Spore Story

Chapter 802 Planning for the Future: The Meeting is Busy
==========
The first day of the technology conference was led to a small climax by the illusory speeches. From morning to night, the participants almost enjoyed their lunch and dinner at the venue. Although the food tasted very good, the people present Not in the mood to savor it carefully.

At the beginning, some people suggested to play some relaxing music in the interval to soothe everyone's emotions, but within half a minute, they were turned off by this group of guys with no artistic appreciation on the grounds that they needed quietness, and a few wanted to listen to it. It's impossible to resist the meaning of everyone.

However, the topic on the first day mainly focused on 'whether the scientific research of the friends should be more detailed and regulated'.

And after a day of debate, the result is nothing more than 'research needs to serve the whole, but whether the main technology should be established still needs to be verified'.Everyone could see that this result was not satisfactory, so after the meeting ended, the crowd quickly gathered into small groups, and the topics not only did not decrease, but increased.

Kong Huan, Lingxue and others also gathered into such a small group, but the conversation was not about technology.

……

Stepping on the green grass exuding the fragrance of the earth, walking on the road to the elder's exclusive dormitory building, under the moonlight, the path is full of shadows, a bit strange and a bit refreshing.

"It's been a day, is there any new news from the Sea Clan?"

"Unreal, this is not a battle between us and the Zerg. It changes every minute. With the information transmission speed of the Crocodile Clan, it takes a few days to go back and forth. Up to now, the King of the Crocodile Clan still controls the troops, and The Dolphins are more than a day away from the king's line of defense."

"So, there is still something to watch after a while?"

"Maybe, but this day is not without gains. The God Envoy team is still divided, led by Xiaoxue, and the team formed by Chi Yan and Dunjia Mengkong is approaching the porpoise clan. , the Dolphins seem somewhat similar to the Eldar from many years ago."

"mind control?"

"That's only on the surface. In fact, the people who observed it said that it was a bit different, because they felt that the dolphins don't have such strong mental power, so they shouldn't be able to control so many things. But they couldn't tell the specific reason for a while, so We can only wait for further research.”

"Oh."

Since getting in touch with the Sea Clan, the Peng Clan has mobilized two small floating islands specially designed as communication relays, allowing them to float a few kilometers above the territory of the Crocodile Clan and the Dolphin Clan. A floating submarine is used as a second-stage relay, so the people of the Crocodile Clan can directly connect to the network of the Friends Clan from the bottom of the sea, but the porpoise Clan can only go up to the surface of the sea.

As for the proposal to let the communication relay floating island hear the sea surface become a floating island, considering the occasional storm on the ocean, it was not approved.

Regarding the problems of the Sea Clan, although Kong Huan still cared about them after leaving, he no longer paid much attention to them, so he quickly shifted away from the Sea Clan's thinking.

Afterwards, he was surrounded by a group of researchers.

"Elder Kong Huan, can I ask you about your attitude towards the subject of atmospheric physics?"

"This is closely related to our survival. In my personal opinion, research should be preserved. However, considering the development problems in this period, investment may be relatively reduced, or it may be transferred to more important research and become a subsidiary topic... ..."

"Elder Void, I am a member of the concentrated energy research team, I would like to ask..."

"Concentrating energy, that is, the research for the purpose of crystallizing pure energy without calcium carbide?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Oh, its development prospects are very good. From the perspective of future development, it will not be cancelled... However, it is not ruled out that the research and development will be postponed for the time being because calcium carbide can meet the needs of use... "

"Master, elder, the research on improved animal husbandry is closely related to our food, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"This……"

"Elder Kong Huan, ah, don't squeeze! Elder, I just want to hear your attitude towards special steel!"

"..."

"Chairman, Elder, although gunpowder is temporarily inferior to electromagnetic weapons, it also has its own advantages..."

"..."

"#￥#%&"

"..."

