After leaving the main base of the Fengcheng Project and heading north for 700 kilometers, you will arrive at the No. 1 excavation site.
According to the trajectory of time, this is the place where Xian Qianhua and others first discovered ancient human remains, and it was also the place where they tried to end the absurd reincarnation.
The total area of the excavation site is seventeen square kilometers, almost the size of a small town. There are many types of building ruins with very different architectural styles, and they don’t look like remnants of the same era at all. In addition, as the excavation deepens, Xian Qianhua
Others discovered that the main body of the ruins is deep underground and is still in a state of collapse. The internal environment is very bad and dangerous, so it is very unfavorable for excavation and scientific investigation.
But even so, Xian Qianhua and others gained a lot from this treasure house.
After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, Xian Qianhua collected a large number of precious cultural relics and documents from the excavation site and organized them into a systematic intelligence structure.
After analysis and guidance by the central calculation core of the main base, the system was roughly established as follows.
The first is the macro concept.
The birth of these ruins is earlier than the beginning of human civilization on earth, and can even be traced back to seven thousand years before the Cambrian biological explosion on earth. The main style of the ruins is biased towards Byzantine, but the exquisiteness of some core architectural styles is different.
Security is contrary to Byzantine style.
In addition, from the analysis of the stairs in the ruins, the entrances to various rooms, and some suspected living utensils of the indigenous people in the ruins, it can be concluded that the general body size of these ancient Martian ancestors who predate human civilization on Earth is 1.5-1.8 times that of contemporary humans.
However, what puzzled Xian Qianhua and others was that no matter in the initial excavation site No. 1 or in the subsequent excavation sites No. 2-7, they did not find any statues, murals or text images related to the suspected ancestors.
Traces of class.
Therefore, there are two major doubts in the early stages of the intelligence structure.
First, are these buildings really left behind by the conjectured ancestors of Mars? Second, why are there no traces of these "ancestors" left in these buildings that are so familiar to humans?
In addition, when Xian Qianhua and others found and began to excavate Excavation Site No. 3, they found a large number of statues of strange alien-like creatures, which existed in large numbers throughout the building. Some were very big and looked like
They are some kind of auspicious animal statues that ward off evil spirits and stand under the stairs of large palace-like buildings. Some are very small and usually appear as reliefs in the decorative areas of buildings.
Their shapes are roughly the same, with only some minor differences.
Then under this macro or rough inspection scope, the detailed system is divided into two major categories.
The first category is the recording system dominated by the internal documents of the ruins.
However, because the "characters" used in these documents are not any clearly recorded characters in the human system, especially for people like Xian Qianhua, these characters are no different from the heavenly books.
Fortunately, the Fengying Project has taken into account the analysis and calculation of the shape signal wave for filing. Therefore, through the analysis of the calculation core of the main base, Su Wanxia, who is the main person in charge of document analysis, still has a rough understanding of the contents of some document records.
These documents can be divided into three sections, but they belong to the same stage.
The three sections refer to their systematic categories, which can be roughly understood as the upper, middle and lower pieces of a complete puzzle, respectively describing three levels called the "Ladder of Creation".
The top level is the "Spiritual Ocean", which is the machine translation of the main base's calculation core. After Su Wanxia studied linguistics and mysticism by herself, and with the help of some ancient book references, she organized this machine into "the integration of intelligent forms"
”.
What is generally described is that in the concrete macroscopic universe, no matter how far apart the civilizations are, there is still some kind of imperceptible connection between them. And these wisdoms will eventually connect, prosper, and become one
A brand new whole. It is somewhat similar to two single-celled organisms growing separately in a large basin of nutrient solution. Although these two single-celled organisms do not know each other's existence, their divisional evolution and growth are the same, and
We will meet eventually.
The level located in the middle level is "the estrangement is becoming stronger due to mutual beliefs." It is also a machine translation. Obviously regarding the interpretation of some documents in the middle level, the performance of the Central Calculation Core this time is much easier to understand. However, Su Wanxia's performance in the middle level is much clearer.
In terms of interpretation, it took four years to develop a relatively complete conceptual system that can be intuitively recognized by human thinking.
To use a popular concept to describe it, “there are insurmountable cognitive barriers between different wisdoms and reality, and these cognitive barriers exist with faith as the axis, and are almost irreversible and cannot be
Breaking and lifting.”
When Su Wanxia understood this paragraph, she cited many contemporary realistic philosophical theories, mainly focusing on the contemporary society in which humanistic society is fading. The increasing prosperity of dataism is trying to completely strip away individual autonomy and self-thinking ability, which means
Humanity is moving towards a new state of unity.
However, since the birth of human civilization, the establishment of different beliefs is not without benefits. It can even be said that the era of a hundred schools of thought coincides with the era of bursting out ideas. The dataism of contemporary human civilization is obviously not in line with human ideological liberalism.
