When there was no expectation in her heart, Tong Ling didn't know anything about getting old, and it didn't matter at all.
She didn't know when or where she would die.
But she knows that the fate of a warrior is to die in battle.
She's changed now.
She sees it as greed, and that greed is hard to satisfy.
She can only hide her delusions deep in her heart.
In 2805, things changed when Tong Ling participated in the Fleet's highest-level meeting as the Chief Instructor of the Unknown Fleet.
"Three days ago, we received a package of the latest scientific research results packaged and sent by the Imperial Command. In fact, we have received this package several times a year in the past, but this time the situation is a bit special, right We are important."
Qin Guang, sitting on the host stage, tried his best to restrain himself and tried to tell the truth in a calmer tone.
But people still hear something different in his slightly trembling tone.
Something has happened.
"The name of this new technology is cryonics."
Sure enough, when Qin Guang said this, there was an uproar in the audience.
In previous expedition plans, the final operational order was planned as such.
The members of the command sequence headed by Qin Guang and the battle sequence headed by Tong Ling will not be able to live until the day they arrive at their destination.
So when the real final battle breaks out, the main combat power on the ship will be multiplied by at least one generation.
What kind of results can be achieved in the end will firstly depend on how much technological breakthroughs can be achieved by human beings in the nearly three hundred years of voyages, and how many achievements can be transformed with the existing resources of the unknown fleet.
Second, it also depends on how many outstanding successors can be cultivated by the existing 150 million people in the fleet, and how many outstanding successors can the fleet accumulate during the nearly three hundred years of voyages. Commanders and combatants.
This is an expedition destined to span at least two generations.
Before Tong Ling's potential was exploded, there was not much of a problem with this plan.
After all, the population base in the fleet is not small, and those who board the fleet are the elites of the elite, and their genetic potential is huge.
Every time an S-class combatant falls over the course of time, a new S-class is more or less always on the way.
But since Tong Ling's potential has emerged, problems have arisen.
Even though more than 80 years have passed, only a few peak warriors have been trained within the fleet, and the gap between these peak warriors and Tong Ling in actual combat is still visible to the naked eye.
This means that even if another two hundred years pass, the cutting-edge combat power represented by Tong Ling may not be able to make up for it.
It also means that human beings can't save the strongest individual combat power to display in the final battle, which is a huge regret.
In addition, several top scientific research talents have emerged in the fleet over the years, and these people have displayed talents in different fields that are equally difficult to replicate. Even if the fleet cannot communicate with the outside world in real time, which makes it more difficult for these scientific research geniuses to obtain information, they can still keep up with external progress in most fields and help the fleet digest the high-precision information shared by the outside world in the shortest time possible. cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements.
Unfortunately, due to the general overuse of the brain and the short lifespan of scientific researchers, it is difficult for these geniuses born early to live two hundred years later. Even after waiting for a few hundred years, it is unknown whether the fleet can still have scientists of the same level, and whether it can continue to keep up with the technological progress of the entire empire.
This is always going to be frustrating.
"The situation is like this. About sixty years ago, the Empire conducted an ultra-large-scale scientific experiment. In this experiment, scientists analyzed human genes, earth biological genes, HeLa cell genes, and sage primitive genes. In-depth research has been carried out in many fields, such as , Nullification water bear, Yuxing people's stacked memory and personality storage technology."
"Up to now, after decades of calculations and repeated demonstrations, a large number of experiments have been completed. Scientists have finally found a way to seal the personality. Of course, the technology is still in the theoretical stage. A total of thirty The success rate of 60,000 volunteer trials is still zero.”
His...
The sound of gasping for breath in the conference room came one after another.
The new generation chief scientist of the Unknown Fleet, Emerson Cobert, who just took office, stood up and added: "The 360,000 volunteers did not sacrifice in vain, and a large amount of data was collected for the project. After repeated research, scholars It is generally believed that the problem lies in the irreversible data overflow in the process of converting human memory into stacked memory, resulting in insufficient integrity of the final frozen personality, and more data will always be lost irreversibly until the personality collapses. Cryonics will still lack reliability until a solution to this problem is found."
The previous chief scientist has passed away. At the age of 43, Emerson Corbett is a new generation in the fleet. He was born on the No. 3 research ship, and his parents are two senior physicists.
After Emerson finished speaking, another scientist stood up and asked the question, "Is this the need for the subject's mind to have mechanical properties? Then, can it be successful to freeze the blank person?"
Emerson nodded first, then shook his head.
