Voyage of the Stars

Yi Kai is an activist, and they all watched the meetings to promote the new collider plan. However, they had never found a suitable opportunity before. Now that things have developed to this point, he believes that the time is ripe.

So, after making some plans with Liu Miyan, he started to take action.

First, contact some well-known experts and scholars in the scientific community, and through their influence or direct power, ask the relevant publicity departments to consciously publicize the meeting on promoting the new particle collider plan to the society, and address the issue of meeting efficiency. Create and guide public opinion.

Yes, after all, this is a society that advocates science and puts science first. Being a scientist is not only a profession that is respected by people, but also has clear rights.

After the public opinion fermented, Yi Kai and others also came out at the right time to make relevant and directional remarks to express their positions. For example, it starts with criticizing the efficiency of meetings, and then extends to the shortcomings of this meeting system and the problems that exist in today's human society.

To sum it up in one sentence, instead of this kind of wrangling, there must be a strong voice to take up matters related to the development of mankind.

I would rather embark on a path of trial and error with a strong voice than see human beings waste precious time on meaningless internal friction.

Reduce internal friction and concentrate on doing big things.

In this way, with the help of many parties, people finally realized the seriousness of the problem. They realized that maybe human beings have lived so comfortably in recent years that they have forgotten how they struggled to survive in the first place. Or maybe they have not encountered outsiders for a long time. When the stars are in crisis, most people forget that this is the universe, not the blue cradle.

Internal strife and internal strife can be regarded as one of human traditions, which has never been discontinued since ancient times. The relationship between people is especially true in society and within a company. Things that can be explained in two sentences must be held in an hour-long meeting, which is meaningless internal friction.

Of course, sometimes you really explain something clearly in two sentences, but the listeners just don't take it seriously. They have to hold a meeting for an hour or two to incorporate formalism into the speech, and then they will take the matter seriously. .

People are just so weird.

In the age of the earth, it was also called involution, and everyone rolled up against each other until they could no longer roll up.

And here in the interstellar age, after humans felt that they were out of the existential crisis, this situation also appeared.

However, the matter did not get out of hand. After public opinion fermented to a certain extent, Yue Yuan came out to clean up the mess.

He has always seen this matter, just waiting for a good opportunity. Now that people in the scientific community are so cooperative, he will naturally not beat around the bush.

Yue Yuan directly notified the convening of a high-level meeting, and then, accompanied by Many Yuemei, Bu Guiyu, and Zhu Pite, directly announced on the podium that the voting meeting on the new collider organized by Liu Miyan was cancelled.

Then it was announced that the new collider plan would start from now on.

Of course, Yue Yuan did not explain anything. Facing the noisy venue after hearing the announcement, Yue Yuan raised his hands and pressed them. When the noise subsided, he said: "Colleagues, whether we want it or not I would like to believe that the development facts of more than five hundred years tell us that our science has really stagnated."

"We have reached the end of the field of true nanotechnology. Basic physics has stopped moving forward. The grand unified theory is only in the conjecture stage. We have no way to study it through experiments.

In this case, we can either continue like this and wait for a miracle to happen. Of course, we may stop here, or we can be crazy and give all mankind a chance. Even if it is wrong, we must try, at least for future generations to try. Take the wrong path. "

"We are no longer the ignorant civilization that just came out of the solar system. We have experienced so much and come into contact with so many alien civilizations. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of civilization levels. Yes, from level 3 civilization to level 4 civilization, it is the same The big threshold is that before Level 4, it was generally called aerospace-level civilization, and when it reaches Level 4, it is called interstellar-level civilization.

Among the civilizations we encountered, except for the Awakeners, they were all aerospace-level civilizations, that is, low-level civilizations. Many civilizations collapsed here. The existence we looked up to at the beginning - the Mok Star civilization, they have become extinct. It also failed to step into the ranks of fourth-level civilization.

I don’t want us to follow in the footsteps of the Moke civilization, and I don’t want us humans to develop into the fallen civilization described by the awakeners in the future, so the new collider plan is imperative! "

After a pause, Yue Yuan thought of a strategy to drink water out of habit, but found that this was a virtual venue.

After coughing slightly, he continued: "Of course, the launch of the new collider plan today does not mean that mining will start immediately after the meeting. First of all, we understand that such a supercomputer is an extraordinary engineering and physics project. It is a tool to expand the limits of our understanding of science and technology.

Such a creation cannot be built immediately. We need all scientists and engineers to design it first and solve the problems that may be encountered during construction. This may take a long time, and after that, you can't just find a starry sky and do it, at least not in this star field. I believe everyone understands the reason. "

I understand, of course I understand.

Most scientists and engineers know this well.

Of course, what is inappropriate is not that this star field is a place where humans search for the remains of extraterrestrial civilizations, but that this star field is too empty and the distance between stars is too large. If it is built here, it will cause mining The problem is that the distance is too long, which only increases the cost.

As for the various social problems caused by mining in several star systems at the same time, experts recommend using multiple strong artificial intelligence combinations and taking turns to be on duty. This method had already been proposed when Liu Miyan was promoting this matter.

Humanity must first find a resource-rich star system and ensure that the stars around this star system are relatively close. Then, using this star system as a base, send out strong artificial intelligence and on-duty personnel to dig up the surrounding star systems.

In order to ensure mining safety and solve rotation problems, the human fleet will regularly patrol each mining area and replace the personnel on duty.

As for the search for the remains of extraterrestrial civilizations, humans have been searching for more than five hundred years. Although they have not searched all of this star field, they have set foot in most of the star systems.

Indeed nothing was found.

In order to appease the tenacity of those who insist on searching to the end, Yue Yuan also personally chose a route to the star-dense area. This route starts from where humans are and will pass through eight stars that have not been explored before in this star field. .

However, Yue Yuan did not hold out any hope for this. He felt that the so-called alien civilization relics either did not exist, or the Chiyan civilization itself was deceived by such false information that came from unknown sources.
