Chapter 845: A Reward of Ten Thousand Dollars
That night, the BBS of Koro University had already been swept up by the inexplicable public elective course "Cosmology". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many students have made videos of their lectures and uploaded them to the school forum, personal space, and even internationally renowned video sites such as YouTube. For a while, it has become a hot topic on major social platforms such as Future Man 1.0, Bib, and Moments.
"Cosmology? Hold the grass, this forced outfit is a perfect score!"
"The Future People Group is going to heaven!"
"Shoulder to shoulder with the sun!"
"Extraterrestrial civilization......s? Give me 10,000 dollars!"
"It seems that the space colonization plan announced by the Star Ring Trade is not fooling, and even something as mysterious as extraterrestrial civilization exploration has been used to set up a special topic. If it weren't for a 'one-way ticket', I'd like to give it a try......"
Compared with the heated discussions on the Internet, many news and self-media have also played similar gimmick-filled headlines, reporting on this matter with different focuses.
[Professor Tuhao opened a Lamborghini class, who made the university a profit-seeking field for capital?]
[Assignment of essays in class, $10,000 reward!The most expensive homework in history!]
[Is the extraterrestrial civilization research into the subject of the Star Ring Trade Project?Is it a fool's fantasy or an ambition to conquer the stars and seas?]
[Shocking information revealed in class, more details of the Transwarp Trade Space Colonization Plan ......]
"As of noon, the number of applications for aerospace volunteer immigration has doubled compared with last month, and if the aerospace training base is not expanded, I am afraid that the training site will not be enough. Why don't you temporarily close it to the public?" Kerwin suggested to Jiang Chen.
"No," Jiang Chen shook his head, "If you don't have enough money, go to the finance department to apply, the early stage of aerospace is originally a money-losing project, don't worry too much about this." As long as every penny is spent where it should be spent, you don't have to be polite to me. ”
"Yes. Kerwin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
To be honest, the entire group has been losing money on the project department he leads, and the losses are very serious, and they are all burning money in tens of billions of dollars! Although Jiang Chen has always told him that he doesn't have to worry about money, just build this space elevator, but to say that there is no psychological burden, it is absolutely impossible.
After Kerrwyn left, Jiang Chen put his work papers aside, opened his watch, clicked on his mailbox, and browsed through the homework handed in by his students.
Perhaps because of the $10,000 bonus, all the homework handed in by the students was serious! In particular, the Chinese students, who inherited the fine tradition of education in the Great Heaven Dynasty, wrote hundreds of thousands of words of papers and cited dozens of literatures.
Jiang Chen was moved, but also extremely ashamed.
It was his negligence, and he should have talked to these students, just to give a conjecture, and there was no need to write a lot of proofs, because this kind of problem that has never happened at all, no matter how many previous documents are cited, it will not be able to come up with an absolute answer.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to understand what most people think about contact with extraterrestrials.
After the command shortened all the papers are retrieved, the main idea of each paper is listed, and sorted according to certain rules.
A total of 1,173 papers, Jiang Chen unexpectedly gained 87 completely different views.
Perhaps because of the perennial influence of political correctness, many students from the West, especially those from Western Europe, generally put forward a more Virgin Mary.
Some people have proposed the establishment of special ecological reserves on the earth to accommodate these visitors. Or set up an embassy to resolve possible differences between the two sides through dialogue. Some people also said that it may be inappropriate to set up a protected area for extraterrestrial civilizations on the earth, after all, it is not sure whether the other side is suitable for the atmospheric environment, and maybe the oxygen we rely on for survival is poison for them. They should be placed on the Moon, or Mars......
For students from Asia, the answer is more conservative.
That is, to suspect whether the other person is hostile before believing that the other person has good intentions.
This may have something to do with the fact that in modern wars, Asian civilizations are more vigilant and more inclined to show their weapons before showing their olive branches.
It has been suggested that no matter what the other side's intentions are, we can first "shoot" at them from a distance. If they're still alive, we're thinking about engaging with them. It has also been suggested that exchanges and dialogue are necessary, but only if the other side demonstrates the force of the earth's civilization. That is, send the fleet of the earth's civilization to meet it with military might.
But there are also pessimists who suggest that if they can't resist, they should build their own colony ships and escape, and at least let some of them run away from the solar system to find a new home......
There are also some interesting points that point out that since the other side is able to carry out star navigation, it has been proved that the other party's technological level is above ours. Instead of trying to contact or confront it, it is better to think about how to sell cuteness to please aliens, and it is much better to be a pet than a domestic animal......
There are also some female classmates who didn't mention it at all, but just posted a photo of themselves in the email without any traces of PS, and asked side-by-side "Are you free on weekend nights?" and "Can you take me for a ride?" and other chattering words......
Looking at these views, Jiang Chen just smiled and shook his head a little helplessly.
Stripping out the boring stuff, opinions can be divided into three categories.
The main peace faction, the main battle faction, the main surrender faction.
Then eliminated those papers that obviously did not intend to answer the questions well, Jiang Chen found that among these students, the main surrender faction actually accounted for 5 percent, and the main and peace faction also accounted for 3 percent, and only those who supported armed resistance only accounted for 2 percent.
And among these 2 adults, there is also a slight wavering in opinions.
After all, let alone a spaceship now, even the "dry dock" of the spaceship - the space elevator - has not yet been built.
Although many people are very optimistic when they write it, when the earth civilization comes into contact with the extraterrestrial civilization, there will definitely be spaceships, and there will be giant ships and cannons. But they don't have much in their own minds about how to possess these divine weapons......
"Does it seem too early?" Jiang Chen muttered to himself, turning his gaze to the world map hanging on the wall of his office.
If the question were to be left to the United Nations to decide, what would they ultimately conclude?
Do you meet destruction with hope, or do you abandon your unrealistic illusions and fight them, or do you fight your own people first?
Everything is unknown.
He had a way to prove that the colony ship was on the way, all he needed was an astronomical telescope, and he even knew the coordinates anyway. But he had no way to prove his aggressiveness, nor did he have the confidence to convince everyone that the colony ship was hostile to Chigo.
Ten representative papers were randomly selected and given qualified evaluations, and Jiang Chen transferred 10,000 US dollars to the accounts of these ten lucky winners.
For these students, the money may be a lot, but it is nothing to him.
Although it is a pity, for now, it is not the best time to disclose the coordinates of harmonious civilization and the information of colonial ships. (To be continued.) )
