The scientist's question fell silent in the room. It was indeed as he said. It is undoubtedly a small probability event that the entire planet will disappear from the universe and fall into another unfamiliar space due to the influence of Lobachevsky's space. In the hundreds of years when human beings have possessed modern technology, human civilization has never seen or heard of such a thing, and even imagined it.

So...... There are so many river systems in the universe, so many star systems in the river system, and so many planets in the star system, why the earth? Why is it the earth that has nurtured human civilization and is still supporting the survival and development of human civilization? Is there anything special about Earth?

Zhao Lan also thought about this problem. Although he didn't have a definite answer, Zhao Lan could still answer this question.

My answer is...... This question does not make sense. Zhao Lan sighed, "In the previous earth era, people would also be puzzled by the question, that is, there are so many people who smoke, why don't they get cancer, but I, a non-smoker, have cancer?" If you own a chicken farm and you have 100,000 chickens, and one day you decide to catch a chicken and slaughter it and eat it, will the chicken that happened to be caught by you also think: There are 100,000 chickens in total, why do you want to catch me? There's only a 1 in 100,000 chance of it......"

"So your question doesn't make sense." Zhao Lan said, "No matter which planet such a small probability event takes place, we can ask why it is this one." But it's still going to happen...... Now that it has happened, it is a waste of time and energy to complain about the unfairness of fate or the lack of good luck. ”

The scientist was silent for a moment, then bowed to Zhao Lan: "Thank you for your answer, I understand." I just sigh a little about the fate of our human civilization...... Just a few hundred years ago, we had just experienced a catastrophe that nearly destroyed our civilization, and if it weren't for your ancestor Zhao Huasheng to turn the tide, maybe we would have been extinct. Right now. Our time of peace has not been long in coming, and now we have once again encountered such a thing, the fate of our human civilization...... It seems a little too bumpy. ”

"But what can we do? Instead of complaining about the injustice of fate, we should complain that we are not strong enough. Zhao Lan glanced at the Führer intentionally or unintentionally. Then he continued: "I noticed that technically speaking, our human civilization has now fully possessed the ability to enter Jupiter, and even Saturn, but our human civilization has not taken this step for a long time. We seem to have met what we have achieved so far, and there is no crisis. We were immersed in drunken dreams and flowers, and lost the enterprising spirit to continue to set off into space. The last solar crisis created the rapid development of science and technology in our human civilization, which led to the two great buildings of Earth Harbor and Mars Harbor, but this rapid development only lasted for a hundred years before it came to a standstill. Now that we are facing a life-and-death crisis again, I wonder how much our technology will develop this time? ”

A flush appeared on Zhao Lan's cheeks because of excitement, these words had been hovering in Zhao Lan's mind for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to say it on this important occasion related to the fate of human civilization. Zhao Lan didn't know what the consequences of saying these words would bring to him, Zhao Lan only knew that if he didn't say these words now. I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life.

"But I would like to ask, why do we only start to get angry when the crisis comes? Why can't we fully develop science and technology when we have more time and more material support in the peaceful times of the past? If the last technological explosion could last for 300 years instead of 100 years, we may have already stepped out of the solar system, and the fall of a single earth could threaten the foundation of our human civilization. ”

Zhao Lan turned around as he spoke, bowed deeply to the head of human civilization and the heads of various departments of human civilization sitting in the seat next to him, and then said, "The head of state...... Can you answer me that question? ”

There was a burst of discussion in the venue, and there was a hint of anxiety on the face of Zhang Hong, who was sitting in the seat below. Zhang Hong clearly knew what Zhao Lan's words and what this question meant. This calls into question the entire approach of this and previous heads of State. And what is Zhao Lan's identity? You must know that Zhao Lan is just an ordinary researcher in the research institute under the Central Academy of Sciences......

"Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan, your courage is a little too big, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers......" Zhang Hong sighed anxiously in his heart. In the midst of such an occasion, question the Führer to your face, you ...... You're really ......."

