Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 42 Supplementary Plan
Longevity and immortality are very attractive to people of any era.

Who doesn’t want to live for hundreds of years?
If it were before, then this picture cake would be a scam, but after the efficacy of red gas was announced, this picture cake became really promising.

In fact, the new government also understands that the current human population gap is very large.It stands to reason that if this kind of drug is really successfully researched, it should be widely available to all people.

But firstly, this technology has contraceptive sequelae, and secondly, it is a problem of human nature.Promoting rice and fighting against rice and hatred, and empty slogans of unity and struggle cannot compare with the substantive benefits. The power is in the hands of the new government, and it can be used to strengthen people's fighting spirit. Why not use it.

As for the idle people who know nothing and want to contribute nothing, the new government can only say sorry.

Human beings under the current situation cannot afford to support idle people.

Everything must be compromised for survival.

In order to cooperate with this plan, experts also created a civilization contribution coin system.A system that is different from daily currency. It was mainly created to cooperate with the "White Paper on Application Standards of Life-Related Technologies". The general content is that the Civilization Contribution Coin is used as the standard for measuring life-span technology, and the Civilization Contribution Coin is linked to scientific contribution. ,

Of course, other ways to obtain it have also been considered, such as major projects specially approved by the new government, such as participating in aircraft construction, and you can obtain civilization contribution coins.

The purpose is to stimulate people's potential as workers.

Some people feel that this is too inhumane and even deprives many people of their personal rights, which is no different from exploiting labor.How could the new government not know this?But there is no way. If there are still billions of human beings, there is no need to do this.

Of course, since it is just a rough idea, many details such as whether it will be linked to daily currency have not yet been clearly planned.

This hibernation plan has been on Yue Yuan's desk for two months, but Yue Yuan has yet to approve it. The reason is that he, including the leaders of various departments, still has illusions about controllable nuclear fusion research and the warp engine.

In this way, two months passed.

The tepid progress of the two projects finally made Yue Yuan make up his mind.

"Hibernation Project" officially kicked off.

To this end, Yue Yuan hosted another enlarged meeting.

After all the talents had arrived, Yue Yuan, dressed in military uniform, stepped onto the podium. He looked at the dark crowd of heads and spoke into the microphone: "Comrades, I won't say any more polite words. I believe you all already know something about this meeting." Understood. Yes, as you can see on the personal data terminal, there is only one motion at this meeting, and that is the vote on the "Hibernation Plan."

"You heard it right, it's the Hibernation Plan. Maybe some people have known the reason in advance, but some people still don't know what's going on. So please allow me to explain the background and necessity of this plan."

"First of all, I want to tell everyone that the total reserves of nuclear fission minerals on Callisto have been proven. After many calculations by relevant experts, it was finally confirmed that its reserves can only be used by us humans for 70 years. If we follow today's If life continues without taking any action, then in 70 years we will die on Callisto due to resource exhaustion."

After Yue Yuan explained the background of the birth of the "Hibernation Project" in detail, he continued: "According to calculations by scientists in the relevant field, after we complete the construction of the spacecraft, it will take 30 years to accelerate it and make it reach 1% of the speed of light, and decelerate it. The same is true for the stage. After counting the nuclear fission fuel consumed by acceleration and deceleration, we have little available energy."

"The "Hibernation Plan" was born to solve this problem. It is essentially an energy redistribution plan. As we all know, solving energy problems can also be divided into two ways: increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. Today, we have lost the sun. There is no source to turn on, so we can only reduce expenditure." "In order to have enough energy to cross the chasm of the galaxy and allow human beings to continue, we must unite and take action."

After finishing the explanation, Yue Yuan briefly recounted the main contents of the plan, then paused and waited for a period of time to allow the participants to think and digest.

After seeing that the time was almost up, Yue Yuancai said: "Now, if you have any suggestions or opinions on this plan, you can feel free to say it!"

After Yue Yuan finished speaking, there was a burst of rustling conversation again in the venue, as if there was too little time to digest.Seeing this situation, he didn't urge it, he just waited quietly for everyone to think it through.

After a while, the chatter finally gradually became quieter. Just when Yue Yuan spoke again, a voice suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker equipment in the venue.

"Chief, I have a suggestion."

Speak up is the tone set at the beginning of the meeting, so it is normal for anyone to raise any concerns before a vote.

Although the sound came from the amplification equipment, Yue Yuan felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, so he raised his eyes and looked towards the direction where the scientists were gathered, and sure enough he saw someone in the front row with his mouth facing the microphone.

At this moment, the spokesperson's name lit up on the big screen behind Yue Yuan.

Gander!

"Dr. Gan, please speak." Yue Yuan nodded towards Gan De.

"I see that the plan does not indicate the exact time of departure. It only says that after the construction of the spacecraft is completed, it will set sail on a selected date. There is a problem here. According to the spacecraft construction plan, the spacecraft will be completed in about 17 years, but I want to tell you something Yes, we will probably have to wait another 23 to 25 years or so before we can set off."

Gander first presented his conclusion, and then began to explain the reason: "You have not forgotten that it was not only our sun that exploded with supernovae that year, but also the Centauri triple star system. From a time point of view, the Centauri triple star system Star systems were struck earlier than our sun, but their material ejections did not reach us."

Yes, it is them.

Astronomical observations in recent years have determined that not one of the Centauri triple star systems was bombed, but all three.

Gander paused for a moment and asked everyone to recall the report he had made before continuing: "In other words, our spacecraft will need the help of Callisto as a shield to withstand the impact of material ejections."

A supernova explosion involves not only the first round of gamma ray damage at the time of the explosion, but also the subsequent material ejection that reaches 10% of the speed of light.

The sun was blown to nothing, and the Centauri triple star system that was destroyed together in the same disaster must have been the same.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Yue Yuan immediately looked at the members of the scientific team who had made a detailed plan: "Have you considered this part of the energy consumption?"
