Chapter 16 The Big Bang of Technology in 'The Three-Body Problem'(1/2)

The terrain of the Central Plains is generally high in the north and low in the south. However, in this corner of Tongguan, Shaanxi, the one that is high in the south and low in the north is low in the north.

Looking southwest from Tongguan, I saw mountains on the south side, and I don’t know how deep it was. This mountain range that runs across the east and west, is the world-famous Qinling Mountains.

Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty said in the Shu Road: "You are 48,000 years old and will not be connected with the Qin Pass." This is about the steep and majestic Qinling Mountains.

The Mount Kou that Mo Jiu and others fled to was actually part of the Qinling Mountains.

They immediately tied three torches on one horse, and they were like lighthouses in the darkness, which really attracted all the pursuers from Tongguan behind them.

The higher they walked, the higher the mountain was. The cavalry was on the plain, but it was not as convenient as the infantry to climb the mountain. In addition, they had been delayed for a while at the entrance of the gourd on the path before, which made the torches of the pursuers behind get closer and closer to their team.

When the Han army saw the pursuit approaching, they all looked panicked. But Mo Jiu was not in a hurry.

They walked in the mountains for a while. Seeing that Duoduo's troops were already far away, Mo Jiu simply stopped the horse, turned over and got off the horse's back, and tied the horse to a small tree next to the road.

Some of the relatives who had been with Mo Jiu for a day saw Mo Jiu stop and heard Xian know the elegance, they probably guessed Mo Jiu's plan. They were tacit with each other, smiled at each other, and then dismounted one after another, tacitly tied the horses on the side of the road.

As expected, Mo Jiu took the lead in taking off his clothes, and ordered other Han soldiers to follow suit and quickly unload their armor.

This time, because the pursuit of the troops was still far away, there was enough time. Mo Jiutuo was particularly delicate. Later, he showed off his skills in training internal affairs in the military camp and directed everyone to carefully fold the armor.

Youdao makes perfect. After practicing, Mo Jiu took off three times in the battle formation on this day. Now he has experienced it. At this time, he not only took off beautifully and cleanly, but also arranged everyone in an orderly manner.

The battle skirt must be placed at the bottom. The armor needs to be stacked on the battle skirt and the four sides must be neatly pressed. If it is a leather helmet, it can be placed on the top of the armor, but if it is a copper helmet or an iron helmet, it will be erected on the left side of the armor.

The boots should also be taken off and placed on the lower end of the armor. If there is a ring, it must be taken off and carefully wrapped in the armor tape, and then put it in the boots together.

The so-called details determine success or failure. Mo Jiushen agrees with it. If he hadn't been meticulous in the past and had no time to do things, how could he get the love of King Huaishun with his thin body?

Mo Jiu specifically instructed the strap to be half hanging in the boots and half hanging outside the boots. To be unified, eye-catching and neat.

He told this because he observed that these heroes were impatient when snatching equipment. If they were too anxious when wearing boots and accidentally got their feet hit by the fingers in the tape, it would be unbeautiful.

Of course this is not flattery, but his attitude of Mo Jiu respecting the heroes.

Because he was wearing Duoduo's Prince's armor, it was difficult to mix with everyone's armor. So Mo Jiu specially found a small tree and hung the armor neatly on the tree.

The golden helmet given to Mo Jiu was hollowed out with the two dragons. The helmet of the golden flame gem was very high, and the cherry helmet made of mink fur was also very conspicuous. Mo Jiu hung the golden helmet at the highest point of the branch of the small tree, and inserted a few more torches in the snow next to the small tree, which made the Prince Ar's stomach clear and visible from a distance.

After doing all this, Mo Jiu felt something was missing. After thinking about it, he broke a dead branch by the road and wrote a line of big words on the snow:

"Old Xu Mojiu of the Qing Dynasty presented the armor and equipment of the general of Tongguan. Please save it."

The so-called "people leave their reputations, and geese leave their voices" after all. After all, Mo Jiu was busy taking off his clothes and delivering equipment all day long. Now he has taken off three times. He dare not say how hard he worked, at least half of the baggage brigade. Even if he did not think about repaying kindness in the future, if he could leave a little impression on the other general, it would be good to make a good relationship.

Due to his physical condition, Mo Jiu's martial arts skills are not as good as he can, so he thought about putting more effort into other places.

In my early years, I learned to write with the books under King Huaishun. It was also a skill. Today, I realized that things were done well and with a full heart, I wrote like a divine help. These words were written particularly beautifully.

Because the pursuers in the distance were still far away, Mo Jiu was not in a hurry and turned around the handwriting on the snow for a few more times. Suddenly, he felt that the two words "Da Qing" were quite eye-catching. So he grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and spread it on the two words "Da Qing". He picked up the dead branches as his pen and changed the two words "Da Qing" to the one "Han".

