Chapter 547

After listening to Zhang Yuan's story, after a long time, the captain sighed secretly and came up with an objection: "this plan... OK."

"The biggest question is, will the TOS agree to this risky plan? It has time limits, and there are strict restrictions on what kind of work to be completed in any time period. "

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "there's no problem in theory. Aren't we in the honeymoon of the two civilizations now? We are having a lot of scientific and technological exchanges. I believe there will be more and more cooperation in the future. The relationship will become very good in one or two hundred years, or even three or four hundred years. "

"If scheme 17 is implemented well, the project progress will be faster. The concept of cutting the project time by more than half is already the greatest benefit. "

"I believe that for the life cycle of the TOS civilization, they also want to complete this plan in a generation or two and see the birth of curvature technology with their own eyes."

"Their life span is much longer than ours. Our understanding of human beings is still superficial, and it is impossible to guess in advance. Some problems may break out in our civilization because their life span is too short."

Longevity has always been a pain point for human beings. The racial value of human species is not high in so many interstellar civilizations. Although many life extension technologies have been purchased from the trading market, the average life expectancy has been increased to 500 years.

However, there are some life prolonging technologies that cannot be used for a while and a half.

Not because of poor technology. But... Because of the existence of virtual technology, people are not afraid of death. Having a high life expectancy at once will lead to chaos within society, such as the collapse of social structures such as marriage. These costs are difficult for human beings to bear, especially at this critical juncture, there are not many opportunities for human beings to adjust slowly.

Life span is closely related to the strategic vision of a civilization, which is a great contradiction.

Zhang Yuan considered for a while and continued: "in a word, both civilizations do not want the plan to fail. This is also a consensus between the two sides, so it's no problem to talk about the plan with a little effort. Of course, we can't tell them our real intention... "

"Even members of our scientific Council can not express their true intentions. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this scheme to be adopted internally. "

"They tend to choose a more secure solution. Human nature is conservative, do not want to change, do not want to change. At this time, we need to use the fanatical atmosphere within the people to promote the promotion of this plan. "

Yes, the atmosphere among the people is indeed very fanatical. They are absolutely willing to accept some radical schemes as long as they advocate that they can shorten the project time by half.

If the high level of civilization agrees and the grass-roots level supports it, the middle-level cadres will have to give in, even if they may have great doubts in their hearts.

……

That night, the gray haired captain Ke tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The huge psychological pressure lingered in his heart and turned into an invisible mountain, which made him out of breath.

When he got up from bed, he found that it was only three o'clock in the morning.

I can't sleep anymore

Rubbed his red eyes, put on his clothes again and walked out of the room. The lights in the corridor were very dim, and only the lights in several cafes and hospitals were still flashing. Occasionally, several pedestrians hurried by, making a series of "Dong Dong" footsteps.

Collet walked into a coffee shop and ordered a cup of "debar" coffee. He tasted it a little, with a trace of sweetness in the bitterness.

This is not real coffee, but a plant of alien civilization. After grinding, it tastes a little like "coffee". It contains some antioxidant components, which can delay aging and is conducive to health.

There is no doubt that with the prosperity of the times and the progress of science, people's life has become more and more beautiful. However, with the adjustment of productivity, the prices of many things will rise in the future. The prices of necessities such as food and clothes will not change, but entertainment products and some light luxury goods will certainly become more expensive.

Staff in this area will be transferred to other posts.

Collet suddenly recalled that period of history.

When the earth times passed through three thousand years, where could we drink coffee?

Even eating a little seasoning is a luxury.

However, the original pioneers persisted.

If we cut all living resources in half now, it will inevitably lead to social chaos. Even if it is reduced by 20%, there will still be a lot of complaints.

From thrift to extravagance, from extravagance to thrift, mankind has never changed from this level... But how can we not suffer for such a long time in the future?

After a while, when I was so distracted, an acquaintance came in. It was Foreign Minister Chen mu.

He was also worried. When he saw captain Ke, he was stunned.

"Can't you sleep?"

"Yes, I fell asleep and felt a little hungry."

Both of them laughed at the same time.

After a while, a third person and a fourth person came in. They were all high-level officials, one by one with dark circles under their eyes. I don't know why they came here at the same time..

Captain Ke made a cup of coffee for these people and said with a bitter smile, "what Mr. Zhang said shocked me. This reminds me what is the purpose of our whole civilization... Is it to maintain long-term progress and vigorous vitality, or to live in ignorance and exist in the universe forever... "

"Human beings sometimes have to force themselves. Otherwise, you don't know what your potential is. "

"Level Four civilization is really not that simple."

They knew Zhang Yuan's true identity and that this extraordinary was the first captain of the Kunlun Mountain fleet. They had vigorously overthrown the oldest family system of mankind and established a "social public support system".

Now, for thousands of years, people have long adapted to the new social system, and there are no more naturally born children.

People have lost the concept of raising children by themselves.

The vigorous vitality and great mobilization ability of new human civilization are based on this system. But who can remember the overwhelming opposition at the meeting?

Now it's time to make the key choice again. At the thought of this, everyone is sweating, as if they were facing the overwhelming pressure.

The source of this pressure is not the present, but the future!

For more than a thousand years to come, future generations will spit.

Endless overtime, aging population, even working hours have to be extended. They are bound to regret this choice.

However, 1400 years later, if we really have curvature technology, future generations will be inspired by today's choice and thank our ancestors for their hard dedication.

Human beings are such creatures. As long as they bear hardships and don't eat on themselves, everything will be fine.

"Have you made up your mind?" One of the old people suddenly asked.

"Think about it. In fact, there's nothing to think about..."

The ship sighed and looked into the distance as if she had made up her mind.
