There are often many factors that limit the continuous progress and development of human science and technology, but the three most important points cannot be avoided.

First, technical barriers.

This type of technical barrier does not simply mean that a certain material or subject has reached its limit and cannot be broken through without the help of foreign objects.

Rather, it means that its vast prerequisite knowledge has become unbearable for humans, making it impossible to conduct more in-depth research.

Here is a very simple example: If civilization returns to the present Stone Age in the depression, then only a hundred diligent and smart people will be needed to promote the advancement of civilization's technology and productivity.

These one hundred people only need to learn how to make stone tools, how to build houses, and how to hunt, and then they can make updates based on them.

It is not difficult to give birth to one hundred people, and it only requires a population of one million at most.

But after the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, if you want to continue to advance, you need a thousand smart people.

These one thousand people will be evenly distributed among the previously derived disciplines, and they will begin to inherit the knowledge of their predecessors, and it will take about ten years to completely learn it.

Then, even if their life span is short, only fifty years, they can still have at least twenty to twenty-five years to promote the continued development of science and technology.

And to give birth to these 1,000 people, it only requires a population of 5 million.

But the limitation of technology and human beings often lies in this. Its growth is not a simple multiple growth, but a terrifying exponential explosion.

When technology develops into the steam age, there must be at least one hundred thousand smart and diligent humans to pass on previous knowledge and use the remaining ten years to complete research and advancement.

When science and technology develops into the information age, at least one million, or even five million, smart people will be needed to accept this knowledge and continue to study it.

But the time left for these people, compared with previous generations, is often only a few years that can be counted on both hands.

When they have completely accepted and studied the existing knowledge of mankind, they will have already reached around thirty years old.

And when they reached the pinnacle in this field and began to study further, they were already over fifty years old.

Although the life span of human beings has often exceeded the seventy or eighty-year mark at this time, it seems that there is still thirty years left for them.

But unfortunately, the human brain will slowly degrade over time. At this time, he has already passed the age of extreme creativity.

And this is the ultimate reason for technical barriers.

If human beings want to move beyond the information age and enter the interstellar age, they must have 10 million to 50 million smart people to accept information and expand downwards.

According to this basic analogy, the entire earth must carry at least 50 billion human beings to give birth to these people.

Otherwise, you will be trapped in front of this barrier forever!

Second, creativity

Every scientific researcher who can promote the explosion of technology and the development of inventions has more or less explosive imagination that ordinary people cannot match.

Their vision will be restricted by the times, but their souls will be able to roam freely in the future.

For example, current modular items, although they have not fundamentally improved productivity, they have achieved the ultimate in some aspects.

They have achieved technological overtaking in an alternative way, allowing human civilization to advance in another way.

At the same time, what they did also left a rich theoretical foundation for future generations.

Third, environment

Smart people are not completely determined by nature, nor are they shaped by nurture.

Their existence is like a new piece of white paper, and the environment is like the people who paint on this white paper.

Living in a turbulent and precarious life, no matter how high your IQ is, you can only find more food to eat and live longer than others.

But living in an era of rapid peace and development, they may become great mathematicians and physicists who create history.

These three points are indispensable in the development of civilization.

The dim light of the desk lamp shines on the three floors of the underground shelter, making it look extremely warm.

After writing the last sentence on the paper, Somo turned to the next page, closed his eyes and leaned on the bedside to start thinking.

The discovery of the Adventurer Terminal is indeed exciting news.

Let’s not talk about the wild camping function that can be turned into a mobile camp.

The functions of the other three modules are equally abnormal!

For example, the outdoor small vehicle module can be transformed into three different vehicles according to the terrain.

One is a small off-road motorcycle used on plains, which consumes 15% of electricity every 100 kilometers.

Second, sled motorcycles used on snow consume 10% of electricity every 100 kilometers.

The third is a kayak for water use, which is purely manual and consumes 2% of power per hour.

There is no flying vehicle that can be used in the sky, but when I think of the word "small", it makes sense.

Among the remaining two modules, the extreme risk-taking module can transform into various urgently needed things.

For example, dozens of small items such as battlefield first aid kits, small oxygen bottles, gas masks, heat-insulating gloves, etc.

Although if you want to use these items again after you have used them up, you have to go to Santai Military Industry’s after-sales service store to refill them.

But with the system in place, it can still be used.

The final holographic decoy projection module, as the name suggests, can release a 1:1 holographic image of a real person in situ.

And the bug is that this projection can not only perfectly deceive the senses, but can even simulate things like body odor, collision volume, and even prefabricated actions.

In terms of functionality, the terminal has indeed considered all aspects for adventurers. With it, you basically don’t have to worry about encountering irresistible risks in the wild.

But want to copy.

"If I use the system to copy, at this stage, such an adventurer terminal only requires 90,000 survival points, which is simply an unattainable dream."

"But want to study these technologies."

"We still need more people, more researchers, and more perfect scientific research laboratories!"

Just like upgrading ordinary items, you can use corresponding materials to reduce costs.

On this modular item, each time one of the core technologies is mastered, the fewer survival points are needed for duplication.

Just like a certain Red Alert game on Earth, a laboratory is required to unlock various technological items during manufacturing.

At this stage, without complete laboratories, tools, and personnel, even if you want to conduct large-scale research, it is simply nonsense.

"It seems that we still need to continue to upgrade the level of the shelter and expand more attributes to help with research."

"No matter what, when winter is over and I meet the conditions for level six, I will upgrade immediately!"

After opening his eyes and writing down this urgent need on the paper, Sumo's heart moved slightly and he had some ideas.

There is a level for every five levels of shelter.

For example, the previous level 5 was stuck for a long time.

But after level five, it is much easier to reach level six. With the current conditions of the depression, you only need to accumulate two disasters to upgrade.

At that time, a new layer can be added to the shelter to serve as a laboratory for the depression.

Moreover, considering that the underground shelter has not been upgraded for a long time,

"Perhaps we can use survival points to fully upgrade the underground shelter at that time, if it can be upgraded with some special attributes."

"Maybe studying these things isn't so hard!"

After thinking about this, Somo closed the diary and placed it on the bedside table. Then he lay down slightly.

Just like a poor boy who was led to a prosperous metropolis and fully experienced the luxurious life of a billionaire young man, he couldn't calm down at all.

Now that he has seen such magical module technology, he feels the same way.

Before experiencing the functions of the terminal, Sumo vaguely attributed this modular technology to the development of Yanguo.

But now, he is completely convinced:

Modular technology is definitely not from the Yan Kingdom, nor from the Butterfly Universe, nor even from the hands of humans on Earth in the major parallel universes.

In a sense, his existence is the same as the game, it belongs to a higher level of technology, covered with skin that humans can understand!

"Technology from behind the door?"

With a lingering thought, Somo turned off the light in the room and plunged it into darkness.

After a while, the sound of breathing gradually slowed down and sounded rhythmically.

The entire shelter was sleepy.

A night of silence.

When six-thirty arrived and the sun crept up to the horizon quietly, Somo, who had slept peacefully all night, opened his eyes leisurely.

call.

I didn't feel anything when I fell asleep, but as soon as I woke up, the air-conditioning hit me directly, dispelling all the sleepiness.

Looking at the thermometer in the bedroom, it showed that the temperature on the third floor was now only one degree above zero.

Pulling up the quilt, he leaned on the head of the bed, picked up the cool psionic water next to him, and drank three large sips of Soma, completely waking up.

"It's too cold. We must get some coal back as soon as possible!"
