Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 122 Discussion of Civilization Technology

As soon as Qiao Yuwei submitted their technology project application, Ma Zhengzhong saw the contents immediately.

Of course, other professors and researchers also saw it.

"Although I mentioned before that the civilization in the Tianjingchi Civilization Ruins of Baicanshan was skilled in biotechnology modification, I never expected that they would be able to produce such useful technology!" said an elderly man with gray hair but a ruddy complexion, a smile on his face.

"Who can argue with that! Now we have an efficient way to process food, and the energy problem will also be greatly improved!" Another person couldn't help but wipe away some tears from the corners of their eyes.

For the Dragon Kingdom, food and energy issues have always been among the most important problems in the country.

It concerns the maintenance of national order and stability.

After all, several of the former pillar energy projects are no longer able to function.

"But this technology still relies heavily on energy beasts. The efficiency of simply absorbing and converting energy from the air is not very high." Ma Zhengzhong immediately pointed out the key point of the project's achievement.

"I think, comparatively speaking, continuing to accelerate the progress and achieve controlled nuclear fusion technology is more suitable for the domestic basic energy supply system. It's also more stable, isn't it?"

This refers to technologies derived from relics that bear the characteristics of other civilizations, as well as technologies entirely dependent on energy systems. Ma Zhengzhong, as a representative, represents a group within the Capital Research Institute who do not rely on preconceived notions.

In contrast, the other side advocates using the source energy technology system to reshape the original technological system, rather than cautiously conducting trials as is currently the case.

The reasons for the former are clear: first, those civilizations were "losers," and second, their technologies had strong characteristics of those civilizations and were not entirely suitable for humans.

The latter believes that humanity has begun a new round of evolution, and choosing source energy as the fundamental force of evolution is the right choice.

Although there is no obvious conflict between the two now, it still manifests itself in some key issues.

For example, right now.

"I don't understand, Xiao Ma, what good does your rejection of fundamental technologies of the new era do for the country's scientific and technological development?"

A somewhat balding professor seemed to have finally given up on Ma Zhengzhong's "stubbornness" and spoke out directly.

"I acknowledge that energy-based technologies have great potential, and I'm not saying we won't conduct research or apply them."

But the fact is that all the energy-based technologies we currently have are only fully utilized in those relics, and we have not yet been able to fully analyze their technological theories.

The most important point is that we have all seen that after those civilizations accepted source energy technology, their own technological characteristics were inevitably 'contaminated', and they became dependent on source energy to achieve further development! Ma Zhengzhong maintained a calm and confident expression throughout.

"We haven't even reached the limit of the original technology system yet, and now we're just giving up like this, isn't that a pity?"

Even I think this is a form of surrender!

This is a betrayal of the scientific and technological system that humanity has been developing for hundreds of years!

His gaze swept over everyone. "You are all my seniors. I only have one question to ask."

Now, we can abandon our original technological system and embrace a technology system based on energy sources.

So, if we face a more advanced civilization and technology in the future, will we also have to completely transform?

Genetic modification? Consciousness uploading? Mechanical body?

"But our current technology can't achieve the required effect!" another old professor sighed.

Given a sufficiently advanced and feasible technology, it can be implemented simply by changing the system.

It was very attractive to these scientists.

It's like how many students who encounter difficult problems can resist the urge to solve them bit by bit after seeing the complete solution steps and answers!

Ma Zhengzhong's tone softened a bit. "I'm not saying we should give up completely. I know that in the current situation, giving up the source energy technology system would be like tying our own hands."

I'm simply sticking to our current approach of advancing the technology, treating these as small projects to sustain our efforts, and waiting for them to produce results that will convince us to promote their technology.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that controlled nuclear fusion technology is now on the verge of success, he would have agreed to focus his efforts on realizing this technology first.

"Then let's leave it at that!" said the white-haired professor who had spoken first.

The next morning, Qiao Yuwei held the receipt in her hand, looked at its contents, and couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.

"Professor, why is this?! Both mind control breeding technology and energy battery manufacturing technology are urgently needed! Why are they only classified as level three projects..."

"Yuwei, after our discussion, if you can quickly produce results that can be popularized, you can naturally upgrade your level."

"But now, the research institute has more important projects to focus its efforts and resources on." The white-haired professor said, looking at Qiao Yuwei, "Actually, as long as you're willing to join in..."

"No! Professor, the reason I applied to go to the Northern Base to inspect the technology was so that I could have my own project! Now, I will absolutely not give up!" Qiao Yuwei almost crushed the paper in her hand, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"I know, it's Ma Zhengzhong again! Please convey my message to him that I will show him just how important the implementation of these two technologies is to China right now!"

Watching Qiao Yuwei's departing figure, the white-haired professor couldn't help but shake his head.

In his view, science and technology, especially this kind of "alien" technology, are relatively easy to use.

However, truly understanding and perfecting its technical system is extremely difficult.

Moreover, it has been integrated with the technological system of civilizations on Earth.

"In the end, he's still a superhuman, not a real scientist!" He couldn't help but shake his head.

The changes brought about by the energy tides have led many people to join the ranks of 'researchers,' and he acknowledges that these people's abilities are very helpful for the recovery and development of China's current technology.

But those people were not scientists who had studied and researched seriously.

Perhaps we can take advantage of this incident to openly discuss this situation.

Otherwise, it could become a big problem later!

With those thoughts in mind, he walked toward his project laboratory.

Meanwhile, Wu Ou and the others saw Qiao Yuwei return with a grim expression, and then they saw the contents of the document.

"Wu Ou, aren't you angry?" Yan Chi asked, looking at Wu Ou who seemed completely unconcerned.

"What's there to be angry about? Anyway, doesn't this document say that we will be given basic resource support?"

"It has to be the capital! Even the resource support for a level three project is better than what we have there!" Wu Ou smiled slightly and handed the document to Qiao Yuwei.

"Don't forget, we already have a complete plan, and we can even build a prototype very soon, right?"

Qiao Yuwei took a deep breath, her expression resolute.

"You're right! The facts will prove them right; my research direction is correct!"
