Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

"Your plan really surprised me!" Liu Xing closed a thick document, and the cover of the document read "Human Joint Space Exploration and Alien Colonization Plan".

"I think not only the elders of the Senate and the Military Aircraft Department will be frightened by this plan, but all human beings will be frightened by your plan. You know, your 'Phoenix Project' has already been hailed as the most important thing for human beings. The biggest project so far. If you hadn't made too many outstanding contributions to the advancement of human science and technology, especially the improvement of China's national strength, your "Phoenix Project" would not have been passed at all. Even after you proposed this plan At that time, the high-level executives had no doubts, and they even thought that this was a modern version of the application of 'Zheng Guoqu'.

But even if the 'Phoenix Project' is approved, all plans can only be carried out in the name of our Xuanwu base.I know that you established the 'Phoenix Space Exploration Fund' to promote the 'Phoenix Project'. The funds you have accumulated for this fund have almost caught up with China's GDP for half a year, right?But how close are you to getting the first funding to start your Phoenix project?

You yourself have estimated that if all goes well, the Phoenix project will not start until you are 45 years old at the earliest.Then, assuming everything goes well in the future, the Phoenix will not be built until you are around 100 years old.After that?You also need to recruit volunteers.Jinqi, I know exploring space is your biggest dream, but do you really think it's worth it?Or, can you slow down a little bit, you can lay the groundwork for the successors in your era, and then pass the follow-up work to your successors. "

"We don't know anything about extraterrestrial civilizations. But I have a very strange feeling that the 'creator' gives special favor to us earthlings. You know that the 'creator' I'm talking about is not a god of any religion, It's the law of the entire universe." Lin Jinqi put away the report, and then locked the drawer where the report was received with a password.

"The earth is the cradle bestowed by the Creator to mankind. This cradle is so comfortable that we humans don't even want to grow up. Because for us humans, as long as we humans don't die, it seems that the civilization of the earth can exist forever Go on. Of course, with the advancement of science, we also know that earth civilization cannot escape the "collapse" or "extinction" of the universe in any case; then we found that the life of the sun seems to be limited; and then we found that Our sun seems to have a brother who appears and disappears, and every time this companion star of the sun, which we call "Nemesis", reappears, it is the time when the earth's ecology restarts.

Although these are scary, our science also tells us that whether it is the "collapse" of the universe, the "extinction" or the "death" of the sun, it is too far away from us, and the "Nemesis Star" has not yet Being observed by us, so can we continue to carnival again?But the current astronomical research has given us two swords of Damocles.

The first sword of Damocles is the η star in Carinae, which we Chinese people are used to calling Haishan Er.According to the current observation results, Eta Carinae will probably become a hypernova at the end of its life, so at the moment of its eruption, the energy and gamma rays it produces may be the maximum since human beings have astronomical observations.More importantly, Eta Carinae is only 7500 light-years away from Earth.On the scale of the universe, a supernova explosion at this distance is tantamount to dropping an atomic | bomb right next door to us.

And what makes us most incredible is that the rotation axis of this star has been aligned with our solar system.You should also know that when an old star explodes into a new star, its gamma-ray burst point is near its axis of rotation.To put it simply, Etamount [-] has become a star cannon of Eta Carinae, and the muzzle of this cannon is aimed at our solar system.

According to estimates, the second pole of the seamount may erupt in the next 10000 to 20000 years; of course, it may erupt yesterday, but I still need to wait 7800 years to know whether it has erupted.And by the time we knew it had erupted, its gamma rays had swept across the entire solar system.Of course, we can bet that the eruption of Eta Carinae is not that strong, and we can also bet that there is still a deviation between the rotation axis of Eta Carinae and the solar system, or even bet that the gamma rays decay halfway or are blocked by something.However, do you think it is correct for the entire earth civilization to face the universe in a gambling way?

Let's put the matter of Haishan 8462852 aside for the time being. After all, this is a natural event, and there is nothing we can do if we are anxious.But what about the second Sword of Damocles, the KIC8462852 star?This is currently recognized by the astronomical community as the most likely planet to discover advanced intelligent alien life.We know that KIC8462852 is not a variable star, and as a star, its spectrum will not change due to itself.However, according to the continuous observation of the international astronomical community, KIC8462852 has aperiodic brightness dips.If it is a periodic dip in brightness, we can explain it as being blocked by a planet orbiting it.But the problem is, it's non-cyclical, and it goes down and then doesn't go back up.So one of the more reliable hypotheses is that there is a huge man-made project near KIC[-].And this man-made project is very likely to be the 'Dyson sphere' guessed by our earthlings.

