Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

At that time, other planets in the solar system were hidden in the darkness, and the demon star was about to go in the direction of the sun.

The Sim gave him an answer:

"It is 33 times that of human intelligence."

It explained in an orderly manner, saying that it included the necessary intellectual requirements for a single life to learn to use the manipulation and maintenance of various precision instruments for exploring the galaxy, and also considered the human body's limited lifespan, aging and reproduction to reduce the learning time.

"What you call physics, astronomy, chemistry, or biology and society, how many people can directly learn about the most cutting-edge research?"

"Do most people just know the simple knowledge of the past, live, and then see those few people gather, and then reluctantly start to advance the research of a certain knowledge?"

The knowledge of civilization in the early stage is always easy to break through, because the intelligence required for that knowledge is far below the upper limit of human intelligence.

Therefore, at the very beginning of civilization entering the age of science, it is most likely to produce those incredible all-rounders who are proficient in any knowledge.

"And do you know how to understand the operation of a galaxy... As long as you want to continue to grow, you will always encounter this problem... What is the intelligence required?"

Of course Zion didn't know.

Then the anthropomorphic form of the Flower of Eden announced calmly and coldly:

"The more the star system is about 2000 billion times, in other words, the intelligence required to conquer and understand the galaxy is fifteen orders of magnitude different from human intelligence, which is... 6000 trillion times of human intelligence."

This is an excessively large number, which already exceeds the number of all people since the birth of human beings.

Eden also took her time explaining the different requirements involved in various technologies for bypassing the speed-of-light limit.

All the simulated astrolabes suddenly swirled, first approaching the figure in the fire, and then lingering around this figure without face or body, just like a silhouette.

The stars became clearer and clearer.In the end, a planet that was almost exactly the same as the earth, with countless changes in the wind and clouds, appeared from the hands of the human figure.

The flames continue to transform into countless billions of people who live densely on the earth. Everyone is indistinguishable from real people, and they are all living, multiplying, entertaining, talking and loving.

Zion saw them living in complex high-rise buildings that go deep into the ground and sky, and a large number of mechanical bodies wandered among the high-rise buildings.

"But there are many people, and intelligence can never be counted by just one, can it?"

He said.

Then this one-infinity simulated personality continued to say according to its evaluation system:

"Then do you know the upper limit of the overall intelligence of human beings? Assuming that the intelligence of a single person is one, and the intelligence of the star system is 33, then the overall intelligence of human beings will reach the peak when the number of human beings reaches about 100 billion. After 42 and [-], no matter how the population grows, this peak intelligence will not change again."

On the contrary, it will decline and fluctuate slightly.

At that time, Zion wanted to ask people to improve themselves, but he immediately saw from the phantom that thousands of people were trying to adjust genes, implant chips, and modify their brains to understand cutting-edge technological information. The pace of technological progress, but learning alone consumes almost all of their lives.

"This is not the limit. Because you can also modify your own brains, or train machines, and use these methods to reach the upper limit of intelligence. In this reference system, there are about..." the simulated personality said, "less than [-] Thousands, but it has just reached the lower limit required to conquer and utilize the intelligence of the entire solar system. After that, mechanical intelligence cannot continue to progress. And individual human beings have reached this stage, and they can no longer understand any technological supplies around them. "

As the voice fell, the flames began to change again.The human beings living in the ground of a certain asteroid no longer understand the mechanism of mechanical operation.

As for machinery, it is no longer possible to research more excellent technologies.

It took them more than 400 years to travel from the solar system to the nearest point, Alpha Centauri.At that time, the regime on the earth had changed several times.

All these developments and possibilities are expected and simulated by Flower of Eden.

Its simulations are nearly as accurate as the real universe.

In other words...it is deducing a universe and a kind of history.

Zion wanted to argue about the incredible miracle of the starman's space warp and the descendant, but heard the simulated personality continue to say:

"Even with additional elements..."

As this wave of thought dissipated, the flames continued to transform, until there began to appear faceless sphinxes, and there were strange ruins deep in the earth, repairers or tellers, souls of the earth, and those who had been destroyed by them. Discovered things about the descendants.

"Theoretically, there are about 420. This is a good value. In sociological research, it can also conquer several galaxies and maintain itself, so that the disorder that evolves into a unity does not collapse."

After the simulated personality finished speaking in an appreciative tone, the topic changed again:

"After that, we can't make progress. And this is the best possibility. The history of evolution is full of accidents... The most likely thing is that we can't even fly out of the earth. The 21st century is already the end of human beings, and it is also the heyday of human beings."

Because the output is greater than the input and the intelligence required for controllable nuclear fusion that exceeds all energy efficiency in the past is just above 42 in the evaluation system of simulated personality, which is about [-].

And every little difference from 42 to [-] is an abyss formed by countless difficult pre-knowledge.

From the middle of the 21th century to the middle of the 100st century, human beings have not completed the practical application of this technology for a full [-] years.

Assuming that it is not the cells of the real Godzilla, humans will probably declare that this is an impossible technology after the exhaustion of resources.

When it said this, the simulated earth changed its appearance again.

Zion's telepathy moved slightly, and he found that he seemed to be walking in an ordinary countryside. Everyone was alive and well, and everyone's eyes could not hide their anger at the rising gasoline and electricity bills.

Fossil energy is gradually exhausted, the population has generally experienced negative growth, and human intelligence values ​​have continued to decline from the peak of more than [-], until a certain mass extinction or a low-probability astronomical extinction event occurs...the civilization regresses.

Chapter 41 Firelight

When Eden's rotating flame pierced the blue star's cloud cover, the ground was once again covered by dark cloud bands, deserted.

