The end of technology.

"Wow, the teacher is really good at predicting things. He told me that if I ask you for approval, you may teach me that the base should save resources...Let me tell you, don't talk about it, he has already told me Uncle Zhuo has explained that he asked Du Abo to send a small boat to pick me up to the Wu Gang, and then follow the ferry boat on the Wu Gang back to Earth, and the cost does not need to be charged by the base."

"Who is Du Abo?" Chen Luo frowned and asked.

"Uh... Old Mr. Du Pontler? Didn't the third base be built with their sponsorship?"

Chen Xi blinked his eyes and replied, and then seemed to think of something, and explained like offering a treasure: "By the way, the instructor also said that he didn't prepare this passage for you because he hoped that you can calm down in the moon base and get the nuclear core as soon as possible." After the fusion project is done, his Mars transformation plan is short of the key technology chain here. He doesn't want you to be 30 years old and still not get a diploma, it would be too shameful."

"Chen Xi, is that what you said? Can you blame me? Let me ask you who doctoral supervisor has set a hard threshold for students to graduate, and can only graduate after the controllable nuclear fusion is ignited and operated stably and continuously for more than half a year." ? Do you think this is normal?"

"Um... not too much, right? The tutor said that he gave you all the previous research materials, and even gave you an intelligent assistant. As long as you don't have too much brain problem, you can definitely do it. And my graduation The requirement is that I have to rely on my own efforts to get the Fields Medal of Mathematics before the age of 26, and they also said that I will not graduate after the age of 26. Well, this requirement is also very difficult, right?"

"Forget it, where is your portable computer, I'll give you an approval note." Chen Luo didn't want to say anything, and just spread his hands.

He was too lazy to explain to the little girl that he had the face of his mentor, and there was a high probability that he only needed a letter of recommendation, and he would get the award if he got it.Chen Luo also didn't want the ugly academic story to cast a shadow over the pure academic heart of the junior sister.

It is enough for him to bear this kind of suffering alone.

Who made him a big brother?

"Thank you, senior brother, you are the best besides your mentor!"

Chen Luo took the portable computer handed over by his younger junior sister, pressed his electronic fingerprint on the written leave note, and then clicked Import into the system. After a prompt that the system passed, he handed over the palm-sized auxiliary computer to Chen Xi.

"Okay, it's been reported, you can contact Director Zhuo. Thank you brother, next time you come to Chang'e base, I will bring you the most delicious spicy chicken wings."

"Just remember to bring two extra pairs of flat shoes."

Before Chen Luo finished speaking, he saw that Chen Xi had already bounced and ran away without a trace, and couldn't help feeling depressed again.

God is indeed the fairest. He gave the little junior sister a genius brain, a pretty face and a cheerful personality, and then confiscated her stupidity, ugliness and autism.

MMP!

……

Watching the little junior sister disappear at the corner of the passage, Chen Luo shook his head subconsciously, then turned around and walked to the cross passage on the other side, turned right to the elevator, and walked into the elevator after verifying his identity.Press the button on the -5th floor, and when the elevator opens again, a huge circular machine is displayed in front of Chen Luo.

This is the controllable nuclear fusion project that Chen Luo is personally responsible for, and it is also his graduation project, code-named Sansu No. [-].

Before the appearance of N-series humanoid robots in the base, it was completely impossible for a doctoral student to be in charge of such a huge project.Of course, even now it's not really possible.But when this project is supported by a large amount of data, all kinds of key materials are backed by [-] world-class laboratories in the entire base, and there are research breakthroughs in anti-gravity materials as supplements, plus robots that can be constructed by inputting drawings, It becomes very simple.

Moreover, when the uncles and aunts in the large research base laboratory of the Space Exploration University learned that Chen Luo's graduation project was to independently create a controllable nuclear fusion machine, they really felt sorry for this senior brother specially recruited by Ning Zi.Basically all of his research needs are directly at the top of the priority list.

Even if it's just a small screw...

So whenever Chen Luo faced this machine alone, all the resentment in his heart disappeared, and his whole person calmed down instantly.

Because Chen Luo knows everything he dislikes in this base, but it may be a height that 90.00% of his peers at [-]:[-] and unlimited [-]'s will never be able to reach in their lifetime.This is the life he chose, ha, transforming a planet, making Mars, which is ravaged by storms and desolate everywhere, become as livable as the earth, just thinking about it makes his soul tremble.

I have to say that his big boss is really capable of brainwashing and drawing cakes.

The design concept of Betel-[-] is a variant of laser nuclear fusion.The principle is actually very simple. It can be understood as uniformly heating a fuel ball with a very small diameter to about [-] million degrees. Then bump into each other.The fusion of two nuclei produces a heavier nucleus.This process will be accompanied by a huge release of energy.

