Chapter 361: Desire for Knowledge



At the end of June 3020, Ou Qinglan led a huge project team of hundreds of thousands of people to complete the trial production of the first dark energy black hole bomb.

The results were gratifying, but there was controversy from all sides about whether to conduct a detonation test.

Chen Feng presided over the meeting. He did not speak or express his opinion, but only listened to opinions from all sides. At the same time, he talked about his experience in decision-making in the last battle, but left the decision-making power to other professionals.

The debate among the crowd was fierce.

People from all walks of life carefully analyzed and expressed their opinions at the meeting.

There are several major factors:

First, the difficulty of manufacturing a black hole bomb is much greater than that of a particle bomb, and it is expected that less than ten bombs will be completed by wartime.

The quantity is limited, and one less bomb is one less, so it must be used sparingly.

In addition, humans have another logical dilemma.

No one knows whether the black hole bomb can open the blockade of the solar dome.

If the black hole bomb can temporarily open a hole in the dome, then it is indeed possible to consider detonating it in advance and let as many Sparks and Germinal Ships as possible leave the solar system in advance.

But if it cannot, detonating the bomb in advance is naturally equivalent to exposing the human trump card.

The invaders are likely to temporarily change the strategic mode, making the direction of the war strange and uncontrollable.

For example, after the invaders arrive, they postpone the time to release the solar system barrier, wait for new reinforcements to arrive, and make plans after gathering the troops.

Or the invaders will not release the barrier at all, but will only further manipulate it at close range, and continue to compress the solar system for countless years until human civilization is squeezed to death inside.

Or the invaders will neither come in nor compress space after arriving, but will continue to release high-energy materials into the solar system, heating the environment in the solar system to an unbearable level, like stewing meat in an iron pot.

All three possible situations will make Chen Feng's efforts come to naught.

Therefore, this black hole bomb cannot be tested lightly.

Is there a chance for some people to escape in advance?

This question is destined to become an endless suspense with no answer.

All major research institutes have specialized researchers conducting long-term analysis of the solar dome, but so far, no results have been achieved.

Humans still know nothing about its force field structure, the principles of decomposing matter and energy.

Therefore, it is impossible to draw conclusions through theoretical calculations, and we can only actually detonate it to see the effect.

However, considering the potential huge risks, the meeting finally decided not to test the explosion.

"Continue to increase production capacity, stockpile more black hole bombs, and decide how to distribute them in September."

This is the final decision of the Supreme Summit. Chen Feng neither opposes nor supports it.

It's not that he is pretending to be cool, but he himself doesn't know how to do it.

On July 1, 3020, Chen Feng's genetic awakening officially exceeded 38%.

He was the first human to break through 38% of the awakening level, leading Linbu by 0.2% who had reached 37.8%.

As his awakening level continued to rise, the speed at which he benefited from the brain wave coordination resonance training finally slowed down slightly.

Chen Feng knew very well that it was not his body that had reached its limit, but the efficiency of the technology of brain wave coordination resonance training that was gradually reaching a new limit.

In the past six months or so, Chen Feng and everyone else have tried almost everything they could.

Where there is success, there is naturally failure.

The planting plan that Chen Feng valued so much has made almost no progress.

The planting plan consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Not to mention planting the first component, even a stable artificial life genome was not designed.

Initially, the most ambitious idea of ​​the project team was to use one genome to cover the entire battleship.

Later, it was found that the difficulty was too great, so we settled for the second best and divided the battleship into more than ten component modules to design genes.

Then I found that the module was too difficult, so I continued to narrow the scope and started with smaller functional units...

Now that the design plan has turned into a simple cabin structure, there is still little hope.

What's even more helpless is that the deeper they go, the more clearly the researchers realize that there is no essential difference between designing the "gene" of a screw and directly designing a complete warship.

The difficulty lies not in the seemingly redundant details of directional expression, but in creating a species of organism that did not originally exist in the solar system.

If Chen Feng had not been a staunch supporter of the project, the researchers in the planting project team would have had a mental breakdown and given up.

Establishing the project, trying, overturning, and re-establishing the project...

The planting project team has always been stumbling forward in such painful exploration.

On July 7, 3020, Chen Feng attended a phased meeting of the planting project team.

He carefully read the research schedule, saw a lot of wrong answers, and a light bulb suddenly appeared in his mind, proposing an idea that had been ignored for more than half a year.

"Since it has been proven that it is difficult to design a new life from scratch, we must respect the facts and respect nature. Why don't we try to extract wealth from the original gene pool on Earth?" "

For example, we can design battleships based on the genes of blue whales and dinosaurs, and then make some functional adjustments on the original basis. Since it is impossible to grow a power capsule directly, we can build the power capsule into every cell structure. Integrate the virus that can produce antimatter and generate electricity into the cells of biological battleships, so that every cell is a power capsule. We let the blue whale battleship swim in space."

"The same goes for other parts, such as weapon systems. We embed the genes of peacock mantis shrimps in the close-range weapon system. The genes of artillery beetles are embedded in the medium-range weapons."

"As for the small single-person aircraft, we embed it into the dragonfly..."

At this point, Chen Feng was briefly stunned.

He thought of the dragonfly fighter of the Compound Eye.

Others also responded one after another.

Everyone laughed.

So that's how it is.

Research is like this. Some seemingly simple truths that ordinary people can understand, once they get stuck in a dead end, even if the collective wisdom comes together, it is not so easy to get out.

Maybe someone has thought of the idea proposed by Chen Feng, but this person has a small task in the original direction at hand. He thought about reporting to his superiors after finishing the task at hand, but when he came to his senses, several months had passed.

