"Then, we will officially invite Dr. Lu Qiujian to give a speech for us!" After Sasaki Yi left, Lu Qiujian stood in front of the podium.

"Dear Neon colleagues, students from the University of Tokyo and other guests present, I am very happy to have such an opportunity to chat with the outstanding students of Neon!" Although Lu Qiujian can skillfully use Neon language

, but he still chose to speak in Chinese.

The University of Tokyo is currently the number one university in Asia, which makes Lu Qiujian somewhat regretful. Perhaps after he returns to China, through accumulation and development, Capital University will occupy this throne.

"Today I don't want to talk to you about the Poincaré conjecture, the Langlands Programme, nor the Higgs boson and dark matter! Because those are all in the past!" Lu Qiujian looked around and saw the students in the audience.

His eyes were full of curiosity. Since he didn't want to talk about this, what did he want to say?

"The title of my speech is "Future Science and Technology Prospects for Humanity Out of the Cradle"!" Lu Qiujian quickly revealed the answer, "Everyone, it is very lucky for life and wisdom to be born in the universe! The relationship between the earth and the sun

If the distance were closer or further away, then the earth would be too hot and too cold to be able to produce life!"

"The earth is like a cradle, nurturing the gradual growth of human beings! We live in a cradle and don't have to worry about the damage from various cosmic rays. We have the sun as our energy source and the moon as our shield from meteorites." A long parallel sentence is used to describe the earth.

The superior environment, then changed the topic, "But Tsiolkovsky, the father of the world's aerospace industry, once said that the earth is the cradle of mankind, but mankind will never lie in the cradle forever."

"In the 21st century, humankind's scientific and technological level has developed unprecedentedly. Rapid breakthroughs in science and technology have made our world more colorful! The Human Genome Project has unlocked all the codes of about 25,000 genes in the human body.

Humanity understands itself to an unprecedented degree!”

"Breakthroughs in the fields of quantum computers, biological computers and supercomputers have given humans more powerful tools! The development of information technology and network technology has made our lives more exciting!"

"The discovery of the Higgs boson completes the merits of the Standard Model; the interception of neutrinos opens an extremely important window in astrophysics!" At this point, there was a slight commotion in the audience, because neutrino research is currently underway.

This is the achievement of Masatoshi Oshiba. As students of the University of Tokyo, they are honored.

"Many major achievements have been made in the field of nanotechnology; superconducting temperature has been pushed to a higher level by scientists, and mankind is making steady progress on the road to achieving zero resistance current at room temperature; diseases such as cancer and AIDS that have plagued mankind for many years are gradually seeing the light of day.

.”

"Scientists have measured the speed of gravity for the first time. This experiment once again confirmed that Einstein's theory is correct. Scientists are convinced that the speed of gravity propagation is equal to the speed of light; the gravitational wave detector Ligo is being updated. I believe it can bring more benefits to mankind.

Big surprise!”

“The development of new technologies for space photography, the successful shooting of photos of the infancy of the universe, the launch of the Mars probe, the landing of the rover on Mars and the discovery of evidence of water, the successful entry of the Cassini spacecraft into the orbit of Saturn, and the discovery of the most distant part of the solar system by astronomers

Big Celestial Bodies Humanity’s pace of exploring the universe has never stopped!”

One after another scientific breakthroughs made by mankind in the 21st century were mentioned by Lu Qiujian, including the achievements of Chinese and Neon scientists. The scholars and students in the audience were filled with excitement and deep feelings.

Feel lucky and proud to live in such a great era.

"But is this enough?" Just when everyone's emotions were rising, Lu Qiujian poured a ladle of cold water on his face. He pressed his hands on the podium, stretched his neck and looked at the audience, and once again put himself

I repeat what I just said, "But is this enough? Should we be satisfied with our current achievements? Can human wisdom only reach its current level?"

The audience gradually calmed down from the excitement. "According to Professor Freeman Dyson of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, we can divide civilization into three levels. Type 1 civilization can develop and utilize the world in which it lives.

natural resources; Type 2 civilizations can build things like Dyson spheres and process the entire energy output of their star; Type 3 civilizations have mastered the technology to harness the entire resources of their galaxy."

"Contrasting this standard, we will find that the scientific achievements that make us feel extremely proud and proud do not even meet the standards of a Type 1 civilization!" According to Dyson's classification method, humans are currently only at the level of a Level 0.7 civilization.

“In 1969, Neil Alden Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins drove the Apollo 11 spacecraft across a journey of 380,000 kilometers, carrying the dream of all mankind and setting foot on the surface of the moon.

, this is humanity’s first step out of the cradle!”

"However, only three years later, in 1972, after the Apollo 17 spacecraft conducted the last expedition to the moon, mankind has retracted its steps. Since then, it has never stepped out of the cradle again!"

At this point, Lu Qiujian shrugged, "Maybe it's too cold in space, but it's warmer in the cradle!"

This caused a burst of laughter among the students at the University of Tokyo, but after the laughter, a deep regret gradually spread. Yes, it has been thirty-three years since Apollo 17 landed on the moon! Humanity still has not taken the second step.

.

"Armstrong, Aldrin, Conrad, Bing, Shepard, Mitchell, Scott, Irvine, Young, Duke, Cernan, Smit!" Lu Qiujian announced in one breath

Name the twelve astronauts who successfully landed on the moon, "Among the trillions of people throughout human history, these twelve lucky ones have walked out of the cradle! This ratio is really too small!"

"Human beings will eventually get out of the cradle!" Lu Qiujian thought of the picture on the wall of Professor Dietrich's office. "The universe is so wonderful, but we have been huddled in the cradle. This is such a pity!"

At this point, the lyricism came to an end, and Lu Qiujian began to talk about his thoughts on space exploration, "In my opinion, the current level of human science and technology is still far away from the real space exploration. This requires a lot of

A common breakthrough in two fields, in the field of mathematics I pointed out the direction two years ago, and in the field of physics I think that in the field of chemistry"

Lu Qiujian's speech came to an end after describing his expectations for the development of human science. "Finally, please allow me to end this speech with a famous quote from a neon writer. Our journey is the stars and the sea!" (To be completed.)

ps: The monthly ticket update has arrived again! I found that I was a little stupid to set the update at twelve o'clock! Isn't twelve o'clock the time to just get the bonus coins? The first one tomorrow will be changed to nine o'clock in the morning.
Chapter completed!
