Chapter 265 (1/2)
Wang Yanke smiled and started the demonstration on the mobile phone with his brain domain ability. A series of pictures and data were ejected and displayed in front of everyone:
”Old Sir, don't you find that your so-called technology explosion is only limited to computers and the Internet?
In most fields, such as energy, aerospace, chemical engineering and biotechnology, human development in the past 40 years has not made more progress, and even our initial expectations have not been met. Take aerospace as an example, the Soviets entered space in 1961, and the Americans have landed on the moon eight years later. If you estimate according to your optimistic exponential growth , in the first few years of the 21st century, our human footsteps should have spread all over the nine planets of the solar system. What is the actual situation?
For 40 years, we have never returned to the moon.
In the aviation field, the most powerful aircraft in the current position of mankind is still the ”Concorde” in 1969. The speed of Mach 2 is still the peak of our technology. Have we made progress in 50 years? The crown of military aircraft still belongs to the ”blackbird”, and it is also the only ”double three” in human history Standard, that is, a military aircraft with an altitude of more than 30000 meters and a speed of more than Mach 3. You know, it was the first flight style in 1964
In terms of bioengineering, the last major revolutionary discovery of human biotechnology is the DNA double helix structure. This basic breakthrough appeared in 1953. How many years has it been since now? Have we developed exponentially over the past few years? From the discovery of AIDS to the present, human beings still have no way to take it.
As for the total amount of human knowledge you mentioned... Perhaps more detailed knowledge classification is indeed developing at a high speed, but the foundation of the science building is still the two foundations of relativity and quantum theory. The man named Einstein died in 1955. Since then, tens of millions of students and countless scientists around the world emerge in endlessly every year, but it is no longer comparable!
In terms of energy, we have always relied on chemical energy such as oil and natural gas, and even coal... ”
After a long pause, old Burton slowly recovered from his speechless state and asked in a low voice, ”so you mean that even if mankind recovers to the development speed before the doomsday war, it will not be possible to compete with the blood moon people in 300 years?”
”I can't judge how long this stagnation period is. Maybe a new discovery of basic science can break it in a year or two, or it can't break through if you indulge in it for thousands of years. Some leaps in human history depend on the emergence of individual elites, which no one can foresee.
That's why I will support Lin Tao's plan. We have no other way to go... ”Ke Ke nodded helplessly.
Lin Tao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly sighed: ”Lao Xu, you have forgotten the prophecy of Tianhe. Sometimes I will wake up in its cold voice, and the nightmare will not go away for a long time! Just as human civilization is cursed...”
”The prophecy of Tianhe? The bottleneck of science and technology!” Xu zhe seemed to be struck by lightning and froze in place, ”do you mean that Tianhe's prophecy has been realized?”
”Yes, you think I don't know the danger of breaking the continuity of time?” Lin Tao said with a cold smile. ”In these eight years, I am willing to be the chief of your biology department and try my best to help you achieve the great cause of the rejuvenation of civilization,