It became the words "Han Lao Mojiu gave the armor and equipment of the general Tongguan to save it."

Mo Jiu read it twice and felt that the word was changed to be really wonderful! It fully demonstrated his sincere desire to serve the country. He changed from the conflict between the enemy and us between China and the barbarians to internal conflicts between the Han army. If he was an enemy general, he would probably be moved by his moral integrity and integrity in the Qing camp.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Jiu ordered everyone to insert all the torches into place, and walked in the dark with the team, leaving the place along the mountain road.

Not long after, the pursuers from Tongguan arrived. One by one, they were dressed in strange clothes, and they were the people dressed in the group of heroes in Tongguan City.

The man who rushed in front had a square face and a beard, and had a mighty appearance. If Mo Jiu was still there, he would have recognized that this man was the man who stepped on Geng Zhongming's sword a few hours ago, and was about to get the treasure in his hand. But he was squeezed away and lost the sword by a slight difference.

At this time, under the reflection of the torch, the equipment on the ground emitted a dazzling light. Everyone was dazzled by the equipment in front of them, and they didn't know which one they should grab first.

But this bearded man had the best eyesight and was not moved by the equipment under his feet. He stared at the prince's armor hanging on a small tree in the distance.

Before others could react, the bearded man took two steps quickly and rushed to the small tree. He first raised his hand and picked up his armor and put it on his body, then reached for the golden helmet on the branch.

The small tree where Mo Jiu hangs his helmet, in order to be conspicuous, Mo Jiu specially picked the golden helmet at the highest place on the branch.

At this time, the bearded man was afraid that others would come to grab the robbery, so he was a little impatient when he reached out to reach the golden helmet. In winter, the branches with the golden helmet seemed thick, but in fact, there was already water loss in the trunk. At this time, the bearded man pulled him and broke with a "bang".

If it was summer, there might be no problem. But it was winter at this time, and snow was everywhere in the mountains. Although the bearded man pulled his golden helmet into his arms, he was also staggered by the broken dead branches. He wanted to step on a few steps and stood firm, but unexpectedly the snow under his feet slipped and his whole body rushed out of the cliff.

The man was digging his hands and feet in the air, as if he wanted to catch something, but unfortunately there was nothing to climb around him. He fell into the darkness under the cliff in an instant.

The heroes behind saw the bearded man rushing down from the cliff, and didn't know why he was stunned for a while, and then they rushed to grab the equipment on the ground.

As for whom these equipment belongs to, they all rely on their own to be quick-witted and bully the weak. The heroes inevitably fought again. After a while, blood was left in the snow, so I won’t describe them in detail here...

......

The real plane of the world

Kzhou, Binjiang New City Community, a player named Xiong Yuanba saw the bearded man he was manipulating in the game falling from the cliff and screamed.

Yes, these weirdly dressed heroes who appeared in Tongguan City in 1645 AD were a group of console gamers from the future world.

This plane is actually similar to the familiar reality, neither Gundam nor Cyberpunk.

Just a few years ago, scammers selling fake U disks joined forces with vendors who sold inferior mobile phone power banks to fight with new things such as shared power banks and cloud disk storage at the entrance of the train station, and they were bleeding from each other and struggling to gain their final market share.

However, as stated in "The Three-Body Problem", the earth suddenly ushered in a wave of technological explosions. The wide range of involvement and profound impact of this technological explosion are enough to be recorded in history.

At the beginning, this technological explosion was only triggered by the birth of two new technologies.

Let’s talk about the first technology: “The research and development of home quantum computers is successful.”

Just a few years ago, when people were still worrying about the fact that mobile phone memory would never be enough, and they would delete apps from their mobile phones every day to save some space. The household use of quantum computers became popular.

The most obvious thing about this new technology is the qualitative change in the storage capacity of electronic devices.

It turns out that the smallest storage unit common in computers is bytes, and one byte is equal to 1024byte. The invention of quantum computers uses the principle of quantum superposition state, and only requires 50byte space to achieve the storage capacity of national computer groups in superpowers in previous years.

What is this? It turns out that the 1t hard disk at home can reach the hard disk space of 21990232555 national computer groups on quantum computers. (Note 1)

Moreover, it is not only storage capacity, but also its computing power is also a geometric increase like astronomical numbers. It turns out that the world's most powerful computer needs to take ten thousand years to calculate the results. Now even household quantum PCs can be calculated in a few minutes.

In other words, at this time, PC computing power and storage power can be regarded as infinite growth in civil use.

The first bonus brought by quantum computer technology is the leapfrog development of artificial intelligence. In fact, a few years ago, simple artificial intelligence had appeared on various mobile phone platforms and smart speakers.

