Chapter 316 Go to the distance, don't look back(1/2)
Except for people like Chen Feng, Ryan, Zhong Lei, Sergey, etc., the impact of a single individual living for ten or twenty more years may be only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge development of civilization.
But millions of outstanding talents in various fields have stolen ten or twenty years back in time. Everyone can create a little more value, and the difference is terrifying.
It is true that the skyrocketing average life expectancy has rapidly accelerated the aging of society in the short term.
But this did not intensify the conflict, because the comprehensive advancement of science and technology has effectively improved social productivity, but materials have gradually become surplus.
Supported by abundant material conditions and protected by better medical conditions, the value of the elderly is fully reflected.
Chen Feng's "Collection of Madman's Conjectures" has been released to version 11.0.
These heavy classics were gradually digested by scholars, broken down into easier-to-understand knowledge points, and taught to their respective students.
There are not many people who can really understand Chen Feng's books, and they fall into two categories.
One type is young talents, but young talents are often at the peak of their lives. Compared with cultivating students, young talents often pay more attention to the exploration of self-worth.
The other type is the elderly academicians.
Some old people have withdrawn from the front line of scientific research, while others still stick to it.
In the past, after an old man in his 70s or 80s abdicated his throne in favor of a worthy person, his memory, thinking ability, mental state, and physical health would continue to decline to a very serious level, and he could basically just live his life without worrying about anything else.
But now the situation has changed. Some old-timers may not be able to support the leadership work of front-line research, but their own knowledge system structure is just the most complete stage of life, the most systematic, and they can be more integrated when explaining to others.
It’s a great time to train successors.
The old-timers passed on the fire left by Chen Feng and added another fire to make the torch that illuminates the progress of civilization burn even brighter.
Since then, all the influences caused by Chen Feng have been linked together, and the negative effects have disappeared, leaving only positive help.
Since the middle of the 21st century, science and technology have started a rapid development that has lasted for hundreds of years, together with the rise of literature and art.
In 2122, within a year after Chen Feng left, Song Siyu, the 124-year-old fat man's wife, completed a major event before she died.
Song Siyu digested the complete knowledge system left by Chen Feng in Xingfeng Light and Shadow Studio and Xingfeng Games, and cultivated the first supercomputing core with super self-learning ability.
Humanity has made significant leaps in comprehensive computing power.
The fat man’s wife not only absorbed all of Chen Feng’s program development ideas, but she even outdid his masters.
Fatty Ou won another title, "Song Siyu's husband".
In 2143, Aeron Elwyn's unfinished business was completed.
Xingfeng Biological Research Institute successfully developed astral acid (national acid).
This special amino acid, which is unlikely to exist for a long time in the human body, has become a regular product. While helping people improve their concentration, it also quietly awakens pieces of sleeping genetic information.
Since then, human genetic arousal has increased again after stagnating at 25% for thousands of years.
The birth of posthumanity.
Humanity's in-depth research on gene development is more than a hundred years ahead of the previous timeline.
In 2165, 10 years after Chen Feng's death, because there was no legal heir, Xingfeng Aerospace changed from an individual company to a state-owned enterprise.
Xingfeng Aerospace did not decline due to Chen Feng's death. Instead, it jumped out of the pure long-range focused development restrictions he left behind.
Creativity is unleashed.
The top aerospace industry scholars trained by Chen Feng are already far ahead of the times in many fields such as physics, chemistry, materials, systematization, and power development.
They first completely absorbed what Chen Feng left behind, and then decisively transformed into developing resources within the solar system.
In 2177, Xingfeng Aerospace designed and participated in the manufacturing, and a number of large groups such as Ouhe Group, Xingfeng Industry, China Heavy Industries, and China Aviation jointly established a space development company.
One after another, China's large-scale mining exploration spacecraft is heading for Mercury.
In 2195, humans began to decompose Mercury and create Mercury's Dyson Cloud, and a new era suddenly arrived.
There are two major symptoms of the new era.
First, the establishment of Dyson Cloud and ultra-long-distance microwave power transmission systems has allowed mankind to rapidly increase the total amount of solar energy development and utilization.
As long as the Dyson Cloud takes shape, it will basically replace water energy, fire energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, solar energy in the atmosphere, solar power generation in orbit around the earth and other means, and become the most important means of energy supply for mankind.
Second, the Chinese nation has achieved a complete and great rejuvenation.
The Chinese nation, which has a history of 5,000 years, has been able to account for more than 50% of the total GDP of the entire civilization at many times in history.
Using absolute control over the Dyson Cloud, the Chinese nation has made another leap forward, controlling 50% of the total GDP of the entire civilization.
