Physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology ... have countless knowledge to learn, Oliver can only squeeze his rest time again, his poor sleep time is only 4 hours short, if not super human, would have collapsed! Like swallowing a lump, his requirements are not high, not to be very proficient, but at least be able to understand the terminology in the program it.
What he learned on Earth is not much, and the United Government is more interested in his long-lived body than a smarter brain. After all, a brain with an IQ of 160 like his is still attainable by some Earthlings, but a super high physical fitness with a very high life expectancy is unique.
So, he became a soldier in ignorance, under the deliberate arrangement of some people. People wanted to know how much potential he really had, and indeed, his physical quality was getting higher and higher in his training ...
It can be said that the first half of Oliver's life, are among the ** control, even if he is super human, there is no way to resist, he has no choice. But now it's different, he became the last leader of humanity, he must use his own brain, leading people out of a way of life.
He began to learn, tirelessly learning. However, the ocean of truth is so vast, even if he is a great deal smarter than ordinary people, it is impossible to learn all the things in a moment.
Modern natural science originated at the end of the 19th century, and after more than 200 years of development, thousands of branches of science have been created, and many of the work has been extremely refined. There is so much to learn that a person can't learn it all in a lifetime.
Most scientists nowadays are only proficient in one or several fields, and there will never be an all-round scientist like Descartes or Newton.
So Oliver headache, people have studied a lifetime of things, he can not be proficient in a few days. For particularly esoteric issues, even Yuriko can not understand things, can only be temporarily suppressed, so that the review team under the hands of the discussion before deciding, but in this way, the efficiency of work will be much lower.
In fact, the outline of the space program has already been developed, and most of the energy indicators are grasped by the individual project leaders. Most of the programs are heard by the chief scientists.
What Oliver saw were the proposals that were brushed off and then presented to him again. As the base leader, he also had a small number of energy indicators in his hands, and could allocate them on his own. This was good, and some scientists flocked to him like hyenas smelling carrion.
Their programs are not bad, but they always have such and such shortcomings, some are too radical, some are unsafe, and some take too long. People's time is too little, only five months less than the point, the opportunity is only once, it can be said that only success not failure. So it's understandable that those in charge of the project are leaning toward a more prudent solution.
But those scientists who were rejected were not convinced, why I worked hard to come up with a bad solution? They wanted to find Oliver to get the energy indicators and wanted to prove that their program was excellent.
These programs, like the sky, full of imagination, not to mention, there are really a few programs were adopted by the adoption. This is good, more and more people submit to Oliver, and do not care about the garbage, in case it passes?
He was too busy to read them, and after reading some of them for half a day, he found that the basic assumptions were wrong, which made him almost vomit blood.
Oliver could only make up his mind and sent a notice: "Effective immediately, after the program is rejected again, will not accept all programs of this author within a week!"
This means that everyone should take it easy and don't waste time by posting garbage proposals, otherwise all proposals from the same author will be killed! This finally cleared up a lot, and everyone started to be more careful and post the most reliable ones.
Oliver finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On this day, an old acquaintance came to the office, the general director of the agricultural transformation program - Dr. Roman.
"Time flies, a month is about to pass. With everyone's efforts, the first batch of vegetables are about to mature, including cabbage, carrots, celery and so on."
Dr. Roman presented up a report, "The vegetable production is expected to be around 50,000 kilograms, although it is not much, but this is only the first batch, there will be a second and third batch later ..."
"So, the food crisis is about to be over?" Oliver settled down, recalling the efforts of this month, suddenly there was something moving.
Fifty thousand people, from a scattered plate to full of cohesion, from despair to optimism, it took just one month. Fifty thousand people, just gritting their teeth step by step to persevere.
This month's time also allowed Oliver himself to grow a lot, from a simple-minded soldier, to a qualified leader. At the beginning when Calvin forced him into power, he was still vaguely resistant, but now, he is fully able to take on this responsibility.
"At the beginning, many people claimed a vegetable seedling, right? Distribute this vegetable to them as a memento ...," Oliver said.
"This is no problem." Roman nodded his head.
He hesitated for a moment, seemed to be organizing language, suddenly looked tight, said in a proper voice: "Oliver ah, let me tell you something, about the large ecosphere of that program have you read?"
Although Roman is the main person in charge of the food transformation program, but in the space program, food is no longer in the scope of consideration, he basically did not get the energy indicators.
Oliver's heart moved, the business came, he said depressingly, "Doctor, you have such a big project in your own hands, just free up a little energy, why do you still want me?"
"That won't work!" Roman shook his head, "I diverted a little bit of resources, food production will be less, do you want to?"
Of course not, Oliver shook his head.
"I'm telling you, a large ecosphere must be established! Although this time the food crisis is basically over, but what about the next time? Do we have to rely on huge industrial capacity again and waste huge resources to produce so little food? This is a shameful waste!" Roman said excitedly.
"In economic terms, it's unthinkable that we spent two trillion dollars in productivity to produce fifty thousand tons of food!"
"Our ship is so huge that if a stable ecosphere is established, people can totally survive in it for a long time! There's gravity inside and space is wide open, so why not?"
"Our current space target is Mars, but can we transform Mars to be like Earth? With our level of technology, it's impossible! How about getting down to earth a bit and transforming this ship!"
"You have to understand that when we go to Mars, we are merely gathering resources, after all, the moon is still too poor. But in the end, we still have to rely on this ship to survive, with such a huge volume inside, able to survive tens or even hundreds of millions of people! A large ecosphere is a must!" Dr. Roman droned on, and even Yuriko, who was trying to read the program on the side, looked at it a few times.
"Yes, you're right! I can understand that." Oliver laughed bitterly, "But this project can't be completed overnight, a year or two is not enough, up to ten years is possible! We don't have so much time and so many hands."
"Yes, but the sooner you start, the sooner you finish." Roman said expressionlessly, "Later, when the population is larger, what kind of pigs and sheep are farmed, consumed, and more troublesome. From nothing to something, from small to large, from simple to complex, this is the link that must be experienced."
"We now all rely on industry to maintain the ecology, energy consumption is large, not to mention, in case the machinery is broken? What if the power goes out? Whether from a safety point of view, or a sustainability point of view, I think it is necessary to set up the ecosphere. ""
"Biological experiments, the energy needed is very little, I just need manpower, this thematic group must be set up as soon as possible! You give me just one or two people!" Dr. Roman took out the air of the chief biologist, I just asked you for something to come, give or take, right?!
Oliver suddenly did not know what to say, alas, also do not know how to refute ... moon base has had several relatively serious ecological problems, once a massive leak of oxygen, and once industrial toxic gases drifted into the base, both caused major casualties.
He also knows the importance of establishing an ecosystem, but the problem is that everyone is so busy, where someone hands ah?Oliver frowned and thought for half a day, alas, forget it, the hand to review the members of the discussion group to allocate two to him.
Roman was satisfied and left.
The first foot just left, the second foot came another scientist, this person Oliver know, is the Earth Alliance's famous nuclear physicist - Professor Ding Yidong! He was a little thin, in his sixties, with a little white hair on his temples, but with a strong middle voice and a loud speaker-like voice.
"Oliver, my nuclear weapons program, it must pass!"
