Chen Feng decided to adopt Ryan's proposal and approved him to step down from the position of dean of Xingfeng Academy of Sciences and concentrate on the original concept design of the space transportation network.
With the general level of theoretical knowledge in 2100, it is actually impossible for Ryan to design a space transportation network.
He shouldn't even have this idea. At most, he could write such a huge project in his fantasy from the perspective of a science fiction writer like Liu Card, and he shouldn't have the "unreasonable idea" of trying to build a theoretical framework. However
, Ryan is one of the founders of Salvation and Chen Feng's closest comrade-in-arms.
Chen Feng gave Ryan too much future scientific knowledge.
From the contents of the Millennium Project, to Chen Feng's insights into different civilizations in the Orion Arm as a doctor of cosmology, to various monographs on biology, triple space, and unified force written by scientists from Fredes, the Shadow Academy of Science, and the Human Resistance Alliance, as well as two pages of paper containing the Grand Unified Formula.
More than 90% of them are things that are completely impossible to achieve in 2200.
The wonder of pure theoretical research is that ideas can go ahead of feet and go a long way.
Although Ryan cannot practice and verify, he has the "future truth" told by Chen Feng, so he doesn't have to lock his mind in this logical dilemma of whether it is right or wrong.
After eighty years of long learning, Ryan absorbed almost 80% of the knowledge that Chen Feng gave him with terrifying efficiency.
Even if he only knew the results of many things but not the reasons, he could still integrate them in his mind and put them to use.
The space transportation network he proposed was originally derived from the concept of the space ladder that Freders had described.
It's just that Freders had never experienced the humbleness of human beings in the 21st century, and it was difficult for him to fully consider from the perspective of human beings in the 21st century.
Ryan can.
The fourth-generation space transportation network he proposed and the artificial wormhole ladder proposed by Xiaofu refer to the same thing. Xiaofu's theory represents the ultimate form of the transportation network.
But Xiaofu's space ladder looks beautiful, but it is too far from the needs of the 21st century.
Ryan pulled it back from the sky to the human world.
Starting to practice from now on can accumulate a lot of experience for the new human beings on how to use infinite energy more effectively and avoid waste of productivity.
Ryan believes that although the human beings in the previous timeline have made visible progress, as a new emerging force that has just reached the edge of the fourth-level civilization, they are still in the state of nouveau riche and have not been able to develop the potential of the Dyson membrane to the extreme, let alone the potential of the rapid development and application of stars.
"Our descendants shouldn't have done this last time. We can do better. We should have started the super-large experiment earlier. As long as we can achieve the goal, we should have burned a few stars for an experiment. In this way, we may be able to touch the mystery of the grand unified formula earlier."
Ryan said before leaving.
The others have not woken up yet, but Ryan is already impatient.
After Chen Feng sent Ryan away, he looked at Ryan's report.
Gene awakening degree 31.25%.
Master Chen said.
Fortunately, he didn't expand from the beginning and was very self-aware.
This kind of thing is worth throwing away if you compare it with goods, and people want to die if they compare themselves with people.
With Ryan's current level of awakening, he has shown more terrifying explosive power in science than him, a perfect galactic human with an extraordinary memory.
This is too...
Chen Feng threw his hands up.
Forget it, everyone has their own specialties, and people are different after all.
It's a pity that Ryan was born in this era.
If Ryan could meet Xiaofu in the previous timeline, what kind of sparks would the two of them collide with?
However, this is just something he can think about.
Ryan will not live to see a thousand years later, and Fredes will disappear forever.
In a sense, the fact that Ryan now has obtained some of Fredes' knowledge and integrated it into his own understanding is already a spark of thought that transcends time and space.
A long time ago, Ryan felt sad that he was born at the wrong time.
Now he no longer has this idea and is already satisfied.
That afternoon, Chen Feng asked the Destiny Community, which had gradually taken over power and was about to be upgraded to the world government, to start promoting "The Sun" to the entire civilization.
He did not introduce any particularly stupid policies to force others to listen to the song.
He just put "The Sun" on a public platform for people to listen to for free, and at the same time embedded "The Sun" in the game "The Crisis of the Compound Eye" as the background music for some scenes, and then listed it as a guidance and recommended soundtrack for art works.
Good wine needs no bush. People will know whether it is a good thing or not as soon as they hear it.