Theoretically, this situation is unlikely to occur after the twentieth century.
This situation has occurred in previous timelines, but it has never been so extreme, and it was many years later.
But at the end of the twenty-second century, a miracle happened.
From 1949 to 2195, the Chinese nation has caught up step by step, advanced step by step, surpassed and opened up the distance step by step.
On the way forward, there is blood, grief and indignation, glory, and unyielding...
Along the way, the ground is full of thorns.
Soldiers, workers, scholars, farmers, white-collar workers...
It took 246 years, and generations of Chinese people used their sweat and blood to lift this 5,000-year-old country bit by bit on their shoulders, returning to the elusive heights of the past.
To achieve this situation, many complex preconditions are required, and none of them is missing.
In normal civilization development, the possibility of meeting all prerequisites is 0.
This time, Chen Feng's crazy cheating that lasted for 150 years has made these impossible preconditions a reality.
In the past timeline, Chen Feng's guiding ideology in his trading era was to focus on supporting, implicitly weakening other countries, and try to change the pattern of the times as early as possible so that a certain country's situation of leading the world would end as soon as possible.
This is of course necessary.
If a country is allowed to use pure hegemony, rely on lies and colored glasses to consolidate its advantages, continue to make a country unreasonably powerful, and let some capitalists who only focus on self-interest lead the world, then the situation of mankind is actually very dangerous.
Sooner or later, civilization will perish in the hands of stupid and ignorant capitalists who are good at making money, but lack a moral bottom line. They think they are smart, but in fact they are very small.
Although there are people like Roerle among capitalists, they are in the minority after all.
From Chen Feng's worldview, many capitalists actually have some psychological flaws.
The pleasure that comes from exploiting other people's labor and grabbing super profits is just like a gambler's crazy secretion of dopamine when making a killing at the gambling table.
Bad gambling is addictive, and capital exploitation is even more addictive.
The pleasure of lying on capital and seeing white money falling from the sky without doing anything, and then using it to enjoy a luxurious life that ordinary people can't imagine, brings too much pleasure.
This kind of pleasure will accumulate over time, changing and distorting a person's character bit by bit, causing people's profit-seeking instinct to gradually expand, constantly breaking through their moral bottom line, overwhelming all moral values, and eventually turning into a lie.
A villain who has no principles and only pursues profit as his highest purpose.
According to Ryan, this is a dual psychological and physiological biological effect, which is difficult to resist based on human physiological structure and genetic nature.
This time, Chen Feng felt that he had an absolute advantage and no longer deliberately focused on things. He dealt with things more fairly, but he didn't expect that he had done something unintentional.
Because besides him, there are many factors at play in it.
Danger has also appeared.
In the 1960s, the international atmosphere suddenly became very delicate.
Boston scholars, led by the Linton Institute, stood up at the critical moment when the situation was in danger and war was about to break out, and they tried their best to remonstrate.
Coupled with the domestic Xingfeng technology, capital, and influence in the art world, Chen Feng also stepped forward and made the final decision.
The two great powers put down their war in time.
The Fourth World War that could destroy everything was virtually eliminated.
Giving priority to one country has turned into making progress together.
But the strong will always be stronger than the strong.
There is more than just the Xingfeng system in China.
The Ouhe Group led by Ou Guohua naturally took off after acquiring part of the research and development capabilities of Xingfeng Research Institute that Chen Feng sold.
Mr. Ou is indeed more suitable for building a business empire than Chen Feng.
Before Ou Guohua's death, the total value of Ouhe Group even surpassed the once behemoth Xingfeng Group.
After Ou Guohua's death, Ou Tianwen, who succeeded him, was not as capable as his grandfather in business operations, but he was still very similar. By the way, he gave Fatty Ou another title, "Ou Tianwen's father."
In 2230, Mercury's Dyson Cloud reached 10% completion, and its total power generation exceeded the power generation of all other energy sources combined.
In 2241, Xingfeng Aerospace accomplished two things, leading the establishment of a Mars base and launching the new Xingfeng-1.
This time Xingfeng 1 is performing the same mission as last time, scientific research and exploration, to explore the possibility of humans stepping out of the solar system.
16 years ahead of schedule.
It is bigger, more advanced, the ecosystem it has established is more complete, and the direction of advancement is also somewhat different from last time.
Theoretically, it is impossible to be unlucky enough to be swept by gamma rays again, but the outcome is no different, or even worse.
In 2261, without warning, the energy sector, which was unlikely to go wrong, collapsed for no reason.
The energy supply stopped and the material circulation system stopped operating. Six years later, the huge Star Frontier 1 became a pile of floating dead space junk.
To be continued...