I thought it was just an ordinary communication with researchers, but I didn’t expect that as Kong Huan stopped to answer one by one, under the surging crowd, more and more researchers found such a relatively accurate information channel, and immediately crowded come over.Faced with this, the empty complexion turned from red to black, and then from black to white...

On the other hand, because they couldn't squeeze in front of Kong Huan, many people turned their attention to Lingxue and the other elders. They are also elders, and these people should know it too.

So with this thought in mind, Lingxue and the others were not spared.

It wasn't until dusk fell that the researchers couldn't stand the illusion of eagerness, so they dragged Lingxue and others out of the crowd and retreated to the dormitory in embarrassment.

"It seems that this decision has affected the research and interests of many people, Kong Huan, your decision is not good."

"I never thought it would be this serious."

"But... Thinking about it the other way around, it's just the beginning. If we wait a few more years and the technology research and development of various categories become more and more in-depth, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to make this decision."

"This... seems to be the same."

The original idea of ​​Void was just to allow everyone to coordinate and chat easily at the meeting, rationally allocate their respective tasks, study the various scientific research directions of the friends, and then decide on a commonly accepted technical direction.

But now it seems that this kind of thinking is not naive.

"In this world, there are still a few people who can really consider the overall situation regardless of themselves, especially for most ordinary people who are not energy bodies. It’s a major. It’s okay if the direction you discuss in this way is their own major, but if it’s not, what should they do? Re-learn?”

"Maybe we should count those members of the professional direction who may be abandoned or weakened, and then arrange a good life for them." Kong Huan said.

"You think too simply," Lingxue shook her head: "Why did these researchers go to this point, is it just for living?"

"no?"

"Of course not. From the looks of it, you are technically capable, but you are not a researcher." Lingxue rolled her eyes: "They are able to make it this far, obviously because of their love for this profession. Just like you like... 8051, and then suddenly one day, someone told you that he can arrange a life for you, but the condition is to give up 8051, do you agree?"

"Well, it's not that serious."

"That's the truth."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Because I discovered it too"

"..."

"Also, I thought you would know better if you are closer to the technical direction."

"Sorry," Kong Huan sighed, "I made a mistake, but it is necessary to establish a core research direction."

"Well, anyway, the meeting has just started, let's take a look at the situation in the past few days, and then decide on the next step."

"Alright."

—————Bainong, who has not been around for a long time, passed by without a sense of existence—————

The technical conference on the second day and the third day after that were full of bickering.

Contrary to Unreal's expectations, the debate on what kind of core technology should be established is not intense.In the general direction, the debate on the establishment of core technology is still between spiritual power and energy.But it is inevitable to think about it, because from the very beginning, the main development direction of the Pengzu is these two points.

This is the physical advantage of friends, and also the technological advantage of friends.

This situation relieved Kong Huan, Lingxue and others. What they were most afraid of was arguing endlessly in dozens of directions and getting nothing. Now that there are only two of them, it will be easier to communicate.

But even so, it doesn't mean that the topic of the entire meeting will stay in these two directions.

Just like the exchanges between countries in the past, strong countries want to become stronger and become hegemony; medium countries want to become strong countries to fight against those strong countries; and weak countries try their best to make themselves Survive and even try a little bit to make it to the Middle States.

At this time, the two powerful countries in the meeting are 'energy technology' and 'spiritual power technology'; the medium-sized countries include 'mechanical technology', 'bio-technology', etc.; 'Gunpowder Weapons Research' and more.

So, how to find a balance?

Kong Huan was as dazed as everyone else, so the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day... the meeting kept going like this.

Half a month later, he finally realized that such a waste of time should not be done. All these major scientists were gathered here to quarrel, and there were no leaders for each subject, basically relying on these ordinary researchers and assistant researchers. It is even more difficult, this is a complete waste of more than half a month of technological development time!

If you count the consumption of the fantasy world, it will be a few years!
So, at the No. 14-day meeting, Ai Yi, a representative of energy technology, finally broke his calm appearance and threw the table on the podium.

