Marvel–Immortal Path - Chapter 527

Mieba’s tall and burly body was originally very oppressive, but with the straight suit and gold wire glasses on Bilian, it looked elegant and easygoing.

He nodded, walked into the meeting room and said hello to his colleagues,

Then take out a stack of paper documents from the briefcase and distribute them to other members of the project management committee (Titan executives still advocate the use of paper documents rather than electronic documents to prevent information leakage),

They spread out the document and glanced at it. The content of the document is divided into two parts. The first part is that the research and development of superluminal engine has made a breakthrough, and Titan’s own superluminal interstellar ship can be developed in a very short time,

There is no doubt that this is the great news of universal celebration,

The successful development of superluminal engine is beneficial to the nation, the country and even the whole civilization,

It not only means that the interstellar colonization plan has obtained the most critical piece of puzzle, but also means that the territory of Titan civilization forces will be greatly expanded in the future, which will benefit the present and the future.

After reading the first part of the document, the senior officials of NASA attending the meeting were already excited. They wanted to immediately smash the peace award and lifelong achievement award at the mieba team, let him be consecrated and push him directly to the altar,

Given the historical significance of the superluminal engine, this treatment is not excessive.

Just as the participants’ hearts were beating wildly and it was difficult to restrain themselves, Leon raised his hands and motioned them to continue reading the second part of the document.

“Start the colonization project of ktx-456134 planet immediately?”

The deputy chief executive of NASA read out the title of the second part of the document, looked up puzzled and looked at mieba, “what’s going on?”

In the second part of the document, mieba explained the necessity of launching the interstellar colonization plan immediately in a very serious tone,

Look at the warning between the lines, it means that if Titan can’t colonize other planets within a hundred years, it will be destroyed in an instant, like subjugation of the country and species.

They looked up from the documents and looked at each other. They didn’t know what to say for a while.

The deputy chief executive glanced at Leon, who was sitting in the chief executive’s seat. Seeing the latter’s closed eyes and contemplation, he had to cough gently and say to mieba,

“SANOS, first of all, on behalf of myself, my colleagues from NASA and all the people of Titan, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for your efforts in the research and development of superluminal engine, but…”

No matter which race, civilization or language family, once the word “but” is blurted out, it means that the first half of the discourse can be invalidated, and the last half of the sentence really plays a decisive role.

“But is your plan for interstellar colonization too urgent?”

The deputy chief executive hesitated and said, “Titan’s star region is quite barren. Even the nearest habitable planet KTX, planet 456134, is hundreds of light-years away.

The plan to colonize aliens is undoubtedly second to none in its importance,

But it takes time to build a superluminal engine, to build a supporting spacecraft, to train the crew, and to convince the government and the people,

Moreover, before sending colonial spacecraft, we also need to send unmanned scientific research ships and manned scientific research ships for comprehensive investigation,

Every job requires a lot of time. It’s not urgent. ”

The deputy chief executive shook the papers in his hand and said softly, “everyone here has worked step by step from the grass-roots level. No one is a layman,

As we all know, even if there is a superluminal engine, the ktx-456134 planetary colonization plan takes 300 years to plan, at least 200 years,

In your plan, you constantly emphasize that more than 70% of the population of Titan must be transferred to KTX – 456134 planet within a hundred years… ”

The deputy chief executive tried his best to pick out mild words and said to mieba, an unprecedented big engineer, “is this a little… Impractical…”

If someone else came, I’m afraid the deputy chief executive would have sprayed him with blood. How could he be so polite.

Mieba took a deep breath and said calmly and firmly, “I know my request is quite excessive, but there are legitimate reasons – our planet is on the verge of collapse.”

In recent years, a small group of people believe that Titan will face a huge political and economic crisis sooner or later and will collapse completely.

This theory involves a lot of data reports. Even professionals can’t find obvious rules from those cumbersome figures. Therefore, the market of collapse theory is not large – it is usually concentrated on those angry people.

All the people in the conference room are elites who have received higher education and do not pay much attention to the so-called collapse theory – most people believe that Titan at this stage is in a new era in history, the overall situation is extremely stable, and the collapse theory is completely absurd.

Feeling the silence, mieba looked around the room and said slowly, “since the birth of human society, human society has always faced a dilemma: the contradiction between the poverty of material life and the requirements of human reproduction.

In short, the population growth force is greater than the land’s ability to produce human means of living. The increasing population will exceed the upper limit of land carrying capacity, and the extra population will be eliminated in some way.

There are many manifestations of this way, including plague and famine. Of course, the most common is war – war can not only solve the population problem, but also increase many material resources.