The theory is clear, and even all the reaction data at the mathematical level have been processed in great detail, but it is extremely difficult to make this thing run stably.Not to mention controllable.It is extremely painful to fully understand the complicated internal wiring alone.

However, Chen Luo has spent seven years on this machine.

After Ning Zi determined that he could get a master's degree, he assigned this task. During this period, all the papers he published were based on this machine.Being able to win many awards has indeed solved many problems.

For example, how to improve the efficiency of converting the total energy of the incident laser into the implosion energy of the target pellet; separate the heating from the compression process during the implosion compression process to greatly improve safety; and how to effectively control the instability of the plasma fluid during the implosion process non-linear growth.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Chen Luo's opinion, the machine in front of him is definitely more important than his life.

The only problem is that the current controllable nuclear fusion generator can only run stably for about 100 hours, and various unknowable problems will arise.

Indeed, they are all agnostic problems, since many problems arise randomly.

However, Chen Luo is not discouraged. First, this machine already represents the most advanced nuclear fusion technology in the world; The problem is that if the machine can run stably for more than 300 hours, then it will not be a problem to run stably for half a year or even longer.

Although there were many complaints about the tutor's unreliability in other aspects, Chen Luo believed in Ning Zi unconditionally in terms of academics.Because the instructor never misses any academic debate, from the moon base to the extremely complicated Mars artificial capture quality plan. It's all about which side his mentor is on, and which side will definitely win.Even unilaterally win.

The demeanor of the Confucianists with detailed arguments... Forget it, there is nothing to say about the demeanor of a scholar, Chen Luo has long been used to it.

After tidying up his emotions, Chen Luo came to the operating desk, turned on the operating computer connected to the No. connect.

Basically, the operating system of all brain-related devices in the school is the Hongmeng system jointly developed by the base and Youwei Group.The biggest advantage is that it has a cross-platform compatible database, as well as an intelligent and safe multi-device verification mode and a high-speed data interaction transmission mode between devices.

Simply put, it is safe and convenient.

It seems that at this time Chen Luo is synchronizing with the operating computer of the No. [-], and fine-tuning the internal signal structure of No. [-] after receiving Chen Xi's calculation results yesterday.

This fine-tuning is mainly based on the calculation results of the younger sister. After the simulation in the brain, it is believed that the frequent problems of the current Ritel No. [-] after running for a period of time are mainly due to insufficient internal ablation pressure, which leads to fuel in a certain link during the reconciliation process. Mixing, resulting in uneven distribution of internal energy, resulting in a non-linear increase in the pressure cylinder load.

When the pressure cylinder is in an unstable state for a long time, and reaches a critical value after a long time, it will trigger the safety strategy designed by Ritel-[-] and lead to an active shutdown.At the same time, because its internal load is unstable, coupled with the special environment of high temperature and high pressure, the sensors around the machine cannot accurately determine the internal state, so there are frequent fancy error reports.

Chen Xi is only responsible for calculating various variables through mathematical methods, and then simulates the range of possible errors through the intelligent brain. The specific adjustments can only be made by Chen Luo himself.

No, it can't be said that he did it himself, he just re-modified the design on the brain, and after inputting it into the main control computer, there will naturally be a robot to be responsible for the practical operation according to the instructions.

That's right, the most advanced laboratories in the world currently have such a workflow. There are very few places where resident scientists really need to do it. The situation where graduate students washed bottles until they vomited has almost disappeared with the popularity of robots.

Now that the N series scientific research robots have started to develop the sixth generation, even the poorest laboratories can buy second-hand N1 series scientific research robots at a very low price. The preparation work before the test is definitely much more reassuring than manual work.

Free students may be lazy, may complain, or even play tricks, but robots will not.

Of course, this does not mean that the pressure on students has been reduced. For graduate students in this era, it may save a lot of repetitive and boring work, including but not limited to the preparation of various consumables, tedious data recording, post-test inspection, cleaning, etc. work, but also has the necessary learning content, such as how to deal with the auxiliary robot in the laboratory.

The biggest pressure is probably that it is more difficult for graduate students from prestigious universities to graduate.

Although Chen Luo always complained a lot when he was free, he probably didn't expect that his school experience itself had become a legend in the eyes of others, and it could even be said to be some kind of speechless benchmark.

Especially when other tutors need PUA.

"Chen Luo knows, right? He is a student of Academician Ning, he has won the Nobel Prize, and he is still not qualified to graduate. Think about why this is? Is it because the tutor deliberately made things difficult for him? It is because the Nobel Prize is not worth much. Yes? It’s because of the tutor’s love for him! Do you think I want to prevent you from graduating? Wrong, I hope to do more for you!”

……

Well, for Chen Luo, these are just floating clouds.Doing research with his mentor automatically isolated him from the rest of the world.He just needs to do his own thing well.

