Homo sapiens.

Li Qingye and other researchers continue to study related topics in the Pangu world.

Chapter 658 Sociology of Technology

Galaxy 11, February 3nd.

Saturn - Titan.

This is one of the life planets under the Saturn colonization branch. The Homo sapiens company, which has obtained the life metal technology, has reached an extremely high level in planetary transformation and construction.

A planet like Titan star only needs about half a year to complete the initial transformation.

However, the gravity of Titan is not suitable for humans, so only some synchronous robots are working here.

Li Qingye intends to come to Saturn Colonial Branch for investigation, so it is naturally impossible to only inspect the Civilization Tinder scientific research base project.

He came to Saturn this time for a one-week investigation.

The first stop is Titan.

At this time, there is a huge artificial star ring above the equator of the Titan star, and the pillars of the star ring are pierced deep into the formation of the Titan star.

The material used to build the star ring was "borrowed" from the omnic civilization database. This material is similar to six-claw silicon steel. Its core components are silicon, aluminum, calcium, and iron. The material is called "Yongji Alloy".

The name Yongji Alloy comes from the omnic family, because this alloy is called the "eternal base material" by the omnic family.

Li Qingye appeared in the star ring space port with several assistants through the synchronous robot.

There are Yongji alloy components everywhere. This material can be widely used in omnic civilization, and naturally has its advantages.

As the basic material of the interstellar era, it usually has several characteristics, that is, abundant raw materials, low difficulty in production and processing, and various secondary modifications can be carried out.

Yongji alloy is obviously one such material.

This material becomes a superalloy by doping 0.63% carbon and adding 0.041 molybdenum, which can withstand 5038 degrees Celsius without melting.

Otherwise, the star ring pillars made of this material cannot penetrate tens of thousands of meters underground.

After coming down from the space port, he came to the ancient city on the surface of Titan star.

The core job of the ancient layer is mining, and it also works as a scientific research base.

The local city manager Augustus introduced to him: "Chairman, this is the nano-mining airship."

A huge airship is slowly flying in the orange sky.

This airship is actually the same model as Homo Sapiens' transport airship on the other side of the earth, but even if it is the same model, the payload of this airship is several times that of the same model on Earth.

This is because the concentration of the atmosphere on Titan is about 1.5 times that of the Earth, and the gravity of Titan is similar to that of the moon. The superposition of these two factors naturally increases the payload of the transport airship.

"Nano mining? Is it the application of life metal?"

Augustus explained with a smile: "Our part of the mining area puts life metals, and then the mined minerals are turned into cubes, and finally transported to the ancient city by transport airship for further processing."

Li Qingye is not too worried about the application of new technology, after all Homo sapiens company is not the same as Free World.

In order to avoid the rapid elimination of the production line, the free world may deliberately not introduce new technologies and use new technologies as technical reserves.

Homo sapiens company has surpassed the capital operation stage of company development and entered a new stage of self-circulation.

As long as new technology can improve productivity and development level, the management of Homo sapiens will not refuse to innovate technology.

This is caused by the essential difference between the two.

Li Qingye looked at a transport airship, which transported a large amount of minerals to the deep processing plant in the ancient city, and the mining efficiency was several orders of magnitude faster than before.

If it is mined at full capacity, it is estimated that it will not take more than ten years to hollow out the crust of Titan star, and then expose the underground magma layer.

Li Qingye turned his head and looked at Augustus: "The ecosystem of Titan must be maintained, after all, this is a living planet, and it has great reference value."

Augustus hurriedly replied: "Chairman, the Saturn colonization branch has made relevant plans to ensure that mining activities will not seriously affect the original creatures on Titan."

"That's good."

Half an hour later, Li Qingye came to the Institute of Titan Star Biology in the ancient city.

There are various samples of the original organisms of Titan. At present, the original organisms of Titan are all microorganisms, and there are no multicellular organisms.

This point has a high reference value for the study of the evolution of life on the planet.

After all, there are many planets that can produce microorganisms, but there are very few planets that can evolve complex multicellular organisms.

The solar system currently only has the Earth and Venus, and there are complex multicellular organisms. The multicellular organisms under the moon are relatively primitive, which is estimated to have a lot to do with energy and resources.

