Chapter 1171

Simon's meeting with the three physicists lasted one hour and basically agreed on a large particle collider project with an estimated investment of tens of billions of dollars.

The specific cost needs to be estimated after the completion of the design. However, the initial forecast is about $30 billion, and it's $30 billion for 15 to 20 years. It doesn't need to be paid at one time. On average, the annual expenditure of up to $2 billion is not painful for Simon.

According to the information Simon has read, the main reason why the cost of the former SSC plan, 22.5km, has expanded from US $4 billion to US $11 billion, and even finally ran aground is that political factors interfered too much and too many stakeholders wanted to get a piece of fat from the world's largest science and technology project at that time.

Similar to US defense procurement from fat to liquid oil.

This time, including the recently renewed ITER project, Simon will not let go of the federal support he can win, but he must guarantee the absolute control of the westero system. If someone wants to come in and suck blood, Simon would rather not have that support. If Washington is not willing to give enough support, or even set obstacles in turn, Simon will decisively transfer the collider project to Europe.

From Simon's current position, the perspective of many issues has gone beyond the country, but the whole human being.

Therefore, where these large-scale science and technology projects are built, political factors can not be completely ignored, but it is not decisive. The key is whether the project itself can really promote the progress of human science and technology.

Seeing off the three physicists again in the small square in front of shell villa, Simon was about to turn around and return to the villa when he watched the car leave. Janet, who was holding his arm, motioned towards the artificial lake of the manor not far away. Seeing a small figure sitting on the bench by the Lake, Simon showed that girl a and others were free to walk with Janet, saying: "it's time to wash the ink Did you take it back? Now school is open? "

Veronica helped Simon complete the financial audit of the westero system. When she left, it happened to be summer vacation. The old man said that he missed his grandson, so she took Melbourne back to Australia.

Janet hummed: "Dad is angry with you. He said that Moore will live in Melbourne in the future, and she will change her surname, Melbourne Johnston, to break the father son relationship with you."

Simon didn't disclose his identity and changed his family name to Johnston's, which can be described as the old man's biggest complaint. Otherwise, now Johnston's family is one of the most famous families on the planet. In addition, the reason for his anger must be that Simon had a group of children recently. Simon didn't deliberately hide this. The old man has always been very concerned about them, and it's not easy to wonder.

Simon doesn't have too many opinions about the old man leaving Melbourne in Melbourne. He's a little worried that the child will be spoiled by Veronica.

Listen to Janet say so, Simon just show the face of being threatened, pretending to be curious: "what about your mother child relationship?"

"Of course, it's the same," Jeanette said with a smile. Knowing that Simon didn't mind much, she pasted up to the man and said, "actually," I'm more interested in life science. "

Simon understands the intention of women. Because of her age, Janet is more afraid of aging than Simon. It's not aging itself, but that she should grow older than him: "anyway, you are responsible for this, and it doesn't matter how much money you spend."

"Solvi's plan is still too slow, just like the girls you raised in Europe and Latin America who haven't grown up yet. I don't have time to wait. Recently, I'm asking them to do a targeted training program. In cooperation with the top universities in the world, I plan to select the most outstanding 10000 college students from all over the world and provide them with full scholarships to transfer to various majors related to life science. In addition, there are plans to set up life science institutes all over the world, "Janet said, frowning and fretting." however, I found that the most critical point of some researches is the legal and ethical restrictions. "

Scientific research on human body often encounters legal or ethical problems.

The typical one is the controversy in the field of embryonic stem cells.

This is almost a dead end.

Even if some research is not aimed at living beings, let alone human beings, such as embryonic stem cells, it is still prohibited by the laws of some countries, because in some people's view, as long as it is aimed at human beings, it is blasphemous. However, if we can only use mice or monkeys, and can not launch direct research on the human body itself, then the mystery of human life will never be solved.

Simon thought about it a little, and said, "let Joseph do the political things. The main reason why politicians in Washington are conservative is to avoid offending conservative Christian voters. We don't need federal funding to do research on our own. Washington will turn a blind eye. In addition, we can also build more laboratories in countries without too strict legal restrictions. In short, it's not a big problem. You have to understand that the more people at the top of the pyramid want to live longer. "

Janet looked at Simon again and said, "do you think I'm going crazy about this?"Simon looked back at him and said, "what do you think?"

