Looking at the report document signed by more than a dozen scientists including Huang Yuan and Mo Xiangsheng, Shen Qingyuan’s hand began to tremble slightly.
Shen Qingyuan originally thought that the situation had reached the worst. The so-called “No Extreme Tailai” means that after the worst stage is over, things will often usher in a turning point. But Shen Qingyuan didn’t expect that the situation could be even worse than he expected.
The migration plan that had been in preparation for many years was forced to be cancelled, and the dark matter particles were confirmed, which led people to continue to stay in the Phoenix Galaxy, concentrate on research and search, until they found materials that were strong enough to resist the influence of that particle, and then they could arrive alive again. Isn’t that bad enough that the dream of Earth is completely broken?
But, but, who would have thought that scientists have proved that any known material cannot resist the influence of dark matter particles? If the previous difficulties may be solved in decades or hundreds of years, the current difficulties may exhaust all futures of human civilization and cannot find the answer.
One is applied physics and the other is fundamental physics. These two difficulties are not at the same level at all.
Can breakthroughs in fundamental physics be that simple? In the entire history of human civilization, there have been only a few breakthroughs in basic physics. The most recent technological leap was more than 3,000 years ago, when humans had not left the solar system and the robot crisis had not yet erupted. Sometimes even scientists doubt whether the next breakthrough in basic physics can be ushered in the entire life course of human civilization. Now, scientists say that without a breakthrough, it is impossible to leave the Phoenix Galaxy?
Shen Qingyuan suddenly coughed violently, to the point of being breathless. The medical team leader and the life secretary hurried in and wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Shen Qingyuan raising his hand. After a long time, Shen Qingyuan stopped coughing, but there was already a cloud of red blood on the tissue in his hand.
The medical team leader carefully picked up the ball of tissue, glanced at it, and said, “Führer, your condition has worsened. I suggest that you start the second stage of treatment today.”
With the coughing out of the blood, the tightness in his chest seemed to ease a little. Shen Qingyuan waved his hand and said, “You go out first.”
The life secretary and the medical team leader left with anxiety, while Huang Yuan and several scientists entered Shen Qingyuan’s office half an hour later.
“Tell me how you can solve this problem.”
Shen Qingyuan got straight to the point and directly asked this question.
Huang Yuan and his companions looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and then said: “Only when fundamental physics is broken through and dark matter is fully incorporated into our theoretical system, can we find a way to leave safely.”
“How can I break through?”
Dr. Huang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Increase investment in basic physics research.”
Shen Qingyuan said sensibly: “Isn’t the investment enough now?”
Huang Yuan knew that Shen Qingyuan was a head of state who attached great importance to scientific research and education. In the policy he implemented, nine percent of the entire civilization’s economy was invested in scientific research and education every year, and this amount even exceeded military spending. And of those nine percent, more than three-quarters were invested in scientific research.
Even the most demanding person can’t say that Shen Qingyuan has little investment in scientific research. On the contrary, many people have been criticizing Shen Qingyuan’s policies for being too biased towards scientific research and education.
Before coming here this time, Huang Yuan already knew what the head of state would ask himself, and he prepared a draft in advance. But in the face of the head of state’s inquiry, Huang Yuan found that he could not speak.
But these words are meant to be said after all.
Huang Yuan raised his head and tried his best to look at Shen Qingyuan: “Yes, not enough. The analysis of our team of scientists is that at least 40% of the year’s economic output should be invested in scientific research every year. We only hope to solve the dark matter problem within a thousand years.”
Shen Qingyuan’s eyes snapped open, and then he sneered: “Forty percent? A thousand years? Is it just a possibility? Huang Yuan, in my impression, you are not a person who likes to joke.”
This is ridiculous and impossible to achieve. There are so many things in a civilization, and everything costs money. However, the total economic volume is limited. If more money is invested in scientific research, the rest of the country will inevitably decrease. The sudden increase of scientific research funding from less than 9% to 40% is almost like a fantasy.
Huang Yuan knew exactly what his proposal meant. Facing Shen Qingyuan’s sneer, his mood gradually calmed down.
