“…… Wouldn't it be too bold to come up with such a question? ”

In the central conference room, a group of high-level spaceship executives are discussing the enrollment plan.

Universities, as institutions for cultivating talents and research, are the top priority of a civilization.

If you want to restart civilization, you can't do it without technology and talent.

Moreover, the universities in the spaceship have a high level of authority, such as the allocation of laboratories, the allocation of resources, etc., all have the right of first choice. This batch of graduate students is not only for scientific research, but also for a large part of the training in the direction of spacecraft management.

After all, this spaceship is too big, and when most people go into hibernation, every awake graduate student must have the ability to take charge of himself.

"They must know what they ought to know...... However, there are some things that still have to be done step by step. ”

"I think it's okay to ...... that."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Captain Ma sighed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't limit yourself to your inherent thinking ......"

"We are already a new civilization, and we have to produce some new changes, instead of continuing the old ways of the past and becoming the same civilization as the earth...... Otherwise, what's the point of this trip to the stars? ”

"Professor Lin, what do you think?"

A middle-aged man sitting next to Captain Ma, named Lin Fangzheng, was a mathematician three years ago and is currently a historian of a new civilization.

It is a bit inconceivable that mathematicians should make decisions about the entire civilization. Mathematicians have a little say in economics at best, but in this new civilization, it is easy to happen.

The New Civilization School has an important point of view that past experiences will have a profound impact on the ideology that follows, so they are at a critical juncture in history. If you do something wrong, it will be even more difficult to correct it later.

Therefore, the historiography of new civilization is a new management discipline, which tries to deduce the trend of civilization through mathematical modeling.

Professor Lin Fangzheng sighed and said, "Captain is right, we only have such a small population, we are in the infant stage of civilization, and it will be easier to make major changes. Before the whole civilization is formed, let's think more and take more responsibility. ”

Another person around asked, "What is the result of the calculation?" ”

Lin Fangzheng thought for a while and said, "This time the exam, there is a relatively high probability that it will be a positive event, and it is the same as the inherent experience. ”

However, the current historiography of the new civilization is still too incomplete to deduce the complex historical trend, and it can only estimate a few possibilities with high probabilities. ”

"We need more sample information to make this new discipline as good as possible. Moreover, the current mathematical model is so crude that I think it is far from refined. We also need more talent to get involved......"

Everyone was lost in thought.

This interstellar migration is a completely new social practice, different from the previous socialist or capitalist management model, and the entire civilization will take a completely different path.

The New Civilization School has been founded by Professor Qi Yuanshan, the "father of nuclear fusion", for more than 100 years, and its core idea is to try to plan the future direction of the entire civilization through the historiography of the new civilization, that is, "calculation".

Therefore, the supreme authority of the entire spacecraft is the Scientific Council, and of course, in the current situation where the computing power is far from sufficient, it still needs to be combined with some political wisdom in the past to manage the entire spacecraft well.

For a civilization, science is equivalent to external strength, and the internal system and cultural system are more important internal strength, so the task of their management is very heavy, and there are a lot of things that need to be re-established.

There are even many ultimate goals, which are completely different from the current earth civilization, and they will be in a state of crossing the river by feeling the stones for a while, and everyone does not know how to go.

Captain Ma sighed slightly.

Their first batch of management has relatively little time to hibernate, and there is a high probability that they will wither in this vast star field, and they will not be able to see the future home planet.

Therefore, it is also necessary to consider the issue of the cultivation of successors. In such a small society, if the top is the first to degenerate and corrupt, this cultural phenomenon will spread to the people at the bottom at an alarming rate, and it will never be corrected.

Therefore, the cultivation of successors is very important and must be cautious.

He looked out the dim window, wondering what the end of the road was.

It is also unknown how to transition from the current system to a more perfect system.

"For the time being, let's do it, all the admissions work will be bothering everyone. Meeting! ”

Everyone stood up and left the room.

Before leaving, Captain Ma sorted out the various materials on the table, including some of the test papers.

The legend about aliens, the "Phoenix Light Incident", the truth and falsehood have long escaped in the whirlpool of history.

He didn't know if the whole incident was real or fake, but he just thought it was a possibility.

Whether or not extraterrestrial civilizations have visited the earth is actually quite important, and is regarded as an important proposition in cosmic sociology.

If this incident is false, there is naturally nothing to say, just a rumor.

If this event is true, then ......

In the vast universe, an alien spacecraft traveled hundreds or thousands of light-years to Earth, without causing too many waves, and then left.

Only a few human witnesses and rumors were left.

What does it mean?

The whole process is a bit like a human driving a car through the African savannah.

For a group of lions on the African savannah who saw the car and pointed at it, humans don't care and won't pay attention, even if these lions are the strongest kings of the African savannah.

There is no shortage of matter in the universe, and the development of science will inevitably become more and more difficult in the later stage, so what is lacking is information, so if the alien spacecraft really came to Earth, why did it not communicate with humans?

Because there is no need.

In the 20th century, mankind did not even have controlled nuclear fusion, and there was no technology that could be used at all.

Nuclear bomb? Aircraft carrier? Supersonic fighter?

No kidding, these are just toys for a ship capable of traveling light years.

Therefore, the human civilization at that time, in the eyes of the alien civilization, was probably just a mediocre civilization with no meaning for communication.

No matter how powerful the lion is, it is only one of the countless animals in the grasslands, and is not fundamentally different from elephants, baboons, hyenas, and ants on the ground.

Thinking of this, Captain Ma moved his gaze to the window.

300 years later, humanity has become countless times stronger than it was at the beginning, and has even been freed from the threat of energy, but most likely, it is still just a mediocre civilization.

A slightly more powerful mediocre civilization

As for the other question on the paper, the debate between science and ethics......

He smiled slightly in his heart, if he didn't crush the ethics and morality of the past, how could he talk about a stronger civilization?
