Chapter 286 Technical Barriers

Yue Yuan knew the reason why scientists had not shown signs of decadence, because they all pinned their hopes on the space multi-point particle collider that was about to be completed.

According to the progress of the project, it is estimated that the collider will be completed in another fifty years.

Yue Yuan was worried that if there was no progress for a long time after the collider was put into use, would mankind fall into decadence.

He also noticed that there were some comments in public opinion that intentionally or unintentionally revealed: since humans are no longer in danger in this star field, it is better to find a resource-rich star system and stop there.

These comments believe that compared to running around aimlessly in the universe, it is better to settle down in the star system and develop. It doesn’t matter if there are no beautiful planets, just live on the spaceship. Anyway, there are enough resources. After using up the resources of this star system, just run to the next star system.

Yue Yuan couldn’t judge whether it was better to continue wandering or to develop in this way, but he felt a mentality from these comments, that is: comfort!

Now humans have Life Potion No. 1 and Life Potion No. 2, which together give almost everyone a long life span of 600 years. In addition, during the past 100 years, after biologists have made unremitting efforts to study the biosphere of the Gnoll Planet, Life Potion No. 3 is about to succeed.

With a long life span and stagnation in science and technology, the enterprising spirit of mankind has been wiped out by comfort and gradually become content with the status quo.

In Yi Kai's words, it is the lazy gene of mankind that has been buried for who knows how many years, which seems to be appearing silently and destroying the rational enterprising spirit in the human self-consciousness.

"Academician Yi, do you think it is inevitable that a person will fall into decay and decadence if he stays in a certain position for a long time?" Yue Yuan looked at the scientists who came out of the science and technology seminar venue, and walked to Yi Kai who was still sitting in the front row.

Others left one after another, and the venue became quiet, so Yi Kai heard Yue Yuan's words clearly, and even the light sigh in his words, he could hear it.

"Nothing is inevitable, General." Yi Kai closed his personal terminal without standing up or looking back at Yue Yuan. Instead, he leaned back on his seat and said lightly, "Look, I've lived for so long, but I'm still passionate."

"Uh, you know what I'm talking about, Old Yi." Yue Yuan walked around in front of Yi Kai and looked at him with a serious look on his face: "Old Yi, including the hibernation time, we have known each other for more than 2,000 years, right?"

"General, don't be so serious. I'm a little uncomfortable with Old Yi. I still like the you I met in Guanghan Palace back then. Just say whatever you want to say." Now is not a serious working time, so Yi Kai speaks casually, or he is just like that.

"People will always change"

Yue Yuan hadn't finished speaking when he saw Yi Kai spread his hands and interrupted, "I don't have any."

"Okay, Old Yi, what is your ideal?" Yue Yuan suddenly asked.

"Exploring the true meaning of life, it has been like this from beginning to end. I don't know if I can live to that day." Yi Kai said, standing up from the chair.

"It would be great if every scientist could move forward courageously." Yue Yuan took a step back, letting Yi Kai walk out of the meeting seat, and then sighed.

"Hmm? Chief, you are not going to try to brand me with your thoughts, are you?!" Yi Kai suddenly frowned, and his words were no longer as relaxed as before.

He stared at Yue Yuan with a serious look, and then slowly said: "Chief, that thing was decided at the meeting, and it must not be used on us. Unknown consequences are always the most terrible."

Yi Kai knew Yue Yuan very well. It was impossible for him to come to him and sigh for no reason. He must have some ideas.

So when he heard him sigh, he thought of this.

"Um, Old Yi, what are you talking about? When did I mention the thought imprint?" Yue Yuan avoided Yi Kai's eyes, and then changed the subject: "By the way, Old Yi, what did you mean by the words at the seminar just now? Why do I feel that you haven't finished talking yet?"

To be honest, although the thought imprint technology has not been successful yet, Yue Yuan did have some thoughts just now, but after seeing Yi Kai so serious, he also felt that he was a little overwhelmed by the recent situation.

"I have some ideas, but they are not perfect yet, so it is not convenient to say more at the meeting. After all, this matter cannot be done overnight. I plan to spend some time to perfect this idea, and it should be almost ready for the seminar next year." Yi Kai nodded.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Yue Yuan turned off the magnetic boots, then used one hand to force his body along the guide rod, and followed Yi Kai who was floating out of the venue, and asked curiously.

"Technical barriers, it's normal. From the second-level civilization to the third-level civilization, it is abnormal to have no technical barriers." Yi Kai answered while floating.

Yue Yuan knew that he had something else to say, so he kept silent.

Sure enough, after two inhalations, Yi Kai continued, "Not only did the general manager notice that at that time we achieved nuclear fusion, as well as the process of heavy nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion."

"Of course I remember." Yue Yuan nodded.

While floating, Yi Kai turned his head and said to Yue Yuan beside him, "That's it. Let's not talk about the time when we achieved controlled nuclear fusion. Let's talk about the heavy nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion that are the hallmarks of the second-level civilization. If we hadn't obtained them directly from the Kuntai civilization, we don't know how many years it would take us to develop cold nuclear fusion technology.

So I think that not only the second-level civilization to the third-level civilization, but every level of civilization will face an extremely difficult barrier, or the cosmic filter.

Every barrier, every filter will eliminate countless civilizations. And to cross these barriers and filters, it must not be as simple as the technical level. "

"Not as simple as the technical level? Not the technical barriers?" Yue Yuan frowned.

"Well, maybe it has something to do with us humans ourselves." Yi Kai said.

Hearing this, Yue Yuan immediately thought of the recent situation of human society, so he said: "Academician Yi is talking about the decadent phenomenon that has appeared in our human society in recent years?"

"This is just one aspect." Yi Kai nodded and continued: "I said before that this is just a manifestation of the upper hand of genetic instinct in the struggle with wisdom and reason, so it can only be regarded as one aspect, and the other aspect, does the general still remember the awakener? "

"Of course I remember, could it be the degenerate civilization mentioned by the awakener? "

"No, maybe we are not qualified to be the degenerate civilization mentioned by the awakener. "Yi Kai shook his head and replied: "What I want to say is the path of wisdom that the awakener talked about."

"Does Academician Yi mean that with our current brains, or wisdom, there is no way to break through this technical barrier at all?" Yue Yuan paused, his forehead wrinkled into a "chuan" shape.

He could understand the seriousness of it. If this was the case, it would be too bad.
