Deep Space Fleet

"...Is it too bold to ask such a topic?"

In the central meeting room, a group of spaceship executives are discussing the enrollment plan.

Universities, as personnel training and scientific research institutions, are the top priority of a civilization.

If you want to restart civilization, it will definitely not work without technology and talents.

Moreover, the universities in the spacecraft have very high authority, such as the allocation of laboratories, the allocation of resources, etc., all have priority. This batch of graduate students is not only for scientific research work, a large part of them have to be trained in the direction of the spacecraft management.

After all, this spaceship is too big. After most people go into hibernation, every graduate student who is awake must have the ability to be independent.

"What they should know, they have to know... However, some things still have to be done step by step."

"I think it's okay to..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Captain Ma sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't limit yourself to the inherent thinking..."

"We are already a new civilization, and there must be some new changes, instead of continuing the old ways of the past and becoming a civilization like the earth... Otherwise, what's the point 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 are at the decision-making level of the entire civilization, which is a bit inconceivable in any country. At most mathematicians have a little say in economics, but in this new civilization, it happened so easily.

The New Civilization School has an important point of view, past experience will have a profound impact on the ideology behind, so they are at a critical point in history. If you make a mistake, it will be even more difficult to correct it later.

Therefore, the history of new civilization is a brand-new management discipline, trying to deduce the direction of civilization through mathematical modeling.

Professor Lin Fangzheng sighed, and said: "The captain is right. We only have such a small population. We are in the infant stage of civilization. It will be easier to make major changes. In the formation of the entire civilization Before you set your mind, everyone should think more and take more responsibility."

Another person around asked, "How's the result of the calculation?"

Lin Fangzheng thought for a while and said, "This exam has a relatively high probability of being a positive event, which is the same as the inherent experience."

However, the current historiography of new civilizations is still too incomplete, and it is difficult to deduce a complicated historical trend, and can only estimate a few high-probability possibilities. "

"We need more sample information in order to perfect this new subject 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 in it... "

Everyone fell into deep thought.

This interstellar immigration is a brand-new social practice, which is different from the previous socialist or capitalist management models, and the entire civilization will take a completely different path.

It has been more than 100 years since the New Civilization School was founded by Professor Qi Yuanshan, the "father of nuclear fusion". .

Therefore, the highest authority of the entire spaceship is the scientific council. Of course, in the current situation where the computing power is far from sufficient, some political wisdom from the past is still needed to manage the entire spaceship well.

For a civilization, science is equivalent to external strength, and the internal system and cultural system are the more important internal strength. Therefore, the task of their management is very heavy, and there are a lot of things that need to be re-established.

There are even many ultimate goals, which are completely different from the current earth civilization. For a while, we are in a state of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and everyone does not know how to go.

Captain Ma sighed slightly.

They, the first batch of management, hibernate for less time, and they are likely to wither in this vast star field, and they will not see their future mother star.

Therefore, the training of successors must also be considered. In such a small society, if the high-level people are the first to become corrupt, this cultural phenomenon will spread to the bottom-level people at an alarming rate, and it will never be possible to correct it.

Therefore, the cultivation of successors is very important and must be cautious.

He looked out of the dim window, feeling inexplicably uneasy. It was unknown what the end of the road would be.

How to transition from the current system to a more perfect system is also unknown.

"Let's leave it like this for the time being, all the recruitment work will trouble everyone. The meeting is over!"

Everyone stood up and left the conference room.

Before leaving, Captain Ma sorted out the various materials on the table, including some of the test papers.

The legend about aliens, the "Phoenix Light Incident", has long been scattered in the vortex of history.

He didn't know whether the whole incident was true or false, he just took it as a possibility.

Whether alien civilizations have visited the earth is actually very important, and it is regarded as an important proposition in cosmic sociology.

If this incident is false, naturally there is nothing to say, it is just a rumor.

If this event is true, then...

In the vast universe, an alien spaceship traveled hundreds of thousands of light-years away, arrived at the earth, did not cause too many waves, and then left.

Only a few human witnesses and rumors remained.

what does it mean

The whole process is a bit like a human driving a car across the African grasslands.

For a group of lions on the African grasslands that saw the car and pointed at the car, human beings don't care and will not pay attention to it, even if these lions are the strongest kings on the African grassland.

There is no lack 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. Then, if the alien spacecraft really came to the earth, why did it not communicate with humans?

Because there is no need.

Human beings in the 20th century didn't even have controllable nuclear fusion, and they didn't have any available technology at all.

Nuke? aircraft carrier? Supersonic fighter?

No kidding, these are all toys for a light-year-traveling spaceship.

Therefore, in the eyes of alien civilizations, the human civilization at that time was probably just a mediocre civilization without any meaning of communication.

No matter how powerful a lion is, it is just one of the countless animals in the grassland, and it is not fundamentally different from elephants, baboons, hyenas, and ants on the ground.

Thinking of this, Captain Ma turned his gaze out of the window.

300 years have passed, and human beings have become countless times stronger than before, and have even gotten rid of the threat of energy, but it is very likely that they are still just a mediocre civilization.

A slightly more powerful mediocre civilization

As for another question on the test paper, the debate between science and ethics...

He smiled slightly in his heart. If the past ethics and morals are not crushed, how can there be a stronger civilization?
