Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 580: Curvature technology!
Latest URL: Epoch 7892……
In a blink of an eye, it has been a hundred years since humans arrived in this star field!
In the past hundred years, many things, big and small, have happened. The first major event is that a branch of human beings has become a civilization of sinkers. This fact will be etched in history forever and will not be forgotten by mankind.
The second thing is the internal affairs of the new human civilization itself: the population expansion policy, the education policy, and the integration policy between the extraordinary and the ordinary people.
Now that so many things have happened in the entire civilization, the elites have reached a certain degree of consensus: the human longevity plan must be continued, even if the current ideology and social formation are difficult to adapt to the ultra-long lifespan. Still have to go on.
Therefore, Life Extension Technology has been vigorously researching and developing, especially after the exchange of benefits with the Tuss civilization, the life extension technology obtained is quite good, and the average life expectancy can theoretically increase again by about 100-200 years.
Lifespan determines the strategic vision of a species. The transcendent is equivalent to the elite after passing the "college entrance examination". Being aloof is actually nothing at all. This has formed a social consensus. The establishment of the Staff of the Science Council divided the power of a series of official positions such as the captain.
In the future, everyone will have to complete the "college entrance examination" in this area. As long as capable people pass the exam, they will naturally be able to obtain a higher status.
Of course, most of the population in the entire society is still ordinary people, so the extraordinary do not control all the high-level positions, at most they only occupy about 8-10% of social resources.
Ordinary people can still get many good jobs, especially for innovative breakthroughs in science and technology, they still need real young people, young people in the psychological sense.
On the other hand, after the reform of the authority, the captain is now mainly responsible for the management of internal affairs, including controlling military power, issuing mobilization orders, and announcing economic status. Most of the posts in the general staff are held by extraordinary people, mainly responsible for external affairs. Control of affairs, civilized ideology, and handling of high-risk technologies.
Zhang Yuan has naturally become an important member of the General Staff in this century.
After this extra job, he was actually busy to death. On the one hand, he had to control the Unreal Lab, and on the other hand, he had to do a new job. Fortunately, the talents in the Unreal Lab have gradually grown up, and they don't need him to complete all the work. They can share some of the pressure.
The third thing is that two neutron stars collided successfully 70 years ago!
This time the neutron star collision produced a huge amount of observational data, and finally formed a miniature black hole. This is the fact that people have observed the fragmentation of neutron stars and the formation of miniature black holes at such close distances, and have harvested extremely valuable data...and the progress on curvature is also in full swing.
64 years ago, the first curvature experiment was successful, and people succeeded in creating a "curvature bubble" the size of a soybean. Although this curvature bubble only lasts 1.1 seconds, it is a big step in history.
52 years ago, the first curvature bubble that could "move", the experiment was successful!
Next, the experiment progressed faster and faster, and soon it was applied from the experimental level to the industrial level.
33 years ago, people successfully developed a curvature spacecraft with a speed of 0.1 times the speed of light!
20 years ago, the speed increased to 0.3 times the speed of light!
Immediately afterwards, humans received electromagnetic waves from the Tuss civilization, and the Tuss also completed the development of curvature technology.
People do not want to lag behind their old friend Tussian civilization. Whoever first developed a curvature spacecraft that surpasses the speed of light, who has a crushing advantage in the military and technology.
Even if the current willingness of both parties to cooperate is far stronger than their willingness to compete, they still have to guard against things in this regard, but the two sides have a tacit understanding and didn't say it bluntly.
Of course, a certain degree of technological competition between the two parties does not mean that there will be a real fight. This is a healthy competition. Since the distance between the two parties is not far away, only 0.5 light-years away, they often Sending communications to each other, exchanging some collected data, or scientific papers, this kind of cooperation is bound to be a good thing.
"Everyone! I just received a letter from over there. After hearing that we broke through the experiment with extra colors, the Toss can’t wait, haha!"
"This should be one of the most important cooperation projects between our two sides."
"They are going to take a curvature spacecraft and fly over slowly... Hey, it seems that their curvature technology is also very mature."
As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the door, he solemnly announced this big plan worth as much as "6,000 Amoeba Points."
"Really? They are coming over!"
"Lao Zhang, how fast can they reach now? Will it be higher than us?" An older colleague suddenly asked.
Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "Wait, it's only 0.3 times the speed of light, and it will take two months to arrive."
"We have caught up to the front! It is said that the fastest experimental spacecraft has reached 0.6 times the speed of light!"
As soon as I heard that humans are a little bit more powerful than the other, everyone below couldn't help but be pleased.
Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Don't be happy too early, we can't rule out that the other party deliberately concealed one's own level. Didn't we also deliberately conceal some level?"
The distance between the two parties is 0.5 light-years, and it takes 1 year to pass information back and forth.
Don’t look at the fact that one year seems to be short, but in this era of rapid development of new technologies, one year is enough to do a lot of things.
Technology is undergoing a big explosion, and everyone sincerely enjoys this ever-changing feeling. To be able to truly acquire curvature technology, all previous pains seem to be trivial.
"Then what should our big project do to let the Tuss experience virtual world technology? Or help them experience the newly developed brain-in-tank feedback system?"
"It's not easy to say for the time being...The brain in the tank is enough to trick them. What should be developed is still to be developed."
"However, the brain in the tank can't distinguish between the virtual and the reality. Although we have skipped technology, we still have to study these things... These are the basics! Anyway, this time of exchange and cooperation, on the one hand, is the speed , Another aspect is our side. We are the highlight."
Zhang Yuan looked at these excited and frantic people, and when he heard that he was going to meet the Toss, he seemed to have a heart floating in the sky, and he had no other thoughts besides wanting to talk about the mountains.
I checked that the time was late, so I simply announced that I would leave work early.
"It's off work, it's off work! That's it for today!"
But everyone was still sitting in the laboratory chatting, Zhang Yuan shook his head and left the laboratory by himself.
The leader standing in the room will affect everyone's enthusiasm for chatting. He doesn't want to be a villain.
As soon as I walked out of the door of the room, I met Mr. Ichiro Yamamoto, a virtual world expert in the laboratory.
The creator of "Elysium"~IndoMTL.com~ When I heard that what he had made, he had pitted 50 million people in, and was in a state of autism all day long, even though the whole thing was actually the same He doesn't matter...
Yamamoto bowed at a precise 45-degree angle, and he was so respectful.
Zhang Yuan waved his hand, greeted this guy who seemed to be only in his twenties, and drank a cup of coffee.
This is an era with many old friends, even though the age distribution of these old friends has become very vague.
"How do you feel special when you come to this world?"
"Very embarrassing! The so-called Elysium should have been encrypted, but they finally cracked it out." Yamamoto Ichiro said with ashamed.
"The matter has passed, and it has nothing to do with you... Human beings have played with themselves more often."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Someone killed a person with a kitchen knife. You can't hold the kitchen knife manufacturer accountable, right?"
