Chapter 15: Mankind's First Spaceship
"Social Model No. 12 is very interesting!"
"Civilizations living in water can actually develop heat energy, and even skip the steam revolution and directly use electricity!"
A sociology professor and his colleagues are analyzing the materials that Lu Yu has sent back from the planetary school, which contains the social structure and history of various planetary-level civilizations.
Compared with science and technology, these materials are unpopular knowledge, but they have an unimaginable role in the development of human civilization!
This is a real social sample, which is more useful than a computer deducing it thousands of times.
"The civilization that has developed in the water seems to humans to have too many limitations, but in their eyes it is not necessarily!"
"According to the data, the home star of this civilization is a planet without a large land mass, but it only took more than 12,000 years for people to develop controllable nuclear fusion, and if it weren't for the spaceship of the Alliance of Conscious Life Forms passing by, they would even be able to develop into a stellar civilization themselves!"
Another professor retorted, and the professor who spoke first glared at him, and immediately organized his language and prepared to debate with the other party.
"Alright, alright!"
"That's not the point! Let's not forget that the most important thing for us now is to select two key reference samples from more than 5,000 social samples! ”
"First, many civilizations are like overcoming the negative effects of virtual reality technology on ethnic groups."
"How to build an effective stellar system defense system in the samples of the Second Civilization!"
"The focus of the second item is not on our side, at most it is just to assist in the analysis, but now we have discussed the first reference sample for so long without determining the results, and the base has urged the third time!"
One of the professors quickly stood up and reiterated the theme of the conference, and in the past two months, these sociology professors have seen the coveted example of the cosmic society, and finally do not have to stare at the horned and lizard civilizations to repeatedly dig through the details.
But the trouble with happiness is that a large number of samples require a lot of energy, and they are still tasked with the task of not just conducting academic research.
"Civilization No. 172, about virtual reality to do these things......"
"Civilization No. 208, measures for virtual reality are ......"
……
Despite the feeling of being forced to open a business, the professors took the results seriously and put them together.
However, these are the methods and measures of other civilizations, and with reference to the biological nature of many intelligent races, which are very different from human beings, each method and measure needs to be simulated by computers in order to draw a preliminary conclusion about whether it is suitable for human civilization.
This is also the reason why a group of professors rarely get together from their respective research groups, and after the simulation experiment began, the professors were surprised to find that the supercomputer at Base Zero today was unexpectedly smooth, and more than a dozen large-scale scene simulations were opened in a row to run.
"Huh? How can we get so much computing power to assist in deduction today? ”
"How many big research project teams are so generous today? Are you willing to put so much computing power into our humanities group? ”
These sociology professors, who have been busy with their madness for a while, may have forgotten that today may be a day to remember in human history.
At this moment, most of the project researchers and the project leader of Base Zero stopped what they were doing and came to the holographic projection hall to witness the historical moment that was about to happen!
They poured sweat and hard work into it to create a miracle in the history of human engineering!
On the projection screen, the first thing shown is the space factory at the second Lagrange point.
Even if it was a bit too large as a space factory, if it weren't for the space city that followed Lu Yu to see the Alliance of Conscious Lifeforms, I'm afraid it would have been proudly called a space city.
The original single-ring structure has become a larger double ring, each with a working chamber carrying different functions, making the small space city of mankind a bit like a large ball bearing in the universe.
But in fact, the most eye-catching thing now is not the first space city of mankind, but the huge spaceship that has just been built in the center of the ring.
This is the first real spaceship of mankind - Kunlun!
The semi-ellipsoid spacecraft is a kilometer long from bow to stern, with a maximum width of 500 meters at the tail and a thickness of 200 meters, which is nearly twice as large as expected in the drawings!
This is a miracle created by Base Zero with all its strength in a short period of time, equipped with engines capable of cruising at up to 5% of the speed of light, allowing humans to quickly move to any position in the solar system!
It can be said that the success of this spaceship means that the productive forces of Huaguo have entered the middle stage of the second-level civilization!
If this is observed by extraterrestrial civilizations, I wonder if they will be frightened and turn overnight?
You must know that five years ago, the entire human civilization was not even mature in controlled nuclear fusion technology, and five years later, Huaguo has reached the productivity of the middle stage of the second-level civilization!
Thinkers
On the scale of the universe, I'm afraid that there are not many civilizations that can reach this level of technological explosion, right?
If we give more time for Huaguo to develop, and let Base Zero master more breakthroughs from theory to technology, I am afraid that when the unknown fleet arrives, it will really be only able to sing and dance!
"Did the super engine really succeed? I've been worried that after this thing is produced, the spaceship will be bigger again! ”
"The lizard civilization in Base 52 is constantly drawing drawings for us, and there are more and more functions, otherwise it won't be changed again and again!"
"Building such a large spaceship is not just about conducting a deep space exploration, but also about establishing a prototype of an advance base on Ceres at one time, which can save us a lot of time for the Great Wall of Space program!" (Note 1)
"Now the second spacecraft is already in preparation, and this time it is very likely to reach the 3,000-meter level!"
"It's incredible, if someone had told me that such a big ship could be built in three months, I would have thought it a liar! But......... I know that I was able to participate in such a miracle myself! ”
Miracles, miracles, I don't know how many people are talking about it.
But with the breakthrough of science and technology, the people of Base Zero will break through more miracles that were once unimaginable.
As the images on the holographic projection began to change, the chaotic discussion in the hall subsided.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the spaceship fixed in the center of the circle by several robotic arms, the tail engine lit up slightly, it was the spacecraft pre-ignition preparation, and it was cruising in the asteroid belt for its first sea trial!
Now it is about to be prepared, and all who witness this moment are meditating in their hearts.
"Kunlun."
"Kunlun."
Note 1: The largest dwarf planet in the solar system, located in the asteroid belt, contains a large amount of ice in its composition.