“Führer, basic physics research has never been an individual or private act, because it is impossible for an individual or private person to afford the huge amount of funds needed for basic physics research. Only the government has this ability. Do you know? Particle accelerators for scientific research cost tens of billions of dollars, and they can only support a maximum of 100 particle collision experiments a year, which is only enough for a maximum of 1,000 scientists to obtain the experimental data they need. The equipment in our institute The application of the interstellar super particle accelerator has even been lined up three hundred years later.
Modern scientific research requires the concerted efforts of millions and tens of millions of scientific researchers to open that door. How can we make theoretical breakthroughs if scientists don’t even have the tools to test them? “
Shen Qingyuan said coldly, “Forty percent, it’s impossible.”
Huang Yuan said: “Führer, don’t you understand? The universe is too vast, and we humans are too weak. If we want to explore the origin of the universe and understand the mysteries of the universe, we originally required us to go all out to have hope. Don’t be blinded by the ease of life in the solar system, what we’re experiencing right now is the norm in the universe.”
Shen Qingyuan looked indifferent, unable to see what he was thinking.
Huang Yuan said again: “In peacetime, our group of scientists has time to study slowly with funds that only occupy 9% or less of the total amount of civilization’s economy every year, and rely on the accumulation of time to achieve the final breakthrough, but Now, we’re running out of time. Not to mention that our generation of scientists will grow old and die, and the new generation of babies will have a higher and higher rate of deformities, just this Phoenix – if until it explodes and we Haven’t found a way to escape from the galaxy yet, the many projects you’ve built, the tools people bought, the movies and TV works that the artists spent a lot of money on, etc., what’s the point of all this? What’s the point of living? , dead, nothing.”
Shen Qingyuan waved his hand: “You guys go out first.”
Shen Qingyuan did not directly refuse. Dr. Huang Yuan and others also know that this decision is really too important – once the head of state decides to invest 40% of the annual economic output into scientific research, then civilization will undergo earth-shaking changes, and it will be real It affects everyone and will encounter countless opposition. It is possible that pensions will be completely cut, infrastructure construction may be completely stopped, taxes and fees will be increased on a large scale, prices will soar and even a rationing system will be implemented, working hours will be greatly extended, and wages will only be a fraction of the original.
This is almost equivalent to feeding the group of scientists with the power of everyone in the entire civilization, so that scientists can find a way out. This will completely subvert the previous way of life.
Huang Yuan and others quietly left, while Shen Qingyuan sat alone at the desk and pondered for a long time. It wasn’t until the medical team leader couldn’t help that he wanted to forcibly enter to see if there was an accident, that Shen Qingyuan left his office with a calm expression, and then came to a hidden corner. Before the most heavily guarded rooms.
So the secretaries knew that the Führer needed to be alone for a while. During this period of time, whenever there is a major difficulty or a major and bad change in the situation, the Yuan will come to this room alone for a while. No one knew what was in the room, and what the Führer did in the room, but people knew that before entering the room, the Führer might be preoccupied, angry, or sad, but after he came out, the Führer would surely recover. , to become that confident and strong leader of civilization again.
Shen Qingyuan logged into the game again, manipulating the character named “The Slaughter”, and madly slaughtering anything he could see in this virtual world. So there were bursts of exclamations in the chat channel: “The slaughterer is here! He’s online!”
“Go back to the safe zone! Run!”
“Let’s observe a moment of silence for those monsters.”
“This man is simply a lunatic!”
“Do you know? I heard that the slaughterer is a perverted rich second generation~www.mtlnovel.com~ I have a friend who once ate with him, and the slaughterer spent millions of dollars for just one meal! “
“Bragging! What kind of meal can cost millions for a meal?”
“Hey, that’s why I said that this guy is a little perverted. Do you know what programs are prepared at the dinner party?”
“Murderer, why did you kill me, the guy who killed the whole family? It took me five days to get the equipment!”
Shen Qingyuan paid no attention to the constantly updated information in the chat channel. He just kept killing, without any reason, until half an hour later.
He closed the game on time and left the room. The secretary and others who were waiting outside the door were surprised to find that Shen Qingyuan, who had been indifferent before, now had that confident smile on his face again.
His energy is still abundant, his stature is still tall, and his gestures are still full of domineering.
“Go and gather the following people and come to my office immediately.”
