Chapter 297 [Pilot Project, the prototype of the space fleet]
This is the biggest drastic decade in human history, and it is also the decade hailed by later generations as a major explosion in technology.
War, protest, riot, the haze of despair shrouded over human heads.
But at the same time, hope is also brewing in the disaster, and countless new technologies and new technologies have been developed and put into use.
Humans seemed to have entered the fast lane of interstellar navigation.
In March 2045, the planetary engine of the Earth Gabon was successfully ignited, verifying the feasibility of the mountain moving plan.
August 2045.
The three resolutions formally proposed by Dongda University at the United Government Conference were finally passed unanimously with the intervention of Yang An using special means.
Planetary engines rose from the ground, like mountains built by steel.
The unrest caused by large population unemployment has also been suppressed by various countries.
This is impossible. The billions of human beings have lost their jobs to survive, which greatly deteriorated the living environment.
This is not enough to be suppressed.
2046.
A emerging technology company controlled by Yang An and held by various countries suddenly appeared.
Announcements were also issued regarding the intention to build a virtual reality community, making the world a vigorous resistance, slowing down.
There is no need to wait for death to become a digital life. People can hibernate in the nutritional cabin and upload consciousness to virtual reality.
This is a great temptation for those who stretch out their despair.
Governments across the country have also announced funding for Yang'an to develop virtual reality technology and promised the first batch of experimental personnel to choose among those who have lost their jobs due to the artificial intelligence life Babata taking over the self-service construction of planetary engines.
The riot that was almost unsuppressed was eased.
In the same year, countries announced the transition from a free market economy to a material rationing system.
2048.
By live broadcasting to the world, Yang An's technology company has successfully built a virtual reality community that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
And 10,000 volunteers were recruited worldwide to participate in the six-month trial.
Experiments are made public to the world.
The experiment was a complete success, when all 10,000 people ended their virtual reality community life, successfully woke up from the dormant compartment, and answered relevant questions.
The world is in full swing.
Countless people are eager to escape from the cruel reality and enter virtual reality.
Of course, after considering it, Yang An did not choose to directly let everyone enter the virtual reality community.
But in 2049, it announced the successful development of the first virtual reality game that humans have fully committed to.
The first batch of places to be placed were 10 million, and the decision was made through lottery.
Just as Liu Peiqiang once said, reality is not beautiful at all.
After governments quickly announced the introduction and free nutrition cabins, which can provide nutrient solution for humans to sleep for a whole year, people have become increasingly looking forward to escaping from reality.
The resistance movement finally returned to normal.
But it has not stopped yet, and many people still think it is a conspiracy.
At this time, the construction of the Earth's planetary engine has been completed for 56.5%.
Spring 2050. "Major Liu Peiqiang, welcome to join the Navigator Program." At the Space Elevator No. 3, an officer stretched out his hand to the young man with a buzz cut in front of him and smiled.
Behind is a giant creature connecting space to the ground. "Thank you." Liu Peiqiang, wearing a space suit, nodded with his head raised and could see a looming mechanical spacecraft covering the sky and staying in outer space.
Space, Pilot Space Station.
Although the Ark space station crashed, it took humans only five years to build a larger Pioneer space station again.
This space station is regarded as the pioneer of mankind and the second place to continuate civilization.
The total size is equivalent to that of Shanghai. It is a giant, which can accommodate nearly 200,000 people living in it at the same time.
But this is just part of the technological explosion in the past decade.
Although it is a space station, Yang An used the technology of swallowing the world and crashing into the 10,000-meter transport ship of the Silver Blue Empire on Earth.
After upgrading and transformation, it is composed of eleven space transport ships.
The hull can also be separated when necessary.
This will be the prototype of the future Starfleet of human beings.
But with the single space station, upgraded to become a fleet of spacecraft, problems also arise.
Severe population shortage.
There are ten years of army and a hundred years of navy on earth. The navy is equivalent to a technical branch. It is more complicated to cultivate and takes longer to accumulate technology.
The same is true for the space fleet.
It takes time to train enough astronauts.
But human time is too urgent, and there are only less than eight years left before the final sailing time.
It is almost impossible to train tens of thousands of astronauts in just eight years, although countries have used virtual reality technology to train, or to have people remotely operated.
But there are still huge gaps.
Fighter pilots from all countries and experienced personnel were all recruited and may not be refused.