The Dyson sphere may be the most daring energy collection project of mankind, that is, to surround a star with a huge artificial project, so that all the energy generated by the star can be collected and used.Of course, with the current level of technology and industry of human beings, the Dyson sphere can only be imagined.But just near the KIC1480 star 8462852 light-years away from Earth, a real Dyson sphere is being built.

Xingzi, don't you think it's scary?For an alien supercivilization capable of building a Dyson sphere, 1480 light-years is as simple as going from my office to yours.And compared to them, we may not even be as good as monkeys, maybe we are just paramecium in their eyes?Xingzi, do you care about the life of a paramecium?Although I don't think the alien civilization of KIC8462852 will deliberately obliterate the civilization of the earth, but in case someone accidentally makes a mistake one day, do you think they will consider our existence value?It's like children burning ants to death with a match. Will they feel pity for those ants? "

Liu Xing was silent for a while, and finally he said: "I think you should save this plan as the 'doomsday plan'. Maybe when the human beings really come to that day, they will think of your project. Whether or not we can carry out this project is really not something you and I can worry about. We work hard to develop now, which is worthy of future humans. As for the future of future humans, that is something they should worry about.”

"That's right, in fact, instead of worrying about the supernova explosion of Eta Carinae 8462852 or the super intelligent civilization at KIC[-], I might as well worry about the nuclear war on the earth." Lin Jinqi said with a smile, "Since the United States has a new president, I always worry about it. It feels like the United States has entered a second puberty, and everything is messed up under the influence of hormones. You also know that adult hooligans are not terrible, but the scary ones are always those punks who haven't grown up. After all, adult hooligans do things I will think about my interests before, but those gangsters dare to use knives at every turn. And the president of this gangster in the United States not only has knives, but also nuclear | bombs, so maybe my Phoenix has not been put on the agenda, we You'll have to deal with World War III that he started."

Politicians in most countries were not too prepared for Donald's success in power.Of course, as an alternative, everyone has also tried to simulate the relevant policies that Donald will implement after he becomes the President of the United States.Lin Jinqi naturally read the relevant reports, but he complained silently in his heart, you think this president is too simple.

Like President Grove, Donald presents himself as a typical white American who is stupid and arrogant.But for the middle class and low-income groups in the United States, such an American president meets their expectations.Many people say that Donald has low IQ, low EQ and no management experience, but everyone seems to forget that he is one of the richest men in the United States, owns one of the largest real estate companies in the United States, and he seems to be quite powerful in love .So he certainly has no shortage of IQ, EQ and management experience. What he shows to the outside world now is just what he wants to show to outsiders.

However, there are traces of many of Donald's behaviors. For example, he loves to show off and likes to stand with the strong, so it is not difficult to see that Donald still has a good impression of the leaders of Russia and China.After all, in the eyes of Americans, the only ones who can stand side by side with the US president are the leaders of Russia and China.At the same time, where is showing off?On the one hand, he challenged the North Korean issue, which has not been resolved by previous US presidents; on the other hand, he decided to undermine the Iranian issue, which has not been easily stabilized by previous US presidents.

Perhaps for the businessman-turned-TV personality-turned-President of the United States, this is a super reality show that is super-large and difficult to replicate.Not only does he have to perform hard, but all the politicians and entrepreneurs who love other countries also come in and perform together.At the same time, this reality show will be broadcast on all TV channels around the world. Is this an unprecedented reality show in the history of media?At least, that's pretty much what Donald thought.

"Don't forget, about the task of recycling platinum. I heard that you have done a lot in the platinum futures market recently, which caused the quotations of CME Group's precious metal futures to fluctuate greatly." Liu Xing reminded, "Don't play it off and let the SEC find you."

"Don't worry, if this kind of speculation can alarm the SEC in the United States, then CME Group will close its doors as soon as possible." Lin Jinqi replied, "Besides CME Group, I also trade in the London Metal Market and Singapore Futures The market has hedged, so there is not such a high risk. After all, I am accumulating wealth for the country, and the methods I choose are relatively safe.”

"There is another thing, I think you may need to know. Someone from the Military Aircraft Department came up with a 'Super Soldier Project', saying that modern bioengineering should be used to cultivate 'soldier kings' with better physical fitness. So They are trying to take away the 'mitochondria research project' from Xuanwu Group's biological laboratory. However, this application was rejected by General Wang, and General Wang was called by the Military Aircraft Department to explain in detail. I think this matter still makes you It’s better to know, because you have always been the person in charge of this project.” Liu Xing said, “However, what I am more puzzled about is why the progress of this research project is so slow? This is why the other party’s super soldier research project team criticized us the most. place, what do you think now?"
