Chapter Seventy-Three: Reshaping the World
Zhao Huasheng remained in the hospital for five days. In these five days, more than 20 people came to visit Zhao Huasheng. Among these people, there are Zhao Huasheng's former colleagues, subordinates, leaders, friends, and even a distant elder of Zhao Huasheng who survived.
These people are testing Zhao Huasheng's tone intentionally or unintentionally, but Zhao Huasheng's performance is always very cold. When negotiators and psychologists finally arrived and began to try to change Zhao Huasheng's mind in a clever way, Zhao Huasheng finally showed a tough attitude again.
Zhao Huasheng smashed a cup on the negotiator's head, and even if it weren't for the security personnel who arrived in time, Zhao Huasheng would have picked up a glass shard and cut the expert's neck blood vessels in the next moment. Then Zhao Huasheng refused to meet with anyone again. The security here is very tight, so Zhao Huasheng can't escape, so Zhao Huasheng is expressing his resoluteness in this way.
"You can kill me and torture me at any time, but that also means that I will never speak of the solution to the solar crisis. Unless you make this deal with me. There is no other way. I no longer belong to human beings, and all the affection, love, and friendship in human civilization seem to me like dust. Stop trying to break my defenses with these things. ”
Zhao Huasheng's expression was as indifferent as a stone in the ice and snow.
After Zhao Huasheng showed the most resolute ↘ intentions, a meeting attended by a very small number of people was convened under the auspices of the Führer. Attendees include top psychologists, negotiators, stellar physicists, and more.
The Führer said: "As you can see, Zhao Huasheng declared that he had broken away from human civilization and cut off human civilization, and put forward a proposal to make a deal with human civilization, the content of which was that Zhao Huasheng handed over a solution to the solar crisis, and human civilization was responsible for building a lunar base for Zhao Huasheng to live in permanently." What do you think about this? ”
A physicist took the lead in saying: "Regarding this matter, we must first evaluate two aspects: first, whether Zhao Huasheng really has a solution to the solar crisis, and second, whether human civilization really has the ability to build a lunar base on the moon." ”
"I don't know about the first point, but on the second point, after our assessment, we believe that with our current technology, we already have the ability to build a permanent base of life on the moon," an engineer said. We have this scientific foundation, and our obstacles are only technical details that can be overcome in a short period of time. ”
"What do we need to pay to build this moon base?" The Führer asked.
"We need to carry out at least three thousand rocket launches – rocket launches with conventional thrust. Because we were going to move supplies to the moon rather than orbiting the Earth, we needed more thrust, and the new rockets couldn't provide that power, so they had to be conventional thrust rockets that could only be used once. This is only the rocket aspect, in addition, we need to send at least ten astronauts to the moon to participate in the construction, our precision equipment factory on the earth will occupy at least 30 percent of the construction capacity, from the moon base planning, site selection, drawings, construction, launch, orbit, landing, assembly, logistics support and a series of actions, we need at least five million workers, scientists, engineers, logistics support personnel and so on to participate in the construction of this project. The time consumed is also a minimum of four years. Overall, the resources consumed to build a permanently habitable lunar base are greater than those consumed by the Crimson Heart spacecraft. ”
Another engineer proposed: "If we take the approach of building a relay station, which is to build a space base in orbit around the Earth, and then all the supplies are transferred there, and the new rocket transports the supplies to the space base, and then the space base sends them to the moon, we can save about 30 percent of the resources and labor consumption." After all, the biggest drag we need to fight is the Earth's gravity, and this link can be replaced by a new reusable rocket. ”
"It's probably going to work." The first engineer thought for a moment, then continued: "As for whether this approach is good or bad, we need to evaluate it in detail. In general, building a base on the moon for permanent survival is something we can do with the power of our human civilization. ”
"But I would like to remind the Führer that you should be careful. The overall strength of our human civilization is limited, and in the midst of the bitter cold of the last days, our strength is still declining. Then it is necessary to consider whether it is worth investing so much resources and energy, as well as time, on building a lunar base. If, in the end, it turns out that our hard work has been wasted, it means, in a way, that at least 100 million human beings have died in vain – because if they hadn't been wasted, they wouldn't have had to die. ”
"So, the key question is whether Zhao Huasheng really has the ability to solve the solar crisis. ”
"Yes, that's the crux of the matter." The engineer nodded.