"Captain Han Duoduo, welcome you to join the Pilot Program."
Behind Liu Peiqiang is his wife Han Duoduo. The two of them had retired and lived their own lives, but they didn't expect that they would be Temporary recruitment.
Even though Han Duoduo is three months pregnant, he has to report it earlier. "Don't worry, my wife, they know that your situation is special and will definitely let you stay on earth."
The two of them took the identity card and entered the space elevator area.
Liu Peiqiang stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand to comfort her. "Nothing." Han Duoduo smiled gently, "It may be better to go to the space station than staying on Earth, right?"
Liu Peiqiang was silent. He looked back at the dilapidated city in the distance and said nothing.
Although various technologies have made rapid progress in the past five years and good news has been coming everywhere, the lives of ordinary people have not improved much, but are deteriorating rapidly.
Fortunately, the virtual reality community has become the pillar of ordinary people.
Although there are insufficient nutritional cabins and there are restrictions on the quota, countries have successively opened up virtual helmet purchases.
You can enter the virtual community at a limited time every day, which greatly alleviates the public's dissatisfaction.
Now everyone is gritting their teeth and supporting themselves, waiting for the virtual reality community to be fully open.
This is almost the last hope in people's hearts.
It's really possible that the city in life is almost desperate, going to space.
Just as the two walked quickly towards the base.
"Liu Peiqiang, Liu Peiqiang!"
A familiar cry came, and Liu Peiqiang turned his head and looked at it, and said in surprise, "Uncle Peng?" "Haha, I knew you kid would come here too."
Zhang Peng walked over quickly He became Yang An's assistant, so he naturally did not retire, but now he has become a major general. "Uncle Zhang~ Why do you look younger?" Han Duoduo also knew Zhang Peng. When she married Liu Peiqiang, Zhang Peng was still the parent of the man.
He would smile and say hello.
"Hahaha, I'm going against growth, I'm going against growth, the older I grow, the younger I get." Zhang Peng said happily. "Come on Uncle Peng." Liu Peiqiang was happy. He also felt that Zhang Peng had become much younger, his body was bloated and disappeared, and his face became younger. "Come on, let me tell you." Zhang Peng hesitated for a moment, pulled the two of them aside, and whispered to the two of them. "This is the latest technology, which can treat most human diseases and increase cell activity. It is currently only promoted in the military. After you two become astronauts, you can also get special vaccines. "
"Really? It can make people younger!" Han Duoduo was the first to be able to help it, and her eyes lit up. She is almost thirty years old this year. Although she is still a beautiful flower, she is still Some wrinkles, plus the fatigue of life.
"Yes, of course, you can. You probably can recover to a 20-year-old girl. Liu Peiqiang, you are so lucky." Zhang Peng shook his eyes at Liu Peiqiang happily.
The two have not seen each other for a long time.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
Liu Peiqiang also looked amazed. This is simply black technology. "Who said no?" Zhang Peng shook his head and looked a little serious, "Peiqiang, do you know why I'm waiting for you here?"
Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Zhang Peng whispered, "I am here to pick you up."
"After order? Whose order?" Liu Peiqiang became even more confused.
Zhang Peng smiled slightly and spit out a name, "Yang An."
"Yang An. Captain Yang?" Liu Peiqiang muttered for a moment, and immediately remembered that he and Han Duoduo had been at the Gabon base before. Instructors who receive astronaut training.
When he married Han Duoduo, although Yang An did not come, he also asked Zhang Peng to bring a generous gift, including some materials that were common in the past but have now become luxury goods, and there are also a large amount of material allocation rolls.
Liu Peiqiang kept remembering this incident and was secretly grateful in his heart. Unexpectedly, Zhang Peng came to accept the order from the old commander.
But then again
"Uncle Peng, why are you not as good as Team Yang?" Han Duoduo asked curiously. She also knew Yang An, even earlier than Liu Peiqiang Some.
At that time, there were eight girls in their dormitory, and six of them liked Yang An. Unfortunately, Yang An devoted himself to humanity, so how could he fall in love?
Han Duoduo is the one who is indifferent to Yang An's appearance and temperament, but the two have a close personality and are also friends.
"What's worse than anything." Zhang Peng shook his head seriously, "Stop talking, come with me, you will know when you arrive."
