Chapter 8 Q&A (for @ House Dish Silver Meng Plus Update)
"Hurry up, put this spacesuit on." Liang Tian urged, "Take a look at Mars Fashion Week for me." β
Fang Yuan looked at the centenarian in front of him whose eyes were full of dream light.
For a while, it was a bit of a trance.
He began to wonder if his long-standing hostility towards Old Man Liang had been wrong.
Not to mention anything else, what else can an old man who is about to "ice" not confess?
Fang Yuan stretched out his hand to take the spacesuit, but he didn't mean to put it on directly.
He walked to the console, manually set up three laps around Mars, and then tried to dock with the Martian relay station.
In this way, he has enough time to review his life in the past 100 years with the chief designer of the human colonization program to Mars.
This old man is the same age of Dongfanghong No. 1.
This old man has witnessed the glorious history of China's aerospace industry for a hundred years.
Is it possible that this old man is really a respectable chief engineer of human space immigration?
"When I was a child, in the orphanage, I heard that my parents were the most proud protΓ©gΓ©s of Chief Designer Liang Tian."
Fang Yuan finally asked what he really cared about, but he didn't use the question form.
I don't know why, I just feel awkward.
"yes. Your mother's research results in the field of helium-3 energy refining have influenced the entire helium-3 energy industry on the moon to this day. Without your mother, the earth's energy resources might have been disconnected. β
After hearing these words, Fang Yuan's heart was mixed.
What Liang Tian said was the truth.
Every day on February 22, people miss Academician Dai Bingyan the most.
"Well, my mother's academic research papers back then are still the most cited."
Liang Tian responded with a relieved face: "Yes, your mother is a little genius like you, and your mother should be 15 years old when she goes to college." β
"Does Liang Lao remember it so clearly?"
"Is that not it?" Liang Tian was filled with the pride that only a teacher would have, "Didn't everyone in the orphanage tell you that your parents are my most proud protΓ©gΓ©s?" β
"My mom did have research that could change the energy industry on the moon, and she's always remembered for it. My dad didn't have that level of achievement. β
Fang Yuan was upset for Academician Fang Xinyang in his heart.
"Your father's achievements should actually be greater than your mother's, or, at least, at the same level."
Liang Tian corrected Fang Yuan's statement, and said, "Your father and mother, the two of them, are mutually successful. β
"Mutual fulfillment?" Fang Yuan didn't know why.
Liang Tian grabbed Fang Yuan's hand, patted the back of his hand lovingly, and said loudly: "Both of them, not only are they my most proud protΓ©gΓ©s, but they are also the most proud red threads. β
"In that case, why did you shut down my father's lab?"
Fang Yuan didn't like to beat around the bush.
He didn't say it before because he had already identified the facts he had heard with his own ears and felt that it was completely unnecessary.
"Shut down your dad's lab?" Liang Tian raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yuan: "Did you say me?" β
Fang Yuan looked directly into Liang Tian's eyes and responded without hesitation: "Yes." β
"Xiao Fangyuan, where did you hear this news?"
Liang Tian stretched out his hand to touch Fang Yuan's head, but Fang Yuan avoided it.
"I ......" Fang Yuan carded, "Where did you hear about it?" β
Fang Yuan didn't mention Lan Zhuyi, because it was also something completely unnecessary.
"It's not important." Liang Tian smiled, "I didn't shut down your father's lab, I just prevented you from being sent to the moon." β
Fang Yuan's eyes widened, he was really shocked at this moment.
He originally thought that if Liang Tian questioned his sources and did not admit that he had led the shutdown of the Moonland Throwing Laboratory, then he would talk about what he had heard with his own ears when he was a child.
He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and Liang Tian himself had put it together.
Shocked, Fang Yuan opened the valve of memory, and repeated the original sentence of the memory in as vicissitudes as possible: ["Don't Fang Xinyang and Dai Bingyan in front of me, as long as I am for a day, none of you will want to open the back door for this little doll and go to the moon to implant the brain group in the laboratory. βγ
This time, it was Liang Tian's turn to be surprised: "Little doll, how do you know?" β
"Wasn't I there?"
"That's ......" Liang Tian seemed to be in thought, and after a few seconds, he asked, "...... you were at that time Not even three years old, right? β
Fang Yuan responded loudly: "Just three years old." β
"You remember that way back then, huh?" Liang Tian smiled, with a hint of relief: "No wonder, the people from the Commercial Space Agency said that you are hostile to me." β
Fang Yuan didn't know that there was such a thing.
Looking back, there are no surprises.
After all, he didn't hide it in front of the staff.
His various reactions at the time were expressions like listening to it again, "No one wants to open the back door to this little doll".
In the end, he was able to be successfully selected for the Galaxy Neighbors Project, and Fang Yuan was more surprised that he felt that he had hidden enough over the years.
It was so deep that the people at the commercial space agency felt that he could not have thought of anything else.
Now that the words have been said here, Fang Yuan is more direct: "Then do you have anything to explain?" β
For so many years, the first words of the memory have always been hidden in Fang Yuan's heart.
