For a long time, Ye Ming's achievements in the field of natural sciences have concealed another identity of him, that is...... He is the director of the Brain-Computer Center.

For brain science, he is an authority.

In brain science, or in the biological realm, there is a forbidden area that humans cannot touch.

- Maintaining the integrity of human beings as biological nature, also known as maintaining the integrity of the human species.

Since the end of the last century, the concept of human species integrity has been widely invoked and has become a key concept in ethical arguments in ethical discussions on technologies closely related to the future of mankind, such as human reproductive cloning, stem cell research, human heritable gene editing, and "human augmentation" and "brain-computer connection".

At the same time, in various international conventions and legal instruments related to biomedical research, "protection of the integrity of the human species" is also regarded as an important principle and is generally recognized. (The last two paragraphs are copy)

Based on this principle, any behavior that undermines this ethics is strictly prohibited – in the current explosion of technology, the scientific community can turn a blind eye to certain violations of the rules, such as skipping certain steps when doing experiments. But for things like fetal gene editing, human cloning, etc., it is absolutely not allowed.

But......

As everyone knows.

When the benefits of one thing can be so great that it cannot be turned down...... Then it will be difficult to be stopped by morality and law.

Cloning is not an advanced technique.

If consciousness, that is, the information of human cranial nerves, can be read in its entirety, then human beings may be able to achieve technological immortality - if it is not mixed with metaphysics, which believes that consciousness is generated by the activity of human cranial nerves, then it is theoretically feasible to replicate the activity of a brain into a cloned brain.

It is even possible to construct a mechanical and electronic environment that matches the electrical activity generated by human consciousness, thus achieving the so-called "mechanical ascension".

Therefore, Ye Ming didn't dare to think about this at all.

But he had to think about it in this way—not for humanity, but for other civilizations in the universe, or "opponents", or even "enemies".

Tens of thousands of years, the devil knows how far those civilizations will go.

……

Ye Ming knew that Sheng Fei was a person with a good brain and a lot of courage at the same time. Therefore, after arranging a task for Sheng Fei, he thought for a while and added: "I had a brief discussion with Mogu just now, and I think that the Blue Star people may have mastered a technology that converts brain signals into electrical signals to achieve intelligent control, so you can see if there is such a thing as a life support cabin." ”

Sheng Fei was stunned for a second, and sure enough, he shouted: "? So awesome? ”

"What's this...... Aren't we already able to implement simple brain-computer control now? Ye Ming quietly downgraded Canglanxing's biotechnology: "Of course, this is just our preliminary guess, you pay attention to it next, and then find Peng Xiaofei or Li Dongsheng to refer to it, they know the design ideas of smart factories." ”

"That's fine." Sheng Fei has always been obedient to Ye Ming's words, and after hearing Ye Ming say this, he nodded happily and agreed, and then looked at him with burning eyes: "By the way, what does the accelerator say?" ”

"There is no result yet, such a large investment, the above must do an in-depth evaluation."

"Tsk...... If you can really make that kind of dense structure of the substance, wouldn't the groove be invincible? ”

"Invincible egg, the energy intensity is still not good now, we must achieve a higher power output in the field of weapons before we dare to go out and mix." Ye Ming picked up the teacup, tried the temperature just right, and then took a big sip: "Hey, your tea is good, where is it?" ”

“…… On the edge of the West Lake. ”

"Give me the hour." Ye Ming took another sip, put down the teacup, and stood up: "Let's go, there is news to inform me." ”

"Okay."

……

Once the direction and plan are set, the exploration becomes methodical and step-by-step – and the result of an orderly process is generally slowed down.

Of course, Ye Ming was not in a hurry.

He believes that as the exploration progresses, sooner or later there will be a flashpoint.

Time passed slowly.

A month later, Ye Ming's proposal to build a ring accelerator on the moon, as well as a two-dimensional space membrane generator and a super gravitational wave field generator, was officially adopted.

On the same day, the state also issued another 5 trillion yuan of debt, and on the day after the debt was issued, the central banks of more than a dozen countries directly announced the purchase of the debt.

But just because the proposal is adopted doesn't mean it's going to be built right away.

You must know that such a huge project requires a huge amount of resources.

Nowadays, when the main production activities of human beings can only be completed by the earth factory, in order to complete the project, in addition to getting money, it is also necessary to get the entire industrial chain.

As such, it will adopt a full-scale bidding process that will involve qualified companies and institutions from all over the world in the form of suppliers.

However, the premise is that it must enter the production management system of Aita.

Such conditions did not cause much backlash and discussion.

After all...... The nations of mankind have de facto moved towards another form of global cooperation, towards the path of a human community.

Those ups and downs of previous years...... Now that humanity has crossed the galaxy and is about to travel 2.6 million light-years away, it has long since disappeared.

Whether it is Twitter, Facebook, or China, except for some extremely stubborn anti-intellectual groups, the general discussion of this project is ......

How far can humanity go in our lifetime?

But bidding is easy to say and easy to do......

Well, it's not that hard.

Because of the existence of Aita, I don't know how many years of time have been saved in the design and decomposition of the project.

——Aita has broken down the three main projects into nearly 20,000 sub-projects, and each project has made extremely detailed requirements and explanations.

After giving the task, Aita also made the best adaptation object according to the list in the production management system.

To put it bluntly, if it were not for the autonomy of the enterprise, Aita could have given production orders.

】

And that's just the first step.

In addition to production equipment, there are intermediate transportation, lunar assembly, and energy rationing.

In order to meet the transportation needs, as a supporting transportation of unmanned spacecraft, at least 30 current Sky Survey ships are needed, and the energy needs three helium fusion substations of the same power as Shanghai.

These also cost money.

And not even much less than the main body of the project......

And Ye Ming, as the proposer of the project, naturally has the responsibility to save every cent of the people's fat and ointment for the sake of the entire project's security plan.

Therefore, he began to redesign a new unmanned space carrier in near-earth orbit.
