The End of Technology

In the office, the old man listened quietly to Li Rongchang, who was sitting opposite him with a straight posture and a serious expression, making a report.

After listening to the report, the old man happily glanced at the secretary next to him, then glanced at Li Rongchang, and then said with emotion: "Xiao Li, what you said today reminded me of Ning Jie's death seven months ago. After returning from participating in the World Congress of Mathematicians, I was asked to give a report.

It was also in this office. He was sitting where you are sitting now and told me about a short-term plan. Note that it was a short-term plan. This includes researching robots, landing on the moon, blowing up the rings of Saturn, and transforming habitable planets. Haha, I thought at the time, this kid really knows how to make people happy.

However, after sending the little guy away, I still found an opportunity to invite Mr. Gao and others to talk to me about the difficulty of landing on the moon. Oops, it sounds simple to a layman, but it's really very difficult. But I still think it’s rare for young people to have this kind of hard work. Unexpectedly, after just a short time, he really gave us hope. "

After hearing these words, Li Rongchang nodded quickly and said: "Yes, this afternoon, Ning Zi attended the meeting about this new material. Don't you know that he directly assigned tasks to our scientists? It's really impressive. I gained a lot of knowledge.”

"Oh? Tell me." The old man asked, obviously very interested.

"Um!"

Li Rongchang nodded, then put down the document in his hand and began to state: "Ning Zi said that if the spacecraft is to be launched into space, the first step is to complete the moon landing. He said that with anti-gravity materials, it is equivalent to solving most of the problems. Cosmic physical dynamics effects and power acquisition issues, but an observation point is still needed to clarify the physical transformation process of high-energy state power to promote the progress of space power technology.

At the same time, it is also necessary to immediately develop artificial photosynthetic material preparation and application technologies for extraterrestrial survival. To meet the basic material and energy needs for manned deep space exploration and long-term human extraterrestrial survival. This technology is also very important. It is the basic technology for humans to survive in outer space for a long time.

Then there are long-distance high-power unlimited energy transmission technology, and so on. However, he also said that the discovery of anti-gravity materials has allowed some projects that previously required intensive research to be abandoned. For example, using lunar soil resources to realize in-situ construction of the lunar surface. Because the previous consideration was that if we really want to build a safe and durable lunar base on the moon, we still need to rely on the resources of the moon itself.

Because if all building materials were transported up from the earth, the cost would be too high. However, the anti-gravity technology of the Earth-Moon ferry can significantly reduce transportation costs. It only requires one percent of the previous resources to transport all the needed materials.

Moreover, Ning Zi also said that his laboratory also has a complete set of solutions to the problems of precise modeling and intelligent control caused by cross-domain flight of aircraft. Including using detectors to monitor complex airflows in the planet's high-altitude atmosphere and making high-precision predictions, etc., so it is the most scientific to follow his plan. "

After listening to Li Rongchang's introduction, the old man thought for a moment and asked, "What did Gao and the others say?"

Li Rongchang smiled and replied: "Hey, everyone was probably shocked by what Ning Ju brought out, and no one had any comments. Several academicians are still staying in the laboratory, surrounding that piece of material. If you are willing to go, this means that the various testing equipment in the laboratory at the National University of Physical Education is complete enough, and everyone is working together to understand the various physical properties of new materials from multiple angles.

That is because it has not yet been determined whether this material needs to be kept confidential, and it is not convenient for Mr. Gao and others to ask students to do the work. They all operate in the laboratory in person, and in order to ensure the speed, several people have arranged a shift, twenty I guarantee that there will be someone in the laboratory within four hours, and I can’t even try to persuade you..."

The old man smiled and shook his head, raised his finger and pointed at Li Rongchang and said: "Haha, it seems that you have been swayed by Ning Zi. Then just do what he said. Since he has said that what is really important is Strong artificial intelligence technology, then it’s not a big deal to announce that we have this material, it will eventually appear in the sun.”

Li Rongchang also laughed and replied: "Okay, I will tell Mr. Gao and the others later not to call all the students. The World Astronomy High-end Forum held in Ningyuan will be held in eight days. It would be nice if the students didn't leave the laboratory. It's just that the children can't go home for reunion this year. The same goes for Ning Zi. He arranged a high-end forum on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This is because he sincerely prevents people from having a good New Year."

"Haha, I understand, I understand. I look forward to us being able to celebrate the Spring Festival on the moon in a few years."

"This, let me tell you, should actually make young people look forward to it more. When Ning Zhi can really build a base on the moon in the future, he will build a Qixi Festival theme park. On this day, lovers all over the world can apply to the moon. Having attended our Chinese Valentine’s Day also makes it easier for us to promote China’s local Valentine’s Day to the world.”

"This is a good idea. You can go talk to Ning Jue. Young people like him have more ideas. If you give them a start, there will always be big surprises. Okay, let's go here today. By the way, Ning Jue Zie is optimistic, especially after this material is released, the safety of young scientists like Ning Zhe must be taken seriously. We cannot pay too much attention to it. I will emphasize it at the next meeting."

