The end of technology.

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.

But it is still very troublesome.

"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.

But apparently there are no such problems at this base.

That's right, Ning Zi's students are not in the management sequence of the base, and naturally they will not compete for the resources inside the scientific research base.When they need the cooperation of the scientific research base, they can issue tasks through the scientific research system.Just like Chen Luo's nuclear fusion project, he won the support of the base.

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

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.

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

"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?"

"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."

This at least proves that the artificial intelligence management system is more scientific and efficient than human management in the small area of ​​the scientific research base.The addition of various incentive policies has also kept the entire research base extremely vigorous.

For example, Zhuo Mingqian, Chen Yonggang, and a few base directors.But it can only affect, nothing more than adding some points to the distribution weight. If it touches the penalty regulations designed by artificial intelligence, it is said that you can only find Ning Zi to modify the system background decision.For example, it involves unfair internal competition or suppression of achievements, which is one of the most taboo behaviors against artificial intelligence.

"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?"

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

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

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.

The space age is actually similar.

But so far, Ning Zi has never spoken out for any punitive decision, so this only loophole can only be rumored.

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.

Take Wu Gang, which seems to be the oldest and has the most primitive facilities, as an example.If you want to have a laboratory of about 2000 square meters on the Wu Gang, the rent alone will cost nearly [-] million Huaxia coins a month.This is only the most basic cost, not including the cost of leasing or transporting various research instruments to the Wu Gang.

"Huh? I want to go home."

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.

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

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

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.

"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."

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

"Goodbye."

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.

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.

too difficult!
……

"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."

This is the project involving interstellar...

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Zhuo."

"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?"

……

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

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.

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.

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.

As for how academician Ning, who protects his shortcomings, decides how his family or his students will not be affected by this system, it is actually very simple, that is, not to join the scientific research system of the base.

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

……

The current base no longer needs to cast a wide net to find scientists to settle in. In fact, on the contrary, the base will release about ten to one hundred places around the world every year, and then receive at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people to settle in. Applicants, many of whom are scientists working in world-renowned laboratories, are finally systematically selected based on their three to five years of scientific research success.

Take this kind of thing as her graduation project?

"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."

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

Therefore, the day when the base releases quotas every year has been ridiculed by the Chinese as the college entrance examination for the world's scientific research community.No way, having a lab at the base is the easiest way to have labs in each Battlestar.

What's even more irritating is that even if the rent is paid, when the laboratory dispatches personnel to shuttle between the Wu Gang and the earth, they have to charge additional tickets.Therefore, for a personal laboratory, if there is no mine at home, it is definitely not affordable.What is even more frustrating is that, in order to ensure safety, research equipment and instruments that are not on the official approval list need to go through more than ten safety reviews before they can be sent to the ship.

However, if it is a laboratory provided by the base, not only are all the above fees free, but also a full set of supporting laboratory equipment and instruments can be provided. Even if new equipment is needed, it can be passed through the unique channels of the base to simplify the approval process.

There is no way, in this era, research that breaks away from the theme of space is basically out of date.At this time, human beings all over the world have been whetted by space immigration, and the most concerned technology news is about the progress of the great cause of space immigration.The collective will in the context of the era has basically taken shape, and any person or organization that holds different opinions can only be a praying mantis.

Especially when the Mars transformation plan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when the earth immigration is just around the corner, countless people hope to get a share of this great era when it officially opens.So no matter how high the price is, countless people flock to it.

The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, but the operating rules of the world's most cost-effective have never changed. Rare things are more expensive, so monopoly can maximize profits.