Sometimes, guidance is more effective than coercion.
Once more than 50% of people can accept something, the other 50% can't avoid it.
Chen Feng had never expected that the first place where "The Sun in the Universe" was popularized by the whole people was actually the Australian continent.
People always have two sides.
After decades of evolution, this group of people abandoned by Chen Feng finally gradually understood their situation.
They began to understand that the times outside have been moving forward, and only they were left behind.
The life of a parasite with no worries about food and drink seems very comfortable, but also very lonely.
People are most afraid of comparison. Seeing other people's lives are turbulent and respected wherever they go, they are embarrassed to tell outsiders that they are Australians even when playing online games.
If you accidentally let it slip, others will immediately express their shame to be associated with them, either explicitly or implicitly.
This has invisibly created tremendous psychological pressure on the eight billion fallen people.
In the past few decades, the number of fallen people in Australia, which originally had a population of only 1.5 billion, has unknowingly swelled to eight billion.
Although the Community of Destiny has reduced the automation equipment configuration of these people, making it slightly more difficult for them to raise offspring than ordinary people, most of these people ultimately could not escape the instinctive drive of reproduction.
A large-scale protest broke out in Australia in 2086.
These people tried to fight for a higher social status.
In just two months, the protest evolved from peaceful complaints to looting and smashing, and lasted for three years.
The final result was that the voices of protest naturally disappeared.
The United Government of various countries and the Community of Destiny did not even send a single soldier.
If they want to smash their own residences, let them smash it.
They resist the materials given by others like charity, and burn ships and planes, let them burn them.
Anyway, they do not produce anything and can only be parasites.
All their sources of survival materials are based on the delivery of charity from others.
Whoever smashes is responsible, whoever burns is responsible for putting out the fire.
The more you make trouble, the less you will get.
Three years later, a rare famine began to appear, and they finally experienced the miserable life of hunger, cold clothes and no place to live that can only be seen in history books, and then all these people's illnesses were cured without medicine.
Starting from 2089, after 11 years of recuperation, Australia has recovered slightly.
They truly realized the cruelty of the new system in the stage of rapid advancement of all civilization.
Everyone is rushing forward with all their strength, and no one will be a nanny for others anymore.
When the power of science is fully unleashed, no one can overthrow a regime by simply waving a fist.
Those who master technology and culture will have absolute power over life and death over the entire civilization.
They have no choice.
Either, they will be content to be a useless person and get used to being humble.
Otherwise, they will learn to exert their own value, even if they can only be an ordinary screw and do some boring work that artificial intelligence is not convenient to do, they must live like a human being.
Chen Feng's judgment is completely correct.
When material conditions are rich enough and people's demand for material things loses its meaning, the most important spiritual sustenance of being born as a human being is destined to become the realization of self-life value.
Unless one is born with mental disability, no one is really worthless.
In recent years, more and more Australian residents have begun to try to reintegrate into the times, but they are lagging behind too much. Adults have become accustomed to getting something for nothing, and young people have simply lacked basic scientific literacy since childhood.
Even if the world government provides free access to knowledge for these people, they usually can only watch for a few minutes before they feel sleepy and their consciousness is blurred.
Some scholars have proposed to create a direct neural connection system for these people to directly instill knowledge, or simply place information chips in their brains.
But this proposal was vetoed by Chen Feng.
At that time, Chen Feng asked, "What is the difference between such people and artificial intelligence robots? Let them continue to be human beings, maybe a phoenix will fly out of the chicken coop. I am counting on a few of them to make a comeback and give me some surprises. Now you implant chips in them, aren't you still encouraging them to get something for nothing? What's the point?"
"Instead of giving it to them, it's better to put the chip into a mechanical body, which is more useful and more willing to work hard. In addition, I have to tell you another unfortunate news, human memory cannot be tampered with by mechanical means, and it is even more impossible to directly inject information flow into it. There is no such good thing in the world."
"Similarly, the 'people' who can have their knowledge recorded like a CD are no longer people. Not now, not in five hundred years, and not in a thousand years. Unless... forget it, it's not time for you to know these things yet."
Chen Feng called a halt to this meaningless project.
Australian residents lose at every step.
Except for a few geniuses, 99.99% of people are destined to be eliminated by the times.
But the emergence of "The Sun" changed the situation and gave new hope to eight billion Australians.
