Chapter 125: Curvature Trials
And these economic problems are exactly what the government is currently worried about.
The operation of the economy is an objective law.
Objective laws do not occur by human will. Even if the current planned economy is the main body, there will still be quite a lot of contradictions.
Especially the deficit of state-owned enterprises seems unacceptable. If the company has to pay wages, if it has no money, it can only embezzle the financial funds of downstream enterprises and form debts. If the wages cannot be paid, workers may have resentment.
In addition, the living standards of the people have not been greatly improved, even though they have entered the era of nuclear fusion, limited productivity and population can only be invested in the construction of the mothership.
At this moment, Lin Qiuyue, who was following behind, made an opinion: "So is it still a cost issue in the end?"
"As the price of electricity continues to decline, the profitability of these heavy industrial factories will slowly return to the cost line. As long as the price of electricity drops by 15%, these metal smelting factories will not lose money, and many high-energy-consuming manufacturing will also return to the cost line. I will find a way to complete this task as soon as possible."
"At that time, the semiconductor industry can restart and the survival of electronic products can also be further launched."
"The living standards and consumption levels of the people can also be greatly improved. The government can also get more taxes. Let's wait for a while."
"You are right..." Zhang Ran felt a little guilty when he looked at the busy production team. "Our development now is a bit biased towards heavy industry, but there is no breakthrough in light industry. Alas, time is still too tight."
In theory, the emergence of nuclear fusion can greatly improve living standards, but in fact, there is no...
This is not the government's corruption or the people's failure to work hard, but...
Productivity is always limited. Human beings lack too much, so they can only invest limited productivity in places where they are needed more.
But all government staff knew in their hearts that temporary enthusiasm could not last forever.
The human civilization in Kunlun Mountains is indeed very tenacious, full of vitality, and happy. Even if it encounters setbacks, it quickly survives and devotes itself to production with a strong will.
However, who doesn't want to live a better life?
Spiritual rewards are very important, but material rewards are equally important. At least they cannot be too bad. There must be a process of slowly improving.
If the changes of the times do not affect the lives of ordinary people, then this era is not a good era.
"I have a very strange idea..." Zhang Ran suddenly said, "If that revolution appeared in an era with more developed productivity, would it be better? It appeared too early, would it burn its energy too early?"
"But if the technologically advanced era, will it be better if the average wealth is better? If everyone can eat well, wear warm clothes, and live in a house, the children can receive a good education and medical services can be guaranteed, will there be more ideals and less market philanthropy?"
Lin Qiuyue glanced at him without an answer.
Even though she is knowledgeable and talented, she is not very good at this.
On the contrary, the President of Parliament Zhou Chengfeng shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you imagine that human society is too simple. Technology can change life, but it cannot change human nature. Education can be solved by online education, but high-quality medical services may always have gaps before truly realizing the artificial intelligence revolution."
"As long as there is a gap, there will always be a gap between the rich and the poor."
"I think it is difficult to have a vigorous revolution in the era of advanced technology. Because technology is developed, it is difficult to have human starve to death. A small amount of benefits can meet the individual's living needs."
"Since that's the case, is there really a revolutionary ground? I think it's very difficult."
"If there was no cosmic disaster, it would be difficult for our human civilization to set foot on the universe, and we should still stay on our own planet."
Zhou Chengfeng sighed and said, "I think the probability of cyberpunk is higher. The poor are addicted to the metaverse, playing with people or things in the virtual world, and the rich enjoy the real world and play with the real world. This should be an evolutionary trend in the future..."
Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment and was convinced by Zhou Chengfeng.
When traversing various dynasties, peasants cannot survive and rebel, so they will rebel. If they are poor, they will think of change. This principle is all common.
In the era of advanced technology, a little redundant productivity can support the poor... As long as you have a bit of food, who will stand up and rebel? Where are so many heroes in the world?
However, the prospect described by Zhou Chengfeng is really too pessimistic.
He finally sighed, "Improving the living standard is important, but more important is spiritual construction. Without spiritual improvement, human beings may soon degenerate and lose the motivation to move forward."
"In a very wealthy society, how many people are motivated? Even I don't want to work all day long... Lu Qiming has been urging me in the past two months, and I am now a working person."
"When this disaster is over, do you want to develop light industry?"
Lin Qiuyue heard his subtext and asked, "I can't help you with light industry. There is still a lot of room for optimization of nuclear fusion, reducing costs, and it takes a lot of energy. After that, I want to study that alien creature..."
"No need for your help, the legacy of the earth is enough for us to eat for a long time. Let's get the 7-nanometer chip first. You can tell me if you have any needs."
Zhang Ran naturally would not be stingy about Lin Migrant workers who could make money for themselves.
He now holds 4,000 creation energy, which is equivalent to the previous 20,000 creation energy, and he will never be stingy in investing in technology!
“Nothing needed now…”
"Your Highness...we have a need!" Zero, who was following behind, suddenly patted Sakurai who was dazed next to him.
Sakurai was stunned for a moment. She was addicted to various macro narratives and could not extricate herself. Nouns such as "fiscal deficit" and "spiritual construction" made her feel a sense of excitement in her heart.
She was originally the kind of person who yearned for power centers...
Immediately afterwards, I found that His Highness was looking at him, showing a standard, flattering sunflower smile.
