"Comparison is the source of human progress, but when it overflows it becomes jealousy.

In the same way, reproduction and love are also human instincts that continue to exist, and when they become rampant, they become lust.

Every human nature has allowed mankind to reach this point. No matter which one is missing, human beings may have perished in history long ago, or they may not be able to reach this point and develop today's human civilization.

So for today's humans, developing technology and making human progress is an important aspect, but the ideological aspect also needs to be paid attention to, because changes in thinking can sometimes cause huge consequences," Chu Li said.

Shi Qiang strongly agreed: "Ideological construction is very important. We used to have ideological education classes in the army."

When Chu Li saw Wang Miao lost in thought, he said: "In fact, for humans, any overflow of emotions will lead to devastating results, and humans are actually very easy to be induced."

He remembered the original work on The Three-Body Problem.

In the later stage of Trisolaris, the Great Holy Mother Cheng Xin became the sword bearer, which resulted in the destruction of human civilization by Trisolaris civilization.

In fact, in Chu Li's opinion, this is also a consequence of the overflow of human emotions.

Cheng Xin would do all kinds of things that would be unbelievable in the eyes of ordinary humans.

Empathy is an emotion that humans have had since birth.

With empathy, people have sympathy, which is also an emotion necessary for humans to form a society.

Without empathy, perhaps human beings would still be creatures that feed on hair and drink blood.

It's a pity that Cheng Xin's actions eventually led to the destruction of mankind.

Human beings gathered together because of empathy and became the first human civilization, but they were destroyed because of overflowing empathy.

"Actually, another topic I'm currently researching is how to give humans special functions. This has something to do with the philosophical issues of human development to the present." Chu Li revealed part of his plan.

For humans, no matter how they develop science and technology, they are still far behind compared with higher-level civilizations in the universe.

How they can catch up with these civilizations quickly is not just about catching up in technology.

It is about having the power to resist when facing these civilizations.

Chu Li felt that it was necessary to conduct some research on superpowers on earth.

And because of the special nature of the Three-Body World, Chu Li found that the Taixu Sword Qi he had studied before was difficult to cultivate in this world. Not to mention the Taixu Sword Qi, even martial arts and Taoist scriptures were difficult to cultivate.

Fame.

In this world, the only thing that can truly demonstrate all of one's strengths perfectly is the light of the soul.

Therefore, Chu Li's research is actually related to the light of the soul, and in a special world like the Three-Body Problem, Chu Li's research may also be related to the path he takes in the future.

After all, in a completely material world like the Three-Body Problem, there is not much to be found in an infinitely terrifying worldview.

"Really?" Before Wang Miao could speak, Shi Qiang next to him asked with interest.

"Absolutely. In fact, don't underestimate human intelligence. Human beings can possess the current high-level intelligence and consciousness. It is actually a miracle. Once such a miracle is unleashed, it will explode with unprecedented power.

"Chu Li said.

Wang Miao thought for a while and said: "Human consciousness is indeed a miracle. The human brain is far more complex than any technological creation or any computer invented by humans today, even if humans can now use computers.

We can simulate the neural responses of all neuron units in a human brain when they are active, but there is no way to simulate a human consciousness through a computer, nor can we deduce the rules of human consciousness. Maybe humans really have souls?"

The technology of Trisolaran World is far more advanced than that of the real world in 2023, such as the flying blade materials of Trisolaran World, or the V device.

As for scientific and technological research on using computers to simulate human brain neurons, Trisolaris has also tried it a long time ago, but there have been no results yet.

"That's it for today! By the way, Professor Wang Miao, we will discuss the research on flying blade materials in detail in the laboratory in a few days." Chu Li said to the two people.

Afterwards, Chu Li said goodbye and left.

Wang Miao and Shi Qiang, who had almost recovered, also left separately, each having their own "business" to do.

An hour later, at Huaxin Bookstore, Wang Miao, who was holding a stack of philosophy books, saw Shi Qiang at the checkout counter, who had just walked in. The two met and exchanged awkward smiles.

Chu Li returned to the research institute. Now that Wang Miao has returned to normal and has officially become an undercover agent, Chu Li can start taking action as long as he gets information about the Trisolaran world from the scientific boundary.

There will be no surprises here.

Although Chu Li and the rest of the Zhongzhou team are basically under Sophon's surveillance.

However, the Trisolaran people will not change their attitude towards the boundaries of science, or the Earth's Trisolaran organization.

For Trisolarans, earthlings who can lie and have opaque thinking are too dangerous, especially if there are still people in the Earths Trisolaran organization who clearly know the laws of the dark forest, then Earth humans will also have the means to destroy Trisolarans.

way.

The best way the Trisolarans can think of is to destroy the Earth's Trisolaran organization through human beings themselves.

Therefore, even if a superpower from Institute 501 suddenly appears that can greatly improve the level of human science and technology, and even possess special functions that the Trisolarans cannot understand, this cannot change the Trisolarans' determination to destroy ETO.

After ETO was destroyed, the Trisolaris discovered that Luo Ji might have understood the laws of the dark forest, and turned around and asked the remaining ETO members to assassinate Luo Ji.