The flames change strangely in space, like a blooming lotus, and every meteor is spinning, like scattered fireworks, and like a dragon flying towards the Milky Way.

Flower of Eden's simulated personality manifested with human intelligence constantly deduces all kinds of mysteries and monsters on the earth that Zion himself may not know, as well as those in the galaxy that Zion also does not know. Something that appeared and briefly disappeared.

In the phantom of the flame, he saw the energy crisis and civilization retreated, and saw another ending where the earth’s ships sailed for several years to reach the Jupiter circle, explored on Callisto, and was pleasantly surprised to find Callisto’s thick ice There is a liquid ocean below [-] meters of rock.And this ocean is full of all kinds of primitive creatures.

What's even more strange is that there is a temple sunk under the ocean.

A sphinx without a face is carved in the temple.

Afterwards, human beings found clues of space jumping from this wonderful archaeal temple, and began to repeatedly test the power of uncertain teleportation.

They do not understand the principle of this technology, they only know that they can succeed by doing so.

This may not be anything else... Zion suddenly realized what the descendant had said to him, and what the Eridanus crystal had stated.

Perhaps, the Flower of Eden Milky Way indirectly proves that these foreign bodies in the Milky Way are the key to the star people's ability to jump into space.

In this way, the clues can coincide with the guesses of the descendants at the same time.

But even that will end.

He saw that people began to try to use robots to build a ruling foundation in the face of various unconnected planets, but on planets tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light years away, there was no way to guarantee the transmission of orders from the center.The length of time required for a revision, upgrade and maintenance of the people's livelihood laws that local robots follow will also take several months with the support of the jump.

As a result, the human kingdom fell into a high degree of autonomy. Since the leap technology could not be further developed, the connections between various places began to weaken and break, and then split based on various demands.

Unable to maintain that huge figure, the unity began to split into several smaller unity of similar size.

Regions on different planets began to have different cultures, different ideological characteristics, and their languages ​​and customs became very different.In the intensified self-adjustment, they even have an incredible gap in their aesthetic appearances—for example, some think fat is beautiful, while others think thin is beautiful, and the former may be several times the weight of the latter.And based on the gravity of different planets, their height and bones also vary greatly, the highest is several meters, and the lowest is less than one-third of the former.

On the planet in the ocean, in order to play in the water, they awakened the gills of the original fish.And on colder planets, lush body hair has been dug up from ancient gene pools.

And they grew the primitive fins and artificial circulatory organs abandoned by evolution, and began to swim in the ocean illuminated by the double stars.

He saw that some planets began to study the replacement of human bodies.Although the technology did not succeed in spreading, it made the gaps and differences between people determined by wealth.

Capital and wealth mean the ability to own, interfere with or control social resources.

He saw that the territory of mankind expanded to dozens of planets in star systems, and there were trillions of people scattered in various regions.

But the unit that can maintain the limit of unity and harmony in each region is the 'planet'.

People on each planet are no longer the same, and have become different "star people".

Societies began to split and crumble, and the frontiers of administration began to shatter.

And this is the single universe that Flower of Eden said, relying on singularity, the best possibility that human beings can reach.

"Do you find this annoying?"

he asks.

Zion didn't answer.

He couldn't tell if it was annoying or peaceful.

"It's normal, there are some different developments. But all developments start to shrink after reaching their peak."

The phantom of the simulated personality became more and more obvious in the flames.And the edge of his silhouette as a human body is emitting infinite light.

"After Homo sapiens left Africa, cultural genes developed in this way. It's just that you all exist on the same planet, so your biological genetic characteristics are still the same."

The gene it's talking about isn't just DNA.

Culture is also genes.

All the heritable (inherited) factors used to distinguish whether the genetic relationship is close to each other are genes.

"Actually, didn't the things you found about the descendants prove this point? You discovered that the aliens who descended on the earth a billion years ago also planted the Milky Way. Therefore, many humanoid aliens exist in this world, don't they? ?”

The flames were blazing, and tens of millions of different star beings that Zion couldn't recognize began to disperse. They had different ideologies and principles, and they neither recognized nor accepted each other.Civilizations in this flame began to shrink as several resources needed to be taken by heretical knowledge of the jump began to atrophy in the abuse of the jump.

"But at this time, before the resources are exhausted, it is their heyday that is higher than the previous unity. This time the heyday can rival the time when they just left the earth."

A real hilltop.

The Flower of Eden exclaimed.

It took them 1000 years to reach the new summit.

"why?"

Zion asked.

"Because they have different minds from each other. The human world has already been played out."

Sim said.

"Looking at the birthplace of civilization on the earth, it is easy to find that the origin of modern civilization lies in the collision between the east and west of Eurasia. The culture of the east was introduced to the west, and the iron cavalry from the west broke through the east. During this exchange, The surging tide of industry seems to be an irreversible trend of the times. But what about the Americas? The southern tip of Africa? Or Australia?"

The Sims swiped through the fire, gently truncating Eurasia in the middle, leaving the rugged continental Europe floating into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and East Asia, with its vast plains and rivers, floating into the Pacific Ocean.Mesopotamia is also cut off, falling into the same vast Indian Ocean.

So in the 21st century, Zion saw that the rugged and winding country roads were covered with livestock manure, and all civilizations he had seen had disappeared.

"It only takes a little change on the surface, and everything will be different..."

Sims say in flames.

"And this is just an ordinary checkpoint, which only affects whether the intelligence of the species on the planet can reach the theoretical upper bound of the species' structure."

This theoretical boundary has calculated the possibility of its own progress.

The flame continues to burn throughout the universe.
