Chapter 90: No One Wins!

Earth station.
It was the first time Yang Xi had come here, and when she got on the plane and left Earth a few hours ago, she was already dizzy.
"Is all this true? Are you sure I'm not dreaming? Seeing the huge Jupiter in the distance through the porthole, Yang Xi subconsciously suspected that he was dreaming.
"You're not dreaming, now we're in the orbit of Jupiter!" Zhou Chen reached out and pinched her face, and the pain made her wake up immediately, but thinking that she was actually next to Jupiter now, she couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
"Dandan, show the projection of the entire Earth station at once!"
Ignoring Yang Xi, who was a little stupid, Zhou Chen shouted into the void.
In the next second, a solar system composed of light and shadow appeared in front of him, and then the position was quickly fixed to the Earth's station in Jupiter's orbit, and a three-dimensional space map about 1,000 kilometers long, 800 kilometers wide, and 80 kilometers high was displayed.
On the space map, the main outline of the station has been fixed, but there are still fine particles wriggling in the corners and corners, in fact, it is millions of engineering robots working hard, so every minute and every second, the earth station is growing!
At this time, the Earth station presented in the space map was already magnificent, and in addition to the other functional blocks that had been divided, there were already twenty-five large docks for the construction of civilization-class ships standing in the central dock area.
These docks are huge, with dense channels reserved around them for transporting all kinds of semi-finished materials needed to build ships, and once the construction is officially started, they will be the most resource-intensive place in the entire station, and at that time, the rest of the construction of the base will come to an end, and all the materials that have been mined and smelted will be gathered and fed to the twenty-five gold-swallowing behemoths.
took Yang Xi around the station, and found that Yang Xi seemed to be gradually adapting to the existence of this "alien base", and couldn't help but admire the adaptability of human beings. In other words, human beings with complex emotions have a variety of mechanisms for regulating their emotions when dealing with the unknown environment, and one of them happens to fit the environment they are facing.
Yang Xi is indeed adapting, although the entire station is still very empty, walking on the corridor is like entering a labyrinth made entirely of metal, but there is Zhou Chen by her side, which makes her feel very relieved. However, thinking of the evacuation that would unfold in a few decades, she glanced at Zhou Chen out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly felt a little distressed in her heart.
She suddenly realized that this man was carrying too much pressure on his shoulders, but fortunately, everything was slowly developing in a favorable direction, and it was considered to be a reward for his efforts.
In the hall of the Academy of Sciences, Zhou Chen convened a meeting of the ten members of the Provisional Committee of the Academy of Sciences, all of whom were the owners of the seventh-level scientific authority, and were currently the ten people with the highest authority in the Academy of Sciences. Even the five people who were already in the Earth Division were summoned this time.
There are two main contents of today's meeting, the first content is to introduce Yang Xi to everyone, of course, this is not too important, Zhou Chen randomly arranged a ninth-level authority for her, and the procedure was completed.
The other thing that is the focus of this meeting is about the election and evaluation of the heads of the thirteen scientific disciplines.
At present, the discipline division of the Academy of Sciences is mainly divided into thirteen scientific categories, and a strict management system should set up a person in charge of a discipline, but in the past, because the number of scientists recruited was too small, and the knowledge did not reach the level of setting up a person in charge of the discipline, so the person in charge of these thirteen disciplines has been vacant.
Now after a period of running-in, Zhou Chen believes that it is time to set up a person in charge of the discipline.
"Regarding the establishment of discipline leaders, there are two main plans: first, select a few part-time discipline leaders from the ten members of the Provisional Committee of the Academy of Sciences, and select the remaining disciplines from the research groups below; Second, which option do you think is better to keep the Provisional Committee unchanged and not allow for concurrent positions, and the heads of the thirteen disciplines are selected entirely from the following study groups? ”
After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he looked at the ten people present and motioned for them to express their opinions.
"I think the management system should be clear, since the management method based on authority is implemented, then authority should be followed, so I don't agree with the first plan." Cao Jiangfeng was the first to express his position, but his attitude was to oppose the first plan.
"I think we should leave more opportunities to the people below, so that the enthusiasm of the research group can be more stimulated!" The speaker was a statistical physicist, Gustav, from Finland, who is only in his early thirties this year and was an associate professor at a Finnish university.
"I agree with Mr. Cao and Gustav that we should leave the opportunity to the people below, and taking too many positions will attract hatred." Abraham, an inorganic analytical chemist from Australia, shrugged his shoulders and joked.
Now there are three people who agree with the second plan, and the remaining seven people think about it and agree with it.
Seeing that everyone's opinions were relatively unanimous, Zhou Chen nodded: "Since this is the case, then take the second plan!" In the name of the Provisional Committee of the Academy of Sciences, you draw up a campaign plan for two months' time, on February 27th! ”
This day happens to be the day when the dragon rises in the Chinese lunar calendar, and it has a good meaning.
