Deep Space Fleet

What Li Zhendong said is correct. Humans are social creatures after all. The gradual reduction of the same kind is like the gradual withering of leaves on a big tree, and the rest of the leaves will also have a similar sense of uneasiness.

Even Zhang Yuan would have similar thoughts. Seeing his friends falling asleep one by one always gave him the illusion of being abandoned by the times.

Once eating in the cafeteria, he suddenly found that he was the only one in the cafeteria except for the tireless robots.

He didn't know how to describe that feeling of loneliness, so he could only be in a daze for a while, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand.

Didn't have the appetite to eat anything at all.

When the conscious population fell below 10,000, basically all the functions that should be closed were closed, including most of the laboratories and industrial areas, and only the most basic needs for survival were kept.

All the population has been merged into District A, and the merger of popularity has made the surrounding atmosphere a little more lively

Each is assigned a small house suspended on a large centrifugal wheel, similar to the one on Europa. At 11 o'clock at night, the entire Ferris wheel will rotate, equivalent to simulating the gravity of the earth.

As for the large ring-shaped living area of ​​the Earth Age itself, the rotation speed will be reduced to one-twentieth of the standard speed, and it takes more than half an hour to rotate a little more.

The reduction in angular velocity means that the simulated equivalent gravity is only 0.22 times that of the earth.

No way, there is no machinery that can work normally in space for 3,000 years. If the central bearing of the Earth Age is too worn and breaks down, the personnel in the spacecraft alone cannot repair it.

Only by spinning slowly like a snail can we survive the long time.

In addition to the new task of the nuclear power plant, Zhang Yuan's spare time learning task is to be responsible for the turbulence monitoring of the nuclear fusion engine.

In fact, it is a very boring and idle thing. It has been more than 30 years since the second-generation engine was born, and the control method has been perfected for a long time. Usually, there will not be too many mistakes.

And he himself no longer wants to continue studying turbulence.

In other words, even he himself feels that there is no way to make better and stronger results in this field.

On the other hand, Senior Brother Zhao next door, in his free time, has been reading younger manga next to him, which is simply eye-popping. Perhaps his wife and the girls in the lab hibernated, revealing his true nature.

It turns out that Senior Brother Zhao is such a boring person.

"Zhang Yuan." In this idleness, Senior Brother Zhao suddenly said: "Scientific research is no longer needed in the spaceship. You have to relax, really relax, otherwise you may be depressed with such a small population. My book "Pirate King" "It's still a genuine comic, do you want to lend it to you?"

Zhang Yuandao: "Learning makes me happy."

"Ahem," Senior Brother Zhao immediately returned to seriousness: "I also think that this job is too easy for you. Maybe you can do some more difficult jobs. I have four directions for you to recommend..."

"Four directions?"

"First, the new industrial standard design, some very trivial and complicated mathematical calculations, if you want, you can go to Academician Ding to pick up some tasks."

"Second, learn some knowledge about the spacecraft control system. I believe that the scientific committee will grant you higher authority. Of course, the more people who understand spacecraft control engineering, the better, and it will be more convenient to take turns during hibernation."

"Third, write some doctoral dissertations and obtain a doctorate. Your current level of knowledge has theoretically reached the doctoral level, but it is still not enough without theses. In the case that all laboratories are closed, I suggest that you can switch to science. Do some mathematics, or work on the history of new civilizations."

Senior Brother Zhao talked eloquently: "Especially the history of new civilizations, if you are interested in this subject, you can consider self-study... Well... this school is actually quite interesting. The Science Council also intends to absorb you..."

"New civilization school?" Zhang Yuan has never been interested in politics, "I don't have any political beliefs, can I join this school?"

Zhao Qingfeng raised his head and glanced at him: "You know, it's a bit different from the usual ones. The New Civilization School is a cosmic sociology that pursues truth and logic. It doesn't have too complicated and old-fashioned political ideas, otherwise it would have been a long time ago. Confiscated by the ruling class of the earth..."

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, as if this was indeed the case.

But he still didn't say a word, why should he say that his ideas are the truth?

Sure enough, Senior Brother Zhao said with a smile: "As I said a few days ago, the core content of the New Civilization School is pure mathematics. I don't know whether mathematics is the ultimate truth, but it may be the closest something of truth."

"We use calculations to generate decisions for the entire civilization, and this decision has a high probability of being the global optimal solution, not a local optimal solution. There will be no situation where it is very applicable now and very bad in the future."

"This kind of decision-making is not comparable to a certain leader who slapped his head and came up with a self-righteous method..."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said in confusion: "A civilized decision-making is all subject to calculation. Your idea is of course very good. You don't even need the ruling class."

"However, how should it be calculated? How to ensure the accuracy of the algorithm? The calculation is also given by humans. How to ensure the impartiality of the humans themselves? Can artificial intelligence calculations be used to produce decisions that convince the public?"

"I think it is difficult for ordinary people to accept that the fate is handed over to algorithms and calculations. They will be skeptical and don't like this kind of controlled behavior. Human beings can be ruled by other people, but it is impossible Ruled by AI..."

"Yeah, you're right. Those are the questions."

Senior Brother Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Humans are arrogant creatures, always self-righteously thinking that they can hold the throat of fate. Unfortunately, 99% of people can't. This is indeed the biggest obstacle."

He asked a question again, "How many colonial spaceships similar to the Earth Age do you think Earth civilization can launch in the next few hundred years?"

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, "Maybe there are one or two ships, or three or four ships, it's all possible."

Brother Zhao smiled mysteriously, and stretched out a finger: "66.23% probability, one ship."

"The remaining probability is zero, and there is no other possibility."

Zhang Yuan was slightly startled, seeing Brother Zhao's expression, he was not joking.

He thought for a few seconds and questioned, "How do you calculate the probability?"

Brother Zhao said: "Through a complex function system in the history of new civilization..."
