Chapter 3: Discovering the New World
The United Nations and States are also not allowed to use such techniques to investigate traditional crimes, unless a case is so serious that it can only be carried out by a unanimous vote of the Permanent Representatives of the Security Council members to the United Nations, and the vote is a one-vote veto.
Going back to the safety hoop mentioned earlier, it is a smart metal hoop that automatically extends a thin needle, and the power source comes from solar energy.
The process of production, sale and destruction should be carried out under the supervision of the United Nations Health Programme and national health authorities.
The thin needle stretched out by the safety hoop is made of nanomaterials, with a diameter of microns, which is basically invisible to the naked eye, but if you put it under a microscope, you can see that it is actually a kind of machinery similar to the vertebrae of a snake, which can pierce the brain from the frontal slit of the skull without harming human tissues, and extract human memory and thinking.
In order to prevent people from dying suddenly and dissipating their souls, scientists invented such a thing as a safety band, once someone is about to die, at the moment before death, the safety band will extract and save his memories and thoughts before death, or transmit it to a satellite in the sky, and the satellite will then forward it to a server set up by the United Nations to store his so-called soul.
Also out of the protection of personal privacy, people can freely turn off the positioning and sending data functions of their insurance hoops.
There are already 20 billion people, and if this continues, even if everyone has a job, the resources of the earth still can't withstand the squandering of so many people, and there is no choice but to plan from interstellar immigration.
Through the large amount of data obtained by the FAST500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope, scientists have come to the conclusion that Proxima Centauri B has a high oxygen content in its atmosphere, a huge amount of water, rich mineral resources and other resources, and the existence of living organisms, especially the mild climate in most of the land areas on its sunny side, which is like spring all year round, and is very suitable for human habitation.
Among them, there is a continent with a very large area, which is the preferred colonization place of mankind, and human scientists named it the continent of Eden.
The continent of Eden is about twice the size of Earth's Europe, with more than 24 million square kilometers, surrounded by the sea, in an irregular oval, and has a huge semicircular depression in its northeast, forming a deep bay.
The overall topography of the continent is highest in the northwest, slightly lower in the southwest, slightly higher in the center, and lowest in the east.
To the southwest, one-sixth of the continent is a large plain full of lakes, and it was named the Plains of Origin because the human advance army landed on the eastern edge of this plain.
The Guizhou Plateau in the northwest of the continent is about the same size as the Origin Plain. It was named in honor of the key contribution of the FAST radio telescope to the exploration of Proxima Centauri b.
To the west of the central part of the continent, it is a karst landform area with an area of about 5 million square kilometers, which runs through the north and south of the continent and is of different widths and narrows, which is named the Hodkingkarst landform area.
Most of the eastern part of the continent extends to the East China Sea, and is the Great Plain of Europa, which occupies half of the mainland. As the name suggests, it was given to take care of the emotions of European scientists.
Through long-term monitoring, the researchers did not detect the regular radio waves sent or diffracted by Proxima B, which indirectly indicates that there are no intelligent beings on this planet, at least no organisms better than human beings on Earth.
So what are you waiting for, the New World Project was in full swing, and Joseph, a Nobel laureate in physics, became the deputy chief of the project because of his outstanding scientific achievements.
David's achievements in scientific research are higher than Joseph's, he is the top figure in the global biological community, and he has also made small achievements in physics and other disciplines, and at the same time, he is more respected than Joseph in the scientific community, so he became the commander-in-chief.
Under the auspices of the United Nations, countries have invested heavily in sending their top scientists to join the New World Project.
With the current degree of scientific and technological development of human beings, the fastest object launched is a cannonball fired by a giant electromagnetic cannon set up on the moon, which can reach 0.5 times the speed of light, but the projectile cannot be too large, at most the size of a baseball, and it needs to use the gravitational slingshot effect to achieve.
The gravitational slingshot uses the planet's gravitational field to accelerate the space object and throw it to the next target, that is, the planet is used as a "gravitational booster".
It is not practical to launch a high-speed manned spacecraft with a cannon, because that kind of acceleration is unbearable for any human or most animals, so it has been proposed to launch a bionic with human DNA**, and then automatically start the cloning process after reaching the destination, and then automatically inject the soul into the cloned person.
The launch base was first expanded on the moon to prepare for the installation of ten giant electromagnetic cannons.
At the same time, the study found that the "cannonball" was too large to launch a complete human bionic**, and no matter how it was tested, it could not reach the speed of light that was originally planned to be needed.
