The next system mission: Leap Forward Civilization is an SS-level main mission with a mission period of 15 years. Just releasing some industry-subverting technological products may not be able to meet the requirements of the system mission.
Only by inventing something that will push the civilization of the entire human society to a higher level and significantly improve the degree of civilization can it be possible to meet the requirements of the system's tasks.
Therefore, Zhou Xing's requirements for the laboratory have become extremely strict.
In terms of biology, the genes of the Dark Zerg are very worthy of study, especially their highly adaptable genetic attributes. The genes obtained from the worms have great research value. If there can be a breakthrough in this area of research, then Genetic life extension, improvement of physical fitness, biological materials... and other aspects can be greatly promoted.
In terms of electronics, the research and development of infinite sophon boxes will be carried out. Once the results of the research are obtained, Zhou Xiaozhi will be released from the virtual laboratory. At that time, real artificial intelligence will arrive. With Zhou Xiaozhi's computing power, human society will surely move towards another world with its assistance. new heights.
…
After thinking about it, Zhou Xing looked at Xie Liwu and ordered loudly: "The laboratory renovation plan will be given to you tomorrow. There is no upper limit on the construction funds. It must be achieved strictly in accordance with my requirements."
Xie Liwu's face tightened, he nodded and said, "Understood! Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xing looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Old Chen, what's your problem there?"
Chen Fan perked up and reported as if claiming credit: "Mr. Zhou, after half a year of study and training, our group has recruited nearly 3,000 intelligent language engineers and has developed more than 100 'second world' virtual applications. It has enriched the content of the virtual platform. Excluding the game users of 'War and Civilization', the daily active users of the 'Second World' virtual application have exceeded the 500 million mark, and the revenue this quarter was 26 billion..."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing showed a satisfied smile. Compared with the failure of the flying car project, the virtual platform "Second World" project is progressing rapidly. This is a huge treasure that cannot be excavated. I believe that it will not take long for the virtual network to surpass The economic scale of human interconnection.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work. However, in terms of virtual applications, our group must focus on the basics, expand influence and user volume, and don't focus on immediate benefits. We should promote more basic applications, such as virtual film and television editing, virtual application production, and virtual system development. … Wait, it involves application technology that guides the development of teaching virtual products." Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chen Fan for instructions.
"Understood, Mr. Zhou." Chen Fan nodded in understanding.
Virtual networks are now just like when the human Internet just started. Many virtual applications are not yet perfect. It is a good time to work hard. Just like those international Internet companies, the operating system has made Microsoft, and the search engine has made Google, Baidu, etc. Social networks have made Facebook... In addition to virtual games, they also need to gain special advantages in one or more fields in virtual networks.
"Xiao Xin, where is the project you are responsible for? Is there any problem?" Zhou Xing looked at Tang Xin and asked with a smile.
"It's okay here. Compared with the flying car project that Mr. Yang is responsible for and the 'Second World' that Mr. Chen is responsible for, the 'frozen' project that I'm responsible for is relatively simple." Tang Xin looked at Zhou Xing confidently , Xiaoxiaohui reported: "The output of cryogenic hibernation chambers is normal, and the failure rate is less than 0.01%. The hibernation bases are progressing smoothly. The three hibernation bases have now accepted nearly 250,000 hibernators, and are expected to receive 500,000 hibernators by the end of the year. By."
Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction. After six months of independence, Tang Xin, Yang Minghua, and Chen Fan were able to control these businesses. He no longer needed to worry about these things.
Zhou Xing looked at everyone and smiled and announced: "Very good, everyone did a good job. Next, I have two big projects to promote, and I need you to help me coordinate manpower and material resources."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, and then they looked at each other, with excited expressions on their faces, and they were very excited.
This was the Zhou Xing they knew. When setting up projects, he was always so sudden, willful, and would not give up until he shocked people to death.
Yang Minghua trembled all over, looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes, and asked: "Mr. Zhou, what field do you want to establish a project in?"
As soon as Yang Minghua finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhou Xing with keen eyes, expecting his answer.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and replied: "Biological genes, new energy."
After hearing Zhou Xing's brief reply, everyone was stunned. How could it be these two fields? They can't get in the way at all!
"Mr. Zhou, have you made breakthroughs in these two fields?" Lin Wei asked Zhou Xingdao in surprise.
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, why did you choose these two fields?" Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing in confusion.
"There has been some progress in biological genes, but it is still far from a breakthrough. As for new energy, I chose this field because it has great development prospects and potential." Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and answered with a smile.
The energy issue has always been a key issue limiting the progress of human civilization. If the energy issue can be solved, it will definitely enhance the degree of civilization.
The main channel for human society to obtain energy now is burning fossil fuels? However, this method will cause global climate warming and the social and economic costs are quite high. In addition, renewable energy cannot meet the world's energy needs due to limitations of weather and geographical environment. Therefore, environmentally friendly and? Affected by weather and climate and with stable energy supply? Which will become the main energy supply? source.
Nuclear power generation is a way to obtain clean energy. However, this technology has huge safety risks and high construction and dismantling costs. At the same time, nuclear waste is extremely radioactive and can harm humans and the environment. Its half-life is long. For thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, dealing with large amounts of nuclear waste is a very troublesome problem.
Zhou Xing has set his sights on another way to obtain clean energy, nuclear fusion reaction to generate electricity.
Nuclear fusion reaction is the source of energy for stars to glow and heat. The way its energy is generated is through gravity? Compress and heat hydrogen atoms into high density? high temperature? Plasma state, parallel progress? Nuclear fusion reaction releases energy. During the nuclear fusion reaction, part of the mass of hydrogen nuclei is converted into energy.
Nuclear fusion? Will any radioactive waste be generated? Not useless? Difficult technical and political issues, low-radioactive structural materials caused by the operation of nuclear fusion power plants? and? It needs to be sealed for a long time, so it will? It will pose a burden to the next generation. Raw materials are inexhaustible. In addition to being difficult to develop, this technology has many advantages and huge advantages.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to study two different fields at once?" Chen Fan asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.
"Yes!" Zhou Xing looked at Chen Fan, smiled and nodded.
Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while, but Zhou Xing was their boss, and besides, he had such ability, what could they say
