As more scientists joined, two camps were formed, namely "initiators" and "followers". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to Huang Weicheng, the "Spark Project", which led the escape of various civilizations in the galaxy, not only did not receive the support of a few scientists at the beginning, but also met with strong opposition. In order to maintain the prestige of humanity in the Galactic Alliance, the Human Science Council also passed a ban that no scientist should initiate, participate in, or discuss any topic related to escape, let alone initiate other civilizations to carry out actions related to flight without authorization. Although the ban became a waste paper after more and more scientists realized that fleeing was the only way out for all civilizations in the galaxy, including humans, many scientists had already taken action.

These scientists who were the first to take action were the initiators of the Spark Project.

Of course, when many civilizations joined the escape plan and began to build ships with the assistance of human scientists, more scientists joined in. Although they joined a little later, these scientists also believed that escape was the only way out for the Galactic Alliance, and made great contributions to the "Spark Project", participated in all the work that followed, so they were also the initiators.

Followers were the scientists who joined in the later stages of Project Spark, when civilizations had already built their ships and the escape was about to begin. Unlike the initiators, the Followers did not believe that escape was the only way out for the Galactic Alliance, at least not initially, nor did they approve of spending a lot of resources to build a ship for escape, let alone abandoning the galaxy. It was only when everything came to pass, in order to save their lives, that they joined in and were given equal treatment. The biggest difference between the followers and the initiator is the purpose of the flight, that is, the follower is only to save his life.

Obviously, this is a fatal problem, and what is even more fatal is that the number of followers far outnumbers the initiators.

In the words of Professor Wong, because in the beginning, any topic related to flight was banned, the number of the first initiators was small, less than 1 in 10,000 human scientists. For the sake of confidentiality, it is also extremely cautious when developing members. With the introduction of the "Spark Plan", especially after some key details have been implemented, stricter restrictions have been imposed on the development of members. The point is that, according to the original plan, each scientist is responsible for the construction of a spaceship, and will also be the sole navigator of the spacecraft, ensuring that the civilization carried by the spacecraft can reach its destination smoothly. Because the number of ships to be built has already been determined, the total number of scientists participating in the "Spark Project" is limited, and there is no need to develop more members as before.

The problem is that before the disaster struck, all of this was in vain.

At that time, in parallel with the "Spark Project", the "Revelation Project" was initiated by the Human Science Committee, participated by many scientists, and concentrated most of the resources of the Galactic Alliance, that is, through the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, to open space operations to other star systems.

It can be said that the "divine revelation plan" was the hope of almost everyone at that time.

At its peak, more than ninety percent of human scientists participated in the Divine Revelation Project, and almost all civilizations were mobilized.

In fact, it is precisely in order to ensure the smooth progress of the "Divine Revelation Project" that the Scientific Committee issued a ban on escape.

However, more than 100 years before the catastrophe, human scientists gradually realized that the "Divine Revelation Project" would not only fail to succeed, but also destroy the galaxy. It is precisely because of this that more and more scientists have chosen the "Spark Project" and joined the army of fugitives.

As more and more scientists switched to the "Spark Project", the initiators who mastered the "Spark Project" at that time had no choice.

Quite simply, these followers who joined later had a lot of resources at their disposal and a lot of influence in various civilizations, enough to ruin the Spark Project. If they are not allowed to join, they will be able to bury the entire Galactic Alliance by controlling other civilizations and blocking resources and technology.

Because there was no choice, the initiators had no choice but to let go of the restrictions and no longer prohibit other scientists from joining.

It is that at the beginning of the escape, dozens of times more scientists were involved than at the time of the initial plan.

"Although we have recognized the seriousness of the problem, and know that the Spark Project has deteriorated, at least not as smoothly as originally thought, and have taken action, such as developing a group of like-minded scientists to expand the team of initiators, it is too late, and in the face of the impending catastrophe, not many scientists think about anything other than survival."

"And then?"

