Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 197 The Attack Methods of the Kabuto Armor

Ding Yi was not yet aware of this problem. Since humans developed controlled nuclear fusion and stellar lensing steelmaking technology, the concepts of energy and resources have rarely been mentioned.

For ordinary needs, such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, the vast majority of the materials involved can be recycled with the help of external energy sources.

To give a very direct example, human food eventually turns into feces, which, after undergoing various chemical fermentations, becomes the crop culture medium in giant automated farms.

The total amount of all elements on Earth remains constant; what changes is the energy contained in the chemical bonds of various molecules.

Therefore, within a certain carrying capacity, as long as energy is supplied continuously, the material aspect can theoretically be said to be continuously circulated!
Nanoscale 3D material printers take this characteristic to the extreme.

All macroscopic matter, when broken down to the microscopic level, consists of the same atoms or molecules. These atoms and molecules are then recombined into the desired items, and the total amount of matter remains unchanged.

Although nanoscale 3D material printers do not yet have such powerful functions, they still rely on the supply of raw materials, meaning that the decomposed items need to go through a specific process to become specific printing materials.

But the theory is there: frankly, if it weren't for the roaming plan, human civilization wouldn't need to develop interstellar iron ore resources. With a mere four billion people, Earth could easily take care of them all!

This phenomenon also leads to another question.
The total amount of matter in the universe should remain constant no matter how it is used, right?
Even if the matter-antimatter annihilation effect can destroy matter atoms, it means that there is a way to break down some kind of energy or matter that humans have not yet come into contact with into matter and antimatter.

The total amount remains unchanged.

So the question arises: why does the universe experience a shortage of resources?
If we can achieve the recycling of matter and energy, theoretically it could meet the carrying capacity of the universe, which is an absolutely exaggerated number.

This most likely involves philosophical questions about life.
A planet is a system for recycling matter, and a star system is a similar system. Extending this further, galaxies, superclusters, and galaxy clusters can all be seen as even larger recycling systems.
Life itself is a link in a cycle. It's just that in the process of subjective activities, we change the environment to our liking, but we don't break out of the cycle, so there is no such thing as a lack of resources.

If so, it must be due to unbalanced development. Firstly, some groups of life occupy most of the public resources, creating the illusion that other groups of life lack sufficient resources.
Secondly, scientific development cannot keep pace with consumption capacity, making it impossible to achieve material recycling. However, consumption capacity and scientific development are mutually reinforcing; high consumption capacity requires further scientific development.
The mismatch can only mean that the development of this civilization is severely unbalanced, and the spiritual opium of consumption and hedonism has suppressed the momentum of scientific development.

In Luo Ji's words
This is a selection mechanism within civilization. The path of development is not smooth sailing, but rather fraught with many tribulations, from external dangers to internal changes, all of which are tests.

The objective activities of this objective world are so perfectly aligned with the subjective thoughts of subjective life.

Jiang Fan once mentioned an irrefutable truth in a public speech.

Subjective thinking is an abstract description of objective existence; it is a conceptual concept created by life to better understand the world. Therefore, in essence, the source of cognition for all civilizations is the same.

We all start from the same point; the only difference lies in the way we interpret it, perhaps in the form it takes.

Different approaches represent different kinds of wisdom. Human civilization must learn to respect and absorb wisdom, and only by interpreting the world from all aspects can we see the whole picture of the world.

He said this to provide scientific guidance for humanity's contact with and integration with other civilizations, to explain the significance and benefits of doing so, and to help people form a set of values.

Judging from humanity's acceptance of the Trisolarans, the practice of periodically promoting various philosophical ideas to all of humanity is still quite effective.

Jiang Fan has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of human civilization.

I'm afraid they'll grow up crooked, but I'm also afraid they won't grow up at all. I can't completely let go, but I can't be too strict either.
We must both stimulate vitality and prevent mutations.

Raising a son wasn't this difficult.

Fortunately, he has a large group of like-minded friends who support him. As Jiang Fan's "mental tentacles" and "external surveillance," they are always able to clear obstacles in the path of civilization's progress in advance.
This concept of 'friendship' must be extended to all civilized individuals for true civilization to exist!

Ding Yi didn't dwell on Jiang Fan's words. In his view, it was better to study objective laws than to think about these philosophical things.
Humanity has a qualified leader. Some things can be left to the leader to think deeply about. They only need to be responsible for providing objective information for judgment and decision-making.

"You're right, who can predict the future?"

After responding, he pulled up an image of children in armored Kabuto flying freely on Mars, and, unable to resist showing off, said to Zhang Beikai.

"Old Zhang, you would never guess how the Kabuto fights."

Zhang Beihai was somewhat surprised. What was so unexpected about this?
"Isn't the attack supposed to be launched using armored vehicles? As for what the weapon is, I really can't think of anything."

Ding Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Old Zhang, your war mentality is still stuck in the last era. Use your imagination, what kind of attack is the strongest attack a civilization can launch?"

Zhang Beihai frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. After a moment of contemplation, he tentatively replied.

"Could it be that the Kabuto is equipped with the most advanced small antimatter bombs? Isn't that the most powerful weapon human civilization currently possesses?"

Ding Yi waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, there's something wrong with your line of thinking."

After speaking, with a look of embarrassment mixed with intense longing on his face, he slowly turned to look at Jiang Fan, coughed, and said...

"Ahem~ Does President Jiang have any thoughts?"

That awkward look made Jiang Fan's lips curl into a smile. After thinking for a moment, he decided to indulge Ding Yi's desire to show off and replied,
"My thoughts are the same as Lao Zhang's,"

One last thing:
"Is it not?"

Having someone set up the stage for an opera performance is an incredibly wonderful thing, Ding Yi said with a pleased expression, explaining to the two of them.
"of course not."

"After our discussion, we concluded that a civilization's strongest weapon is not a 'weapon,' but rather its method of attack."

"No matter how powerful the weapons carried by soldiers or warships are, there is a limit to the number they can carry. But if there were a way to allow all the weapons of a civilization to bombard the enemy, that would be the true concentration of the power of the entire civilization!"
