Li Yao was deeply shocked by the time from ancient times to the future.
He originally thought that the so-called "tombstone project" or "kindling project" was just one of the hundreds of whimsical plans thrown out by the Federation a hundred years ago under the pressure of the Empire and the holy alliance.
At least until he left, it was.
The tombstone project is a "fugitive solution" derived from "absolute defeatism", which was doomed to have no market in front of the mainstream trend of thought of the Federation at that time.
Even Yaoshi group, controlled by Li Yao, only gave a symbolic start-up fund to the tombstone project in the face of GUI wengshou, and let the project go on its own.
The original leader of the tombstone project, GUI Weishou, is not good at practical operation.
He was a historian, barely half a sociologist, or, in the more fashionable words of the time, a "civilized scientist.".
He was able to put forward a series of theories that were very important and mysterious, which made people dumbfounded. But how to put these theories into practice is not the old tortoise''s strong point.
Therefore, until Lee left the Federation, the tombstone project did not make much progress, and it seems that no substantial results will be achieved in the foreseeable decades, just on paper.
I didn''t expect that today, one hundred years later, the tombstone project has changed into the kindling project, which has developed to the point where the first batch of "kindling" can be launched!
Just from the time tunnel created by this three-dimensional light curtain, we can see the ambition contained in the "fire". They really want to condense the origin, development, peak and future of human civilization in a flash and pass it on to the new race hundreds of millions of years later!
And
In this "time tunnel", archaea is replaced by green algae, green algae is replaced by trilobites, trilobites is replaced by niben fish, niben fish is replaced by dinosaurs, dinosaurs are replaced by apes, and apes are replaced or eliminated by humans.
Until the last scene, humans are replaced and eliminated by some silvery white spheres - what does that mean?
Li Yao fell into deep thinking and had a kind of uncomfortable feeling.
Immediately and dumbfounded smile, laugh oneself whether too sensitive?
If there is something hidden, it will not be displayed so openly!
At this time, long Yangjun said to Ling Xiaole with a smile: "I heard that in the age of Guxiu forty thousand years ago, many ancient sects had magic array in front of the mountain gate, so that visitors could feel the illusory image of the magnificent and powerful, and could not help but have awe of this sect.
"At that time, Shanmen magic array represented the strength of a sect!
"In many ancient books, the illusory array of the rich and powerful families is described as extravagant and bizarre, just like opening up a new world in front of the mountain gate.
"I thought the ancients exaggerated, but today I saw the" modern magic array "in front of the" Mountain Gate "of the fire base, and I knew that the ancients really didn''t deceive me!
"Just from the layout of this" modern magic array ", we can see that the" kindling plan "is very big. It''s strange that such a grand super plan, which runs through hundreds of millions of years, has rarely been heard of before? Tomorrow will be the first fire launch, but the outside news media, not much report, this is too low-key, right
Ling Xiaole said: "the kindling plan is very low-key and mysterious. Even I don''t know their inside story. To be honest, if it wasn''t for the two of you, my secret swordsman of this level would not be qualified to come in.
"Even two of you can''t just come in and visit. In principle, the" kindling plan "is not entirely a government project. Professor Mo Xuan owns an absolute majority of the shares, and most of the funds are invested by him. This base is almost his private property. Therefore, Professor Mo Xuan agrees that you can come here."
"Oh?"
Long Yangjun blinked, "is there anything here to keep secret?"
"It''s not a secret."
Ling Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "how to say, the predecessor of the kindling project is the tombstone project, and the word" tombstone "sounds rather unlucky. In fact, it''s a plan of defeatism and escapism. It''s not even a plan of escape. It''s equivalent to saying," anyway, we are all going to die. Just carve a beautiful tombstone and send it out as a memorial, Then you should die. "You two think that with the vitality, prosperity and rising of the Federation, it is the best golden age. Who would like to know about this plan?"
Long Yangjun pondered for a moment, happy: "this is also, where the crow mouth will not be popular."
Ling Xiaole nodded and said: "yes, the public prefers those plans that are passionate and impassioned, and the government doesn''t want the tombstone plan to be exposed too much, which will hurt everyone''s morale - human civilization is doomed to perish in hundreds of millions of years. This kind of saying is too nihilistic, and no one likes to hear it.
