196. An important issue that has been neglected in the trend of basic scientific research in the world

【Abstract】From the perspective of modern history and modern history, there are two modes of transforming scientific basic theoretical research results into practical technology: gradual and sudden.

Progressive type: Basic theoretical achievements are gradually transformed into applied technologies, technologies are gradually accumulated, and finally breakthroughs are produced.Recent examples include developments and breakthroughs in aerospace technology.

Mutant type: Basic theoretical achievements are quickly transformed into practical technologies, resulting in technological mutations.The most recent example is the emergence of nuclear weapons. Until the 40s, some of the best physicists believed that it would never be possible to release atomic energy. However, nuclear weapons suddenly appeared in a very short period of time, and the transformation span from basic science to applied technology It is extremely large and the time is extremely short. We define it as a technological mutation.

At present, NATO and the Warsaw Pact Group have unprecedentedly active basic research and huge investment, so one or more technological mutations may occur at any time, which will pose a major threat to our strategic planning.

The article believes that our current eyes are mainly focused on the gradual development of technology, but we have not paid enough attention to the possible technological mutation.From a strategic perspective, a complete set of strategies and principles should be formulated to correctly respond when technological mutations occur.

The article lists the areas most likely to experience technological mutations:

1. Physics: [omitted]

2. Biology: [omitted]

3. Computer Science: [omitted]

4. Searching for alien civilizations: This is the most variable field among all possible technological mutations, and it is very likely to produce sudden and huge breakthroughs. Once a technological mutation in this field occurs, its influence will exceed the technological mutations in the above three fields Sum.

[Instructions] Print and distribute this article, and organize discussions within an appropriate scope.The point of view of the article may not suit some people's appetite, but don't take it for granted, the key depends on the author's long-term thinking.Some comrades are now blinded by the general environment, and many people are self-righteous.This is not good, the blind spot in the strategic vision is dangerous.In my opinion, among the four fields mentioned in the article that may produce technological mutations, the last one is the least considered by us. It is worth noting that it should be studied systematically and deeply.

[-]. Research Report on the Possibility of Alien Civilization Exploration Technology Mutation

1. Current international research trends 【Abstract】

(1) The United States and other NATO countries: the science and necessity of alien civilization exploration have been widely recognized, and the academic atmosphere is strong; the OZMA plan: in 1960, the Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia, USA, used a diameter of 26 meters The radio telescope to explore alien civilization, single-channel reception, frequency 1420 MHz, the search target τ Ceti and ε Eridan, the search time is about 200 hours; the OZMAⅡ plan is planned to be implemented in 1972 to expand the search target, frequency and scope In the same year, it is planned to launch the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 probes, each carrying a metal card with information on Earth civilization; it is planned to launch the Voyager 1977 and Voyager 1 probes in 2, which will carry metal records ;In 1963, the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico was built, which is of great significance for the exploration of alien civilization. The total area of ​​its energy collection is about 20 acres, which is larger than the sum of the area of ​​energy collection of all other radio telescopes in the world. It cooperates with the computer system, It can monitor 65000 channels at the same time, and has a super-powerful transmission function.

(2) The Soviet Union: There are fewer sources of intelligence information, but there are signs that it has invested heavily in this field. Compared with NATO countries, the research is more systematic and long-term planning.It is learned from some sporadic information sources that it is currently planning to build a global-scale synthetic aperture radio telescope system based on very long baseline interferometry technology. Once the system is completed, it will have the strongest deep space detection capability in the world.

2. Preliminary analysis of social forms of extraterrestrial civilizations by using historical materialism [omitted]

3. Preliminary analysis of extraterrestrial civilizations on human social and political tendencies [omitted]

4. Preliminary analysis of the impact of possible contact with extraterrestrial civilizations on the current world pattern
(1) One-way contact (only receiving information sent by alien civilization) [omitted]

(2) Two-way contact (communication and direct contact with alien civilizations) [omitted]

5. The dangers and consequences of superpowers being the first to contact extraterrestrial civilizations and monopolizing contact
(1) Analysis of the consequences of US imperialism and NATO first contacting and monopolizing contact with alien civilizations [unclassified]

(2) Analysis of the consequences of Soviet revisionism and the Warsaw Pact Group being the first to contact alien civilizations and monopolizing contact [unclassified]

[Remarks] The briefing has been read.People have already shouted to the outside of the earth. It is dangerous for the alien society to only hear one voice. We should also make our own voice, so that what they hear is the complete voice of human society.This thing needs to be done quickly.