Janet tilted her head and began to smile again: "I think you must be more mad than me."

Simon was a little more serious and said: "I just think that sometimes, if the human race wants to continue, it has to put aside a lot of unimportant moral or legal concepts and consider the problem from the survival itself, because not to mention the whole universe, even this planet, people claim to dominate, but they are still as small as ants. The life of the earth has reached 4.6 billion Human civilization is only a few thousand years old. It's ridiculous to say that we are the masters. If we want to continue, we must use all available resources. "

Janet listened attentively and was curious: "what resources?"

"Everything," Simon said, "however, from the perspective of life extension itself, you should have seen some arguments. Human genes have been degenerating for millions of years at most. Even if there are no disasters or man-made disasters, this race will disappear naturally. In fact, this planet has a very large gene pool that can be used by us, but now we have a very large gene pool Similar topics are taboo to many people

Janet blinked, a little out, with a tone of uneasiness and inexplicable excitement: "you mean, people, and animals?"

Simon grinned and touched Janet's head: "what's the bad thing to think about? I mean, microcosmically, any gene on this planet that can be used by us can try it. I remember telling you that our lifespan is determined by our genes, just like architecture, different materials, different structures, and different lifespan. Gene is the most basic building material of biology. Since we have a huge gene pool around us, we can use it for the better continuation and even evolution of human beings, instead of being bound by the so-called bioethics. "

Janet nodded seriously, but suddenly said, "well, if one day I have a horn on my head, will you still love me?"

"No

Janet picked up Simon's arm and began to bite, muttering, "little bastard."

Simon left Janet to grind her teeth and said with a smile, "if you have a horn on your head, it only means that you have misused the gene that should not be used. I agree that human beings should use the gene pool of the whole earth, but it has not been said that it can be used at will. Scientific and rigorous attitude is still necessary."

As she approached her daughter, Janet let go of Simon's arm and said, "in fact, I think a lot of people should have the same idea as you, especially scientists."

"What do you say?"

Janet said: "don't you see that many scientists are calling for the protection of the earth's biological diversity and, more frankly, the protection of the earth's genetic diversity. If they don't have similar ideas with you, why should they advocate these? I don't think they are just pure environmentalists."

Simon thought about it and nodded in sympathy.

Then he came to the artificial lake on the northwest side of the manor.

Under the protection of two ladies, Seattle, sitting on a bench by the lake, is playing with a toy that she is very interested in during this period of time.

Paper airplanes.

Beside the little girl, there is a storage box of 30 cm cubic meters, which is full of paper airplanes. Right in front of the bench, four or five meters away, next to a small wharf protruding from the lake, there is another storage box with the same size, in which there are many paper airplanes.

Although she must have found her parents approaching, the little girl was indifferent and played with the paper plane in her hands seriously.

Simon and his wife did not disturb, temporarily stopped patiently watching.

I saw the little girl put a paper plane in her hand, and gently tossed it, as if to test something. A moment later, the girl raised the plane in her hand, seemed to feel it for a moment, and then threw it. In the breeze of Linhai villa in autumn, the paper plane made of 32 open paper circled a crooked S-shaped flight curve in the air, and finally fell into the storage box on the small wharf.

Even though they have seen this picture many times, Simon and his wife are still surprised to see the paper plane fall into the storage box.

Finding that her daughter was still indifferent to her parents' arrival and was about to continue, Janet took Simon forward, picked up the storage box full of paper airplanes and put it on her lap. She sat down beside Seattle and said with a smile, "baby, tell mom how to do it?"

Simon sat down on the other side of his daughter and saw Seattle quietly continue to play with the other paper plane in his hand. He solemnly reminded: "don't turn a blind eye to your mother, or I'll have to punish you."

The little girl felt a little distressed after hearing the speech.

You can't listen to your father's words, because you will be punished.

It's not corporal punishment, of course.

Instead, the little girl has already had experience. Once her father gets angry, he will arrange for her to really do what a child should do.

Like little Nick or something.

The little girl felt terrible when she thought about it.So he surrendered decisively, turned to look at Janet, and said in an obvious formulaic voice, "good morning, mom."

