Epoch of Twilight

Along the way, the attitude of the young officer was not very good. Although he strictly followed the diplomatic etiquette and basically answered some questions about the two-brained people who did not involve any sensitive questions, he still had an aloof air about him. overflowing.

As a new generation of human beings, human beings have been the well-deserved overlords of the nearby star field since he was born.

Highly developed civilization, ever-changing science and technology, and the rising period of civilization's vigorous development, as far as the eye can see, it is full of backwardness and wildness. Even recently, a civilization that seems to be stronger than human beings has been discovered, but with a high-spirited and confident mentality. Let him still believe that this is just an insignificant pebble in the progress of mankind.

After all, human beings are developing too fast. Since the production of smart medicine began to explode a hundred years ago, it has gradually spread to everyone. At the same time, the proportion of people engaged in scientific research positions has also begun to rise linearly, and it has reached an astonishing 100% by now. ninety one.

Converted to the number of people, it is about 540 million people. This is an extremely astonishing number. It is like a huge engine that promotes the rapid development of human civilization. In this ever-changing era, there is naturally a kind of contempt for everything in my heart. mentality.

However, in the eyes of a double-brained person, the young officer's attitude is too normal. However, this is the attitude that a high-level civilized master should have. I even feel that the rigid expression on his face and the indifferent demeanor exude an inexplicable strangeness. The majesty, even the appearance that does not conform to the aesthetics of people with double brains, seems to have become a little noble, shining and charming.

Many double-brained women secretly looked at this young officer frequently, with a trace of scorching heat in their fear, even though she was taller and stronger than a human.

...

Humans have already eliminated nuclear fusion engines, and antimatter is commonly used. This aircraft is no exception. It can accelerate all the way up to 0.9 times the speed of light. If necessary, it can be slightly modified to increase fuel reserves, and even short-distance interstellar voyage.

Of course, the distance between the spaceport and the earth is only more than one million kilometers, and the aircraft has already entered the near space just by accelerating to a thousand kilometers per second. Soon all the double-brained people are attracted by the beautiful scenery of the earth.

Looking down from space, apart from a piece of emerald green, the continent has no other variegated colors.

If the ocean is compared to a sapphire, then the continent is the emerald embedded in the sapphire, which is so beautiful.

Over the years, human footprints are still "shrinking" in the area of ​​East Asia in the northern hemisphere, and have not expanded much, so that the rest of the land is basically a dense forest. In the final analysis, the human population is still too small, let alone fill three new lands It will take at least a hundred years for the transformed planet of life to even fill the earth.

At this time, they seemed to see some strange phenomenon, and a group of double-brained people began to argue in a low voice, with disbelief on their faces:

"My lord, can you tell us what is that translucent layer? Is it an energy shield?"

The young officer glanced at it, and found that the other party was referring to the African continent. Seventy years ago, this continent was covered by a huge electromagnetic force field and became a paradise for mutant beasts, so he nodded his head lightly. said:

"There are a large number of mutant beasts concentrated there, which is dangerous to a certain extent, so that continent has been isolated."

All the double-brained people looked at each other, what kind of terrifying creature actually needs to be isolated with this obviously energy shield, and since it is dangerous, why not eliminate it.

The energy it consumes every second is probably comparable to the consumption of their entire planet in a year. They don't believe that with the strength shown by advanced civilization, there can be any terrible beasts threatening them.

But alien master, rich and powerful, of course he can be willful.

They asked a question, and seeing the attitude of the alien master not wanting to say more, they wisely shut their mouths.

...

In fact, this continent is home to all the terrestrial mutant creatures on the entire earth. It is the largest genetic treasure house for human beings. There are more than one hundred service agencies collecting genes and biological samples there for a long time, and new ones are discovered every year. There are more than 50,000 genomes, and more than 100 natural abilities that cannot be replicated by technology have been discovered.

At the same time, nearly 35% of research results come from bionics.

For example, the most sensational research result recently, the man-made miniature universe, comes from a magical mutant named "Glutton".

It is not big, just as big as a puppy, but its appetite is astonishing. It can easily eat food hundreds of times larger than itself. After this mysterious phenomenon was discovered, it was immediately captured by humans .

The final study found that its stomach pouch is completely an independent space, and its esophagus is a natural space channel.

Its level is not high, and it can be cloned completely. However, when it passes through the embryo, the change process of the gastric band and its independent space has been continuously studied for several years, and the principle is still unknown.

However, although there is no progress in the principle of space formation, it does not prevent human beings from applying it.

Human biotechnology has reached a very high level. Editing genes is as easy as programming. Humans can even set size parameters and specific shapes in advance, and directly cultivate organisms that are tens of thousands of times larger than the prototype directly from the culture medium. space bag.

It is foreseeable that when these biological space bags are gradually applied to the galaxy mineral transportation industry, the transportation efficiency will probably be improved by hundreds to thousands of times.

...

Half an hour later, the aircraft flew over the southern hemisphere and finally stopped at the airport in Hope City.

Relevant diplomats have come to greet them, but the standard is obviously not high, there are only a few of them.

Soon this group of people was sent to the State Guesthouse, and the specific negotiation and signing will be held in two days.

The novelty and sci-fi scene along the way was dazzled and inexplicably awed by the people with both brains. After walking out of the shuttle door, their feet were a little weak. After politely refusing the banquet specially entertaining them, a group of people started a closed-door meeting.

"Their population seems to be very small. The entire planet is basically covered with forests. There are few pedestrians on the streets of the city, and the business is withered." An intelligence officer of a double-brained person said first: "This shows that their technological potential is not great."

"But the gap of thousands of years, how many years do we need to catch up? Ten thousand years, tens of thousands of years, this is not a problem that needs to be considered now." The senior executive of the double-brained man knocked on the table and said seriously: "Now our most important It is to collect information that is useful to us, especially about technology, social forms, and various advanced development experiences, and then humbly learn from it.”

After implementing the central idea, the two-brained people continued to discuss the information collected along the way.

"Their automation is very high, artificial intelligence fills every corner, and service personnel have basically been eliminated. I just don't know how the factory is. I think it should be the same. Otherwise, we can't have such a large industrial scale. Maybe we can also We can develop in this direction." A person with two brains said.

"Don't you worry about the rebellion of artificial intelligence, which will cause the destruction of civilization!" A double-brained man retorted fiercely. Double-brained people already have artificial intelligence, but it is only used in a small range because of the impact on society and the possibility of loss of control.

"This is an inevitable trend in the development of civilization. Fire is terrible, and electricity is also terrible, but they were tamed by us in the end. I am afraid that it will not solve any problems. What should be done is how to control it. What's more, now that we have a suzerain country, since human beings Not wanting to destroy us shows that we are useful, even if there is a problem, as long as we make a humble request, I believe that human beings will not sit idly by."