The Führer looked at the seat of the Scientific Research Department, and a scientist stood up and said: "Führer, during this period of time, in accordance with your orders, we have sent an expert group to form an investigation and evaluation team to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Zhao Huasheng's work, and our final conclusion is that Zhao Huasheng has only a 50% chance of having the ability to solve the solar crisis. The reason for this conclusion is that we did not take any inspiration from Zhao Huasheng's work, and we found that Zhao Huasheng's work was just some ordinary research work, which any ordinary stellar physicist could be able to do. But we still think that Zhao Huasheng has at least a 50 percent chance of having a solution. Because we can't rule out a subtle, very hidden key point, maybe the solution to the solar crisis is hidden in this key point, and if we figure out this key point, we can get a solution to the solar crisis, and if we can't figure it out, there is nothing. Combined with the peculiar relationship between Director Li Qi and Zhao Huasheng, we believe that Zhao Huasheng is likely to have mastered this key point. So, we ended up with a 50 percent assessment. ”
The Führer nodded: "There is a fifty percent chance that we will gamble with so many resources...... I don't think it's wise. ”
The Führer said very frankly, "If your assessment had an eighty percent chance, I might have made the decision to gamble, but right now, the odds are too low." ”
One psychologist said, "Maybe we don't have to pay that huge price to build a lunar base." We can think about a situation, even if Zhao Huasheng really has a solution to the solar crisis, do we really have to build a lunar base in exchange? No, it doesn't have to. Although Zhao Huasheng claims to have detached himself from human civilization, he is a real human being from spirit to body, and as long as he is still in the human category and has the cognition of a normal human being, his decision is not irreversible. ”
"That is why I invited you and negotiators to this meeting," the Führer said. Zhao Huasheng is also hungry, sleepy, painful, sad, anxious and sad, and he has all the reactions that normal humans have. I need you to help me analyze Zhao Huasheng's psychology, and then help me find a way to get Zhao Huasheng to hand over the solution to the solar crisis. The cost of building a lunar base is too great for us to afford. ”
"Through the evaluation of several things that happened to Zhao Huasheng, we believe that the biggest factor that led Zhao Huasheng to declare that he wanted to break away from human civilization was that Zhao Huasheng did not have a sense of belonging to human civilization. This can actually be regarded as a psychological mechanism of "avoiding harm", because in Zhao Huasheng's subconscious, Zhao Huasheng believes that human society will only bring him pain, so he will make the decision to leave human society and live alone on the moon. This is actually a very naïve psychological mechanism, and only immature people will choose to escape when they encounter harm. ”
This psychological mechanism is actually quite consistent with Zhao Huasheng's past. Zhao Huasheng is taciturn, wooden, and not good at words, which is actually a psychological defense mechanism that closes himself off and prevents him from being harmed. In the past period of time, because of the existence of Li Wei, Zhao Huasheng's mental outlook has undergone great changes, and he has begun to become optimistic, cheerful, positive and proactive, and it is during this period of time that his work has made breakthroughs. So in a way, Li Wei is not just a lover in Zhao Huasheng's view, and it is likely that she also plays the role of a spiritual pillar. But it is precisely because of this that Li Wei's betrayal will make Zhao Huasheng have such a huge change. Coupled with the attack and the unanimous crusade of public opinion, it is easy for Zhao Huasheng's world to collapse, and it is not difficult to understand the decision to break away from human society. ”
"This kind of person is actually quite stubborn, and it is difficult for them to change one thing when they see it. They only want to live in their own world, refusing to have too much contact with the outside world. So to change Zhao Huasheng's mind...... It's hard, but it's not impossible. ”
The Führer asked: "How can it be changed?" ”
"Reshape Zhao Huasheng's world and rebuild Zhao Huasheng's sense of belonging to human civilization." The psychologist said
