For most people, 2039 does not have many expectations and longings for the new decade.
Mainly because the wars launched in the past ten years have really affected everyone's lives, and everyone is still in the stage of coming out of the shadow of the war.
By the time 2049 arrives, almost everyone is looking forward to 2050.
With the stabilization of the situation and the explosive growth of technology, everyone has extremely high expectations for the future.
Although even after the war, the population of the entire Blue Star is still more than 8 billion.
With this population, even if Blue Star has begun to develop the resources of the moon and Mars, it will not be able to provide everyone with better welfare benefits.
But on the eve of the 1950s, no matter which country you were in, at least you could not work and you would not starve to death.
Can guarantee basic food and clothing.
In particular, the universal drugs launched by Kechuang Biotech in 2040 will be paid for by governments of various countries and cover most diseases.
Universal medicine, this is the name given by Blue Star people. The official name of Kechuang Biotech is "Pathological Analysis Drug Design Instrument".
In fact, it is a device, not a panacea that can cure all diseases in the true sense.
This is actually a long-standing concept of Blue Star.
Long before the AI wave, people were hoping to use deep learning tools to improve the computer drug design process.
The most ideal situation is that the doctor writes a few sentences describing the desired effect, then inputs the patient's physical examination data, and the AI automatically generates the exact structure of the required drug.
Most previous experiments at Blue Star still only focused on molecules and their low-level properties, such as logP, octanol/water partition coefficient, etc.
Kechuang Biotech's drug design instrument can provide a higher level of control over molecular design, and control can be easily achieved through natural language.
It achieves its goals by generating descriptions for molecules and generating molecules from scratch guided by text.
It is then transmitted to the backend, where the local pharmaceutical factory produces the medicine within a day.
Under Zheng Li's guidance, Kechuang Biotech got it right in one step. It not only modified the molecules, but also directly designed the molecules.
Some common molecular drugs can be purchased directly at local pharmacies or pharmacies.
After this invention was invented, most innovative drug R&D companies in the biomedical field went bankrupt.
Originally, everyone was living a happy life. With the application of artificial intelligence in the field of biomedical R&D, it was basically possible to control the cost of developing a new drug with just a few R&D personnel.
Now I am completely confused.
Of course, this invention has greatly reduced the cost of the medical field, resulting in the people of Blue Star being guaranteed free medical care.
Taking China as an example, why should we vigorously develop traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine? To put it bluntly, we need to be prepared for the inability of Western medicine to enter the Chinese market.
It’s not that traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are useless, but it’s an experience-based discipline that makes it difficult to have a standard to quantify it.
You cannot guarantee that the Chinese medicine doctors and medicines you see have seen and cured patients with similar symptoms to yours.
And it is necessary to ensure that the number of patients and the sample are large enough.
Going to see a Chinese medicine doctor is completely a black box. In other words, it's like drawing from a blind box. What you get is purely a matter of luck.
Traditional Chinese medicine is like an assembly line product.
By 2049, one is that there are fewer people. The baby boom population is gradually declining, and the other is that the newborn population is getting smaller and smaller.
Although China was nominally second in the world before, in fact, the second, third, and fourth combined could not defeat Amerikan.
Now he is essentially second in the world, and he can compete with Amerikan on his own.
From puffy to muscular, it’s a long and arduous road.
But even if the country is strong and welfare benefits are improved, China has also thought of various policies to try to stimulate fertility. The more exciting it is, the less desire there is to have children.
Even people don't get married. The virtual world is so fun and they have fun in the virtual world.
In the virtual world built by other companies, you can even switch gender and enjoy different happiness.
No one wants to get married, and no one wants to have children.
China is pretty good. After all, it has thousands of years of tradition here. Europa and America are already working hard to develop artificial womb technology.
These countries even contacted researchers in Science City and offered them high prices to develop artificial womb technology.
Back to Science City, in Science City, the results of researchers belong to Science City, but whether they are to be sold and to which organization are owned by the developers of the results.
The income generated is also divided 50-50 between Science City and R&D personnel.
