Chapter 2 about this book

How will human civilization evolve ten thousand years from now? Since the American astronauts landed on the moon, human scientific civilization has further explored outer space.Soviet Russian astronomer Kardashiv believes that human civilization in the 20th century is entering the second stage. In the next 100 centuries, humans will plan to colonize other planets in the solar system or the Milky Way. Environmental scientists are pessimistically predicting that under the threat of overpopulation and energy crisis, the day of the destruction of the earth is imminent.Is it true that the earth will collapse before humans colonize other planets?

Space travel will be a frighteningly expensive project. The design and construction cost of a single Saturn (J press: Saturn, the launch rocket system of the American Apollo project) rocket will reach one billion U.S. dollars. It is bound to cost trillions of money for human beings to colonize other planets, but can the government and the people afford such a huge expense?Scientists believe that economic problems are not the biggest problem, but human stubbornness, prejudice and ignorance are the most terrible obstacles.This is just like the experimenters and designers of ships, airplanes, and rockets in the past, who were criticized and discriminated against.

For thousands of years, humans have had the idea of ​​colonizing the moon, but the moon is not a romantic world like Chang'e flying to the moon. Its surface is just a desert. However, in the next few centuries, humans will use solar energy to build power plants on the moon and develop reserves Abundant mineral resources, free from the interference of the atmosphere and the earth's thousands of radio waves, the exploration of other planets in the universe will have rapid development.At the same time, the moon has less gravity and is the best recuperation place for patients with rheumatism and arthritis.Due to the highly developed vacuum technology and the wide application of electronic engineering, some places on the moon will become new scientific cities with many factories and hospitals.This lunar world, which is equal to the area of ​​Africa, will be rapidly developed, and a large number of human immigration will become a reality. The number of lunar people born and raised on the moon will also increase day by day. The successful development of the moon will be a springboard for human beings to develop other planets.

In the vast universe, there are trillions of galaxies gathered, among which there must be planets inhabited by living creatures. The question is whether these living planets are suitable for the living conditions of human beings? Following the development of the moon, the next goal of mankind may be Venus. Venus has conditions similar to the earth, but it is full of scorching carbon dioxide. Therefore, before colonizing, a rocket with algae must be launched to Venus to remove carbon dioxide and replace it. It is decomposed into oxygen, and after oxygen is formed, it will affect the climate, produce heavy rain, cause rivers and oceans, and then form a geographical environment similar to the earth.

The special theory of relativity published by Einstein surpassed the common sense of physics at that time and caused a great commotion. His theory described unimaginable knowledge of space. He believed that light, time, and space are not always in a straight line, and they often change due to different gravity. With different degrees of skew and distortion, this theory will unlock various mysteries of the universe. What will the universe be like?Human beings are uncovering its mysterious side step by step. In science fiction, it is often believed that human beings are entering an era without time and space, that is to say, the existence of another universe, super space.From the point of view of modern physics, it can be proved that super space exists in a certain part of the universe, which has neither mass nor time.If human beings break through this super space technology, they will be able to travel to and from planets hundreds or even thousands of light years away.

The resources of the earth are being exhausted day by day. In the next 20 to 30 years, the total amount of energy consumed each year will reach 10.31 square ergs, which is 10 million times that of the Roman Empire. In order to solve the energy problem, it is necessary to With the development of nuclear fusion technology, the production city will be an uninhabited huge industrial city completely operated by machines. The continuous improvement of computer technology will be used to engage in work such as space exploration and planet transformation. Robots with the same capabilities as humans will also At that time, the definition of life will be changed due to the emergence of robots, and a new law for the peaceful coexistence of humans and robots will inevitably emerge as the times require.

The idea that human beings must live on planets may be revised due to the emergence of space cities. In the next few centuries, space cities with an area of ​​tens of square miles will fly around the earth and provide permanent residence for tens of thousands of people. Residents of these flying cities can produce what they need. There are vast agricultural areas or aquaculture land under the transparent dome, and they can use cheap spaceships to travel to and from the earth or other space cities. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Its surface is full of ammonia, methane, and liquid hydrogen. Humans cannot transform or live in it. However, Jupiter is as large as dozens of Earths. If it can be disintegrated to form dozens of planets, it will have great impact on human beings. There are great benefits, as to whether the destruction of Jupiter will affect the gravitational balance of the solar system or other unknown adverse consequences, it will be left to the destroyers to calculate.

What is the ultimate goal of human beings?The extreme development of human science will cause destruction due to mistakes?Or become the conqueror of the galaxy?
