The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 497 Human Countermeasures

The second plan was also quickly rejected. As Jiang Yu said, doing so could easily become a "poverty alleviation project".

In case the equipment that symbolizes the crystallization of human technology is accidentally intercepted by other intelligent civilizations that do not have a material flow engine, their technology will soon rise to a new level.

Some people suggested that the purposeful launch of dark matter collection equipment was also rejected by everyone.

Because in the face of the sudden attack of the dark forest, human beings can only flee hastily, and how to integrate with the energy collection system is still a problem.

If you are too close to them, you will be vulnerable to joint attacks. If you are too far away, you will be out of human control, and it may become a "poverty alleviation project" again.

Soon someone proposed a third option: technology retention.

The deputy director of the strategy department who proposed this plan said: "Among the 15 provinces in the future, we can completely build one of them into a world where nuclear engines are the main technology.

"Only by maintaining the application of nuclear engines can its industrial chain, as well as related technical and theoretical knowledge be guaranteed."

But then some people think that this plan is not feasible: "What if the world with nuclear engines is the first to be hit?"

Hao Ying also said: "This plan is almost impossible to realize, with more advanced equipment and a better life, who wants to stay in such a backward world?
"The most likely scenario is that such a world will become a 'ghost town' after decades or hundreds of years!"

The person who proposed this plan felt that it was not feasible.

So everyone turned to Jiang Yu, hoping that Jiang Yu could give further hints.

Jiang Yu let go of his arms and said: "Can you change your mind? The problem we are facing is the coexistence of new technology and old technology.

"Instead of blindly retaining old technology in a more advanced technology environment."

Everyone fell into deep thought, especially the high-ranking government officials like Hao Ying, who secretly applauded Jiang Yu's idea in their hearts.

In the process of being in politics, I often encounter such problems: there is a problem that is difficult to solve, but if we change our thinking, the whole thing will become clear.

According to this idea, Jiang Yu said: "I have an idea, let's refer to it together."

Everyone looked at Jiang Yu again.

Jiang Yu said: "After the dark matter collection technology is very mature, the price of nuclear fuel will be greatly reduced, or the production of nuclear fuel will be operated as a government welfare department."

After a short silence for a second or two, everyone began to applaud the Wallfacer spontaneously.

A sentence flashed in Hao Ying's mind: Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish!

In this regard, Jiang Yu has already reached the state of being able to retract freely.

After the applause, the Minister of Strategy laughed and said: "I think this method is feasible, if there is no demand, we will create demand.

"After the price of nuclear fuel is low enough, most civilian equipment, as well as small enterprises or units will continue to choose more cost-effective nuclear engines.

"And high-tech enterprises, military products and other high-quality industries all use dark matter as energy due to technical requirements, so it is very likely that the two will coexist."

Hao Ying followed suit: "Not only nuclear engines can adopt such a model, such as solar energy, tidal energy, biological energy, etc., we can all use similar models to retain to a certain extent.

"After all, these energy sources are all around us, and as technology improves, they will only become cheaper and cheaper.

"In order to implement this plan smoothly in the future, I suggest that the price of these energy sources should be maintained now, or raised slightly.

"When there is new progress in dark matter, it will be lowered a little bit, and if there is a breakthrough, it will be lowered a little more.

"We must always make everyone feel that it is more cost-effective to use nuclear engines than to use dark matter equipment."

Jiang Yu frowned and said: "If you do this, a new problem will arise: it is not conducive to the popularization of new technologies!
"It means that we are adding burdens to new technologies.

"So I suggest that the current price of nuclear fuel and so on, always follow the market price.

"In the next year or two, find a time to announce to the public our newly concluded Dark Forest Law, and briefly describe our plan.

"When the era of dark matter clearly arrives, the price of nuclear fuel will be cut off like a cliff."

Hao Ying nodded: "It's because I didn't think carefully.

"After the meeting, I asked the Ministry of Energy to design a feasible plan."

Jiang Yu ordered: "The Strategy Department should also participate in it, and try to ensure the development of new technologies as much as possible, while retaining the technical system of nuclear engines."

Then he raised his voice and said: "Everyone must have a clear idea, we are doing this to leave a way out for ourselves, not to say that we think nuclear engine technology is good and represents the future.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, retaining the relevant technologies of the nuclear engine can play a role in hedging risks.

"But it doesn't rule out that we will have new ways to avoid the sudden attack of the dark forest in the future. At that time, some old industries should be eliminated or have to be eliminated.

"We can't add our own baggage for some old consciousness or thought.

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that our original intention is to ensure that there is enough living space for a comeback in the event of a catastrophic blow to human beings, rather than the retention of old technologies.

"Everyone, don't go in the wrong direction!"

……

In March 10, the summer of Qingnuxing has arrived, and the highest temperature outside can reach about 3 degrees.

On a planet with a lot of water, the temperature is quite high. Going out is like taking a sauna. Few people go out in this hottest season.

Jiang Yu, who loves to bask in the sun, is no exception. Since the announcement of the new Dark Forest Law, he has some leisure time. He only needs to go to the office in the morning, and usually stay at home to read in the afternoon.

The plan to deal with the new law has also passed the vote of the Supreme Council, and the energy part, because the dark matter industry has just started, will not be implemented for the time being.

There are also measures to preserve the culture of hard work, and the collection of materials will begin now.

The Strategy Department believes that all the process of opening up new planetary systems should be recorded, so that if human beings encounter any accidents in the future, there will be no reference documents at all.

At the same time, what has been preserved along with this information should also have the fighting spirit when building a new planetary system.

Often this kind of spirit does not feel good when doing construction work, and later generations will feel the difficulty and value of the construction period.

Jiang Yu didn't pay too much attention to these. He paid more attention to finding the balance point of ideology. Don't be too conservative, but don't develop too quickly.

We must actively accept new technologies, but it does not mean that old technologies should not be abandoned.

Often such abstract things are the most difficult to grasp.

But after returning home, Jiang Yu didn't think about it.

He has always kept his work and life separate.
