Chapter 57 O Plan(1/2)
Leaving the Dwarf Valley and on his way back to the station building, Juan used his brain chip to search for Dr. O.
He instinctively felt that Dr. O's records should be included in the information left by Soma.
Sure enough, he found an article written by Dr. O, "Plan O".
The confidentiality level of the article is actually the highest level of "top secret".
Fortunately, Juan is the head of the planet and has reached the level to view such confidential documents.
He clicked on the file and looked at it.
"o plan
Prepared by: Dr. o
Introduction: Human development requires a large number of workers with certain technical capabilities. Humanoid creatures in a completely barbaric state cannot assume this role. Therefore, it is necessary to improve their technological level.
But we must be vigilant to prevent the technology of humanoid creatures from eventually developing to a level that threatens human rule.
Therefore, guiding them in the direction of scientific and technological development that has been proven to be wrong from the beginning should be the best way to solve this problem.
In order to verify the feasibility of this method, this plan uses the dwarves of the beautiful planet as experimental subjects, and uses 'steampunk' as the basis to mislead them into developing steam technology.
At the same time, in order to avoid accidents, a large amount of waste crystals were directly provided to the dwarves at the beginning of the plan, making them the core of dwarf steam technology.
This kind of crystal with silicene as the main body is completely dependent on artificial manufacturing. It is the basis of human nuclear energy technology. It does not exist in nature. It is impossible to create it even if the steam technology of the dwarves is developed to its limit.
Therefore, by controlling the number of waste crystals obtained by dwarves, the scale of development of their steam technology can be controlled.
When necessary, we can also cut off the supply of waste crystals to stifle their development possibilities..."
What follows is a large amount of data, analysis and argument. Dr. O describes in detail the changes in the dwarves under his misguidance.
His pride filled the lines.
At the end of the article, Dr. O even used a rather literary sentence to conclude:
"With the help of humans, dwarves will climb steep mountains and spend their entire lives looking up at the stars."
Even though it is already noon, the sun generously spreads its heat on the float vehicle located in the equatorial region.
But Juan in the car still felt waves of coldness.
Juan contrasted the coldness of Dr. O towards the dwarves in this plan with the unabashed admiration and gratitude of the dwarves, especially Lolita, to Dr. O.
He couldn't help complaining: "The heart of this scholar is so vicious!"
Morgan, who was reading a book next to him, asked: "What do you mean? You told me to study more, and now you are saying this, are you trying to trick me?"
"I didn't say you, I meant..."
Juan suddenly stopped. He thought that Morgan was not high enough to know the contents of the "top secret" documents, so he could not tell him about "Plan O".
He thought for a while and said: "You know Dr. O that the dwarves worship, right? What would happen if someone said that Dr. O was wrong?"
Morgan said in a very sure tone: "The dwarves will chop that man up."
"What if the dwarf himself discovers that there is a problem with developing in the direction guided by Dr. O?"
"You are talking about their steam technology. To be honest, I was confused when I first came into contact with it. I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.
“But I didn’t read much at the time, so I couldn’t explain what the problem was.
"And now it seems that the dwarves are living a pretty good life through the development of steam technology, so there should be no problem."
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if one day the dwarves find that their technology has hit a ceiling and there is no way to further develop it anyway?"
"I never thought about it. I should have been gone by then. Why should I think about things at that time?"
"Isn't this just leisure time? I've seen all the scenery along the way. What else can I do if I don't chat?"
"I can read a book."
"What book are you reading? Let me take a look."
Morgan sent a link via the brain chip.
Juan clicked on it and saw a novel called "The Road of Medieval Kings".
"I asked Morgan, what's so good about this kind of book? It's already in the cosmic era, but you're still reading about the Middle Ages. Is it interesting? Let's chat."
"Okay, okay, I can't stand it anymore with you nagging me."
"That's right, Morgan, you said, suppose that the development of science and technology is climbing up, but when you climb to the mountain and find that there is no way, what will happen?"
"You said I don't understand technology, but I am familiar with mountain climbing.
“When I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro before, I always thought I was climbing the highest peak, but when I climbed up, I discovered that there were even higher peaks ahead.
"Then we have no choice but to go down the mountain and then start climbing up from the bottom.
"I guess when technology reaches its ceiling, it has no choice but to give up and start from scratch."
Juan nodded and said: "I think so too, maybe this is the only way to solve this dilemma.
“But starting from scratch is not easy, it requires great perseverance.
"One person may be able to do it, but as a race, it will be difficult."
Morgan objected: “You just compared technological development to climbing a mountain, so I’m talking about climbing a mountain.
"But in fact, your metaphor is not correct. There is no need to go down the mountain and go up the mountain again to develop new technology.
"You can use existing technologies as the basis and then research new technologies. Then it will be like flying on a helicopter from one mountain to another in a whoosh."
Juan shook his head: "No, I don't think so. I think the existing technology that has reached its ceiling will not only not help, but will actually hinder it."
"How can it be?"
"For example, let's take the medieval novel you read. What would happen if you traveled to the Middle Ages and brought technology that has reached the ceiling?"
Morgan's face showed a longing expression: "Of course, it goes without saying that he will farm and explode his troops, use technology to crush the world, and then become emperor and open a harem."
Juan smiled and said: "Morgan, at your age, is it okay to have a harem?"
Morgan's face turned serious: "Men, you can't say no."
Juan gave Morgan a thumbs up: "Okay, you can do it.
"But that's not what I want to tell you. I'm asking you, what next?"
"Then I became an emperor for eternity."
"What happens next?"
"Later, my descendants will spread all over the world, and my reputation will last forever."
"Very good, very cool, what next?"
"What else do you want after that? I'm already immortal, what else do you want after that?"
“But what about technology?”
"Technology? Technology is of course developing rapidly.
"With the technology I bring, research will not take any detours.
"Or you don't need to study, just follow my instructions, and you will soon develop to the current level."
"Then what? Don't forget that the premise of our discussion is that the technology you brought has reached its ceiling."
"That's it, then I will order my subordinates to study it with all their strength."
"It has reached its ceiling and cannot even be improved. How can we still study it?"
"Who said it was improved? Of course it was research on new technology!"
"Your men can't do it."
"Yes, they followed my instructions before and they copied it. These brick-and-mortar guys who only know how to copy will definitely not be able to do it.
"But it doesn't matter. I can vigorously develop education and train new scientific researchers."
"How do you educate new scientific researchers?"
"Of course let them study more."
"What book should I read?"
"Well, novels definitely won't work. We need to ask them to read more science and technology books."
"What technology?"
"Of course it's the existing technology, and I don't have any other technology."
"Do you think researchers with existing technologies in mind can overturn existing technologies and develop new technologies?"
"Should, maybe, probably."
"Okay, what if there are researchers who receive education in existing technologies and at the same time conduct research that overturns existing technologies?"
"What will happen?"
"Let's make an analogy, Morgan. What is 22?"
