"There is no problem in solving diseases and prolonging life, but the artificial uterus will involve ethical issues, and even if the technology is reached, whether it can be implemented is still a problem." Su Zhe thought for a while and said.

Disease, prolongation of life, artificial uterus.

These three, strictly speaking.

Prolonging life is the most difficult.

To make the life expectancy of human beings exceed the limit of 120 years, we must either start from the lowest genes or from the external gene expression.

No matter which direction you go, it's very rare.

On the contrary, it is easier to solve the disease and artificial uterus.

Compared with the two, the former is more difficult.

The range of diseases is too wide.

At present, it is possible to solve diseases caused by tumors and bacteria and viruses.

Some of their own genetic defects, or their own problems, many still cannot be solved.

Rather, it's the latter.

According to his understanding, the artificial uterus technology is actually a step away.

With the current research intensity, the artificial uterus technology may break through at any time.

However, the artificial womb technology does not face the question of whether the technology can be realized, but the ethical problem.

Traditionally, the parents of a child born are not only parents in the biological sense, but also the relationship between the parents of the child.

If the artificial womb technology is popularized on a large scale, coupled with the comprehensive care of newborns in society.

Traditional family ties will be completely destroyed.

A child may be born with only biological parents, and the establishment of parents can have no relationship at all.

In his opinion, such a situation is developing.

In the end, adult men and women will only be asked to provide sperm and eggs, and nothing else, such as marriage, raising children, etc.

After birth, the child will be raised by society.

The traditional family will disappear.

Man will exist as an independent individual in society.

If you go one step further, sperm and eggs don't need to be provided by adult men and women.

In fact, think about it, with the development of science and technology, if we don't consciously control it, human beings will come to this day sooner or later.

"There is no ethical problem with disease and prolonging life, and there is no concern about blowing up the planet." Fan Xiaoming explained, "For the artificial uterus, now everyone's attitude is cautious, according to the meeting discussion, artificial uterus technology is only used for backup, or special circumstances, and we want to advocate natural fertility and encourage everyone to have more children." ”

To be honest, he struggled when it came to discussing this.

Knowing that life is rich, they are reluctant to have children.

As for the development of artificial uterine technology, it is also forced to be helpless.

We can't just watch the population continue to decrease and human civilization will not continue!

In his opinion, the artificial uterus technology must be mastered by human beings, and whether it should be promoted on a large scale is another question.

From the point of view, he does not want the artificial uterus technology to be popularized on a large scale.

This destroys existing traditional family relationships.

However, reason told him that if human beings did not take the initiative to change, human beings could really usher in the day when artificial wombs were popularized on a large scale.

Again, consider the interests of humanity as a whole, and do not consider those ethics.

The large-scale promotion of artificial womb technology can make the human population develop explosively in the shortest possible time.

In this way, there will be enough manpower to participate in the research of basic and applied sciences, as well as the full development of the solar system.

Correspondingly, there is a high probability that human science and technology will develop rapidly.

With a sufficient population, with advanced science and technology.

Humans will be able to exploit the universe outside the solar system on a large scale.

Then humanity will become a true interstellar race.

Humanity will not be wiped out because of some small accident.

Of course, this is from the perspective of all mankind.

But the reality is that the ethical aspect must be taken into account.

The reason why people are human beings is that they take these ethical issues into account.

"There really needs to be encouragement." Su Zhe thought for a while and said, "We should not only start from these aspects, but what we should do most is publicity, we must do all-round publicity, let young people know the importance of having children, and let them have children willingly." ”

Social atmosphere, public opinion.

In fact, these can be consciously guided.

Fan Xiaoming smiled, nodded and said, "En!" Now everyone's opinion is the same, starting with publicity, so that everyone knows the importance of having children. ”

The two chatted about the topics discussed at the meeting.

Soon, the flying car carried Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming to the Sanmen base in the Tamu Gobi.

The flying car circled over the Sanmen base.

Unlike what they had seen before, the beam generator and light energy collector in the center of the Sanmen base were fully completed.

