As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 392

Chapter 392 The World of 2049 (End)
For most people, 2039 does not bring much anticipation and longing for the new decade.

This is mainly because the wars launched in the past decade have really affected everyone's lives, and everyone is still in the stage of emerging from the shadow of war.

By the time 2049 comes, almost everyone is looking forward to the arrival of 2050.

As the situation stabilizes and technology explodes, everyone has high expectations for the future.

Even after the war, the population of the entire Blue Planet is still over 8 billion.

With this population size, even if the Blue Planet has begun to develop the resources of the moon and Mars, it will not be able to provide everyone with relatively good welfare benefits.

But on the eve of the 1950s, no matter which country it was, at least they could ensure that you would not starve to death if you did not work.

Able to guarantee basic food and clothing.

In particular, the universal drug launched by Sinovation Biotech in 2040, paid for by various governments, covers most diseases.

Universal medicine, this is the name given by the people of Blue Star, and the official name of Ke Chuang Bio is "Pathological Analysis Drug Design Instrument".

It is actually a device, not a panacea for all diseases.

This is actually a long-standing concept on Blue Planet.

Long before the advent of the artificial intelligence wave, people hoped to improve the computer drug design process through deep learning tools.

The ideal situation is that the doctor writes a few sentences to describe the effect to be achieved, then inputs the patient's physical examination data, and AI automatically generates the exact structure of the required drug.

Most experiments before Bluestar still only focused on molecules and their low-level properties, such as logP, octanol/water partition coefficient, etc.

The drug design instrument of Kechuang Biotechnology can provide a higher level of control over molecular design and can easily achieve control through natural language.

It achieves its goals by generating descriptions for molecules and generating molecules de novo under textual guidance.

The data is then transmitted to the backend, and the local pharmaceutical factory produces the drug within one day.

Under the guidance of Zheng Li, Ke Chuang Biotechnology went straight to the point of not only modifying the molecules, but also directly designing them.

Some common molecular drugs can be directly purchased at local pharmacies or drug stores.

After this invention came out, most innovative drug research and development companies in the biopharmaceutical field went bankrupt.

Originally, everyone was living a very comfortable life. Thanks to the application of artificial intelligence in the field of biomedical research and development, it has been basically achieved that only a few researchers can develop a new drug with cost control.

Now they are all wiped out in one go.

Of course, this invention has greatly reduced the cost in the medical field, ensuring free medical care for the people of Blue Star.

Take China as an example, why should we vigorously develop traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine? To put it bluntly, we should be prepared for the situation that Western medicine cannot enter the Chinese market.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine are not useless, but as an experience-based discipline, it is difficult to quantify it with a standard.

You cannot guarantee that the Chinese medicine practitioner or Chinese medicine you see has seen and cured patients with similar symptoms to yours.

And we must ensure that the sample size of patients is large enough.

Going to see a Chinese doctor is a completely black box. In other words, it is like drawing a blind box. What you get depends purely on luck.

Western medicine is like a product of an assembly line.

By 2049, there will be fewer people. The baby boom population is gradually declining, and the number of newborns is decreasing.

Although China was nominally the world's second largest country, in reality the second, third and fourth largest countries combined are still not as good as America.

Now he is de facto number two in the world and can compete with America on his own.

From being fat to having muscles, it is a long and difficult road.

But even though the country is strong and welfare benefits are improved, China has come up with various policies to try to stimulate childbirth. The more stimulation, the less desire there is to have children.

People don’t even get married. The virtual world is so much fun and they have fun in it.

In the virtual world created by other companies, you can even change your gender and enjoy different happiness.

No one wants to get married, let alone have children.

China is relatively good, after all, it has thousands of years of tradition. Europe and America are already working hard to develop artificial womb technology.

Even these countries contacted researchers in science cities and offered them high prices to develop artificial uterus technology.

Back to Science City, in Science City, the researchers' achievements belong to Science City, but whether to sell them and to which organization they are sold is up to the developers of the achievements.

The profits generated are also divided equally between the Science City and the R&D personnel.