What is more realistic is rational speculativeism that succumbs to reality.
At first glance it sounds vague, without a specific concept.
A specific and popular description is that the premise of a hundred schools of thought is that the mind is in an era of prosperous material civilization. If it is a time of war, any thought and theory should serve the war and succumb to the war. In a certain sense, contemporary dataism
It is also a special ideology that serves the battle of survival.
Su Wanxia kept trying to deny and then affirm when understanding this part of the content, but he slowly discovered that the content in these middle-level documentary records really captured the essence of civilization and progress.
The two axial concepts of "cognitive barriers" and "unbreakable faith" are deeply imprinted in Su Wanxia's heart.
As for the last part, which is the lowest level, the concept is translated as "the simple and unpretentious moral laws are the basis for binding individual behavior and are irreplaceable." Su Wanxia also spent a long time understanding this part, but she never got the hang of it.
In the end, Chu Xiaoming gave a relatively more acceptable understanding and gave a rough summary of this part of the content.
That is the inevitable display between the laddering, layering and solidification of thought.
simply put……
That is, "The secular world allows you to be carefree, but you despise the roughness of this secular world. That is not noble, that is a bastard."
However, although this theory is supported by Shen Yinuo and Xian Qianhua, Su Wanxia still believes that this understanding is too simple and even falls into the "cognitive barrier" of the middle level.
When we try to understand a problem, we usually have to use the power of three levels: method, system knowledge and practical common sense. It is like we get a tool that has never been used before. In the process of coming into contact with it, we will use The knowledge of the system distinguishes its color, shape, properties, weight, etc., and then gives a rough concept.
Then, we will shake it with common sense and press some movable "switches" to try to use it. During the whole process, we must rely on trying to avoid using this tool because it is sharp, high-temperature, or obviously corrosive. Injury to oneself.
This series of thinking is the result of intelligent systematization, and during the entire execution process, we cannot really follow the computer's path operation mode, but operate synchronously with multiple threads or even hyper-threading.
Of course, this goes too far.
Back to business.
After Su Wanxia realized that her own cognition fell into the "cognitive barrier", she began to re-examine the two mechanical words "simple" and "moral law".
The central computing core of the base is a "touch-back" computing architecture based on the third-generation Sinan architecture. The biggest advantage of this architecture is that it skips the 121212 instruction thinking of the benchmark data code and directly collides and merges different intelligence samples. Extract feedback to analyze computational data.
To understand it animatedly, it's like if you enter the command code 12, the third-generation Sinan architecture will directly drop a bunch of balls on the lattice of the super calculation core. These balls will only touch the data related to the command. Feedback will begin and the relevant answer "3" will be given.
This architecture was initially criticized by many people as a copy of the numerical sequence of movable type printing. It cannot be called an innovation at all, let alone the "supercomputation particle resonance" that surpasses the second-generation Sinan structure.
Indeed, when using the third-generation Sinan to calculate the number of 12, the response speed of this super computing core may not be as fast as the oldest calculator. But if the calculation task of 12 units is increased by ten trillion times, the The response time of the third-generation Sinan architecture may be only 1.5 seconds, which is almost equivalent to one 90,000th of the second-generation Sinan architecture. Only then did people realize that the third-generation Sinan architecture was specially prepared for complex problems.
And in terms of analytical thinking alone, the third-generation Sinan architecture is definitely the closest thing mankind has to the true meaning of "super artificial intelligence" at present.
Therefore, Su Wanxia felt that it was impossible for the central calculation core of the base to randomly find the words "simple" and "moral law" from so many phrases to describe the lowest level.
The system it understands is still very limited through this specific description.
So after receiving objections from the other four people, Su Wanxia quietly connected her brain neurons with the central core late at night through imaginary numbers, and re-analyzed the lowest level.
Then Su Wanxia got two brand new words.
"Childhood" and "Drowning".
At that time, Shen Yinuo, who discovered that Su Wanxia was engaging in such extremely risky operations, called everyone to give Su Wanxia a good scolding. He even activated the basic code of conduct formulated by the five of them and put Su Wanxia in solitary confinement.
And this just gave Su Wanxia an absolutely quiet and immersive thinking space.
During that time, Su Wanxia superimposed and integrated the system concepts of the upper, middle and lower levels.
"Integration of wisdom forms", "Cognitive barriers", "Childhood".
Create three levels of the ladder.
They are interlinked and connected, that is for sure. But what kind of existence, in what environment and era, recognized these things and formed them into documents to preserve them?
Su Wanxia closed her eyes.
A cone image of the psionic energy analysis shape of Excavation Site No. 1.
It is top-heavy and inserts into the earth at an inclination of 17.5 degrees with the surface of Mars. After excluding the influence of geological activities, the formation of this inclination is ultimately suspected to be related to the special function of the overall axis of the building. It is similar to what was found at the No. 1 excavation site. The ruins can be regarded as a huge whole, and its inclination is to give it a special function.
