At the end of the visit, Su Zhe and his party arrived at the core of the Second Earth, the center of the center.
This is the control center of Second Earth. Here you can see everything about Second Earth and have full control over Second Earth.
Several people were sitting in the control center, looking at the screens in the control center and the very primitive control buttons. Those who didn't know better thought it was a control center built in the last century.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xiaoming sighed: "Such a control center is just in case. To be honest, it is the final guarantee, but the possibility of using it is not high. Of course, such a control center is still It's necessary, after all, we can't be sure that we won't encounter accidents." With the advent of brain computers, such primitive control is really lagging behind, but relatively, lagging behind also means stability.
As far as brain computers are concerned, they are very convenient in terms of control, but at the same time, the risks are also very high, but the original control is different. It is less convenient, but it is stable.
Si Wenbo nodded and said: "Yes, that's what we think. This is the final guarantee for the Second Earth, and it is also a kind of comfort in the heart. In terms of effectiveness, when it is really used, it is probably about the same. There is no comparison between brain and computer." Zuo Dajun said very excitedly: "There is no comparison. Brain and computer are much more convenient. Just like now, using these screens to view the Second Earth is not as good as brain and computer. Yes, computers are so convenient." After Zuo Dajun finished speaking, the environment that the few people saw changed.
From a third party's perspective, the environment has not changed. Su Zhe and the others are sitting in the control center, and the surrounding environment has not changed at all.
However, the picture Su Zhe and others saw was different. What they saw was a combination of reality and virtuality, and what they saw was the superposition of the control center and the virtual picture.
The virtual pictures show the actual situation of Second Earth, from the inside of Second Earth to the outside of Second Earth.
With the authority of Su Zhe and others, they can see everything. From the core of Second Earth to the outer conditions of Second Earth.
This time, Su Zhe and others were under the control of Zuo Dajun and started to look at the second earth from the outside.
Second Earth and Proxima b are in the same orbit, and the distance from Proxima b is not very far. In the orbit of Second Earth, there is also the Penglai Sky City.
It can be clearly seen in the picture that there are frequent personnel exchanges between Second Earth and Penglai Space City. These people are interested in each other, and they just want to see what the other party does not have.
Looking at these, Si Wenbo sighed and said: "I am so envious of the Penglai Space City, which has a population of 10 million. Unfortunately, we still have 100,000 people on the Second Earth. It would be great if we had 100,000 people. That population "The usable area of the Penglai Space City is not large, but the population is really large, a full 10 million, but the usable area of the Second Earth is much larger, the same as the Earth. But the result is that the population of Second Earth is only one hundred thousand.
There's really no comparison between the two. Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "Professor Si, you can appeal to let the people from Penglai Space City move to the second earth soon. Anyway, you are together now, so it is very convenient to come here." Si Wenbo said with a wry smile: " In fact, we have already appealed and offered a lot of benefits, but unfortunately no one can take it seriously. I don’t know what those people on the Penglai Space City think. Anyway, no one came, but many people also offered The explanation is that the current Second Earth is not perfect enough. They will not consider it until the Second Earth is completely perfect. I think they just said it casually. They cannot take it seriously. Judging from the current situation, they can only let it be done on Earth. People come here." The current Second Earth is not yet perfect. In this regard, Second Earth is not as good as the Penglai Space City.
It can be said that the current ecology of Penglai Sky City is exactly the same as that of Earth. Everything that can be done on Earth can be done on Penglai Space City. On the contrary, because the Second Earth has not yet been perfected, it cannot be done yet. to this point.
Xu Zhengping looked at Si Wenbo and explained: "Professor Si, don't think about it. Your two projects opened for applications at about the same time. The fundamental concepts of choosing the two are completely different. Therefore, those who are willing to come to Second Earth Very few, really speaking, everyone lives the same life there, as long as they are within the flip-up range of the SS-defense system, the difference will not be big." Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "That's true, but the next generation will not It's easy to say, given the current trend, children may be separated from their parents' care early. You know, the available area of Penglai Space City is not much, so it is certain that those children will leave Penglai Space City." Penglai Space City The city is just that big, and its usable area is incomparable to that of Second Earth.
You know, the current population of Penglai Space City is 10 million. According to the first batch of statistics of the population increase plan, a family basically has 100 children. In this way, even the first batch, that is 500 million. People.
It's not that Penglai Space City can't support these people, but for the limited available area of Penglai Space City, so many people are indeed too many.
Naturally, most of these children want to leave Penglai Space City. For this, those in Penglai Space City all know this.
Looking at Si Wenbo's thoughtful look, Zuo Dajun reminded: "Professor Si, if you ask me to tell you, in the next period of time, when the Penglai Space City arrives, you will let the Second Earth go wherever it goes. Believe me, as long as In a few years, all the children from Penglai Space City will come to Second Earth. Think about it, this is a population of hundreds of millions, so you can’t miss it.” Si Wenbo nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, that’s right, that’s how it should be. Judging from the current situation, population is the most important thing. Take Second Earth as an example. One billion people is the bottom line. Anything less will not work. Anyway, the Second Earth is the same at this stage, so we should follow the Penglai Sky. Of course, in the next three years, the two will be arranged together." Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "That's right, as far as I can see, as long as the Second Earth is perfected, it will be better than the Penglai Space The city is more attractive, that's for sure." At this time, the scene in front of several people changed.
What he saw was the outside of the Second Earth. On the outside, there were many huge engines and various types of equipment.
The engine provides power to the second earth, and other preparations have various functions.
Seeing this, Zuo Dajun became excited and said: "With these, the Second Earth can run away at any time and get there wherever it wants. Unlike the Earth, it can only stay in the solar system and stay on its inherent orbit. Let me tell you, with a little modification of Second Earth, Second Earth can become a big killer." If you want to compare Second Earth with Earth, the survivability of Second Earth is not a little bit stronger than that of Earth.
