This historic meeting ended in this way, without too much discussion, and people slowly left in silence.

The emergence of the "Great Filter" is too shocking, with the extinction of a powerful civilization, to reveal to the world as much as possible.

Yes, it is in front of you, and it can be completely touched by its coldness.

Even if humans know, so what?

I know, what can I do?

Yu Yifeng left the meeting with a frown, his mood was dark and low, and he could not even hear what the people around him were discussing.

Controlled nuclear fusion, which the Knicks civilization has not solved in the end, is a huge problem that mankind is about to face.

Humans will have to contend with it...

Going through this hurdle is really a question.

On the surface, the "big filter" is the scientific and technological barrier formed by the ultra-high difficulty of "controllable nuclear fusion technology".

Without the enormous energy provided by nuclear fusion, the sea of stars is an empty phrase.

If the vast majority of civilizations have not even invented "controllable nuclear fusion", what about the interstellar civilization?Interstellar civilization is so rare.

I can only say... a dark, hopeless future.

Controlled nuclear fusion, because it is too simplistic in theory, directly tempts almost all low-level civilizations to the same wrong path of ‘magnetic restraint’.This trap kills the confidence and patience of every civilization in it.”

“Or ... the road is not incorrect, but it is too difficult to get to an incredible and unimaginable point where you can’t see the end.”

The wise men of the Knicks civilization did not, in the end, completely deny this path.

According to this principle, even if the difficulty is higher, "magnetic constraint" does not mean that it is not feasible, it still has a certain feasibility, but the difficulty is outrageous.

“If a civilization has enough time, it can keep making progress.After the technology has accumulated to a high enough level, it can still get the "controllable nuclear fusion technology" out!"

“Yes, theoretically possible.”

It is just that the bad luck of the Knicks civilization is a geothermal civilization, and their population explodes uncontrollably in the face of insufficient sustainable energy.So when nuclear energy ran out, they fell into a doomsday state.

“But... what if it’s a light-like civilization?”Yu Yi Feng frowned and thought, deduing this situation.

For example, the earth.

Even if the earth runs out of fossil energy, will humans despair to fall into a state of the end?

No, because the earth has endless solar energy, at least to live, not a life or death crisis.

The energy of solar radiation is huge, and the total solar power reaching the earth's surface is 1.7*10^17 watts, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of times the electricity consumption of the world!

Almost all wind, water, and fossil fuels should be essentially solar.

Therefore, even if the earth people use up fossil fuels, only solar energy will not fall into a state of despair, at most inconvenient, recession.According to the population size of the earth before the destruction, even if the fossils can be used up, they can barely survive.

If this is the case, the earth has an almost unlimited development time.

According to scientists, most civilizations in the universe should belong to light-like civilizations like Earth!Most civilizations, as long as they do not die, can develop steadily for a long time.

But... it is so quiet in the universe, which is also a fact.

That is to say, these light-type civilizations with almost unlimited development time are still blocked under "controllable nuclear fusion"!

It can only be attributed to civilization itself!

"The first possibility is that after the fossil energy is used up, the earth civilization is caught in war because of the recession.In particular, the time when fossil energy is about to run out and has not been used up... is particularly dangerous!”

The second possibility, because of the existence of certain internal causes, civilization does not progress indefinitely.Their technology has come to a certain level of stagnation.”

Yu Yifeng laughed at himself: "In the later period, after the recession, civilization will barely live, how to develop high-tech?"

From the course of the development of the Knicks civilization, it is already possible to peep leopards... Many of their technologies have almost stagnated in the later period, and only a small part of them have developed.This is actually a social problem.

“It’s hopeless, and sometimes ignorance is a good thing...” Yu Yifeng thought silently.When he transitioned from a tech problem to a social problem, he felt a deep sense of desperation.

However, these social problems are not the ultimate essence.

If this social problem, which most civilizations will encounter, has a creepy identity, then there must be a deeper reason.

That is to say, what he and Lily have discussed, there are some problems with the "essential philosophical system" that makes up the genes of life.

It needs to be traced back to the essential philosophical question of “why life lives.”

Yu Yifeng believes that this is the final explanation, which is the best explanation for the "big filter".

Because of genetic problems, after civilization has developed to a certain height, they have fallen into the trap of "happiness", "easy" and "capital", and have lost their motivation to move forward.

Not just the Knicks, it’s... the vast majority of civilizations in the universe!

He sighed again, and at this moment, the joy of acquiring Knicks technology was gone, and there was only a thick sadness in his heart.

Like a white mist, eyes were covered.

Not only the sad tragedy of the Knicks civilization, but also worried about the ultimate fate of the new human civilization, and even sad the vast majority of civilizations... even are plagued by the same problem!

The baton has been passed on to the hands of a new human civilization.

If the new human civilization cannot produce nuclear fusion, human beings will remain on this dark-shrodened planet until...

Yes, although there is a lot of methane left here, there is also a lot of oxygen, and humans do not need to worry about energy for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years.

But... the Knicks once had a hundred thousand years of energy!

That’s how they... perished!

Being smart is not just about the top.

A long-lost sense of despair hangs over Noah's society, and almost all scientists are tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep.

The Great Filter is so desperate that even knowing its truth is insurmountable and difficult to get around.

It is there, unbiased and insurmountable; it is a great mountain across the universe, blocking the way of countless civilizations.

It is a long night, it is difficult to sleep, it is difficult to sleep.

The long night is the eternity of the universe.

Professor Ding Yidong sat up from the bed in the middle of the night, suddenly ran outside to cry with a headache, tears dripping from his eyes.This crazy giant of science has never been so fragile.

Dr. Rimbold leaned on the bed and kept wiping his tears.Her wife was quietly comforted, but did not know what was happening...

Dr. Felix worked non-stop in front of the computer.The screen gradually blurred, and he struggled to wipe his eyes and continue to work.

The power of the individual, which appears so weak in front of this mountain, is like a worm shaking the mountain, and even the first step of this mountain cannot be climbed.

Only the strength of the whole civilization can fight the mountain!

Yu Yifeng got up from the bed, and he was going to go for a walk.
