Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

Just when most people in the cabinet were more inclined not to do their best to help the parallel world and were preparing to vote, Li Xiangyang from the Ministry of Scientific Research suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"Please wait, wait until I finish speaking and then vote!"

"I know that everyone may be more inclined to put national interests above all else, and feel that unilateral funding of parallel worlds is actually a kind of damage to national interests.

But what I want to say is.

If we take a longer-term view and help parallel planes, it may be beneficial to us. "

"Tell me more about it..." There are actually people present who want to fully support the parallel world, but they are few and weak. At this time, of course, I hope that Li Xiangyang, who is doing research, can give some reasons that are enough to convince more people.

Dora up voted.

And the other cabinet members who disapproved actually didn't mind spending some time listening to Li Xiangyang say a few more words.

"It is undeniable that the current refrigerator can only achieve unilateral transmission. Apart from the contribution, there is no way to obtain any other benefits from there. At most, it can only gain the gratitude of the people and the friendship of the country.

But technology will continue to innovate and progress.

Even if there is no way for refrigerators to evolve, we can still work hard to study refrigerators and find ways to artificially create a new space channel, even to the extent of two-way transmission. Will there be no benefits by then?

How huge is the market in one world.

I think there’s no need to say more!

And in reality, what we need to pay is actually not too much. It’s not that there are disasters every year, and there is not enough food every year. We only need to help them for a year or two at most. Agricultural knowledge, methods of cultivating high-yield food seeds, etc., allow them to achieve self-sufficiency.

If you can secretly help them dominate the world.

There will definitely be more benefits after realizing free trade between both parties. Although these benefits are far away, they are not impossible. Why not give it a try. Compared with the initial investment, you can provide help in times of need and gain friendship.

In the later stage, as long as the transaction between the two parties can be realized.

The benefits are more than ten times or a hundred times! "

It is certain that there is no profit at the moment, so Li Xiangyang can only use future profits to draw a huge pie for all members present.

And the cake he drew is actually not fake.

As long as technology can make breakthroughs, it will succeed, and it can successfully turn the illusory pie into a real pie.

"Xiang Yang, everything you said is based on the illusion that technology can break through. But what if technology can't break through? You know, the current theory of space technology has not been perfected, let alone practical operation.

It may be an exaggeration to say that the current space technology is like a blank piece of paper, but at most it is a piece of white paper with a few points. The international community currently generally agrees that it will be difficult to achieve any practical results within a hundred years, even if we have it in our hands. The refrigerator can unilaterally transport items, but it cannot be disassembled and studied. It may even be that the cause and basis of this thing are completely different from our current scientific system.

Want to make a breakthrough in technology.

I'm afraid it's very difficult.

And once we invest for ten or twenty years, when we retire, we still have no gains and only losses, will it be considered that we made a wrong decision?

Also, if too much manpower and material resources are invested in this area, and there is no technological breakthrough for a long time, will it cause us to start to lag behind other countries in other aspects? Originally, we are inferior to the world's top powers in many aspects. It is much weaker. If some top scientific researchers are separated to engage in space physics that has no results, the risk is very high! "

Nothing in this world is perfect, and nothing is absolutely successful. Everything has the possibility of failure before it is completely successful, so what the Ministry of Finance's blessing said at this time is actually not unreasonable.

No one can guarantee a two-way transaction channel.

The research will definitely be successful.

It would be fine if the research succeeded, but if the research failed or there was no progress for a long time, causing research in other directions to start to lag behind others, and when they die and the coffin is finalized, the mistakes may be blamed on them.

Blame it on their poor decision-making and so on.

It’s not that some elders who are too old don’t know the great benefits of success, but they are almost retiring, and they really don’t want to take this risk. The current development of the country is enough for them to retire with honor.

"In-depth research on the direction of space physics may lead to fewer researchers, or the number of top scientific researchers who study technologies in other directions is not enough. I really have a way to solve it, and I think it is a great benefit to help another Xia country in the parallel world. .

I clearly remember that the refrigerator said that the space channel is only for materials and cannot be traded in both directions, but information can be exchanged through him as a transit.

This undoubtedly means that we can actually communicate with researchers in that country in the parallel world.

Although they are far inferior to us in all aspects, and even lag behind us in technological development, they are behind, not because they are stupid or stupid, but because they have not caught up with the previous two industrial revolutions, blocked by technology, and have no channels to obtain more information. advanced knowledge.

There are many aspects that you need to explore by yourself.

Actual IQ, to put it bluntly, I think the abilities and IQs of those scientific researchers in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China were probably higher than many of our current scientific researchers.

Let’s break down some of the core and important technologies. Many of them were breakthroughs made by the older generation of scientific researchers in the 60s and 70s. The researchers in the 90s and [-]s can only be considered to have conducted some in-depth research on the basis of the original technology, but they must As for any major breakthroughs, they are definitely far inferior to those of the old predecessors.

So what I mean is, if the older generation of scientific researchers at the beginning of the founding of the parallel world were allowed to do research at the same starting point as us, it is very likely that their research progress will be faster than ours.Even if they are not faster than us, if they are allowed to study a certain technology with us, it is equivalent to doubling or at least a third of the number of scientific researchers.

More than enough to make up for the loss of studying space physics.

You can understand what I mean. What I mean is to teach some of the current technical knowledge to the researchers in the parallel world as much as possible, so that they can be at the same level as us and cooperate in research together.

They may not be of much help to us in the first few years, mainly due to our efforts, but as they gradually learn our knowledge, we will be equivalent to tens of thousands more senior researchers.

