Chapter 2821 A Bright Future
The Wandering Plan was proposed after scientists calculated that the sun would have a helium flash in 400 years, but it has been in a state of being passed but not fully passed.
To be honest, scientists cannot even give 100% evidence for global warming and the impact of global carbon emissions on the earth. Suddenly saying that the sun will have a helium flash in 400 years, the evidence is definitely insufficient.
Although it is a conclusion reached unanimously by physicists and astrophysicists around the world, it is still difficult for people to accept.
Scientists are not charlatans. When scientists propose an issue or a possibility, the first step is peer review. In simple terms, it is to find authoritative scientists in the same industry to discuss and calculate this possibility together. At least five scientists must agree that this possibility is valid before it can be published.
The conclusion of helium flash must have been peer reviewed, and then different observatories and observation satellites collected data and finally made the conclusion.
However, although scientists all believe that helium flash is certain to occur in 400 years based on current data, the current conclusion does not mean that it will not change in the future. After all, the data changed only not long ago, so most scientists still belong to the cold recovery faction, and they do not support the adoption of the Wandering Plan.
The remaining scientists either chose to remain silent or were the cold-cured terminal illness faction, who believed that the Wandering Plan should be launched.
Because the Wandering Plan was too ambitious, it would be irresponsible to waste every day from now on. Because it was necessary to build a planetary engine that was higher than Mount Everest, it would take several years just to select a site, and then start construction. The entire project was so huge that it would take at least two hundred years to build 10,000 engines, and then brakes would be needed to stop the rotation of the earth, and then escape around the sun. When all these were done, the earth would be in a safe place, and the sun would almost have a helium flash.
Of course, the cold-cured faction was not saying to sit and wait for death. They believed that they could build a spaceship. After all, the investment was small, and even if the sun got better, the spaceship could still be used to explore the universe, and it would not be wasted. And the Wandering Earth faction was simply nonsense. Just because of a cold, they were going to implement a plan that was extremely costly and sacrificed hundreds of millions of lives. This was simply outrageous.
Although the spaceship could not support any ecosystem and could not carry out long-distance space travel at all. But most scientists believed that spending the budget of the Wandering Plan on developing a light-speed engine was more reliable than pushing the earth.
The two sides were arguing, and Duran thought that a war should take place at this time, and the outcome would be decided by fighting. Whoever wins will be the one to listen.
However, because the sun's recent activity is too intense, the disasters on the earth have indeed increased, earthquakes, volcanoes, forest fires, droughts, floods...
Will the sun recover or continue to deteriorate? No one knows, but the disasters on the earth are indeed increasing, and it still creates a sense of crisis.
At this time, Duran has already obtained a design drawing of a planetary engine. This thing is more high-tech than a smartphone. Making such a thing is no less than making a spaceship. Not only does it have a thruster, but it also includes an underground city. In addition to pushing the earth, the thruster also provides energy for the underground city.
There is an underground city under each thruster. The underground city is five kilometers underground and is divided into different layers. In addition, the city must be designed differently according to different functions, so 10,000 underground cities are roughly divided into three types. The military type is used for military training, the civilian type is for public life, and the administrative type is used to carry out various messy research work.
Because military and research, etc. require a lot of energy, if mixed with civilian use, it is easy to be insufficient. So it is directly carried out in different dungeons. Of course, there will be factories and farms in the civilian dungeons.
The design has a lot of content, but it is just a design now, and many issues have not been discussed. To build such a behemoth, the construction machinery must also be redesigned and built.
It is really a carnival of the industrial party.
Duran remembered the seeding ship in "Knights of Sidonia", which is also an industrial zone in the universe. As long as it docks, it can immediately burst into soldiers, and produce warships and mechas through automatic factories. As long as there is enough time, weapons can be continuously produced.
Once the wandering plan is passed, it will be the time for the earth's industry to explode. It is estimated that in a few hundred years, human beings' ability to transform nature will be able to advance by leaps and bounds.
At this time, the wandering plan is still under discussion, but the economic account has been calculated, that is, it is cost-effective. Once the wandering plan is passed, a large amount of investment will flow into the real industry, and then the real economy will soar and the unemployment rate will decrease.
The economic account is calculated and it is cost-effective, and the next is the political account. Obviously, planetary engines must have heavy nuclear fusion technology, which only three countries have, and only one country can implement heavy nuclear fusion technology into planetary engines.
The three countries closed the door to discuss and found that if they were to wander, then these three countries would be the undisputed hegemons. As for other countries, they would definitely be finished.
"If we don't wander, the future will be solved through war, and I'm afraid more people will die." This is the conclusion drawn by the three countries after the discussion.
Although braking, escaping, and wandering for 2,500 years will kill many people, but the current state of the earth will definitely lead to war in the future, and people will die at that time. It is a very good opportunity to establish hegemony through the wandering plan and eliminate the barriers between human countries, nations, and cultures.
Of course, there is no need to make too detailed plans, as long as the wandering is roughly implemented, the details can only be improvised. If the plan is too detailed, it will be out of control.
Anyway, the general direction is that whoever masters the heavy nuclear fusion technology will master the hegemony, and they will carry out a set of "helium flash blackmail".
Although scientists cannot guarantee that the sun will be destroyed, just in case and to maximize their interests, the three major countries decided to implement the wandering plan after closed-door discussions. But it is not really wandering, but blackmail.
Just like the Soviet-American nuclear blackmail during the Cold War, it seems like the Soviet-American struggle, but the surrounding small countries are really trembling, and these small countries have to be forced to stand in line.
You must know that at the beginning of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States gave money and technology, but this kind of aid could not be sustained in the long run, and the Soviet Union and the United States would be emptied no matter how rich their wealth was. So in the late Cold War, they had to think of a way to save money but control their younger brothers, that is, nuclear blackmail. The two nuclear powers came one after another, making the whole world panic, and finally they could only hug their thighs to protect themselves.
In this way, Sumei doesn't have to spend money, and I will come to join them.
Now Helium Flash's blackmail is similar. It says that the sun is going to be extinct, and if I don't come to join them, then I won't build the underground city for you.
One is the white face, one is the red face, and the other is to accept the order. If I apply to build an underground city, the order will be given to the only country that can implement the technology. Then this country will subcontract the order project to the whole world.
Three countries, two take orders, one does orders, and everyone has a bright future.
So all the people on the earth knew about the "Wandering Plan" at once, and they also set up "Wandering Schools" around the world to teach technology, and they will go to the construction site immediately after learning.