Top secret, number of copies of the original: 2; content summary form a document: Zhongfa □□□□□, forwarded to the relevant departments of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and forwarded to the National Defense Department of the Central Planning Commission, and at the □□□□□□□ meeting and □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ Meetings,

Project serial number: 3760; National defense code: Red Bank
1. General outline [Summary]

Search for possible alien civilizations and try to establish contact and communication.

2. Theoretical research on the Red Bank Project 【Abstract】

(1) Search monitoring

监听频率范围：1000兆赫至40000兆赫，监听频道数：15000；重点监测：氢原子频率1420兆赫、羟基分子辐射频率1667兆赫、水分子辐射频率22000兆赫。

Monitoring target range: 1000 light-year radius, about 2000 million stars.See Annex 1 for the target list;

(2) Information sending

Transmission frequency: 2800 MHz, 12000 MHz, 22000 MHz
Sending power: 10-25 MW
Sending target: 200 light-year radius, about 10 stars.See attachment 2 for the target list
(3) Development of Hongan self-interpretation system

Introductory part: Based on the basic mathematical and physical principles common in the universe, establish a basic language metacode system that can be understood by any civilization that has mastered basic algebra, basic Euclidean geometry, and basic laws of low-speed physics.

Based on the above-mentioned metacode system, supplemented by low-resolution graphic examples, a language system is gradually established. Languages: Chinese, Esperanto.

系统整体信息量为680KB，在2800兆赫、12000兆赫、22000兆赫波段上的发送时间分别为1183分钟、224分钟和132分钟。

3. Red Bank Project Implementation Plan
(1) Preliminary design scheme of the Hongan search and monitoring system [undeclassified]

(2) Preliminary design scheme of Red Bank information transmission system [undeclassified]

(3) Preliminary plan for site selection of Hong'an search and monitoring base and information transmission base [omitted]

(4) Preliminary conception of forming the Second Artillery Red Coast Unit [Unclassified]

4. Contents of information sent by Hongan [Summary]

地球行星概况（3.1KB）、地球生命系统概况（4.4KB）、人类社会概况（4.6KB）、世界历史基本信息（5.4KB），全部信息量为17.5KB。全部信息在自译解系统之后发射，在2800兆赫、12000兆赫、22000兆赫波段上的发送时间分别为31分钟、7.5分钟和3.5分钟。

Sending information should be strictly reviewed by multiple disciplines to ensure that it does not contain any coordinate information of the solar system in the Milky Way.Among the three transmission frequencies, the high-frequency transmissions of 12000 MHz and 22000 MHz should be minimized to reduce the possibility of being located.

[-]. Letters sent by alien civilizations
First draft [full text]

Please pay attention to the world that has received the above message, the message you have received is sent by a country that represents revolutionary justice on earth!Before this, you may have received a message from the same direction, which was sent by an imperialist superpower on the planet, which is vying for world supremacy with another superpower on the planet, in an attempt to push back human history.I hope you will not listen to their lies and stand on the side of justice and the side of revolution!
[Instructions] I have read it, but it doesn't make sense!It is enough to paste the big-character posters on the ground, do not post them in the sky, and the leading group of the Cultural Revolution should not intervene in Hong'an in the future.Such an important letter should be carefully drafted. It is best to set up a special group and discuss and approve it at a Politburo meeting.

Best wishes to the world that receives this message.

Through the following information, you will have a basic understanding of Earth civilization.After a long period of labor and creation, human beings have established a splendid civilization, a rich and colorful culture has emerged, and a preliminary understanding of the laws of the operation and development of nature and human society. We cherish all of these.

But our world still has great flaws. There are hatred, prejudice and wars. Due to the contradiction between productivity and production relations, the distribution of wealth is seriously uneven. A considerable number of human members live in poverty and misery.

Human society is working hard to solve various difficulties and problems it faces, and strive to create a bright future for earth civilization.The cause of the country sending the message is part of that effort.We are committed to building an ideal society, so that the labor and value of every human member are fully respected, so that the material and spiritual needs of all people are fully satisfied, and the earth civilization becomes a more perfect civilization.

With good wishes, we look forward to establishing connections with other civilizations in the universe, and looking forward to working with you to create a better life in the vast universe.

V. Relevant Policies and Strategies
1. Research on policies and strategies after receiving information from extraterrestrial civilizations [omitted]

2. Research on policies and strategies after establishing contact with extraterrestrial civilizations [omitted]

[Instructions] It is very necessary to take the next step in the busy schedule. This project reminds us of many things that we have never dreamed of before. These things can only be figured out when we stand at a new height. In this regard, Red Bank already has a lot of meaning.If there are really other people and societies in the universe, that would be great too. The onlookers will be clear about the merits and crimes of thousands of years, but someone will really comment on them.
