Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 162 About the Future
"In the next period of time, I plan to develop multiple lines simultaneously, and some new projects have been started on the artificial intelligence side, but the current projects there are not big projects, so I won't talk about that.

Mainly on the biological side. In the biological field, the projects I have prepared are mainly about aging and artificially synthesized food. "

Zhou Ming briefly told the old man in front of him his short-term thoughts, and the old man on the other side listened very seriously.

After hearing Zhou Ming talk about the two aspects of aging and synthetic food, the old man seemed very concerned.

These two points are more important to the study of aging for individuals, but for the whole country, the synthesis of food is more important.

In conclusion, both are very important.

After that, the old man asked Zhou Ming some questions about these two aspects.

In fact, with regard to the two points of aging and artificially synthesized food, the major developed countries in the world, including the developing country of China, have already begun to conduct related research, such as artificially synthesized starch, artificially synthesized glucose, etc. Research has been going on for many years.

But no matter who it is, their research is still at the basic stage, and there are still some steps missing if they want to completely break away from biology and complete complete artificial synthesis in the laboratory.

And what Zhou Ming plans to study, especially the synthetic food, is no longer like his previous projects, which can be completed in a few months at most. This will be a long-term project, and there are many things he has to study. Zhou Ming It is estimated that it will take at least one or two years to complete.

After all, there are many kinds of food. Since you are synthetic food, the most basic starch, glucose, and even fat must be synthesized, right?
Moreover, if the cost of your artificial synthesis is higher than that of general production, it will definitely not be easy to promote.

After Zhou Ming answered the old man's questions about the two projects he was going to study one by one, the old man asked Zhou Ming about the future development of Huaguo.

"We held a meeting before, and almost all the members of the Academy of Sciences and Academy of Engineering participated in that meeting.

Some of these academicians had contact with Professor Zhou, and they all praised Professor Zhou, and even called Professor Zhou the leader of our young scientists in Huaguo.

And they also said that Professor Zhou has an advanced vision and has professional and unique insights into the future development of science and technology.

However, most of those who said this also said that Professor Zhou's attitude towards Huaguo's future technological development was too optimistic.

Therefore, I want to hear Professor Zhou's views on Huaguo's future technological development. "

The old man first talked about some old academicians' compliments to Zhou Ming, and then asked Zhou Ming his views on the future development of science and technology in Huaguo.

Asking Zhou Ming about Huaguo's future development, the old man naturally couldn't believe what Zhou Ming said.

However, Zhou Ming, as a newly ignited superstar in Huaguo's scientific community, has achieved achievements in certain fields that can even catch up with those old academicians. It is a reference for the elderly and the upper echelons of Huaguo to formulate Huaguo's future development plan.

Now that this person has asked this question, Zhou Ming naturally expressed his thoughts on Huaguo's future technological development.

"It's 2016 now, and I think Huaguo can reach its carbon peak before 2020 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2025..."

As soon as Zhou Ming said this, the old man in front of him couldn't hold back anymore. He was still skeptical of the previous academicians who said that Zhou Ming was too optimistic about the future development of science and technology in Huaguo. Now Zhou Ming spoke. At the first sentence, he believed what those academicians said.

This is not only too optimistic, this is simply too optimistic.

The carbon peak mentioned by Zhou Ming means that at a certain point in time, carbon dioxide emissions will no longer increase and reach a peak, and then gradually fall back.This is the historical inflection point of carbon dioxide emissions from increasing to decreasing, marking the decoupling of carbon emissions from economic development. The peak target includes the peak year and peak.

And Zhou Ming’s carbon neutrality, like carbon peaking, is a term for energy conservation and emission reduction, which refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly produced by a country, enterprise, product, activity or individual within a certain period of time. Afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, etc., are used to offset the carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas emissions produced by itself, to achieve positive and negative offsets, and to achieve relatively "zero emissions".

In fact, regarding carbon emissions, this is related to many developed countries in the United Nations, and it is related to carbon emission rights.

To put it more bluntly, it is actually dividing the cake.