"Blank is indeed very suitable for cryonics, but the freezing of the Blank is meaningless, because the thinking activity of the Blank is like a light bulb that can be turned off and restarted at any time. The freezing technology of the Blank has been used long before we set off. It has been successfully verified, but it has not caused a sensation. Its essence is no different from storing the machine, putting it aside for decades, and then taking it out for use. It is not a qualitative change, and it is not worthy of attention.”
The crowd nodded.
That's it.
Emerson added: "After talking so much, I want to tell everyone. In the previous information sharing, the technology provided to us by the empire was basically a finished product, and we just need to digest and absorb it. But this time, the empire needs Our help."
Someone immediately stood up and objected: "How can this help? We only have more than 100 million people, do we need to select volunteers from our people? What if we fail again? Are we going to die in vain? We are different. There are no infinite resources, let alone an infinite gene pool, our manpower is limited, but one death is one less."
"Yes, it's not that we are selfish. We are not afraid of death. If we really want to let me go, I will go too. But we are an expeditionary force that goes deep alone. Fighting against the strongest enemy to turn the world upside down. We are not freer than the people outside."
"In case we lose our strength in order to cooperate with the scientific research of the empire, and in the end, the scientific research here fails, and our mission also fails. Then who should we turn to? This mighty expedition force has become a joke, and he must not blow his lungs out of anger? Then I will not rest my eyes when I die."
Qin Guang pressed his hand down, signaling the people below to be calm.
When the conference room was quiet again, Emerson said slowly: "I understand everyone's concerns, and the top management of the empire also understands it, so I didn't ask for it, but asked us whether it was voluntary. The main thing is to see... Forget it, let me tell you about the value of cryonics first.”
There is no doubt that Emerson is the side that favors the experiment.
Human civilization is a huge collective composed of countless individuals.
In this group, some people will occupy a high position and hold power, some people will lead the technology, radiation era, and some people will be able to overwhelm the heroes in the combat level, and continue to raise the combat level of the entire civilization by themselves.
This small group of pioneers is like the steering wheel of a civilized chariot, or a guide bearing.
But no matter what era, there are very few people who are famous in the world. The main component of civilization is still the common people, one after another inconspicuous screw that can even be easily replaced.
Do not deny the value of screws.
In the huge chariot system, one screw was missing, and it didn't take long for another screw to be quickly replaced, and the chariot didn't move at all. But what if all the screws were removed in an instant?
The gigantic chariot had to collapse.
But again, the value of the steering wheel cannot be ignored.
Remove the steering wheel briefly, and the Civilized Chariot will take a slight fork in the road.
Wait a few days before a new steering wheel gradually grows up, takes over the responsibility of leading the way, and corrects the wrong direction for the chariot.
But at this time, civilization has already lost a lot of time and wasted a lot of resources in the detour.
This may also happen. For example, the talent of a certain steering wheel is completely beyond the era, and it is not understood by the era at that time. He has never been able to stand at the height he should stand in his entire life, and his talent was wasted in vain. .
Until many years later, later generations reacted and often sighed and sighed for his untimely life, such as Ryan, who was active in the 21st century.
In such an extensive scientific background, Ryan still proposed and completed the design of the universe's large logistics pipeline with his keen sense of smell hundreds of years ahead. Hundreds of years have passed, and the core ideas put forward by Ryan are still held true. If Ryan can be active in the twenty-sixth century, it will be a great blessing for him and for the entire civilization.
Similar situations also happened to Tesla, Zhang Heng and others.
This kind of waste is not limited to the field of science. There are similar wastes in the fields of art, politics, business, etc.
Such as Yu Boya, Beethoven, Zhong Lei...
If these people with extremely high musical creativity are exposed to more instruments, hear more different sounds, see more technology of synthesizing sounds, and more perfect modern and postmodern composition systems, these people will How many more songs can you create in your lifetime? After connecting to the brain chain technology, how many classic melodies that were quietly wasted in the mind can be preserved?
Can't imagine.
Perhaps these people have brought their talents to the extreme in their own lives.
But the so-called extreme must take into account the constraints of the times.
The core value of cryonics technology is to make these talents jump out of the constraints of the times and open up another possibility for the entire civilization.
When necessary, freeze the forerunners, preserve the talents, and keep them when needed and appropriate. After meeting certain necessary conditions, put these talents limited by the times in a more appropriate place, so that How much help will they bring to civilization in a more comfortable environment?
It's hard for ordinary people to imagine.
For example, a top scientist has advanced an important project to a certain level, and the remaining research needs experimental verification. The next step cannot be deduced until a large amount of experimental data is obtained, or it requires huge calculations and calculations. long-term observation.
This is realistic.
Some astrophysics projects involving stars often require decades or even centuries of observation and waiting.
Without cryonics, the talented scientist had to waste his life and wasting his talent in needless waiting.
