Earth Era

?The scientist's question caused the entire venue to fall into silence. Exactly as he said. Due to the influence of the Lobachevsky space, the entire planet disappeared from the universe and fell into another unfamiliar space. This is undoubtedly a small probability event. In the hundreds of years that human beings have modern technology, human civilization has never seen, unheard of, or even imagined such a thing.

So...there are so many river systems in the universe, there are so many star systems in the river system, and there are so many planets in the star system, why is it the Earth? Why is the earth that nurtured human civilization and still supports the survival and development of human civilization? Is there something special about the earth?

Zhao Lan has also thought about this issue. Although there is no exact answer, Zhao Lan can still answer this question.

"My answer is... this question is meaningless." Zhao Lan sighed, "In the previous earth era, people would also be confused by such questions, that is, there were so many people who smoked, why did they not get cancer? Did I, a non-smoker, get cancer? Suppose you own a chicken farm, and you have 100,000 chickens, and one day you decide to catch a chicken to kill and eat, then the chicken that happened to be caught by you Do you also think like this: There are a hundred thousand chickens, why do you want to catch me? Obviously there is only a one in 100,000 chance..."

"So your question is meaningless." Zhao Lan said, "No matter which planet such a small probability event occurs on, we can ask why it is this one. But it will still happen... Since It has already happened, and complaining about the injustice of fate or bad luck is a waste of time and energy."

The scientist was silent for a while, then bowed to Zhao Lan: "Thank you for your answer, I understand. I just sighed at the fate of our human civilization... Just a few hundred years ago, we just We have experienced a disaster that almost destroyed our civilization. If your ancestor Zhao Huasheng hadn't turned the tide, maybe we would have been extinct. Now, our peaceful time has not passed for a long time, and now we have encountered such a situation again. Things, the fate of our human civilization... seems to be too bumpy."

"But what can we do? Instead of complaining about the unfairness of our destiny, it is better to complain that we are not strong enough." Zhao Lan glanced at the head of state intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "I have noticed that technically speaking, our human civilization is at this moment. We have fully possessed the ability to enter Jupiter, and even enter Saturn. But our human civilization has not taken this step. We seem to have satisfied what we have achieved now, and there is no crisis. We are immersed in drunken life and dream of death, In the midst of blooming flowers, we have lost the enterprising spirit to continue to go to space. The last solar crisis brought about the rapid development of science and technology in our human civilization, which led to the two great buildings of Earth Harbor and Mars Harbor, but this rapid development is only a matter of After maintaining for a hundred years, it has fallen into stagnation. Now we are facing a life-and-death crisis again, I don’t know how much our technology will develop this time?”

A flush appeared on Zhao Lan's cheeks because of excitement. These words had been circling in Zhao Lan's mind for a long time, and now they finally have the opportunity to say them on this important occasion that is related to the fate of human civilization. Zhao Lan doesn't know what kind of consequences saying these words will bring to him, Zhao Lan only knows. If you don't say these words now, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"But I would like to ask, why do we only start to strive for strength when the crisis comes? Why can't we develop technology with all our strength in the past peaceful times, when we have more time and sufficient material support? If If the last technological explosion could last for three hundred years instead of one hundred years, we might have already stepped out of the solar system, and a mere earth has fallen. How can it threaten the foundation of our human civilization?"

Zhao Lan turned around and bowed deeply to the head of human civilization and the heads of various departments of human civilization sitting in the seats next to him, and then said: "Head of State... can you answer this question for me? ?"

There was a burst of discussion in the venue, and a look of anxiety appeared on Zhang Hong's face, who was sitting in the seat below. Zhang Hong knew very well what Zhao Lan said and what this question meant. This is to question the entire policy policy of this current head of state and several previous heads of state, and what is Zhao Lan's identity? You know, Zhao Lan is just an ordinary researcher in the research institute under the Central Academy of Sciences...

"Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan. You're a little too courageous, you're really a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers..." Zhang Hong sighed anxiously in his heart, "You question the head of state face-to-face on such an occasion, you... You are really..."

