On June 20th, the International Joint Space Conference was held as scheduled.
The meeting lasted for five days. During the five days, bosses from all over the world conducted multiple rounds of consultations, exchanged opinions candidly, and finally reached an important consensus hailed by the media as "determining the fate of mankind."
That is to say: human civilization has entered a new historical stage, the star civilization stage.
At the meeting, it was clearly stated that human beings should abandon confrontation in the fields of interstellar exploration and space development, and at the same time establish an effective cooperation mechanism to shoulder the common agenda of pushing the entire human civilization to a higher and happier future.
Based on this program, many previous space-oriented organizations were announced to be cancelled, and a new military organization called the "Convention on the Joint Defense of Human Space" was established.
The organization will set up two base camps, the earth base camp is permanently located in Shanghai, and the space base camp is permanently located at the moon-space base.
At the same time, the meeting also announced that the Blue Star Joint Scientific Expedition Team will be established to lay the foundation for mankind's future interstellar colonization plan.
In addition, the meeting also proposed cooperation plans in various fields such as energy and food, and set the goal of comprehensively solving the problem of global human hunger within five years.
Finally, a group photo with the leader in the middle and Mao Mei standing beside him was uniformly used as a news picture by all media in all countries.
When the press release was released, the entire Internet immediately went into a boil.
…
In Ye Ming's office, Zhou Xiangnan and his two sons were chatting with Ye Ming.
Well...his twin sons, now over three years old, especially like to play with Yin Ta.
And Yin Ta also particularly likes human cubs and has a great time playing with the two little guys.
"From now on, our national flag will never be separated from position C." Zhou Xiangnan smiled at Ye Ming.
"That's inevitable." Ye Ming held the teacup and looked at the other party with a smile - he could probably guess what Zhou Xiangnan had in mind when he came to find him.
Since the establishment of the new "Taiyue" and the announcement of the formation of a joint scientific expedition team to the Blue Star, almost everyone in the Brain Computer Center has become more excited.
Put it this way, any scientific researcher cannot refuse the temptation to face the afterglow of another interstellar civilization.
Even though Zhou Xiangnan usually shouts loud slogans, saying he refuses involution and boycotts overtime, he arranges a lot of work for his graduate students - this guy is really a madman in materials science.
Hmm...this may also have something to do with Sheng Fei being under the same roof.
At present, Sheng Fei has become the academic leader of the new generation of materials science in China, the kind who holds the reins. As a scholar in the same field, he is naturally competitive.
At the very least, it must become a "double gem".
At present, materials science is mainly focused on chip materials, and a large number of results have been produced. For example, Sheng Fei's group has produced a new material called artificial muscle, which not only has extremely high strength, but also has extremely strong
Due to its plasticity and wear resistance, JiZhi Technology has begun to use this material to try to build new robots. According to Sheng Fei's outlook, this artificial muscle material can also be used to replace human mechanical prostheses in the future.
But Zhou Xiangnan believes that under current conditions, biological materials are still almost useless.
However, after Ye Ming proposed that the technology tree of the Blue Star people touched the biological field, his mind became active.
Using the biotechnology of the Blue Planet people to realize the re-evolution of human biological science - even if it is just a guess at the moment, once it succeeds, it will definitely push humanity to a higher level again.
You said, how could he be willing to miss this opportunity?
It's just...
Everyone knows that Ye Ming's back door is the most difficult to get through.
Zhou Xiangnan looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes: "Mr. Ye, whether it is a joint scientific examination or something else, we must be in a leadership position, right?"
"Well, of course." Ye Ming was not in a hurry, and said to the other party with a smile: "Although the final candidates and plans have not been determined yet, our people will account for at least two-thirds."
"Well...then what majors do you need?"
"Astronomy and cosmology are definitely required, and then biology, medicine, geology, archeology, mechanics, nuclear physics, etc."
"Where are the materials? Are they not in the material field?" Zhou Xiangnan said eagerly: "Look at how clever the design of Canglan Star's spaceship is..."