Even if he turns to other directions and produces some results during the period, it is actually not as important as the major project that can run through his life.
If there is cryonic technology, the same person can wait for the project to mature and engage in larger and great research for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. What about civilization?
Some people may say, as a mentor, can't you train students, don't you have a successor?
But each successor learns from the mentor, which takes time and cost, and different people think about problems, and there must be different places.
Some projects require a complete line of thinking.
Training successors is a huge trial and error process in itself.
This will not only waste the life of the tutor, but also the life of many students who are eliminated and not so suitable.
How much waste of resources is there?
What if these resources were saved?
In the past, people didn't dare to think about it, because no one could match time, the sharpest weapon in the universe.
Eternal life has been proven impossible.
But it does now.
There is no doubt that this will bring qualitative changes to the scientific research process of human beings.
The same goes for other fields with similar needs, such as warriors.
No matter how strong a warrior is, if he is born too early and cannot live to the end of the battle, he can only be an outsider after all.
But cryonics technology can make the genius warriors born in generations of human beings enter a frozen state, and then stand up again when civilization reaches the most dangerous life and death.
Another example is the ultra-long-distance voyage across the star system.
This effect is more intuitive.
Assuming that human beings choose an extragalactic galaxy with a distance of more than 10 million light-years as a voyage target, even the current fastest spacecraft five hundred times the speed of light will take 20,000 years to reach the destination.
Under normal circumstances, the humans in this fleet have been reproduced for at least one or two hundred generations.
But when the natural phenomena of the universe cannot pose a threat to human beings, the greatest enemy of human beings has become themselves.
In the infinite time and distance, there are too many uncertain factors in the direction of the human heart.
When halfway through the journey, as the population structure continues to update, it is easy for the heirs to lack a sense of belonging to the civilization as a whole, causing these people to lose faith and eventually fall apart, perishing in the universe in infighting .
Then the voyage was a complete failure.
But if there is cryonic technology, the expedition fleet can use it flexibly to arrange a backbone that can run through the endless expedition plan.
"In short, by mastering cryonics technology, some talents that are destined to be wasted can be preserved. In essence, it is mastering time and creating new infinite possibilities for the development of civilization."
"This technique has the same effect as the sage Chen Feng's intervention in the timeline. The sage steals time from different timelines, and then accumulates it into our last timeline, creating a stronger civilization for us. But cryonics is to further extract the value of time infinitely in the same timeline, which is a more extreme means of stealing time.”
"We can immortalize great people, even if it's just a fake immortality, it's enough to make important people with super-high IQ and super-powerful ability run through a longer era, form greater influence, provide more The possibility of a strong civilization explosion!"
“Its technology application prospects and applicable scenarios are infinitely broad, and the changes it will bring to civilization, I can’t help myself just imagining it. This means that we truly have the possibility to go to the endless universe.”
"This is an important sign that human civilization is striding forward on the road of the fourth-level civilization!"
Emerson spoke impassively.
After a long time, someone in the conference room sighed.
"Sounds good. Alas, it's a pity that the sage couldn't enjoy it. Otherwise... it would be nice if everyone knew that the sage was still sleeping somewhere~IndoMTL.com~."
Qin Guang thought about it, but did not reveal the secret that Chen Feng was indeed "sleeping".
That is another "personality cryopreservation" technology that is more beyond understanding, not universal and has no reference value.
"Okay, Mr. Emerson, you're just trying to convince us to support the project. Tell me, what should we do?"
An officer stood up and asked.
Emerson turned to look at Tong Ling, who was sitting in the front row. After hearing the words "body cryogenic", she was wandering all over the world, and said: "Instructor Tong has the quantum thinking that is closest to mechanization in human beings. Instructor Tong's intuition The thinking mode makes her the only person who has obtained the ability of mechanized thinking without relying on "Song of the World". Therefore, we need the help of Instructor Tong."
"This..."
Qin Guang and many other military personnel suddenly changed their faces.
Scientists want "guinea pigs."
OK, they don't object.
Even if you go on your own, it's fine.
But these scientific lunatics are too daring to think about it, and as soon as they come to focus on the entire unnamed fleet, and even Tong Ling, the most cutting-edge fighting force of all mankind, they are just thinking about shit!
If something happened to Tong Ling, it would be a disaster.
Looking back and encountering an enemy combat unit of the same level as the crystal water bear, who will take the lead?
No one is afraid of death, only afraid of losing.
"I am against..."
Gao Xiaoqi, who had been promoted to major general, stood up abruptly and spoke loudly.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tong Ling.
"I agree."
Tong Ling's reply was concise and powerful, with a sense of indulgence and no room for negotiation.
No one knows, but her soul is shaking with excitement.
