Chapter 208: Social changes brought by Zhang Wei

(Two-in-one chapter, for subscription, monthly ticket, recommended ticket. Thanks)
Zhang Wei was sleeping soundly, but the impact of what he said at the Nobel Prize award ceremony was continuing to ferment, causing heated debate.
Future technology company, astronaut training base.
In the lounge, Wang Chen is discussing the alien problem mentioned by Zhang Wei with his colleague and friend Huang Xiaofeng.
Wang Chen has always believed in the existence of aliens. He even like Zhang Wei thought that humans may be descendants of aliens from interstellar immigrants, but they were abandoned here for unknown reasons. In order to persuade Huang Xiaofeng, he used his mobile phone to log in to the network disk and opened a piece of information he had collected for Huang Xiaofeng to see.
"Humans are latecomers on the earth. In the 4.5 billion-year history of the earth, human participation has only been a short time. If we shorten the entire history of the earth to 24 hours a day, then humans will be until 23 o'clock that night It only took 58 minutes to make its debut. Little is known about the history of life on earth.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Russian chemist Alexander Obarin and Indian-born British biochemist Holdan proposed the "chemical generation theory" of life. They believed that the early earth environment was suitable for simple inorganic molecules to form complex organic macromolecules. , Which in turn leads to the eventual generation of life. In the 1950s, Stanley Miller, an American biochemist working at the University of Chicago, and Harold Yuri, a famous American chemist, conducted a classic experiment, which was later called "Yuri Miller" "Experiment" aims to verify this hypothesis.
In the experiment, Miller and Yuri filled an experiment container with mixed gas, including water vapor, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen, to simulate the early Earth's atmosphere; and filled with a certain amount of liquid water to simulate the early earth's ocean. The electrodes were then used to discharge the atmosphere, simulating the lightning that frequently occurred on the early Earth. After the experiment was carried out for about a week, a large number of dark sticky ~ thick compounds had appeared in the container. When analyzing these substances, scientists discovered more than 20 different amino acids.
The Yuri Miller experiment and other subsequent experiments support the theory of the chemical origin of life, that is, life is directly generated from the early Earth environment through chemical action.
However, many experts are still skeptical about this theory. For example, the famous British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle scoffed at the idea of ​​producing the earliest life through a chemical process, saying it was like "a tornado sweeping over a dump, and then happened to assemble a Boeing 747 airliner".
Opponents are not without reason.
Life itself appeared on the earth very early, and it was a bit unexpected. Just in October 2015, scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, declared that the earliest life on earth had appeared at least about 4.1 billion years ago, and this result pushed the previous record forward again by about 300 million. year. You know, the earth was born about 4.54 billion years ago, and this research means that life has appeared a short time after the birth of the earth.
It takes a long time for life to appear through chemical processes. Obviously, the appearance of life on Earth seems to be "too fast".
In 1984, the American female scientist Scole and his colleagues discovered a dark-colored rock during an investigation in the Allen Mountain area of ​​Antarctica, which was initially determined to be a meteorite. The first meteorite found in the area was named "alh84001" according to convention.
At that time, no one paid special attention to this stone, and no one thought that this rock would become the headline of the world's major media in more than 10 years. However, in 1996, NASA scientists announced the discovery of a suspected Martian microbial fossil inside alh84001, triggering a huge shock worldwide.
Although the reliability of this conclusion was generally questioned by the academic community, the hidden possibilities behind it are very representative: could life on earth be foreign?
This theory has attracted wide attention since it was put forward, and people call it the "embryo theory". The theory holds that life on Earth came to the Earth from other places in the universe through meteorites falling. Experiments have also proved that, under suitable conditions, microorganisms living inside rocks may indeed survive the meteorite passing through the Earth's atmosphere, and all life on Earth today is a descendant of the evolution and reproduction of these foreign life. Even if the meteorite does not bring "off-the-shelf" life to the earth, a large amount of organic matter has indeed been found in the meteorite. For example, in the Murchison meteorite that fell to Australia in 1969, scientists have identified more than 100 amino acids.
As such, in a strict sense, we may not be Earth people at all, but "interstellar immigrants" from other parts of the universe. "
After Huang Xiaofeng finished reading, Wang Chen withdrew his mobile phone and asked with a smile, "How do you think it makes sense?"