"I think that's it. Besides, the preliminary analysis has been done, and it's just high-temperature resistant steel."
"Um...that's just what it's called..."
Seeing his anxious look, Ye Ming couldn't help laughing: "Old Zhou, are you willing to let go of your son?"
"Why am I reluctant to give up?" Zhou Xiangnan glanced at his son who was playing around Yin Ta and didn't know his last name: "Is this the time to talk about the love between children?"
"..."
Ye Ming smiled and shook his head.
Of course he meant what he said just now - how could he not need experts in the field of materials science?
Apart from anything else, nothing is currently known about the carrier material for the biological circuit channels on the spacecraft.
Moreover, the field of chip biomaterials is currently very popular, and Zhou Xiangnan is one of the authorities in this field. In the eyes of outsiders, Professor Sheng Fei may be more famous and achieve better results, but in the brain-computer center, everyone actually knows that
Zhou Xiangnan is as good as Sheng Fei in terms of scientific sense and ability.
All he lacks is a little luck.
However, crossing a wormhole for the first time is really not as simple as heaven.
"Lao Zhou, don't get excited. Go back and think about it, and then wait until the specific preparation notice comes out."
"You mean you want me to PK?"
Ye Ming was happy when he heard the word pk: "How can the organization's considerations be called pk? It must be a comprehensive consideration... And even I can't open the back door!"
Zhou Xiangnan looked unconvinced after hearing this: "Nonsense...what about Mo Gu?"
As his words fell, Mo Gu's voice came from outside the door: "Old Zhou, what do you want from me? You are still talking..."
Zhou Xiangnan turned around and saw Mo Gu standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"..."

Watching Zhou Xiangnan leave with the two children, Mo Gu smiled and shook his head.
"Did I ask you to open the back door?"
"Um."
"No wonder, I see him taking his son with him these days. He probably wants to spend more time with the child." Mo Gu adjusted his hair and sighed softly: "His lover has not been in a good mood these past two days.
It seems there is a lot of discussion at home."
"If you have a family, you will definitely not have so much freedom. But what can I say... In fact, this kind of opportunity... let alone you, I don't want to miss it." Ye Ming said with emotion.
Mo Gu then burst into laughter.
These days, she is in a particularly good mood.
First of all, Ye Ming agreed to let her go - of course, there was a premise that the country would propose this plan, and secondly, the country actually proposed this plan, and she is currently the only confirmed candidate.
Therefore, Zhou Xiangnan's very unconvinced rhetorical question came up.
"Forget it, just stay here and wait until us pioneers have made the journey - isn't there a space city? Do you have a plan?"
"No!" Ye Ming became depressed when he mentioned going to the space city.
Previously, before the probe had flown to the Blue Star, he had thought of traveling to the sky under Peng Xiaofei's showoff and temptation - as you can imagine, the resistance was huge.
His father even drew a line and asked him to get married first!
This method of urging marriage... is also absolutely useless.
Well...fortunately I didn't talk about having a grandchild.
But with the discovery of Blue Star, Ye Ming suddenly found that he had no interest in going to space.
If you want to go, you must also cross a wormhole!
That's three million light-years when you close your eyes!
Which scientist do you think can resist this temptation?
If you hear the news in the morning, you will die in the evening!
"Sister Mo, stop showing off, be careful, I am firmly against it." After being depressed, Ye Ming stared at Mo Gu and snorted softly: "How is the sequencing work over there doing?"
"Well... I came here just to talk to you about this." As soon as she mentioned business, Mo Gu's expression became serious. She crossed her legs and raised her legs, resting her hands on her knees, looking at Ye Ming: "Today
The engineering robot has sampled a lot of plants and plans to cooperate with the text deciphering team to classify the organisms."
Ye Ming nodded and signaled Mo Gu to continue.
——Since the discovery of the "Death Rattle" of the Blue Star civilization, the focus of the entire scientific research work has shifted to deciphering the text.
This part of the work is divided into two directions and multiple fields.