Among the more than 2,000 participants, there were many respected veterans in the scientific field, as well as experts and scholars who have a deep understanding of the development process of human civilization. But in the past two hundred years, in the process of countless dazzling new stars rising and falling with the passage of time, no one has ever asked such a question to the Führer, not a single one.

Compared to Zhao Huasheng. Zhao Lan is not outstanding. Even in the discipline to which Zhao Lan belongs, Zhao Lan can only be regarded as ordinary. If it weren't for Zhao Lan's luck, Zhao Lan wouldn't even be able to get the title of the first to discover the anomaly disappearance of celestial bodies. Zhao Lan is so ordinary, but at this moment, when countless outstanding people are not aware of this problem, or are aware of this problem, but because of various concerns and have not raised this question to the leaders of the entire human civilization, the ordinary Zhao Lan has no scruples to ask this question.

There may be many people who say that they are grandstanding, or that the embarrassment they have caused to the Führer in person will have a great impact on their future career, and they will no longer be able to engage in the industry they like in the future...... But Zhao Lan didn't care about anything. Zhao Lan knew his heart, and knew that he didn't ask this question for the sake of honor or fame or anything like that. Zhao Lan knew that just like his ancestor Zhao Huasheng could bear the misunderstanding and hostility of the entire human civilization in order to complete the task, although he was only an ordinary human being, he also did not mind paying even a heavy price in order to make the entire human civilization develop better.

Faced with Zhao Lan's face-to-face questioning, the Führer looked a little embarrassed. Not only the Führer, but also the heads of departments sitting on either side of the Führer felt a little embarrassed. The Führer coughed, and finally replied with some helplessness: "Of course I know the importance of developing science and technology, but in the case of limited social resources, I can only make trade-offs between different needs. People's livelihood problems, economic problems, infrastructure construction problems, violent elements and terrorist problems, etc., all need to consume a lot of social resources, and I can't pour so many social resources into the development of science and technology. ”

"So I want to ask, during the 100 years that technology has been at a high speed, did the problems you mentioned not exist? In fact, there were only more problems in that time, and never less than they are now. At that time, the solar crisis had just ended, there was a lot of chaos waiting to be rebuilt, all kinds of despair and sadness were hanging over the whole society, but why were we able to maintain such rapid technological development at that time? In the face of the Führer's explanation, Zhao Lan's questioning was sharp and ruthless.

"After all, the situation is different from that time, and we can't simply apply the situation from different periods." The Führer thought for a moment, and then replied.

"But when the crisis comes, it doesn't care about these things." Zhao Lan then said, "The crisis doesn't care how many reasons we don't have to develop science and technology, when the crisis comes, if our technology is not advanced enough, we will only have a dead end." Two hundred years ago, we landed on Mars, and our most advanced spacecraft had reached a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per second, but now, 200 years later, we have not even landed on Jupiter, and our most advanced spacecraft cannot even reach 300 kilometers per second! ”

Faced with Zhao Lan's questioning, the Führer finally did not answer again. The Führer thought there for a while, then got up and left his seat, first bowing to Zhao Lan, then turning around and bowing again to all the scientists present.

The venue began to fall silent again.

"It's my governing philosophy that has gone wrong." The Führer said very seriously: "In the face of Ms. Zhao Lan's questioning, I reflected on my past, and then I had to admit it. I am always in the pursuit of people's livelihood, the pursuit of economic development, although I also know the importance of science and technology, but in practice, but always involuntarily reduce the investment in science and turn to other places, which leads to my insufficient investment in the development of science and technology, resulting in our current level of science and technology is not enough to face the current crisis, is my vision is too narrow. I will not shirk my mistakes, but I will conduct a deep review of the mistakes I have made. Ms. Zhao Lan, thank you for the reminder. Your love and sense of responsibility for our human civilization are no less than that of your ancestor Zhao Huasheng. ”

After saying this, the Führer once again bent down to all the scientists present. At this moment, all the scientists, including everyone on the podium, stood up, and the roof was almost lifted by the enthusiastic applause. (To be continued.) )
