Chapter 839: Stand Still, the Sea Roars (Part 1)
In fact, it is exactly what Lei Luo, the president of the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences in the wasteland, worried about.
While the academic community dispatched Bai Lan to try to find the location of the tidal civilization before the war and launch the 'Time Stagnation' plan, the headquarters of Tranquility Bay, where the tidal civilization was located, finally lost control after the internal conflict between the birthers and the hawks. A huge amount of resources were gathered and a plan was launched to rebuild the Leviathan III hyperspacecraft.
Regarding the construction technology of the Leviathan-class hyperspacecraft, Tidal Civilization has already mastered it after experiencing the construction of three ships.
They have even optimized the internal details to the limit of their capabilities.
However, after experiencing this internal war, the Tidal Civilization's Tranquility Bay headquarters is no longer satisfied with repeatedly building Leviathan-class aircraft. They are determined to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a general attack on the Sea Roar Project that has been prepared for more than three hundred years. , and apply this new technology to the new Leviathan III.
then.
The most senior rulers of the Tranquility Bay headquarters summoned the chief scientist of the Tide Elf Science Group.
"Tranquility Bay has announced the reconstruction of Sea Beast III, and we have decided to carry out a revolutionary upgrade of Sea Beast III to use it as the supreme barrier to protect the ecological security of Tranquility Bay. Therefore, we need you to lead the scientific team to complete the sea roar as soon as possible For the planned research breakthrough and practical test, please give the exact time for the resource and technology breakthrough required for the experiment."
A high-ranking ruler of the tide elves spoke to the chief scientist of the tide elves through the ripples of life fluid.
But the ripples reported back by tidal scientists are full of irony.
"Although the Sea Roar Project has lasted for more than three hundred years and has been explored successively by four chief scientists, during this period of more than three hundred years, the Sea Roar Project has received pitifully little Tranquility Bay funding, only It can only barely maintain the minimum level of research. It is simply impossible to achieve a breakthrough in a short time!"
No wonder the chief scientist is so sarcastic.
Nearly every generation of leading scientists has extolled the importance of the roar of the sea.
Once the plan is successful, it will inevitably cause a civilizational change in tidal civilization.
But for more than three hundred years, no matter how these chief scientists emphasized, the resources that the Tranquility Bay headquarters could provide could only sustain the continuous research of the Sea Roar Project to this extent.
As a talented explorer, he knows very well how desperate the persistence in the hearts of successive chief scientists of tidal civilization is.
These talented geniuses, because they did not receive full support from society, had to waste their limited lives and waste their lifelong talents on theoretical experimental speculations. Each of them has developed data Sexual experimentation has been lost in history.
Isn't it true for itself?
According to the lifespan of the Tide Elf, it is already very old. It doesn't know how long it can live.
For most of its life, it has been waiting hard every day, constantly telling its desires to the top management and preaching the crisis to the people. Tidal civilization still needs to continue to progress, and members of the scientific team need more resources.
But no matter which time, he came back disappointed.
"Do you know what it will mean for Tranquility Bay if the headquarters of Tranquility Bay agrees to your previous demand for Sea Roar resources? That will mean reducing the breeding plan by at least 100,000 per year, and this will last for decades. The result will definitely be obtained, which will mean that Tranquility Bay will face a huge threat of internal chaos, which means that Tranquility Bay will reduce the construction plan of five Seabird-class aircraft every year, and Tidal Civilization will reduce one Sea Beast-class aircraft in about twenty years. Time warship!"
The Tide Elf executive angrily rebuked the chief scientist.
In its eyes, these members of the scientific team are just a group of hungry ghosts who only know how to endlessly ask for resources from the headquarters. No matter how much resources are invested, they will be swallowed up by them, and there is no guarantee of results.
This is simply a group of vicious wolves that eat people but don't spit out bones. They cannot understand the difficulties faced by the Tranquility Bay headquarters and the hardships faced by the Tide Elf society.
They only know endless requests!
But the chief scientist was equally angry.
"But it turns out that with the same resources, the combat effectiveness of one Sea Beast-class hyperspacecraft has far exceeded that of 100 Seabird-class aircraft. After so many years, the accumulated reports on the original scientific and technological exploration have far exceeded It’s a lot of investment, isn’t it? It’s precisely because of the Leviathan-class hyperspacecraft that we have been able to enjoy such a long period of peace, and we can have such a huge population, isn’t it!”
In the eyes of the chief scientist, it simply cannot understand these short-sighted people.
A group of guys who only care about immediate interests!
They simply don’t understand what huge changes it will bring to social civilization every time the technology tree is upgraded to a higher level!
They even believe that scientific exploration must be like building an aircraft, and the resources invested must be returned immediately. They even suspect that the diligent scientific team is corrupt, and that the experimental process is setting off boring fireworks and using magic. He kept asking them for weird excuses.
