Chapter 424

Looking at the report documents signed by more than a dozen scientists including Huang Yuan, Mo Xiangsheng, and Shen Qingyuan's hand began to tremble slightly.

Shen Qingyuan originally thought that the situation had reached the worst. The so-called bad luck came. After the worst stage was passed, things often turned around. But Shen Qingyuan did not expect that the situation would be even worse than he expected.

The migration plan that had been planned for many years was forced to be cancelled, and dark matter particles were confirmed, which forced people to continue to stay in the Phoenix Galaxy, study and search until they found materials that could resist the influence of that particle before they could set sail again. The dream of reaching the earth alive has been completely shattered. Isn’t this bad enough?

However, who would have thought that scientists have proved that no known material can withstand the influence of dark matter particles? If the previous difficulties may be solved within decades or hundreds of years, the current difficulties may be exhausted and the future of human civilization cannot be found.

One is applied physics and the other is basic physics. These two difficulties are not at the same level at all.

Can the breakthrough of basic physics be that simple? In the entire history of human civilization, the breakthrough of basic physics has only been a few times. The most recent technological leap was even more than 3,000 years ago when humans had not left the solar system and the robot crisis had not yet erupted. Sometimes even scientists doubt whether the next breakthrough in basic physics can be ushered in the entire life course of human civilization. Now, scientists say that without a breakthrough, it is impossible to leave the Phoenix Galaxy?

Shen Qingyuan suddenly coughed violently, even to the point of breathlessness. The head of the medical team and the secretary of life hurried in and wanted to step forward, but Shen Qingyuan raised his hand to stop him. After a long time, Shen Qingyuan stopped coughing, but there was already a lump of red blood on the tissue in his hand.

The head of the medical team carefully picked up the piece of tissue, took a look, and said, "First of the People's Republic of China, your condition has worsened. I suggest you start the second stage of treatment today."

As the blood was coughing out, the feeling of stuffiness in his chest seemed to relieve a little. Shen Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "You guys go out first."

The life secretary and medical team leader left with concern, while Huang Yuan and several scientists entered Shen Qingyuan's office half an hour later.

"Tell me, how do you guys solve this problem."

Shen Qingyuan straightforwardly raised this question directly.

Huang Yuan and his companions looked at each other, pondered for a moment before saying: "Only when basic physics is broken through and dark matter is fully incorporated into our theoretical system, we can find a way to leave safely."

"How can I break through?"

Dr. Huang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Increase investment in basic physics research."

Shen Qingyuan said in a Senran: "Is there not enough investment now?"

Huang Yuan knew that Shen Qingyuan was a head of state who attached great importance to scientific research and education. In the policies he implemented, nine percent of the total civilized economy was invested in scientific research and education every year, and this amount even exceeded military expenditure. And of these nine percent, more than three quarters were invested in scientific research.

Even the most demanding people cannot say that Shen Qingyuan has invested less in scientific research. On the contrary, many people have always criticized Shen Qingyuan's policies for being too biased towards scientific research and education.

Before coming this time, Huang Yuan had already known what the Head of State would ask him and had prepared a draft in advance. However, facing the Head of State's inquiry, Huang Yuan found that he could not speak.

But these words are to be said in the end.

Huang Yuan raised his head and looked at Shen Qingyuan with all his courage: "Yes, not enough. The analysis of our scientist team is that at least 40% of the economic output value that year is invested every year in scientific research, so that we have the hope of solving the dark matter problem within a thousand years."

Shen Qingyuan's eyes suddenly opened, and then he sneered: "Forty percent? One thousand years? Is it just possible? Huang Yuan, in my impression, you are not a person who likes to joke."

This is too ridiculous and impossible to achieve. There are so many things in a civilization that require money to spend on anything. However, the total amount of the economy is limited. If you invest more money in scientific research, the rest of the things will inevitably be reduced. It is almost a fantasy to increase the scientific research fund from less than 9% to 40%.