Huang Xiaofeng said, "Is this article a work of Minke? It seems a little reasonable, but the mainstream in the academic world still thinks that humans have evolved from monkeys. And if we are really descendants of aliens, then Explain that other aliens may visit Earth at any time, and the technology of these aliens must be very developed. If they want to enslave or even destroy us, do n’t we even have the ability to resist at all? "
Wang Chen replied, "Yeah, this is where I am concerned. If earth civilization really comes into contact with alien civilization, it may be a disaster. For example, Voyager 1 has now flown out of the solar system and floated away from the earth. The distant universe of 19 billion kilometers is in deep space. If it is captured by aliens, it may lead them to threaten us. "
With that in mind, Wang Chen smiled and shook his head again. "I think too much. At the speed of Voyager 1, it will take 70,000 years to reach the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, if it is outside. In the case of aliens, they are the closest aliens to us. At the speed of our development, they may have become god-level civilizations after 70,000 years. If the aliens really come to the door, the scene will be very exciting. . "
Huang Xiaofeng was also happy, "How do I feel that Voyager 1 is a conspiracy? When it is picked up by an alien after 70,000 years, it becomes a bait. The alien is a fish, a human, a fisherman. ! "
The two talked for a while. Wang Chen looked at the time and stood up and said, "It's enough to rest. It's time to continue training. There are still ten months. The company's first spaceship is about to be built. There is a chance to go to the moon and go to Mars to see if there are any traces left by aliens. "
...
At the same time, netizens are also hot discussions.
"Zhang Wei's speech is always full of passion. It sounds interesting when listening. Unlike other scientists, he specializes in terms that ordinary people don't understand. And the future life he describes is always full of expectations."
"Dr. Zhang is also a part-time prophet. What do you think about his two predictions?"
"That must be believed, what he said seems to be realized, and this time will certainly be no exception!"
"It can also be seen from Zhang Wei's first prediction that future technology companies should focus on space, exploring space, developing space resources, and looking for aliens."
"It's not just future technology companies, major countries around the world have adjusted their strategies to develop space technology, and the earth has officially entered the space age.
As far as I know, our country has formulated a policy to serve the space age, which will be promulgated soon.
According to this policy, the country will concentrate on developing space technology in the future. For this reason, it will suspend or postpone all infrastructure construction. In the future, most resources will be given priority to the development of space technology. (It is worth mentioning that in fact, after the launch of anti-gravity flying vehicles, our country has reduced a lot of infrastructure construction such as roads, railways, airports, ports, etc., because anti-gravity flying vehicles, anti-gravity flying trucks and other anti-gravity equipment It is bound to be popularized, and these infrastructures will also face outdated dilemmas.)
In addition, all domestic universities must establish aerospace majors and other space technology-related majors, focusing on cultivating relevant talents to reserve human resources for the development of space. Speaking of which, one thing must be mentioned. With the advent of intelligent robots, many majors in universities and vocational schools have completely disappeared, and many vocational schools have even completely closed down, such as training excavators, training welding, training foreign languages. , Training chefs, because in a few years, these jobs will be replaced by intelligent robots, even if the training is out, it is also unemployed! The country has introduced relevant policies, arranging students to switch majors at school, and arranging employment personnel to re-enter school to adapt to the coming era of intelligent robots, and many of these students have entered majors related to space technology.
It can be said that space will be the most important development direction for our country in the future, and manpower, material resources, financial resources, and policies will all serve the purpose of entering space.
The United States, Russia, Japan, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Korea and other countries are also brewing similar policies, making space technology a top priority strategic technology, and there will be a lot of resources leaning towards space technology. According to my It is estimated that these policies will be announced one after another within a few months. The rest of the countries actually want to develop space technology, but without technology and money, they can only watch.
You may be wondering why governments of all countries attach so much importance to space technology? That is because space technology determines the future of the nation. In space, it has endless energy, rare metals, minerals and other wealth.
On the moon, there are millions of tons of helium-3, and the energy it provides as a raw material for nuclear fusion is enough for our country to use for tens of thousands of years. In addition, there are more rare metals on the moon than the earth has. We can also build cities on the moon, grow food, set up factories, emigrate, and ease the pressure on the planet ’s population.
