Chapter 845: A $10,000 Reward

That night, Keluo University's bbs had already been screened by the inexplicable public elective course - "Cosmology".

Many students with good deeds made videos of their classes and uploaded them to campus forums, personal space, and even internationally renowned video sites such as Youtube. For a while, it became a hot topic of discussion on various social platforms such as Future Ren 10, Scarf, and Moments.

"Cosmology? Hold the grass, full marks for this pretense!"

"The Future Group is going to heaven!"

"Shoulder to the sun!"

"Extraterrestrial civilization? This subject is so f*ckingly simple! It must be that... dark forest! Give me ten thousand dollars!"

"It seems that the space colonization plan announced by the Star Ring Trade is not a fool. Even something as mysterious as the exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations has been used to set up a special subject. If it is not a 'one-way ticket', I would like to try it." try……"

Compared with the hot discussion on the Internet, many news and self-media have also published similar headlines full of gimmicks, and reported this matter with different focuses.

"As of noon so far, the number of aerospace volunteer immigration applications has doubled compared to last month. If the aerospace training base is not expanded, I am afraid that the training grounds will not be enough. Or should we temporarily close it and open it to the public?" Kerr Wen suggested to Jiang Chen.

"No need," Jiang Chen shook his head, "If you don't have enough money, go to the finance department to apply. The early stage of aerospace is a project that loses money, so don't worry too much about it. As long as every penny is spent where it should be spent, you don't have to." Be kind to me."

"Yes." Kerwin heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

To be honest, the entire group has been losing money with regard to the project department he leads, and the loss is particularly severe, all of which are burning money in units of tens of billions of dollars! Although Jiang Chen kept telling him not to worry about money and just build the space elevator, it was absolutely impossible to say that he didn't have any psychological burden.

After Kerwin left, Jiang Chen put his work documents aside, turned on his watch, clicked on his mailbox, and browsed through the homework submitted by his students.

Perhaps because of the $10,000 bonus, the homework submitted by all the students was serious! Especially the overseas Chinese students, who have inherited the fine tradition of education in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, wrote essays with more than 100,000 words, cited dozens of documents, and finally wrote down their own conclusions, and finally attached a teacher You have worked hard.

While Jiang Chen was moved, he was also extremely ashamed.

He was negligent,

I should tell these students that I only need to submit a conjecture, and there is no need to write a lot of proofs, because this kind of problem has never happened, no matter how many previous documents are cited, it is impossible to get an absolute answer .

He just wanted to take this opportunity to find out what most people think about alien contact.

After ordering Jane to retrieve all the papers, list the central ideas of each paper, and sort them according to certain rules.

A total of 1,173 papers were submitted, and Jiang Chen unexpectedly harvested 87 completely different viewpoints.

Perhaps because they have been influenced by political correctness all the year round, many students from the West, especially those from Western Europe, put forward views that are generally more of the Virgin Mary.

Some people proposed to set up a special ecological protection zone on the earth to accept these extraterrestrial visitors. Or set up an embassy to resolve possible differences between the two sides through dialogue. Some people also said that it may be inappropriate to set up an extraterrestrial civilization protection zone on the earth. After all, they are not sure whether the other party is suitable for the atmospheric environment. Maybe the oxygen we rely on for survival is poison to them. They should be placed on the moon, or on Mars...

For students from Asia, the answers tend to be more conservative.

That is, before believing that the other party has good intentions, first doubt whether the other party is hostile.

This may be related to being on the invaded side in modern wars. When facing foreign civilizations, Asian civilizations are more vigilant, and they are more inclined to show their weapons before showing their olive branches.

Someone suggested that no matter what purpose the other party has, we can "shoot" him from a distance first. If they are still alive, then we are considering contacting them. Some people also pointed out that communication and dialogue are necessary, but the premise is that the force of earth civilization must be shown to the other party. That is, send out the fleet of the earth civilization to welcome them with military prestige.

But there are also pessimists who suggest that if they cannot resist, they should build their own colony ships to escape, at least let some people run out, away from the solar system to find a new home...

There are also some interesting viewpoints pointing out that since the opponent is capable of star voyage, it has been proved that the opponent's technological level is higher than ours. Instead of trying to contact or fight against it, it is better to think about how to show cuteness to please aliens. Being a pet is much better than being a domestic animal...

There are also some female students who didn't talk about it at all, but just posted photos of themselves without any trace of photoshopping in the email, and asked side-by-side, "Are you free on weekend nights?" "Can you take me for a ride?" If you are coquettish...

Looking at these viewpoints, Jiang Chen just smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Excluding the boring stuff, opinions can be divided into three categories in total.

The main peace faction, the main war faction, and the main surrender faction.

Then, those papers that obviously did not intend to answer the questions were eliminated. Jiang Chen found that among these students, the surrender faction accounted for 50%, and the peace faction also accounted for 30%. Only those who supported armed resistance accounted for only 20%. That's all.

Moreover, among the 2 adults, the views are also slightly wavering.

After all, not to mention the spaceship, even the "dry dock" of the spaceship - the space elevator has not yet been built.

Although many people are very optimistic when they write, they think that when the earth civilization contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations, there will definitely be spaceships, giant ships and cannons. But they don't know much about how to possess these magical weapons...

"Is it too early?" Jiang Chen muttered to himself, and turned his attention to the world map hanging on the office wall.

If this issue were left to the United Nations to decide, what conclusion would they eventually draw?

To meet the destruction with hope, or to abandon unrealistic fantasies and fight decisively, or to fight with one's own people first?

Everything is unknown.

He has a way to prove that the colonial ship is on the way, all he needs is an astronomical telescope, and he even knows the coordinates anyway. But he has no way to prove its aggressiveness, and he has no confidence to convince everyone that the colonial ship is full of hostility.

Randomly selected ten representative papers and gave them a qualified evaluation. Jiang Chen transferred US$10,000 to the accounts of the ten lucky winners.

That might be a lot of money for these students, but it wasn't much for him.

Although it is a bit regrettable, as far as it is concerned, it is not the best time to disclose the harmonious civilization coordinates and colonial ship information. (To be continued.)
