After the success of the proton nuclear fusion device, it means that humans will have the ability to explore and develop the outer space of the solar system.
At this moment.
Interest in the development of the solar system is not as great as it used to be.
Speaking of which, the main reason is that the current conditions are not difficult to develop the solar system. Naturally, the honors it can bring are not as much as before.
Just like in the early days of human exploration of space, everyone was extremely happy to be able to launch a satellite, and there were a lot of honors and so on.
Today, launching a satellite is as easy as picking up a pebble on the roadside.
It's like landing on the moon.
There was still a lot of attention and honor when we landed on the moon, but now we should not make it too simple.
Landing on Mars is just that.
Since the success of the cold nuclear fusion device, there has been no difficulty in developing the solar system, coupled with neutrino detection equipment and neutrino communication equipment.
The difficulty of developing the solar system has been reduced again.
Since there is no difficulty, the corresponding honor will naturally be less, and the motivation to do it will naturally be less.
Moreover, what everyone does not have in mind right now is not to comprehensively develop the solar system, but to think about how to protect the solar system.
To put it simply, the proton nuclear fusion device is about to succeed, and it will be able to explore and develop the outer space of the solar system.
Plus the need to protect the solar system.
As a result, more people are focusing on the universe of the solar system.
The first target is naturally Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the solar system.
It is no exaggeration to say that only being able to explore and develop Proxima Centauri now will bring enough honors.
If the proton nuclear fusion device is completed, there will be a basis for exploring Proxima Centauri.
Of course, apart from energy, the remaining unfavorable condition is the limitation of the speed of light.
Just like those probes launched outside the solar system.
The detector was initially launched through a beam channel.
Its maximum speed is a quarter of the speed of light, and its flight time is only half a year.
It is currently flying outside the solar system and has not yet flown out of the solar system.
As for the detectors launched recently, their speed has reached sub-light speed. In a few days, those detectors discovered later will be able to fly ahead.
For these recently launched detectors, it will take about five years to fly to Proxima Centauri. Even if they fly at the speed of light, it will take four years.
It would take more than four years to send back the Proxima Centauri data.
To be honest, this time span is a bit long.
Judging from the current situation, we are now making long-term plans for the development of Proxima Centauri.
It is because of this that it is challenging and everyone pays attention to it.
In fact, this is relative.
Just because the development of the solar system is no longer difficult, everyone is paying attention to the development of the outer space of the solar system.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "It's true, it's one thing whether you value it or not. Developing the solar system no longer has the same sense of accomplishment as before. Everyone likes to challenge difficult tasks. As for our distaste for the current development speed being too slow, let alone , if you think about it carefully, this is really the case. Compare it to the past! I don’t know how many times the development speed is now than in the past, but I also think that our development speed is too slow, just like the super hadron collision we built. For example, the super hadron collider we designed has a diameter of one thousand kilometers. The plan is to complete the construction in three months. I think the three-month construction period is still too long. I think it is normal to complete the construction in one week. Time, I don’t know why I have such an idea, but if I compare it with the past, it’s not whether it can be manufactured in the past. Even if it can be built, it will not feel slow if it takes ten or twenty years. In the past, it was a normal thing. "Look, it's nothing wrong now. It's been three months, but I still feel it's too slow. I wish I could complete the design one day and build it the next day."
Now that he thought about it carefully, it was really like this.
No matter how fast the current engineering projects are, he will feel slow.
To be honest, this speed is fast enough. In the past, such a construction speed was unimaginable.
That's it now.
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "Yes! Yes! I think so too. Although the construction cycle of Second Earth is half a year, I also feel that this construction speed is still too slow. I feel that one month is more than what I can do Acceptable."
Just think about it.
It took more than a year to develop like this.
If the construction cycle of Second Earth is half a year, he is really worried that some technologies will already fall behind before Second Earth is completed.
In this case, it would be embarrassing.
Besides, it's not what it used to be now.
In the past, the entire construction process required the participation of personnel, due to low levels of intelligent automation and other reasons.
It's different now.
Whether it is design or manufacturing, it is all assisted by artificial intelligence.
Manufacturing factories with intelligent automation.
So does assembly and construction.
Especially the current combination of artificial intelligence and robots, as long as it has happened, the combination of artificial intelligence and robots can be completed.
Naturally, this speed will double and the efficiency will naturally increase.
The time used for construction is naturally reduced.
Zuo Dajun looked at Si Wenbo in surprise, "Professor Si! What you Tsinghua University is building is the Second Earth! It can be completed in one month. This is too exaggerated! I think it will take two months. After all, The volume of the Second Earth and the Earth are the same."
When they heard Zuo Dajun said that it would take two months to build the Second Earth, Xu Zhengping, Fan Xiaoming, Ning Changsheng, and Si Wenbo all laughed.
Ning Changsheng said with a smile: "It is also amazing to complete the construction of Second Earth in two months. It can be said that it is theoretically feasible, but impossible in reality. From my perspective, everyone is too impatient now. I always feel The speed of development is slow, but actually our speed of development is frighteningly fast.”
This is no nonsense.
Just look at it and you'll find out.
In just over a year, the development of Tamgobi has been completed, and the construction of the other eight special zones has also been completed.
The development of the moon has also become a success.
The deindustrialization of the earth has also been completed, and the construction of the earth orbit industrial zone has also been completed.
You must know that the Earth Orbit Industrial Zone provides industrial products to all humans on the earth, and also undertakes the manufacturing and processing tasks for the initial development of the solar system.
Likewise, there are those industrial cities on the moon.
Just like the current development and construction of Mars, the construction machinery and construction components required are all produced in these places.
According to the plan, when the development and construction of Mars is completed, Mars will become the center of processing and manufacturing, while the earth and the moon will. .
