I kidnapped an alien civilization

"New mission released!"

Quest: Starlight

Explanation: Take control of the power of the stars, so that human beings will no longer be limited by energy problems.

Requirement: Realize controllable nuclear fusion

Reward: 2,000,000 subject experience points, one general lottery draw.

Time limit: 365 days

Accept: yes/no

This is an "expected" task. According to the human civilization level of 0.7, controllable nuclear fusion is a science and technology that human civilization urgently needs.

Energy is vital to the survival and expansion of a civilization!

Counting from the birth of the first hominids, humans have existed on the earth for 5 million years. In the long period of 5 million years, human beings use energy in a very single way, that is, "burning"!

In ancient times, humans "burned" firewood;

Entering modern times, human beings "burn" coal and oil;

However, with the development of civilization, the energy required by the development of civilization is increasing exponentially. "Burning" fossil energy can no longer meet the energy needs of human beings. Nuclear fusion, an energy that exists widely on stars in the universe, has entered the sight of scientists. middle. Compared with nuclear fission, in the fission process, a large amount of nuclear radiation waste will be produced. Perfect nuclear fusion does not produce nuclear waste, of course it does not produce greenhouse gases, and basically does not pollute the environment.

Controlled nuclear fusion is a pile of hard wood in the dark, cold and empty forest, and the fossil energy on the earth is a small box of matches. The fate of human beings lies in whether the hard wood can be ignited before the matches run out.

If controllable nuclear fusion cannot be achieved before the fossils on the earth are exhausted, then human beings may be trapped on this tiny earth forever.

This time, Li Mo directly manipulated the system without any hesitation, and clicked "Accept".

fog dissipated

He stood up, and there was a sound of running water in the toilet.

Back to the office again.

The rocket maniac was sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup, lost in thought.

"Comrade Musk, where did we talk just now?" Just now in the gray fog space, listening to a long story told by the big-headed Pajero, Li Mo couldn't remember what they just discussed.

"Oh, the allocation of 4,000 places in the Mars base." Musk put down the teacup in his hand and sat up straight, "The entire Mars base can accommodate 4,000 Earthlings, minus 300 base staff and 500 laboratories for scientists. We have reserved places and 200 places that have been sold, and there are 2,000 vacant places.”

Musk seems to be born with a natural sensitivity to numbers, and he can always find profitable tricks from the numbers.

"What do you think about the allocation of these places?" Li Mo decided to try the business acumen of the new director of the Mars base.

Musk's eyes flickered: "Auction!"

"We at Mozi Technology can auction off all the 2,000 places, and the one with the highest price will win."

"According to my estimate, these 2,000 places are worth at least 20 billion. Excluding the cost of the Mars base project, our Mozi Technology will get 5 times the profit."

Li Mo noticed that Musk mentioned "our Mozi Technology" twice in this answer. It shows that this new employee of Mozi Technology is eagerly expressing his "loyalty" to his boss.

Li Mo does not doubt that Musk can sell 2,000 places to 20 billion. After all, this almost self-made rocket man was once named a marketing master by Forbes magazine.

But does the highest bidder win?

Not suitable!

The Mars base is not a commercial real estate, it carries the space dream of human beings on earth, and takes on the responsibility of a "civilization shelter". Thinking of this, Li Mo had an idea in his mind. He looked at the expectant Musk and said, "Although 20 billion is a lot, it is not my original intention to build a Mars base."

"I decided to give away the 2,000 places."

"Send it out?" Musk looked surprised.

"Yes, send it out!" Li Mo stood up and walked to the window, "We at Mozi Technology will conduct a large-scale selection event around the world to determine the ownership of these 2,000 places."

"Of course, the quota is free, but if you want to live in the Mars base for a long time, you need to pay additional living expenses."

It takes a lot of money to maintain a life on Mars for an earthling, and this part of money will never be paid by Mozi Technology.

"Selection activities?" Musk looked confused. He really couldn't understand the brain circuit of the boss. The value of these places is 2 trillion, not 2000 or 200!

Even if it is 200 or 2000, no one is willing to give it away, let alone 2 billion!

This kind of behavior completely subverted Musk's business common sense, and he frowned and fell into "meditation". This is a way of thinking that those smart heads in Silicon Valley came up with: when you encounter something you can’t figure out, you can try to clear the messy thoughts in your head, so maybe a smart answer will pop out of your mind.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and.

"Hoho. Hoo." There was a snoring sound from his mouth.

Li Mo looked at this scene in bewilderment, "Is it really a wise act to take in this homeless rocket maniac?"

——

The Mars base was successfully completed, and the new scientists who joined the Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory breathed a sigh of relief, because according to the "international" practice, when a large project is completed, in addition to extra bonuses, paid vacations are even more essential.

It's time to relax the nerves that have been tense for several months.

Some of them have even been browsing the various travel routes of the tour group during the rest time, thinking about the upcoming vacation.

But those old employees who have experienced several "big projects" have not slackened in the slightest. They knew that Professor Li Mo, the boss of the laboratory, must be planning some major project again.

Especially when they saw that the directors of the laboratory walked through the corridor with a serious face, and their destination was the large conference room of the Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory, these old employees knew that a new project was about to start .

———

Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory Conference Room

"Welcome to the expanded meeting of Mozi Technology."

"The reason for holding this meeting today is because I have formulated a new project for you!" Li Mo glanced at the participants in the conference room with bright eyes.

Simple, direct and crisp!

The laboratory executives attending the meeting did not show any surprise, they are used to the urgent work rhythm of Mozi Technology. Some executives even started talking a few days ago, which field the great scientist Professor Li Mo is going to choose as the direction of breakthrough this time.

Is it gene editing?

Is it chemically precise synthesis?

Or challenge the relativity invariance of charge?

According to past experience, this great scientist is always full of interest in cutting-edge subjects, and is very good at applying those very high-end technologies to business.

"This time, the new project of our Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory is!"

"Controllable nuclear fusion!" Li Mo stood up and announced the final puzzle.
