Chapter 361: Intellectual Curiosity

At the end of June 3020, Ou Qinglan led a huge project team composed of hundreds of thousands of people to complete the trial production of mankind's first dark energy black hole bomb.

The results were encouraging, but there was controversy about whether or not to conduct a detonation test.

Chen Feng presided over the meeting, he did not speak or express his position, only listened to the opinions of all sides, and at the same time told his own experience in the decision-making of the last battle, but handed over the decision to other professionals.

The arguments were fierce.

Personnel from all walks of life made exquisite analyses at the meeting and expressed their opinions.

There are several elements:

First, black hole bombs are much more difficult to manufacture than particle bombs, and it is expected that less than 10 bombs will be completed in wartime.

The quantity is limited, and if you fry one less than one, you must save some money.

In addition, humanity has another logical dilemma.

No one knows if the Black Hole Bomb will be able to open the blockade of the Solar Dome.

If the Black Hole Bomb can make a hole in the dome for a short time, then it is indeed possible to consider detonating it early and allowing as many Tinder and Sprout ships as possible to leave the solar system early.

But if you can't, detonating the bomb in advance is naturally equivalent to exposing the hole cards of human beings.

The invaders are likely to change their strategy on the fly, making the course of the war unfamiliar and uncontrollable.

For example, after the arrival of the invaders, the time to release the barrier of the solar system is postponed, waiting for new reinforcements to arrive, and then planning after gathering troops.

Or the invaders will not let go of the barrier at all, but only further manipulate the barrier at close range, and continue to compress the solar system for countless years until human civilization is squeezed into it.

Or when the invaders arrive, they neither come in nor compress the space, but only continue to release high-energy materials into the solar system, heating the environment in the solar system to unbearable levels, such as iron pot stew.

All three of these possible scenarios would have rendered Chen Feng's efforts in vain.

Therefore, this black hole bomb really can't be easily exploded.

Is there a chance to escape some people in advance?

This question is destined to become a headless suspense that cannot be answered.

There are special researchers in the major research institutes who have carried out long-term analyses of the solar dome, but so far, nothing has been achieved.

Humans are still ignorant of the structure of their force fields and the principles of decomposing matter and energy.

Therefore, it is impossible to draw conclusions from theoretical calculations, only to see the effect by actual detonation.

However, considering the huge potential risks, the meeting finally decided not to test the bombing.

"Continue to increase production capacity, stock up more black hole bombs, and decide how to distribute them in September."

This is the final decision of the summit, and Chen Feng does not oppose it or express his support.

It's not that he's pretending, it's that he doesn't know how to get it.

On July 1, 2020, Chen Feng's genetic arousal officially exceeded 38%.

He was the first human to break 38% of his arousal, 0.2% ahead of Limbu, who had already reached 37.8%.

As arousal levels continued to rise, the rate at which he was able to benefit from the brainwave synergistic resonance training finally slowed down slightly.

Chen Feng knows very well that it is not his body that has reached the limit, but the effectiveness of the brainwave collaborative resonance training technology has gradually reached a new limit.

In the past half a year, Chen Feng and everyone have done almost everything they can try.

Where there are successes, there are naturally failures.

The planting plan, which Chen Feng attaches great importance to, has hardly made any progress.

The planting plan took a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention the first parts, and even a stable artificial life genome was not designed.

Initially, the team's most ambitious idea was to encompass the entire warship with a single genome.

Later, it was found that the difficulty was too great, so he retreated to the next best thing, and divided the battleship into more than ten component modules to design the gene.

Then I found that the difficulty of the module was also too great, so I continued to narrow down the scope and start with smaller functional units......

Now that the design has been reduced to a simple cabin structure, there is still little hope.

What's even more helpless is that the deeper they go, the more soberly the researchers realize that there is no essential difference between designing the "gene" of a screw and directly designing a complete warship.

The difficulty lies not in the seemingly redundant details of directional expression, but in the creation of a species of living things that did not exist in the solar system from scratch.

If it weren't for Chen Feng, who was a staunch supporter of the project, the researchers in the planting project would have had a nervous breakdown and would have quit.

Initiating projects, attempting, overturning, and re-establishing projects......

The planting project team has been stumbling forward in such a painful groping.

On July 7, 2020, Chen Feng attended a phased meeting of the planting project team.

He carefully flipped through the research schedule, looked at many wrong answers, and came up with an idea that had been ignored for more than half a year.

"Now that it has proven difficult to design a new life from scratch, we have to respect the facts and respect nature. Why don't we try to extract wealth from the original gene pool on Earth? ”

"For example, relying on the genes of blue whales and dinosaurs to design warships, and then carry out some functional fine-tuning on the original basis. Since there is no way to directly grow into a power cabin, then we will make the power cabin into every cell structure. Viruses capable of generating antimatter and generating electricity are embedded into the cells of the biological warship, and each cell is a power module. We let the Blue Whale Battleship swim in space. ”

"It's the same with other parts, like weapon systems. We've embedded the genes of the Sparrowtail Mantis Shrimp in our melee weapon system. Medium-range weapons have the genes of the Artillery Infantry Beetle embedded. ”

"As for the small one-man flying machine, we embedded the dragonfly ......"

At this point, Chen Feng was momentarily stunned.

He remembered the Dragonfly fighter of the Compound Eye.

Others have also reacted.

The crowd laughed.

I see.

Engaging in research is like this, some seemingly simple truths that ordinary people can react to, once they get into the tip of the bull's horns, even if the wisdom of the crowd branches out together, it is not so easy to get out.