Su Wanxia gathered the existing data together and let the central calculation core compare multiple possibilities.
For example, the observation angle, as well as various celestial bodies, constellations, etc. in the observation direction at the corresponding angle.
Finally the central core gives the possibility of concentration.
According to the location of Excavation Site No. 1 and the data analysis of the rotation and revolution of Mars, the celestial bodies that the buildings of Excavation Site No. 1 are more conducive to observation are the earth and the sun further away.
At the same time, the central calculation core also discovered that every 427 Martian days, sunlight will pass through the outermost dome structure of Excavation Site No. 1 and fall directly onto a completely destroyed high platform in the deepest part of Excavation Site No. 1.
Although it is impossible to determine what this direct sunlight means, Su Wanxia is convinced that the remains found at Excavation Site No. 1 do have a special purpose.
This use can be extended to a variety of conjectures, among which Su Wanxia believes that there are two most likely conjectures.
The first is that the Martian ancestors are proven to predate human civilization, and if these ancestors have some connection with contemporary humans, this ruins is equivalent to the observatory before the ancestors entered the primary stage of the interstellar immigration era. Martian Ancestors People must have regarded the earth as the best planet for survivors for a long time.
But the irony is that humans on Earth have considered Mars as the best planet to immigrate to for a long time. Of course... this idea was extinguished when humans first set foot on Mars.
Now Mars looks at the Earth just like the Earth looks at the habitable exoplanet Kepler-22b.
However, there is a fatal problem with this conjecture, that is, the early Earth was actually a barren land. Even if the great impact billions of years ago brought many unknown variables to the Earth, in the Cambrian biological universe Before the explosion, the Earth was still not considered a habitable planet, unless the Martian ancestors had already anticipated how the Earth would change.
However, if combined with the theory of "life transformation and creation" which is opposite to the "law of survival of the fittest", even if the earth does not have the conditions for the reproduction of life for a long time, the power of life cannot be underestimated. Passive " The "Garden of Eden"-style "survival of the fittest" believes that the earth first had a livable environment, and then creatures adapted to the environment. However, some modern theories believe that life itself has the power to transform the environment and exist.
This is not limited to humans themselves.
In fact, just as mountains with lush vegetation are far less susceptible to erosion by the earth's own climate factors than barren hills, plants can also create conditions for their own existence.
So even though this conjecture may be fatal, Su Wanxia still thinks it is very likely.
The second conjecture is related to the sun.
As the core of the solar system, the sun is a star in its prime that provides light and heat to the entire galaxy. The universe itself is a collection of nothingness and darkness, and light and heat, as the basic elements of life, highlight the power of a reliable star.
Importance. It is almost certain that the remains left by the ancestors of Mars were observing the sun while observing the earth.
However, compared to humans, the Martian ancestors seemed to have a longer understanding and observation of the sun.
According to Su Wanxia's feelings, no matter whether the sun is in its prime or not, its time scale is not something that human beings need to understand and worry about today.
But before Su Wanxia came here, the "sun" had just disappeared.
The sudden disappearance of the huge star that provides light and heat to the solar system is really confusing and disturbing... The ancestors of Mars have been observing the sun, is it related to the disappearance of the "sun"?
Su Wanxia learned from the literature that the wisdom behind these documents mentioned the concept of "stellar hub". The working principle of this hub is... Since the sun itself is a celestial body in the Milky Way, it also surrounds the Milky Way.
Making revolution movements.
Astronomical observation speed shows that the speed of the sun and the eight planets orbiting the center of the Milky Way is about 250 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to one thousand two hundredth of the speed of light. This speed is between the fourth cosmic speed and the fifth cosmic speed.
Therefore, some scientists have proposed to establish a "stellar hub" by using the revolution speed of the solar system itself, so that humans can break through the critical speed of the fourth universe and have the power to escape the gravitational constraints of the Milky Way.
But although this concept is amazing, it has little practical value.
There is no other reason. Human beings cannot travel freely within the solar system, so how can they fly out of the Milky Way?
You know, if it is really for resources and a wider colony, there are almost endless star systems and various mysterious celestial bodies in the Milky Way that can be explored by humans.
Therefore, the "stellar hub" only flashed briefly and then disappeared without a trace in the contemporary human scientific world.
But Su Wanxia found relevant content in the literature of the ancestors of Mars. For a while, Su Wanxia couldn't help but start to guess. Perhaps some of the ancestors of Mars had left the solar system with the help of the "stellar hub" and went to more distant places.
Unknown star territory.
And if this conjecture is true, it means that there may be a "stellar hub" left by the ancestors of Mars in the solar system that humans have not yet set foot on, and it will become the "ladder of creation" for humans to step onto and advance themselves.