During the industrial revolution in developed countries, when factories were built everywhere, a lot of carbon dioxide was emitted.

According to some current studies, this may be one of the reasons for the rise in global temperature, so after they develop now, they say that they want to protect the earth, protect the environment, protect human beings, and prevent the global temperature from continuing to rise, so they start to limit carbon. emission.

But in fact, it is just to limit the development of developing countries.

As for the carbon dioxide they emitted for development in the past, all of them are treated as if they never happened.

在2009年12月7号到12月18号的哥本哈根世界气候大会上，IPCC一共提出来七个国际碳减排方案，这七个方案一个比一个黑。

At that time, the Huaguo negotiating team made a lot of efforts, but in the end it was only the less dark one among the seven black proposals selected by the conference.

But even so, this one is not so dark compared to the other six plans, and the final selected plan is still very dark for developing countries.

In this scheme, developed countries do not give clear quantitative restrictions to developing countries.

But the total amount, as well as the total amount of developed countries, is controlled.

The per capita emission rights of developed countries are 2.3 times that of developing countries. This does not include historical data, but if historical data is included, it is 7.54 times.

If carbon emission rights become carbon emission trading in the end, then this is a trap for developing countries.

More importantly, the right to carbon emissions should be a basic human right.

People in developing and developed countries should have the same emission rights. According to the G8 plan, 27 developed countries, with a population of 11 billion, share 44% of carbon emission rights.

The remaining 54 billion people in developing countries have only 56% of carbon emission rights.

For example, if a developing country needs to emit 100 carbons from the industrial revolution to developed countries, they only need to emit 1 carbon to develop carbon neutrality.

Now those countries that have already emitted 100 carbons say that for the sake of the environment, they need to set a total amount for the global carbon emissions, which is 1000.

Although they did not set a limit for developing countries, the total amount was fixed, and they also drew 1000 out of the total amount of 440.

And it is the 5 that is left for the developing countries, whose population is 560 times larger than that of the developed countries.

Moreover, if these developing countries want to develop into developed countries, some still need an amount of 100, and some have been developing for a while, but still need an amount of 50.

While developed countries have developed into carbon neutrality, some of their carbon emissions only need an amount of 1, and some even only need a fraction of an amount.

Looking at it this way, this plan is really the same as its name, it is really a G8 plan.

However, if the carbon peak and carbon neutrality mentioned by Zhou Ming can be realized by Huaguo before 2020 and 2025, then the most benefited from this plan in the future will not be the developed countries that proposed the plan, but Huaguo .

But such a thing, except for Zhou Ming, no one would think that it will become a reality in the future.

Huaguo has not yet proposed a plan related to this. If Zhou Ming did not obtain a life simulator and the world developed as it did before Zhou Ming first obtained a life simulator, then Huaguo will only propose it in 2021. Realize the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

In 2021, the carbon peak mentioned by Hua Guo is to strive to achieve it before 2030, and for carbon neutrality, it is to strive to achieve it before 2060.

Now Zhou Ming actually proposes that Huaguo can reach its carbon peak before 2020, and then it will take less than five years to achieve carbon neutrality. It can be said that the 44-year period has been shortened to 9 years. How can this be? possible.

On Zhou Ming's side, he continued to talk about his views on Huaguo's future technological development.

"I predict that before 2030, our Huaguo will build the first base on the moon, which will also be the first base for humans on the moon, and the base will have an artificial ecology that can form self-circulation The biosphere of the circulatory system, using this base, humans will be able to survive on the moon for a long time..."

Zhou Ming talked endlessly about his plan for Huaguo's future technological development up to 2050, and even talked about the situation of human beings living on Mars. As for the more distant future, Zhou Ming didn't know, but he felt that when it came to 2050 Enough is enough.

Moreover, what Zhou Ming mentioned is based on the fact that the life simulator will disappear in the next year.

If he still has a life simulator by 2050, he really can't predict what the future technology will look like.

The old man in front of Zhou Ming didn't interrupt when Zhou Ming was talking, but just nodded from time to time, although he didn't think that what Zhou Ming said could really be realized in the year he said, and he didn't think he could really see such a thing. s future.