Before Titans developed controllable fusion reactors, we struggled in the quagmire of war for thousands of years. Until now, we think the energy we make can help us jump out of this trap,

On the surface, we have succeeded. The nuclear fusion reactor continuously releases energy, which is almost inexhaustible,

We have enjoyed peace for thousands of years, and the word war has never been so far away. ”

There is nothing new in the sun. The problem pointed out by mieba is the Malthusian trap – of course, on Titan, this theory has changed its name.

The deputy chief executive interrupted, “sorry, Dr. SANOS, what do you want to explain?”

Mieba glanced at him and said slowly, “we are wrong.

Although controllable fusion reactors provide inexhaustible energy and delay the onset of population traps, the problem is the problem,

It is like an abscess, hidden under healthy skin. With the passage of time, this abscess, which looks the same as other skin, will continue to accumulate highly toxic pus until the time comes, and then suddenly erupt, causing fatal damage to the whole life body. ”

The people in the conference room still didn’t have much expression on their faces. They listened to such a threat theory too much, and their ears were going to cocoon. They couldn’t touch it at all.

Mieba was not angry. He said calmly, “I know it sounds ridiculous. The Titan civilization is rich and the people are strong, and the scientific and technological strength is enough to provide enough excellent material resources to support many nest cities,

Even if the population is too crowded, we can come up with the idea of sending people to the space station to maintain all elements in a balanced state. Even if the people are a little dissatisfied, they will not have any thoughts of disturbing social order because of too much survival pressure.

However, we seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, the development speed of science and technology. ”

There were many talented and agile people in the conference room. Hearing that the color inside was slightly changed, mieba continued: “since the invention of controllable nuclear fusion reactor, we have enjoyed a millennium of peace,

The continuous development of science and technology has far and continuously transformed the scientific and technological power into productivity and pressed down the contradiction of population problem.

However, the development of this science and technology is completely based on the unified theory of physics thousands of years ago.

In the past 1000 years, we have only made contributions to the unified theory, but we have never made breakthrough progress. If we broaden our vision to the millennium, it is easy to find that the iteration speed of scientific theory and science and technology is slowing down.

At present, the population problem can still be balanced, but when the development of science and technology completely stagnates, the expanding population can not be erased because of the war,

This is like a pressure cooker that is gradually unbalanced inside and outside. When the pressure increases to the limit, the pressure cooker will become a bomb.

I can guarantee here that if we can’t transfer the vast majority of our population to other planets within a hundred years,

At that time, the population will grow to the limit in a logical way, the unprecedented pressure for survival will prevail, and our civilization will collapse in an instant. ”

Mieba’s tone was sincere and serious, and even those NASA bureaucrats had to start thinking about it seriously.

Someone frowned and said, “why do you say that the population problem will prevail?

The plan to transfer population to the space station was repeatedly discussed and studied by think tanks many years ago, which can perfectly relieve social pressure,

Coupled with the Titan government’s macro-control and guiding public opinion, I don’t think there will be any emergencies. ”

Mieba nodded and said, “the think tank only considered the situation at that time, but they underestimated the chaos of human nature.

When I was in college, I took a new course called ‘psychohistory’, which is also called ‘social physics’,

That is, the movement of mankind as a whole is regarded as the change of material itself, and the future development direction of society is speculated to a certain extent by comprehensively considering the political, economic, cultural, military and other social factors, combined with the public psychology,

In short, this is a knowledge similar to ‘big data derivation’. As long as enough information is collected and appropriate algorithms are used, human history can be predicted. ”

After that, mieba took out the personal information terminal, pressed it twice, and projected a huge and cumbersome calculation formula in the air.

Everyone was stunned. Although they had heard of the new sociological branch of “social physics”, they still couldn’t accept when mieba said the word “predicting history”.

“Ridiculous! Nonsense!”

The elite of the space agency who had received higher education were a little angry. They regretted why they wasted their time. However, when they glanced at the icons, they were stunned to find that there were wonderful mathematical laws behind those cumbersome algorithms.

It seems that everything about psychohistory is really a matter of a while, and it seems that it can really form self consistency

More importantly, the future derived by those formulas is not very good

“A hundred years later, the Titans’ tendency of self destruction reached its peak, abandoning their sense of social responsibility, disdaining the authority of the Titan government, and being cruel to others and themselves,

It will make people repel and even hate each other, abandon the great unity situation, divide people again according to region, nationality, civilization and skin color, religion surpasses science, fanatical personal worship surpasses democracy and freedom,

Eventually, the whole Titan will fall into unprecedented civil strife. People divided into countless groups will attack each other and can no longer form a whole. Science and technology will go back hundreds of thousands of years, and the natural environment and material resources will be destroyed unprecedentedly,

The Titans who can never point out the alien colonization technology can only be trapped on the surface of the planet forever… ”

Mieba youyou said, “this is the future deduced by social physics. Have you heard of the big filter theory?