They can use the focusing effect of "The Sun" on the mind to survive the most difficult and obscure entry stage, and at least become a slightly useful person.
The situation began to change, and more and more people left Australia, boarded ships flying into space, and appeared in one position after another.
They may live a little more tiring life than before, but at least they are finally qualified to step onto the official stage of civilization instead of staying in the dark corners.
From 2100 to 2110, the population of Australia dropped by 500 million.
From 2110 to 2130, the population of Australia dropped sharply to only 1 billion.
Including the birth population, a total of 12 billion people have left here.
More than 80% of the population went to the most difficult and dangerous job - Ryan's first phase of the solar system transportation network construction project.
There is no way, this group of people started too late, and they had to learn everything from scratch. They couldn't do other high-tech jobs.
Unknowingly, the time finally came to 2154.
The newly born genius among the Fallen successfully stepped onto the stage and became the general manager of the original space transportation network.
The original space transportation network was worse than the first version designed by Ryan. It failed to build an ultra-vacuum tube network, but it built an electromagnetic power cableway first, which allowed the train-like cable cars hanging on the cableway to reach a stable propulsion speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, which is one-thirtieth of the speed of light.
The never-stopping cable cars intertwined into a huge spider web in the solar system, greatly improving the material allocation capabilities of mankind and the efficiency of social operations rose sharply.
At this time, relying on the huge amount of electricity provided by the Dyson Cloud on Mercury and the help of the cableway transportation network, humans have established prosperous colonies and settlements on most of the solid planets in the solar system. There are also hundreds of thousands of space cities with a population of tens of millions orbiting around gaseous planets such as Saturn and Jupiter.
The development rate of satellites on major planets has reached more than 80%.
At this time, the mass-energy conversion technology was finally opened up by the Star Front Research Institute.
Humans have begun to produce some simple elements, such as gases, silicon, carbon and other substances.
The pressure of food and living space has been completely relieved. The total population of the entire solar system has exceeded 50 billion and is rapidly moving towards a scale of 100 billion.
In the ninth timeline, until 2300, the scale of solar civilization has never reached such a level.
In addition, the per capita gene awakening rate is about to exceed 28%.
The change is obvious.
The larger population base has brought more talents to Chen Feng. Under Chen Feng's unremitting guidance, human beings have made amazing progress in biology. In 2156, the gene awakening transformation surgery that he is very familiar with passed clinical trials.
In the middle of the 22nd century, scholars built a ladder leading to the galactic human threshold of 35% awakening.
In the following decades, the awakening of newborns began to grow by leaps and bounds.
But Chen Feng had a hard time in these decades.
He sent more and more people away step by step.
Fatty Ou ultimately failed to realize his highest dream and become the longest-lived person in the Salvation Team besides Chen Feng.
In 2156, Ou Junlang passed away.
Then it was Meng Xiaozhou, Lai En and Lu Wei.
After 2177, only Chen Feng was left in the founding team of the Salvation Team.
At this time, Chen Feng was already 181 years old in the eyes of the world.
He became the oldest person in the world.
Among all the people around him, the oldest is no more than 140 years old.
He already... has no peers.
He knew from the beginning that immortality is destined to be lonely.
But fortunately, he is not lonely. He only needs to shift all his attention to the common cause of his comrades to forget the taste of being alone, as if everyone is still by his side.
In 2187, the explosive growth of biotechnology brought him one of the most important revolutionary achievements in the history of civilization-microbial Dyson membrane.
In 2203, the first generation of Dyson membrane completed its growth and began to supply energy.
This means that the utilization of stellar energy by mankind has reached the limit of the stars, officially crossing the threshold of Level 2 civilization and rushing towards Level 3 civilization, 13 years earlier than Chen Feng expected.
A few years later, with his order, dozens of fleets equipped with curvature engines with primary space compression capabilities began to fly to dozens of special planetary systems close to the solar system in his memory.
Chen Feng even personally helped these fleets to develop a complete voyage plan.
He had "foreseen" the potential crises that the fleet would face during the long voyage.
At the same time, Chen Feng officially began to popularize the cosmological knowledge in his memory.
He also personally led a scientific research team of 50,000 people to start researching new Dyson membranes and rapid star development technology.
In the past two centuries, mankind has never encountered a bottleneck, and the pace of progress is getting faster and faster, has been accelerating, and is still getting faster and faster.
