Interstellar Industrial Age

On March 11, 2020, the sky in the imperial capital was clear and the air was clear, and there was still a hint of winter cold in March, but the earth returned to spring and all things recovered.

The students either sweat on the playground, or sing their youth in the shade of green grass, or immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge in the library.

University is the best time in life, without the burden of life after graduation, nor the burden of high school before college.

In this green campus, there are only poems and dreams.

Qin Yi carried his schoolbag and hurriedly walked towards the library. Although it was only 7 o'clock now, if he didn't go to the library earlier, he would definitely not be able to get an ideal position.

Huaxia University, as the top university in China, is not the most nervous, but the location of the library. Even if Qin Yi arrives at the library around 7 o'clock every morning, there are already hundreds of people waiting in line at the entrance of the library. Enter.

Here, there are poor students from rural areas like Qin Yi, as well as wealthy children with prominent backgrounds, but regardless of their background, almost all those who can enter Huaxia University are academic tyrants.

If you throw a piece of it here at Huaxia University and turn your head, it is very likely that you can hit several champions. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show how many scholars are gathered here.

There are many things in common between a scholar and a scholar, and diligence is the most prominent one.

After staying here for a long time, Qin Yi is very clear that many people are not only better than you, but also smarter than you, and the key is to be more diligent than you.

Before the library opened, there were already hundreds of people waiting in a very orderly line. There was no confusion in the scene, and there was no sound.

I can't see anyone eating, even if there are familiar people together and talking about something with each other, they will be very quiet, for fear of disturbing other people, or reading silently, or listening quietly with headphones Song.

Qin Yi looked at the long queue and regretted that he didn't get up earlier today. It seems that it is not easy to grab an ideal position today.

"I will be my senior year in the second half of the year, and I will leave this nostalgic place soon. There is really too much reluctance to give up."

Qin Yi watched everything on the campus quietly. In the second half of his junior year, Qin Yi suddenly felt that time passed by so fast. In a blink of an eye, he was already a senior, and he still clearly remembered in his mind that he had just Everything when I entered school is vividly remembered, as if it happened yesterday.

Time flies, three years will pass soon, and the remaining senior year can actually be regarded as graduation for most college students, especially in Huaxia University, many people have completed all their studies early. When I was four, I basically started studying abroad, taking postgraduate entrance examinations, or going to work for internships.

As for his future development direction, Qin Yi has already thought about it. He is going to continue his graduate studies and postgraduate examinations. As for studying abroad, it is still unrealistic for Qin Yi. The economic situation of his family cannot support him to study abroad at all. , it's hard, hard to apply right now.

After decades of reform and opening up, Huaxia has achieved leap-forward development in all aspects. The country has become more and more prosperous and powerful. In many respects, it has become quite confident. It no longer needs to be like when it fell behind and was beaten more than 100 years ago. All need to learn from the West.

What's more, students who study abroad at public expense always have the feeling that they can't lose money by stealing chickens. It is easy to send talents that they have worked so hard to cultivate abroad, but once the talents leave the country, many of them will never come back.

Qin Yi's major is power engineering and engineering thermophysics. This major requires a very high depth of knowledge and is a very professional discipline. Generally, those who study this major will continue to study for graduate school and postgraduate examinations.

"I can make money while studying, my parents are getting older, and I can't put too much pressure on them."

Qin Yi sighed and recalled his years of college life. Although he lived a very fulfilling life, he was either in class, charging in the library, or doing tutoring to earn living expenses every day. He didn't have the time and energy to enjoy the enthusiasm of the youth campus Love, this may be something Qin Yi regrets very much to this day.

In fact, when it comes to this matter, Qin Yi feels a little inferior. In this colorful campus, Qin Yi, who has not been trained since childhood, can neither sing nor play guitar, piano, nor any The talent, and more importantly, the family is very poor, and it is inevitable that you will feel inferior. Even if you meet a girl who is attracted to you, you never have the courage to confess to others.

In a flash, he was already a junior, and he became a senior in the mouths of his juniors and juniors. He was about to run for the future. Thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help shaking his head again. I regret it, maybe it will be more regrettable in the future. I miss everything about this university.

