One of the professors suddenly said, "if the science and technology of earth civilization can make another breakthrough in the next 3000 years, with stronger artificial intelligence and automatic production lines. Maybe the industrial population we need to build a new civilization can drop a lot. "
Ding Zhaodong shook his head slightly: "we should not place our hopes on earth civilization. Even if science and technology are more developed, the population of 500000 is still too small. "
Another professor also said: "in fact, it is not necessarily. The earth's history in the next 3000 years is a good reference."
The group of professors whispered for some time.
Academician Ding turned his head and asked, "so, in view of the small population, do you accept the use of artificial uterus technology to hatch a large number of human babies? They have no father or mother, just for the continuation of the new civilization. "
Zhang Yuandao: "as far as I know, the technology of artificial uterus has not been completely mature."
"If such artificial uterine technology does appear in the future, what do you think?"
Is this... A political issue?
It's hard.
Zhang Yuan thought for a long time and couldn't find a very smooth and moderate answer.
He said honestly, "accept. If reality requires us to do so, we have no choice. "
"People are not pigs, and their fertility is extremely limited. According to the high population growth rate of 2%, it can only increase seven times in 100 years, 3.5 million people, too few."
"Because of the long-term shortage of resources, coupled with the aging and death of our first generation of high-quality population, it is enough to cause a significant retrogression in the quality of the entire civilized population. Even if artificially incubating babies will lead to various ethical problems, we have no choice. "
"The starry sky is so vast that our time is limited. Once the equipment carried on the spacecraft is aging, we have not developed substitutes, coupled with the significant retrogression in the quality of the population, our new civilization will be extinct on different planets. "
Captain Ma nodded and smiled strangely.
The atmosphere will become very quiet for a while.
Everyone is thinking about something.
Academician Ding said faintly, "well, there's nothing to ask. Go out first."
"We'll let you know the final result after we meet everyone."
"Thank you, teachers." Zhang Yuan bowed, politely came out of the room and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his head.
There are many problems that are too tricky to parry.
It's really difficult for academicians to select students... It's very difficult!
After Zhang Yuan left, the room was quiet for some time.
Captain Ma suddenly smiled and asked, "Lao Ding, is my martial nephew pretty good? If you don't accept it, I'll find another academician to accept it. "
Ding Zhaodong also smiled: "people are really good. They are very pragmatic in terms of skill level and ideology. But let's see again. If there is a more suitable candidate, I won't be partial because of human feelings. "
"Ha ha, do you really think such a genius is a bunch of Portuguese grass on the side of the road?"
"Well, let's invite the next interviewer."
……
Two days later, the interview results came out.
98 points. I don't know where to deduct two points. Maybe I didn't answer a question very well.
However, 98 points, in theory, is already a very high achievement.
The interview results accounted for 40% of the weight of the whole score. According to this calculation, Zhang Yuan estimated that he had properly ranked first in the major of "space mechanical engineering".
Being admitted by academician Ding is a certainty.
Even, affected by this matter, several well-known academicians of other majors also wanted to recruit a wave of graduate students on a whim.
The news spread to the examinee group and triggered a small storm.
"Congratulations!"
"Boss treat!"
Zhang Yuan was in a good mood and waved his big hand: "you can eat whatever you want."
"Big chicken leg! Big chicken leg! "
The cunning Li Zhendong wanted to eat the big chicken leg of a biological 3D printing organ for 100000 yuan, which scared his face green. He hurriedly said, "if you can steal chicken legs from the laboratory, I'll pay a fine."
The companions said, "in fact, this kind of thing is very normal. Other people's interviews were dismissed in ten minutes. Zhang Yuan met for an hour and didn't admit him. Who did he admit? "
"... what questions are they asking? In a while, I'm going to have an interview, although I'm just an ordinary professor. "
"The problem... Is actually quite difficult."
Zhang Yuan is seizing the time to impart his interview experience. Including those academic questions, the content is very profound. Even if you graduate from the master's degree, you may not be able to answer them. There are also various questions about culture and politics.
A few girls stuck out their tongues.
"Where is this to recruit a master? This is to recruit a doctor!"
"It is estimated that the interview of several other academicians is also so abnormal. We don't even have the qualification for the interview. We can only watch the excitement..."
"Fortunately, I only meet ordinary teachers..."
At this time, ye Kaifu hurried over from area J. he looked happy and didn't want to.
"Hahaha, Zhang Yuan, I'll tell you good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear? "
There's no bad news!
Zhang Yuan said bitterly, "good news."
"Your interview was good, your comprehensive score ranked first in this major, and you were probably admitted by academician Ding."
"Cut..."
Everyone gave a boring sigh, indicating that the news was long out of date. Are you from Zhiyuan star?
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "what's the bad news?"
Ye Kaifu gloated on his face: "someone is not satisfied and is questioning your interview results!"
What?
question?
Zhang Yuan's face doesn't matter.
It is mediocre not to be envied. Go your own way and let others say it.
"It's no small matter. You have to deal with it if you don't want to."
Zhang Yuan took Ye Kaifu's mobile phone and sent a post: "human academic, best academic?!"
A student named Cai Kun posted a post with his real name questioning the rationality of the whole interview.
His written test results ranked first in the whole "space machinery" major, but the interview result was only 60 points
"... Zhang Yuan's written test score was 2 points lower than me, but he got 98 points in the interview, 38 points higher than me! The same interview students, generally only 60 or 70 points, don't you think this is very unreasonable? "
"Later, I finally came to a possible conclusion: because Zhang Yuan's father, Professor Zhang Qiming, and academician Ding were former colleagues. Perhaps I got a high score because I was mindful of my past friendship. "
"... I left the earth just because I hated all kinds of unreasonable human and worldly sophistication. I hope to live in a more perfect and just civilization. But unexpectedly, there is still a human relationship in such an important matter as enrollment! "
"Let the capable, let the mediocre, and let the average. This is the most suitable choice for employment! If you can't even do this, why build a stronger civilization? "
"... in particular, deep space University and star University have just been established, so we should do a good job in building the style of study! We should not develop such a bad habit of taking a relationship. "
Zhang Yuan frowned when he saw it.