It was as if at this time, when he successfully uploaded the content that he spent a day yesterday, and after the second verification by the intelligent brain, the instruction was issued to the machine engineers who were on standby.At this time, as the sound of the machine starting sounded, the mechanical engineers also started to move.

Robots of various models and sizes have stood in front of the maintenance port of Ritel No. 31 according to the tasks assigned by the brain. When the mechanical arm opened the door, the robots filed in.At the same time, the computer in front of Chen Luo automatically displayed the estimated time required for the completion of the construction—fifteen hours and [-] minutes, and then began to count down.

At the same time, the screen automatically switches to the internal monitoring screen, and the screen that needs attention can be switched at any time.

Chen Luo rubbed his hands excitedly.

He had a premonition that he might be able to graduate if he persisted for a while!

Chapter 249 The Big Picture of the New Era

At the First Moon Base, Chen Xi was making a video call in her temporary dormitory, which was packed full of princess hearts. After the number was dialed, Zhuo Mingqian's figure was projected on the opposite wall in about a second.

Tim Cook's judgment is correct, ten years of promising has indeed changed the pattern of the world's communications industry.

With the upgrade of holographic technology, long-distance information transmission technology, data compression and decompression technology, and the laying of inter-space relay lines, the communication time between the earth and the moon has been successfully reduced to less than one second.

We must know that based on the distance of 40 kilometers between the earth and the moon, even if the time consumed by relay satellites and countless devices on the way to receive, convert, and transmit signals is not counted, it takes about 1.28 seconds to travel at the pure speed of light. Simply put It is said that the transmission of information exceeds the speed of light.

And the distance between the earth and the moon is too close.It does not fully reflect the strength of this technology.Theoretically speaking, if the future Mars environmental modification plan is successful, as long as enough inter-space relay lines are laid, the information transmission from Mars to Earth can also achieve instant communication.

If we go one step further and lay enough beacon satellites that can connect interspace repeaters along the road from Earth to Mars, then the slow spacecraft can also interact with the Earth in real time at the route nodes.

This shows how great this technology is.

Of course, the past ten years have been an era of technological development blowout, and if someone with a heart sums it up, they will find that all these technologies are pre-developed technologies for the realization of civilized space immigration.For example, the speed of information transmission faster than the speed of light.

Think about it, according to the orbit of Mars and the earth, when the speed of information transmission between the two will fluctuate within 3 minutes to half an hour, how annoying the connection between the earth and fire will be.If you want to make a call to the earth at the apogee, you need to wait for half an hour to get through. For people who are used to the Internet age, this is undoubtedly unacceptable.

Mars is not far from Earth.

If there is no innovation in communication technology, the more distant habitable planet may become an enclave beyond the reach of the earth.In the short term, it’s okay to say that after a long time, the earth’s control over it will become weaker and weaker when communication cannot be facilitated. God knows what will happen in the end.

It can roughly refer to the control over its territory by the huge empire in the feudal era.The farther the territory is from the center, the easier it is to reverse or be directly subverted.

The space age is actually similar.

It takes months or even more than half a year to really contact a planet. After dozens of hundreds of years or more of development, it is really hard to say whether the people there still admit that their civilization originated from the earth.History has fully proved that the collective memory of mankind can be reshaped. You only need to quietly modify the textbooks, and then quietly wait for three or five generations to grow into the middle power of society. At least in a certain stage of civilization, history will be changed beyond recognition.

It seems that at least at this stage, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable for the earth as the parent star.

……

"Uncle Zhuo, the task assigned to me by the teacher has been completed, my senior brother has also approved the leave note, and the information has been synchronized to the student management background of the official website. Please help me contact a ship to take me back to the Nuwa ship tomorrow. okay?"

"Oh, wait for me to see. Well, I have indeed received your application. Chen Xi, do you want to report back to the branch on the Nuwa, or do you want to go back to Earth?"

"Huh? I want to go home."

"Then let's go to the Wu Gang first. The Nuwa just received the task of scientific research and sample collection to Enceladus. It will be very troublesome to go to the Nuwa now."

"Nuwa is going to Saturn again? What are you going to collect this time?"

"The base found many highly active organic cells in the samples captured last time, so it is suspected that single-celled organisms may already exist on Enceladus, so this time Nuwa brought more than 600 unmanned excavators there. Gather enough samples to determine whether Enceladus is alive."

"Uncle Zhuo, the Nuwa is not carrying an unmanned excavator, but an exploration-level interstellar exploration and collection vehicle. But why Enceladus? Isn't Enceladus covered with ice? There is no atmosphere yet?"

"Haha, then you are really asking the right person. I don't know anything about it, but I suggest you hurry up and go home and finish your work, because when your teacher comes back, you may have to assign tasks to you again. If it goes well this time, it will probably start to implement Enceladus migration plan. This is a big project. Last time I heard them say that there are still more than ten plans under discussion. In three years, from the elimination of more than 1000 plans before, there are still more than ten plans... ...According to Academician Ning's habit, I guess the last question may be your master's graduation project."