"Well, don't worry, we are already studying new security solutions here. By the way, Ning Zi also mentioned to me that Ju Ti will open a space academy in the near future, intending to train a group of professional deep space crews, and Scientific researchers who can adapt to long-term life in outer space.”

"I don't care about these things. Just go back and supervise him. As long as he thinks it's necessary, just do it."

"OK!"

…

Yanbei University is located in Ningyuan.

After Ning Zi had a meeting in the afternoon with the big guys who came to inspect, she went directly back to the University.

Now that the material has been made public, there is little point in continuing to retreat.

Speaking of which, the current retreat is just an excuse for March to study it carefully and then come up with something substantial enough to let everyone know that this retreat is meaningful.

In fact, there is no need to retreat, but in that case it will be even harder to explain, such as why he can make things in the laboratory by staying in Ningyuan every day.

This retreat was actually quite long.

There is no other way. If we must emphasize rationality, we would probably rather be locked up in a laboratory and not go out for ten or eight years.

Fortunately, there is the almost universal reason of laboratory coincidence, and the March test records are watertight, which can solve the confusion of these big guys to the greatest extent, and this is enough.

Of course, in addition to being able to see the people you miss right away when you return to Taipei University, you can also discuss important things with people.

…

At this time, in the Ningyuan canteen, Ning Ji and his wife were treating Chen Yonggang to dinner.

The school has started its winter vacation, but Ningyuan is still lively. Because we have to prepare for the first large-scale academic event held here, there are more people in the cafeteria than usual. From this point, we can also see that the school attaches great importance to Ningyuan and this meeting.

But this is what it should be. The changes that Ning Zi brought to the University are there. Moreover, this is also the first time that the National Sports University has undertaken such a world-wide high-end academic forum. It is also a new challenge for the whole school and cannot be overemphasized. After all, the spirit of the students is different now. They have to compete with the two schools next to them, so they are naturally very motivated.

Tim Cook should have been invited to this meal. After all, it is not easy for people to fly thousands of miles to China. However, Ning Zi did not say yesterday that he would come out of the laboratory today, and after the Apple CEO confirmed that he would stay in China for nearly two weeks, he simply changed his itinerary and flew directly to inspect Apple's production base in China and visit Apple in China. The supplier of China is not in the capital at this time.

It is said that Apple is preparing to increase its order volume in China, and this time it is planning to inspect some new suppliers and include them in Apple's supply channels.

There is no need to distinguish between true and false. The moment this news is released, the Apple CEO can live a very comfortable life in China, and there is indeed no shortage of Ning Zi.

After all, Apple is the most well-known wealthy man in the world. Not to mention the hard assets, the cash reserves alone are worth hundreds of billions of dollars. A top wealthy man with just a little bit of leakage can double the performance of many companies. Therefore, people welcome this old man wherever he goes. Not to mention that being included as a supplier to Apple is already synonymous with quality.

So Ning Zi is not worried that Tim Cook will be bored during this period. Ning Zi also knows that the news must be true, or even if it is false, there is a high probability that he will change his mind after this meeting. .

In the future space age, truly high-end mobile phones will probably depend on whether they can be used normally on the moon. The support of the Huaxia relay system will probably be needed for a long time.

After all, the moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, and the earth is still rotating. Earth-moon communication must be completed through relay satellites.

Now, if we want to perfectly place various communication satellites in the lunar orbit and form a network to maintain the connection between the earth and the moon, we still have to rely on a space launch command center made of anti-gravity materials. After all, launching satellites directly from the earth to the lunar orbit not only involves many technical difficulties, the success rate is not high, but also the cost is too high, which is very uneconomical.

Ning Zi firmly believes that Tim Cook can understand the situation. After all, he is too smart. Ning Zi doesn't care if Apple can make more money. Killing it with a stick is not in any interest. The most important thing is a win-win situation.

But even though there were only three people at this meal, it was still very lively.

We are all acquaintances, so we can let go. Lu Xiaoya has a cheerful temperament, and Chen Yonggang is particularly good at talking, which is enough to make the dinner enjoyable. Especially today, Master Su is here. He specially prepared some home-brewed rice wine for the three of them. The alcohol content is not high. After being slightly heated, it has a strong rice aroma and a hint of sweetness. It is very refreshing.

Ning Zi, who never drank alcohol, couldn't help but drink two glasses of wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Ning Zi got down to the topic: "Principal Chen, we may be busy for a while after the new year. We need to apply for a space academy, and enrollment will begin in September next year. After the new year, the school will apply directly. I'm sure Can pass directly."

"ah?"

Chen Yonggang was stunned. The school was about to open a new major, and it was a major that he had not expected at all. It really surprised him, and he was also sad in the surprise.

The main problem is that schools are full.

Several new natural science majors have been added, and the school has begun to operate at full capacity.

Currently, the superiors are still discussing whether to expand the sports university or arrange a new campus. In fact, he prefers to develop a new campus, but the new campus will take a long time from construction to operation.