One more country can help us conduct research together.

Although I don’t want to believe in the theory of metaphysics about national destiny.

But during the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were indeed a large number of talents, not only in our country, but also in the world. It was almost equivalent to a different kind of contention of a hundred schools of thought. Think about it, the older generation of scientific researchers in their youth helped us with our research. , this is such a great honor, and the results will definitely not be any worse. "

Li Xiangyang's thoughts moved very quickly. In just a short time, he thought so much and thought so far.

The most important thing is that it sounds reasonable.

As he finished speaking, many cabinet elders present fell into deep thought. The balance of agreement and disapproval soon turned. It can be seen that most cabinet elders actually quite agree that the older generation of researchers are more capable. .

Maybe it was because the scientific research at that time was purer.

Afterwards, people spoke one after another, and many elders put forward the theory of blood homology. Many of their ancestors are suffering in that world, and their intervention may prevent some scholars from being persecuted and die, and restore the past. some regrets.

Let's take some detours and turn into no detours.

After such a discussion, the final vote was obvious. The majority of cabinet elders agreed to fully help the parallel world. After setting this general policy, they did not need to attend meetings for the following details. Each department would do it on its own. Just an internal meeting.

For example, how much food should be subsidized and what type of materials should be subsidized? Just hold an internal meeting within the General Administration of Food and Oil.

At most, during the meeting, the data of this world in 1960 can be retrieved, and the approximate amount of food needed in that world can be estimated based on the data of this world.

Overall there is no problem.

But there are conflicts in terms of technical support.

The most controversial part is that the Ministry of Scientific Research has great disagreements about which technologies and knowledge are suitable to be directly compiled into textbooks and given to the parallel world, and which technologies and knowledge should not be given to them.

Some people believe that it is simple and convenient to directly copy all current scientific and technological knowledge. It can also avoid them taking detours and get it right in one step.

But some people think that not only is this counterproductive, but it can actually only create a technological system similar to theirs. It will not be of much help to them in the future. It is better to provide some basic knowledge and provide some general directions. There is no divergent knowledge, and others give them several different directions, allowing them to study and develop on their own.

For example, there are currently two development directions for nuclear fusion, one is inertial confinement and the other is magnetic confinement. In addition, there are many ignition methods. Some choose to take the laser route, and some choose to take the stellarator route. However, At present, no one can be sure of success.

Even if it is determined that inertial constraint or magnetic constraint can be successful in the future, it does not mean that another method cannot be successful.

It's just that there may be some way to take the lead.

A certain research team suddenly had an idea.

However, research in a certain direction takes the first step. After success, many research institutions or countries may give up on the direction that failed, but have not determined the direction that failed, and instead specialize in the direction that succeeded. Ultimately, the entire world's scientific research The system extends downwards in the direction of success.

Therefore, in the opinion of some researchers, if their technological system is completely copied to the opposite world, then no matter how the opposite world develops, it will only develop the same as them, and it will not bring them much inspiration and help at all. It is not in vain. Blind adventure.

Therefore, they feel that some scientific research directions that they failed to continue researching due to various reasons are actually not without the possibility of success.

You can definitely let Xia Guo in parallel time and space try it.

For example, Chinese language system programming.

Another example is the original old direction, but the domestic chips died due to various reasons such as the impact of a large number of cheap foreign chips, lack of scientific research personnel, and lack of investment.

These can all be studied and tried by the other side.

Success is the best, and there is no loss if you fail.

Opponents mainly think that doing so will affect the learning progress of the other side. If the research direction is different, there will be no way to communicate and cooperate normally!

I have to say that this is actually a question of short-term and long-term benefits. In terms of short-term benefits, it is obvious that the existing technology system here is directly copied and let Xia Guo, who is in parallel time and space, learn. It is easiest to see benefits, and within ten years at most, you should be able to obtain a large number of top scientific researchers to cooperate with them in research.

But if the timeline is stretched to 50 or 100 years, it is clear that two countries that have developed different technological systems along different routes can gain more benefits and inspiration after colliding with each other.

In addition, no matter where other countries join forces to impose technological blockades or patent barriers, they can also rely on the achievements of the other side in different directions to break the blockade.

For example, there is a blockade on silicon-based chip technology here.

Carbon-based chip technology will be available immediately on the other side.

Naturally, the blockade has no effect and is in vain.

For another example, one side focuses on the development of biomedical technology, and the other side focuses on the development of biogenetic technology.

The mutual communication between the two sides is undoubtedly 1+1>2.

So from a long-term point of view, it must be the latter. The two sides develop in different directions, and the income is higher, and the longer the time, the higher the income.

Li Xiangyang is obviously not the only one who has a long-term vision. After a week of controversy, those researchers who chose a long-term vision finally made up the majority, and began to dig deeper into some research without success, but there was no clear failure, just Because the other direction has been successful first, the projects that have been shelved or stopped are sorted out and prepared to be sent to the Xia Kingdom in the parallel world after a period of time.

Let them see if they can continue research on this basis. If they can really shelve or research most of the suspended scientific research projects, it will definitely be enough to make the entire scientific and technological system of Xia Kingdom in the parallel world move towards a completely different direction from theirs. , another branch.

At this time, the General Administration of Food and Oil had not only calculated how much food support was needed, but also specially processed the food and added some essential elements and nutrients for the human body to ensure that the food was not only satiating, but also Problems such as malnutrition can also be properly adjusted, and everything is ready.

Just wait to send things over, or just wait to get in touch with the official on the other side and send things over.
