Chapter 88 A Long Journey

Of course, Say's attitude is similar to that of the academic world, and naturally she doesn't care about the opinions of those idiots in the accident world, so she went up to say hello, "Hey, Professor Shen, long time no see."

"Chairman Say?" Professor Shen looked back to see the visitor and said in surprise: "It's been a long time, I remember the last time we met, it was before I went to the Ray Diaz research team."

"Yes, I read your geocurrent theory at the PDC scientific research department. By the way, you are working on the Wannian Yandi ship?" Sai said casually.

"I am the leader of the geological exploration team on the Wannian Yandi." Professor Shen paused and said, "On the day after Rey Diaz died, the Venezuelan government deported me."

"They really don't welcome me, Rey Diaz's running dog. If I wasn't Venezuelan, I would probably have to go to a Venezuelan court."

"But even though I was not tried in court, these bastards still deported me without hesitation, so I had to go back to work in the PDC scientific research department."

"That's their loss. The PDC Research Department welcomes you." Sai said casually.

It is indeed not a wise decision to expel Professor Shen. Venezuela's prosperity is largely based on Professor Shen's technology.

"About this matter, let me say something politically incorrect. I really regret Rey Diaz's death. Although he was an irrational lunatic, he really supported my project."

"And unlike those bureaucrats who pretend to be smart, Rey Diaz never does things for laymen to guide experts. Such a good boss is really hard to find." Professor Shen said with emotion.

"It's like coal bosses making movies in the past, right? They give the most money, and they won't interfere with the director's work." Said.

"I didn't expect you to know this allusion." Professor Shen smiled and said, "If you ask me, Rey Diaz's achievements are the same as the Great Wall and the Pyramids. Time will make his so-called crimes irrelevant."

After finishing speaking, Professor Shen pointed to the high-voltage tower in the distance and said, "Compared to the great geoelectric industry of Ray Diaz, those crying Meng Jiangnus all over the world are just a bunch of jokes."

"The premise is that in the future, humans defeat the three-body invaders." Sai reminded.

"That's right. There will be no more human beings in the future, and Trisolarans probably won't remember the super project of earth currents." Professor Shen sneered.

"Are you a defeatist?" Sai asked curiously.

"Yes, in my opinion, human beings are too short-sighted and stupid. Our future is to be wiped out by Trisolarans. This war is a joke." Professor Shen said without any concealment.

"Although I am a victoryist, I can understand the thoughts of defeatists. After all, the enemy is too powerful." Sai sighed.

Trisolarans are indeed so powerful that it is hopeless, even in this defense universe, they are equally powerful, and a few small sophons have locked the future of mankind.

If Sai hadn't known the laws of the dark forest, she would not have any hope of victory.

"In fact, people in academia, especially in theoretical physics, are basically defeatists. They are people who work on the microcosm and even the ultramicrocosm. These people know the technical level of the Trisolarans better than I do."

"Let's talk about space this time. Now the international community is stricter on defeatism, and it's hard to guarantee that it will involve academia." Sai suggested.

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to go to space anyway. I don't think I'll be able to come back after more than ten years. The international community can treat me whatever they want." Professor Shen said indifferently.

Say thought for a while and found that this is also the case. The maximum speed of the Wannian Yandi is only one-thousandth of the speed of light. Even at this speed, it would take more than a day to go to Venus.

At the same time, the exploration work of each planet is carried out in units of months, and more than half a year has to be used to investigate Venus and Mercury.

Similarly, it is impossible for the Wannian Yandi to just go and never return. It will take a few days to return to Earth from Mercury, and this is only the beginning of this exploration activity.

After refueling in Earth's low-Earth orbit, Wannian Yandi will fly to the outer planets of the solar system to explore the remaining five planets.

Considering that there are so many exploration targets in the outer layers of the solar system, the Wannian Yandi needs to decelerate and accelerate frequently, and it also needs energy to maintain the operation of the ecosystem for more than ten years.

Therefore, the speed of the Wannian Yandi is at most one ten-thousandth of the speed of light, and the farthest Neptune is more than one billion kilometers away from the earth.

This means that it will take four or five years for the Wannian Yandi to pass, and it will take many years to explore these planets or return to Earth from Neptune.

Therefore, Professor Shen's ten years is not an exaggeration. The PDC think tank estimates that the Wannian Yandi can complete the exploration of the solar system, which is about 15 years.

15 years is indeed a long time, so from a certain point of view, Professor Shen doesn't care about the future.

"Professor Shen, this means that you will spend more than ten years in the Wannian Yandi. Why did you choose to set foot on this spaceship?" Sai asked after thinking about this.

"Well, let's talk about Ray Diaz. He helped me a lot, but because of his crazy actions, I, the "accomplice", was also implicated in it, and I was notorious."

"My colleague at the Royal Academy of Sciences told me that he knew a piece of insider news in Western academia, that is, I should have been the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics.

"But the European Union put pressure on the Nobel Committee for political reasons to refuse to award me the award, saying that it is an insult to Nobel to award the award to the dictator's lackey."

"As a result, the Chinese Academy of Sciences revoked my academician title, removed me from the Institute of Geography, and even canceled my doctorate from the university I attended."

"So I thought that since the earth society doesn't like me so much, I have no choice but to go to space and study alien worlds." Professor Shen smiled.

Then the two chatted for a while, during which Professor Shen told Say about the history of the Wannian Yandi.

Contrary to what most people think, the Wannian Yandi was not jointly built by many countries, but was built by Hua Guo alone, but the Wannian Yandi was donated to the PDC.

Not many people knew the inside story of this incident, and even Professor Shen didn't know why this incident happened. Say was one of the few people present who knew the details.

However, what Professor Shen knows is that in the aerospace industry of China, the idea of ​​the Wannian Yandi has quite a history, and it can be regarded as an antique-level existence.