Huang Yuan knew very clearly what his proposal meant. Faced with Shen Qingyuan's sneer, his mood gradually calmed down.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, basic physics research has never been an individual or a civilian behavior, because individuals or a civilian cannot afford the huge amount of funds required for basic physics research. Only the government has this ability. Do you know? The most common particle accelerator for scientific research costs hundreds of billions of yuan, and it can only support up to one hundred particle collision tests a year, which is only enough for up to one thousand scientists to obtain the experimental data they need. The interstellar super particle accelerator equipped in our institute has even been 300 years later.

Modern scientific research requires millions and tens of millions of scientific researchers to work together to pry open the door. If scientists cannot even complete the tools used for experiments, how can we make theoretical breakthroughs?"

Shen Qingyuan said coldly: "Forty percent, it's impossible."

Huang Yuan said: "Head of the People's Republic of China, don't you understand? The universe is too vast, and we humans are too weak. If you want to explore the origin of the universe and understand the mysteries of this universe, we originally required us to do our best to have hope. Don't be blinded by the comfortable life in the solar system. Our experience at this moment is the norm in the universe."

Shen Qingyuan looked indifferent and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Huang Yuan said again: "If it was a peaceful time, our scientists had the time to slowly study it with only nine percent or less of the total amount of civilized economy every year, relying on the accumulation of time to achieve the final breakthrough, but now, we have no time. Not to mention that our generation of scientists will gradually grow old and then die, the problem that the deformity rate in the new generation of babies will become higher and higher, just talk about this Phoenix Star - if until it exploded and we have not found a way to escape the galaxy, the many projects you built, the various tools purchased by the people, the film and television works that artists spent huge amounts of money to shoot, etc., what is the meaning of all this? Only when you live will you have everything, and if you die, you will have nothing."

Shen Qingyuan waved his hand: "You guys go out first."

Shen Qingyuan did not directly refuse. Dr. Huang Yuan and others also knew that this decision was too important. Once the head of state decided to invest forty percent of the annual economic output into scientific research, then earth-shaking changes will occur in civilization, which will truly affect everyone and encounter countless opposition voices. It is possible that the pension will be completely cut, the infrastructure may be completely stopped, taxes and fees will be raised on a large scale, prices will soar and even the rationing system will be implemented, working hours will be greatly extended, but the salary will be only one-something as originally.

This is almost equivalent to supporting the scientists' community with the power of all civilizations, so that scientists can find a way out. This will completely subvert the previous lifestyle.

Huang Yuan and others left quietly, while Shen Qingyuan sat alone at the desk and pondered for a long time. It was not until the medical team leader couldn't help but want to force himself into checking if an accident happened that Shen Qingyuan left his office with a calm expression and then came to a room hidden in the corner. Although it looked inconspicuous, it was secretly protected by the most stringent room.

So the secretary knew that the head of state would need to stay alone for a while. During this period, whenever there was a major difficulty or a major and severe change in the situation, the head of state would come to this room alone for a while. No one knew what was in the room, and what the head of state did in the room. People knew that before entering the room, the head of state might be full of worries, might be furious, or sad, but after coming out, the head of state would inevitably return to peace and become the confident and strong civilized leader again.

Shen Qingyuan logged into the game again, manipulating the character named "Slaughter", and slaughtering everything he could see in this virtual world. So a burst of exclamations immediately sounded in the chat channel: "Slaughter is here! He is online!"

"Go back to the safe zone! Run!"

"Let's watch silently for those monsters."

"This man is simply a lunatic!"

"Do you know? I heard that the Slaughter is a somewhat perverted rich second generation. I have a friend who once had a meal with him. With just one meal, the Slaughter spent millions!"

"Brave! What kind of meal can cost millions in one meal?"

"Hehe, that's why I said this guy is a bit perverted. Do you know what programs are prepared at the dinner?..."

"Massacre, why do you, the guy who died in your family, kill me? I've been fighting for five days before I get the equipment!"

Shen Qingyuan ignored the information constantly refreshed in the chat channel. He was just killing for no reason until half an hour later.

He closed the game on time and left the room. The secretary and others who were waiting outside the door were surprised to find that Shen Qingyuan, who had previously looked indifferent, had a confident smile on his face again.

He was still energetic, still tall, and his every move was still full of domineering.