"Ah? Thank you, Uncle Zhuo, then it's settled. I'll wait for the boat to come tomorrow."

"Well, keep an eye on your email. I will send you the pick-up time after I contact the ship. Just arrive at the base port on time."

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Zhuo."

"Goodbye."

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xi's smiling face instantly collapsed and became full of sadness.

Take Enceladus away and give it to Mars as a satellite, so that the rich water resources on Enceladus can be used to moisten Mars and completely transform the Martian environment.This plan was put forward five years ago, but there has been no movement until now, naturally because it is too difficult.The difficulty can be compared with a particularly famous sci-fi movie "Let's Wander!""Little Broken Ball" is on par.

Even if the size of Enceladus does not need to be compared with that of the earth, it is only about two-sevenths of the moon, but its advantage is that the entire planet is rich in water, or extremely rich in hydrogen and oxygen elements.As long as it can be successfully sent to the vicinity of Mars, after Mars gains enough gravity, the surface of Mars can become a small blue ball with more than 70.00% of its area being ocean, just like the earth.

The problem is that these stars are in constant motion in a system.

Saturn has 62 moons, and everyone is in a delicate balance. It is almost impossible to remove Enceladus quietly.But at least let the impact be within the controllable range.These are actually secondary. The power of nature is terrible. Even if there is some movement during the process of removing Enceladus, it will soon be adjusted to another stable state naturally.

Don't be afraid even if there will be some damage in the middle, anyway, there is no one in the entire Saturn system.

Well, radical environmentalists are probably going crazy. This is definitely the greatest damage to the natural ecological environment in human history.Fortunately, if you zoom in to the entire solar system, such a small change is almost negligible.

But it is still very troublesome.

Although it is said that the plan has been reduced from more than 1000 sets to more than ten sets in three years, it must be known that each set of plans is extremely complicated.Once the formal implementation begins, every step of the way means a huge investment of resources.It is no exaggeration to say that the amount of resources and engineering needed to make up for any mistakes is huge, and the most profitable company in the world will go bankrupt in minutes.

This is the project involving interstellar...

When human beings can only play on the earth, the pinnacle of micro-technology-chips are considered the greatest miracle in the world, but when human beings can go out of the earth, the difficulty and cost of any macro-project involving the planet will be compared to the past Advanced chip technology makes the latter look like a joke.

Take this kind of thing as her graduation project?

Chen Xi suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his body.

At this moment, she thought of the elder brother who had won the Nobel Prize after ten years, but still failed to meet the requirements of the tutor and graduated smoothly, and suddenly he felt bad.

The big brother is at least stuck on getting a doctorate, and she may be stuck on a master's degree.

too difficult!

……

Earth, Huaxia, and the large scientific research base of Yanbei University of Space Exploration.

Zhuo Mingqian, who hung up on Chen Xi's phone, flicked on the desktop. Under the gesture operation, a traditional smartphone dialing screen was directly displayed on the desktop of the desk.

"Xiao Yi, help me contact Mr. Du Bangle." After the casual command, the dial screen disappeared, and the recent information of this Mr. Du Bangle in many private domains or public media appeared on the desktop.While waiting to be connected, just click on the desktop to know what this person has done recently, which can be said to be very considerate.

At least when exchanging pleasantries, there can be no shortage of topics.

However, Zhuo Mingqian was obviously not very interested in what the old gentleman had done recently, and his eyes were still locked on the form being made on the other side.

It was National Day soon, and he had to sort out the new batch of laboratory upgrade lists.

Generally speaking, no matter how good the incentive policy is, it will become rigid and lose its original vitality after the past ten years.This has nothing to do with whether management is scientific or not. The main reason is that after ten years of precipitation, often those talented people have been able to stand out and control enough resources.The rest became mainstays in another sense.For various reasons, I started to dawdle, or put my energy on internal friction.

After all, it is a society of human relations. As long as you stay long enough, once a circle is formed, there will always be differences between close and distant.

But apparently there are no such problems at this base.

Those big cows who upgraded quickly in the early stage have been assigned to laboratories in space.Of course, there will be some scientific research experts who are not interested in those grand projects in space, and just want to be the boss on the three-acre land of the base, but such experts are really a minority. If the standards are not met, the laboratory specifications will go backwards, and even people may be persuaded to leave.

Moreover, the so-called faction relations and human relations that exist in any research laboratory are of no use here.Because the secret has been made public now, the upgrade and upgrade of all personal laboratories, and the amount of resources that the laboratory director can control are all managed by the artificial intelligence system.There is almost no humanness to speak of.

With almost two words, someone can still influence the system's decision-making.