"The public doesn''t like to listen to it, and the government doesn''t want to publicize it. It''s impossible for the project to keep a low profile.
"More importantly, even as a" defeatist "plan, it is impossible for us to know whether it will eventually" succeed ". I mean" we "not only for our generation, but also for all the people of the whole human civilization from the past to the future."
Long Yangjun frowned: "I don''t understand..."
"For example, they are going to launch the first" kindling "tomorrow. Naturally, our deep space navigation technology is very mature, and there will be no problem with the launching of kindling."
Ling Xiaole said, "but this fire is set to drift in the sea of stars for at least a few million years, to find a new race after a few million years. Then, can this fire drift in the universe for millions of years without damage? Will everything contained in the fire, including Wei Qingqing, disappear? Can she find a suitable planet and find new life, Or drifting forever in the desolate universe?
"And even if she finds a new life, is it a carbon based multicellular life like us, with flesh and blood, which can understand our civilization, or something... Strange and mysterious?
"If there is a planet with a temperature difference of more than 500 degrees between day and night, and its surface is covered with lakes of metal solution, in which some kind of life is born, I can hardly believe that it can understand and accept the inheritance of human civilization.
"We can''t give an answer to all these questions now. It will probably take a million years, 10 million years or even 100 million years to get an answer.
"The two of you feel that this kind of" kindling plan "which is meaningless to" at this moment "will not arouse the interest of the public and the press?
"In addition, Professor Mo Xuan''s personality is really a bit lonely, deliberately keeping a low profile, and did not publicize and invite the media. He refused to interview and observe several major media. Only the federal army, the Parliament and our secret sword bureau sent some guests to watch the ceremony. To be honest, I was surprised that he could agree to the visit of the two."
Long Yangjun a smile: "we have what special?"
Ling Xiaole said: "Professor Mo Xuan said that the kindling plan is a plan of escapism, and you Xinghai Republic stream... The orthodox government has been on the run for thousands of years, hasn''t it? We are all fugitives in a certain sense. Maybe you will understand the connotation of kindling plan and have a common language with him? So, he''d like to see the VIPs from firefly and have a chat with you. "
Long Yangjun and Li Yao looked at each other and said, "it''s a great honor for us. It sounds like Professor Mo Xuan is a rather eccentric person. I''ve seen a debate between him and Professor Xie Wufeng about Dayi Tongling net and virtual life, and I''m deeply impressed by him.
"Why did Professor Mo Xuan, instead of doing research on the unified spirit net and virtual life, lead the kindling plan?"
Ling Xiaole shook his head, bit his lip and said, "I don''t know the details. It seems that Professor Mo Xuan suffered a major setback in the" Lingwang and virtual life project "and gave up halfway, but somehow he transferred all his enthusiasm and even his whole life''s efforts to the" kindling plan. ".
"In fact, before Professor Mo Xuan joined us, the original tombstone project was in a semi paralyzed state. The initial investor Yaoshi group spent almost all the start-up funds. The project leader GUI wengshou was a pure theorist. He was not good at promoting such a large-scale, multi-level complex project, and he didn''t have a very wide network of people, This kind of defeatist project is very unlucky, and not many elite soldiers are willing to join.
"After all, every aspect of the Federation at that time was thriving, and there were countless exciting projects and plans. As long as there were talents and some places to use, why should we devote our whole life to such a plan of absolute defeatism and escapism?
"Seeing that the tombstone project is about to come to an end, Professor Mo Xuan joined in strongly, bought out the project from Gui wengshou, and reorganized it into" kindling project ".
"In the past 100 years, Professor Mo Xuan has served as the president of the Dahuang war academy, the president of the Federal Association of alchemists, the president of the federal ghost Repair Association, and so on. He has personally led the promotion and implementation of dozens of large-scale projects. His experience and contacts in the circle are not comparable.
"Moreover, Professor Mo Xuan has invested all his wealth, even sold his shares in Yaoshi group and the authorization of all the magic weapons designed and refined in his life, including" Xuangu battle armor ", and raised a large sum of money to invest in the kindling plan!
"With his strong joining and continuous capital flow, he soon set up an experienced team and established this base. The fire plan came back to life in a thousand miles, and in just a few decades, it was fruitful!"