She said stumblingly: "I hope Your Highness will come to us more to review the results. We are working very hard!"
"It...is now like a puppy, able to understand many instructions. There was no danger during this period. We think this alien life can be used."
"By the way, we gave it a name called 'Jelly'. It will now pay a little attention to ordinary humans."
Sakurai broadcasts some photos from his mobile phone... The most iconic action of this "jelly" is to fly to a person's head and bounce, which looks very q-bounce, like a big dragon ball.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I'll go see your achievements in a while (invite you to dinner)!"
...
After about half an hour, all the senior officials gathered in the captain's room of the "Oriental Stone".
This time there were a lot of people coming, including government officials, military representatives, workers representatives, and a large number of media reporters who had been looking at all this curiously. The total number of people may be two thousand!
The beautiful host Natasha was broadcasting in front of the TV station: "Hello, everyone! I am now inside the Oriental Stone to visit this new spacecraft. The behemoth you see now is a curvature generator."
"After a long period of busyness, our Oriental Panshi mothership finally completed the construction of 100 curvature generators."
"Its use requires huge energy support, and fortunately we have invented controlled nuclear fusion technology that can provide so much energy."
"Today is the day of the East Panshi, curvature trial."
"The following will be explained to you the basic operating principles of the spacecraft by the main person in charge of the Ark Laboratory, chief designer and professor Fan Tianyu..."
...
Professor Fan seemed a little nervous in front of the reporter.
He is not the chief designer at all, he is just a porter of nature.
There is no curvature principle at all, because I don't understand it at all.
So, it is all about engineering things... including the "ppx" structure, which is the most common functional structure in Void Amoeba. It is a bit similar to the Atp in the cell and can save a lot of energy.
It has to be said that ppx is a very efficient energy storage structure, which is more than 20 times more efficient than the strongest lithium battery at present.
Moreover, its stability is extremely high and it is the research direction of the next generation of human batteries.
There are also "dense electronic cloud materials". The dense electronic cloud phenomenon is a new physics discovered at present. Due to some special reasons, the electron cloud density of certain materials on the Void Amoeba is denser than normal. This leads to the better performance of the material on its body than normal materials.
"Maybe it is the speed of light that...We guess that the universe where the Void Amoeba was born is a little smaller than our universe. The extremely slight changes in the low-level system have also changed the macroscopic phenomenon."
Anyway, I introduced some "simple" things that can be understood by the audience. The female host, Miss Natasha, didn't say anything at all, and she had no idea what to ask...
As for the real principle of curvature, Professor Fan himself doesn’t know, so how can he introduce it?
"Ahem... Finally, let's talk about the principle of curvature. The curvature movement of a spacecraft relies on topological linkage between the small universes, which is a very safe way. The curvature bubble will protect the space we are in and produce traces of gravity on the surrounding matter."
"The small universe is a very stable space form, and their lifespan is very long... The energy contained in these small universes is much larger than nuclear fusion."
Until ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran received news from several departments.
"Energy room, check it correctly!"
“Signal control is ready!”
"One hundred curvature generators, check it correctly, please indicate!"
Zhang Ran shouted: "I announce that the first trial of the Oriental Panshi has officially begun!"
One hundred curvature generation devices (flagellates) slowly "swim". After the surrounding three-dimensional space is interfered with, a complex negative energy field is formed.
The entire huge spacecraft was wrapped in a large "soap bubble", and the surrounding starlight was distorted.
Immediately afterwards, the entire space and the mothership inside started to move.
"Success!"
"The journey of the Eastern Rock is 1,000 meters...2,000 meters, and is accelerating. Everyone, look at the Ark outside the window."
The original Ark was about 3,000 kilometers away. From this angle, it was very clear. The large group of reporters inside were screaming loudly, and the camera "clicked" sound filled the entire cabin.
"It's really like a spaceship in soap bubbles. Can this soap bubble structure really pass through the high-dimensional world?"
"Professor Fan, what's the relationship between the small universe and the curvature bubble?"
Professor Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said not to ask specific theories. Why did he keep asking? He cleared his throat, "In essence, they are all distorted spaces... but the small universe is more stable, and our curvature bubbles need energy support..."
...
Half a quarter of an hour later, there was a burst of lively applause in the captain's room.
Zhang Ran is still very confident. In the past few months, major laboratories have been making relevant preparations and have experimented many times. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many reporters to be invited.
If you succeed at one time, your psychology will naturally reduce a lot of stress.
"The current speed is 300 meters per second, and this speed is not high... there is still room for upwards."
"Collect the curvature changes around the area and improve relevant data."
The first voyage lasted for a truly 15 hours, and the stability was quite satisfactory.
As long as energy is transported and the linkage between the small universes is ensured, the curvature bubble can maintain the three-dimensional spatial structure.
Theoretically, in a low curvature environment, the maximum speed of the Void Rock can reach 50 km/sec. In a complex curvature environment, it can reach 500 km/sec, which is equivalent to one-sixth of the speed of light.
This is an extremely high speed that human aircraft cannot achieve.
This live news broadcast greatly boosted the morale of the people in Kunlun Mountains. The black technology of curvature technology has been realized, so what about the high-dimensional universe?
Even there are many more memorialists in the Martyrs' Cemetery... Without the sacrifice of the ten-person hero group, there would be no better today.
Chapter completed!