Professor Huang Weicheng sighed and said: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the escape operation and ensure that we can all reach the Southern Alpha System safely, at least most of the spacecraft can reach their destination, before the escape begins, we have adjusted the control methods during the escape period and set up a control committee, that is, let the scientists on each spacecraft jointly manage it, and through the rotation system to ensure that no scientist can hold power forever." To put it simply, it is to replace a single commander through collective decision-making. There is another important reason for this, that is, we can't live for 10,000 years, so we have to prolong our lives through other means, and the most effective way is to hibernate. Through the control committee, as well as the rotation system, every scientist can be in a state of hibernation for most of the time, and they will be able to reach the Southern Alpha system alive. At that time, there were at least dozens of scientists on each spacecraft, and if only one scientist was awake and the other hibernated, then each scientist would only be awake for a few hundred years during the escape, less than three hundred years at most, and only a hundred years at the shortest, which did not exceed the limit life span of human beings. ”

"Obviously, the scientist who is in a state of awakening, that is, who rules a fugitive civilization, must be absolutely reliable."

Professor Huang Weicheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Obviously, knowing people and faces but not knowing hearts, no one in this world is infallible. ”

"What happened?"

"I don't know exactly what happened at that time, and I don't want to know. However, when I woke up, I didn't see the world I expected. It's just that I was lucky, or rather worried, and the precautions I took saved me. "As one of the first participants and initiator of the Spark Project, I was opposed to the admission of other scientists from the beginning, because I knew that without a common ideal, we would not be able to share weal and woe, let alone work together to create a new era." Unfortunately, there were very few scientists with this kind of vision at that time, and most of the initiators took it for granted that other scientists were our compatriots, not our enemies, and that we must not die without help. Others believe that if we become indifferent to the lives and deaths of our fellow citizens, what difference is between us and them, and that when we reach our destination, we will usher in a dark age in which we are not pursuing, but a dark age in which humanity is completely degraded. Because the majority of the initiators held this view, the opposition of a small number of initiators was rejected. It's just that I have never pinned my hopes on a group of scientists who have given up their ideals and goals in order to save their lives. Facts have also proved that my judgment was not wrong, otherwise I would not have escaped that catastrophe. ”

"What did you do?"

"Between the followers and the civilization I am responsible for saving, I chose the latter."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and his brows quickly furrowed.

"Including me, the first initiators consisted of only a hundred scientists in total, and we all had a special mission, and they all had the same mission, that is, to do our best to preserve the scientific and technological achievements of mankind. To this end, before the official launch of the Mars Project, we took action to collect and aggregate the results of human scientific research through various channels. At the beginning of the escape, we all took a copy with us. According to the plan, after reaching our destination, which is the Southern Alpha System, we will use these technologies to rebuild human civilization and help other civilizations achieve revival. Obviously, this scientific information is more important than us, and we all swear to defend it with our lives. However, out of these 100 scientists, I am different from the others, because I am the only one who opposes the salvation of those scientists who are committed to the 'Divine Project' to flee with us. That's why, after the escape began, I had a very bad premonition. In fact, before the escape began, I bet on the civilization to be saved, that is, the Meisen people, and cultivated and developed a group of diehards in the Meisen people. During my hibernation, these Masons were responsible for my safety and the protection of the technology in my possession. I was fortunate because my fears came true, and because the Mason people who were absolutely loyal to me didn't let me down. ”

"They saved you?"

Professor Huang Weicheng nodded and said, "After arriving in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, one of the scientists in power at that time poisoned other scientists in hibernation, because in his opinion, only by getting rid of other scientists could he become the sole ruler of the Mason clan. Because it happened suddenly, and because he couldn't have ordered the Masons to kill the human scientists, and he couldn't have attacked dozens of scientists at the same time, the Masons who were protecting me at the time caused a mess and blew up the hibernation pod to get me out. Because the hibernation pod was so badly damaged, no one knew I was alive and thought I was killed by the explosion like the other scientists. It's a pity that due to their own limitations, they can't wake me up from deep hibernation, so they can only hide me. However, it allowed me to avoid the rebellion that followed. In order to revive me, the Masons forcibly cracked the tech data I kept. Although a solution to deep hibernation was eventually found, most of the data was irreversibly damaged. ”

"It's just that it's too late."

"yes, it's too late. When I woke up, the Galactic Alliance was no longer the one I was familiar with. (To be continued.) )
