Chapter 338 The feeling of being roasted on the fire
In the Brain Computer Center, Ye Ming's office was full of laughter.
"Look, is this old lady so angry?" Director Niu, whom I haven't seen for several days, came today and sat in Ye Ming's office, looking like an old woman doing something cunning.
Ye Ming and He Mo couldn't help laughing.
Dr. Anne was originally accepted as a favor to Mr. Huo Laien, and he was also asked to engage in image publicity projects. Unexpectedly, this upright female doctor could not hold back her excitement and directly sent out a message.
posted a tweet about "Fantasy Journey"...
Let's put it this way, there was an uproar on Twitter, and many excited netizens began to call her a white-eyed wolf, forgetting who sent her to school, and then found out that she was a student of Professor Huo Laien.
Naturally, the word traitor hung over her head, and it was obvious to the naked eye that a cyber violence was about to start.
However, as the scientific community fell into disgrace, and the domestic public became moved after hearing the news, they went to Twitter to support him, and soon those remarks against Dr. Anne disappeared.
In this public opinion storm, the Western media did not take a position at all, as if they did not notice it at all. Only a few right-wing media published some sour comments.
This means that Americans can still handle it clearly - there are still more than a dozen people waiting to send back the monthly number. You have pissed off the person who asked for the monthly number. What's the matter?
"It's mainly because the white supremacists are a little bit defensive, but others are fine." Ye Ming shook his head with a smile, and said with emotion: "Actually, the most important thing is that the scientific community has realized that the scientific research environment, especially astronomy and cosmology
Now only we can provide a scientific research environment for students."
Director Niu then asked with a smile: "Is there only one Webb telescope in the West now?"
"Yeah, almost. But once our space observatory is built, there will be nothing to do with Webb."
"It seems that the water in the spring river is warm and the duck prophet, the ancients sincerely did not deceive me."
Ye Ming: "..."
"Haha, no more joking, let's get down to business." Director Niu stopped laughing, pondered for a few seconds and then said seriously: "The idea above is that we can consider Mars."
Ye Ming was startled for a moment and became stunned: "Why go to Mars?"
"Because... Mars has a greater symbolic meaning." Director Niu looked at Ye Ming with a stern expression.
He has been dealing with Ye Ming for so long and knows that Ye Ming is an engineer at heart - Ye Ming has already said this himself.
And engineers...except for Musk, most of them are very pragmatic.
In the past few years, although Ye Ming has been very ambitious and courageous, in the final analysis, it is still a choice made out of a pragmatic stance.
For example, developing quantum computers, developing strong artificial intelligence, and developing controllable nuclear fusion - when it was discovered that the upper limit of deuterium and tritium fusion was not enough, helium-3 fusion was immediately launched, and even the engine plan was launched at the same time...
These may seem like big steps, but in fact, every step has practical significance.
Landing on Mars has no practical significance.
The earth has not reached the point where it can no longer accommodate the population - even if the population expands to 230 billion, according to the current level of energy development, it will be easy to support it in the future.
Mars is so far away, and its core has cooled down. It doesn’t even have a magnetic field. You still have to modify the atmosphere...
Let's put it this way, unless the sun enters the period of decline, turns into a red giant and begins to expand, and the earth is no longer habitable, will it consider terraforming Mars - but that will be hundreds of millions of years later.
Therefore, when Musk invited Ye Ming to go to Mars, Ye Ming refused immediately.
"We need to accomplish a greater goal to determine our true dominant position after mankind enters the interstellar era." After Director Niu finished speaking, he was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at Ye Ming and smiled: "Ye Ming, what do you want?
Have you ever thought about it, when energy is no longer a shackle, when productivity is greatly liberated, when... Intrachonair is realized, what will be the structure of this society? What kind of political system will it be?"
Ye Ming was stunned and raised his eyebrows.
After a moment, he shook his head: "I haven't thought about it, but I think...
…Then it should still be a community with a shared future for mankind.”
"You should actually consider it, because there is a high probability that you can see that day." Director Niu smiled and said: "But you are right, we actually have guidance, which is the community."
"But this is not a quarreling body, nor is it a dictatorial body, but a community that needs to be led. I might even say more selfishly, it is a community led by us."
"Perhaps you have heard a saying that there has never been a rise without bloodshed."
"But in fact, we have already had an abortion once - I believe you don't want to have another abortion, right?"
"Therefore, we must take the lead in all aspects and not give the old forces any chance or illusion."
After Director Niu finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup.
He believed that Ye Ming could understand what he said.
In silence, Ye Ming nodded slowly: "Is it true that this moon landing still did not achieve the intended effect?"
"It has been achieved, but it has not been fully achieved - in the old economic, trade and social systems, the United States and the United States still have influence, and those countries still have... garrisons."
"International politics is a complex issue, and opponents still have many cards they can use to seize future interests. Under the premise and goal of maintaining peace, we can only truly achieve success by pushing our overall strength and influence to a higher level.
The real and deserved position.”
"Revival is a great project, but it is not a project that can be left to future generations - what future generations need is for us to take more and bigger steps and solve more troubles, rather than leaving the troubles to them."
Ye Ming exhaled slowly.
Since the higher authorities want to see the space competition through to the end...
"When will the engineering department be established?"
"The invitation will be established as soon as the invitation comes back." Director Niu looked at Ye Ming with a smile on his face, as if he was not worried that Ye Ming would raise any objections: "At that time, you will still be the commander-in-chief."
"What about the schedule?"
"Let me tell you some news." Director Niu said softly: "Musk's engine has been completed and the spacecraft is being assembled. At the same time, there are also signs that their helium 3 reactor is about to complete the engine design."
"We don't know where Musk is flying to, but if we fly to Mars... you know, with mature theories and designs, we are actually only ahead of the gravity field."
"The current expectations and emotions of the people do not allow us to watch them set foot on Mars first."
"So, you know what it feels like to be roasted on a fire, right?"
Ye Ming coughed violently.
After a moment of silence, he slowly exhaled and suddenly smiled.