"We have to set a tone!"

"The keynote, indeed, is that energy technology and spiritual technology are arguing endlessly like now, and others want to keep a share of the pie, which is simply unrealistic."

The representative of spiritual science and technology, the current principal of Jijishan, and the member of the Presbyterian House, Otonashi, suddenly chose to stop the dispute and shake hands with Aiyi to make peace.The two sides decided to put aside the disputes over the two aspects of technology for the time being, and focus on the issue of the survival of ordinary technology.In fact, when both sides are unable to kill each other, the strong country will aim to compete for the middle and weak countries to enrich itself.

However, this move not only did not weaken the controversy, but exacerbated the confusion.

In order to retain their respective research directions, two 'powerful countries' and even many 'medium countries' have begun to seek the support of 'weak and small countries'.

Six days to No.20, that is, more than a month later, the meeting finally began to produce substantive content.

At the meeting that day, Kong Hua, who had finally clarified something, made the cruel decision of 'comparison and elimination' at the meeting through the mouth of the elder Long Yue, comparing similar technologies, choosing the best and choosing the weak.

On that day, more than a dozen scientific research projects were discontinued, such as gunpowder technology, fossil energy, thermal power machinery, jet power, binary computer, etc., because they were not comparable to electromagnetic technology, calcium carbide energy (and subsequent pure energy crystals), electric motors, and magnetic fields. Engines, artificial brains and other technologies have become the technical reserves of the information base of the Ministry of Technology, declaring that they have officially entered the history of the friends.

That night, how much lamentation, crying and resignation there were in the dormitory area, I didn't even dare to understand in this regard.

But maybe I feel that doing this is a little too inhumane, and it is also very irresponsible for a main consciousness, so on the seventh day of No. 20, Kong Huan temporarily announced a one-day adjournment.On the one hand, it allowed everyone who had been arguing for more than a month to clear their minds for follow-up discussions; on the other hand, it gathered more than a dozen members of scientific research projects that had been canceled and announced that this path would never be accessible in the group of friends.

At the party, Kong Huan only did three things: first, comfort; second, ask; third, arrange.

After appeasing these people, sum up the directions they are good at, and after thinking about adjustments, arrange them to topics similar to their respective professional skills.Although it is only temporary, and under the circumstances that are being discussed now, no one can say whether these assigned projects will be canceled for some reason the next day, but at least these researchers will not be able to Idle and utterly depressed and sinking.

However, Kong Huan should be thankful that there are few friends in the Peng Clan. He has to face only a few dozen people. If he is replaced by other races with more people and more events, the only result of going out in person like him is probably exhausted.

"But, do you think this will calm them down?"

"Maybe, in this life, there are always some things that people are unwilling to give up but must give up. And a country, a race, in the long history, this kind of situation is impossible to be uncommon. Our friends can easily come to It’s a blessing to have such a choice now.”

"is it?"

"Yes."

"..."

"..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Kong Huan didn't know how to answer Lingxue's words.

However, when No.20 resumed the meeting in eight days, because of yesterday's adjustment and allocation of those canceled scientific research team members, they were inspired. After the 'comparison and elimination', Kong Huan also proposed the decision of 'similar integration' through the mouths of other members of the Elder's House.

Compared with 'comparative elimination', this 'similar integration' is obviously milder.

Its method is the same as comparison and elimination, which is to select scientific research projects with similar development goals. However, the difference is that the content of such two or more projects is rationalized and analyzed. After discussing the similarities and commonalities, they will These two or more topics are integrated into a comprehensive topic, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the waste caused by repeated research, rather than competitive elimination.

This is much more complicated than 'comparative elimination'.

Therefore, in the eight-day meeting of No.20, all the time was used to judge more than 30 groups and more than 170 subjects that were similar or possibly in common, and then this day was unceremoniously switched to night, and the enthusiasm remained unabated. The crowd was asked by Kong Huan to have a good rest in a stern tone, and they were reluctantly driven back to the dormitory by the soldiers.