The Science City has a positive effect on research and development. Those who succeed in it can obtain the magic brain, and the Science City is safe during wartime.

Let this place become a holy place in the minds of Blue Star scientific researchers.

To be able to become a wizard, one must have repeated successful results and be recognized by Merlin, so his status is comparable to that of a Nobel Prize winner.

Of course, the value of a single achievement may not be as high as that of a Nobel Prize-winning achievement.

However, he can continuously output research results, and he has life-extending potions, so his research career is longer than that of ordinary people.

In the outside world, those who have not been converted to full-time employees in the Science City are called intern researchers, and those who have not achieved results in converting from interns to full-time employees are called first-level researchers.

There is an achievement for becoming a regular researcher called a second-level researcher, and so on.

The one who obtains the magic brain is called a magician.

By 2049, the number of mages in the world has exceeded .

So much so that in big countries, special laws must be issued to manage mages.

During the legislative process, everyone has to go to England to learn from relevant experience.

England is the country with the most experience in wizard administration.

"From the perspective of astronomical observations, we can start capturing (6178) 1986 DA in the early spring of next year."

Luo Shu said after completing this round of observations at the Mars base.

After experiencing many hardships along the way, Luo Shu first used the magic world to successfully obtain an admission ticket to the Science City.

Then he published three results in the Science City and successfully became a magician.

Finally, he became the chief of the human Mars Joint Observatory.

He experienced a legendary life that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Although humans have built a base on Mars, the minerals on Mars are actually very limited.

From the construction of the Mars base to the expansion of the base, most of the materials even have to be transported from the Blue Planet.

Even in 2049, when controlled nuclear fusion has been realized and combined with biophotovoltaics and other new energy technologies, energy will be unlimited.

At the same time, conventional energy for planetary travel uses rechargeable hydrogen fuel cells.

However, relying on transfusions from the blue planet is still an unattainable goal for building cities on Mars and then gradually turning Mars into a habitable planet.

Mars has an atmosphere, abundant carbon dioxide, liquid water, and a day and night cycle similar to that of the Blue Planet, with a day lasting 24 hours and 39 minutes.

But the problem with Mars is that it has no mineral resources.

At least the moon has helium-3 that can be used for nuclear fusion.

This is not rigorous enough. It's not that Mars is without mineral resources, but that the mineral resources on the surface are scarce, and if you want to mine, you have to dig down.

This is not very practical.

After discussion by experts in the field of aerospace of Blue Star, it was decided that instead of digging on Mars, it would be better to capture (6178) 1986 DA in the asteroid belt.

(6178)1986 DA距离蓝星大概2880万公里，以人类在2020年发射火星探测器的最快速度16.7千米每秒计算，到达1986DA只需要花20年。

It is even closer than the distance between Blue Planet and Mars.

At the current speed of Blue Star's rocket, it will take about three years to reach the target. The distance between Mars and 1986DA is even closer.

Blue Star plans to mine on 2050DA in 1986, and then use the resources of 1986DA to build a large-scale city on Mars.

(6178) 1986 DA is an irregular sphere composed of various metallic elements, containing more than 100 billion tons of iron.

In addition, there are abundant platinum, nickel and gold elements on it, with the values being 10 tons of platinum, about 10 billion tons of nickel, and about 1 tons of gold.

There are also a lot of asteroid belts around Mars that can be mined slowly.

This was just the beginning of the Age of Discovery and the first shot in the large-scale use of space resources.

"The observation of 1986DA cannot stop. Remember to set up the automatic capture device before you go to bed at night." After Luo Shu finished speaking, he put on protective clothing and walked out of the base, intending to take a walk outside the base.

"Did you make a mistake again today?
It’s okay to make mistakes, but there has to be a reason.

Mom told you before that it’s okay to make mistakes, but as long as your reasons can convince me, I won’t punish you.

Otherwise you know the consequences." Li Miaomiao said to Li Zhen.

“When we got out of school today, other students had their parents pick them up, but my dad never came to pick me up.

I also found something very strange, why is my dad the only one who can’t touch it?

