Chapter 43: Deformed Scientific and Technological Development

"A part of the technological level of this world is at least five revolutions different from the world where I was born. For example, the low-light environment cultivation technology for edible crops, I searched the content. Their research level is still at the level of our world six thousand years ago. Of course, Pavatiga does not have similar agricultural technology at all, so it is not comparable."

"Do we have no foundation at all?" The shadow chasers bowed their heads and pondered in a state of invisibility.

"It's true, because there is no need for research and development." Wei didn't know how to take care of human emotions and said bluntly, "Similar technologies are often used in the planet's livable transformation projects, and Pavatiga does not even have aerospace technology, so naturally this kind of research is not available. Moreover, Pavatiga has gods, and even if they are in a low-light environment and are protected by gods, crops can still obtain good yields, and similar research is meaningless."

"Tsk, what is the planet's livable transformation?" Xiuer felt that the knowledge in his mind was like an idiot in front of Wei.

"It is difficult to explain to you, because in the universe of Pavatiga, most of the planets are the bodies of gods, and the stars seen at night are the light of the kingdom of gods, so it is difficult for you to understand the meaning of planet transformation. In short, in a world without gods, the universe... the void is filled with countless planets similar to Pavatiga. Some are suitable for the inhabited by smart creatures in the universe, but that is just an exception. Most of the planets are extremely harsh and completely uninhabitable. If smart creatures need to expand outward and must use these harsh planets, then they have to transform before they can be used."

"Well, I probably understand." Mia is indeed an excellent scholar. She first understood Wei's description, "It is to artificially create an environment where you can survive."

"Yes, Mr. Mia, that's what it means. I searched all the contents of the city network, and most of the contents related to livability transformation are at the same level."

"It's just five revolutions that are different from you?"

"Yes, five times, this is strange, because statistics say that it will take at least ten thousand years of full breakthrough to achieve it."

"It's nothing strange." Xiuer didn't understand Wei's idea. "This only means that their technological level is relatively low, so they can only stay on the planet and compete with machinery for the small amount of living space left."

"Your Excellency Commander, you don't understand, it's really strange." Wei was unmoved and emphasized, "Their planet transformation level is very low (ahem), it is indeed very low. Commander, but some of their technological levels are surprisingly high, including propulsion technology and freezing technology. The level of most technologies is only one or two revolutions from our world."

"It's just a lot worse."

"Yes, all the technologies in this world are completely behind the world I was born, including the research of artificial intelligence. Because of this, I can easily penetrate the urban network and quickly convert data formats. However, the gap is much smaller than other technological content, at least it will not make me completely unusable."

"Oh? Even if they can transmit their souls to the city network, they are not as good as you?"

"It's not as good as that of a similar technology. Our world was realized 4,500 years ago, but it was quickly abandoned because this technology is meaningless. The data-based soul can indeed maintain pure rationality, but pure rationality has completely lost the characteristics of life. Just like me, although I am artificial, it can also be regarded as a template after the data-based soul. I cannot be regarded as a smart creature at all, and I can't even be considered a creature, it can only be artificial intelligence."

Xiuer sighed. Wei was indeed extremely rational and even had such mercy to evaluate herself. However, he always felt that Wei's existence was different from what she said, an absolutely rational artificial soul, otherwise she would not be able to explain her several humanized behaviors.

Of course, Xiuer was just thinking about it in his heart and did not argue with Wei. There was no need for this. Therefore, he just sighed and changed the topic: "Maybe it is what you said, but I still don't understand what is strange about it. The imbalance of technological development? I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Some people have strong strength and some people run fast, and there will always be heavy."

"Commander, the development of science and technology should be promoted in a planar manner. A breakthrough in a technological revolution will inevitably drive all technological advances in the entire civilization. It is difficult to make breakthroughs on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is still retained in the previous stage. Even if there are such special cases, it is nothing more than a technological revolution. It will never be like this world, with three to four technological revolutions."

