Vol 4 Chapter 1042: Technology and civilization level

Earth.
The human expeditionary fleet returned to the Earth Spaceport half a month ago. All the space soldiers, researchers, and engineers who participated in the Battle of Monoceros v838 had a long vacation, and they were long enough to grow hairs at home.
However, some people have almost no time to rest, so they start a new job.
Especially when it comes to scientific research, scientists always have an inexhaustible enthusiasm in the face of technology that has not yet been cracked by advanced civilization spacecraft.
This kind of enthusiasm for the universe, advanced technology, and future exploration and knowledge is sometimes difficult to understand.
For scientists, there is a sentence that truly expresses their knowledge of the universe.
The more you know, the more you know your ignorance.
After Fang Yuan returned to Earth, he went to visit Yang Yuping.
As expected, after Yang Yuping got rid of the shackles of his body, he really spent 24 hours a day in scientific research.
Except for [海棠书屋www.lvshuw.com] every day for dinner, a fixed ten minutes.
In those ten minutes, Yang Yuping would use the coffee machine in the machine to make a cup of coffee, put it on the table, and quietly watch the smell rising in the coffee.
In fact, he has no sense of smell, and the machine body has not yet installed the module of smell.
He has only two senses: sight and hearing.
Therefore, I can no longer drink coffee.
But he would still make a cup of coffee at dinner time, watch for ten minutes, and then continue to work.
When Fang Yuan went to see him for the first time, he picked up the coffee and said, "I will be responsible for drinking it for you in the future."
Ready to drink the coffee after you finish talking.
Yang Yuping said, "That cup is mine, I will make you another cup."
Then, I really cooked another cup.
Fang Yuan felt that the old professor still liked to be a flesh and blood person, but his flesh and blood body hindered his pursuit of science and truth.
Therefore, he abandoned his body.
Fang Yuan looked at the old professor's worksheet and found that he was in charge of more than a dozen scientific research projects at the same time.
"Why not specialize in one project? Isn't that faster?"
"It's not fast. I can't complete the scientific research project alone. I design the experimental ideas and have a team to help with the experiment. The experiment is successful, and it needs to be military. If it is arranged, it will take twenty years to digest it, which is of no use." Yang Yuping explained a little bit.
Fang Yuan understood when he thought about it.
Yang Yuping alone can work 24 hours a day, but other researchers cannot work like this.
Moreover, the process of scientific theory from laboratory to military application takes time.
Yang Yuping is mainly responsible for the research of basic theories. To apply basic theories to civilized science and technology? This process cannot be completed by one person.
Therefore, if Yang Yuping specializes in a scientific research project, the final result of the project? The time to apply it in reality will not be shortened much.
Instead of this? The solution to maximize efficiency is to be responsible for the basic theoretical research of multiple scientific research projects at the same time.
Although they are responsible for multiple scientific research projects at the same time? The scientific theories of these projects are very similar.
Among them, there are seven or eight projects in space and wormholes.
The efficiency research project of the curvature engine is related to the curvature of space.
Therefore, each scientific research project is inextricably linked.
Ding!
The clock on the table rang.
Ten minutes of coffee time is over? Yang Yuping raised the finger of his right robotic arm and said, "My coffee time is over. However, given that my work has been completed today, I can chat with you for half an hour."
"You chat with me, I thought I was chatting with you." Fang Yuan blinked his eyes.
"Who will accompany this question? From a theoretical analysis, it depends on who has work to be busy. I still have sixteen scientific research projects to carry out? In contrast, are you doing nothing right now?" Yang Yuping talked very methodically .
"It makes sense!"
Fang Yuan had to give a thumbs up? There was no flaw in this theoretical analysis.
Yang Yuping put a pair of manipulators overlapping on the table? It's a bit like the sitting posture of a pupil in class.
I don't know why? His mechanical body? There is always a very cute feeling. It may be round in shape and a little Q.
Coupled with his age, it makes people feel like an old child.
Yang Yuping didn't seem to mind talking for a while, and he was not in a hurry to work.
"Professor, what level of civilization are humans now?" Fang Yuan began to chat mode.
"Laboratory technology level: 2.5, military level: 1.9, civilian level: 1.2. Comprehensive level: 1.8." Yang Yuping gave a data.
"This...how is it calculated?" Fang Yuan didn't expect such data.
In fact.
Regarding the current human civilization level, it is very chaotic.
In terms of technology, the curvature engine has a very high level, not only does not belong to the planetary civilization, but not even the stellar civilization.
Curvature drive is the first step for a civilization to move from the star system to the broader universe.
Therefore, curvature-driven technology is the starting point for civilization to move towards the 3.0 galaxy civilization.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a planetary civilization to master curvature-driven technology.
Now, humans have overcome the curvature drive in the laboratory, so according to the level of laboratory technology, it is possible to rate 2.5.
Nor can it be rated higher, because only one technology exceeds the level of stellar civilization.
However, this is only the technological level of the laboratory, and does not represent the true level of civilization.
From a military standpoint.
The human space fleet, the key technology that can be used on a small scale, the first is the solar furnace, the second is the anti-matter bomb, and the third is the material with strong nuclear power.
Therefore, from the perspective of military level, human civilization can only reach level 1.9.
If it is rated for civilian use, it is even lower.
The reason why the civilian rating can reach 1.2 is because the civilianization of solar furnace power generation has raised the rating.
"The energy output of the solar furnace has increased thirty times compared to six years ago. The laboratory produced the first super-light-speed curvature engine. It is difficult to define the level of civilization in terms of technology, but it is still possible to rate it at 1.8." Yang Yuping Having said that, a smile appeared on his face.
"If you reach level 1.8, you have almost entered the stage of stellar civilization. According to the civilization process, should it develop to other planets?" Fang Yuan asked casually.
"According to the civilization process, this is indeed the case. However, I suggest finding a hidden terrestrial planet in the galaxy to develop a second home. You cannot put all your eggs in the basket of the solar system. This may become a battlefield in the future. "Yang Yuping replied solemnly.
The earth has been exposed to the sight of advanced civilizations, and may become the main battlefield of interstellar war at any time.
Mankind really needs a second home to preserve the fire of civilization.