As time passed, the queue at the entrance of the library became longer and longer, and soon it was time for the opening of the library. The long queue entered in an orderly manner, and the sound was still very low and very quiet.

Wang Ying was very lucky. He picked up a seat by the window, took out his book and began to study quietly. Qin Yi enjoyed the feeling of being immersed in knowledge, because when you are immersed in something When you are in the middle, you will find that time passes quickly and quickly.

In a flash, a day passed. At ten o'clock in the evening, the night was hazy, and the cold wind made people couldn't help but tighten their clothes.

Qin Yi carried his schoolbag and walked back to the dormitory slowly. He liked the feeling of fulfillment. After a busy day, he walked slowly around the campus.

Take a look at the flowers and trees on the campus, or find a corner with no one, staring at the starry sky at night, or find a seat in summer and listen to your favorite songs quietly.

Qin Yi walked and walked to an uninhabited lawn, put his schoolbag down very casually, lay on the lawn, and looked at the bright starry sky with his hands on his head.

The bright moon is in the sky and the stars are twinkling. Huaxia has played a role in managing the environment over the years. In the past, this time was the worst time of smog. At night, let alone stars, you could hardly see the moon.

"I don't know when we humans can truly leave the earth and enter the interstellar universe to explore this vast universe."

"I don't know if there are really aliens on the other side of this starlight?"

Qin Yi looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly thought about whether there are aliens in his mind. With the development of human technology, the scope of exploration has become wider and wider. With the help of the most advanced Hubble Space Telescope, humans have even been able to Celestial objects more than 10 billion light-years away were observed.

But so far, human beings have not discovered any alien civilization, and more about aliens exist in science fiction and movies, so that some people even say that human beings are the only intelligent life in the entire universe.

Although this concept seems to scientists to have a feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky, not to mention how vast the universe is, in the Milky Way alone, there are about 100-400 billion planetary systems like the solar system, and the solar system is only among the vast Milky Way. A very insignificant point, and the Milky Way is a drop in the ocean in the vast universe.

"Transportation is what really restricts the development of civilization, and what determines the transportation is power. Perhaps only if we truly master more advanced power technology, we can truly fly in the stars of the universe and explore the world beyond the stars. Maybe At that time, the era of interstellar voyages will follow."

Qin Yi, who studied power engineering, naturally, like other people who study this major, believes that power is the foundation of the progress and development of human civilization.

From the first industrial revolution, from the steam power at the beginning, to the internal combustion engine of the second industry, and then to the motor behind, the power technology mastered by mankind has become more and more powerful, and the development of human civilization has become faster and faster. .

In the past, I thought the earth was very big, but now the whole earth is slowly developing in the direction of a global village. With the popularization of high-speed rail and airplanes, people travel faster and faster, and the areas they have visited are getting bigger and bigger. The range of activities, while the power technology determines the vehicle, in the final analysis, it is actually the power technology.

Of course, different people have their own views on the root of human progress. Sociologists will think that the root of human progress lies in the emancipation of the mind and the liberation of the human self, which is why the rapid development of science and technology is possible.

Educators will think that the progress of mankind is due to the promotion of education and the popularization of knowledge. Everyone has more knowledge than ever before, so they have everything today.

Chemists will think that the progress of mankind is due to the fact that mankind has mastered gunpowder and used powerful artillery to smash everything of the medieval religious knights, and only then has the emancipation of the mind, the innovation of the political system, and so on.

For Qin Yi, he believes that the root of human progress and development is power technology. Power technology determines what kind of vehicles people use, and vehicles determine the scope of human activities.

"It is impossible to rely on current rocket technology to truly enter the space age. The cost is too high. Before we master more advanced power technology, we humans can only be confined to the blue planet of the earth."

Thinking of this, Wang Ying couldn't help shaking his head. Although today's rockets, aero engines, etc. are getting more and more powerful, in essence, the root of this technology is still the technology of internal combustion engines, which relies on burning fuel to generate power.

There has been no substantial breakthrough in the power technology mastered by human beings for more than 100 years.
