Chapter 156 Never sleep?

?Yu Yifeng was worried for a long time, but there was no better way, so he could only let Xu Yunjin do this matter by himself.

There is indeed something wrong with the profession of soldier...

They have been too comfortable for more than a hundred years. The social order is stable, the resources are unprecedentedly developed, and the contradictions are there? No...

Now the entire civilization has a population of 800,000, and about 10,000 soldiers, accounting for 1.25% of the total population. This proportion is still relatively high. Including detectives, pilots, mechanical soldiers, communication soldiers, etc., there are about 20 kinds of categories.

There are no doubt that so many soldiers must have warriors and those who are not afraid of sacrifice. But the comfortable environment over the years has made the entire army lack a trace of killing spirit.

If soldiers cannot stand up at critical moments, then some problems will definitely arise in the development of new human beings...

"Practice your troops, practice it, it's good to correct it in advance!"

Yu Yifeng shook his head, no longer thinking about this matter, but focused his attention on this meeting.

Scientists were still discussing fiercely, and few people noticed that Xu Yunjin, who was sitting in front, had left.

In their mouths, artificial intelligence, huge creatures, and "organisms that can be invisible in visible waves", "non-carbonyl creatures", "electromagnetic wave creatures"... all kinds of strange ideas emerge.

"If there is really a self-aware 'artificial intelligence' or some strange life, will it have great reference for science? The answer... is yes! I think it is necessary to conduct further investigation on this planet...find this artificial intelligence!"

A computer expert said enthusiastically.

Humans still can't figure out the strong artificial intelligence so far, and they don't even have a clue.

"If there is a strong artificial intelligence template... it will be too much inspiration for us in science!" The scientist said excitedly. He seemed to have forgotten that the local war that just happened also ignored the danger of investigating the planet at close range.

"wrong!"

Until then, another scientist stood up, Dr. Rambo.

He shouted: "Listen to me, I think there is another possibility! It's not artificial intelligence, but a...a Gaia creature composed of microorganisms!"

Yu Yifeng was stunned: "Gaia Bio?"

He nodded and said, "Oh... Sorry, this is the noun I just created. In layman's terms, it is a collective consciousness composed of microorganisms!"

"We might as well relax our thinking. We immediately discovered strange algae in the ocean. Their structure is quite complex, their biological activities are vigorous, and they have certain unknown animal characteristics!"

"From the current information, these phytoplankton algae can produce a weak electromagnetic signal and biological signal. Do they connect through these signals?

"If the global algae were connected in series, would it form a complex neural network system?"

Rambo said, walking to the screen while walking to the screen and turning out microscopic images of algae organisms. His bold guesses aroused people's thinking...

Yu Yifeng also held his chin and thought deeply. If he wanted to develop wisdom and self-awareness, he could only rely on a brain full of nerve cells?

At present, it seems like this...

Humans have brains, indigenous lizards have brains, Knicks have brains, and even the original "black" species have brains!

The structures of these brains are quite similar.

But this evidence is not sufficient. Humans do not know the reason for wisdom, nor do they know how self-awareness is produced...

During the Earth period, there was a noun called "bee swarm thinking". This term is used to describe a group of bees in a bee nest, like a self-conscious whole.

The magic of "swarm thinking" is that no bee can control it, but there is an invisible hand, a hand that emerges from a large number of dull members, controlling the entire group...

Similarly, if phytoplankton algae can create synchronous signals and communicate with each other like neurons, then every cubic meter or cubic decimeter of seawater can be used as a unit of consciousness.

The huge ocean is like a mind, and the algae unit is the nerve cells in it.

Such a collective consciousness creature is called...

"Gaia Biology"!

Gaia, a conjecture that has existed since ancient times. Around 400 BC, Plato proposed a view that the earth is a huge living organism.

Therefore, people fantasize that the consciousness that the planet has is called the Gaia consciousness!

"So, Gaia consciousness is sometimes called the will of the planet. But I think that the one we are currently encountering cannot replace the will of the entire planet... because land seems to be not its range of capabilities, it can only control the ocean at most."

“Its capabilities are limited…”

And according to this theory, if there is really Gaia creature, then the huge green eyes will be said.

That's...

Biological telescope!

This Gaian creature is not omnipotent. Although they are huge and spread throughout the ocean, they also require certain unique structures to perceive the outside world.

Some scattered cells out of thin air cannot "see" or "hear" the outside world.

It is necessary to have a structure similar to the human eye, that is,... a "giant telescope" composed of countless microbial cells to see clearly the outer space thousands of kilometers away!

In this way... it becomes the "huge eyes" that people see!

Then it was blown up by a nuclear bomb...

Hearing this explanation, the people on the venue fell silent for a moment.

"Microbial telescopes... In this way, they do look like they are all seawater."

The emergence of this "Gaia creature" seems to go beyond the scope of human biology.

Its body composition is scattered, and it seems that as long as the "bee swarm thinking" on the earth goes further and forms greater wisdom, it will become a Gaia creature...

But this is a bit unimaginable.

If it does exist, humans know almost nothing about its nature!

Another scientist pressed the speech button and said with concern: "If... the special algae in the sea really produces self-awareness and wisdom... Such a huge number of units are gathered together and connected through some calculation method, what level of intelligence can it support?"

"A mind as big as an ocean has trillions of cells, or more? Does this IQ have millions or tens of millions of IQ?"

"Humans can no longer understand this kind of creature with an IQ of less than 200, right?"

When everyone heard this conjecture, they were shuddered.

Can I go from elementary mathematics to calculus with a few million IQ in one day?

In another day, can we come up with the theory of relativity?

This is the enemy that humans... have to face?

But soon another biologist jumped up and refuted the view with excitement: "Impossible! Dr. Del, your idea is absolutely unsatisfactory!"

"Doesn't the transmission of communication signals take time? Just like the transmission speed of neurons in our minds is only one or two hundred meters per second, and it is the result of billions of years of optimization!"

"It's just a joke to connect the entire huge ocean. Is it the speed of light that spreads information?! If this Gaia creature really exists, its intelligence must have a limit, which may be very high, indeed higher than us, but it will definitely not be as high as a level of millions!"

The scientist known as Del immediately asked: "Is the trace electromagnetic waves they emit not the speed of light?"

The biologist shook his head and said, "The biological currents on our neurons are still the speed of light... Do these signals do not require cells to accept and digest? This must take time!"

"Unless... the individual cells that make up Gaia creatures do not need to communicate with each other, but do not communicate, it is impossible to generate collective wisdom!"

In the current lack of evidence, people agree with the biologist.

Although Gaia Bio, although it is huge, its IQ will definitely not be too high!