It is also possible that there is already a small team developing in this direction, but due to insufficient technical capabilities and resource allocation, it has been slow to produce results.

This small team is also unable to influence the overall situation.

Group thinking is trapped in a blind spot dilemma, which is more difficult to change than individual rigid thinking.

At this time, a leader needs to stand up and forcibly pull others out of the thinking dilemma.

Chen Feng played this role.

After being inspired by his thoughts, the planting project team immediately changed direction and devoted themselves to the work of chimeric gene construction.

Chen Fengqin appointed a core project leader, Jiang Xinyi.

This long-haired girl left a deep impression on him, and she was also a master who could come up with unexpected ideas.

After the meeting, people in the virtual venue left one after another, and Dong Shan, who was in charge of assisting the host, came over.

"Chen... Chen Feng. This is what I personally think. In fact, I think what the planting project team is doing now is not very meaningful. Even if the direction you just proposed is feasible, it will take at least a few decades."

"When Sergei tried to mix the genes of various organisms such as mollusks, microorganisms, high-temperature bacteria and humans into the Dyson membrane system, he only completed a preliminary design plan. It still took many years for it to take shape. Even if we try again this time, we can't come up with a feasible plan that you can write down."

Chen Feng shook his head, "I understand what you mean. I know this is not fair to the people in this timeline."

Dong Shan shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether it is fair or not. I think it's better to let the planting project team turn to researching some new technologies that can produce results and can be taken away by you."

Chen Feng: "The easier it is to get something, the less important it is. It is not a qualitative change. Only qualitative change is truly valuable. I know it's impossible this time, but I believe it will be possible sooner or later. This time, we can figure out as much as we can, and we can remember as much as we can. Combining the efforts of countless people in each timeline, we can master this technology that should not belong to us. "

As he said, Chen Feng patted Old Dong on the shoulder again, "The more you study, the easier it is to have a mysterious fear of science, and that's you. On the contrary, people like me are very ignorant, so I dare to imagine and speculate boldly. In my opinion, the potential possessed by human beings can be called a miracle of the universe. Believe me, we can do it."

Watching Chen Feng's figure gradually disappear in the conference room, Old Dong felt mixed emotions.

He smelled something.

Although he didn't know where Chen Feng's pessimism came from, the old man knew very well that Chen Feng still didn't expect to win this time.

But the old man didn't blame Chen Feng for being conservative.

He knew very well that this might be the core concept supporting Chen Feng.

As for the cosmic miracle-level potential of human beings, Old Man Dong seemed to have realized

something. In the previous timeline of Chen Feng's memory, the understanding and application of dark energy and antimatter by humans in the 31st century were still only at the level of knowing their existence, as if they could see them from a distance, but could not really touch them.

In this timeline, we did it.

Particle bombs, Mars dynamics and dark energy black hole bombs are all very practical applications.

Chen Feng played a huge role in the transformation of these achievements, but the value of the efforts of all scientific researchers over the past thousand years cannot be denied.

It is precisely because we have identified the direction from the beginning and moved forward blindly and confidently that we were able to complete the development of the front-end technology in advance when Chen Feng arrived, and finally produce results in one fell swoop.

Thank God, the path we chose at the beginning was correct.

Because the compound eyes who have definitely reached the third level of civilization still use dark energy and antimatter as their main means.

It is incredible that as early as the 20th century, our predecessors had already seen the two major directions of antimatter and dark energy.

In addition to these two major directions, there are many other fields such as curvature flight, quantum theory and artificial intelligence.

Before he got Chen Feng's memory, Dong Shan often wondered how the wise ancients could use their brains to understand the mysteries of the deep universe when human beings had not really left the earth.

Whenever he thought of this, he would bow down in worship.

The more knowledge he had in his mind, the more he was amazed at the wisdom of the ancients.

How imaginative and unrestrained were the scientists at that time to complete such complex calculations, and still be correct.

Respecting the past and despising the present was once a derogatory term, but now it seems that the ancients are indeed worthy of respect.

The terrible potential of human beings was demonstrated in the late 19th century when people were still riding steam trains.

At that time, our ancestors were still fragile and humble growing on the earth, but their great thoughts had already soared into the universe.

Dong Shan couldn't imagine where humans would look when they reached the third level of civilization, and how they would sweep across the universe.

No wonder the compound eyes rushed up so anxiously.

Not to mention the compound eyes, any civilization with a brain would fight to the death if they discovered the earthlings.

Alas.

Dong Shan, like Chen Feng, gradually understood the position of the compound eyes.

This war seems unequal, but in fact it is a war that determines the life and death of both sides.

Dong Shan also believed in Chen Feng's judgment.

The technological direction of the compound eyes should be based on unified force and extraordinary biology, but the individual's own strength is weak.

The compound eyes' skills in using dark energy and antimatter are not at the pinnacle, and are even a bit crude.

Maybe they don't know the principles of these technologies at all, they just know that they can be used in this way, and it works well, so they do it this way.

This is the essential difference between Earthlings and compound eyes.

When people on Earth see a flame, they will subconsciously wonder why the flame is produced, what substances are consumed when the flame burns, what new substances are produced, and the energy changes during the burning process of the flame. When people on Earth look

up at the starry sky and see the stars of different colors, they will subconsciously wonder why the colors are different.

What cosmic phenomena do the different colors represent?

...

People on Earth have a terrible desire for knowledge, which is the source of their infinite potential.

We are born to understand what the universe looks like.

September 26, 3020.

War preparations have been completed.

Earth, Hanzhou.

The oath-taking ceremony was held on time.
