Chapter 559 Millennium Project

In fact, it is true.

The Millennium Project is the definition of this project by humans. But the millennium does not really take only a thousand years, but thousands of years.

The drawings of the new particle collider were completed with the cooperation of many design institutes, and then they were reviewed and finalized by multiple scientific institutions.

This is the first stage of the Millennium Project.

In the second stage, the engineering department will check the various functional structures, required material properties, various supporting modules, etc. involved in the drawings according to the drawings, and determine whether humans are capable of manufacturing all the components designed in the drawings through experimental demonstration.

At the same time, scientific teams from all aspects will also make efforts in their own fields when the big project reaches this stage.

For example, experts in the computer field are responsible for cooperating with experts in strong artificial intelligence design to design special strong artificial intelligence for mining in major star systems in the future. Theoretical physicists use this time to continue to find loopholes in various principles involved in the manufacture of such a large collider. Experimental physicists form a scientific team to conduct targeted optimization experiments on the functional realization of various module components of the new particle collider.

Of course, I don’t know about computers and physicists. To build such a collider, it also requires the cooperation of all aspects of human beings, covering almost all disciplines. Including overall planning, logistics, management and control, etc.

Astronomy experts are also not idle. They need to collect information from the universe through various detectors to obtain the environmental radiation and spatial distance of a certain space, so as to determine whether it is suitable for building a new particle collider.

There is no need to say much about mathematicians. Their role is not in a single field, but throughout all the disciplines involved in the entire project, that is, they are needed in every aspect.

It can be said that after the new government decided to really start working, all the people who are still useful to society became busy, and even civilians were not idle.

The new government promulgated various support projects required for the construction of a new particle collider in society, including the recruitment of mineral transport personnel and mine patrol personnel.

Although they have ideological imprints, humans are always worried about letting a strong artificial intelligence mine alone in a certain star system for thousands of years, and humans are needed to patrol. The task of transporting mineral resources also requires human participation because humans cannot create so many strong artificial intelligences at once, and they are not confident in a single intelligent program.

The construction also requires the participation of engineering and technical personnel, rather than just handing it over to strong artificial intelligence. This time, the construction project of the new particle collider is a joint operation of humans and strong artificial intelligence.

However, since strong artificial intelligence already has self-awareness, humans do not treat strong artificial intelligence as a slave laborer, but give it a certain respect, mainly reflected in vacations and rotations.

In this construction plan, the first batch of strong artificial intelligence assigned to mine will mine in the target star system for three to five hundred years, and then they will be replaced by the next batch of strong artificial intelligence. The withdrawn strong artificial intelligence will come to the human headquarters for maintenance and repair.

Of course, this requires humans to have enough strong artificial intelligence.

Therefore, the creation of a new batch of strong artificial intelligence is already in the plan to build a new particle collider, and it is part of the plan.

The third stage is mining. In the entire big plan, mining operations in nearby star systems will run through the entire new particle collider project.

Humans plan to start construction in 6 to 8 star systems at the same time. The specific number of star systems to be mined must be determined based on actual detection data and transportation costs.

If the rocky planet resources in the star system are relatively rich, it is estimated that only six star systems will need to be excavated. If the resources are not very rich, it may increase to eight.

The goal of mankind is to use a thousand years to excavate all the rocky planets in the target star system.

After a period of time in the third stage, the fourth stage of the plan will be carried out at the same time.

Humans will begin to actually build a new particle collider in a suitable space position between the selected mining star systems.

The construction phase will be based on the main body of human civilization, processing mineral resources transported from various stars, and then starting construction. Components that can be modularized will be modularized, and precision components that cannot be modularized will be built all the way.

Since it is still in the planning stage, humans do not know how long it will take to build such an astronomical length of particle collider, but it is initially estimated that it will not be less than 1,500 years.

Time flies, and it has been more than a hundred years since humans embarked on the journey.

In these more than a hundred years, experts and scholars from all walks of life and all aspects of human beings have performed their duties and successfully completed the first stage of the overall plan. At the same time, the exploration mission serving this millennium project has also been put on the agenda.

One by one, the advance fleets separated from the main human fleet, and originally intended to explore the stars in the target star field. They would be led by human commanders to explore the stars within the star field.

When the human fleet arrived, they would collect the internal information of several stars in that star field to the headquarters of the human fleet, providing the most authentic data for the development stage of the Millennium Project.

It can be predicted that the several stars in the star field targeted by humans will lose all their rocky planets after thousands of years, and become stars with only gas planets, or naked stars.

Perhaps in the near future, if a low-level civilization arrives in this star field, they may find that there are no rocky planets in the six or seven star systems in this star field. At that time, they may think that it is a strange phenomenon in the universe and study it!

After more than a dozen exploration teams were sent out, the human fleet continued to sail along the original route. At this moment, the fleet was less than a hundred years away from its destination.

Humans seemed to have returned to the time of wandering around. The difference was that this time humans did not encounter other alien civilizations, and the so-called relics were nothing. It seemed that only humans were active in the entire starry sky.

There was a feeling of loneliness and desolation, but humans had long been accustomed to such sailing and running around in the universe.

This may be the normal phenomenon of space travel. Humans have encountered many alien civilizations, but they did not encounter them at the same time and place. They often traveled for hundreds or even thousands of years and traveled through countless star systems before encountering those civilizations one after another.

From the perspective of time span and regional intervals, the alien civilizations encountered by humans are not actually frequent.

Just like this voyage, the human fleet sailed towards the target star field one star at a time, but until it finally arrived at its destination, it did not encounter any civilization. Along the way, let alone alien civilization, it did not even encounter a planet with life. All were the most ordinary and common barren planets in the universe.
