Deep Space Planet Leader

Academician Ding heard their conversation and turned around.

He sighed softly: "Does it feel a little ridiculous and a little powerless? These days, we have been discussing how to fix the technical hidden dangers left by our predecessors. But there are even greater hidden dangers around us, and Social hidden dangers, humanities hidden dangers."

"Such hidden dangers are hidden in our civilization. I don’t know how many. Racial conflicts, ideological conflicts, any small problem may turn into a big problem. . Even if the decision-making level knows it, they don’t know how to solve it..."

"Do you know how much we paid to develop space? We are impossible to stop development because of some hidden dangers ."

It is difficult to predict what will happen in the next tens of thousands of years.

But what can we do? Without these people, how long will Europa's development be extended?

Many people on Earth may never know that some people are silently paying for their beautiful days.

Zhang Yuan sighed deeply, nodded.

The limitation of the eyes of human beings is only one's own life. From an informatics point of view, the political policies of the overwhelming majority are laid out in accordance with the "greedy algorithm", that is, the local optimal solution in the current state.

Future interests must give way to immediate interests.

If you want to lay out for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, it is beyond the limit of human wisdom.

He won't be sentimental because of this. Even if he is allowed to be the decision maker, he can only choose this way.

Since it exists, it must be reasonable.

The more complex and developed the civilization, the smaller the individual's power will appear. What if he is the leader of the coalition government? In today's society, various forces have constraints on each other, and there are many things that can no longer be changed by one person.

Talking about this, Senior Brother Zhao suddenly said: "With regard to the future development, in the New Civilization School, there is a profound and complex subject that is still in the dream so far, called the History of New Civilization. I don’t know. Have you ever heard of it."

"New civilization history? History subject?" Zhang Yuan is not the first time he has heard of this term, but he doesn't know much about it, and his ears are curiously pricked. Get up.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled, "This subject is very complicated. If you explain it in one sentence, you want to find the global optimal solution of civilization, not a simple greedy algorithm that takes one step and calculates one step."

"Let me give you an example. The development of civilization and the process of personal growth are actually very similar."

In ancient times, due to the poor living environment, a teenager would be Pull to work. Although it satisfies the current survival needs, it also stifles future interests. This kind of training method is called "local optimal solution strategy", that is, only consider the present and not the future.

In the modern environment, a teenager will receive compulsory education. Education does not seem to have current benefits, it is just pure effort. However, the knowledge learned will only exert greater social value after a person has grown up for Great Accomplishment for years.

A person's life span is only a short hundred years, and there are a large number of samples. It is not difficult to plan overall and find a relatively good solution in the meaning of life.

But what about a civilization?

Civilization is a collective of all populations, and it has a high degree of complexity. Its lifespan has been thousands of years and completely surpassed the lifespan of a single human being. How to make overall planning?

But this is what New Civilization History wants to study.

"In the Early Stage of the development of civilization, the population is sparse, the technology is backward, and there is a risk of death at every turn. Equivalent to the infancy of human beings."

"Baby, you know, right? world Concepts and values ​​have not yet matured. Therefore, a civilization in the development of Early-Stage is also the most malleable."

"Then we...have inherited a large legacy." Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Is it the kind of rich second-generation baby?"

"You are right." Senior Brother Zhao's expression became serious: "We certainly have a deeper heritage, equivalent to yes Rich second generation, but it doesn’t mean being able to squander wildly."

"What do you think is the most important thing for a civilization?"

"Of course it is technology!" Zhang Yuan replied immediately.

Senior Brother Zhao smiled and made an expression of "I knew you would say that".

Immediately afterwards, he shook the head again: "Technology equivalent to is the external power of civilization. Do you know external power? As long as you are willing to spend your energy, you can quickly develop it."

Zhang Yuan frowns said: "Crash? The development of science and technology is not that easy..."

"The Crash here refers to Small Accomplishment, some simple technologies, if not limited to patents, other countries think It shouldn't be difficult to imitate, right?"

"Well..." Zhang Yuan temporarily accepted this statement.

"For a civilization, the more important thing is actually the internal strength, including the human environment, political system, popular ideology, etc. These things need to be cultivated slowly, and it is basically impossible for them to be quick. "

"These internal strengths actually determine the upper limit of the development of science and technology, that is, the key research content of the new civilization history."

Zhang Yuan has always been less interested in politics, but Under the influence of various cultural courses in college, I also know a little bit.

In some countries like South America and Africa, the people’s ideology is biased towards pleasure, and they are satisfied when they are full. Under this relatively lazy ideology, it is naturally difficult for the entire country to develop and can only be used as a source of raw materials.

In the East Asian cultural circle, the people have a strong sense of worry and are willing to fight for a better tomorrow. Even for the happiness of the next generation, they can endure a little bit of hardship.

Therefore, under this kind of humanistic environment, there is a historical inevitability for these countries to come to the forefront of the world.

So, why is there a completely different humanistic environment?

"The new civilization history you are talking about should be biased towards liberal arts, right?"

"no! You are wrong, its ultimate essence is mathematics!"

"Huh?!" Zhang Yuan stared in surprise, a little unclear.

Senior Brother Zhao laughed, "...According to the viewpoint of the new civilization historiography, the inherent history of the entire civilization is divided into a large number of key nodes, and each node contains the major historical accidents that occurred at that time. The previous one The history of the occurrence of a node will have a certain impact on the latter node and the entire network."

"You can think of it as a neural network."

This idea is very Intuitively, Zhang Yuan is easy to understand.

"When the civilization Early-Stage has fewer critical nodes, the final output of the network is easily changed, that is, a single great man can have a huge impact on it."

"However, as the population base increases, information and culture increase, there are more and more network nodes, and a single genius will have less and less influence on the entire network."