The earth itself is not fragile, but the earth's environment is quite fragile. It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is the earth itself or the solar system, even if there are only inconspicuous changes, they will be big changes when reflected in the earth's environment. .
If the earth's environment changes, from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, then the earth's environment will no longer be suitable for the survival of these living creatures, and naturally it will not be suitable for human survival.
Anyway, such a situation will not happen on Second Earth. To put it simply, how the external conditions of Second Earth change will have little impact on the internal environment of Second Earth.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "It is a big killer. You think the death ray and electromagnetic cannon on the surface are just decorations. Although they are worse than the death ray and electromagnetic cannon equipped by the SS-defense system, they are more than enough to deal with ordinary threats. ." At this moment, several beams of light flashed past.
An asteroid 100,000 kilometers away from the Second Earth was hit. The diameter of this asteroid was one kilometer, but under the impact of several beams, it was instantly vaporized.
Looking at this scene, Si Wenbo said seriously: "Relatively speaking, Second Earth is already a big killer. As for more powerful attack power, that is not allowed. The purpose of these weapons equipped by Second Earth is to Defense is not offense, so it is best to do this now." At this time, the scene in front of several people changed again.
There are several passages leading to the interior on the surface of the Second Earth. After passing through the passages, the screen comes to the interior of the Second Earth.
Previously, Su Zhe and others went all the way north from Australia to the Chinese mainland, and then went to the core of the Second Earth. There were many places that they had not been to.
At this time, what appears on the screen is a place they have never been to. The screen is constantly switching, with various oceans and continents. Except for the Chinese continent, which has a green spot, the other places are wastelands and scattered buildings.
Looking at these, Zuo Dajun said with emotion: "This topography is exactly the same as that of the earth. To be honest, there is no difference between children who grow up in such an environment and children who grow up on the earth. It is just that it is not perfect yet. If it were perfected, it would be no different from the Earth." Until now, he still felt that the person who proposed copying the Earth in this way was a god.
Not only the topography and landforms of the earth are copied, but also the place names are copied from the earth. In this way, whether children grow up on the earth or children who grow up on the second earth, they all have the same cognition. Naturally, other Just have the same sense of identity.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "That's what we should do, but it's interesting to think about it. Just like the road names in various cities, they are actually the same. As time goes by, there will only be more and more Second Earths. If you want to distinguish them in the future, you have to add a code name before. Otherwise, where you really go. Speaking of it, wherever you live in the future, it is actually the same. There is a brain computer and a virtual universe. As long as it is within the coverage of the virtual universe, The difference is not big, just like me, my flying castle has been built, and I am just waiting for the children to be born. When the children are born, my wife and I will take the children to wander." Fan Xiaoming waved his hand , the scene in front of several people changed.
A magical flying castle appears on the screen. Zuo Dajun was yearning for it and said: "I originally had this idea, but my wife didn't agree. I really envy this kind of life. I can fly around and be where I want. By the way, many people have it now. Such an idea is really not uncommon, and the construction of such a flying castle is now being stepped up." As he said that, a picture of the construction of the flying castle appeared in front of several people.
In the picture, a large number of construction machinery and engineering robots are busy, and there should not be too many half-finished flying castles.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "Yes, there are many people who have chosen such a life. As long as it is within the coverage of the virtual universe, it is possible. Such a life was unthinkable in the past. Speaking of which, it is also possible. In just two years, it has developed to what it is today. I can’t imagine it. No, I’ve also booked a flying castle and plan to visit it.” Su Zhe smiled and said, “Yes! I’m also planning to visit everywhere. My wife and I have agreed that when the designed spacecraft is built, we will take advantage of the seven months left to take a walk around the solar system and its surroundings. This is a good opportunity. When the children are born, I guess there won’t be much time.” As he said that, Su Zhe waved his hand, and the billion spaceship appeared on the screen.
Seeing this spaceship, Zuo Dajun was very surprised and said: "What a big spaceship. The length of this spaceship is more than five thousand meters. It is indeed good to travel in such a spaceship. I am really envious. I don't want to think about it anymore." Real people can't go there, so we can only use humanoid bionic robots." Su Zhe nodded and said, "The length of this spaceship is six kilometers, and its facilities are complete. I have considered all the conditions. Besides, my wife When you are pregnant with a child, you still need to be more careful." They had agreed a long time ago to play together after getting married.
Originally, he was prepared to wait for a while, after all, his wife was pregnant, but his wife Ning Qiaoqiao brought it up, saying that this time period was the most leisurely, and when the children were born, they would not have so much time. .
Thinking of the current level of technology, he agreed. Fan Xiaoming looked at Su Zhe, thought for a moment and asked, "You're not just planning on traveling for the two of you, right?" Su Zhe smiled and said, "Otherwise, what we need is a world for two. I'll accompany my wife to see everywhere." , Such opportunities are rare and must be cherished." This is what they said, tourism is tourism, and scientific research work will not be delayed.
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "This is good. You can have fun while the children are not born. After the children are born, there will be less opportunities. Children must be considered in everything you do. So, now is The best time." Si Wenbo nodded and said, "That's right. After having a child, it feels completely different. Take advantage of this opportunity to have fun." After hearing what Xu Zhengping and Si Wenbo said, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Zuo Dajun were a little surprised, but they all understood after thinking about it.
Several people continued to look at the Second Earth while saying that the solar system and the places around it were worth visiting.
You know, from the time we landed on the moon to now, the scope of human activities has been very large. Not to mention other things, with the solar system as the center and the surrounding ten light-years covered by the virtual universe, there are many places worth visiting.