He worked desperately hard to make himself stronger.
Whether it was wanting to go to the moon before or coming to Mars this time, it was all about making yourself better.
Having a brain group is only the first step to excellence.
Fang Yuan's ultimate goal is to have more say and be able to make decisions about his own affairs.
"Nope. That's exactly what I said, and let the people below strictly enforce it. β
I didn't deny it in person.
Liang Tian's attitude made Fang Yuan's heart a little uncomfortable: "Why are you? If you don't like the lab version of the brain, why would you want to implant it yourself? β
"What does this have to do with the brain group, little doll." Liang Tian sighed, and then patted the back of Fang Yuan's hand lovingly, "I, I don't want you to be like Liang Xinghuo." β
"Are you afraid that I am as good as her and take away the aura that belongs to the [Martian Cave]?"
As an elder, it is human nature to seek benefits for your juniors, but it is still a bit acceptable to be incompetent to this extent.
"You're already better than her, what does that have to do with whether I'm afraid or not?"
"Do you think I'm better than the Martian Cave?"
Fang Yuan himself didn't think so.
He hated Liang Tian's hypocrisy, but he didn't hate Liang Xinghuo.
Although he has no brain group and no exclusive channel, it is impossible to invite Liang Xinghuo to come over for virtual life.
Or can you learn about the [Mars Cave] and [Mars Exploration] series through other ways.
He dreamed of coming to Mars, so he would naturally be interested in Mars exploration.
"Xinghuo is just an ordinary girl, she should have a happy and beautiful life, it's all my fault."
The words of this old novel, no matter how you listen to it, are not on the same channel.
"Wrong? What's wrong? In the entire solar system, who doesn't know that the Martian Cave is the most dazzling report card of the Martian immigration program, which is better than all living beings on the earth. β
"That must be what an outsider looks like. When you see the Martian cave, you can help me say sorry to her, she must not think so. β
The more determined Liang Tian was, the more incomprehensible Fang Yuan became.
"Little doll, you know, although I was very radical from the beginning, when I designed the human Mars migration plan, I actually didn't expect it to enter the execution stage so soon."
Liang Tian didn't ask, why he was already going to the Mars relay station just now, but it had been so long and he hadn't arrived yet.
Since Fang Yuan wanted to know, he seriously told Fang Yuan about some unknown settings in the Mars immigration plan.
The lunar energy base will be formed by several countries from 2030.
But the human plan to immigrate to the extraterrestrials, whether it is the Moon or Mars, was actually launched at about the same time.
It can even be said that the Martian immigration program will start earlier.
Martian migrants are not as mature and saturated as the Moon, mainly because of distance, not of start time.
Immigrating to Mars is not a new concept, and some people have been talking about it since Liang Tian was a child.
It sounds romantic and desirable.
But when it really came to the stage of implementation, there was a lot of opposition.
One of the most important ideas is that human babies cannot survive on Mars.
Even on the premise that there is no shortage of air and food, it is still difficult.
Not only is it difficult, but there is also the possibility of genetic mutations.
Those who hold this view mainly take into account the difference in the gravitational environment of Earth and Mars.
No matter how much you modify the Martian magnetic field and atmosphere, there is no way to change the mass and gravitational force of Mars itself.
According to this view, Mars' gravitational pull is only 0.38 times that of Earth, and the descendants of human immigrants may have genetic variations due to the environment.
That is to say, Martians and earthlings, starting from their appearance, will be very different.
The upper limbs will be very thick, the lower limbs will gradually degenerate, and the height will be much taller than that of earthlings.
In short, the hard-working immigration to Mars, and in the end, all the offspring became monsters.
From a gravitational point of view, the Moon, which is only 1/6 of the Earth, is much more dangerous than Mars.
The first laboratory version of the brain group appeared on Mars instead of the moon, and the discussion about the gravitational environment is a big reason.
If it's just a scientific test base, it doesn't matter how troublesome it is, how bad it is, or what special circumstances there are.
If humans were to live in the past for a long time, it would be a different matter entirely.
Liang Tian has a different attitude towards this matter.
The physical appearance of human beings is slowly formed in the long history, and there will be no sudden huge changes because of immigration.
The earth is so big, there are so many races, and in terms of appearance, it is actually almost the same.
Changes in the gravitational environment will definitely have a great impact.
If humans live on Mars, they may age more slowly because of the small gravitational pull.
At least the sagging and sagging or something, it will certainly not be as severe as the earth.
Problems such as joints, perhaps on Mars, will also be alleviated to a great extent.
Then there is the mammalian Martian reproduction experiment, and indeed there are no sudden huge changes.
It was an extremely heated discussion in the academic circles, and at the end of the discussion, some scholars believed that other mammals were completely different from humans.
Other mammals are born to walk and run, but can humans?
If humans live alone in an environment like Mars, they may not learn to walk upright for the rest of their lives.
These discussions are not aimed at anyone, but everyone expresses their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone.