The science city has a beneficial effect on research and development. Successful candidates can obtain magic brains. In addition, the science city is safe during wartime.
Let this become a holy place in the minds of Blue Star researchers.
Those who can be rolled into a mage must have repeated successful results and be recognized by Merlin, so their status is comparable to that of a Nobel Prize winner.
Of course, a single achievement may not be as valuable as a Nobel Prize-winning achievement.
However, he can continue to output research results, and he has life-extending potions, so his research career is longer than that of ordinary people.
In the outside world, those who have not been regularized in Science City are called intern researchers, and those whose internships have been converted to full-time without results are called first-level researchers.
One result of becoming a full-time employee is called a second-level researcher, and so on.
Those who have obtained the magic brain are called mages.
By 2049, the number of mages in the world has exceeded 5,000.
So much so that in large countries, special laws must be issued for mage management.
In the legislative process, everyone has to go to England to learn from relevant experience.
England is the country with the most experience in magistrate management.
"Judging from astronomical observations, we can start to officially start capturing (6178) 1986 DA in the spring of next year."
Luo Shu said after completing this round of observations in the Mars base.
After experiencing ups and downs all the way, Luo Shu first used the magic world to successfully obtain admission to the Science City.
Then he published three results in Science City and successfully became a mage.
Finally became the chief person in charge of the Human Mars Joint Observatory.
He has experienced a legendary life that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Although humans have built a base on Mars, the minerals on Mars are actually very limited.
From the construction of the Mars base to the expansion of the base, most of the materials even have to be transported from Blue Star.
Even in 2049, controllable nuclear fusion has been implemented, and with biophotovoltaics and other new energy technologies, energy is unlimited.
At the same time, conventional planetary system travel energy uses rechargeable hydrogen fuel cells.
However, relying on Blue Star's blood transfusion is still an unachievable goal for building a city on Mars and then gradually turning Mars into a livable planet.
Mars has an atmosphere, abundant carbon dioxide, and liquid water. The day and night cycle is similar to that of Blue Star, with a day lasting 24 hours and 39 minutes.
But the problem with Mars is that there are no mineral resources.
At least the moon has helium 3 that can be used for nuclear fusion.
This is not rigorous enough. It is not that Mars has no mineral resources, but that there are few mineral resources on the surface. If you want to mine them, you have to dig deeper.
This is not very practical.
After arguments by experts in the field of Blue Star's aerospace field, they believe that instead of digging on Mars, it is better to go to the asteroid belt to capture (6178) 1986 DA.
(6178) 1986 DA is about 28.8 million kilometers away from Blue Star. Based on the fastest speed of 16.7 kilometers per second for humans to launch a Mars probe in 2020, it will only take 20 years to reach 1986 DA.
It's closer than the distance from Blue Star to Mars.
At the current speed of Blue Star's rocket, it will probably only take three years to get there.
Mars is even closer to 1986DA.
Blue Star plans to mine 1986DA in 2050, and then use the resources of 1986DA to build large-scale cities on Mars.
(6178)1986 DA is an irregular sphere composed of various metallic elements, containing more than 10 billion tons of iron.
In addition, there are abundant platinum, nickel and gold elements on it. The values are 100,000 tons of platinum, about 1 billion tons of nickel, and about 10,000 tons of gold.
And there are a bunch of asteroid belts around Mars that can be mined slowly.
This is just the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the first shot at large-scale utilization of space resources.
"The observation of 1986DA cannot be stopped. Remember to set up the automatic capture device when you go to bed at night." After Luo Shu finished speaking, he put on protective clothing and walked out of the base, planning to go for a walk outside the base.
"Did you make a mistake again today?
It's okay to make mistakes, but you have to have a reason.
As my mother told you before, mistakes are allowed. As long as your reasons can convince me, I will not punish you.
Otherwise you know the consequences. "Li Miaomiao said to Li Zhen.
“When we got out of school today, other students’ parents came to pick them up, but my dad never came to pick me up.
I also found something very strange, why is it only my dad who can’t touch it?
