Chapter 67 The History of New Civilization
"...Wouldn't it be too bold to ask questions like this?"
In the central conference room, a group of senior spacecraft executives are discussing the enrollment plan.
As a talent training and scientific research institution, universities are the top priority of a civilization.
If you want to restart civilization, it will definitely not work without technology and talents.
Moreover, universities in the spacecraft have high authority, such as the allocation of laboratories, resource allocation, etc., all have priority choices. This batch of graduate students is not only for scientific research, but also a large part of them must be trained in the direction of the spacecraft management.
After all, this spacecraft is too big. After most people enter hibernation, every conscious graduate student must have the ability to stand on his own.
"They have to know, they must know...but there are some things that need to be done step by step."
"I think this is possible..."
Listening to everyone's comments, Captain Ma sighed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't be limited to the inherent thinking..."
"We are already a new civilization, and we must produce some new changes instead of continuing the old routine of the past and becoming a civilization like the earth... Otherwise, what's the point of this starry sky journey?"
"Professor Lin, what do you think?"
A middle-aged man sitting next to Captain Horse, named Lin Fangzheng, was a mathematician three years ago and is currently a historian of new civilizations.
It is a bit incredible for mathematicians to make the entire civilization decision-making level. Mathematicians at most have a little say in the economy, but it happens easily in the new civilization here.
The New Civilization School has an important point of view. Past experiences will have a profound impact on the later ideology, so they are at a critical node in history. If you make a mistake, it will be even more difficult to correct it in the future.
Therefore, the history of new civilization is a brand new discipline of management, which attempts to deduce the direction of civilization through mathematical modeling.
Professor Lin Fangzheng sighed and said, "The captain is right. We only have this little population. We are in the infant stage of a civilization. It will be easier to make major changes. Before the entire civilization forms a fixed trend, everyone should think more and take more responsibility."
Another person around asked, "How is the calculation result?"
Lin Fangzheng thought for a while and said, "There is a relatively high probability that this exam will be a positive event, and it is the same as the inherent experience."
But the current new civilization history is still too incomplete and it is difficult to deduce the complex historical trend. We can only estimate a few high probability possibilities."
"We need more sample information to perfect this new discipline as much as possible. Moreover, the current mathematical model is too rough, and I think it is far from refined enough. We also need more talents to participate..."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
This interstellar immigration is a brand new social practice. Unlike the previous socialist or capitalist management model, the entire civilization will take a completely different path.
It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the New Civilization School by Professor Qi Yuanshan, the "father of nuclear fusion". Its core idea is to try to plan the future direction of the entire civilization through the history of new civilization, that is, "calculation".
Therefore, the highest authority of the entire spacecraft is the Science Council. Of course, in the current situation where the computing power is far from sufficient, it is still necessary to use some previous political wisdom to manage the entire spacecraft well.
For a civilization, science is equivalent to external skills, and internal systems and cultural systems are more important internal skills. Therefore, the tasks of their management team are very heavy and there are a lot of things that need to be rebuilt.
There are even many ultimate goals, which are completely different from the current earth civilization. They are in a state of feeling the stones across the river for a while, and no one knows how to go.
Captain Ma sighed slightly.
Their first group of management teams have less time to hibernate, and they are likely to wither in this vast star field and will no longer see their future home star.
Therefore, we must also consider the cultivation of successors. In such a small society, if the senior leaders take the lead in degenerating and corruption, this cultural phenomenon will spread to the lower class at an astonishing speed and will never be corrected.
Therefore, the cultivation of successors is very important and must be cautious.
He looked out the dim window, feeling inexplicably nervous, what was at the end of the road was unknown.
It is also unknown how to go from the current system to an even more perfect system.
"Let's just do this for the time being, all the enrollment work will be troubled. The meeting will be over!"
Everyone stood up and left the conference room.
Before leaving, Captain Ma sorted out various materials on the table, including some of the test papers.
The legend about aliens, the "Phoenix Light Incident", has long since dispersed in the vortex of history.
He didn't know whether the whole incident was true or false, but just treated it as a possibility.
Whether alien civilizations have visited the earth is actually quite important and is regarded as an important proposition in cosmic sociology.
If this incident is false, there is naturally nothing to say, it is just a rumor.
If this event is true, then...
In the vast universe, an alien spacecraft traveled hundreds or thousands of light years to reach the earth, but did not cause too many waves, and then left again.
It only left behind some human witnesses and various rumors.
What does it mean?
The whole process is a bit like a human being driving a car through the African grasslands?
Regarding the African grasslands, a group of lions who saw cars and pointed at them, humans don’t care and will not pay attention to them, even if these lions are the strongest kings on the African grasslands.
There is no shortage of matter in the universe, and the development of science will inevitably become more and more difficult in the later stages, so what is lacking is information. So, if the alien spacecraft really comes to Earth, why didn’t they communicate with humans?
Because it is not necessary.
In the 20th century, humans did not even have controllable nuclear fusion and did not have any outstanding technology.
Nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, supersonic fighters?
Don't joke, for a spaceship that can travel through light years, these are all just toys.
Therefore, in the eyes of alien civilizations, the human civilization at that time was probably just a mediocre civilization with no meaning of communication.
No matter how powerful a lion is, it is just one of the countless animals in the grassland, and there is no essential difference between it and elephants, baboons, hyenas and ants on the ground.
Thinking of this, Captain Ma turned his gaze out the window.
300 years have passed, and human beings have become countless times stronger than before, and have even escaped from the threat of energy, but it is very likely that they are still just a mediocre civilization.
A slightly stronger mediocre civilization
As for another question on the test paper, the debate between science and ethics...