Finally, when Liang Tian designed the plan for human immigration to Mars, he added a lot of acceptance criteria.
Through standardization one by one, it has reached a level that satisfies the vast majority of scientists.
And one of these is to let a human baby born on Mars grow up to three years old alone.
At that time, these clauses were all pulled by all parties.
Those who hold opposing views have no longer expressed strong opposition because there is such a seemingly impossible "acceptance criteria for human Mars test bases".
In short, Liang Tian's original intention in designing these terms was to allow the human colonization plan to Mars to be passed.
At that time, Liang Tian didn't think about the follow-up so much.
Of course, I didn't think about making my great-granddaughter the last acceptance criterion for Martian immigrants.
The arrival of Liang Xinghuo and Liang Xinglan can be regarded as an accident.
Liang Xinghuo's mother, Zeng Ruoning, has a job at the Mars test base.
It's almost three years.
Her father, Liang Xinqu, has nothing to do with this matter.
What he did was the Moon's helium-triple energy channel.
With the development of the Mars test base, several major energy groups on the moon are wondering if they can do business on Mars.
After thinking about it, he sent Liang Xinqu, who was not the person in charge of the lunar energy channel at that time.
Liang Xinqu didn't go back to Mars for long.
The differences between lunar resources and Martian resources are too great.
The Moon's set is not easy to copy to Mars.
Liang Xinqu waved his sleeves and took nothing away.
On the contrary, it left a lot of billions......
Liang Xinqu and Zeng Ruoning were originally lovers, and they had been running for many years.
One of the two worked hard at the lunar energy base, and the other went to the Martian human test base.
I made an appointment to get married when I returned to Earth in three years.
Perhaps, the same set of precautions on Earth does not work on Mars.
Or maybe it was directly from the moon at that time, and there was no chance to take the precautions of the earth with them.
No matter what the reason is, Zeng Ruoning is pregnant anyway.
The Mars test base does not come and has to contribute ten years of breath before leaving.
But it's definitely not easy to get there.
Liang Xinqu knew that he was going to be a father on the way back.
At that time, it was more than a year to fly......
Liang Xinqu hasn't gone back yet, Liang Xinghuo and Liang Xinglan have already been born.
The whole process of Zeng Ruoning's pregnancy coincided with the fact that all the projects on the Mars test base were progressing very smoothly.
As soon as the two children fell to the ground, only one last acceptance criterion remained for the entire project.
In short, it's all sorts of coincidences.
All the plans and acceptance criteria were put forward by Liang Tian.
At that time, the overwhelming opposition was that Chief Designer Liang Tian himself said, there is no problem, there is no problem.
Well, now, at the most critical moment, there is a baby born on Mars.
At this time, if Liang Tian doesn't say a word, it means that all the ideas he insisted on before are problematic.
Moreover, if you are destined to have a baby, living alone on Mars, as the chief designer, here to give privileges to your family, and there to find a pair of volunteers from the earth to make people on Mars, it is difficult to justify.
It's not a problem to find volunteers, they are adults anyway, and they can take responsibility for their actions.
But what about the baby?
Has anyone ever asked the baby's opinion?
Even if someone asks, they will never get an answer.
In fact, when the entire Mars test team withdrew, it was not impossible to take Liang Xinghuo with him.
But in this way, the entire human colonization plan to Mars will have to be pushed back by at least ten years, and then, it may not be successful.
On one side is a newborn baby, and on the other side is the human colonization of Mars.
It's hard to say what kind of position is more right on this scale.
Chief designer Liang Tian was 78 years old at the time, and he cared more about his great-granddaughter than his academic reputation.
He was against it at the time, and he didn't care if he would become the target of public criticism.
However, when things reach a certain height, it is difficult to do everything according to one's own temperament.
If it is just his own academic reputation, or the financial loss of a big family, then as long as Liang Tian opposes it, this matter will definitely end directly.
The problem is that behind the human colonization of Mars, there is a very large number of stakeholders.
There are too many people who have devoted their lives to this plan.
These people are all idealistic, and they have been doing things that they don't think will succeed for more than ten years.
Suddenly, with the joint efforts of so many people, there was an opportunity to make the impossible possible.
At this time, Liang Tian came out to oppose it again, which was to deny everyone's efforts.
Everything that happened later was not within Liang Tian's plan.
Liang Xinqu struggled.
Zeng Ruoning cried and fainted.
In the end, things got to the point where people see them now.
Originally, the two children were going to stay, and finally brought one home.
I don't know whether to lament the irreversible development of the times, or whether to say that the time and place of Liang Xinghuo's birth are all wrong.
If it was Liang Xinghuo at this time, she must have wondered why it couldn't be Liang Xinglan who was left.
Fang Yuan didn't know that there was another Liang Xinglan, and even if he knew, this was not his main concern.
The chief designer said so much, but he never answered his doubts.
"Whether the Mars immigration plan can pass the acceptance or not, and what does it have to do with preventing me from going to the moon to implant a laboratory version of the brain computer?"