Although compared to the heavy and painful atmosphere of No.20's six-day night, it is much more relaxed, but Kong Huan is very clear that 80% of the researchers who were asked to take a good rest that night did something that a good boy would not do. ——All night (insomnia), because when the No.20 nine-day meeting opened, he saw a large group of 'pandas'.

"Everyone seems to be counting the stars at night."

"..." Leng~~
"Well, today is a continuation of yesterday's task, but yesterday has established more than 30 members of the group, you can get together and discuss how to integrate your research topics and directions, this is your work during this time."

"Now, the fantasy world used to extend the discussion time has been opened, and each of your groups has an area that can be temporarily controlled. If you feel that the public fantasy world is not suitable, and your group can also open up members who are similar to the fantasy world , self-expanding the fantasy world is also allowed."

After a while of restlessness, the researchers who had gathered together according to the group discussed yesterday immediately entered the public illusion world, or one of them opened the illusion world to absorb his companions.If it is just a temporary fantasy world for discussion, as long as the soul level is enough, the shortage of friends' fantasy world creators is only because of many issues such as safety, durability, authenticity, and world scope.

Then, a large area of ​​the venue fell asleep.

"..." Kong Huan looked embarrassed.

"Ahem, it seems that I didn't get enough sleep last night, these guys."

"Watch~~"

"Well, the rest... well, it seems that there are not many. We have more than 4000 people here, all of whom have no conflicting subjects, have independent directions, and have their own subjects, but they cannot be easily compatible. Then Obviously, we're dealing with a harsh reality."

"I'm afraid it's difficult to integrate like the 30-odd groups in these two days, so is it canceled like the dozen or so groups in 26 days? Or find a new way?"

"Now, let's discuss."

Kong Huan is just the host of the meeting. The various decisions made a few days ago have indeed solved many problems. At least 12% of the researchers have been adjusted and assigned new tasks, but now the remaining 88% still have no direction.

new road?How hard to find.

Until that day, that is, the nine-day nightfall of conference No. 20, the technology teams that were dominated by energy technology and spiritual technology, but not divided into two camps, were arguing endlessly. Solved, the general direction is still in chaos.

But even though he is impatient, Kong Huan also knows that this kind of action that determines the future development of a race is risky if it is to be resolved in a short time, and it will be bad if it is urged.But when lying on the roof of his own dormitory at night and watching the stars, Kong fantasized about the Yadu who claimed to be the remnant soul of the main consciousness in the sacred stone that caused all this, and he also complained a little.

"Yadu, you're driving me crazy!"

Then No. 30 days and nights...

"Damn Yadu, this is all caused by the racial direction you proposed."

No.30 One night...

"Is what Yadu proposed really correct? Could it be to delay the progress of the friends' scientific research?"

No.30 Two nights...

"No, everyone can see the benefits of deciding on a research direction, otherwise they wouldn't be so supportive, and the quarrel is so fierce, embarrassing."

No.30 Two nights...

"No! It's really not okay to be so noisy!"

"Bastard! What's the noise, you whine on the roof every night, are you a spring cat!"

"Forehead……"

Facing the aroused public anger, Kong Huan decisively shut up, and fled back to his dormitory in desperation.But the next morning, he still had to face the resentful eyes of the elders who got up in the same dormitory.

"Wonderful, why do you have the habit of howling on the roof at night, do you want to become that kind of creature called a werewolf?" Lingxue seemed to ask kindly.

"Werewolf, I think it's a pervert." Aiyi, who has a bad temper recently, retorted directly.

"Do you think it's possible?" Liu Yun, who is in the field of biomedicine, glanced at Void, as if reporting a well-known incident.

"Well...it's really not very possible." Everyone nodded without hesitation.

"囧" Orz
The hard-hit Kong Huan was completely powerless.
