I kidnapped an alien civilization
Chapter 400 What is Home?
Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory currently has more than 2,000 regular employees.
The one with the highest degree is 35-year-old Ni Ruchu, who has doctoral degrees from six 211 universities;
The one with the highest IQ is 30-year-old Ou Zigao, who scored 230 points in the IQ test, 20 points higher than Newton;
Ou Dafei, the 28-year-old with the highest emotional intelligence, can obtain a stranger's bank card password through a ten-minute chat;
The person with the most work experience is 55-year-old Professor Gong Ziliang, who has worked in cattle, sheep, rabbits, security guards, factory workers, bank staff, actors, delivery workers, doctors, university professors, researchers and other occupations.
The main reason why Li Mo chose Fang Lanshan, a former NCAA rocket designer, as the No. 2 person in the laboratory was his calmness.
Happy but not crazy, sad but not sad!
Fang Lanshan can always clearly understand the status quo of the development of the situation after drastic emotional changes, and make the most suitable choice for himself.
Just like now, he who successfully launched the spaceship did not fall into ecstasy, but took advantage of this opportunity to raise his doubts.
After Zhou Dong brought the tea, he closed the door and left.
Li Mo then said: "Today, I am not the boss, and you are not an employee."
"We are two people, two Earthlings."
"If you have any questions, just ask."
Be honest!
Fang Lanshan's eyes lit up, and a trace of excitement appeared on his face, "Thank you, old man."
"Professor Li!"
Li Mo:.
"The first is the problem of the Mars base." Fang Lanshan looked puzzled: "Why do you insist on using reinforced concrete structures at the bottom of the base instead of aluminum-titanium alloys with better performance and lighter weight?"
"Although the cost of reinforced concrete is cheap, the transportation cost and labor cost are several times higher than that of aluminum-titanium alloy."
Li Mo nodded slightly, he knew that Fang Lanshan would definitely raise this question. Because this is the whole design plan, the most controversial about what material to use for the base of the Mars base.
Aluminum-titanium alloys, titanium alloys and even plastic alloys have all become research objects.
In the end, the aluminum-titanium alloy faction prevailed. This alloy has high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, low density, hardness, and pull resistance. Although it is very expensive, compared with the cost of the entire Mars base project, it seems very cheap.
Fang Lanshan wrote the aluminum-titanium alloy into the plan with full confidence, but was ruthlessly rejected by Li Mo. The reason was only three characters: "Use cement!"
Cement is just another name for concrete, which made the members of the project team confused. Among the materials they selected, cement was the least likely to appear on Mars.
Go to an alien planet and build a house with cement?
Mason?
What a joke!
But the boss, Li Mo, seemed to turn a deaf ear to their opinions, so the helpless Materials Research Institute had to work overtime to study the condensation of concrete in the Martian environment.
Fortunately, after many simulation experiments, the Institute of Materials finally found that the setting speed and strength of the special 825 cement in the Martian environment are sufficient to ensure the stability of the base.
If in concrete, implant reinforcement made of nickel-chromium steel. Under the support of the steel mesh structure, the Mars Pyramid will have the ability to resist an earthquake of magnitude 8.
The earthquake resistance of the pyramid is just an unexpected gain, which was not originally considered by the project team. Because the core of Mars has been extinguished, the geological activity inside is very weak. Over the past century, there have been almost no earthquakes above magnitude 2 on the surface of Mars.
Therefore, the earthquake resistance of reinforced concrete is not a bonus item.
And reinforced concrete has a fatal flaw, that is weight. The weight of reinforced concrete required to build the pyramid base is 2 tons heavier than that of aluminum-titanium alloy.
2 tons is 4000 Jin.
On Earth, the weight of 4000 catties may not be much, but it is equivalent to the weight of 25 adult Earthlings. Any single-cylinder three-wheeled motorcycle produced by Huaguo can pull a weight of 4,000 kilograms and travel around the world.
However, there is a space of 55 million kilometers between the earth and Mars. At this distance scale, every gram of weight must be counted.
Reinforced concrete is obviously not a good choice.
So Fang Lanshan was very confused about Professor Li Mo's "abnormal" behavior.
His face was full of anticipation, looking forward to this man with the most intelligent brain on earth, what insights he had, or what special advantages reinforced concrete had.
This question was totally expected!
Li Mo smiled slightly: "In your impression, what is home?"
Home?
Fang Lanshan's consciousness is confused, what does this have to do with home?
However, the boss's expression didn't look like a joke. He frowned and thought for a moment: "Home is a place where you can rest."
Li Mo shook his head. It seems that this former NCCA rocket designer still hasn't fully understood Huaguo's family culture.
"Isn't it right?" Fang Lanshan didn't think there was anything wrong with his answer. At NCCA, he works 12 hours a day, and his home is just a long-term inn for him, a place where he can sleep, bathe and eat.
"That's right, that's not right!" Li Mo said the specious words again, he picked up his teacup and took a sip: "For Chinese people, home is not just a place to rest, more importantly, it is Play the role of a 'root'."
"Every Chinese, no matter where he is, will miss his home, because there is his root."
"The universe is too vast. With a distance of 55 million kilometers, the residents of the Mars base may never be able to return to Earth in this lifetime."
"So, I'm going to use traditional steel and concrete to create a new home for them on Mars."
"In this new home, it is very important to still retain the atmosphere of the old home on earth."
"Because between Mars and Earth, civilization isolation will inevitably occur!"
Fang Lanshan's heart was shocked. Li Mo couldn't understand how much he valued his family. But as a scientist, he has a deep understanding of the isolation of civilization.
If the production of characters is used as the criterion for the emergence of civilization, human civilization has a history of 6,000 years. However, the real formation of earth civilization was after Columbus's great voyages. Cultures from all over the world communicated with each other, forming an indivisible earth civilization.
But the distance between Mars and the Earth is 55 million kilometers, and it will take more than a month for the Navigator to sail. It is foreseeable that the communication between future Martian residents and humans on Earth will inevitably decrease.
The reduction of communication means the creation of estrangement, and the two estranged groups must be suspicious of each other.
Eventually, this suspicion can develop into hostility.
Just like the British once colonized North America.
Due to the barrier of the ocean, suspicion grew in the hearts of the British colonists in North America, and finally the War of Independence broke out. They overthrew the British rule and established a new country.
North America and the United Kingdom are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, while the earth and Mars are separated by vast space.
It is foreseeable that with the development of Mars, human civilization may split into two hostile civilizations, the Earth civilization and the Martian civilization. This is what countless scientists worry about colonizing space.
Fang Lanshan understood that the boss wanted to keep the "roots" in the hearts of the first residents of Mars, so that they would not forget where they came from and not get lost in the vast space.
"Time to ask your second question!"
