Chapter 3 Discovering New Worlds

The United Nations and other countries are not allowed to use this type of technology to investigate traditional crimes, unless a case is too serious and the relevant personnel must obtain the unanimous vote of the permanent representatives of the Security Council member states to the United Nations before they can implement it, and the voting method adopts a one-vote veto system.

.

Going back to the safety hoop mentioned earlier, it is a smart metal hoop that can automatically extend a thin needle and is powered by solar energy.

Its production, sales and destruction processes should be carried out under the supervision of the United Nations Department of Health and the health departments of various countries.

The thin needle that sticks out from the safety hoop is made of nanomaterials. Its diameter is measured in microns and is basically invisible to the naked eye. However, if you put it under a microscope, you can see that it is actually a machine similar to the spine of a snake.

Without harming human tissue, it penetrates into the brain from the frontal suture gap of the skull to extract the person's memory and thinking.

In order to prevent people from suddenly passing away and their souls dissipating, scientists invented something like a safety hoop. Once someone is about to die, the safety hoop will extract and preserve their memories and thoughts during their lifetime, or transmit them to satellites in the sky.

The satellite then forwards it to a server set up by the United Nations to store its so-called soul.

Also for the protection of personal privacy, people are usually free to turn off the positioning and data sending functions of their insurance hoops.

There are already 20 billion people. If this continues, even if everyone has a job, the earth's resources will still not be able to bear the squandering of so many people. We have no choice but to plan for interstellar immigration.

Through a large amount of data obtained by the FAST 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope, and after years of careful calculations, scientists have concluded that the atmosphere of Proxima b is high in oxygen, has a huge amount of water, is rich in minerals and other resources, and is home to living things, especially on its large sunny side.

The climate in some land areas is mild and spring-like all year round, making it very suitable for human habitation.

There is a continent among them, which is very vast and is the first choice for human colonization. Human scientists named it the Continent of Eden.

The continent of Eden has an area of ​​more than twice that of Europe on Earth, covering more than 24 million square kilometers. It is surrounded by sea and has an irregular oval shape. There is a huge semicircular concave in the northeast, forming a deep

of bay.

The overall terrain of the continent is highest in the northwest, slightly lower in the southwest, slightly higher in the center, and lowest in the east.

The area to its southwest, which accounts for one-sixth of the continent, is a large plain covered with lakes. Because the human advance army chose to land on the eastern edge of this plain, people named the plain the Plain of Origin.

The Guizhou Plateau in the northwest of the mainland is about the same area as the Origin Plain. It was named to commemorate the key contribution made by the above-mentioned FAST radio telescope to the investigation of the Proxima Centauri b planet.

To the west of the central part of the continent is a Custer landform area of ​​varying widths, covering an area of ​​more than 5 million square kilometers, spanning the north and south of the continent, and is named the Hocking Custer landform area.

Most of the eastern part of the continent extends to the East China Sea and is the Europa Plain, which accounts for one-half of the continent's area. As the name suggests, it was named to take care of the emotions of European scientists.

Through long-term monitoring, researchers have not detected regular radio waves emitted or diffracted by Proxima Centauri b, which indirectly indicates that there are no intelligent creatures on this planet, at least no creatures better than humans on Earth.

So what are you waiting for? The New World Project plan was fully launched. As a Nobel Prize winner in physics, Joseph became the deputy commander-in-chief of the project because of his outstanding scientific research achievements.

David's achievements in scientific research are higher than Joseph's. He is the top figure in the world of biology. He has also made some achievements in physics and other subjects. At the same time, he is more respected in the scientific community than Joseph, so he became the commander-in-chief.

Under the auspices of the United Nations, various countries have invested heavily in sending their top scientists to join the New World Project.

With the current level of scientific and technological development of mankind, the fastest objects launched are projectiles fired from the giant electromagnetic gun installed on the moon. They can already reach 0.5 times the speed of light, but the projectiles cannot be too big. They can only be the size of baseballs at most, and they need to use gravity.

The slingshot effect can be achieved.

A gravitational slingshot uses the gravitational field of a planet to accelerate a spacecraft and throw it to the next target, which is to use the planet as a "gravitational booster."

It is unrealistic to launch a high-speed manned spacecraft with an electromagnetic gun, because that kind of acceleration cannot be tolerated by any human being or most animals. Therefore, some people have proposed launching a bionic rocket with human DNA, and then automatically start cloning after arriving at the destination.

program, and then automatically inject the soul into the clone.

People first expanded the launch base on the moon and prepared to install ten giant electromagnetic guns.

