Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 538: Make up your mind

The latest website: After listening to Zhang Yuan’s narration, it took a while before Mr. Captain sighed secretly, and muffled up an objection: "This plan... okay."

"There is the biggest question. Will the Toss agree to this extremely risky plan? It has a time limit. There are strict restrictions on what kind of work can be done in any time period."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "There is no problem in theory. Isn't it in the honeymoon period of two civilizations? Both of us are conducting a lot of scientific and technological exchanges. I believe that in the future, there will be more and more cooperation. In two hundred years, even three to four hundred years, the relationship will become very good."

"If Project No. 17 is implemented well, the progress of the project will be faster. Forcibly reducing the project time by more than half, what concept is this, is the biggest benefit."

"I believe that for the life cycle of Tussian civilization, they also want to complete this plan within one or two generations, and see the birth of curvature technology with their own eyes."

"Their life span is much longer than ours. The understanding of our human beings is still on the surface, and it is impossible to guess in advance that some problems may erupt within my civilization because the life span is too short."

Life span has always been a pain point for human beings. The race value of the human species is not high among so many interstellar civilizations. Although many life extension technologies have been purchased from the trading market, the average life expectancy has been increased to 500 years.

But there are some life-extending technologies that cannot be used for a while.

It’s not because of technical inability. But... because of the existence of virtual technology, people are not afraid of death. Suddenly having an excessively long lifespan will lead to chaos within the society, such as the collapse of all social structures such as marriage. These costs are difficult for humans to bear. Especially at this critical juncture, there is no opportunity for humans to adjust slowly. many.

Life span is closely related to the strategic vision of a civilization. This is another big contradiction.

Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and continued: "In short, neither civilization wants the plan to fail. This is also the consensus of both parties, so it’s no problem to spend a little bit of effort to talk about this plan. Of course, we Can’t tell them our true intentions..."

"Even the members of our Science Council cannot tell their true intentions. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this plan to be passed internally."

"They will tend to choose a more secure plan. Humans are conservative in nature, do not want to change, and are unwilling to change. At this time, they need to use the fanatical atmosphere within the people to promote this plan."

Yes, the current atmosphere within the people is indeed very fanatical. Some radical proposals, as long as they advocate that the engineering time can be cut in half, they are absolutely willing to accept.

If the high-level civilization agrees and the grassroots support it, then the middle-level cadres will have to give in, even if they may have great doubts in their hearts.

……

That night, the gray-haired Captain Ke turned over and over, unable to sleep.

Huge psychological pressure lingered in his heart, turning into an invisible mountain, pressing him out of breath.

When he got up from the bed, he realized that it was just three o'clock in the morning.

Can't sleep anymore...

He rubbed his red eyes, put on his clothes again, and walked out of the room door. The lights in the corridors were very dim, only the lights in a few cafes and hospitals were still shining. Occasionally, a few pedestrians hurried past, making a series of "dongdongdong" footsteps.

Clay walked into a coffee shop and ordered a cup of "Di Bal" coffee, tasted a little bit, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness.

This is not real coffee, but a certain plant of an alien civilization. After being ground, it tastes a bit like "coffee". It contains certain antioxidants, which can delay aging and benefit your health. .

The times have become richer, science has advanced, and people's lives have become better and better. There is no doubt about this. However, with the adjustment of productivity, the price of many things will rise in the future. Daily necessities such as food and clothes will not change prices, but entertainment products and certain light luxury products will definitely become more expensive. .

The staff in this area will be transferred to other positions.

Clay suddenly recalled that period of history.

When the Earth Age was traveling through three thousand years, where could you drink coffee?

Even a little seasoning is a luxury.

However, the original pioneers persisted.

If we cut all our living resources in half until now, then society will inevitably be in chaos. Even if it is reduced by 20%, there will still be many complaints.

It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. From this level, human beings have never changed... But how can it be possible for such a long time in the future to not suffer?

After a while, when I was in a trance like this, another acquaintance walked in, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Chen Mu.

He also had the same worried look. When he saw Captain Ke, he was taken aback.

"Can't you sleep?"

"Yes, falling asleep, I feel a little hungry."

The two laughed unanimously.

After a while, a third person and a fourth person walked in. They were all high-ranking officials, all with dark circles under their eyes, and they didn't know why they came here by appointment. .

Captain Ke made a cup of coffee for these people, and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhang's words are so shocking to me. This makes me think, what is the purpose of our entire civilization... is to maintain long-term progress and prosperity. The vitality of life is still alive, and it will always exist in this universe..."

"Humans, sometimes, you really have to push yourself. Otherwise, you don't know what your potential is."

"Fourth-level civilization, it really is not that simple."

They knew Zhang Yuan’s true identity, and knew that this extraordinary man was the first captain of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet. He once vigorously overthrew the oldest family system in mankind and established a “public welfare system”.

Now for thousands of years, people have adapted to the new social system, and there are no children born naturally.

People have lost the concept of raising children by themselves.

The vigorous vitality and huge mobilization ability of the new human civilization are based on this system. But, who can remember the overwhelming opposition in the meeting?

Now it’s time to make a critical decision again. When I think of this, everyone sweats coldly, as if they are facing the pressure of indoMTL.com~ The source of this pressure is not the present, but the future!

In the next thousand years, the scolding of future generations.

Endless overtime work, an aging population, and even longer working hours. They will certainly regret this choice.

But after 1,400 years, if you really have the curvature technology, the descendants behind will be rejoiced by today's choice, thank you for the hard work of this predecessor.

Human beings are such a creature, as long as they don’t eat hardships on themselves, everything is fine.

"Have you thought about it?" one of the old people suddenly asked.

"Think about it, but actually there is nothing to think about..."

The captain sighed and looked far away, as if he had made up his mind.