It is in a pending state.

At the same time, a large number of flying saucers of various types were parked at the Sanmen base.

After the two of them circled over the Sanmen base, the flying car stopped in front of the main aerospace building.

At this time, there are many people standing in front of the main aerospace building.

There are teachers and students from major universities, as well as personnel from research institutes, enterprises and other related institutions.

After Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming got out of the car, the first thing they saw was Ning Changsheng, Ning Qiaoqiao, Bao Zhengyi, Si Wenbo and other familiar people.

As for Xu Zhengping, the principal of the school, and the deans of various colleges, these people are all there.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming both greeted each other.

Together with everyone, we came to the control hall on the top floor of the main aerospace building.

Today is the day of full testing and acceptance of the Sanmen program.

Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming will witness the arrival of this moment with everyone.

At this time, the large screen in the control hall shows the five solar energy collection stations and two light energy transmission stations flying to their destinations.

At the same time, the large screen also shows the solar energy collection station and the light energy transmission station that have been working for a while.

As well as a spaceport in geosynchronous orbit and a three-gate base on the ground.

There were more than 300 people with Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming.

These people sat in the visiting area, talking in whispers.

"The development of science and technology is so fast, it has only been a year, and earth-shaking changes have taken place, a thousand kilometers per second! It wasn't possible before. ”

"The completion of the three-door plan this time also indicates that our development of the solar system has officially begun, the development of the moon, the development of Mars, and the development of the entire solar system, which is exciting to think about."

"The diameter of the beam channel of the Sanmen project is 500 meters, and the beam channel to the moon can also be changed to a diameter of 500 meters, so we can speed up the delivery of materials."

……

Around Su Zhe, the principal Xu Zhengping sat on one side, and Ning Qiaoqiao sat on the other.

On the other side of the principal sat Fan Xiaoming.

Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping, and Fan Xiaoming chatted about preparations for landing on Mars.

After the completion of the Sanmen program, the Mars landing program is about to begin.

Initially, a large amount of supplies will be transported to Mars through the newly built beam channels, especially between the Earth and the Moon.

Sending supplies is the first step.

Among the materials transported, there are a total of 30,000 people who landed on Mars for a month's living supplies.

Then there is the material for the construction of a permanent base on Mars, and the material for the spaceport in the orbit of Mars.

Finally, there are 90,000 remotely controlled humanoid robots.

Yes, compared to the previous Mars landing plan, the current one has changed.

This time the landing on Mars is planned.

The number of them went from 10,000 to 30,000.

Originally, it was only planned to build a permanent base on Mars, and then build a beam channel generator in Martian orbit.

Now the plan has changed, adding 20,000 people, a spaceport will be built in orbit around Mars.

To talk about the difference between a beam channel generator and a spaceport.

The spaceport is a collection of beam generators that also have other functions.

Xu Zhengping looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming left and right, and said with a smile: "It's now, in the past, who dared to send so many supplies and 30,000 people to Mars in such a short period of time, I can't imagine it." ”

A year ago, landing on Mars was a distant dream.

The people of the world are still thinking about how to land on the moon and build a base on the moon.

Some countries have landed on the moon, but that was in the past.

They are also worried about how to land on the moon, after all, rockets happen from time to time.

As for landing on Mars, some companies come up with it every day.

No country has an overt plan to land on Mars.

And domestically, there is a plan for a lunar landing and a plan to build a base on the moon.

But there are a lot of technical difficulties.

As a member of the lunar landing program, he was well aware of the difficulty of landing on the moon with a rocket.

But just one year later, everything has changed.

After the successful development of the simplified heavy photonic aerospace engine, the spacecraft powered by rockets was basically abandoned.

The moon landing has been achieved, a huge permanent base has been built on the moon, and the moon is to be fully developed.

Build eleven industrial cities on the moon.

Landing on Mars is no longer a dream.

The preparations have already begun, as shown in tea.

After the completion of the Sanmen plan, the relevant materials will also start to be transported.

