This system is a bit cold, a technological powerhouse

Chapter 59 Planning for Future Space Exploration
For Chu Ming, the quantum technology in the system is as timely as rain after a long drought.

If there is no quantum communication, Chu Ming is really planning to send people to explore the universe. Although it is really dangerous, even if Chu Ming does enough to protect the personnel, there will be casualties in the end.

But now with quantum communication technology, there is no need for personnel to conduct field operations, as long as it is treated as a virtual reality game that can simulate the real environment with real feedback in the game box.

Quantum communication is like the key to unlock the shackles of the development of the people of the blue stars, so that the steps of the people of the blue stars to explore the universe will no longer be bound by the body.

Of course, Chu Ming would not let the people of the Azure Star just develop the universe like a game on the Azure Star.

Because Chu Ming has the ability and technology to allow the people of the Great Xia to live a life without worrying about food and clothing. After the comprehensive development of the universe, the Great Xia will no longer have any life pressure, and the population will grow rapidly.

This kind of population explosion will inevitably cause the ecological pressure of the Azure Star to rise sharply, and once a certain critical value is exceeded, the ecology of the Azure Star will inevitably eat back the people of the Azure Star.

Of course Chu Ming would not let this happen, and people are also the decisive factor in the speed of development of the universe.

Since population growth is inevitable for space exploration and development, interstellar migration is a must.

Now that Chu Ming's scientific and technological strength wants to complete the interstellar voyage, although it can be realized, the time required for the voyage is a bit too long.

For example, the astronomers at the Cold Lake Astronomical Observation Base recently observed a planet similar to the blue star - Shi Shenxing, which is more than ten light-years away from the blue star.

According to the fastest spaceship that Chu Ming can manufacture now, its speed can only reach two-thirds of the speed of light. A year of slowdown time.

If this is really an interstellar immigration with a spaceship of this speed, by the time the spaceship arrives, it is estimated that some grandchildren of the immigrants will have already run all over the place.

When these immigrants get old and want to return to the Azure Star, they have to set off 20 years in advance. Based on the average age of 80, they will arrive in their 20s at the age of 40, and return to the Azure Star in their 60s and 80s.

If Shi Shenxing really wanted to immigrate like this, he would basically have to choose those who didn't want to come back.

Chu Ming didn't want such a situation to happen, and there were two solutions, one was to increase the speed of navigation, and the other was to prolong the lifespan of the Azure Stars.

The first method to increase the speed of navigation is that no matter how fast it is, it will not reach the speed of light. The mass of objects close to the speed of light will be infinitely enlarged, and even if it reaches the speed of light, it will not be much faster.

The aerospace engine technology that Chu Ming has now mastered can be said to be the highest engine technology of Azure Star at this stage, but it is impossible to use the propellant engine to propel the flight to the speed of light or beyond the speed of light. After all, the rules of this universe are already in the speed An upper limit is set, which is the speed of light.

Now if you want to achieve the effect of sailing beyond the speed of light, you need to consider other methods.

The Celestials have also proposed several methods in theory. At present, some people think that the curvature engine technology may be successful.

The simple explanation of this technology is to move the space carrying the spacecraft in a certain way, so as to achieve the effect of exceeding the speed of light, just like a person walking in a car, the spaceship is the person and the space is the car.

But nuclear fusion cannot meet the capability required by this method. In fact, Chu Ming does not think this method can be successful.

The method Chu Ming agrees with is similar to the space shuttle of space wormholes, that is, to achieve ultra-long-distance instant arrival by passing through space-time tunnels such as wormholes.

Of course, Chu Ming doesn't have any feasible method to conduct actual verification, but this method is feasible in theoretical simulation.

After all, the system has completed quantum communication, a point-to-point communication without time and space restrictions. According to this situation, there should be countless interconnected wormhole channels in the universe.

Chu Ming will never stop in the research of science and technology. There are countless secrets in the unknown starry sky waiting for the blue star people to explore.

In the universe, are the Celestials a lonely existence, or there are countless other civilizations that are more brilliant than the Celestial Civilization.

These puzzles that have plagued Wei Lanxing for a long time are waiting for Chu Ming to solve them.

Moreover, Chu Ming firmly believes that even without the help of the system now, he can still improve the technology of Azure Star to a very high level by relying on his own super brain. As long as Chu Ming exists, the progress of science will not stop.

Of course, people from the Azure Star have a lifespan limit. Even Chu Ming cannot live forever, but Chu Ming also believes that with the power of science, the limit of the lifespan of the Azure Star can be broken.

This is also the main direction that Chuming is currently investing heavily in research and development - biological genetic engineering.

The limit lifespan of the Celestials is calculated based on the number of cell divisions.

The upper limit of cell division of ordinary Celestial people is about [-] times. In this way, even with the best living conditions and perfect conditions without any diseases, people will still die of aging due to the termination of cell division.

The number of cell divisions depends on the length of the telomeres of the chromosomes. Cells with long telomeres can divide more times, and people may live longer. Short telomeres are the opposite.

Chu Ming wanted to use a method to repair the telomeres of the chromosomes, so that the length of the telomeres can always be maintained at the age of young and middle-aged people. In theory, people can live forever and stay young forever.

But a theory is always a theory, and it is difficult to complete in practice. Now Chu Ming's research team has found a method to modify and compile chromosome fragments through experiments, but this method is still very unstable and can easily cause chromosome collapse. .

This experiment is still far from successful.

But since there is a way, as long as it is improved, there will always be a day of success.

Chu Ming also simulated this method with Xiao Ru, and he also knew that the idea of ​​this method was correct, but when it was implemented, the genetic scissors, which are equivalent to operating on chromosomes, would always fail to complete the specified method due to some other influences. operation.

It's like a patient undergoing appendicitis surgery asked the doctor to directly cut out a kidney, which is not bad. If the heart is directly removed, the person will be gone immediately.

Chu Ming's research team was faced with such a problem, how to let the genetic scissors complete its designated tasks without interference, instead of being a random doctor.

These problems have been greatly improved after Chu Ming joined, at least the heart will not be removed directly, but the follow-up improvement really cannot be completed in a day or two.
