Chapter 562 Great Industrial Power
Strong industrial capacity is the strength that everyone who truly creates strong artificial intelligence has, and it is also the technical level that a peak level 3 civilization should have. Obviously, human civilization has reached this level. Such industrial capacity is not only the basic industrial strength for building a complete version of the Dyson Sphere, but also the minimum standard for impacting level 4 civilization.
If such a particle collider can really produce a grand unified theory.
Yes, until now there are still many scientists who do not believe that the new particle collider can produce a grand unified theory, but they do not oppose the construction of this new particle collider, because humans have no choice.
Since human civilization defeated the Chiyan civilization and gathered almost 80% of the population of the Chiyan civilization, it has obtained almost all the technology of the Chiyan civilization. It can also be said that since then, humans have stood at the peak of level 3 civilization.
It was also from that time that humans officially launched an impact on the grand unified theory, the symbol of level 4 civilization. At that time, humans only had 6 billion people, but from the leadership to ordinary people, they all devoted their main energy to the exploration of the grand unified theory.
In the education industry, the Grand Unified Theory is often used to encourage students, saying that it is the holy grail of human science in the future. Whoever or which team can win this holy grail will be recorded forever in the hall of glory of human civilization. As long as human civilization exists, the glory will last forever.
The focus, research projects, and policy directions of basic science are all inclined to the research of the Grand Unified Theory. The new government has also specially introduced many relevant encouraging policies for this purpose, which can be said to be united from top to bottom.
However, the facts are not as simple as people think. Some things, even if the whole race is united, it is difficult to make substantial progress. The Grand Unified Theory is such a thing.
Finally, humans established the United Science Research Institute, combining the Chiyan civilization, the Nair research team, the Kuntai scientific team, and even some of the trained dog-headed scientific workers.
Trying to gather the smart minds of several races to find the Grand Unified Theory in countless laws from the vast universe and nature.
But the reality is cruel. The Joint Academy of Sciences has developed the silver mist-like nanorobot group "Little Gray" that humans have been dreaming about. There have been many breakthroughs in other fields of technology, but the Grand Unified Theory, the cornerstone of the fourth-level civilization, has always been elusive.
Of course, humans have not given up. Under such circumstances, human civilization has continued to explore for thousands of years, but still has no clue.
The Grand Unified Theory is like an invisible wall that blocks the path of human progress and cannot be shaken. Humans are lucky to know that there is such a wall, but after so much effort, they can't touch the wall at all.
The term technological barrier has once again become the most popular term in human society.
In fact, at the beginning, some people also proposed the plan to build a particle collider with a length of thousands of astronomical units, but humans did not have such industrial capabilities at that time until "Little Gray" was manufactured, until humans took another step forward in the field of nanotechnology, and until the strong artificial intelligence manufacturing technology was truly mature.
So Liu Miyan personally ran to find Yue Yuan to discuss this matter, because at that time, many experts believed that humans already had such industrial strength.
Of course, when the plan was approved and the engineering drawings were turned from concepts into real objects, most experts were still shocked because the project was too crazy.
Those new generation scholars were fine. The experts who had lived from the Earth era to the present were really shocked. They didn't expect to see humans doing such a big project in their lifetime.
It is not just a slogan to hollow out all the metals in the eight star systems, but it is really done. Otherwise, the material needs of the new particle collider project alone cannot be met.
What a huge project it is, which is completely unimaginable in the Earth era.
Yue Yuan often sighed like this. He is a person in the Earth era. What was the biggest project he had seen back then? It was undoubtedly the orbital mass accelerator located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Hanhai Project.
However, from today's perspective, those two world-shaking projects are only projects on the planet after all, while the new particle collider project now requires hollowing out countless planets, which is completely incomparable.
The construction time is also calculated in thousands of years. If it is placed in any country in the Earth era, it can be said to run through the entire national development history.
Without the longevity potion, it would take dozens of generations.
But even so, scientists are not sure. No one dares to guarantee that after building this new particle collider, humans will be able to find the grand unified theory.
So, this millennium project is hope, and it is also a century-long gamble. If it wins, humans will master the grand unified theory, step into the ranks of level 4 civilization, and soar into the sky. If it loses, humans may fall into the devil, fall into the confusion of scientific and technological exploration, fall into the most crazy experimental dead end, and perhaps never recover from it.
Imagine if after the new particle collider is completed, humans still can't collide with any abnormal phenomena, then at that time those scientists may not think it is the fault of the new particle collider, but that they have not done enough experiments, because they have tried other methods before.
Therefore, they will definitely try their best to grasp this hope and keep experimenting. At least this generation of scientists will not give up. If no breakthrough can be made in the long term, then mankind is likely to sink.
Because by that time, mankind will no longer have the courage to build a more powerful particle collider, and will be affected by the racial talents mentioned by the awakeners and pioneers. At that time, mankind may think that the Grand Unified Theory is an existence that the human race cannot grasp with all its wisdom.
Such a result is naturally self-evident. Human civilization will eventually stop at the third level of civilization until it disappears in the forest of cosmic civilization.
Of course, everything in the future is unknown to humans now. What human civilization has to do now is to do its best to complete this great century project.
For hundreds of years, the great industrial power is fully reflected at this moment.
The strong artificial intelligence created by humans has shown great power in the process of resource exploitation. This is the strongest industrial power in the hands of humans. Strong artificial intelligences are mining day and night on the planets they are responsible for. They have changed the color of the surface of almost every rocky planet they are responsible for. Countless armies of robots are spread across every planet, and just like what is described in the film "The Omnic Crisis", they have coated the entire planet with a metallic silver glow.