It is foreseeable that the development of the entire solar system is already a foregone conclusion.

"Headmaster! I asked if the heart of the school was too big. Fan Xiaoming smiled, "At the beginning, I thought about simply landing on Mars, but then it changed, I wanted to build a permanent base on Mars, I wanted to build a beam channel generator in its orbit, and now it is more direct, I want to see the spaceport." ”

When he knew that the landing on Mars plan would increase the number of 10,000 to 30,000, he knew that the principal, Xu Zhengping, was restless.

Sure enough, Principal Xu Zhengping couldn't afford to be able to make a beam channel generator with a diameter of 100 meters.

Directly to see the spaceport in geosynchronous orbit.

Crucially, the spaceports built in orbit around Mars are anything but ordinary.

It is an upgraded spaceport on the first generation of spaceports.

As the core of the fully developed solar system, Mars' spaceport is even more important than that in geosynchronous orbit.

For example, the preliminary plan for the development of the solar system discussed at the meeting, with Mars and the asteroid belt as the core.

"It's too big, we're just a little bit ahead." Xu Zhengping smiled, "After the completion of the landing on Mars program, I will devote my energy to the construction of school software and hardware and the cultivation of talents, no matter how to develop, talents are the core, we can not be blinded by the temporary glory of the past, we must grasp the thing itself." ”

"Yes! The principal is right when he says that talent is the core. Su Zhe smiled.

"Headmaster! You can rest assured that we will charge ahead, what is it to develop the solar system, we will develop other star systems, and we will let human footprints go to every part of the universe. Fan Xiaoming said excitedly.

Xu Zhengping looked at Fan Xiaoming with a smile and said: "It's too far to think about it, I think it will be safe to see the footprints of human beings walking all over the entire solar system in my lifetime, and if possible, I want to see us humans reach Proxima Centauri." ”

"Walking through the entire solar system, there is no problem at all." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile, "This process will not take a few years, and it will be achieved soon, as for going to Proxima Centauri, it is a little difficult, but it is also possible." ”

For humans to walk everywhere in the solar system.

As far as current science and technology are concerned, there is not the slightest problem.

If so, it's also a matter of time.

For the development of the entire solar system.

The research center has done this deduction.

According to the results of the deduction, that is, the initial development time is longer.

For example, the development of the Moon, the development of Mars.

Once the initial stage is passed, the speed of development of the solar system will usher in explosive development.

As deduced, it will take three years to complete the development of the Moon and Mars, and another three years will be able to complete the initial development of the entire solar system.

This is no joke.

This is the result of the participation of more than a billion people in China.

If people all over the world were involved, the development of the solar system would be much faster.

The headmaster mentioned going to Proxima Centauri, waiting for the construction of a super beam channel across the inner solar system to be completed, or the development of a true heavy photon aerospace engine.

At that time, Proxima Centauri will not be a problem.

"Everywhere in the solar system, I think I can see it, but as for exploring Proxima Centauri, it's too hard! Even if there are conditions now, it will take eight or nine years at the earliest, and at my age, it is unrealistic to want to see it. Xu Zhengping said with a smile.

His age is here, and he can't afford it.

"Headmaster! You are only a little over 60 years old, and now 90 percent of the diseases can be effectively treated, and under normal circumstances, you can live to be 120 years old, and there are still more than 50 years to live. Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Even if fifty years is not enough, we are studying ways to extend human life, let's study well, it is still possible to spend ten or twenty years to study ways to extend life, so that you can live longer, and when there are conditions, you can go to Proxima Centauri for a visit." ”

Travel to other star systems.

To be honest, it's too hard.

Its star systems are too far away from each other.

Take Proxima Centauri, which is too far away, and the distance between the two is four .2 light-years.

No, just a back and forth, it will take more than eight years.

A normal person can have several eight and a half years.

Due to the length of human life, it is difficult to explore the surrounding star systems.

However, if it can exceed the speed of light, or the human life expectancy will increase dramatically.

It is possible to explore other nearby galaxies.
