What Li Zhendong said is right. After all, human beings are a kind of social creatures. The gradual decrease of the same kind is like the gradual withering of leaves on a big tree. The rest of the leaves will also have a similar sense of uneasiness.

Even Zhang Yuan has a similar idea. Seeing his friends fall asleep one by one always gives him the illusion of being abandoned by the times.

Once when he was eating in the canteen, he suddenly found that he was the only one in the canteen, except for the tired robot.

That kind of lonely feeling, let him do not know how to describe, also can only be in a daze for a while, and then put down the hands of chopsticks.

There's no appetite to eat anything.

When the sober population fell below 10000, basically, all the functions that should be closed, including most laboratories and industrial areas, were closed, and only the most basic survival needs were retained.

All the people were merged into area a, and the popularity of the merger made the surrounding atmosphere a little more lively

everyone was assigned to a small house hanging on a large centrifugal wheel, similar to Europa's house. At 11 o'clock at night, the ferris wheel will rotate to simulate the earth's gravity.

The rotation speed of the earth age's large circular living area will be reduced to one twentieth of the standard speed, and it will only rotate more than one circle in half an hour.

The decrease of angular velocity means that the simulated equivalent gravity is only 0.22 times that of the earth.

There is no way. Without any machinery, it can work normally in space for 3000 years. If the central bearing of the earth age is worn too seriously and fails, it can't be repaired by the personnel in the spacecraft alone.

Only in this way can we survive a long time.

In addition to the new tasks of nuclear power plant, Zhang Yuan's spare time learning task is responsible for turbulence monitoring of nuclear fusion engine.

In fact, it is a very boring and idle thing. It has been more than 30 years since the birth of the second generation engine. The control method has been very perfect for a long time. Usually, there will not be too much error.

And he himself does not want to continue to study turbulence.

In other words, even he himself feels that there is no way to make better and stronger results in this field.

It's brother Zhao next door. In his spare time, he has been reading younger comics. It's amazing. Maybe his wife and the girls in the lab hibernate, exposing his true nature.

It turns out that elder martial brother Zhao is such a sullen person.

"Zhang Yuan." In the middle of doing nothing, elder martial brother Zhao suddenly said: "there is no need for scientific research in the spaceship. To relax, really relax, otherwise such a small population may be depressed. My copy of the pirate king is still a genuine cartoon. Would you like to have a look at it? "

Zhang Yuandao: "learning makes me happy."

"Cough," elder martial brother Zhao immediately resumed his seriousness: "I also think that this work is too simple for you. Maybe you can do some more difficult work. I have four directions to recommend to you... "

"Four directions?"

"First, the new industrial standard design, some very trivial and complex mathematical calculations, if you want, you can go to academician Ding to take some tasks."

"Second, learn something about the spacecraft control system. I believe that the Scientific Committee will give you more authority. Of course, the more people who know about spacecraft control engineering, the better. It's more convenient to take turns during hibernation. "

"Third, write some doctoral theses and get a doctorate. Your present level of knowledge has reached the level of doctor in theory, but you can't do without a thesis. With all the labs closed, I suggest you switch to science and do some work in mathematics or new civilization history. "

Elder martial brother Zhao said: "especially the history of new civilization, if you are interested in this subject, you can consider self-study Well This school is actually quite interesting. The Council of science also intends to take you in... "

"New civilization school?" Zhang Yuan has never been interested in politics. "I don't have any political beliefs, can I join this school?"

Zhao Qingfeng raised his head and looked at him: "you know, it's a little different from the usual. The new civilization school is a cosmosociology that pursues truth and logic. It doesn't have too complicated and rigid political ideas. Otherwise, it would have been closed down by the ruling class on earth for a long time..."

Zhang Yuan Leng Leng, as if it is true.

However, he still has one thing to say. Why does he say that his idea is truth?

Sure enough, elder martial brother Zhao said with a smile: "as I said a few days ago, the core content of the new civilization school is pure mathematics. I don't know if mathematics is the ultimate truth, but it may be the closest thing to truth. "

"We generate the whole civilization decision through calculation, and the decision probability is the global optimal solution, not the local optimal solution. It will not be the case that it is very suitable at present and will be very bad in the future.""This kind of decision-making can't be compared with a certain leader who slaps his head and comes up with a self righteous way..."

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and then doubted: "a civilized decision-making is subject to calculation. Of course, your idea is very good. Even the ruling class doesn't need it."

"But how should it be calculated? How to ensure the accuracy of the algorithm? Calculation is also given by people. How to guarantee the fairness of people? Can artificial intelligence be used to generate customer service decisions? "

"I think it's hard for ordinary people to accept that fate should be given to algorithms and calculations. They will doubt and dislike this kind of controlled behavior. Human beings can be ruled by other people, but they can't be ruled by artificial intelligence... "

"Yes, you're right. These are all problems. "

Elder martial brother Zhao shook his head and sighed: "human beings are arrogant creatures. They always think that they can hold the throat of fate. Unfortunately, 99% can't. This is really the biggest obstacle. "

He asked a question again, "how many colonial spaceships similar to the earth age can earth civilization launch in the next few hundred years?"

Zhang Yuan thought, "maybe one or two, or three or four, all possible."

Elder martial brother Zhao gave a mysterious smile and stretched out a finger: "66.23% probability, one ship."

"The remaining probability is zero. There is no other possibility."

Zhang Yuan was slightly surprised. Seeing elder martial brother Zhao's expression, he was not joking.

He thought for a few seconds and asked, "how do you calculate the probability?"

Elder martial brother Zhao said: "through a complex function system in the history of new civilization..."
