Start a Subspace

Alien life cubs are still a big mystery until now.

It may have come from another universe...

It was Professor Scott who answered this question: "The current domestication work is going well. It is like a dog now, very clingy, and likes to try some new movements. It may not understand such complicated instructions, what is the exploration of the universe? It might be a little difficult."

"IQ is about three years old. It is not clear whether there is a possibility of improvement."

Professor Scott played a training video, and Zero was at the table, teaching Jelly softly, "Turtle, do you know, this is a turtle."

So "Jelly" transformed itself into a tortoise, crawling slowly on the table.

Zero showed a happy smile and pointed to himself: "Human beings."

Jelly wants to imitate a human being, but its size is still too small. It turns into a fist-sized villain, running on the table, and turning into a ball again as it runs, as if very happy.

"If it is used to find the exit..." Zhang Ran was a little unconvinced. Does this guy in middle school really have enough IQ to help humans?

"Everyone, I have a question." Zhou Chengfeng asked, "If its IQ continues to improve, will it bring risks to us humans? After all, we are now...living in the wreckage of its mother and killing its mother. "

"For now, I don't feel any malice." Professor Scott said: "There is zero domestication work, and it's done very well."

"It doesn't eat. It especially likes psykers."

If it wasn't for some safety regulations, this big dragon ball would even want to run out and sleep with Zero...

"We are increasingly suspecting that this alien cub and the void amoeba are actually two different species."

"It doesn't eat at all, it doesn't know how to survive, and it's not very aggressive. It may have been captured by a void amoeba and swallowed alive. It's not a cub."

"In addition, its tentacles are relatively short and few in number, which are completely different from the flagella of the Void Amoeba."

"On the other hand, its thinking is being rapidly assimilated by us humans."

"I think the grace of nurturing is greater than the grace of procreation..."

Soon, another related expert said: "Professor Scott, you can't say that. According to our human thinking, if the person who raised us killed his father and enemy, it would only be a story in a novel, but Now it's actually happening..."

"However, I also think that its aggressiveness is really not high."

"At least for more than a year, it has not shown any aggressiveness, and it has become closer and closer to our breeder."

Speaking of this alien life form, these experts could discuss it for three days and three nights.

But all of this is just speculation, meaningless without real evidence.

Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Using alien cubs to explore the way is actually a better choice."

"Professor Huo's gravitational wave technology development, I don't think it can be counted on... It's a bit ugly to say, but the fact is that if the technical level is relatively simple, the earth civilization has been developed long ago. After all, we are currently more than the earth civilization. It’s just a nuclear fusion, and there is no epoch-making breakthrough at the theoretical level.”

Huo Dong was ashamed, really ashamed.

This grumpy middle-aged professor really felt unprecedented pressure these days.

Zhang Ran continued: "If this extraterrestrial life is indeed safe, use it as soon as possible. Mr. Scott, when you think the time is right, report to me immediately."

"Our current state is equivalent to running blindly in the dark forest with our eyes open. It is really a bit dangerous... Leaving the high-dimensional universe as soon as possible is the key now."

Scott nodded: "I understand."

...

People without thought, he must worry about.

The current situation not only has long-term concerns, but near-term worries can only be described by the four words "resignation to fate".

Next, everyone took another inventory of the resources on hand.

Since the controllable nuclear fusion project has been truly realized, human survival is no longer a problem, and the ultimate question is how to develop better.

Technology is the most important thing, and the pace of technological development cannot be stopped.

The fuel needed for controllable nuclear fusion is just a little deuterium. The energy generated by 1 kg of heavy water is 80 million kWh, even if only one tenth of it is converted into electrical energy, it is still 8 million kWh.

Human beings currently have a total of 149.8 billion tons of water resources, 99.98% of hydrogen is protium, the rest is deuterium, and there are a total of 30 million tons of heavy water.

In front of this magnitude, there is basically no shortage of energy, and it can be used for tens of thousands of years!

Compared with the current average life expectancy of 70 or 80 years, things after tens of thousands of years will not be considered for the time being.

Zhang Ran sorted out the thoughts in his mind: "Since there is no shortage of energy, our industry still has to maintain and continuously develop advanced productivity."

"First find a way to smelt those ores. We have a lot of ores in reserve, and all of them are smelted into metal ingots for emergencies. In a vacuum environment, there will be no rust problems."

"It's been a while since the start of the semiconductor industry? How is it now?"

"The production capacity is ramping up a lot, and 28nm chips will be mass-produced within a month." Chairman Zhou Chengfeng replied, "The current production capacity of high-end chips is about 10,000 pieces per month, and all our machines are put into it. Ultimately, it is expected to reach 30,000-40,000 pieces per month."

"The production capacity of low-end chips is 100,000-200,000 per month."

"Barely enough." Zhang Ran nodded.

Chips are an indispensable technological product in the information age.

There are two important technological nodes in the information age, the first is the integrated circuit, and the second is the Internet.

