Chapter 37: Project Lighthouse

"Mercury!" "Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and its main components are metals and silicates, which are needed to build solar panels. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Mercury's orbital radius around the Sun is 58 million kilometers, and the solar panels we make can operate stably for a long time at this distance. So my plan is to use the whole of Mercury as the material for building Dyson clouds, and with our current technology, the solar panels can be made with a thickness of less than 1 millimeter, and at this radius, the solar panels can be made enough to absorb more than 5% of the light emitted by the sun, which can completely achieve the purpose of broadcasting to the whole galaxy. Taking into account technological advances, it is also possible to achieve an absorption rate of 10%. ”

Virtual Personality Nine: "What you said is all theoretical calculations, but in fact, such a huge project is definitely not so simple, and our current technical level is still too far behind." ”

Lan Ye said: "That's right, there are still many problems to be solved in the actual implementation of this plan. For example, in order for the sun to diffuse the starlight in the universe to flicker regularly instead of dimming completely, these solar panels need to be at least 10 billion square kilometers, which is 20 times the surface area of the earth, and this is only the minimum requirement, such a large area, whether it is manufacturing or maintenance, is a huge test for us. In addition, it is necessary to consider how to store and use the absorbed energy, and how to adjust the attitude of such a huge solar panel in the orbit of the sun. Each problem requires a huge breakthrough on the basis of existing technology to solve, and the time required to fully realize this plan may be calculated in hundreds of years, but there is no technical bottleneck, and the difficulty of implementing this plan is not impossible. ”

Avatar Nine: "Okay, I agree with your plan, at least the establishment of this Dyson cloud is also very beneficial to human civilization, although we already have fusion energy, we can't rely on the ball lightning produced by nature forever." ”

Lan Ye said: "Another thing I must explain is that once we start to build the Dyson Cloud, whether we broadcast or not, it will change the intensity of the starlight emitted by the sun into the universe, and the existence of human civilization will be exposed. Hehe, if any of you are afraid that alien civilizations will know about the existence of human beings, please oppose me! ”

As he spoke, Lan Ye's voice suddenly became high: "This is my plan, I will call it the 'Lighthouse Project'!" That is, let the sun become the beacon of the Milky Way, and let the light of human civilization break the silence and darkness of the universe! ”

In the next moment, the Tree of Civilization suddenly bloomed with endless light, and then turned into a huge lighthouse composed of countless characters, while the background of the entire virtual world turned into a starry sky shrouded in endless darkness, which was bright and dazzling, but also silent.

Then the lighthouse lit up, and a ray of light pierced the darkness, and then all the stars in the sky began to twinkle, as if the whole universe had gone from dead silence to lively in an instant.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded at the same time from all directions.

"93.7% support!" Project Lighthouse', passed! ”

Because this scene was too shocking, Lu Ze and Lu Li's moods couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

Yang Hai suddenly said to the two: "Actually, there shouldn't be so many people who support it, many people are thinking about the disadvantages of broadcasting, and some people have an attitude of not opposing but not supporting." But Arashiya's final way of speaking was very skillful, starting with the sentence, 'If you are afraid that alien civilizations will know about the existence of humans, please oppose me!' All of a sudden, it aroused the competitive spirit of those who were still thinking rationally. And then the phrase 'Let the sun be the beacon of the Milky Way!' Let the light of human civilization break the silence and darkness of the universe! It was even more exciting, so that those who were originally neutral began to support him, and with the carefully prepared virtual scene special effects, people's support for him reached a peak in an instant. ”

Lu Ze said: "That's right, I did have a feeling of blood boiling just now. ”

Lu Li shouted: "Hey, even if you have a point, what does it mean to suddenly splash a basin of cold water!" ”

Yang Hai ignored Lu Li and continued: "In fact, if it takes a while and waits for people to calm down, the support rate may drop below 70%, but Lan Ye decisively ended his speech at that moment and let Xingling.com start to count the support rate, so it won the support of more than 90% of the people. I say this to help you understand how to get a higher support rate at the Star Spirit Conference, and in addition to relying on your ability to convince everyone, this technique is also very useful. And the link of revising the core rules of the Star Spirit Network will make you the spokesperson, are you ready? ”

"Hmm." Lu Ze nodded.

"Alright, now it's my turn to go up with Alice." Yang Hai snapped his fingers as he spoke, then turned around and walked in the direction of Lan Ye.

Lu Ze knew that Yang Hai should have switched to speaker mode at this time.

Lan Ye greeted him and said, "Yang Hai, it's up to you to perform." I'll go down first, haha. ”

After saying that, Lan Ye disappeared directly.

Looking at Lan Ye's disappearing figure, Yang Hai sighed and said, "Alas, what about the appetizer that I said, how did it become such a big dish?" You're stressing me out a lot. ”

But this time, there were no virtual personalities to joke with Yang Hai, and all the virtual personalities looked at Yang Hai with serious expressions.

After all, the purpose of the 'Dream Tower' represented by Lan Ye is to play, and everyone is familiar with him, so it doesn't matter if you're joking. And since the Star Spirit Network Conference was chosen to be held urgently this time, it means that there is something very important, so at this time, all the virtual personalities have become serious.

Yang Haidao: "The fundamental reason for the emergency convening of the Star Spirit Network Conference this time is a technological breakthrough. Once this technology appears, it will have a huge impact on human civilization and change the form of the entire human civilization, if we can't solve the various problems that may be brought about by the emergence of this technology, then the result will be to open Pandora's box, and it is even possible that human civilization will be destroyed in one fell swoop. However, since this technology has appeared, it is absolutely impossible to stop its spread, so we must be cautious and cautious now. ”

Avatar One: "So what kind of technology are you talking about?" ”

"Nerve upload! That is, the technology that uploads a person's consciousness from the physical body to the computer. Yang Hai said.