Even though I could see him, I couldn't touch him.

No one else's father is like this.

Today I deliberately pretended to bump into another kid's dad accidentally, but their dad was clearly within reach."

Li Zhen and Li Miaomiao used Zheng Li's stem cells to differentiate in vitro to obtain haploid-like germ cells, and then combined the germ cells with their own germ cells to create their offspring through in vitro fertilization.

"And I also discovered why everyone else has their father's last name, but I have yours?"

After Li Miaomiao suffered repeated assassination attempts, the only request she made was to have a child.

Most women's thoughts will change. In the beginning, they may feel that it doesn't matter and that it's good to live alone for the rest of their life.

Especially for a woman like Li Miaomiao who holds a high position and has no financial pressure.

There are many examples of successful business women who do not have children.

But after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, my thoughts changed.

Not to mention that many women say it doesn't matter, but the older they get, the stronger their desire to have children becomes.

After making the request, Li Miaomiao was prepared to be rejected. She thought that if she was rejected, she would ask her sister to adopt a child.

It just so happened that Li Shuyao gave birth to two children one after another.

Finally, Zheng Li agreed.

It’s just that both of them are mages, so the offspring bred in this way will not be born until 2045.

That means Li Zhen is only four years old now.

"Didn't I tell you that your father is different from other people's fathers?"

In this era, except for extremely wealthy families, children will be sent to schools that specialize in studying in the real world.

The other children take classes in the virtual world and then take physical education classes in the real world.

All the public schools in the real world only have physical education teachers, and the physical education teachers think to themselves that this is what happened to me.

Li Miaomiao already regretted letting Li Zhen go to some so-called elite education school.

“What’s the difference between him and the others?
Is it because he is a mage?"

"How do you know what a mage is?"

“Because today we are specifically talking about mages, and we said that mages have many magical abilities.

I often see at home that you can close the door without using your hands, and the cup can be returned to the coaster at an angle that does not conform to mechanics. "

Li Miaomiao regretted teaching him too much, as he was almost starting to learn calculus in mathematics.

I should mention here that Terence Tao started teaching himself calculus at the age of seven.

It’s not an exaggeration.

Moreover, the mathematics textbooks developed by the former Sulian expert are from 4 to 16 years old, and the goal is to complete the learning of all university-level mathematical analysis by the age of 16.

Moreover, it is even more difficult than the textbooks of the mathematics departments of China's mid-tier 985 universities.

"Is a magician a superpower?" Li Zhen had countless questions.

Li Miaomiao was not impatient. She knew that her son was a genius and she had made preparations when nurturing him.

Just because of the difficulty of training and her confidence in Zheng Li, she never thought of a second possibility.

Although she hopes her son is an ordinary person.

"Okay, I'll tell you one thing at a time.

First of all, normal children are the product of their parents’ love.”

"What is love?"

"Basically, is there a little girl you want to stay with all the time?"

"Have."

"Then this barely counts as love."

"Okay, I understand."

"But you are not. Your father is only your father in name only. In fact, there is no love between him and me."

"So dad only comes to see us once every six months? Every time you go to see him, you occasionally take me along?
I understand, he doesn't want to be with you at all, but you want to be with him."

Li Miaomiao was somewhat at a loss for words. Although she wanted to refute, she couldn't find any reason:
"It's not like that, it's just that your dad has too many things to do and no time for love.

It's like you are smarter than the average kid.

So you don’t like playing with them.”

"So Dad is a lot smarter than you?"

"Okay, stop discussing this issue.

To answer your other question, your father and I are both mages.

Every time he comes to see you, he sees you in a virtual image.

So you can't touch him.

If you want to see him in the real world, you have to go to the Cité des Sciences or CERN in Europa.”

During the war, in order to protect the researchers at CERN, Zheng Li's identity at CERN was also exposed.

After being exposed, he simply returned the body to his original self, and then went to talk to Europa again as his clone.

In the end, CERN was still under his control.

Because of this, up to now, Blue Star still has no idea how many clones Zheng Li has.