To put it bluntly, the school has developed too fast, and the current hardware can no longer keep up with the school's development speed, resulting in many problems. This has been Chen Yonggang's happiest trouble during this time.

Now Ningji has to build a new major, which is indeed a headache.

"No, Ning Zi, why don't we slow down this matter? My new campus hasn't been officially approved yet. If I open a new major, where will the students go to class?"

Ning Zi shook his head and said: "This major cannot be delayed. It is actually too late to start recruiting students next year. In the next five to eight years, we will need a lot of talents in this major. And I have already reported that this major Instead of leaving the main headquarters, a branch branch will be opened at the large scientific research base in Ping'a District, where this major is usually held for classes and training.

Moreover, the major of physical education has advantages. In the future, the majors of the Space Academy will not only require talents in scientific research, but also talents in interstellar exploration, so some majors will have higher physical fitness requirements. Just in time to open some corresponding exercise courses. Also, in the future, the National Sports University must put the study of human body adaptation into the orbit as soon as possible. This area cannot lag behind others. "

Chen Yonggang was stunned, there was another piece of information he hadn't heard.

The security level of the 10,000-mu scientific research base belonging to Tianda University in Ping'ao District is very high. According to Ning's original plan, in addition to many personal laboratories, it is also a large-scale robot experimental production and research base, and now it is about to open Space Academy…

And from what Ning Zi said, this major will be put to great use within five to eight years.

Even though Chen Yonggang was insensitive to specific scientific progress, he still had a taste of it and couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "Ning Zi, did you gain anything big from this retreat?"

Ning Zi nodded and replied: "There are indeed some gains, but Li Rongchang suggested that I don't tell anyone about it for the time being. Fortunately, it should be declassified soon, because I will show the results at the astronomy conference. By the way, When enrolling students at the Space Academy, we can guarantee that as long as they study hard and pass the exam, they can successfully graduate from our Space Academy. The school will 100% guarantee employment, and the future salary level will not be less than one million annual salaries. The school guarantees the elimination rate of the Space Academy's exams No more than 30%, these can be signed in the enrollment contract.”

"100% guarantee of employment? No less than one million annual salary? Are these conditions given to even the worst graduates?" Chen Yonggang clicked his tongue.

Really, at present, there is probably no major in any school in China that dares to impose such conditions on students upon admission.

"Well, more than that, even 30% of the eliminated ones can guarantee an employment direction with an annual salary of not less than 500,000 yuan as long as they pass a professional skills assessment in the college. However, it must also be stipulated in the contract, In the future, we are likely to have to travel to outer space frequently, and for some special positions, we may have to stay outside the earth for half a year."

"No, Ning Zi, the space academy will train astronauts in the future?"

"Inaccurate. The initial plan is to have eight different departments in the Space Academy, but most of the requirements are not as strict as those of current astronauts. Because the method of entering space in the future will be completely different from now. The work location is not just a small space station, we Building a space command and launch platform between the earth and the moon requires someone to stay and work in this large space building.

If there is a lunar base in the future, it will not be possible to rely solely on robots. Scientific researchers and maintenance personnel will be needed to stay there. Our space academy probably trains this kind of people. There are also those who are related to astronauts. After our deep space exploration series of spacecraft are produced, crew members will also need to be able to drive these ships to do various exploratory tasks, so there will be a huge talent gap. "

Chen Yonggang was stunned by these words.

He had a sense of déjà vu as if he were listening to a science fiction novel.

Indeed, there is a huge gap in this kind of talent not only in China, but also in the whole world. But the shortage is because there are simply no suitable positions.

How many people can work on the space station at one time? A few hundred people around the world would be enough. Cultivate a large number of talents in this field and provide jobs, unless...

"Ning Zi, is your discovery related to space? Will it enable us to start space exploration in a few years?"

"You'll know after the third grade junior high school forum." Ning Zi smiled and shook his head and said.

But after hearing Ning Zi's words and seeing Lu Xiaoya's pursed smile across from him, Chen Yonggang understood that he was probably right.

Ning Zi's discoveries after this retreat are most likely related to space exploration. Then thinking about the request from his superiors to keep it secret for the time being, and not even being able to tell him about it for the time being, Chen Yonggang suddenly felt like his blood was boiling.

This reminded him of Ning Zi's bold words when he asked him to build Ningyuan.

"This will be the center of global technology in the future."

So he swallowed subconsciously and changed his approach: "Ning Zi, after the astronomy forum in the third grade of junior high school, is the world going to be crazy again?"

Ning Zi thought for a while, then nodded with certainty and said: "Well, it's not just crazy for a while, because it involves some cognitive things, it will promote some current theoretical systems, and for ordinary people ...Maybe it feels very magical, right? There may be a feeling that magic shines into reality."

"Does magic shine into reality?" Chen Yonggang slowly savored these words in his heart. For a moment, he felt that he might be looking forward to the arrival of this astronomy forum more than Tim Cook...