They impose all kinds of dirty ideas on the scientific team.
If it weren't for its mission and responsibility, it would have had enough!
"Stop arguing."
Sudden.
Another tide elf ruler persuaded.
Its status among the tide elves seemed to be unshakably noble. After a ripple appeared on it, the surrounding tide elves fell silent.
The tidal elf said to the chief scientist again: "After so many years, Tranquility Bay Headquarters has really failed you. With our limited vision and wisdom, we cannot understand everything you said, but please understand. As rulers, in this society full of laws and ethics, we must be responsible for all the tide elves, and we need to let all the tide elves live as good a life as possible. After all, we will face the resources consumed after every scientific exploration fails. Questions from millions of people..."
The chief scientist was silent.
It itself is not one of the millions of Tide Elves.
After returning home and losing its halo as chief scientist, the problems it faced were also the adjustment of the rationing rate of life fluids and the increasing shortage of living quarters.
What qualifications does it have to blame the other party for not giving it full support when it does not understand the huge difficulties faced by the other party?
Thinking of this, the chief scientist gradually calmed down.
"But scientific exploration is an experimental process that requires huge resource consumption. The world is objective and materialistic. I cannot carry out scientific exploration without the support of material foundation."
"I see."
After the ruler responded calmly, he slowly said: "If Tranquility Bay will allocate the resources of ten Seabird-class aircraft to the scientific group every year from now on, then according to your speculation, in how many years will the Sea Roar Project achieve breakthrough progress? ?”
"The resources of ten Seabird-class aircraft!"
Chief Scientist Wen heard this and murmured again in surprise.
"If this is the case, I am confident that we will make a breakthrough in the Sea Roar Project within thirty years and try to put this technology into practical use on Sea Beast 3!"
From the perspective of the chief scientist, the breakthrough technological progress achieved by the Sea Roar Project in the past thirty years is undoubtedly a quite exaggerated figure. It can only do its best to make a pass through the almost ethereal probability in its eyes. The number you can imagine after doing your best.
"Thirty years!!"
"Thirty years..."
But in the view of the rulers at the headquarters, this is equivalent to using the resources of three Leviathan-class hyperspacecrafts in exchange for a breakthrough in the Sea Roar Project, and it is impossible to ensure a 100% breakthrough in thirty years?
Thirty years is really too slow!
In their previous speech, they promised the public to apply the latest technology on the Sea Beast 3 hyperspacecraft!
"If...the headquarters increases the annual resource allocation to thirty Seabird-class aircraft, can the breakthrough time of the Sea Roar Project be shortened to less than ten years?"
Following the inquiry from the headquarters veteran, the surroundings were in complete chaos.
"Resources for thirty Seabird-class aircraft per year?"
"Where can we invest so many resources?"
"Are we going to increase the breeding quota for life-producing liquids again? We can no longer endure another chaos!"
Everyone was chattering, and ripples in the headquarters were densely agitated. It was obviously difficult for them to accept such a huge resource allocation ratio. This would definitely have a huge impact on the tidal civilized society, and even the prestige of the Tranquility Bay headquarters.
"No! With all due respect, even if you give me three times the resources, the time cost required for scientific exploration is far from being offset by the cost of resources!"
In everyone's disbelief, the chief scientist responded like this.
He was already despairing of the whimsical imagination of these veterans. Could it be that if someone could increase resources three million times, would he achieve a technological breakthrough in one day?
"oh?"
The voice said calmly: "So, how much time can you shorten? If it is still thirty years, of course we cannot accept it."
The chief scientist was silent for a while.
It seems to be thinking carefully about every detail, every probability, every method.
In the end, it responded solemnly: "I think I can only try my best to shorten this time to about fifteen years."
The chief scientist naturally knew that its answer did not satisfy many rulers here, but it did not want to give up.
More than three hundred years.
The Sea Roar research project, which has always been in theoretical research, can finally obtain resource support for field exploration and development for the first time. It certainly does not want to give up this exploration dream that has lasted for four generations of scientific groups, which will bring tidal civilization to the top of the technological tree. Then light up the mystery of the deeper laws of the world of a fruit.
in this way.
The chief scientist added: "I know you are not satisfied with this answer, but this is the scientific answer we can do. Scientific exploration is a great process of revealing the secrets of the world's operating order. We are only mortals. Wisdom, but the laws that govern the world are created by God, we are stealing God’s power!”
No wonder some people say that the end of science is theology.
At least for the chief scientist of Tide Elf, if he cannot resort to theology, he may not be able to get the support of these elders of Tranquility Bay headquarters at this moment!
finally.
The Sea Roar research and development plan has finally received full support from the Tranquility Bay headquarters.
Three hundred years later, after four generations of Tide Elf scientists, through unremitting efforts, they were finally able to obtain a huge amount of resources for them to conduct digital experiments.
