Chapter 159: Technical Problems

Bai Xiangdong continued: "Speaking of this, controllable genetic modification is the technology we dream of.

"If we can achieve this technical level, we can completely eliminate the defects in the human body and evolve in the direction we hope.

"Only by reaching this level can the process of artificial evolution be completed."

Jiang Yu asked: "Then what are the difficulties of this technology?"

"Controlable!" Bai Xiangdong said: "In fact, our application of genetic technology is still the most handy in the first stage.

"For example, hybrid rice is the culmination of it.

“From the second phase, technology has been out of controllable scope.

"We have only found a little trick in chimerism, not that any species can be chimeric, at present, this technology has considerable limitations.

"The technology given by the Three-Body Stars is controllable, but the control is in the hands of the Three-Body Stars!"

Jiang Yu suddenly understood: "The first phase of experiment you conducted before was to make genetic technology reach the level of 'pseudo-fourth stage' through trial and error, and complete artificial evolution?"

Bai Xiangdong smiled helplessly: "That's right, but unfortunately my thoughts are too naive. You have also seen that even human wings can grow, and there seems to be infinite possibilities in the genes.

"Using this trial and error method, it may not be possible to fully grasp controllable genetic modification for hundreds of years.

"That's why I decided to turn to the study of chimera. This technology is more controllable and will be very long-term in practical applications.

"At present, my group has mastered the world's most advanced chimera technology, and there should be breakthrough progress within ten years.

"But the distance from artificial evolution is still very far, because human genes are difficult to chimeric with other organisms."

Jiang Yu asked again: "Animal cells divide plant cells. What stage of technology is this?"

"There is no relevant concept yet," Bai Xiangdong ate and drank enough, took a sip of tea ceremony: "But you can imagine it.

"In the fourth stage, humans can find the possibility of becoming stronger from their own genes.

"But there are certain limitations, and genes can only be stabilized through fertility.

"The three-body star people should have found the way of the fifth stage when using the experiment in Mongolia.

"At this stage, we should find ways to chimeric between animal genes, such as chimeric genes of chickens and centipedes, and a chicken can grow dozens of legs."

Hearing this, Jiang Yu and Di Fengyi felt a little uncomfortable.

Bai Xiangdong smiled and said: "Genetic technology is an exploration of life, and it will also be a blasphemy of life!

"If you want to make yourself stronger, this is a necessary stage."

Then he said: "The discovery of the biology team should belong to the sixth stage.

"I don't have many concepts at this stage, and it is likely that I can change qualitatively!"

Jiang Yu sighed: "It's too far away!"

He paused and said, "Communicate more with the biological team. Before, your group was both bright and dark with the biological team, and now the biological team is going to work in secret.

"Although your goals are different, your goals are the same."

Bai Xiangdong nodded.

Jiang Yu said again: "In addition, are you sure to create something that will fight against 'gene missiles'?"

Bai Xiangdong thought about it for a while before saying, "You can try it. The only case of "genetic missile" is the ETO attack Luo Ji, a facer in the past few years.

"I have checked the genetic missile technology in the 'Dog Apple Project', which is just a castrated version of the technology, and the theory is incomplete. The key operation of the Three-Body Stars did not give ETO.

"Three years ago, the ETO's attack on Luo Ji should have been instructed by the Three-Body Stars. We really have to guard against this move."

Jiang Yu lit a cigarette for a long time and said nothing. The Three-Body Stars wrote clearly in the "Poison Apple Project" that they would use "genetic missiles" to attack people who have received genetic modification.

Jiang Yu was disappointed with those who used the Three-Body Stars technology, but he couldn't let the Three-Body Stars succeed.

...

The PDC meeting is still going on, and Jiang Yu never expected that these politicians could be so irritable.

And it has been a long time to discuss, but it has not yet been discussed.

Before the implementation of the "Plan Zero" began, the seven executive members of the PDC had plans to log in to Mars.

In this regard, the United States took the lead and made bold statements since the beginning of this century to land on Mars before the middle of this century.

Logically speaking, the United States should have already had a detailed plan, so representatives from various PDC countries asked the United States to announce their Mars plan.

At first, Washington was unwilling to make an announcement easily, but in the end, amid opposition from various countries, Washington finally announced their plans to the PDC member states under public pressure.

However, after careful argumentation by scientists from various countries, it was discovered that the plan given by Washington had many loopholes.

Later, according to a person familiar with NASA, the plan has not yet entered the argumentation stage.

This result made everyone laugh and cry. The treasures that Washington had covered were so tightly, so it could only be used as a reference at most.

The agenda finally entered the next stage, and scientists from various countries began to discuss and formulate a complete plan based on the United States' Mars plan.

At the beginning of this work, everyone immediately discovered that NASA's plan failed to solve two key problems of going to Mars:

First, design a reliable planetary spacecraft, and second, supply issues for spacecraft and astronauts.

Astronauts have to stay on the spacecraft for at least six months. After initial demonstration, the hibernation system cannot be moved to the spacecraft for the time being.

The main reason is that the hibernation system is too bulky and although there is no resistance in space, every kilogram of load is added, the Mars mission will add a little burden. The hibernation system weighing several tons will be a burden to the Mars spacecraft.

The key is that the recovery period after awakening is too long and it is difficult to apply to missions in space environments.

The supplies for astronauts during Mars can be delivered in advance, but during the six-month voyage, they must bring enough supplies.

At the same time, the fuel of the spacecraft is also a big problem. The moon is only 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. After accelerating from the earth's low-Earth orbit, you can reach the moon by gliding alone in space.

When implementing the Mars plan, it was too late to wait until Mars reached the perigee of Earth, and it was necessary to land at a location where Mars was more than 90 million kilometers away from Earth.

The distance between the two is too long and it must be accelerated once during the trip.

Not only that, when you are about to reach Mars, you also need to slow down accordingly before you can enter the Mars orbit, otherwise it will be easy to pass by Mars.

Since the hibernation system cannot be used in space for the time being, everyone puts all their hopes on the nuclear fusion system.

As long as there is a steady stream of power, bring more supplies, and build the spacecraft a little larger, the problem can be solved easily.

The research on controllable nuclear fusion technology is about to succeed, but it is still a shortcoming.

Ding Yi estimated that it would not be possible to achieve controllable nuclear fusion technology until at least early next year.

But it’s just that with this technology, there will be a long distance to the application stage.

Within at least ten years, nuclear fusion technology will not be able to drive large engines on Mars spacecraft.

The aerospace engine is too huge. Take the liquid fuel engine of China's Long March 9 rocket as an example. The five engines of the first rocket that are responsible for getting rid of the earth's gravity, each of which is as high as two floors!

Even for the third section of the rocket used in space, each of the three engines is more than three meters high.