"Chu Xuan, how have you observed the level of technology on Trisolaris Earth?" Chu Li asked using a mental link.

The civilization of the earth in Trisolaris is much stronger than that of the real world. Although the civilization levels of the two seem to be very similar on the surface, we can inadvertently see the existence of many black technologies on the earth of Trisolaris.

Chu Xuan's previous purpose was to explore and study the Trisolaran world, what black technologies have been completed, or are about to be completed, and then make a complete plan for the development of human civilization.

"After investigation, if earth civilization wants to enter the universe, it can be done. If the space elevator cable does not use flying blade materials, there are actually some substitutes, and the efficiency is definitely not as good as flying blades.

At the same time, if all countries around the world work together, they can also build a spacecraft that can sail within the solar system, but that’s all." Chu Xuan said.

In fact, after Sophon came to Earth, humankind's basic technology could no longer be improved.

But hundreds of years later, humans still built many space fleets.

It's just that such a space fleet appears so vulnerable after encountering water droplets produced by higher-level civilizations.

Because basic technology cannot be developed, humans do not know the most fundamental secrets of the microscopic world, and cannot synthesize materials similar to water droplets.

"Make a plan and develop some applied technologies before we have a complete showdown with the Trisolarans!" Chu Li said.

"Okay." Chu Xuan said.

This time in the reincarnation of the world, the Zhongzhou team acted more cautiously. For the Zhongzhou team, the Trisolaran world is a more dangerous world, even far more dangerous than any world they have ever experienced.

Even the power possessed by Zheng Zha and Chu Li seemed so small and powerless in front of those terrifying high technologies.

But this world also has the greatest opportunity. Once the Zhongzhou Team obtains most of the technological knowledge in this world, the Zhongzhou Team's strength will also be greatly improved.

"By the way, Chu Xuan, don't move yet!" Chu Li remembered something and asked Chu Xuan to stop his activities.

Chu Li himself used the method of conquering people's hearts.

After a few minutes passed, Chu Li shook his head lightly and said, "That's enough. It seems that I can't get the biggest treasure in the world through cheating."

When Chu Li said these words, Chu Xuan thought for a moment and then said: "It seems that you just wanted to try again and use the method of winning people's hearts to seize the knowledge possessed by others, but did you just fail?"

Chu Li responded: "Yes, the knowledge a person possesses can actually be regarded as an ability. And usually I can gain this ability at the same time by copying and seizing other people's abilities and even the light of the soul through the method of overcoming people's hearts."

The 'knowledge' we possess, but I don't know why. If we directly steal this knowledge, we will fail."

Chu Li used to obtain other people's abilities through the method of overcoming people's minds. For example, he obtained the special abilities possessed by Chu Xuan, the psychiatrist and hypnotist. He also directly obtained the knowledge needed to use these special abilities.

Without this knowledge, Chu Li would have to slowly try to understand and use the abilities he obtained.

But in fact, all of Chu Li's copied abilities can be used directly. This also proves that his copy is not just about copying abilities, but also the knowledge of abilities and even the necessary conditions for using abilities.

Out.

"It's not surprising that although most of your techniques to conquer people's hearts are combinations of techniques that you have redeemed from the Lord God, or you have learned them yourself, a considerable part of them are actually the light of your soul.

The power born from the depths of your heart, in fact, you cannot fully control the use of this power." Chu Xuan said.

Chu Li did not continue to discuss this topic. What Chu Xuan said was true.

Moreover, the light of his own soul is indeed very mysterious, and he still cannot fully grasp it.

Or then again, who can fully control the light of their own soul?

What's more, Chu Li's method of overcoming people's hearts, because it combines the essence of the three mental methods of Holy Dragon, Dragon Creation, and Dragon Raising, as well as the bonuses of other magical powers and secrets that he exchanged, is far more mastery than other spiritual methods.

Light is more difficult.

In the next few days, Chu Li came to Wang Miao's laboratory.

Here, Wang Miao has been playing games for two or three days.

It's no other game, it's the Three-Body Game.

"Director Chu, you are here. Professor Wang is playing games. Just wait for him to come out." Shi Qiang saw Chu Li and immediately asked him to sit down and rest. Chu Li looked at Wang Miao with the V device.

Running around constantly, he communicated with characters in the game, some of whom were NPCs and some of whom were players.

It seems that he still hasn't figured out what the three-body game actually means.

Not long after, Wang Miao took off the V device. He failed in the game and failed to explore the truth about the Trisolaran civilization and the Stellar Era.

Then he noticed Chu Li, and Wang Miao immediately said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Director Chu, I was just now..."

He originally wanted to explain that this game was given to him by Shen Yufei, and that he might be able to discover the truth about the so-called boundaries of science from the game, but he hasn't discovered anything yet. He just feels that the details of this game are somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, Chu Li has known about this game for a long time, but he has never played it. He said: "Is this the game you reported before? Are there more V devices? I want to give it a try."

"Okay!" Shi Qiang stood up immediately. He had been prepared.
