Chapter 712: Project Tinder

"As for whether the Tinder plan is to be submitted to the Planetary Defense Council, I personally don't think it's necessary to ......"

Fang Yuan continued to express his opinions: "First of all, the Tinder Project is to send the spark of civilization out of the solar system, and at present, only we have this scientific and technological strength.

"Submitting the Tinder Project to the Planetary Defense Council will not get any help, but will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Secondly, the Tinder Project should have a maximum level of secrecy, and the less people know about it, the better.

"If a malicious higher civilization comes in the future, if they are going to completely exterminate humanity, there is a possibility of finding a fire.

"Therefore, I believe that the Tinder plan should be implemented, but the direction of the Tinder plan should be the responsibility of one person.

"Only when a person knows the flame of civilization can he truly keep it secret after the advent of a higher civilization."

When Lu Xiuwen and the others heard this point of view, they nodded in agreement: "It should indeed be so, the Tinder Project, as a continuation of the flame of civilization, can only succeed if it is sent out of the solar system."

"We have mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology and are the only country that can do it.

"Secondly, the Tinder Project should indeed be in charge of one person, and the other people who cooperate with the plan should not know the full content of the Tinder Project.

"If I am in charge of the Tinder Project, once a malicious high civilization descends, I will bury the secret of the Tinder deep underground."

When the participants heard Lu Xiuwen's words, they couldn't help but take a deep breath, and they also had a trace of respect for the biology professor in their hearts.

Because everyone can hear that when he says "the secret with the fire buried deep underground", he means that death is used to keep the secret of the fire.

It is true that there will be sacrifices to perpetuate the flame of civilization, but not everyone can have such determination.

Lu Xiuwen continued: "From a biological point of view, I think that the Tinder Project and escapism are two completely different things.

"The purpose of the Tinder Project is only to perpetuate the flame of civilization.

"So, there is no need to take a single person on the planet.

"I think it's enough for Project Tinder to take away the fertilized eggs of humans, so that there is no need for hibernation pods, and there is no need to have more resources for adults to survive.

"What the Tinder Project wants to do is to continue the spark of civilization, what is the spark of civilization?

"The spark of civilization, the first is the individual human being, which is all written in our genes, as long as the human genes are sent away.

"Second, the spark of civilization is culture and technology.

"So Project Tinder only needs to take two things, a fertilized egg that perpetuates human genes, and a memory that stores human culture and technology.

"The rest can be done by artificial intelligence.

"When the spark floats to another terrestrial planet, the spark of human civilization can start again there, and the spark will burn the prairie again."

When everyone present heard these words, their hearts set off a layer of waves.

One person asked: "If this is the case, when will this Tinder project be realized if it needs to find a terrestrial planet suitable for human survival in order to rekindle the Tinder?" ”

Lang Tongguang took over the topic and said, "This time will be long, maybe tens of thousands of years, maybe hundreds of thousands of years. No one knows when the Tinder spacecraft will find a terrestrial planet suitable for human survival.

"For individual human beings, the scale of tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, sounds very scary.

However, for the universe, this time is really just a moment.

"If you think about it a little, you will know that if there is indeed a terrestrial planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt, then that terrestrial planet may have existed hundreds of thousands of years ago, or millions of years ago.

"However, until we discovered carbon-based microbes in asteroids, we didn't even know that there was once a planet so similar to Earth that was home to similar carbon-based life.

"Hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years, is a long time for us, but it is a short time for the solar system.

"The age of the solar system is 4.6 billion years old, and yet it is still very young.

"It's just that we may not be able to stay with this young home galaxy forever, and we have a crisis, a crisis of destruction.

"We don't want to leave our home planet, but we need to send our 'children' out, and they will take root on other terrestrial planets and perpetuate our culture, technology.

"This is the real meaning of the Tinder Project, we are not fleeing, we are just betting our spirit on our 'children' and letting them accomplish the mission we can't accomplish."

When the words came out, everyone present felt emotional.

Oh, yes!

How narrow and ridiculous is the so-called fugitive rhetoric.

However, it turns out that the wisdom of the crowd is often stupid.

Even if it is such a narrow and ridiculous statement, there are still so many people who will believe it and blindly follow it.

After a moment of silence in the venue, Lu Xiuwen continued: "If the Tinder plan does not send away any adult humans, only the fertilized eggs and the memory of culture and technology.

"Then the scale of the construction of this Tinder spaceship does not need to consume too many resources in the supply of survival materials.

"You only need to find a terrestrial planet suitable for human survival, and then start the tinder program to nurture human beings.

"If that's the case, then the Tinder project won't require too many resources, and we can focus more on defending the planet.

"Although we have decided to start the Tinder Project, we will not choose to flee, we will fight to the end, and the Tinder of civilization must continue."

Scientists from all disciplines who participated in the conference frequently nodded their heads in agreement.

With the current technology of human beings, it is completely possible to build such a spaceship.

If it is a manned spaceship, then it will require a lot of resources to survive, so it will be very difficult.

If the Tinder program does not send away any adults, only the fertilized eggs, then it is relatively much easier.

On the contrary, it is the fire that starts, and how to make the fertilized egg grow is the key to technology.

However, in the case of current biotechnology, this can already be done, and there will be no problem.

Next, several other topics were discussed, and the launch of the Tinder plan was finalized.

The Tinder project has been tentatively determined, and it will take ten years to carry out and then send the Tinder spacecraft out of Earth.

That's plenty of time.
