Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 628 Thinking Too Simple
As time went by, this group of dog-headed people in the Tianmen exploration project gradually came to understand some concepts such as biosensing, robots, and operating systems through endless sighs and studies, and thus came into contact with some things inside the base.

The dog-headed people gradually gained a certain understanding of common sense questions such as how the base gate operates, how a spacecraft takes off, how the base operates, and what the functions of various equipment in the base are.

Of course, just having a concept is definitely not enough. They must understand everything in the base, from small parts, steel plates, and patches to various equipment, mechanical structures, and spacecraft in the base. They need to learn them all.

But they certainly can't learn it all at once, because many things are too difficult for them. Even if there are clear operating instructions, they can't learn it. The reason is that they lack basic knowledge.

The ogres are but a primitive civilization. Even if all the instructions are clearly written in front of them, it is not easy for them to learn. The kind of personal heroism in the movies where one rushes into an alien battleship, controls the alien spaceship, and learns everything at once is impossible.

The technology gap is not so easy to make up. After several months of study, the kobolds found that it was impossible for them to learn everything in the base with only 300 kobolds. Not to mention everything in the base, even the driving of a transport ship requires thousands of kobolds to cooperate in various positions.

When the person in charge of the Tianmen Exploration Project received this news, his face looked extremely ugly. It takes thousands of dog-headed people to complete the control of a spacecraft, and these thousands of dog-headed people must have been trained in professional knowledge and have a solid basic knowledge.

What does solid basic knowledge mean? It means solid basic knowledge in the language of the 'God of Light Civilization', not the language of the kobolds. This means that if calculated based on the current knowledge level of the kobolds, it would require thousands of scientists with the world's top expertise and they would also need to learn the knowledge of various positions on the transport ship.

At this moment, the dog-headed people once again felt the greatness of the "Light God Civilization". They had never thought that such a situation would occur. When they just began to understand the basic concepts of various creations in the base, they thought that it would not take long before they could use all kinds of high-tech equipment and instruments in the base and even spacecraft.

However, after slowly understanding the knowledge required for each kind of creation and each position, they realized that they were too naive. All the scientists involved in this plan felt their own ignorance, especially after learning about the technical information stored in the base system. They deeply felt the sigh of "life is limited, but knowledge is unlimited". Every top professional scientist has a realization that they all think that they will not be able to learn all the knowledge related to their profession in the base in their lifetime.

Because learning is not just about rote memorization, it also requires them to truly understand and create the principles behind each technology.

This is undoubtedly a huge project. The dog-headed man in charge of the plan has also received feedback from a group of scientists. He is very distressed now because neither he nor the country behind him expected such a result.

The scientists told him that if they were to rely on just the 300-odd Kobolds, they would not be able to learn all the science and technology in the base even if they spent their entire lives. The one who complained the most was the linguist, who said that if he and a few colleagues translated the information in the base alone, they would not be able to finish translating it even if they lived ten times longer.

Moreover, he could not translate some scientific and technological materials, because in order to understand scientific and technological materials in various fields, one must have professional knowledge in the corresponding fields. In this way, unless he is proficient in all fields of knowledge, it is impossible to complete the translation work. Therefore, this linguistics dog-headed man and his colleagues suggested that all scientists should first learn the "Word of God" and the language of the God of Light at the same time, which is the most efficient way.

This view was supported by all scientists, and at almost the same time, these scientists from various professional fields also suggested that the exploration team must be expanded.

When the dog-headed man in charge of the exploration of Tianmen asked how many people were needed, the answer he got was that at least three million dog-headed men would be involved, of which more than ten percent must be top scientists, and the remaining dog-headed men must also be senior intellectuals and professional researchers engaged in research in various fields.

The minimum requirement is to have a degree from the Imperial College. The degree from the Imperial College is the minimum entry standard, but it is only an entry standard. It must also be tested to ensure that the student who graduates from the Imperial College has real talents and knowledge, rather than being a half-baked graduate.

Of course, it would be best to have researchers who have work experience in various fields, such as researchers in major laboratories and various scientific research projects.

But how can Yanhuo Nation, a dog-headed nation, find so many high-level talents? Three million, and 10% of them need top scientists. That's not three million pigs, where can we find so many talents!
Although the Rock Fire Nation is now the world's top technological power, it can't produce so many high-end talents. In fact, if the technological level of the Kobold world is more advanced, it won't need so many Kobolds, but based on their current level, they will need so many.

Up to now, a group of more than 300 dog-headed people have stayed in the base for more than a year. Those who are more talented in linguistics have already learned Chinese characters and broken Chinese. After obtaining authorization from the base management AI, these dog-headed people have begun to come into contact with some of the technologies placed by humans in the base. It is precisely because these dog-headed people learned about these technologies that they lamented "I lament the brevity of my life."

At first, they thought they were so great that they chose to look at those high-tech things directly. In the end, they had to turn around and start learning from the parts of the technology that were at the same level as the kobolds. Fortunately, the technology information stored by humans was a complete set, otherwise they would really be in the dark.

Things were not as simple as the ogres had imagined. They thought that as time went by, the science and technology they acquired from the 'Residence of the God of Light' would advance faster and faster, and they should be able to learn almost everything in two or three years. After all, except for Wei Shiba, Gou Erpang and some administrative staff, these more than 300 ogres were all high-end talents and the top scientists in the entire Yanhuo Country.

However, the facts told them that this was far from enough. Their scientists needed multiple scientists plus their students to form a scientific research team to be responsible for a certain branch of technology recorded in the base. And the number of technological items in the base was more than the number of ogres they had.