But he still appreciates Zhou Ming's mentality, which is what young people should have.

If Zhou Ming was really alone, no matter how powerful he was, it would be impossible for him to realize what he said in such a short period of time.

But with the help of the following companies, local governments, and even the entire country, this is not impossible, but extremely possible.

Moreover, these futures mentioned by Zhou Ming are not even too optimistic, they may be completed ahead of schedule.

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, the meeting and conversation almost came to an end. The old man stretched out his hand to Zhou Ming, smiled and shook hands with him.

In the evening, this incident was also broadcast on the news broadcast of the Bai Province TV station and the news broadcast of the Huaguo official TV station.

Zhou Ming didn't pay much attention to these at first. After the old man left HKUST in the afternoon, Zhou Ming submitted the application for the project he wanted to research.

I have to say that the speed of the project he submitted today is really like riding a rocket.

Less than an hour after Zhou Ming submitted it, he received a notification from the school that all the research projects he submitted had been approved, and all the project funds had been credited to the account.

Zhou Ming doesn't pay attention to the news, but that doesn't mean that other people don't.

Since Zhou Ming is often on the news now, his father and grandfather have already formed the habit of watching the news.

That night, they switched the TV channel to one at seven o'clock without hesitation. When Zhou Ming's father and grandfather saw Zhou Ming shaking hands with that man and chatting with him on the news broadcast, they immediately called Zhou Ming. made a phone call.

The direct call this time is not a WeChat video or voice call.

Zhou Ming, who was reading "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals" written by RP Feynman and AR Hibbs with relish, was interrupted by a mobile phone ringing, and he was forced to return from the world of quantum mechanics. Come in reality.

"I haven't received a call for a while, and I forgot to turn on the mute. Who is this calling? Why is someone calling me suddenly today?"

Zhou Ming put down the book in his hand and muttered in his mouth. He picked up the phone and looked, and found that it was his grandfather who usually made WeChat voice or video calls even if he made calls.

Zhou Ming has told his grandparents many times that they don't charge for calling him. If they can't get through through WeChat, they can call directly.

However, Zhou Ming's grandparents just didn't listen, and they always thought that calling requires money, and that people can still be seen through WeChat video calls, so they always made WeChat calls.

Seeing that it was Grandpa calling, Zhou Ming quickly picked it up.

Before Zhou Ming could speak, his grandfather's voice came from the phone.

"Xiao Ming, I just watched the news broadcast and saw you shaking hands with ***, you kid, why didn't you tell us about such a big matter in advance? If it weren't for your dad and I staying together every day for the past two months Watching the news in front of the TV, you can’t see the news in the first place.”

Zhou Ming's grandfather blamed Zhou Ming on the mobile phone, but he said it was blame, but there was no sense of blame in his tone. The tone of pride and pride was transmitted to Zhou Ming through the radio.

Zhou Ming finally finished dealing with his grandfather, and just as he was about to hang up the phone, his father took the phone from his grandfather again and started talking.

After dealing with his grandfather and father, Zhou Ming simply turned off his mobile phone and continued reading.

Because English is not bad, Zhou Ming read the original English version of the book "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integral".

One of the authors of this book, Richard Phillips Feynman, is a famous physicist in the United States and a professor of the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology. Ichiro shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics.

The content of this book was organized by Hibbs on the basis of the lecture notes compiled by Feynman, which is why the author of this book has the name of Hills.

In this book, Feynman avoids dense and complicated descriptions, and presents his famous theory in a concise and clear way, with both mathematical operations and physical images, achieving a perfect balance between the two .

Zhou Ming already had some understanding of quantum mechanics, and he is a master in mathematics in this era, so the content of this book does not seem to be difficult for him at all. The propagators of harmonic oscillators are also calculated by using the path integral of .

Therefore, even though he has been reading this book for a few days, Zhou Ming still finished the work of this book at around ten o'clock that night, even though he did not spend much time on this book every day. Reading, raised the Books to Read section of the Life Simulator quest to 4/50.

Now, Zhou Ming has 46 books left to read.
