Chapter 3110: Women and children first (2/2)
The voice emerged in his sea of knowledge, ”You have lost your first chance, but before making a rationalization proposal, I am very interested to hear, why do you want to do this-what is your plan?”
Wrong choice?
Three chances, one lost, in other words, three ”lives”, one has been lost?
Li Yao took a deep breath and secretly warned himself not to panic. He has already built the first immigrant starship. Only at this point did he lose his first ”life”. It should be far above average. He still has Two opportunities, don't be impatient, take your time.
”Judging from the resources I have and the progress of research and development, in just 30 years, I am destined to be unable to take everyone away.”
Li Yao said calmly, ”Even if we work hard, in the end, we can carry three to five billion people to escape is the limit. In other words, out of five, only one can be saved.”
”Yes it is.”
The voice said, ”Your judgment is very correct, and you are even too optimistic. Only one out of five can be saved. This is indeed the biggest problem facing our civilization. The horror of the human heart is even more terrifying than the attack of meteorites and black holes. How to solve this problem?”
”I can't solve it. I'm just a small human being, not an omnipotent god.”
Li Yao smiled bitterly, ”I can only try to think of a fair and reasonable method to determine who is eligible to board the immigrant starship in the end.
”In my moral concept, giving priority to'old and weak women and children' is a justified rule. Considering the particularity of saving civilization, it is impossible for the elderly and the weak with diseases to be given priority. Then women and children, It is the person who is most qualified to board the immigrant starship. According to the ratio of five to one, we may be able to save all women and children.”
”It makes sense.”
The voice said, ”Women and children are the hope of a civilization. Males are only consumables and reproductive tools. One male is enough to make a hundred females conceived and reproduce a whole group. In turn, one hundred males and one female, and then No matter how hard you work, you can only give birth to a few offspring, which is not enough to maintain the operation of civilization.
”So, you don't need to carry too many men on the immigrant starship. In theory, it is true. The question is how do you do this?”
”So I chose the strategy of'death education'.”
Li Yao explained, ”This is not a technology, but more like philosophy. It is about educating everyone how to face death, how to think about the relationship between individuals and civilization, how to treat their short life and the long journey of civilization. In the end, I hope that people can look at their lives more calmly and peacefully, be more sacrificial, and be able to pin all their hopes on the next generation.
”Finally, when the immigrant fleet sets sail, all children, pregnant women, and young ladies can board the starship according to the age of the census. If there are vacant spaces, they will be queued according to the age of the remaining people.”
”That's it.”
The voice said calmly, ”That is to say, in your ideal state, the main passengers of the immigration fleet are women and children. Then, how do they control the starship and how to develop and colonize after arriving at the destination? What?”
”Xinghai navigation is not as complicated as imagined most of the time.”
Li Yao replied, ”99.99% of the star field in the universe is a vacuum with nothing, which is calmer than sailing on the sea, and in case of encountering the most extreme and dangerous environment, it is the same for anyone to control it.
”Since 99% of passengers are in hibernation 99% of the time, what does it matter whether they are children or adults?
”Furthermore, when various cutting-edge weapons are popular, and psionics and spars can greatly change the human body, I don’t think that women are necessarily weaker than men and cannot play the roles of soldiers and scientists. For example, I know a woman. , How tough she is...you won't understand even if you say it.
”Furthermore, I decided to invest a lot of resources to develop a'self-disciplined educational robot', which is a fully automated education system. When these children wake up from a long hibernation, they can get the help of supercomputers and fully automated robots to learn slowly. How to control the starship and save civilization.
”A strong young man means a strong civilization. Although I know that there are still many omissions and even wishful thinking in this plan, I sincerely hope that these young people can develop the original civilization-a new era of earth civilization. I don't know my choice. What is wrong?”