In addition to supplying the needs of humans on earth, its focus is scientific research.
As for the development and construction of Mars, the planning time is only half a year.
You know, in these six months, the largest industrial area and living area in the solar system will be built.
It is no exaggeration to say that Mars will be the manufacturing center for the development of the solar system and external development.
The materials produced in its industrial zone will be supplied for the development of the solar system and the exploration and development of outer space.
Even if the development of the solar system slows down, the development of the outer space of the solar system is also real. At least in the initial stage, it will need to rely on the industrial zone of Mars.
Then there is the living area.
The initial plan was to build the living quarters on the surface of Mars.
But consider the actual situation.
The most important thing is the problem of gravity, and then there is the problem of geological disasters on Mars.
It was finally decided to build the living quarters in the orbit of Mars.
Unlike Earth.
In orbit of Mars
Build industrial and living areas without any worries.
You know, building industrial zones in Earth orbit is done with caution.
As for the reason, it is because the industrial area blocks the sunlight.
This sunlight is very important to the earth's ecology and can determine the existence of the earth's environment.
Just imagine, if the industrial areas in orbit block the sun too much, it will inevitably reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the earth.
Soon, the earth's environment will change drastically, and the earth's environment will no longer be suitable for human survival.
Unceremoniously, this is a reality that humans cannot accept.
For this reason, the scale of industrial zones in Earth orbit cannot be too large.
As for living quarters, there will be none in Earth orbit.
This is Earth.
Mars has no such concerns.
This is also one of the reasons for choosing Mars as the manufacturing center.
Anyway, the surface of Mars is not suitable for human survival, and it doesn't matter how big the industrial and living areas in orbit are.
According to the plan, the industrial area in Mars orbit is very large, and similarly, the living area is also very large.
Just think about the role of the Mars Industrial Zone.
As for the living area.
The living area of Mars can support a population of one trillion.
This is no joke.
After the construction of the industrial zone is completed, the first batch of living areas will be able to accommodate 10 billion, and will be expanded according to demand in the future.
That's it, construction will be completed within half a year.
I have to say that everyone is very anxious now.
Of course, regardless of urgency, this is all planned by An and can be realized.
This is the planned time for development to begin on Mars.
This is the time calculated after the cold nuclear fusion device was developed.
As for now.
With the arrival of neutrino detection equipment and neutrino communication equipment, the situation is different again.
The speed of construction will further increase.
Even so, some people still feel that it is not fast enough.
The current situation is like this. No matter how fast it is, everyone will still feel that it is slow.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Yes! Anyway, now everyone generally feels that the current speed is not fast enough, just like some people think that human growth is too slow. Some laboratories are already studying projects to speed up the growth of animals and plants. Some laboratories simply study and manufacture animals and plants directly. According to these people, the growth rate of animals and plants is too slow. It would be best if they could be directly manufactured like those machines. Let’s see if these people are too I’m impatient!”
I heard Fan Xiaoming say this.
Xu Zhengping, Ning Changsheng, and Si Wenbo didn't show any excessive expressions.
Zuo Dajun was different, his face was full of surprise, "What? There is a laboratory to study such a project. Is this okay? Can it be done like this? Is this possible?"
With that said, Zuo Dajun looked at a few people, "You... you all know this!"
Several people nodded.
Si Wenbo said seriously: "It is true that there are laboratories researching these projects, but the supervision is extremely strict, and it is clearly stipulated that it can only be limited to the scope of research and cannot be used in other places."
for related research.
Regardless of whether it is ethical, it is still very dangerous.
Relevant project research is feasible, but it is limited to the scope of research and will be subject to the strictest supervision.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "Okay! This is just like those intelligent animals. Research can be done, but it will be strictly restricted."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "That's right, those project studies are possible. After all, the research value is still there, such as accelerating the growth of animals and plants. This is based on the animals and plants themselves, and it is also studying the animals and plants themselves. It would be even more difficult to directly create animals and plants. As for us humans, if we want to directly create humans, the impact of the human body on
Only with a complete understanding of life and numerous technologies can it be possible to directly create human beings. This does not rely on the slow development of fertilized eggs, but direct creation. "
As it stands now.
Anyone can apply for a project.
As long as it's not too much, it's not anti-human or anything like that.
Their projects will be supported.
Of course, different projects receive different levels of supervision.
The greater the threat to humanity, the greater the intensity of supervision.
For example, those who study the growth of animals and plants, or want to directly manufacture animals and plants, are within the scope of strict supervision.
After all, these studies involve life and human beings themselves.
If you think about it, you will know that some people have no good intentions.
If any biological weapons are developed against humans, it will be a disaster for mankind.
If only these projects were successful.
The relevant technology has been acquired by people with evil intentions.
Will it be possible to create a huge population in a short period of time?
It doesn’t matter whether people made in this way are reasonable or not.
What would be the consequences if these manufactured people were used to deal with normal humans.
Therefore, these projects can be researched, but they must receive the strongest supervision.
Again.
With the development of science and technology, those science and technologies pose an increasing threat to human beings.
It is impossible to stagnate the development of science and technology.
Because the strength of human beings requires these sciences and technologies.
Then we can only strengthen supervision.
Zuo Dajun looked surprised and said: "I know that it is possible to speed up the growth of animals and plants. There have been successful examples in the past, but is it possible to directly create animals and plants? Animals and plants are all living things. Is it really possible? Make plants and animals like machines."
As he said that, he looked at Ning Changsheng.
Several people around him also looked at Ning Changsheng.
Because everyone around him knew it, and Ning Changsheng knew the most about this aspect.
After all, Ning Changsheng has been studying immortality for a long time and has high attainments in this area.
You know, Ning Changsheng has led this scientific research team to achieve many achievements in biology.
For example, let’s limit human lifespan to one hundred and fifty years.