Perhaps someone had thought of Chen Feng's idea, but this person had a small task in the original direction at hand, and he reported it to the top after thinking about what he was doing, and as a result, as soon as he came back to his senses, several months passed.

It is also possible that there is a small team working on this direction, but the technical ability and resource allocation are insufficient, and the results cannot be produced for a long time.

This small group also has no ability to influence the big picture.

Groupthink is stuck in a blind spot, and it is more difficult to turn to it than the rigidity of individual thinking.

At such times, it is necessary for the leader to step up and forcibly pull others out of the mental dilemma.

Chen Feng took on this role.

After being inspired by him, the implant project team immediately turned to the work of chimeric gene erection.

Chen Feng handpicked a core project leader, Jiang Xinyi.

This long-haired girl impressed him, and she was also a master of strange tricks.

After the meeting ended, people left one after another in the virtual venue, and Dong Shan, who was in charge of assisting the host, came over.

Chen ...... Chen Feng. That's how I see it personally. In fact, I don't think what the planting project team is doing now is of much significance, even if the direction you just proposed is feasible, it will be at least a few decades. ”

Sergei tried to mix the genes of mollusks, microorganisms, high-temperature bacteria and humans into the Dyson membrane system, but he only completed the preliminary design scheme. In the end, it took many years to take shape. Let's fight again this time, and we can't come up with a feasible plan that you can write down. ”

Chen Feng shook his head, "I understand what you mean." I know it's not fair to the people in this timeline. ”

Dong Shan shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether it's fair or not, I think it's better to let the planting project team instead study some new technologies that can produce results and can be taken away by you." ”

Chen Feng: "The easier it is to get something, the less important it is, and that's not a qualitative change." Only qualitative change is truly valuable. I know it won't be possible this time, but I'm sure it will sooner or later. I can figure out how much this time is, and I can remember as much as I can. Combined with the efforts of countless people in each timeline, we can master this technology that shouldn't be ours. ”

As he spoke, Chen Feng patted Old Man Dong on the shoulder again, "The more you learn, the easier it is to have a mysterious fear of science, and you are like that." On the contrary, people like me are very ignorant, so I dare to imagine and speculate. In my opinion, the potential of humanity is a cosmic miracle. Trust me, we can do it. ”

Watching Chen Feng's figure gradually disappear in the conference room, Old Man Dong had mixed tastes.

He sniffed out.

Although he didn't know where Chen Feng's pessimism came from, the old man knew very well that Chen Feng still didn't expect to win this time.

But the old man didn't blame Chen Feng for being conservative.

He understands very well that this may be the core concept that supports Chen Feng.

As for the cosmic miracle-level potential of human beings, Old Man Dong also seemed to have an understanding.

In the last timeline of Chen Feng's memory, the understanding and application of dark energy and antimatter by human beings in the 31st century is still only at the level of knowing their existence, as if they can see it from afar, but cannot really touch it.

In this timeline, we did it.

Particle bombs, Mas power, and dark energy black hole bombs are all very practical applications.

Chen Feng has played a huge role in the transformation of these achievements, but it is also impossible to deny the value of the efforts of all scientific researchers from generation to generation in the past thousand years.

It is precisely because we identified the direction from the beginning and walked forward blindly and confidently that we were able to complete the development of pre-technology in advance when Chen Feng arrived, and finally achieved results overnight.

Thankfully, we started on the right path.

Because the compound eyes who have definitely reached the third level civilization still use the use of dark energy and antimatter as their main means.

It is inconceivable that as early as the twentieth century, the two major directions of antimatter and dark energy were already seen.

In addition to these two directions, there are many fields such as curvature flight, quantum theory, and artificial intelligence.

Before getting Chen Feng's memory, Dong Shan often guessed how the wise ancients used their brains to understand the mysteries of the universe before human footprints really went out of the earth.

Whenever he thought of this, he often bowed and worshipped.

The more knowledge he had in his head, the more he was amazed at the wisdom of the ancients.

At that time, scientists had how imaginative and unthinkable they were to complete such complex calculations, and they were still correct.

It used to be a derogatory term, but now it seems that the ancients are indeed worthy of respect.

The terrible potential of humanity was manifested at the end of the nineteenth century, when people were still riding on steam trains.

At that time, our ancestors were still fragile and humble on the earth, but their great minds had already soared into the universe.

Dong Shan couldn't imagine where his eyes would go when he reached the third-level civilization, and how he would sweep across the universe.

No wonder the compound eye man was so anxious to pounce on the fire.

Not to mention the compound eyes, any civilization with brains that wants to discover the earthlings will have to fight to the death.

Alas.

Dong Shan, like Chen Feng, gradually understood the position of the compound eye.

This war may seem unequal, but in fact it is a war that determines the life and death of both sides.

Dong Shan also believed Chen Feng's judgment.

The scientific and technological direction of the compound eye should be based on unity and transcendent biology, but the individual's own strength is weak.

The Compound Eyer's skills in the use of dark energy and antimatter are not at their peak, and even a little crude.

Maybe they don't know the principle of these technologies at all, they just know that they can use it this way, and they use it well, so they do it.

This is the essential difference between earthlings and compound eyes.

When earthlings see the flame, they will subconsciously figure out why the flame is born, what substances are consumed when the flame burns, what new substances are produced, and the energy changes in the process of flame burning.

Earthlings look up at the starry sky and see stars of different colors, and they will subconsciously figure out why the colors are different.

What cosmic phenomena do the different colors represent?

……

Earthlings have a terrible thirst for knowledge, which is the root of their infinite potential.

We are born to understand what this universe looks like.

September 26, 2020.

Preparations for war are complete.

Earth, Hanju.

The pledge meeting was held on time.