The first direction is to use drawing boards with pictures, especially those with pictures of plants and animals, and then use the collection of animal and plant information to recode the text information.
The second direction is to start from basic subjects.
To be more precise, we start with mathematics.
Because in this universe, no matter how the biological forms and physical rules change, the mathematics remains unchanged.
No matter what calculation symbol the Blue Star people use, what base system they use, what expression form... 1 1 must equal 2, this is a self-evident truth.
Now progress is very fast in both directions, especially the second direction, with the assistance of Yin Ta - yes, Ye Ming authorized Yin Ta to retrieve the core data in his own name and use her computing core
to conduct an infinite and exhaustive analysis of the data.
Hmm... By the way, Ye Ming asked Yin Ta a long time ago if she knew the text of Canglan Star. Yinta's answer was that there was nothing about Canglan Star in the permissions and data given to her by the system.
information.
She doesn't even have any information about anything outside of human civilization.
This also proves in a sense that when Yinta was born, it was indeed a bit of a "blank slate".
With the access to long-distance communication, the current Yinta has completely copied Aita's database, and can call on the system's computing power to perform calculations and feed the results back to Aita.
The computing power of the system is certainly not comparable to that of Aita's current quantum computing unit. She can use super simulation to give results in minutes, so the progress is extremely fast. At present, the basic operation symbols and numbers of the Blue Star civilization have been calculated.
It turns out that the Blue Star people use the octal system.
However, the progress in mathematics does not actually contribute much to deciphering the entire writing system. It mainly depends on the content of the painting.
Therefore, these days, Mogu's biological team has been collecting and classifying animals and plants.
"Animals, except for microorganisms, we don't dare to touch other organisms now, so as not to pollute the cabin environment. But for plants, we have analyzed them after collecting them."
Ye Ming nodded: "Any new discoveries?"
"Maybe." Mo Gu nodded slightly: "We found many small animals gathering together under a tall tree species to suck the gel secreted by it."
Ye Ming was slightly startled: "Plant secretions? This... shouldn't be unusual, right?"
The reason why Ye Ming said this is of course because of this phenomenon... there are many of them on the earth.
Not to mention "milk trees", rubber trees alone... are all over the earth, and have even promoted the progress of industry. Natural rubber is still used in many fields today.
Then it would be natural to find a gel secreted for consumption on the Blue Star.
"But this gel contains natural enzymes."
Ye Ming was startled again, and then his eyes brightened - since Mo Gu came to him solemnly, it was obviously not a common sense question.
Yes, natural enzymes are not uncommon on the earth. Many edible plants and animals have natural food enzymes. They affect the state of food all the time - such as the post-ripening of fruits after picking and the natural detoxification of cooled meat.
Tenderization, etc.
Moreover, the enzymes mentioned by Mo Gu are obviously based on earth standards.
"Tell me, what enzyme?"
"The enzyme that catalyzes photosynthesis." Mo Gu breathed out softly: "The experimental results show that it is ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase."
"Huh?" Ye Ming's voice suddenly rose: "What about the content?"
"Very high."
"etc!"
Ye Ming's eyebrows instantly rose.
In order to improve his theoretical level, he had completed all undergraduate and postgraduate courses in biology and medicine - otherwise he would not have been hailed as an all-around genius.
Although he usually claims that "I don't know much", what he means by "I don't know much" is that he is not engaged in work in this field.
If you say he really doesn't understand... that's really a joke.
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase is currently the biggest obstacle for humans in artificial starch!
If... the output of this thing can be like that of natural rubber...
"Please make it clear first. Are you really sure?"
"Sure - I know what you are thinking, but I think we should pay more attention to the biological characteristics of the small animals that eat this enzyme-containing gel." Mogu's eyes sparkled:
"You said, is it possible that these animals can synthesize their own food by eating this enzyme? They can even perform photosynthesis?"
Ye Ming breathed out lightly, then nodded slowly.
He knew that the animals and plants on this planet cannot be simply understood based on the earth's biosphere.