Even though I could see him, I couldn't touch him.
Other dads are not like this.
Today I deliberately pretended to bump into other children's dads by accident. Their dads can obviously be bumped into. "
Li Zhen and Li Miaomiao used Zheng Li's stem cells to differentiate in vitro to obtain haploid-like germ cells, and then combined the germ cells with their own germ cells to create offspring through in vitro fertilization.
"And I also found out why everyone else takes their father's last name, but I take your last name?"
After being assassinated repeatedly, Li Miaomiao's only request was to have a child.
Most women's thoughts will change. At the beginning, they may feel that it doesn't matter and it's fine to live alone for the rest of their lives.
Especially for women like Li Miaomiao who hold a high position and do not have any financial pressure.
There are many examples of strong business women who are childless.
But after experiencing the crisis between life and death, my thoughts were different.
Not to mention that many women say it doesn't matter. The older they get, the stronger their desire to have children.
After Li Miaomiao made her request, she was prepared to be rejected. What she thought was that if she was rejected, she would find her sister to adopt a child.
It happened that Li Shuyao gave birth to two children one after another.
In the end, Zheng Li agreed.
It's just that both of them are mages, so the offspring raised in this way were only born in 2045.
In other words, Li Zhen is only four years old now.
"Didn't I tell you that your father is different from other people's fathers?"
In this era, except for very wealthy families, their children will be sent to schools specializing in the real world.
Other children take classes in the virtual world and then take physical education classes in the real world.
All public schools in the real world only have physical education teachers, and the physical education teachers think to themselves that I am here too.
Li Miaomiao already regretted letting Li Zhen go to some so-called elite education school.
"What makes him different from others?
Is it because he is a mage? "
"How do you know what a mage is?"
“Because we are talking specifically about mages today, saying that mages have many magical abilities.
Including when I was at home, I often saw that you can close the door without using your hands, and you can let the cup return to the coaster at an angle that is not consistent with mechanics. "
Li Miaomiao regretted teaching him too much and almost started learning calculus in mathematics.
Let me mention here that Terence Tao began to teach himself calculus at the age of seven.
It's not an exaggeration either.
Moreover, the mathematics textbook developed by the former sulian master is from 4 to 16 years old. At the age of 16, all college-level mathematical analysis must be completed.
And the difficulty is even more difficult than the textbooks from the middle-class 985 mathematics department in China.
"Does a mage have superpowers?" Li Zhen had countless questions.
Li Miaomiao was not impatient. She knew her son was a genius and was well prepared when she was nurturing him.
Just because of the difficulty of cultivation and her confidence in Zheng Li, she never thought about the second possibility.
Although she hopes that her son will be an ordinary person.
"Okay, I'll tell you one by one.
First of all, normal children are the product of parents' love. "
"What is love?"
"Basically, do you have a little girl you want to stay with all the time?"
"have."
"Then this barely counts as love."
"Okay, I understand."
"But you are not. Your father is only your father in name. In fact, there is no love between me and him."
"So dad only comes to see us every six months? It's you who goes to him every time, and occasionally you take me with you?
I get it, he doesn't want to be with you at all, but you want to be with him. "
Li Miaomiao was speechless. Although she wanted to refute, she couldn't find any reason:
"That's not the case, but your father has too many things to do and has no time for love.
It's like you are smarter than the average kid.
So you don't like playing with them the same. "
"So Dad is a lot smarter than you?"
"Okay, let's stop discussing this issue.
To answer your other question, your father and I are both mages.
Every time he comes to see you, he sees you in a virtual image.
So you can't touch him.
If you want to see him in the real world, you have to go to Science City or CERN in Europa. "
During the war, Zheng Li also exposed his identity at CERN in order to protect CERN researchers.
After being exposed, he simply returned the body to himself, and then used his clone body to talk to Europa again.
In the end, CERN was still under his control.
Because of this, Blue Star has not been able to figure out how many clones Zheng Li has so far.
"What are these places?"
“It’s a place that requires you to work very hard to pursue the truth.”