Seattle is Jennifer's daughter. However, because she dislikes her two stupid sons, Janet insists that Seattle should be her own child. She also insists that the girl call her mother. Gradually, she gets used to calling both jennies mother instead of calling aunt Jennie as she does in Melbourne.

As for Janet's question, the little girl naturally ignored it.

I can't explain that.

The little girl felt that if she explained a lot of physical formulas related to the flight trajectory of paper airplanes and even complex calculations related to chaos theory in her mind, and whether the mother could understand them, it was most likely that her father would let her be a child again.

Seeing Simon's serious warning to her daughter, she was not happy. She glared at the man, hugged the girl and comforted her intimately. She ignored Simon and said happily, "come on, mom, play with you."

Janet said, picking out a paper plane and signaling her baby daughter to go ahead.

Seattle naturally continues.

Because all the paper airplanes are newly folded, she doesn't have the habit of using them twice. It's too boring. Therefore, it is necessary to test first, weigh the weight of the paper airplane in your hand, throw it up a little, confirm the center of gravity structure of the paper airplane, raise your face, and feel the wind speed and even the temperature at this time.

Finally, we observed the environment from the bench side to the storage box on the small dock, then raised it and threw it out.

The paper plane's flight path is C-shaped, no suspense, once again accurately fell into the girl's visual distance 493 cm storage box.

"Wow."

Janet praised it. In fact, since the girl began to play the game, she invited professionals to analyze it. The professor of aerodynamics at the University of California watched the little girl make 30 shots continuously, but he just said it was impossible, stressing that it was unscientific. Dr. Malcolm, as like as two peas in the Jurassic Park, has made a demonstration. In a simple way, a drop of water is flowing from the back of his hand and disturbed by countless subtle factors. It is impossible to slide the same trace with another drop of water.

This is chaos.

Chaos is not unpredictable, but too difficult. The typical one is weather forecast. Because there are too many factors involved and human beings have limited computing resources, meteorology, which has been sprouting since the 16th century, is still unable to accurately predict the weather.

A little girl, who was just four years old and more than a month away from this time, broke through a small miracle involving the prediction of complex chaos without any instruments and with her own brain.

Small is really small.

If we take these paper airplanes to a professional laboratory, develop and design various professional equipment, including testing the physical structure of paper airplanes, testing the environment, and even manufacturing a specific external environment, as well as a precise launching device, scientists may be able to deliver a paper airplane to a storage box several meters away through complex calculations .

However, the professor of USC himself said that such a device, including the corresponding experiments, could not be built without a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Only if someone's brain is pumping.

A miracle, of course, is a miracle.

Because the little girl's paper plane game, not only involves all kinds of complex calculations, but also requires the girl's strong perception of the surrounding environment, as well as the precise control of her own limbs.

Without any link, it is impossible to put the paper plane into the box.

Jeanette asked the professor why her own girl was like this at that time. The professor, who was still in a state of bewilderment, could only speculate for a moment that the little girl enjoyed the pleasure of this complex mental activity, just like an ordinary child enjoying the pleasure of ordinary toys.

In the end, the professor also hoped to do some research on Seattle. Of course, he was rejected because he signed a confidentiality agreement in advance, and even couldn't make it public. He just left disappointed after getting a reward.

The man-made lakeside of domay point manor.

There were more than ten paper airplanes in the storage box. The mother and daughter were one and a half. The little girl was very devoted to repeating her game. Seven out of seven, Janet got two more paper airplanes than her daughter. Nine out of zero, so she was a little angry and spoiled with her man. At noon, she wanted to catch a baby son's duck in the artificial lake to roast.

The pair of wild ducks raised in Melbourne have now become a group. Except for Jack and Emma, who are sweethearts, others are actually eaten by some unscrupulous mother.

Simon had no choice but to agree to what he could say.

Janet is recruiting a waitress to catch the ducks. Jack and Emma can't eat them. The rest is just in autumn, when the ducks are fattening.

Then I started to discuss with my baby daughter.

What's so interesting about paper airplanes? Let's study some knowledge about life sciences. In the future, let's let mom live to 1000 years old, dad is so fierce, 900 years old. Balabala.