"Aspiring candidates can sign up with you, and when the time comes, you will jointly write the questions, and the person with the best results will be appointed as the person in charge of the discipline! If you have a level, you will also be upgraded to level 7! ”
In this way, the heads of the thirteen disciplines and the ten members of the temporary committee were all level seven, and the ten people present had a grim face and felt a kind of pressure. At this moment, they made up their minds that after they went back, in addition to completing the organizational tasks wholeheartedly, they must also study the knowledge of their own disciplines assiduously.
Among several people, if you want to say that your position is the most stable, it is Cai Xiaoxi.
After all, she took the risk of injecting a chain database, and she is far ahead of others on the road of scientific research. Although there is no comparison between the different disciplines, at least in the biological category, there is no one who is her opponent.
Because of her stable position, she has the most open mind, so she is the most relaxed one in the entire venue.
Yang Xi sat next to Zhou Chen silently, and when her eyes looked at Cai Xiaoxi, who was not inferior to her in terms of figure or appearance, she suddenly felt a threat coming towards her.
"This Cai Xiaoxi is wearing a white coat, so temperamental!" She muttered secretly, wondering if she should also change into a coat and wear it, thinking that her temperament should not be worse than hers.
At the end of the meeting, the personnel dispersed one after another, Zhou Chen privately asked Cao Jiangfeng to understand the progress of the cracking of the signal generator, and when he learned that there was no progress, although he felt a little regretful, he did not feel strange.
On Cai Xiaoxi's side, there has been amazing progress in the nutrient solution for prolonging the life of individuals, and she has begun to use computer simulation technology to carry out human experiments. The initial results are not bad, but considering individual differences, there is still a lot of work to be done in the future.
sent everyone away, and only Zhou Chen and Yang Xi were left in the entire room.
It seemed that Yang Xi's interest was not very high, and Zhou Chen was a little strange: "What's the matter, suddenly a little absent-minded?" ”
Yang Xi shook his head lightly, a little confused: "Is it true that after more than thirty years, only 300 million people can be evacuated, does that mean that the vast majority of people will be abandoned, and what awaits them is the fate of being enslaved by aliens?" ”
This question is difficult to answer, the answer is undoubtedly yes, but he cannot say, can only be silent.
"I think of the movie "2012", in the face of the end of the world, the vast majority of people are abandoned, and those who are eligible for tickets are either rich businessmen, scientists, or politicians, they are all people who stand at the top of society, and as ordinary people who account for the vast majority, they can only be abandoned."
"This time we can take 300 million people, I don't know how much better than in "2012", but one thing will not change, these 300 million must also be the elite of the entire human race, I know your choice will be better than in "2012", at least the rich businessmen and politicians are not as lucky as in the movie. But for the sake of the continuation of civilization, who is not an elite in all walks of life who has the last chance to go? ”
Zhou Chen is still silent, maybe for the continuation of civilization, there are too many people who are regarded as burdens, but they are actually not inferior to those who can leave! From a higher perspective, in fact, the entire human race is not much different, but they are all poor creatures looking for survival in danger.
But the reality is that people have to be cruel.
"So, I suddenly thought of a question......"
"What's the problem?" Zhou Chen asked.
"If I wasn't your girlfriend and didn't have the pretty-looking skin I have now, would I be the one who was abandoned on Earth?"
"There are not so many assumptions in reality!" Zhou Chen spoke at this time, indeed, as he said, there are not so many assumptions in reality! Even though there will be a large number of "Yang Xi" in this world who can't leave, this is a fact and can't be changed, but he doesn't want Yang Xi to drill the horns.
He sighed: "Maybe the biggest mistake for those who can't leave is not good enough, but when you say this, it actually hides the fact that the people of the earth, including the decision-makers, are not good enough!" It's not that people who can't leave the earth aren't good enough, it's that our entire human civilization isn't good enough! If those who can leave are good enough, then why do they want to leave, and why can't they leave with other people when they leave? ”
"In this matter, we planet will always be the losers! No one wins! ”
Yang Xi was stunned: "But at least the people who left survived." ”
"Yes, if I survived, I was shorter and taller than I was lucky, so what I could do was to try to make more people lucky."
Zhou Chen shook his head and looked at the far-reaching starry sky, imagining an unpredictable realm on the other side.
……
At this time, in the nine directions of the solar system, the main ships of the nine formations are entering the stage of high-speed navigation with their support ships, and the nine formations have successively flown past the boundary of the solar system's magnetic field and are moving away from the solar system little by little.
The sun's gravitational pull on them is getting smaller and smaller, and the light it gives them is getting thinner.
The surroundings gradually became empty, the void that was already nothing, became even more lonely, and the sun behind it had become a point of light the size of a pin's eye.
And in the other direction, the Poseidon, which was shouldered to run to the mysterious coordinates, also crossed the boundary of the solar magnetic field with its support ship.