Although the artificial intelligence at that time could not fully simulate human dialogue, it could also provide some basic question-and-answer questions and answers. Some boring people could even chat with Xiao Ai and Xiaodu for an afternoon. Although artificial intelligence often has no prefaces, it has at least achieved human-computer voice interaction to a certain extent.

The way it operates is to continuously collect big data of human dialogue through the Internet, and then the main program then filters and integrates these big data to upgrade and evolve AI.

What restricts the development of artificial intelligence depends on the computing speed and storage space. When the quantum computer technology was successfully developed, artificial intelligence quickly upgraded with the support of billions of people's big data. It was almost nothing to do, and as a 15-year-old human, it had a probability of more than 80%.

The second technology that caused the earth's technology to explode is the "implementation of virtual reality equipment behind the head".

In fact, as early as 2019, brain-computer interface research and development company Neuralink developed the first generation of brain-computer interface products. Of course, at that time, it could only simply perceive and interact with some basic brain waves.

However, with the development of quantum computers, the technology of intubation behind the head has been further improved. With the almost endless computing power of quantum computers, the intubation behind the head can simulate reality indefinitely. Just as shown in the movie "The Matrix", sometimes there is no way to distinguish between the real and the virtual world.

However, this technology still has certain flaws, that is, the brain's own protection mechanism, which does not allow people to use virtual devices for a long time.

In natural evolution, the human body has many its own protection mechanisms, such as fever is to kill bacteria, vomiting is to spit out unclean food, tremor is to stimulate the burning of fat and quickly increase calories, etc.

Some of these human body protection mechanisms still play a good role today, but some seem out of place with the advancement of technology. For example: motion sickness, 3D game.

The scenery seen in human eyes is moving rapidly, but the body itself is always still. Such contradictions cause logical confusion in the brain, and dizziness begins.

The same is true for virtual reality technology. Once used for more than two hours, the brain will experience invasive recognition errors and become congested. If used forcibly, irreversible damage may occur.

The solution is also very simple, which is to use the virtual device for two hours and take a few hours of rest. Just give the brain sufficient buffering time.

Therefore, the current law stipulates that hardware production regulations for virtual equipment manufacturers to use it for two consecutive hours must be forced to shut down for eight hours.

Of course, over time, either technological innovation or the evolution of human constitution itself may eliminate this protection mechanism of the human body, but obviously that will happen a long time later.

Moreover, as far as humans themselves are concerned, they have also discussed in-depth and even philosophical discussions after the intubation device is mature.

After all, all human physiological needs can be met through intubation of the back of the brain. If hormones are needed, hormones are released, dopamine is released. In the virtual world, everything that cannot be obtained in the real world can be obtained.

If the back of the brain intubation technology does not have the time limit for login, I am afraid that human society will enter a stagnation stage. It will be catastrophic consequences for the survival and evolution of the entire human race.

Of course, philosophers are naturally worried about philosophical matters. Ordinary people are actually only concerned about the matter of food, rice, oil and salt. Whether pork prices have risen or not, is there a great deal on online shopping for Double 11 this year? These are much more important than breakthroughs in theoretical physics and the research and development of quantum computers.

The technological explosion will naturally bring about social changes, but they will develop slowly rather than overnight. After all, technology requires step by step accumulation and development.

Although computer technology has made great progress, other cutting-edge disciplines such as materials science, nuclear fusion, biological genes, and theoretical physics have not changed much.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, although the media talks about quantum computers, virtual reality and other things all day long, it seems no different in their opinion. It’s just that the computer speed is a little faster, and new electronic games with intubation behind the head are more likely to cheat money or something.

There are not many changes in society. The subway is as crowded as the subway. The school district house is as expensive as the soy milk and fried dough sticks at the door are still rising every day. The little girl who sells tea on WeChat is still tirelessly asking you to sponsor her entrepreneurial journey.

Of course, the industry impact brought by new technologies is still very significant, and the biggest change is the collapse and reconstruction of the game industry order throughout the world.

Due to the popularization of back-brain intubation technology, brain-sensory immersive games quickly occupied the game market. All previous console games were completely shuffled.

In fact, this is reasonable. After all, if you can have a real sense of the person, it will be much more fun than manipulating villains through the screen. At least in terms of sense of substitution, traditional console games cannot be compared with brain-sensing immersion games.

However, there is nothing absolute in the world. Although traditional console games have fallen rapidly, many players are still obsessed with console games. Just like players will never forget Tetris and "Beans", there is a kind of love called sentiment.

The player "Xiong Yuanba" is a loyal fan of the Nostalgic Host Party.

Although there is a big reason why Xiong Yuanba cannot afford the latest virtual immersion equipment and games for back endothelial intubation due to some economic reasons. But it is undeniable that Xiong Yuanba is indeed a very emotional person.

Today, Xiong Yuanba was attracted by an advertisement popped up in the lower right corner of the computer:
