From black technology to super engineering.

Chapter 456 Asking the Star
Brain Center.

Ye Ming and Director Niu seemed to be walking in the garden between the dormitory and the office building.

Originally, there was only one glass passage in the small garden for easy passage. Later, Ye Ming thought that since the garden was so big, it couldn’t be idle, so he took advantage of the Arbor Day of the year and led everyone to symbolically plant trees in the garden. A few trees were handed over to the landscape company to create a natural garden, and built a circular glass corridor and two sun houses.

He made a good plan, thinking that this place can be used as a small world for everyone to take a walk, chat, or even talk about love.But in fact... no one came at all, but some "second-generation students" in the research center really liked this place and regarded it as their little paradise.

Now that the kids are at school, it's a great place to chat.

"Any genetic modification of a certain species group, even if it is a sample with evolution, we must be absolutely cautious, let alone fall on humans."

Ye Ming walked into one of the sunshine huts, wiped the stool and found it was very clean, and then sat down, looking at Director Niu with a serious expression.

Mogu's gene research project has not been made academic disclosure for the time being, but CNY must not hide it.

And he also knows that Lao Niu, and even the entire system, are... also very concerned about this.

Not to mention the previous scientific research results on the life cycle on the earth, everyone knows it all. In order to live a long time, in addition to genes, more depends on modern living conditions and medical conditions.

But now... it's different.

There is a race of intelligent civilization on the blue planet that has twice the lifespan of humans, and that race is also extremely advanced in biotechnology, and there is even evidence that the earth's creatures have the same origin with their creatures...

Tell me, who has no idea?

"Well, caution must be necessary." Director Niu put his hands on his waist, with the same serious expression, he looked around, and then sat down in front of Ye Ming.

"But this temptation is too great - I don't mean targeting a certain individual or a certain group, but from the standpoint and perspective of the entire human race." Director Niu looked at Ye Ming and said seriously: "If the average life expectancy of human beings It can be improved by 100 years—or even 50 years, or even 30 to [-] years, which will be a huge boost to the productivity of the entire human civilization.”

"After we entered the new industrial revolution, it seems that the attributes of human producers have been reduced, but the attributes of creation and consumption are the key to promoting the continuous progress of human civilization in the future." Director Niu paused: "You will not Deny it?"

"Of course I won't deny it." Ye Ming sighed softly after being silent for a few seconds: "Actually, what we are worried about is whether it can benefit the entire human race."

As he spoke, he looked at Director Niu and said earnestly: "If the cost is too high, or the technology is too difficult, and it can only become a minority benefit...then I don't think it should appear."

Director Niu fell silent.

He knows Ye Ming too well. Sometimes this guy is so talkative that he doesn't care what you say, but when he starts to insist on something... he can't even point a gun at it.

—Besides, who could point a gun at him?
And...he had to admit that Ye Ming was right.

If you can live to be two hundred years old and become a minority, then for the entire human race...

After a long time, he took a long breath.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Now Mogu is still conducting multi-species DNA analysis, and we still need more remains of Canglan Stars at different stages for analysis, and it is best to preserve them intact." Ye Ming said the research progress, His expression became a little calmer: "Only remains are found in the wreckage of warships in space, and there are almost no valuable bones found in the ruins of the space city."

"Only after analyzing the genes of the Canglan Star people, and even the genes of the Canglan Star animal mammals, can we proceed to the next step if we draw reliable conclusions. And this time... must be long, and it must be long of."

Director Niu nodded slightly, and suddenly asked: "Then tell me, where did the Canglan Stars in the space city go? Such a big space city...is it impossible for there to be no bones left?"

What Director Niu said is also a big mystery of the ruins of the Canglan Star.

According to the preliminary survey of the remains of the space city in the past year, everyone agrees that the space city of Canglanxing is designed in sections and closed. Even if the core is dried and shattered, some intact residential areas will definitely be preserved.This has also been confirmed in past detections.

So the question is, what about those people?

Without core energy, after a person dies, it is undoubtedly equivalent to being placed in an ice coffin. Even though it will be self-corrupted, except for the skeletons of astronauts found in some of the wreckage of warships, there are not many found in the space city. Traces of remains.

It's as if... the residents of the space city either completely turn into dust after they die, or disappear collectively.

And to be completely turned into dust...

Let's put it this way, not tens of thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, I'm afraid it's a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, recently, Sheng Fei's team was desperately looking for corpses in the ruins, and even used large cutting devices, but they found nothing.

"do not know."

"..."

"I really don't know." Ye Ming spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Maybe he was caught, maybe he escaped, or maybe it was all turned into ashes - the remains of the space city measured so far, the earliest Metal is 1 years old, which is actually a long time."

"Well, if you say you don't know, I'll pretend you don't know." Director Niu took a long breath and said with a pun.

Ye Ming nodded.He knew that when the old cow came to ask him, it obviously not only represented his will.

"But Ye Ming, I think..." Director Niu hesitated to speak, and finally stared at him: "You don't want to take another look, how far can human civilization go?"

Ye Ming was stunned.

"Frankly speaking, I really want to." Director Niu looked at him and said frankly: "Not only I think, but even all the people who support you now... want to see it, and want to take a closer look. Where can I go, and what will I encounter after crossing the wormhole."

"This is an important reason for gathering the strength of all mankind to carry out interstellar development."

Speaking of this, Director Niu stood up and patted Ye Ming's shoulder lightly: "I will be fifty this year, and cryonics is still just a nonsense technology, otherwise I really want to freeze myself, take a look What will it look like a hundred years from now?"

Ye Ming: "..."

"Okay, I'll take a step first."

Ye Ming sent Director Niu to the gate, and when he vaguely turned around, he saw a few strands of white hair on the old Niu's temples.

It can be seen that the director of CNY, who is Jizhi Technology and the central nerve between him and the highest power, has worried a lot over the years.

Back in the office, Ye Ming sat on a chair, silently recalling Director Niu's words.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

After a while, he called Mo Gu.

"Sister, you can try the protein of the eighth subfamily on mice first."

"Huh? Go straight to the white mice? Don't you experiment on local creatures?"

"Well, anyway, after the local animal experiment, the experiment will also be performed on mice. Now there are still seven months before you arrive at Canglan Planet. Experiment seven months in advance, and you will have seven more months of observation time."

"OK then."

During the phone call, Mo Gu was silent for a few seconds, and then asked softly: "Did someone urge you? Can't bear the pressure?"

"Well...not really, it's just that the experiment will have to go sooner or later, so let's go first."

"Then...what if?" Mo Gu paused: "I mean, if it works. But what if..."

"In case it doesn't benefit the entire human race..." Ye Ming bit his lip and stared at the void in front of him.

"Then I will calmly choose my destiny as a complete human being."

... (this is really hard to write)

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ming closed his eyes, took a long breath, and soon continued to work.

Half a month later, Mogu returned from Banna and entered her "vacation" time—it was said to be a vacation, but in fact she only stayed at home for one day, and then returned directly to the brain-computer center and began to preside over various tasks.

Apart from her, the attitudes of the rest of the people were pretty much the same. Almost no one took this "vacation" seriously.

In fact, everyone knows that this one-and-a-half-month-long vacation is essentially a "two-handed preparation"-in case there is any mistake when crossing the wormhole, then this vacation is the last time for the scientific expedition team members and their families.

But how can people who have the opportunity to investigate it care about this?
Whether it's fame, profit, or simply the pursuit of science, to put it bluntly, these people have long put life and death aside.

But these people put life and death aside... The people on the ground who sent them there would not dare.

Therefore, even in the important new year of 2030, Ye Ming had no time to reunite with his family. Instead, he stayed at the Dalian Shipyard the whole time, and with an acceptance team of as many as 200 people, conducted a comprehensive and thorough inspection and acceptance of the Asterisk.

On NO.2030 in January 18, the acceptance team completed the acceptance work on the Interstar and ignited the engine for the first time.

January NO.19, the spacecraft driving team officially boarded the ship for the first take-off in the air.On the second day, start the high-dimensional space membrane test.

On January 22, the Asterisk left the pier and headed for Xichang at a constant speed at the speed of an ordinary plane.

Ye Ming took a special plane and followed closely behind.

It's not that he didn't ask the asterisk to fly over together, but... everyone refused to let it.This made him extremely depressed, and he read a poem on the spot.

——The soil in front of the door is exhausted, and there are no tiles on the house.The ten fingers are not stained with mud, and the scales live in the building.

He is the poor potter.

With the arrival of the Wenxing Star in Xichang, all the materials and equipment that had been prepared were also successively delivered to the ship. At the same time, the expedition team also arrived at the Aerospace City and began to conduct "actual combat" simulations.

On February 23rd, facing the chilly spring breeze, Wenxing carried [-] scientific expedition team members, as well as various animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish... embarked on a journey full of human hope, but the future is uncertain travel.

……

"You said, take live edible poultry and livestock to another interstellar...Are we human beings the only one?"

In the meeting room, Director Zhang's hearty laughter can be heard endlessly.

Everyone laughed at the same time.

"That's not necessarily the case. What if other civilizations go to colonize? If they colonize, they must bring this kind of breeding animals?"

"But we are not colonists, we are scientific research!"

"Well, even if this group of people goes to colonize, it's almost the same."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Director Zhang glanced at Ye Ming without leaving a trace.

In addition to occupations and disciplines, the ratio of men to women of these [-] people has also reached an amazing balance-men and women are almost the same.

This approach has naturally won unanimous praise from certain groups.

Those people are even calling the scientific expedition team and the domestic aerospace department on Twitter, Weibo and other social media...

But in fact……

In fact, only a very small number of people, or those who designate the plan, know that this is not to satisfy any political correctness or to please certain groups.

But... to prepare for the worst!
If something goes wrong, these 300 people can still...survive, reproduce, and build civilization!

But this purpose... can never be said, or even mentioned, it can only be understood!
Ye Ming sensed Director Zhang's gaze, and he raised his head from the monitor - the data showing the asterisk was normal, its posture was perfect, and it was constantly accelerating.

In a maximum of two hours, the Asterisk will escape the gravitational pull of the earth, then enter space, and fly to the distant celestial body YE-2023, which is the entrance of the wormhole.

Of course, there were up to four months of travel in between.

Moreover, this is also the most accident-prone time period of this trip.

Because of the long trip and being in a narrow space...it is easy to cause people to have various negative emotions-this is not the kind of space mission before, but an interstellar shuttle that spans 200 million light years!
Therefore, in addition to the on-board psychologist intervening at any time, the ground team also kept in touch and cooperated with their work at all times, and even handed over most of the remote control authority and work to them.

Letting the crew immerse themselves in their work can undoubtedly stabilize their emotions.

"For colonization...you have to farm land and build houses." Ye Ming took the topic with a smile.

"Then we are familiar with this job!" Director Zhang laughed and said, "There are so many people in the farm this time, they just went straight to farming."

At this time, someone asked curiously: "By the way, Mr. Ye, tell me, does this colonization belong to human beings or our country?"

Ye Ming coughed suddenly.

This thing... he knew, but he didn't say it.

——There is currently an international conference being held to discuss this matter.

But how to put it, all the current space missions, including this manned traversal through the wormhole, are paid by the state-this is still just money, not technology.

If other people really want to take the bus of interstellar colonization, at least you have to pay for the ticket.
