One of the professors suddenly said: "If in the next 3,000 years, the science and technology of the earth's civilization can make another big breakthrough, with stronger artificial intelligence and automated production lines." Perhaps, we will need a lot less industrial population to build a new civilization. ”

Ding Zhaodong shook his head slightly: "We shouldn't pin our hopes on the earth civilization. No matter how advanced science and technology are, the population of 500,000 is still too small. ”

Another professor also said: "Actually, it is not necessarily, the history of the earth in the next 3,000 years is a good reference. ”

The group of professors whispered to themselves for a while.

Academician Ding turned his head and asked again: "So, in response to the problem of small population, do you accept the use of artificial womb technology to hatch a large number of human babies?" They have no father or mother, just for the continuation of a new civilization. ”

Zhang Yuandao: "As far as I know, the artificial womb technology has not yet been completely matured. ”

"If in the future, there is indeed such an artificial womb technology, what do you think?"

This is...... Political issues?

Hard.

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a very sleek and mediocre way to answer.

He honestly said, "Yes." If reality dictates that we have to, we have no choice. ”

"People are not pigs, fertility is extremely limited, according to the high population growth rate of 2%, 100 years can only grow 7 times, 3.5 million people, too little."

"Because of the long-term resource dilemma, coupled with the aging and death of our first generation of high-quality population, it is enough to lead to a significant regression in the quality of the entire civilized population. Even if artificial incubation of babies can lead to all sorts of ethical issues, we have no choice. ”

"The starry sky is so vast, and the time left for us is limited. Once the equipment carried on the spacecraft is old, we have not yet developed a replacement, and the quality of the population has regressed significantly, and our new civilization will become extinct on another planet. ”

Captain Ma nodded and smiled very strangely.

The atmosphere becomes quiet for a while.

Everybody's thinking about something.

Academician Ding said lightly: "Okay, there's nothing to ask, you go out first." ”

"We'll let you know the final result when we're done with everyone."

"Thank you, teachers." Zhang Yuan bowed, and after politely coming out of the room, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his head.

There are so many problems that are too tricky to deal with.

It is worthy of academicians to select students, and the difficulty is ...... It's huge!

After Zhang Yuan left, the room was quiet for a while.

Captain Ma suddenly smiled and asked, "Lao Ding, my nephew is not bad, right?" If you don't accept it, I'll find another academician to take him. ”

Ding Zhaodong also smiled: "The person is indeed good, whether it is the skill level or the ideology, he is quite a pragmatic person." However, let's see, if there is a more suitable candidate, I will not be biased because of favors. ”

"Haha, do you really think that such a genius is a Portuguese herb on the side of the road, and you can't catch a handful?"

"So, the next interviewee."

……

Two days later, the results of the interview came out.

98 points, I don't know where two points were deducted, maybe a question was not answered very well.

However, 98 points is already quite a high score in theory.

The score of the interview accounts for 40% of the weight of the entire score, according to this calculation, Zhang Yuan estimates that he has properly ranked first in the major of "space mechanical engineering".

Being admitted to Academician Ding can be said to be a sure thing.

Even, affected by this incident, several well-known academicians in other majors also wanted to recruit a wave of graduate students on a whim.

The news reached the candidate group and caused a small storm.

"Congratulations!"

"The boss is in for a treat!"

Zhang Yuan was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Whatever you want to eat, you can eat whatever you want." ”

"Big drumsticks! Big chicken legs! ”

The cunning Li Zhendong actually wanted to eat a big chicken leg of a bio-3D printed organ for 100,000 yuan, which scared Zhang Yuan's face green. He hurriedly said, "If you can steal chicken legs from the laboratory, I will pay a fine." ”

The companions gossiped: "Actually, this kind of thing is normal. Other people's interviews are gone in ten minutes. Zhang Yuan met for an hour, who would he admit if he was not admitted? ”

“…… What questions are they asking? In a little while, I'm going to have an interview, albeit just as an ordinary professor. ”

"Question...... It's actually quite difficult. ”

Zhang Yuan is seizing the time to pass on his interview experience. Including those academic questions, the content is quite profound, even if you graduate with a master's degree, you may not be able to answer, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous questions about culture and politics.

A few girls stuck out their tongues when they heard it.

"Where is this recruiting master, this is recruiting doctors?!"

"It is estimated that the interviews of several other academicians are also so perverted, we may not even have the qualifications for the interview, we can only watch it as a lively ......"

"Fortunately, I'm just an ordinary teacher......"

At this time, Ye Kaifu hurriedly ran over from Area J, his face was happy, and he happily didn't want it.

"Hahaha, Zhang Yuan, I'll tell you a good news and a bad news. Which do you want to listen to? ”

Bad news again!

Zhang Yuan had a bitter face: "Good news." ”

"Your interview was good, your comprehensive score ranked first in your major, and there is a high probability that you will be admitted to Academician Ding."

"Cut ......"

Everyone let out a bored sigh that the news was long outdated. You're from Reach, right?

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "What about the bad news?" ”

Ye Kaifu gloated: "Some people are not convinced and are questioning your interview results!" ”

What?

Oppugn?

Zhang Yuan's face didn't matter.

It's a mediocrity not to be envied, go your own way, and let others talk about it.

"It's not a trivial matter, you have to ignore it if you don't want to."

Zhang Yuan took Ye Kaifu's mobile phone, and saw a post posted on it: "Human Academics, Best Academics?!" 》

A student named Cai Kun posted his real name questioning the reasonableness of the entire interview.

His written test score ranked first in the entire "Space Mechanics" major, but the interview result was only 60 points......

“…… Zhang Yuan's written test score was 2 points lower than mine, but he scored 98 points in the interview, which was 38 points higher than me! The students who are interviewed in the same interview are generally only sixty or seventy points, don't you think this is very unreasonable? ”

Later, I finally came to a possible conclusion: because Zhang Yuan's father, Professor Zhang Qiming, and Academician Ding were former colleagues. Maybe it's because I think of the past favor that I got a high score. ”

“…… It is precisely because I am disgusted with all kinds of unreasonable human feelings that I left the earth, and I hope to live in a more perfect and just civilization. But I didn't expect that in such an important matter as admissions, there is still a human relationship! ”

"The capable let go, the mediocre let go, the mediocre let go, this is the most suitable choice for employing people! If you can't even do this, why build a stronger civilization?! ”

“…… In particular, Deep Space University and Xingchen University have just been founded, and we should do a good job in building a style of study! You shouldn't develop this kind of bad habit of going through relationships. ”

Zhang Yuan's brow furrowed.