During the transition from intermediate civilization to advanced civilization, we must face a test. One of the contents of this test is to break through the population trap. ”

The meeting room was quiet again, and the elites were somewhat skeptical – I have to admit that mieba seemed to have a bit of truth.

“… what do you want us to do?” someone asked softly.

Mieba took a deep breath and said frankly, “very simple, I have developed a superluminal engine, and all you have to do is support my interstellar colonization plan on behalf of NASA,

As long as the population is transferred to the ktx-456134 planet and an extraterrestrial colony is built within the time limit, there is still a chance of recovery. ”

The people in the conference room were silent and focused on the chief Leon.

Leader, what do you think?

“….”

Leon’s fingers beat back and forth on the wooden table. He closed his eyes and thought for a while. He said without delay: “yes, your requirements will be met,

But you have to promise me one condition. ”

Leon opened his eyes. He looked at mieba and said calmly, “in your theory, the change trend of per capita resource share is the most fundamental factor determining the social form.

War and peace, beauty and ugliness, everything can be attributed to the contradiction between limited resources and unlimited population.

You want peace, don’t you? Peace without war, chaos, humanitarian tragedy,

Then, don’t take this interstellar colonization plan as the end. I hope you can continue this experiment, conduct in-depth research and find a way to solve the final contradiction. ”

Mieba nodded.

So it was done.

The Titan space agency vigorously promoted the interstellar colonization program. Within a hundred years, most people of Titan went to the new planet in batches to explore colonies, and the population problem was alleviated.

A few years later, mieba went into politics and was successfully elected chief executive of Titan.

On behalf of the Titan civilization, he participated in the star sea competition, and gained a certain voice in the star area through the foreign exchange mode dominated by peaceful diplomacy and supplemented by war threat.

A hundred years later, the vigorous mieba, with the slogan of “inclusiveness, harmony and difference”, assimilated the civilization of the surrounding Star area into the Titan civilization and established the star sea Federation.

In the same year, genetic medicine made a breakthrough, and mieba, who entered his later life, was able to continue his life. As the chief executive, he continued to lead the newborn Xinghai Federation.

Thousands of years later, the expanding Xinghai Federation peace negotiations divided the last rebel force. So far, the power of Xinghai Federation has spread all over the galaxy.

So far, mieba, as the chief executive, issued a decree to implement the family planning policy and regulate the population peacefully and orderly on the one hand, and launch probes into other galaxies for external exploration on the other hand.

The Milky Way galaxy, with open source, reduced expenditure and balanced per capita resource share, has finally entered a new era of overall peace.

————

As the founder of the new era and the actual ruler of the galaxy, mieba’s house seems a little primitive.

The low thatched cottage was built on the hillside. From the old firewood door, you can clearly see the green mountains, green water, paths and farmland.

Mieba was sitting in the rocking chair in the front yard of the thatched house reading books. His burly body had long been bent due to the erosion of years, and his dark purple skin was covered with wrinkles. Even his once sharp eyes were as turbid as dust.

In the eyes of those who like him, mieba is the Savior, the God, the wise and profound leader, the bold and fearless hero and the messenger who brings peace to the world.

In the eyes of those who don’t like him, mieba is a dictator, a madman, a war maniac, and a thief who uses peace lies to cover up the truth of dictatorship.

But there is no doubt that what they enjoy now, whether worshippers or detractors, is the peace created by the elimination of hegemony.

Thinking like this, mieba turned a page of books. His wife, daughter, old friends and old knowledge had long been taken away by the years. He had no fetters with the world except the huge empire he created.

He has fulfilled his long cherished wish and has no regrets.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, stopped turning the pages, raised his old head and looked at the old door.

Squeak——

The door was pushed open, and Leon’s figure flashed out from behind the door. It was still the iconic white coat.

According to mieba’s memory and historical records, as the former director of the space agency, Leon died of illness after completing the interstellar colonization program of ktx-456134. Historical evaluation of him is limited to “the former boss of consul SANOS”.

A man who had died for thousands of years suddenly appeared in front of him, and a slight doubt flashed in the eyes of the old mieba – his experience was enough to keep him calm in the most incredible situations.

“How does it feel to fulfill your long cherished wish?” Leon asked.

“… good,” mieba said calmly, “I’ve never been so calm as now.”

“Since there is no regret, come with me.” Leon said with a smile, “the dream should wake up.”