Among the more than 2,000 participants, there are many seniors in the scientific field with high morals, and there are also experts and scholars who have a deep understanding of the development process of human civilization. But in the past two hundred years, in the process of countless dazzling new stars rising and falling with the passage of time, no one has ever asked such a question to the head of state. Not a single one.

Compared to Zhao Huasheng, Zhao Lan is not outstanding. Even in the disciplines to which Zhao Lan belongs, Zhao Lan can only be regarded as ordinary. If it wasn't for Zhao Lan's luck, Zhao Lan wouldn't even be able to get the title of being the first to discover the abnormal disappearance of celestial bodies. Zhao Lan is so ordinary, but at this moment, countless outstanding people are not aware of this problem, or they are aware of this problem, but because of various concerns, they have not raised this issue to the leaders of the entire human civilization. , the ordinary Zhao Lan asked this question without hesitation.

There may be many people who say that they are grandstanding, or that the embarrassment they have caused to the head of state in person will have a great impact on their future careers, and they will no longer be able to engage in the industry they like in the future... But Zhao Lan doesn't care about anything. Zhao Lan knew his heart and knew that he didn't ask this question for honor or fame. Zhao Lan knows that just like his ancestor Zhao Huasheng could bear the misunderstanding and hostility of the entire human civilization in order to complete the task, although he is only a member of ordinary human beings, in order to make the entire human civilization develop better, he is also the same. Don't mind paying a heavy price.

Facing Zhao Lan's face-to-face questioning, the head of state seemed a little embarrassed. Not only the head of state, but the heads of various departments sitting on both sides of the head of state also felt a little embarrassed. The head of state coughed and finally answered helplessly: "Of course I know the importance of developing technology, but in the case of limited social resources, I can only make trade-offs between different needs. People's livelihood issues, economic issues , the problem of infrastructure construction, the problem of violent elements and terrorists, etc., all consume a lot of social resources, and I cannot pour so many social resources into technological development."

"Then I want to ask, during the 100 years when technology maintained rapid development, did the problems you mentioned not exist? In fact, during that time, there will only be more problems, and there will never be more problems. Not less than it is now. At that time, the solar crisis had just ended, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done, social chaos, all kinds of despair and sadness shrouded the whole society, but why were we able to maintain such rapid technological development at that time?” Facing the Fuhrer Zhao Lan's questioning seemed sharp and merciless.

"After all, the current situation is different from that time. We can't simply apply the situation in different periods." The head of state thought for a while, and then answered.

"But the crisis doesn't care about these things." Zhao Lan continued, "The crisis doesn't care how many reasons we have for not developing technology. When the crisis comes, if our technology is not advanced enough, we will only have a dead end. We landed on Mars two hundred years ago, and the top speed of our most advanced spacecraft has reached 180 kilometers per second, but now, two hundred years later, we have not even landed on Jupiter, our most advanced spacecraft It can't even reach 300 kilometers per second!"

Facing Zhao Lan's questioning, the head of state finally did not answer. The head of state thought for a while, then got up and left his seat, first bowed to Zhao Lan, then turned around, and bowed again to all the scientists present~www.readwn.com~ The venue started again at this moment become quiet.

"It was my ruling philosophy that went wrong." The head of state said very seriously: "Faced with Ms. Zhao Lan's questioning, I reflected on my past, and then I had to admit it. I am always pursuing people's livelihood and pursuing Economic development, although I also know the importance of science and technology, but in practice, I always involuntarily reduce the investment in science and switch to other places, which leads to my lack of investment in scientific and technological development, which leads us to I don't have enough technology to face the current crisis, because my vision is too narrow. I will not shirk my faults, but I will conduct a profound review of the mistakes I have made. Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Zhao Lan. Your love and sense of responsibility for our human civilization are no less than your ancestor Zhao Huasheng."

After saying this, the head of state once again bent down at all the scientists present. At this moment, all the scientists, including everyone on the rostrum, all stood up, and the roof was almost lifted with warm applause. (To be continued.
