The Human City Colony can be said to be the largest and most historic project of this century. The five major countries have invested nearly 300 billion in this project, and Stellar Technology is responsible for the technical aspects. Although no one knows how much the profit will be. But they can think of it, Stellar Technology has definitely made a lot of money.
According to the announcement jointly issued by Stellar Technology and the five major countries, more than 10 million people filled out the volunteer application form within one day. Although most of them were low-level technical professionals, there were also many valuable researchers, even those who were called Stephen William Hawking, the modern Einstein, also filled out a volunteer form and publicly declared that he hoped to become the first colonists in human history and contribute to the progress of mankind.
As for the territorial division of colonies, it is a mystery in the minds of countless people. After all, no matter how powerful Stellar Technology is, those colonies cannot become the private territory of Stellar Technology. As a company, Stellar Technology has no use for these territories, so the outside world Many people have speculated that these territories may be jointly managed by the five major powers, and a parliament similar to the Security Council will be formed in the colonies.
In fact, although this guess is outrageous, it is extremely close to the truth. Under Zhang Heng's supervision, the five major countries have begun to try to enter the integration stage, and the existence of colonies is a catalyst for the integration of the five major countries. If there are no accidents, in In the next six months, the military institutions of the five major countries will first integrate to form a highly cohesive group with shared technology.
As for the integration of internal affairs, I am afraid it will be slower. After all, internal affairs are far more complicated than the military. The national conditions of each country are different. If there is no external interference, the most likely formation is a federal institution. However, there is no need to rush this point. Zhang Heng will not and is unwilling to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries. Only when the curse really comes in the future will it be an opportunity to promote further integration of the internal affairs of various countries.
However, the series of actions of the five major countries still made countless politicians with a keen sense of smell feel that something was wrong. However, due to lack of technology, they could only watch the five major countries and Stellar Technology engage in extraterrestrial colonization. In order to catch up with Riding on this trend, many countries have sent representatives to contact the five major powers, hoping to get a share of the upcoming colonial craze in the future. This is exactly what Zhang Heng wants, and Zhang Heng can be said to be a comer. If they refuse, as long as they are willing to contribute money and resources, they can join the colonization plan jointly carried out by the five major countries and send their talents to outer space.
Since the plan to colonize outer space was launched, the tensions that have existed in the world over resources and land for hundreds of years have been relieved invisibly, and everyone is enjoying themselves. After all, outer space has unlimited opportunities and unlimited resources. After having a channel for catharsis, no one is willing to conflict over the limited one-third of an acre of the earth. According to a current buzzword: Our goal is the stars. The sea!
At this time, Stellar Technology has not stopped its development because of the colonial plan, and the time has come for automated surgical equipment to be promoted for civilian use. However, the birth of this technology is nothing less than a major change in the medical field. It is inevitable that It will cause shock and rebound in the medical sciences of various countries.
Therefore, Zhang Heng does not intend to come up with a fully functional automated surgical machine from the beginning. He plans to take over from the most complex areas. He will first launch a semi-automatic surgical instrument with nervous system repair, starting with those surgeries that surgeons cannot perform. , and then slowly let the world accept this technology, and finally launched fully automatic surgical instruments to replace the work of all surgeons.
The advantage of this is that it can suppress the backlash of the change to a minimum, gradually freeing doctors and nurses from the highly strenuous labor force without completely losing their jobs. This model of Stellar Technology is just like Apple releasing mobile phones with similar performance but different models. It can obtain greater benefits in batches. It can be said to be a win-win situation.
Everything is developing in the most perfect direction envisioned by Zhang Heng...
In the radiation plane, which is separated by several barriers from the real world, a huge space observatory was also built quietly. Rows of radio telescopes with an area of more than thousands of square meters have been set up. Their target is the northwest position in the sky, like giant sunflowers, staring at the sky.
With the power that Zhang Heng has established here, although Zhang Heng's control over this plane is far inferior to that of the real world and the deep space amnesia plane, it is still considered a very important stronghold, just because of the terrifying neutrino in the center of the area. Life - The existence of Cthulhu, Zhang Heng had to reluctantly give up here. However, due to strategic reasons, Zhang Heng still did not give up completely. He just evacuated all scientific research projects and clone legions. More than ten people are still stationed here. Thousands of synthetics and hundreds of thousands of T-800 robots serve as defense forces
At this time, in this temporary space observation station, Zhang Heng was leading a group of scientists from the deep space amnesia plane who were busy frequently. This time, he was about to conduct an experiment that was more dangerous than memes. It was precisely because There was a danger of destruction, so he set up the experiment site in the radiation plane.
And the name of this experiment is—subspace navigation experiment!
At this moment, Zhang Heng stood quietly on the spot, ready to communicate with the dimensional star at any time and lead hundreds of scientists here to escape from the plane. Each of these scientists is the top existence. Even if only one person is lost, it is enough for Zhang Heng. Heartache.
And far away in the earth's synchronous orbit, a spacecraft somewhat similar to the Pangu is floating quietly in the endless deep space of the universe. This is a modified spacecraft, but at this time there is no life on the spacecraft. , with only hundreds of synths acting as pilots.
In the center of the spacecraft, in addition to the anti-gravity engine and nuclear reactor, there is also a mechanical equipment that ordinary people cannot understand. It is a three-meter-diameter strong magnetic ring with three annular strong magnetic field generating devices. In the center of the magnetic ring is a black sphere with a strange shape and full of complex patterns!
This is the most high-tech product of mankind that Zhang Heng obtained from the surface plane of the black hole—the jump engine! It is this piece of equipment that gives the spacecraft the ability to navigate into subspace, and according to the plot on the surface of the black hole, this technology is completely successful. As for the reason for the destruction of human beings, it is just because humans did not expect that in subspace It actually hid countless dangers.
However, this is not the reason for Zhang Heng to give up this cutting-edge technology. The universe is so vast that it almost makes any civilization despair. If the orbit of Pluto is used as the boundary, then the diameter of the solar system will reach 11.8 billion kilometers. , about 78.7 astronomical units!
And if calculated based on the influence of gravity, the diameter of the solar system is up to four light years!
If the flight speed of Pangu is used, minus the time required for acceleration, it will take more than ten years to fly out of the solar system. The diameter of the Milky Way is approximately equal to 100,000 light-years, about 473 billion kilometers, which is three billion of the solar system. Times! Even if Pangu reaches sublight speed after decades of acceleration, it will still take more than 100,000 years to fly to the other side of the galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy, the closest unit to the Milky Way, has a distance of 2.2 million light-years, and the universe that humans have observed reaches a despairing 13 billion light-years! In comparison, the Milky Way where humans live is just a drop of water in the ocean, not even water, but smaller water molecules or even hydrogen atoms that can compare...
