Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1280 Astronaut Selection

"We are clearly working for the imperial court, why are you acting like we are in the Tiandihui?"

Shangluo received a lot of replies from different channels. Some sent formal written letters, some called, and some, like Lu Huaiyang, came on their own.

He came to Shangluo mainly to see if he had rebelled. When he heard that he had not rebelled, he left.

"So why can't Captain Lu come to help at such a critical moment?"

[Do me a favor - I want to go to the moon with you. Don't you think this request is a bit too complicated?]

"I feel safe and everyone will be fine."

[I think you should convince me first. At least now I don't really want to go to the moon with you. I think the earth is pretty good, I don't want to go anywhere. ]

“Actually, no one wants to go.”

Shangluo looked at the written letter. The previous call was also kept on file.

Everyone basically expressed that "they are very interested in the court's secret organization, but feel that going to the moon still needs further discussion."

"So last moon was that difficult?"

[Shangluo. I think it may be because someone has already landed on the moon in your place. But here, the moon is still a completely unfamiliar land to everyone. Most people have not even seen the moon through a telescope. And throughout the ages, there are too many myths related to the moon. So the proposal to go to the moon is more like a dreamland than a scientific exploration. ]

"I know this will happen. But how can we make this plan seem more reliable?"

[There is a way, actually—first, you either have to find a dog to do the experiment on.]

"That's probably a bit difficult, because it's hard for me to find a Foundation Establishment Stage dog to lead the team to carry out the mission now - although the Qi Training Stage is indeed enough, I still think that this kind of mission must be led by at least a celestial being to be safe."

[Is it okay for a panda?]

"That one isn't very good. Pandas are meant to be pampered, after all. Dogs are more resolute when it comes to following orders."

[Then, there is a second plan - we should at least send an unmanned probe up there first.]

"You see, this is the more difficult problem. It would be much easier for us to send a celestial being up there now than to send one unmanned controlled device. Because there are only 0 such devices, but there are several celestial beings including me."

[So now, manned spacecraft is more convenient than unmanned spacecraft, right?]

"After all, unmanned spacecraft simulates a system for collecting and processing signals. And here in Daming."

There is almost no point here.

Although the Ming Dynasty had quite complex mechanical computers, they were too easy to use, and people were even easier to use, so semiconductor technology was just starting to take off until Shangluo came. At present, places where electronic computers are widely used still use magnetic flux lines for programming.

In other words - circuits, yes. But integrated circuits, no.

A large number of electronic devices are in bulk, as big as a room, while small, integrated, modular chips, circuit boards, etc., currently only remain in the laboratory.

This is one of the few technologies that the Ming Dynasty has no breakthroughs in. Even Shangluo can't find a foothold to climb up.

"So it seems that in order to successfully complete the mission, we can only think of some last-minute solutions." [For example?]

"For example, I'll ask Senior Fu to let him make the round trip alone."

"Wait, let me go? Shangluo, shouldn't you climb the technology tree at this time? For example, make some chips by hand."

"It's not as convenient to make chips by hand as to ask for help. As long as you, Senior Fu, are put into the cockpit, you can operate the whole process manually, all the way to the moon. You don't even need a life support system, just bring you an oxygen tank. Anyway, you don't need to eat, right? You don't need to go to the toilet either."

"Don't really describe this situation! The more you talk about it, the more cramped I feel. You plan to lock me in a small box for two or three days, then let me take a photo on the moon, and then close the door and drive the small box all the way back, right?"

"I think so."

"I don't think this is going to work - and why me?"

"Because I don't have time. I'm busy raising the Heavenly Army."

"I can lead, I can join, but I refuse to go alone. Period."

Fu Yuanshan was not angry. Shangluo called him to the imperial kitchen, and he happened to go upstairs to take a few baskets of food back, so he would have food for the next few days.

“Sure enough, this breakthrough has already raised ethical issues.”

Shang Lu discovered the problem - this was not a technical problem. Everyone knew that it was technically feasible. After all, these Qigong practitioners were superhuman. Even if the spacecraft leaked or the temperature suddenly dropped from -80°C to 150°C, no one would die in a short period of time.

If there were only celestial beings on the ship, it would not be impossible to follow Shangluo's suggestion of "carrying an oxygen tank to the moon". After all, Bigu fasting was not difficult for celestial beings, and Shangluo himself was not incapable of the challenge, but he really did not want to fast himself.

[You can't go alone. If you go alone, I'll go with you reluctantly. ]

"Wait, there is actually a solution. There is actually another person we can ask."

A few minutes later.

"Oh, Shangluo. Long time no see." Gao Shiyu from Beizhili answered the phone, "There's been a lot of activity over there lately. But soon, we'll become alumni too. Then we can see each other more often."

"Alumni? Are you coming to the Imperial College too?"

"Not really. I'm planning to go to the Northern Imperial College. There are Imperial Colleges in both the Northern and Southern capitals. Although the two Imperial Colleges are located in two different places, they are actually the same school, with different departments. There is still only one principal, Mr. Wen. As students of the Imperial College, we only have the opportunity to meet each other a few times a year."

"I remember that this wasn't your original aspiration?"

"Indeed, but I have changed now - I can see now! Then of course I will pursue my own future! I will not let them control me anymore!"

"So what did you learn?"

"Painting! I want to sign up for the painting class at the Imperial College!"

"Is it the Imperial College's Painting Department?"

[The Imperial Academy has all kinds of courses, and you can choose your own combination of courses. As long as you have enough credits for a certain degree, you can apply to graduate with that degree. It seems that there are indeed some courses that, if you choose all of them, you can be admitted with your grades in other areas, and then specialize in painting in the school. ]
