Chapter 044: Reconstruction
Then Mars entered the melee, and no one cared about the life or death of the Four Elephants fleet anymore. However, in the scientific community, some people often mention that the reason is Zhao Hongbin.
Zhao Hongbin's highest achievement in his life, 'the light of mankind', is definitely not just talking. The so-called light of mankind is a scientist who has "a great impetus for the progress of human civilization" selected during the period of the Human Alliance. There is only one criterion for selection, 'which has a huge impetus for the progress of human civilization', although there is only one criterion, but in the long history of mankind, there are indeed very few people who are worthy of this criterion. Even the Nobel Prize winners are not qualified, although they are outstanding in their respective fields, but they may not be so great for the promotion of the entire process of human civilization.
The main reason why Zhao Hongbin was able to obtain the evaluation of human light is not his main business of physics research, but what really made him win this award is because of a project he led the team to research when he was young, the original name of this project is called 'Moon City', and later, it has become an ecological dome city that is now widely used by people.
One or several technologies may not be difficult for a scientist or research institute, but there are too many aspects involved in ecological dome city technology. Things that seem mundane on Earth will be more difficult to achieve in the environment of space. The disciplines involved such as environmental science, biology, physics, etc., are not an exaggeration to say that they recreate a small world. Of course, Zhao Hongbin alone could not complete such a huge project, but under his integration and overall planning, the group of people who led the human alliance during the period of the golden generation have overcome one problem after another and solved the problem of human survival on extraterrestrial planets.
This light of humanity was awarded to the team led by Zhao Hongbin to be precise, but it is also a well-deserved thing to attribute the honor to him, because in the whole project, in terms of personal contributions, Zhao Hongbin is also deservedly the most contribution. He solves the most critical problems, such as gravity, food, and so on.
Zhao Hongbin is also the last recipient of the light of mankind so far. Because the organization that selects the light of humanity was during the period of the Human Alliance, and after the dissolution of the Human Alliance, there is no longer a recognized organization to conduct the selection. Of course, this is not the key, the key is that since Zhao Hongbin, there has not been a scientist's research or project that has made such a substantial contribution to mankind as the ecological dome city.
The main reason for the dissolution of the human alliance was the competition for helium-3 resources. At that time, human beings could already arrive on Mars in large quantities, and the gradual maturity of ecological dome technology allowed human beings to see the feasibility of planetary migration. This also means that if anyone has more helium-3 resources, they can transport more people to Mars, and they can march from Mars to the asteroid belt, and even explore wider space through the asteroid belt. In a sense, Zhao Hongbin's research is also one of the fuses for the disintegration of the human alliance, because if human beings do not have stable technology to survive on other planets, the major forces will still be in a state of huddling together for warmth.
It's not that Zhao Hongbin doesn't understand this truth, so he has always been obsessed with himself. After the dissolution of the Human Alliance, there was not a single public mention of the Eco-Dome City technology, as if this 'human light' had nothing to do with him. At the same time, he has not used the ecological dome technology to make a penny of profits, you must know that this is a 'just need', if Zhao Hongbin does not disclose various patents, relying on licensing fees alone, he can easily achieve the position of the richest man in mankind.
However, although Zhao Hongbin never mentioned ecological dome technology, the direction of research has also shifted to theoretical physics. But some people still believe that Zhao Hongbin still has reservations about the public ecological dome technology. One of the most obvious examples is that when the Four Elephant Ships were introduced to the outside world, a technology was disclosed, and this technology was that the five main ships of the Four Elephant Ships all had the ability to 'land into a city'. In other words, when the ship lands, it can directly become an ecological dome city. Compared with the now widely used eco-dome city technology, this technology is undoubtedly more portable. However, this technology has not been made public, which shows that Zhao Hongbin still has reservations.
Liu Jie, as the chief military attache of the Kirin Ship, although he was not affiliated with any technical department, was a student of Zhao Hongbin back then, and when the teacher was doing experiments, he would often help out in the laboratory as an assistant, and he knew a little more about the so-called "retained" technology of Zhao Hongbin by the outside world. First of all, Zhao Hongbin's ecological dome technology disclosed to the public is indeed reserved. But how much was kept, he did not know. Because Liu Jie was not interested in this kind of 'civilian technology', he was full of naval guns and intelligent equipment at that time. In addition, the technology of transforming ships into ecological dome cities, and the other technology is engineering, which is a part that Zhao Hongbin will not know, and it was completed by Wang Feng back then. But this part is not the core technology, not Wang Feng, and another top engineer should be able to do the same thing.
The most important technology is the miniaturization of the ecological dome.
But for Liu Jie now, what he needs is the opposite, what he needs is not miniaturization technology, but just the opposite, what he needs is giant technology. Alternatively, the technology of linking ecological domes together can also be used. Since the birth of the ecological dome, there has been a standard size, and this value is a calculated 'balanced' value. The most important thing in ecological dome technology is the word balance. Nothing is balanced, human beings cannot survive, air pressure, gravity, and everything else needs to be balanced. The balance of these data is a huge system project, and the team led by Zhao Hongbin only gave three sets of data, in other words, it limited the size of the ecological dome, and there were only three types.
There are now more than 300 ecological domes on Mars, large and small, all of which are these three models, without exception. It's not that no one has studied other sizes, but because of the lack of previous data support, recalculation is tantamount to redoing what Zhao Hongbin did back then, you must know that Zhao Hongbin's project back then was supported by the Human Alliance, the support of all mankind, and the resources consumed were huge. If you are a force on Mars, even if you can get it, it is not cost-effective. Because if the area of an ecological dome city is not enough, it is very simple to build two, and the problem will be solved, and it will not be possible to rebalance the data.
Liu Jie's problem is that he has conquered the city and has too many ecological dome cities, so he wants to integrate them. But the difficulty in this is not as simple as one plus one equals two. The ecological dome city he owns occupies one-third of the area of Mars, and if they are all integrated, it is enough to have the area of the Eurasian continent on the earth, this is not an ecological dome city, this is another planet. Turn Mars into Earth!