The Titan star also did not evolve multicellular organisms, which is equivalent to the early Earth.

Dr. Richard, who is in charge of the research institute, saw Li Qingye coming in person, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face: "Mr. Chairman, it's a great pleasure to meet you."

Li Qingye shook hands with the other party: "Dr. Richard, hello! Get used to working with synchronous robots!"

"Fortunately, it's easy to confuse the main body and the synchronous robot." Dr. Richard spread his hands helplessly.

For this point, Li Qingye deeply agrees.

The early synchronous robots had a poor sense of synchronous experience, but there was no confusion between the main body and the synchronous robot.

But later, with the advancement of technology, the synchronous robot can not only transmit sound and picture synchronously, but also can feel the sense of touch, smell and taste synchronously, and the head of the synchronous robot can 100% simulate the face and expression of the user .

This has caused many people to confuse the main body and the synchronous robot in the process of using the synchronous robot for a long time.

Even if some signs are made for the sake of distinction, there is still no way to completely change the confusion.

In order to reduce related mental illness, the company has adopted strict commute and commute timings for employees who use synchronous robots to go to get off work, and at the same time extended the holiday time.

As long as the regular use of synchronous robots, combined with long vacations, can effectively curb mental illness.

The impact of a technology on society in the application process is a sociology that must be studied clearly.

Many technologies are a double-edged sword.

For example, Internet technology is a typical double-edged sword, and sociology of technology is to study how to apply technology, reduce the side effects brought by technology, and improve the positive effect brought by technology.

Why do demons dance wildly in various regions after human civilization entered the 21st century.

The reason is that the sociology of technology is not enough, and the side effects of technology in the application process have not been effectively curbed, and have even been amplified by forces and groups with ulterior motives.

In Li Qingye's view, the sociology of technology is as important as technology itself.

The application of technology without a bottom line will result in the formation of a social atmosphere without a bottom line, which will lead to the development of civilization going astray.

Chapter 659 Solving Puzzles

After Li Qingye inspected the ancient city of Titan, he went directly to Saturn's civilization spark research base through a synchronous robot.

This civilization fire research base is not far from the former Phoebe.

Phoebe is also a testing ground for the spark of civilization.

When Li Qingye came here.

Several persons in charge who had received the news a long time ago appeared in front of him immediately.

"Mr. Chairman, welcome to guide us." Base Director Zhao Changfeng said while introducing him: "This is Dr. Lexington, the person in charge of scientific research, and this is Los Ali, the person in charge of the test site..."

Li Qingye shook hands with everyone with a smile, and then he asked: "I heard that the fire of civilization is ready for use?"

Dr. Lexington nodded: "There are not too many problems with the technology itself, but there are some problems with the delivery vehicle."

"Tell me about the specific problem you encountered?"

Dr. Lexington led a group of people to a small testing ground.

Los Ali, who was in charge of the test work, explained in a low voice beside Li Qingye: "Chairman, this is the interstellar flight simulation test site."

I saw that the entire test field was empty, with a length and radius of 500 meters, and it was a spherical vacuum field.

After a while, Dr. Lexington and Los Ali controlled the system and activated the testing field.

Immediately, some micro-aircraft were released into the spherical vacuum field.

Li Qingye could tell at a glance that this was an interstellar space that simulated the solar system and surrounding planetary systems.

After some operations, in this simulated test field, the fire of civilization and the fake comets launched by the super-powerful electromagnetic orbital accelerator slowly flew out of the solar system.

"Did the speed only reach 22 kilometers per second?" Seeing this result, Li Qingye frowned.

Dr. Lexington nodded helplessly: "Yes, Mr. Chairman, the fastest speed of the fake comet is only 22 kilometers per second. If the speed continues to increase, the fake comet will not be able to bear it, and then it will gradually disintegrate. In interstellar space."

"Is there any other plan?"

"Yes." Dr. Lexington called out other backup plans: "This is a backup plan. There are currently two more feasible backup plans..."

Li Qingye read it again.

The two alternative schemes are: casing scheme, casing + auxiliary thruster scheme.