At the same time, the larger the shell, the more expensive it is to launch, and each additional gram is equivalent to an increase of millions of dollars.
And even if it takes a longer time to reach the destination, the period of pregnancy and the need to protect oneself after birth is too long, and the amount of food consumed is very large, which is indeed not safe.
Therefore, David, who is very insightful about biology, proposed to launch small "cannonballs" first, and some of the "cannonballs" can be placed in a complete mimetic marmoset that has been genetically modified and optimized to make it closer to human genetic characteristics**, and frozen embryos can be placed in it, and a small number of human bionic ** accessories and other equipment can also be scattered in other cannonballs.
According to calculations, based on the available funds, it is barely possible to manufacture and launch 5,000 "artillery shells" with a length of one meter and a diameter of 30 centimeters, as well as more than 1,000 satellite-carrying "shells" of the same size, and reach 0.3 times the speed of light.
The above-mentioned funds are still a huge amount of money raised by each of the UN member states with their own fiscal revenues for five years.
Wait for the 2,500 marmoset bionic ** built in the "cannonball" to automatically thaw the embryos on Proxima B according to the predetermined program to activate embryo development, and after the marmosets are born, the souls of the advance army members will be automatically injected into the marmosets, so that the marmosets can be used as a new force to build the first base on the Eden continent of Proxima B, assemble, activate and protect the ten human biomimetics**.
At the same time, the marmosets can rely on their strong scientific and technological strength to protect the safety of the base and do some preliminary scientific investigation and construction activities.
When the first ten humans and the humans who continue to produce them with those ten biomimetics** grow up, they can assist the marmosets in mining, refining various metals and other materials, and creating more human biomimicry** and other tools and equipment.
Although there are a large number of scientific researchers in the advance army, and the comprehensive knowledge reserve of the entire team is very large, the most powerful knowledge reserve is, of course, the digital reserve.
As a result, all of the tiny computers carried by the "cannonballs" contained a complete set of human knowledge collected by the engineering scientists of the New World.
In 1966, Professor Towe of Ohio State University in the United States
), Lux and Ray, influenced by Maccia's systematic knowledge speculative theory, classified human knowledge into four domains: "descriptive knowledge", "normative knowledge", "practical knowledge", and "formal knowledge".
Descriptive knowledge is the knowledge that describes phenomena or events, and this kind of knowledge is used to pursue and establish the facts of phenomena or events, such as physical, chemical, biological and social scientific knowledge;
Normative knowledge is the knowledge of judging the appropriateness, good or bad, beauty and ugliness of phenomena or events, and this kind of knowledge is used to pursue the values and beliefs of phenomena or events, such as philosophy, literature, art, music, etc.;
Practical knowledge is the knowledge of appropriate action and practice of phenomena or events, and this knowledge is used to pursue effective application actions, such as medical, journalism, engineering, design and education, etc., and the knowledge discussed and imparted in technical and vocational education is practical knowledge;
Formal knowledge is the knowledge that unfolds all knowledge, such as mathematics, language, and logic.
With the above-mentioned digital knowledge reserve data, the people of the new world are equivalent to bringing encyclopedias of mankind, or libraries of human civilization, so that they can build a human civilization as great as the modern earth civilization here as quickly as possible.
When the bionic ** of the new world is constantly being created and cloning new human bodies, all the marmoset advance team members can transfer their souls to the clones of their original DNA.
There was once a plan to put small robots and assemble more than ten human bionics** from these small robots.
However, in addition to the above-mentioned factors of the relatively long process of human gestation and growth, there are several factors that led to the rejection of this plan: first, the weight of the robot is much greater than that of the marmoset bionic **; The second is that there are 2,500 marmosets that only have human intelligence and can use tools with their hands, which are obviously more useful than robots, and can also carry out field scientific investigations and carry out preliminary construction with the help of machinery; Third, marmosets need much less food to grow than humans.
At the same time, many scientists and soldiers share the same idea as David and Joseph, that is, they can't wait to go to Proxima Centauri B in person and feel its charm with their bodies, even with the body of a marmoset.
The outline of the programme proposed by David and his team was finally voted on by the UN General Assembly.
Of course, the practice of injecting the souls of 2,500 advance military personnel into the marmosets, as well as some of the experiments that had been carried out before, clearly violated the relevant United Nations conventions and national laws, but it was also voted by the Permanent Assembly of each country to the United Nations.
Privately injecting human souls into genetically modified animals is still a serious crime and will be severely punished.
