One of the professors suddenly said: "If in the next 3,000 years, the earth's civilization can make another major breakthrough in technology, with stronger artificial intelligence and automated production lines. Maybe, we can build a new civilization, and the industrial population needed can be reduced a lot. "

Ding Zhaodong shook his head slightly: "We shouldn't pin our hopes on the civilization of the earth. No matter how advanced the technology is, a population of 500,000 is still too small."

Another professor also said: "In fact, it is not necessarily true. The history of the earth in the next three thousand years is a good reference."

The group of professors discussed in low tones to themselves for a while.

Academician Ding turned his head and asked again: "So, in view of the problem of small population, do you accept the use of artificial womb technology to incubate a large number of human babies? They have no father or mother, just for the continuation of the new civilization."

Zhang Yuandao: "As far as I know, the artificial womb technology has not yet fully matured."

"If in the future, such an artificial womb technology does appear, what do you think?"

Is this...a political issue?

difficult.

Zhang Yuan thought for a long time, but couldn't find a very smooth and moderate answer.

He said honestly: "Accept it. If reality requires us to do this, we have no choice."

"Humans are not pigs, and their fertility is extremely limited. According to a high population growth rate of 2%, it can only increase by 7 times in 100 years, and 3.5 million people are too few."

"Because of the long-term shortage of resources, coupled with the aging and death of our first generation of high-quality population, it is enough to cause a sharp decline in the quality of the entire civilized population. Even if artificially incubating babies will cause various ethical problems, we have no choice. "

"The starry sky is so vast, and the time left for us is limited. Once the equipment carried on the spaceship ages and we haven't developed a replacement, coupled with the sharp decline in the quality of the population, our new civilization will become extinct on a different planet."

Captain Ma nodded and smiled very strangely.

The atmosphere will become very quiet for a while.

Everyone is thinking about something.

Academician Ding said lightly: "Okay, there is nothing more to ask, you can go out first."

"After we finish interviewing everyone, we will inform you of the final result."

"Thank you, teachers." Zhang Yuan bowed, came out of the room politely, and wiped the sweat off his head involuntarily.

There are a lot of questions that are just too tricky and overwhelming.

As expected of an academician selecting a student, it is... very difficult!

After Zhang Yuan left, the room was quiet for a while.

Captain Ma suddenly smiled and asked, "Old Ding, is my nephew pretty good? If you don't accept him, I'll find another academician to accept him."

Ding Zhaodong also smiled: "He is indeed a good person. Whether it is skill level or ideology, he is quite pragmatic. But let's take a look. If there is a more suitable candidate, I will not favor him because of favor."

"Haha, do you really think that such a genius is a grass on the side of the road, and you can catch a lot of them?"

"Then, please invite the next interviewer."

...

Two days later, the results of the interview came out.

98 points, I don’t know where two points were deducted, maybe it’s because I didn’t answer a certain question very well.

However, 98 points is theoretically quite a high score.

The results of the interview accounted for 40% of the weight of the entire score. According to this calculation, Zhang Yuan estimated that he had already properly ranked first in the "Space Mechanical Engineering" major.

Being admitted by Academician Ding can be said to be a certainty.

Even, affected by this incident, several well-known academicians of other majors also wanted to recruit a wave of graduate students on a whim.

The news spread to the examinee group, causing a small disturbance.

"congratulations!"

"The boss treats you!"

Zhang Yuan was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Everyone can eat whatever they want."

"Big Drumsticks! Big Drumsticks!"

The cunning Li Zhendong actually wanted to eat a 3D bio-printed organ big chicken drumstick costing 100,000 yuan a piece, which made Zhang Yuan's face turn green from fright. He hurriedly said: "If you can steal the chicken legs from the laboratory, you can fine me for it."

The companions chattered: "In fact, this kind of thing is normal. The interviews of other people were dismissed in ten minutes. But Zhang Yuan had an interview for an hour. If he is not admitted, who will he admit?"

"...What kind of questions are they asking? After a while, I'm going to interview, even though I'm just an ordinary professor."

"The problem...it's actually quite difficult."

Zhang Yuan is taking the time to pass on his interview experience. Including those academic questions, the content is quite profound, even if you graduate with a master's degree, you may not be able to answer them, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous questions about culture and politics.

Several girls stuck out their tongues.

"This is not recruiting a master's degree, this is recruiting a doctorate?!"

"It is estimated that the interviews of several other academicians are also abnormal. We don't even have the qualifications for interviews, so we can only watch it as a show..."

"Fortunately, what I met was just an ordinary teacher..."

At this moment, Ye Kaifu hurried over from the J area, his face was beaming, and he happily refused.

"Hahaha, Zhang Yuan, let me tell you a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

What a bad news!

Zhang Yuan said with a bitter face, "Good news."

"Your interview was good. Your comprehensive score ranks first in this major. There is a high probability that you will be admitted by Academician Ding."

"cut……"

There was a dull moan from all, indicating that the news was long out of date. Are you from Reach?

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and continued to ask, "What about the bad news?"

Ye Kaifu gloated: "Someone is dissatisfied and is questioning your interview results!"

What?

question?

Zhang Yuan looked indifferent.

It is mediocrity not to be envied by others. Go your own way and let others talk about it.

"It's not a trivial matter, you have to deal with it if you don't want to."

Zhang Yuan took Ye Kaifu's cell phone, and saw a post on it: "Human affection academic, best academic?" ! "

A student named Cai Kun posted a real name questioning the rationality of the entire interview.

His written test score ranked first in the entire "Space Machinery" major, but the interview result was only 60 points...

"... Zhang Yuan's score in the written test was 2 points lower than mine, but he got 98 points in the interview, which is 38 points higher than mine! The students in the same interview generally only scored 60 or 70 points. Don't you think this is unreasonable? "

"Later, I finally came to a possible conclusion: because Zhang Yuan's father, Professor Zhang Qiming, and Academician Ding were former colleagues. Maybe it was because of the consideration of the former favor that I scored high."

"...I left the earth precisely because I hated all kinds of unreasonable ways of the world. I hope to live in a more perfect and fair civilization. But I didn't expect that there are still people who are so important in recruiting students. The existence of love relationship!"

"Let the capable, let the mediocre, and let the mediocre, this is the most suitable choice for employing people! If you can't even do this, why build a stronger civilization?!"

"...Especially, Deep Space University and Star University have just been established, so we should do a good job in the construction of the style of study! You should not develop this bad habit of taking relationships."

Zhang Yuan frowned.