At the same time, research has found that the "cannonball" to launch a complete human bionic gun is too large, and no matter how tested, it cannot reach the 0.3 times the speed of light originally planned.

At the same time, the larger the cannonball, the higher the launch cost. Every additional gram is equivalent to an increase of millions of dollars.

And even if it takes longer to reach the destination, the period required for human pregnancy and self-protection after birth is too long, and the amount of food consumed is also very large, which is indeed not safe.

Therefore, David, who is very insightful in biology, proposed to launch small "cannonballs" first. In some of the "cannonballs", a complete bionic body of a marmoset that has been genetically modified and optimized to make it closer to human genetic characteristics can be placed.

Frozen embryos are placed inside it, and a small amount of human bionic medical accessories and other equipment can be scattered in other shells.

By calculation, based on existing funds, it is barely possible to manufacture and launch 5,000 of the aforementioned "cannonballs" one meter long and 30cm in diameter, as well as more than a thousand satellite-carrying "cannonballs" of the same size, and reach 0.3 times the speed of light.

The above-mentioned funding is a huge sum of money that each member state of the United Nations has come up with from its own country's fiscal revenue for five years.

Wait for the 2,500 marmoset bionics built into the "cannonball" to automatically thaw the embryos on Proxima b according to the predetermined program and activate embryonic development. After the marmosets are born, the souls of the advance army members will be automatically injected into the marmosets.

In the monkey body, let the marmosets serve as a new force to build the first base on the Eden continent of Proxima b, assemble, activate and protect the ten human bionic robots.

At the same time, the marmosets can rely on their strong scientific and technological power to protect the safety of the base and conduct some preliminary scientific inspections and construction activities.

When the first ten humans and the subsequent humans produced using the ten bionic guns slowly grow up, they can assist the marmoset army in mining, refining various metals and other substances, and create more bionic humans.

**And other tools and equipment.

Although there are a large number of scientific researchers in the advance army, and the comprehensive knowledge reserve of the entire team is very large, the most powerful knowledge reserve is of course the digital reserve.

Therefore, each of the microcomputers carried in those "cannonballs" contained a complete set of all human knowledge collected by New World Engineering scientists.

In 1966, professors Towers, Lux and Ray of Ohio State University in the United States, influenced by IA's speculative theory of systematic knowledge, classified human knowledge into "descriptive knowledge".

", "normative knowledge", "practical knowledge", and "formal knowledge" are four major areas.

Descriptive knowledge is knowledge that describes phenomena or events. This kind of knowledge is used to pursue and establish the facts of phenomena or events. Scientific knowledge such as physics, chemistry, biology and society belongs to this category;

Normative knowledge is the knowledge that judges the appropriateness, good or bad, beauty or ugliness of a phenomenon or event. This kind of knowledge is used to pursue the value and belief of the phenomenon or event. Philosophy, literature, art, music and other knowledge fall into this category;

Practical knowledge is the knowledge to take appropriate actions and practice on phenomena or events. This kind of knowledge is used to pursue effective applied actions. This includes knowledge such as medical treatment, journalism, engineering, design and education. It is the knowledge discussed and taught in technical and vocational education.

That is, practical knowledge;

Formal knowledge is knowledge that integrates all knowledge, including mathematics, language, logic and other knowledge.

With the above-mentioned digital knowledge reserve data, people in the New World are equivalent to bringing human encyclopedias, or libraries of human civilization, so that they can build a civilization as fast as modern earth.

great human civilization.

When bionic robots in the new world are constantly being created and new human bodies are cloned, all marmoset vanguard members will be able to transfer their souls into clones of their own original DNA.

Someone once proposed a plan to place small robots, and then use these small robots to assemble more than ten human bionic**.

However, in addition to the aforementioned factors that the human gestation and growth process is relatively long, there are several factors that led to the rejection of this plan: First, the weight of the robot is much greater than that of the marmoset bionic robot; second, 2500 only has human intelligence and can use it hands-on.

The marmoset tool is obviously more useful than the robot, and it can also conduct field scientific investigations and carry out preliminary construction with the help of machinery; thirdly, the amount of food required by the marmoset to grow is much less than that of humans.

At the same time, many scientists and soldiers have the same idea as David and Joseph, that is, they can't wait to go to Proxima b in person and feel its charm with their own bodies, even if it is a marmoset body.

The outline of the plan proposed by David and his team was finally voted and approved by the United Nations General Assembly.

Of course, the practice of injecting the souls of 2,500 advance army personnel into the bodies of marmosets, as well as some previous experiments, obviously violated the relevant United Nations conventions and the laws of various countries. However, this practice was also voted by the Permanent Representatives of various countries to the United Nations.