All kinds of smart devices, computers, mobile phones, TVs, etc., all need to use chips.

Most of the current computers are left over from ten years ago, and their performance has degraded greatly. Many computers in factories are stuck to death and should be replaced.

There are also some supercomputers, simply created by Zhang Ran through the energy of creation... This kind of supercomputer doesn't seem to last long.

Now humans are finally able to manufacture chips in large quantities, and 28 nanometers are actually so-so and sophisticated. Like intel's cpu, the 28nm process has been used for decades, and toothpaste is still being squeezed out until the sun disappears. Copying the drawings of these chips can meet the needs of many scientific researchers at the ordinary computer level.

As for the 14-nanometer and 7-nanometer mobile phone chip projects, we will not start it for the time being... After all, it is not so luxurious that everyone has a mobile phone and everyone plays mobile games together.

Everything now is aimed at developing a higher level of productivity.

"Your Highness, now we are not short of energy, water resources, titanium, iron and other metals, but there are still many things missing." Zhou Chengfeng suddenly said: "Rare earths, we are short of rare earths! The rare earths we brought from the earth There are not many rare earth elements, and the content of rare earth elements in major meteorites is very rare. The importance of rare earth elements in industry is self-evident."

"There are also precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper. These are not found in meteorites, but they are industrial necessities, so they are quite scarce."

"On average, the circuit board of each smartphone consumes 0.05g of gold, 0.26g of silver, and 12.6g of copper. The consumption of an ordinary desktop computer is 20 times that of a mobile phone. These metals are processed into finished products with a long shelf life. , does not participate in the material cycle."

"Therefore, the lack of these resources may cause the production of factories to stagnate."

"There is also the rhenium element, which is the raw material of superalloys. It was originally a rare metal... Now there are only 1.95 tons left in stock, which is pitifully small."

Zhang Ran clutched his wallet in pain. In principle, his creation ability is only used to help improve technology, or to expand production, but now the problem of lack of resources is still coming... If it doesn't work, he still has to use the creation energy.

Think about it too, the time for humans to mine on the earth was only three months.

Want to mine a lifetime of minerals in three months? It is impossible to think about it.

The lack of these few elements is considered good, but only a part of the industry is hindered, and most of the industries can still proceed smoothly.

Zhou Chengfeng added: "We still lack lithium, which is the raw material for making batteries. We brought some lithium from the earth, but we didn't get it from meteorites. The demand for lithium is higher than that of gold, silver and copper. many."

"There are still some stocks in the warehouse, which are expected to be exhausted within half a year."

"Without enough lithium batteries, we can only settle for the next best thing and go for sulfuric acid batteries, etc., and the efficiency will be much lower."

Matter, matter, matter is always scarce!

If humans want to develop technology, they must create more machines.

To create a machine, you need matter.

Matter is limited, and the number of machines can only be limited.

Zhang Ran was silent for a moment. He had a little more than 4000 in his hand, the creation energy, which can create a large amount of matter. There is no problem with rhenium or lithium.

However, a bit pricey...

Now, after all, it has not yet reached the time when resources are scarce, and God knows how long they will be trapped here.

After thinking about it, he still didn't speak directly.

Let's wait until the stock runs out.

Zhang Ran cleared his throat: "President Zhou, how long can our current inventory last?"

"Rare earths are fine...the main reason is that spacecraft use more." Zhou Chengfeng said, "Lithium will be exhausted within half a year."

"Half a year... After half a year, the domestication of jelly should be completed, right? At that time, we can find a way to find resources. If it doesn't work... I will help too. Industrial development cannot be stopped."

Zhang Ran rubbed his temples: "In addition, the improvement of the quality of folk life has to be considered."

"The progress of society must allow everyone to enjoy the fruits of progress. Improving the quality of life is conducive to exerting everyone's enthusiasm for work and solving the problem of fiscal deficit. Although we are dominated by a planned economy, we cannot allow state-owned enterprises and factories to fail. Get paid."

Zhou Chengfeng nodded and said: "Folk life is nothing more than basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation. The housing problem is basically complete, and everyone is generally satisfied."

"It's okay, I suggest producing some bicycles or electric vehicles. These means of transportation mainly use steel, and we have quite a lot of steel reserves. The batteries of electric vehicles can use lead-acid batteries instead of lithium batteries."

"However, personal cars are not recommended, let alone necessary."

"The improvement of clothes and food mainly uses carbon... Carbon is not in short supply for the time being, and it can be recycled. For the diversification of clothes, we can introduce private capital and let the market choose. What clothes look good and what clothes sell well, we There is no need to meddle, let them compete."

The most important issues in every era are nothing more than the four major areas of basic necessities of life.

"So, everyone!" Zhang Ran finally concluded: "Keep the development of science and technology and military development as the center, and we must find the exit of the high-dimensional universe as quickly as possible."

"During this period of time, we also have to find a way to transfer some of the extra productivity to private life to improve the quality of life. Please work together!"