"It's still playing mysterious." Liu Peiqiang was hesitant After a while, he called Zhang Peng, "That Uncle Peng, there is something else."
"What?"
"Duoduo is pregnant," Liu Peiqiang lowered his voice, "I know now There is an urgent need for astronauts, but can you wait for a year? I'll wait until my wife has given birth to a baby."
"Don't worry about this. Follow me first. When you arrive, you will know that these concerns are nothing." Zhang Peng interrupted Liu Peiqiang and patted him on the shoulder.
"." Liu Peiqiang was stunned. "Okay, let's go first. Uncle Peng can't help us." Han Duoduo smiled when he held Liu Peiqiang's arm.
You can see that there are still a steady stream of buses behind you pulling people.
Soon, Liu Peiqiang was amazed at the miniature docking spaceship that Zhang Peng drove, and the three of them set off to fly towards the Pilot Space Station in outer space.
Pilot Space Station.
Inside Yang An's office. "This global call has responded to a total of 16,000 talents worthy of training, most of which are former fighter pilots, and more than 3,000 retired space station staff or have been trained at the base." "It's still too few." Yang An and Yang Rong were talking, and shook their heads when they heard this.
"There is no way. Before the fall of the Ark, all more than 2,000 carefully trained astronauts were sacrificed, which almost made the aerospace industry terminate. " Yang Rong sighed.
In just six years, no matter how much you train, astronauts are not cabbages and cannot be wholesale. "Forget it, let's just do it first. When the astronauts trained in 100,000 majors trained in virtual reality complete their studies, there is no need to worry about no one being available." Yang An said last.
Although the ignition of the Gabon planetary engine was completed, Yang An was soon appointed as the main person in charge of the Wandering Earth Program and the Monthly Program and the Pilot Space Station.
Full responsibility for the life and death of mankind.
Even decisions can be implemented without passing a coalition government resolution.
Yang An has lived up to expectations and successfully completed three plans within the time limit, and even had much more time.
"Virtual reality technology has basically matured. Although the computer processing volume is extremely large, the human brain itself is a total of unfinished supercomputers. After being connected, it can withstand powerful data flows."
Ma Zhao, who was standing beside him, also pushed his glasses and spoke.
He was a little excited, which was very rare. After all, Ma Zhao always showed his calm appearance, but this time it was different.
Once virtual reality technology is perfect, he will leave his name in history, and he will not be excited.
And the person in charge of virtual reality research is Ma Zhao. He is like watching his children grow up little by little, and there is no need to say that sense of accomplishment. "Thanks to Tu Hengyu, he proposed to use the human brain as a secondary machine to process a large amount of data." Yang An also smiled.
Humans themselves are a sophisticated instrument, and their brain utilization rate is only about 5%.
Instead of using a nutritional compartment to waste the value of the human body itself, it is better to make some use of it.
The brains of 4.5 billion people are linked together and can form a network that is enough to build the entire virtual reality world.
This solves the problem of hardware failure.
"In the next eight years, dungeons will be opened one after another, and links will be made by batch." Yang An quickly gave instructions. "Yes." Ma Zhao nodded and left.
At this moment, Babata's voice appeared.
"Hey, Yang An, Zhang Peng came with that Liu Peiqiang and his wife."
"Oh?"
Yang An looked up at the door of the office, and as the door opened, he was a horse While Zhao hurriedly walked out, two men and one woman also walked in quickly.
Except Zhang Peng.
Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo, who first stepped onto the Pilot Space Station, were like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and what they saw and heard along the way almost subverted their cognition.
The space station is not as it is in Liu Peiqiang's memory, but rather it is like a paradise that can truly accommodate human beings.
A variety of extinct animals actually appeared here.
Even Yang An's office is the core control hub of the space station, and it looks like a luxurious manor from the outside.
If you can live here, it won't matter if you're called up for the rest of your life. "I'm busy." Zhang Peng greeted happily.
Yang An stood up and smiled and nodded, "Here's coming."
Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo stood attentively, "Sir, Liu Peiqiang (Han Duoduo) came to report."
Yang An casually Returning the gift, "Welcome to the Pilot Space Station."
"Peiqiang, Duoduo, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yes." Liu Peiqiang looked up and down the office and smiled, " It's going to take five years."
Yang An nodded, "Talk about work first, and talk about life. It's very simple for me to ask you to come. How about it? Are you interested in coming to my subordinates for training?"
