"... is it too bold to ask such a question?"
In the central conference room, a group of senior officials are discussing the enrollment plan.
University, as a talent training and scientific research institution, is the top priority of a civilization.
If you want to restart civilization, you can't do without technology and talents.
Moreover, the universities in the spacecraft have high authority, such as laboratory allocation, resource allocation and so on. This batch of graduate students is not only for scientific research, but also a large part of them have to be trained in the direction of spacecraft management.
After all, the spaceship is too big. After most people go into hibernation, every awake graduate student must have the ability to take charge of his own affairs.
"They have to know what they should know... However, some things still have to be done step by step."
"I think so..."
Listening to your comments, Ma Jian sighed and said in a deep voice: "everyone, don't be limited to the inherent thinking..."
"We are already a new civilization. We have to make some new changes instead of continuing the old ways of the past and becoming a civilization like the earth... Otherwise, what is the significance of this trip to the stars?"
"Professor Lin, what do you think?"
A middle-aged man sitting next to captain Ma, named Lin Fangzheng, was a mathematician three years ago and is now a historian of new civilization.
Mathematicians do the decision-making level of the whole civilization, which is a little incredible in any country. Mathematicians at best have a say in economics, but here in the new civilization, it is easy to happen.
The new civilization school has an important view that its past experience will have a far-reaching impact on the ideology behind, so they are at a key 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 new management discipline, trying to deduce the trend of civilization through mathematical modeling.
Professor Lin Fangzheng sighed and said, "the captain is right. We have only such a small population. We are in the infant stage of civilization. It will be easier to make major changes. Before the whole civilization takes shape, let's think more and take on more responsibilities. "
Another person around asked, "what's the result of the calculation?"
Lin Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "this exam has a high probability of being a positive event, which is the same as the inherent experience."
However, the current history of new civilization is still too incomplete to deduce the complex historical trend. We can only estimate the possibility of several large probabilities. "
"We need more sample information to improve this new discipline as much as possible. Moreover, the current mathematical model is too rough, and I think it is far from refined. We also need more talents to participate in it... "
Everyone was lost in thought.
This interstellar migration is a new social practice. Different from the previous set of management modes of socialism or capitalism, the whole civilization will take a completely different road.
It has been more than 100 years since the new civilization school was founded by Professor Qi Yuanshan, the "father of nuclear fusion". Its core idea is to try to plan the future trend of the whole civilization through the history of new civilization, that is, "calculation".
Therefore, the highest authority of the whole spacecraft is the Scientific Council. Of course, under the condition that the current computing power is far from sufficient, it still needs to be combined with some previous political wisdom to manage the whole spacecraft well.
For a civilization, science is equivalent to external skill, and the internal system and cultural system are the more important internal skill. Therefore, the task of their management is very heavy, and a lot of things need to be rebuilt.
There are even many ultimate goals, which are completely different from the current earth civilization. For a moment and a half, they are in the state of crossing the river by touching the stone. Everyone doesn't know how to go.
Captain Ma sighed slightly.
The first group of management has less hibernation time, and they probably wither in this vast star field and can't see the future parent star.
Therefore, we should also consider the cultivation of successors. In such a small society, if the high level takes the lead in corruption, this cultural phenomenon will spread to the bottom population at an alarming rate and can no longer be corrected.
Therefore, the cultivation of successors is very important and must be careful.
He looked out of the dim window and felt inexplicably uneasy. What was the end of the road was unknown.
How to transition from the current system to a more perfect system is also unknown.
"Let's do this for the time being. All the enrollment work will bother everyone. Break up! "
Everyone stood up and left the meeting room.
Before leaving, Captain Ma sorted out all kinds of information on the table, including some test papers.
About the legend of aliens, "Phoenix light incident", the true and false have long been scattered in the vortex of history.
He didn't know whether the whole incident was true or false, just as a possibility.
Whether alien civilization has visited the earth is actually quite important, which is regarded as an important proposition in cosmic sociology.
If this event is false, naturally there is nothing to say, just a rumor.
If this event is true, then
In the vast universe, an alien spacecraft shuttled hundreds of thousands of light-years to the earth without causing too many waves, and then left.
Just left some human witnesses and all kinds of rumors.
What does it mean?
Is the whole process a bit like a human driving a car through the African grassland.
For a group of lions who see cars and point at cars on the African grassland, humans don't care and won't pay attention, even if these lions are the strongest kings on the African grassland.
There is no lack of matter in the universe, and science will inevitably become more and more difficult in the later stage of development, so what is missing is information. Then, if alien spacecraft really came to the earth, why didn't they communicate with humans?
Because it's not necessary.
In the 20th century, mankind did not even have controllable nuclear fusion, and there was no technology at all.
Nuclear bomb? Aircraft carrier? Supersonic fighter?
Don't be kidding. For spaceships that can travel light years, these are just toys.
Therefore, the human civilization at that time, in the eyes of alien civilization, was probably just a mediocre civilization without any significance of communication.
No matter how powerful the lion is, it is just one of countless animals in the grassland. It is not fundamentally different from elephants, baboons, hyenas and ants on the ground.
Thinking of this, Captain Ma looked out of the window.
300 years later, mankind has been countless times stronger than before, and has even got rid of the threat of energy, but it is likely that it is still just a mediocre civilization.
A slightly stronger mediocre civilization
As for another question on the test paper, the debate between science and ethics
He smiled in his heart. If he didn't crush the ethics and morality of the past, where would he talk about a stronger civilization?
