Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The road is long and far away, I will search up and down.

This is where the name of the Search Institute comes from.

The journey is long, not just an interstellar voyage.

This is also the path before interstellar voyages are realized.

Perhaps on the road to achieving this ultimate goal, Qiusuo Research Institute will have many more dazzling results.

But for the ultimate goal, the Research Institute will continue to explore in the long night.

now,

In the large conference room.

It quickly evolved into a torrent of applause,

A group of core researchers expressed their support for the next goals of the institute.

Even if you are engaged in research in different fields, even if you are getting older,

But it is still difficult to say which researcher does not have a dream of stars and sea.

And even because they are engaged in research in different fields,

After that, they may continue to conduct research in their respective fields without directly participating in the aerospace field.

But starting from this moment,

Whether it is theoretical research or basic research at the Qiusuo Institute, all research has a more ambitious final vision.

Represented by Proxima Centauri at this moment, walk towards the sea of ​​stars.

At least at this moment,

What the core researchers were thinking was basically like, ‘If you do it, Mud, the worst thing you can do is fail on the road to achieving this goal’.

After the applause died down.

Mo Dao looked at the core researchers and smiled again.

From now on,

His life trajectory in this life was on a completely different path from his previous life.

"...Of course. We still need to do it step by step before we can achieve our goal of finally reaching Proxima Centauri."

"In the first stage, in the era of deuterium and tritium fusion, with the huge productivity growth stimulated by deuterium and tritium fusion, I hope that we, or the entire country of China, can establish a city-level lunar immigration base on the moon."

"And, with this, we will deploy semi-permanent bases and probes to most planets and valuable satellites throughout the solar system."

"The second stage may be post-deuterium-tritium fusion, if productivity can be further increased. I hope that our footprints can cover most places in the solar system and build town-scale scientific research bases on suitable planets and satellites. Or a production and manufacturing base. And, based on the entire solar system, we will conduct exploratory explorations towards the edges of the solar system and beyond.”

"The third stage. Based on the above two stages, we will start to build a long-distance spacecraft that is fast enough and stable enough to realize this long voyage. After a longer or faster time, we will reach the final destination. Earth, Proxima Centauri.”

Mo Dao suppressed his smile and explained the three-stage vision of the entire goal to a group of core researchers.

All the core researchers basically calmed down again at this moment.

In the latter two stages, even though a group of core researchers were emotionally agitated at the moment, they didn't think much about it. It was really too far away.

Mainly focus on the goals of the first stage.

This first stage can actually be divided into several stages again.

If the moon is built into a port leading to other parts of the solar system,

If you want to develop the moon, you can further explore other planets.

So now, the primary goal of Qiusuo Research Institute is to achieve the moon landing.

"At present, Qiusuo Research Institute will start by achieving the goals of the first stage."

Mo Dao said one more sentence, declaring the end of the meeting.

Of course, there will be a more detailed discussion later.

The goals of the first phase are also divided into several steps, and finally the first phase plan of the Qiusuo Institute is implemented step by step.

And the goal of this first stage is

In fact, it was one step further than the goal that Hua had already achieved before Mo Dao passed away in his previous life.

…

A number of core researchers left one after another.

In the large conference room, Mo Dao was alone again.

Mo Dao chose a stool and sat down again, reprojecting the previous image of the starry sky on the dome.

Looking at the inconspicuous Proxima Centauri star in this projection screen, Mo Dao looked quite calm.

This was a voyage goal he had just chosen a few days ago.

For Mo Dao, it is just a destination for an interstellar voyage.

But now, Mo Dao was really looking forward to it, looking forward to what kind of scenery he could see when he stood here.

Needless to say, this is a rather distant and difficult goal.

Even according to the limit speed of man-made aircraft before Mo Dao passed away in his previous life,

This probably means that the current voyage time of ten thousand years has been shortened to about a thousand years.

But it's still too long.

Mo Dao's life is not that long,

Considering that he has to start from scratch in every life to promote technology,

The time he can really spend on the voyage may only be thirty, twenty or even less years.

The speed of man-made aircraft here does not take into account the manned conditions.

But it doesn't matter.

over a long period of time,

As long as Mo Dao has the possibility to reach there, he will eventually be able to reach that destination.

Moreover, it is also a good choice to have a continuous goal throughout life.

…

January.

After a few more core team meetings and some discussions.

Within the Qiusuo Research Institute, it was announced that it would expand its previous research team in the aerospace field.

Some research teams in related disciplines will join the research in the aerospace field.

The most recent goal is to achieve manned spaceflight at the Qiusuo Research Institute.

Achieve lunar exploration and prepare for the establishment of a research base on the lunar surface by the Qiushi Research Institute.

According to Mo Dao's request,

Qiusuo Research Institute has selected several points for lunar exploration, most of which are on the far side of the moon.

For the research team in the aerospace field of Qiusuo Research Institute,

Moon landing exploration itself is the greatest significance of this phased goal.

As for Mo Dao,

The biggest role of this stage is to obtain a material in advance that can produce room temperature superconductivity after secondary synthesis in this life.

Although in his previous life, when he discovered such materials, Mo Dao was not far from death.

But Mo Dao still knew the exact coordinates of the location where this special material was found.

This was one of the moon landing sites he circled for the aerospace team of the Research Institute at this moment.

He is not yet sure whether such materials can be synthesized artificially.

But even if it doesn't work, the research on room temperature superconducting materials is of considerable significance.

There is also the possibility of breakthroughs in second-generation fusion technology through room-temperature superconducting materials.

In his last life, although he did not participate much in the aerospace field,

But basically, the situation in the field of human spaceflight before he came back in the last life,

He has been told that in the era of only deuterium and tritium fusion.

It is impossible to achieve a voyage over a distance of light years.

If you want to achieve this goal,

What he needs is a newer and more powerful era after deuterium and tritium fusion.

This is also one of the biggest reasons for building the Search Institute in this life.

What he needs is a comprehensive approach, whether in basic theory, materials field, energy field, or even many fields.

It is a more advanced era than the last one.

There is only one more powerful era like this,

Only then can we create a spacecraft that can achieve interstellar voyages across light-year distances.

Only then can we create such a creation that is far beyond the present era and can be called a great human creation.
