In today's revolutionary storm, China urgently needs a group of people who look up to the stars. The science and technology of the great powers are in
Napoleon said: there are only two forces in the world, one is the sword,The other is the mind, and the mind always defeats the power of the sword in the end.
The German philosopher Hegel also said ifA people cares only about what is under their feet, then thisThe nation has no future; There are only a fewPeople who pay attention to the starry sky, they have hope; If a people can examine their souls, then they have a future.
Speaking of the stars, the tombstone of Immanuel Kant, another German philosopher, bears a passage from his Critique of Practical Reason: "There are two things, the more we think and revere them, the more we fill our hearts with something new."One is the starry sky above our heads, and the other is the moral law in our hearts.
Kant also said, "But admiration and awe, while they inspire us to explore, are not a substitute for exploration." ”
John Keynes, in his famous book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, said: "Practical men who think they are free from any influence of reason, but in reality they often become slaves of a deceased economist." When madmen are in power, they think they are under the command of heaven, but in fact their fantasies are often taken from the ideas of a scholar years ago. I believe that people are overexaggerating bothThe power of profit, in fact it doesn'tNo greater than the power of the gradual penetration of ideas
In the face of authority and totalitarianism, people are ostensibly afraid of powerBut behind the power is the power of thought.
The emperors of feudal society, the rules of monarchs and ministers come from "heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity is like a long night".
Thoughts can change our own destiny, the destiny of our nation, the destiny of the world, and even the destiny of humanity as a whole.
Today, China is leading one of the most important technological revolutions in human history. This round of energy technology revolution,Human energy control capacity has increased by a hundredfold order of magnitude, and human living space has expanded to the moon and Mars.
In this revolution, China urgently needs a group of people who look up to the stars and put forward some practical ideas.
The main issues facing the technological revolution are: and give 9 major issues, how to find a scientific path in this key topic, and sort out the guiding ideology of the industry, and form new wisdom?
We have nine topics, and only the first and second topics will be discussed here.
1: The development of new energy vehicles
2: Improvement of total energy control
At present, the total amount of human energy control is 180 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, and the power generation is about 28 trillion kilowatt-hours. How can we greatly improve the energy use of human autonomy?
If energy is applied to the water cycle in the atmosphere, human control over energy can be increased by tens or hundreds of times, and this energy use can allow humans to exploit arid areas or more land on a large scale.
In addition, the development of outer space also requires a huge amount of energy, and if outer space travel were to reach a tenth of the current scale of aviation, then we would need about hundreds of billions of kilowatt-hours of energy.
3: Direction of development of power and grid technology
4: The status and role of auxiliary energy sources such as nuclear energy, fossil energy and geothermal energy in the future energy
5: How to achieve a breakthrough in energy technology that allows the Earth, the Moon and Mars to travel back and forth with each other
6: What will energy applications look like on Earth in 100 years
7: How to make optimal use of solar energy on the Moon and Mars is directly related to the extent to which the Moon and Mars can be developed
8: How to transform the earth through water diversion and power generation, and what will the transformed earth look like
9: When human beings have a great deal of control over solar energy, such as the full development of the Earth, the Moon and Mars, how will the next step in the development of energy use jump?
In the long history of mankind, the energy revolution is closely related to the lives of each of us, and its far-reaching impact will far exceed the impact of the previous three industrial revolutions. In this energy revolution in full swing, human beings' ability to control and utilize energy has been greatly improved.
Historically, in the long process of human evolution, the energy we can control is limited to living biomass energy and a small amount of raw energy such as hydro and wind power. However, with the advent of the first industrial revolution, the invention of machinery such as the steam engine allowed mankind to master fossil energy sources such as coal, and this technological progress greatly improved human subjective initiative and ability to realize wishes.
Subsequently, the second industrial revolution was based on electromagnetic induction and other electricity, which promoted the transformation and development of electrification, greatly expanded people's living space, and improved the convenience of life and the efficiency of energy conversion and transformation.
The third industrial revolution is dominated by information technology and biotechnology, based on nano, molecular and quantum technologies, which further improves the fineness of human energy control.
When we look at this energy revolution from a historical perspective, just as we look back at the previous three industrial revolutions today, how will people describe this energy revolution a hundred years from now? It may be described as follows: Since the 21st century, due to the contradiction between human energy supply, demand and distribution, nuclear energy and solar energy utilization technology have developed rapidly, so that the total amount of energy mastered by human beings at the end of the 21st century has increased dozens of times compared with the beginning of the 21st century, and formed the ultimate solution for solar energy utilization. In addition, artificial intelligence is also an important part of this energy revolution, artificial intelligence allows human beings to control energy without the human body, so that the combination of energy and artificial intelligence becomes a productive force that does not depend on the human body, thus completely liberating human beings themselves.
Therefore, this energy revolution is a technological revolution based on the use of clean energy such as solar energy and the development of artificial intelligence. Compared with the previous three industrial revolutions, this technological change is more significant in terms of the increase in the total amount of energy, and the subjective initiative of human beings will no longer be limited to the human body, but has been greatly extended. After the completion of the first phase of the energy revolution, human living space will expand to the Moon, Mars and further interstellar outer space. The second phase of the energy revolution is expected to begin in the 22nd century, with the larger-scale application of nuclear energy as the main line, benefiting from the maturity of nuclear fusion, lunar helium-3 application and other technologies, it will be possible for mankind to get rid of dependence on the sun and master greater energy. In the second stage of the energy revolution, the revolution of life technology will also take place simultaneously, and the progress of life technology will make it possible to extend the length of human life, so that the life span of human beings can be greatly increased. The evolution and expression of life will also have the potential to be controlled by the human will.
When the two stages of the energy revolution are completed, the energy revolution will become the most glorious chapter in the history of human civilization.