In addition to the moon, there are countless asteroids in the solar system. These asteroids also have astronomical wealth. For example, scientists estimate that the core of the asteroid number uw-158 contains 100 million tons of platinum, worth up to 3.5 trillion yuan. British pound (5.4 trillion US dollars). According to the current survey results of scientists, asteroids as valuable as uw-158 abound, such as: 162385 (2000bm19) asteroids worth 3.44 trillion US dollars; 4034vishnu asteroids worth 2.51 trillion US dollars; 65679 (198 ~ 9uq) The asteroid is worth US $ 1.77 trillion; the 7753 (1988xb) asteroid is worth US $ 1.38 trillion; the 3200 phaethon asteroid is worth US $ 870 billion. There is also an asteroid named "Germany 241". According to estimates, the value of its mineral resources is as high as 95.8 trillion US dollars, almost equivalent to the gdp of the entire world.
In addition to possessing endless resources and wealth in space, there is also a reason to encourage all countries to develop space technology fully. That is, the resources on the ball are actually not much, and they can no longer support us to continue to consume. If we do not make changes, only Can stay on earth for life until death. In addition, our country took the lead in launching the plan to conquer the moon, and also awakened other countries, otherwise the space age should be delayed by another thirty or fifty years. "
"I depend, is the person in the system upstairs? I actually know the strategies of countries around the world, but I also think that the real space age has come. In this era, we should see the outside world, not the small one. Earth."
These netizens are discussing aliens and space, and many netizens are discussing Zhang Wei ’s second prediction, that is, humans can extend their lifespan to 500 years in fifty years.
"I really hope that Zhang Wei can realize this prophecy quickly. Fifty years are too long, I can't wait!"
"I remember Zhang Wei mentioned for the first time at the" Future 1 Gene Injection ~ Solution "press conference that he wanted to make humans live to 500 years old, and now less than two months have passed, Zhang Wei said that humans can Extend lifespan to 500 years within ten years. This shows that Zhang Wei must have made some progress and is confident that he will accomplish this feat within fifty years. Everyone said my speculation is reasonable? "
"I rub it, the details are the devil. I think what you said makes sense. Judging from Zhang Wei's consistent style, what he said is definitely achievable, and there is a great possibility to realize it in advance. I remember very clearly, At the first press conference in his life, Zhang Wei said that he has the ability to perfect anti-gravity technology within five years. As a result, he built the anti-gravity flying vehicle in only four months. So I believe Zhang Wei We must invent drugs that extend life in a shorter period of time. Even if we ca n’t live to 500 years old, we can live to 200 years old. "
"Of course, even if Zhang Wei invented such a drug, it would definitely be a sky-high price. The average person can't afford it. Only those rich and powerful people can borrow another five hundred years from the sky. Let us ordinary people wash and sleep. . "
"If there is a chance to live, who is willing to die? As long as there is such a drug, even if I steal it and steal it, I have to make up the money by any means! This is a life span of five hundred years ~ EbookFREE.me ~ ancient times None of the emperors can enjoy it. "
"You think too much upstairs. The police has cooperated with the future technology company to use the artificial intelligence technology provided by Zhang Wei to build a national intelligent police platform. The surveillance cameras in public places across the country have already cooperated with the police's intelligent police. The service platforms are connected together, as long as any wanted criminal suspects are caught on the face by the surveillance camera, they will be recognized and the police will arrive in the shortest time. In addition, if you commit a crime in a certain place, After the police receives the alarm call, the intelligent police platform will automatically call the surrounding surveillance cameras and analyze the suspicious persons. It is said that the accuracy rate is as high as 70%. Unless you are a master of crime, don't think about this path. In this era, it is the most stupid criminal act to rob or steal. "
"That ’s right, I heard that the country is preparing to purchase a new generation of gene sequencers from future technology companies to popularize gene ID cards. Everyone ’s genes will be recorded in the national gene bank. By the time you leave your hair at the crime scene, Trivial things such as skin debris, saliva, fingerprints, etc., will help the police to lock your identity, so do n’t even think about taking the wrong way. There is a good saying, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, it is now In the era of great change, there are many opportunities, and we can make a fortune when we follow the right path. "
"Poof ... Thirty years Hedong thirty years Hexi, this sentence is inexplicably familiar, dare to ask upstairs but Xiao Yan?" (Unfinished to be continued.)
