Voyage of the Stars

Two hundred years is both a long time and a short time.

The long one is relative to the Earth era, and the short one is relative to the interstellar era.

Yue Yuan estimated the time he had left in his mind, then took a few steps forward to approach Zhu Pite, and at the same time said: "We can't delay it any longer, let's freeze Yi Kai on the grounds of the Eighth Act. ! You should handle this matter yourself."

"Okay!" Zhu Pite nodded heavily.

He knew what the so-called Eighth Bill was, which was about the new government's policy on treating outstanding scientists. It stipulated many benefits that outstanding scientists enjoyed, including a hibernation program that had a life expectancy.

The reason why Yue Yuan heard that Yi Kai was about to reach the end of his life and decided to say "on the grounds of the Eighth Act" so quickly was because after hearing Zhu Pite's words, he inquired about Yi Kai's status through personal terminal services. Odds on hibernation matters.

It was recorded that the relevant personnel once persuaded Yi Kai to enter hibernation and wait for future technology, but Yi Kai refused. The reason for the refusal, according to Yi Kai, was that he did not need to hibernate, and he wanted to continue to study life sciences and strive to develop new life medicine as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also said that he is already a scientist from the old era, and his thinking can no longer keep up with the younger generation. Leading research in the field of cutting-edge technology for a long time will bring science to a standstill. The delay in breakthroughs in life medicine is the best proof.

Yue Yuan believed the first statement, but not the second one.

Yi Kai is making a completely random excuse. As a leader of civilization, Yue Yuan knows best about scientists at the forefront of science and the fields they are researching. After all, he will take time out after dealing with daily affairs. Pay attention to developments in other aspects.

There are more than just Yi Kai scientists in the fields of life sciences and biology, and the research team cannot only be Yi Kai's team. Yi Kai is just one of the best. In addition, he is senior, cheerful and has no airs. Taught many students.

Therefore, in the life science community, almost all scientists respect him very much. It is for this reason that Yi Kai has been sitting firmly in the leadership seat of the Life Science Association all year round. However, sitting in this position is just a manifestation of his popularity, not scientific research. Everyone has to listen to him.

After so many years of science-promoting policies, the scientific environment of mankind has been formed. When there are different opinions and views, other scientists and researchers will not give you face based on your position.

So what Yi Kai said is outdated thinking is nothing to do with it. Moreover, he does not have old-fashioned ideas. Instead, he is like an ageless naughty boy, always maintaining the living habits of his childhood.

Yue Yuan was deeply impressed by this. He still remembers the scene when he met Yi Kai at the Guanghan Palace base.

Yue Yuan's pupils lost focus and fell into memories of the past. But it only took a short moment. When he came back to his senses, he found that Zhu Pitt had turned around and was walking out.

Seeing this, Yue Yuan quickly said: "Pite, wait a moment."

"Shuai Yue, what else can you do?" Zhu Pitt paused, turned around and looked over, his face still so meticulous.

"After arranging Yi Kai's hibernation, you should go hibernate too!" Yue Yuan looked at Zhu Pite's thick hair. Genetic technology had already cured his baldness.

"Shuai Yue, this is inappropriate!" Zhu Pite did not accept Yue Yuan's opinion unconditionally. He gave his own reasons: "After so many years, we humans think we are free from the threat of death, but now society seems to Overnight, we returned to the past era, and birth, old age, illness and death once again became the focus of society.

This is especially serious among the general public, and the group with the most discussions and various comments is the new generation of humans. Judging from their comments, they seem to show some unwillingness to the natural end of life, and There seems to be a growing trend.

There is a fear of death in it, but after analysis by relevant departments, the main thing is an unwillingness to be unwilling to accept that the universe is so beautiful, and that the future of mankind is so wonderful but one cannot see it.

Relevant departments have analyzed that if this sentiment is not handled properly, it is likely to spread to the entire society. Now some people have proposed, intentionally or unintentionally, to expand the scope of Act 8, which only targets scientists and researchers, to the entire society. to gain the opportunity to hibernate before aging. Once this sentiment ferments, it is likely to cause social unrest.

In addition, there are voices urging the ship to set sail. These people feel that as long as the ship sets sail, the new government will launch the Great Hibernation Project, and their aging process can be cured for future technological treatment.

However, this statement was just their wishful thinking, and was quickly refuted by some people familiar with the matter. After all, they did not know that when the large fleet embarked on its voyage, the scientific research institutions would also fall into semi-hibernation. "

Zhu Pite is right. It seems that humans have set foot in the stars for thousands of years, but they have only now reached the third level of civilization. So much time was not spent living as dogs, but in fleets sailing across the star system. At that time, everyone was hibernating.

The real development time is only when human beings stay in a certain star system, which is the real normal development of scientific research. After all, the resources carried during the voyage are mainly used for survival and preventing various accidents.

However, this situation should have some improvement when reaching the third level civilization, but not much. The reason is for no other reason than that the speed has increased.

At 50% the speed of light, there is already an obvious time dilation effect. If it is a 46-year voyage traveling at 50% the speed of light, the people on the spacecraft will only feel that 40 years have passed before they reach their destination.

The closer the speed is to the speed of light, the greater the time difference between the observer and the mover will be. This is the time dilation effect.

At this moment, Zhu Pite paused and saw that Yue Yuan seemed to be thinking. He felt that this was interesting, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Nowadays, there are some problems of one kind or another in our human society. We are more... The Ministry of Security is needed at any time. As the Minister of the Ministry of Security, how can I go into hibernation at this time? Didn’t the ancients say that people are destined to die? Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "

After listening to Zhu Pite's reasons, Yue Yuan fell silent.

Yue Yuan is also aware of the various voices in society in recent times, so he knows that Zhu Pite is telling the truth, and just as Zhu Pite said, the power of the Security Department is even more needed at this time.

Because now in the human race where everyone has been genetically enhanced, only the soldiers of the Ministry of Security have the force to crush ordinary people. With them, there can be no chaos within the human race.

However, the facts are facts, and Yue Yuan is not only considering this fact.