Among them, the casing scheme is very simple, which is to add a layer of super alloy on the camouflage comet, which can increase the initial speed to 80 kilometers per second.

The casing + auxiliary propulsion scheme is to add a set of nuclear fusion power system and ultra-high-speed plasma thruster on the basis of the casing scheme, and in addition, cooperate with the stardust collector in interstellar space to increase the speed to 6000 kilometers per second.

Li Qingye immediately understood the disadvantages of these two backup plans.

In the universe, it is difficult for normal asteroids and comets to fly at speeds above 50 kilometers per second.

If you use alternative 1, it's better, at least the speed is not exceeded by much.

But if the alternative 2 is adopted, the speed is almost 2% of the speed of light, and this speed is simply not achievable by asteroids and comets.

As soon as any civilization detects asteroids and comets with speeds reaching 2% of the speed of light, it will instantly notice that there is a problem.

So Alternative 2 is very likely to be exposed.

For example, Homo sapiens at this time has densely covered a large number of monitoring stations and monitoring satellites disguised as asteroids within the radius of the solar system within 0.06 light-years.

As long as a star flying at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per second enters this range, it will be detected by these monitoring stations.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the opponent's technology is too much higher than Homo sapiens, and those monitoring stations and monitoring satellites can be avoided.

However, the Homo sapiens company has absorbed a lot of technology from the six-claw civilization and the omnic civilization. Unless it is a quasi-secondary civilization, it is difficult to avoid the monitoring of the Homo sapiens company.

Since Homo sapiens can monitor stars with abnormal speeds, there is no reason why other first-level civilizations cannot.

Los Ali saw Li Qingye's thoughts, and he said a supplementary plan:

"Mr. Chairman, if we slow down when approaching the one-light-year boundary of the planetary system, reduce the speed to 15 kilometers per second, and discard the metal casing and propeller, it can reduce the possibility of being detected."

However, Li Qingye shook his head: "There is no need for that. A civilization that can detect abnormal speeds of stars is definitely not an ordinary zero-level civilization. It is basically impossible for the spark of civilization to develop insignificantly under the nose of the other party."

"As for civilizations whose star speeds cannot be detected abnormally, there is a high probability that they are zero-level civilizations, or uninhabited wild planetary systems."

Everyone reacted immediately.

As Li Qingye said, where abnormalities can be found, the fire of civilization cannot take root; where abnormalities cannot be found, it is the habitat where the fire of civilization can develop.

After trying to understand this truth, everyone suddenly became enlightened.

Dr. Lexington saw that the last problem was solved, and a smile appeared on his face: "Chairman is wise, it seems that the civilized fire plan can be implemented."

"Do you have any plans for it?"

Zhao Changfeng nodded: "Yes." He then investigated a detailed planning list, which included all planetary systems within a radius of 100 light-years around the solar system.

“我们计划以半径10光年、半径10～30光年、半径30～100光年为界限，分为三个阶段，第一阶段就是半径10光年以内的行星系。”

Then Zhao Changfeng input the data and calculated at 2% of the speed of light.

Within a radius of 10 light-years centered on the solar system, it takes about 500 earth-years to travel the farthest.

However, the nearest six-claw superstar only needs about 150 earth years to reach the fire of civilization. It is a pity that the six-claw superstar has a first-level civilization, and it must not be able to launch the fire of civilization.

And another goal, the Proximity system at a distance of 4.2 light years, will take about 210 years.

Li Qingye didn't care too much about the sailing time.

After all, under normal circumstances, the new human beings now have a life expectancy of about 170 to 180 years.

If an absolute zero freezing chamber is used, the time can be extended for thousands of years.

That is to say, if Li Qingye has no way to continue to extend his normal lifespan at this stage, he can still use the absolute zero freezing chamber, wait for the technology to be more developed in the future, and then use new technology to extend his lifespan.

Therefore, Li Qingye can still see the spark of civilization reaching the planetary system within 10 light-years.

With the problem of the general direction being resolved, the launch time of the Civilization Tinder has also been determined. It is expected that after 7 months, Homo Sapiens will launch the first Civilization Tinder to the Proximity System.
