The Half-sphere Civilization, although it had acquired Curvature Technology in the last division of the spoils of war and had successfully advanced to Level 4 Civilization, the rest of its foundation remained within the Third-level Civilization category. It absolutely could not compare to the New Human Civilization, and it had a long way to go to catch up with the New Human Civilization.
These Half-sphere scientists clearly seed a bit uneasy because the demands they were currently making were beyond the initial frawork of cooperation. Such technology requires a huge cost to obtain.
"Professor Zhang, what do you think? Is such cooperation possible?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and finally said, "Cooperation should be no problem. Our civilization is willing to help you continue to move forward. That will not change."
"However, our current auxiliary brain technology can only increase the operational speed of thought to 150%-180% of the original speed. Any faster would lead to breakdown of thought, which also limits our intelligence to a certain extent."
"On the other hand, the speed of thought in a neuron-based brain has its limits. The speed of the electrical signals in the neurons is only a couple of hundred ters per second, further constraining the upper limit of thought speed. Depending on personal constitution, I estimate 300% is the upper limit for a neuron-based brain."
"So... to break through the limitations of the neuron-based brain, one must resort to Consciousness Upload thods, and change the brain!"
"While a Level 5 Civilization has thought speed of light or at least sub-light speed levels, enhancing thought speed by tens of thousands, even millions of tis, requires a complete brain transformation... Either a carbon-based biological brain, or a silicon-based Photon Chip could work. I still favor the biological brain as it has better compatibility with Self-awareness."
"So the technology you are hoping for, we currently do not have... I am very sorry about that."
Upon saying this, Zhang Yuan recalled the technology of Consciousness Upload.
Uploading one’s Self-awareness and mories into a special Virtual World, and then through a series of technical ans to improve it, indeed could greatly accelerate the thinking speed of Self-awareness.
So scientists once had a brilliant idea that if in a computer, only one person’s Self-awareness was uploaded, and then this Self-awareness was given the maximum control permissions, even able to control the computer itself, wouldn’t that be tantamount to silicon-based brain transformation?
However, the operational mode of human thought is not up to standard, blindly accelerating the speed of thought would only lead to the collapse of the self, so this brilliant idea could only be shelved.
On the other hand, using Virtual World-related techniques on the Half-sphere Civilization required approval from the Scientific Council, and he didn’t have such authority on his own.
After hearing Zhang Yuan’s explanation, these scientists from the Half-sphere Civilization seed sowhat disappointed.
The integration of human and machine is a very difficult step, requiring Consciousness Upload and mory integration. If they weren’t completely clueless about how to implent these technologies, why would they directly seek help from New Human Civilization? After so many years of cooperation, the Half-sphere Civilization had so inkling that the New Humans possessed this kind of cutting-edge technology.
But they also knew that it’s not a big deal to have so secrets between each other.
The two parties were just in a cooperative relationship; it was never possible to force things directly.
After being silent for quite a while, these Half-sphere scientists finally ca to terms with it; they knew that the developnt of technology must be taken slowly. Even if they completed the final piece of the puzzle, they couldn’t just reach the heavens in one step. It still required a significant accumulation of ti.
Zhang Yuan said, "You can’t be too hasty. Even if there is this kind of thinking, experints must be conducted and great sacrifices made to succeed, and these sacrifices must involve A-level high-quality individuals. I still suggest that you raise the overall quality of your civilization first, accumulate so foundation, then consider it..."
"As for this Thought Acceleration technology, we will think of a way to experint on so natives who are heavily addicted to electronic hormones. The current Lenino Civilization, which is addicted to electronic hormones, would be suitable."
"You can’t be hasty, each A-level Half-sphere individual is precious. Why lose a life for no reason?"
His words were indeed true; the journey must be taken step by step. The current foundation of the Half-sphere Civilization was truly insufficient. It wasn’t possible for the New Human Civilization to arrange everything for them, was it? Clinging to coattails wasn’t done in such a manner!
Zhang Yuan’s young assistant also said, "Yes... Professor Kerman, let’s take it slow. It’s essential to produce more Saint templates first. Thinking about these issues ahead of ti is sowhat premature."
Encouraged by their comfort, the scientist nad Kerman regained his confidence. After discussing for a while, he suddenly uttered two words: "Applause!"
"Ah... applause..."
Before they knew it, it was ti to leave work, and they talked as they left the laboratory.
Due to long hours of overti, Zhang Yuan felt dizzy and gave his head a good shake.
During this period, the pressure on him had been imnse, to the point where he could even dream about the words "Level 5 Civilization."
It wasn’t just him; Zhang Yuan could clearly feel that major changes were happening within human civilization...
Many people’s thoughts had beco more radical, and during the extended public debates, it seed that even abandoning their current ways of thinking was becoming acceptable.
"This should be called... evolution!"
As the group arrived at the glass walkway, suddenly, everyone saw several large spaceships flying overhead. Then, multiple colorful hydrogen bombs were detonated in the starry sky, lighting up the entire planet with the nuclear fireballs.
This was the standard interstellar diplomatic etiquette used to welco the high-level leaders of an alien civilization.
"Eh? What’s going on?"
Zhang Yuan looked up and saw spaceships coming and going, landing at the airport, and then he rembered that the entire Alliance was still investigating a Level 1 Civilization!
"Oh, I rember now. It’s the visitors from the Lainino Civilization. I wonder how the investigation of that native civilization is going..."
This piqued his intense curiosity, and since it was ti to rest after work, it seed like a good idea. So after saying goodbye to the scientists from the Half-sphere Civilization, he quickly took a maglev train to et the Lainino people visiting the Kyushu...
The white-haired gorillas who ca to visit the Kyushu numbered six thousand visits, including governnt officials, scientific researchers, and so literary workers – practically a large tour group. Most of the white-haired gorillas were still in a state of unreal bewildernt.
This peculiar alien civilization was excessively polite, with everything well organized and thoughtful, to the point that they felt sincerely anxious.
First, there were the spaceships capable of superluminal speeds. This was true superluminality... When flying, they couldn’t even see the stars outside!
So literary workers had already been struck by a wealth of inspiration and couldn’t wait to get back and churn out their writings.
Then there were those huge, colorful fireworks that were actually hydrogen bombs - turning hydrogen bombs into an array of colors was a genuine skill indeed.
Finally, this actual War Star, with mountainous, colossal machines on its surface, truly dazzled their eyesight!
Although the planet was smaller than their Mother Star, it was a real War Star indeed!