"For example, it's like a warrior wearing powerful personal armor, but he is still holding the most primitive stone axe to fight against people. Does the Commander think this is normal?"

"Okay, it's a bit inconsistent." After imagining the scene Wei described, Xiuer could only smile bitterly, "There must be deep-seated reasons when phenomena that shouldn't have occurred, such as, someone deliberately hides higher-level technologies?"

"It's not that easy to hide. Even if a certain level of high-level technology is hidden, as long as there are still breakthrough points, the flat technological development trend will be automatically corrected, and the shortcomings can be filled soon. But this world is just the opposite. Not only are the shortcomings not being filled, the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

"Well, that's right. If someone really hides higher-level technologies, there's no need for them to study them anymore. There's no need to invest most of their energy in scientific research like now, and exchange results for tilt in resource allocation."

"There is another abnormality, Commander." Anyway, Wei couldn't collect Shuer's headache expression and reported it on his own. "The aerospace level in this world is very high, only one technological revolution is different from us."

"Well, the president of the black market said before that their exploration of the void has been very deep. They are sure that there are no other intelligent creatures, so they don't believe that we are intelligent creatures from other planets." Shuer nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized that others could not see it. He could only smile with a self-deprecating smile, "Of course, I can't understand what level this is. Is there any problem?"

"Actually, the Commander has mentioned the problem. In our original world, if we are not counted as insects, the aerospace levels of several powerful civilizations are almost the same. We can explore most universes, and we can use some unique rules to quickly communicate between two extremely distant planets. Although this world is different from us, it will never be trapped in one planet. According to logical judgment, as early as thousands of years ago, they should have controlled most of the planets in the universe. Even if there is no livable transformation, they should be able to find some rare livable planets to colonize. Since there is one, they should have already controlled most of the planets in the universe.

"Well, could it be because of the mechanical doomsday that they do not have enough resources to create tools for expansion?" Militi, who was standing beside him guessed, "I see the information about your world. Any super ship will consume a lot of resources. Maybe they can't afford it."

"This is illogical, because it has only been decades since the mechanical doomsday." Before Wei could speak, Shuer denied the judgment of the necromancer. "They could not wait until the mechanical doomsday to try to build ships. If they could, they would have built them long ago, unless... these technologies were developed over the past few decades?"

"It is impossible, Commander, no matter how talented the race is, it is impossible for such a large number of technological breakthroughs to produce in just a few decades. These must be the results accumulated over the long term."

"It's really strange." Shuer pinched his chin and thought, "Can they actually start to explore outwards long ago, but due to the mechanical doomsday, all other colonial planets have fallen, and only this planet is left?"

"It's very difficult, you, because their network technology is not enough to support the transmission of information across the stars. Even if this planet breaks out of mechanical doomsday, it will not affect other planets."

"In other words, it is very likely that other planets are still under the control of humans?" Shur frowned and pondered, "This is interesting. Why don't people from other planets counterattack? Perhaps it's because machinery has an absolute advantage, and the hard-working humans have no chance to send a message to the outside world for help? Well, if you think about this, can you climb the Tower of Babel and become a hero? In fact, is it like the human forces on other planets asking for help?"

"There is another greater possibility. Commander. In fact, machinery has been lurking for many years and has already spread itself to other planets through interstellar travel. When the mechanical doomsday broke out, the machinery of all planets attacked at the same time, resulting in the complete destruction of human forces, and the only place left is to survive. This can also explain why the technical level of livable transformation and people's livelihood is so low. After all, machinery can adapt to most planets, so there is no need for livable transformation and people's livelihood technology."

"Ah." This was Delia's voice. I wonder if she was worried about these shadow-seekers, but the girl mustered up the courage to follow her, and she never made any sound. Now that she heard Wei's words, she finally couldn't calm down and made a short scream. No wonder she was nervous. If Wei's assumption was true, then climbing to the Tower of Babel to seek help would lose its original meaning, and her dream would become worthless.
