For a long time, Ye Ming's achievements in the field of natural sciences have concealed his other identity, which is... he is the director of the Brain-Computer Center.
He is an authority on brain science.
In brain science, or in the biological field, there is a forbidden area that humans cannot touch.
——Maintaining the integrity of the human species as a biological entity is also known as maintaining the integrity of the human species.
Since the end of the last century, the concept of human species integrity has been widely discussed in ethical discussions on technologies closely related to the future of humankind, such as human reproductive cloning, stem cell research, human heritable gene editing, and "human enhancement" and "brain-computer connection".
Invocation has become a key concept in ethical argumentation.
At the same time, in various international conventions and legal instruments related to biomedical research, "protecting the integrity of the human species" is also regarded as an important principle and has been generally recognized. (The above two paragraphs are copied)
Based on this principle, any behavior that violates this ethics is strictly prohibited - in the current era of technological explosion, the scientific community can turn a blind eye to certain behaviors that violate the rules, such as directly conducting experiments.
Skipping certain steps, etc. But for things like fetal gene editing, human cloning, etc., this is absolutely not allowed.
but……
As we all know.
When the benefits of something are so great that they cannot be refused...then it will be difficult to be stopped by morality and law.
Cloning is not an advanced technology.
If consciousness, that is, all the information of human brain nerves can be read, then human beings may be able to achieve technological immortality. If, without metaphysics, we think that consciousness is generated by the activity of human brain nerves, then copying a brain
It is theoretically feasible to move activities into the cloned brain.
It is even possible to build a mechanical and electronic environment to match the brain electrical activity generated by human consciousness, thereby achieving the so-called "mechanical ascension".
Therefore, Ye Ming did not dare to think about this at all.
But he had to consider this aspect - not for human beings, but for other civilizations in the universe, or "opponents" or even "enemies".
Over tens of thousands of years, who knows how far those civilizations will develop.
…
Ye Ming knew that Sheng Fei was a man with good brains and courage. Therefore, after arranging a task for Sheng Fei, he thought for a while and added: "I had a brief discussion with Mo Gu just now and felt that Canglan Star
People may have mastered a technology that converts brain signals into electrical signals to achieve intelligent control, so take a look and see if there is anything like a life-support capsule."
Sheng Fei was stunned for a second, and then he shouted as expected: "What the hell? Are you so awesome?"
"What's the point...haven't we already achieved simple brain-computer control now?" Ye Ming calmly downgraded Canglan Star's biotechnology: "Of course, this is just our preliminary guess, what are you going to do next?
Pay attention to it, and then ask Peng Xiaofei or Li Dongsheng for reference, they know the design ideas of smart factories."
"Okay." Sheng Fei has always followed Ye Mingyan's advice. After hearing what Ye Ming said, he nodded in agreement, and then looked at him with burning eyes: "By the way, what do you say about the accelerator?"
"There are no results yet. For such a large investment, the higher-ups must conduct an in-depth evaluation."
"Tsk tsk... If we could really create a substance with that kind of dense structure, wouldn't it be invincible?"
"Invincible guy, the energy intensity is still not good now. We must achieve higher power output in the weapons field before we dare to go out and mess around." Ye Ming picked up the tea cup, tried it and the temperature was just right, then took a big sip: "Hey, your tea
Not bad, where is it?”
"...on the edge of the West Lake."
"Give me some time." Ye Ming took another sip, put down the tea cup, and stood up: "Let's go, let me know if you have news."
"good."
…
After determining the direction and plan, the exploration work becomes orderly and step-by-step - the results of orderliness will generally slow down.
Of course, Ye Ming is not in a hurry.
He believes that as exploration progresses, sooner or later there will be a breaking point.
Time passed slowly like this.
A month later, Ye Ming's proposal to build a circular accelerator, a two-dimensional space membrane generator and a super gravitational wave field generator on the moon was officially approved.
On the same day, the country also issued another 5 trillion yuan of debt. On the day after the debt was issued, the central banks of more than a dozen countries directly announced the purchase of the debt.
But just because the proposal is approved, it doesn’t mean it can be built right away.
You know, such a huge project requires massive resources.
Nowadays, the main production activities of mankind can only be completed by the earth's factories. In order to complete the project, in addition to securing the money, we also need to secure the entire industrial chain.
Therefore, it will adopt a comprehensive bidding process to allow qualified companies and institutions from all over the world to participate in the process.
But the premise is that you must enter Aita's production management system.
Such conditions did not cause much backlash and discussion.
After all... human countries have actually moved towards another form of global cooperation and towards a human community.
The ups and downs of the past few years... have long since disappeared now that humans have crossed the galaxy and are about to travel 2.6 million light-years away in person.
Whether on Twitter, Facebook, or in China, except for some extremely stubborn anti-intellectual groups, the common discussion about this project is...
How far can mankind go in our lifetime?
But bidding is easier said than done...
Well, it's actually not difficult.
Because of the existence of Aita, I don’t know how many years of time have been saved in the design and decomposition of the project.
——Aita has decomposed the three main projects into nearly 20,000 sub-projects, and each project has extremely detailed requirements and explanations.
After the task was given, Aita also made the best adaptation target based on the list in the production management system.
To put it bluntly, if the autonomy of the company was not taken into consideration, Aita could issue production orders.

And this is only the first step.
In addition to production equipment, there are also mid-range transportation, lunar assembly, and energy distribution.
In order to meet the transportation needs, as supporting transportation unmanned spacecraft, at least thirty of the current Xiantian are needed, and the energy source requires three helium fusion substations with the power of Shanghai.
These also cost money.
Not even much less than the main body of the project...
And Ye Ming, as the proposer of the project, naturally has the responsibility to save every penny of money and money for the guarantee plan of the entire project.
Therefore, he began to redesign a new unmanned low-Earth orbit space transport ship.
