Eighty-ninth Hearing of the Planetary Defense Council of the International Joint Congress.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Chairman-in-Office addressed the Facer, urging that the Facer Luo Ji must attend the next hearing, and that refusal to attend the hearing should not be part of the Facer Plan, as the Planetary Defense Council's oversight of the Wall-Facing Program is overriding the Facer's strategic plan.

The proposal, which was unanimously adopted by all the permanent representatives, was linked to the appearance of the first wall-breaker and the suicide of Taylor the face-to-face, and the three wall-facers present also heard the overtones of the President's speech.

Hines spoke first.

He said his strategic plan for brain science-based research was still in its infancy, and he described a envisioned device as a basis for further research, which he called an analytical camera.

This equipment is based on CT tomography technology and nuclear magnetic resonance technology, but at the time of operation, all sections of the object are scanned at the same time, and the interval between each section needs to be accurate to the scale of the internal structure of brain cells and neurons, so that the number of tomographies scanned at the same time of a human brain will reach millions, and a digital model of the brain can be synthesized in the computer.

The higher technical requirement is that this kind of scanning is carried out dynamically at 24 frames per second, so the synthetic model is also dynamic, which is equivalent to taking a whole picture of the active brain into the computer at the resolution of neurons, so that the brain's thinking activity can be accurately observed, and even the activity of all neurons in the thinking process can be replayed in the computer as a whole.

Rediaz then presented the progress of his strategic plan: after five years of research, the stellar mathematical model of the super-large yield nuclear bomb is nearing completion and is undergoing overall commissioning.

Finally, Li Yang also introduced the progress of his two plans: after five years of research and implementation, the preliminary preparations for the space elevator program have been completed, and only the final manufacturing and completion are needed; The most advanced is the 3-in-1 Earth-to-Space Telescope Detection System, which has already begun to be built and is working, so it only needs to be built gradually.

Then, the PDC scientific advisory group made a report on the feasibility study of the three facers planned to be further implemented.

With regard to Hines's analytical camera, the advisory panel believes that there are no theoretical obstacles, but its technical difficulty is far beyond contemporary levels.

The technical gap between modern tomography and analytical cameras is equivalent to the gap between manual black-and-white film cameras and modern high-resolution digital cameras, and the biggest technical obstacle to analytical cameras is data processing, scanning and modeling objects the size of the human brain with neuronal precision, and the computing power required is not available in current computer technology.

With regard to the Stellar nuclear bomb model of Rediaz, the obstacles encountered were the same as Hines's plan: the current computing power was not up to scratch. After examining the part of the model that has been completed, the corresponding professional group of the advisory group believes that according to the amount of calculation of the model, it will take about 20 years to simulate the fusion process of one hundredth of a second with the highest computing power available, and the simulation in the research process needs to be carried out repeatedly, which makes the practical application of the model impossible.

The chief scientist of computer technology of the Scientific Advisory Group said: "With the development of computer technology today, the traditional integrated circuit and the computer of the von Neumann system are approaching the limit of development, and Moore's Law is about to fail.

Of course, we can also squeeze the last few drops out of the two lemons of traditional electronics and computer technology, and we believe that even with the current slowdown in the performance of giant computers, it is possible to achieve the computing power required for these two projects, but it will take time, optimistically estimated to take twenty to thirty years.

If the desired goal is reached, it will be the pinnacle of human computer technology, and it will be difficult to move forward, and with cutting-edge physics already locked by Zhizi, the once most promising new generation of computers, quantum computers, is no longer possible. ”

Regarding the two plans proposed by Li Yang, a member of the scientific advisory group said: "The preliminary preparation for the space elevator project is basically completed, and only the subsequent improvement and construction are required, and the process of completing the first space elevator will also take 20 to 30 years; The other ground-to-air surveillance system could be completed in about 50 years if all the countries of the Blue Star worked together. ”

"We have touched this wall that Tomoko erected on the path of human science." The Chairman said.

"Then we won't have anything to do in those twenty years." Hines said.

"Twenty years is just an optimistic estimate, and as a scientist, you certainly know what this cutting-edge research is all about."

"We can only hibernate and wait for a competent computer to appear." Rediaz said.

"I also decided to hibernate." Hines said.

"I haven't decided yet, and there's a plan that hasn't been put forward at the same time, so I'll stick with it for a while longer, and maybe in a year I'll hibernate too." Li Yang said.

"If so, please all three of you salute my successor in twenty years." The chairman said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the room was relaxed, and the attendees were relieved that two of the wall-facing people had decided that they were about to hibernate and the other would soon hibernate.

The appearance of the first wall-breaker and the suicide of the corresponding wall-facing person is a serious blow to the wall-facing project.

Taylor's suicide, in particular, is even more foolish, as long as he lives, the authenticity of the Quantum Fleet plan will always be a mystery, and his death is equivalent to the final confirmation of the existence of this terrible plan.

At the cost of his life, he did get himself out of the circle of the wall-facers, but the international community's doubts about the wall-facing plan also increased, and public opinion demanded that the power of the wall-facing people be further restricted.

However, in terms of the essence of the wall-facing plan, too many power restrictions will inevitably make it difficult for the wall-facing people to carry out strategic deception, and the whole plan will lose its meaning. The wall-facing plan is a brand-new leadership system that human society has never experienced, and it can only be gradually adjusted and adapted, and the hibernation of the three wall-facing people undoubtedly provides a buffer period for this adjustment and adaptation.

A few days later, in a top-secret underground structure, Ray Diaz and Hines hibernates.

……

After a period of reflection and investigation, Li Yang submitted his third plan proposal to the Planetary Defense Council of the International Joint Conference, that is, the human physique extension (enhancement) plan.

The content of the plan is very simple, if human beings enter space to fight in the future, they will inevitably face a problem, that is, the problem of physique, because the carbon-based structure of human beings makes it impossible for human beings to survive in space, and the life span is often light years in space navigation has no advantage, so Li Yang proposed to start with both mechanical and genetic aspects, by changing human genes to extend life, and increasing human external auxiliary mechanical equipment to improve the probability of human survival in the universe.

Not surprisingly, Li Yang's plan was approved, and the next step was to rely on the scientific research team to verify the possibility.

Later, after Li Yang met Luo Ji again, he told Luo Ji to let him continue to dig deep into the sociology of the universe, and chose to hibernate.
