Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 548: Unreliable solution
The latest website: Think about it, if a person can retire early after a hundred years of work, or two hundred years of work, instead of the current situation, where the retirement age is 70% of the average life expectancy, then people’s grievances will also be It won't be that big.
Zhang Yuan's conversation turned, his eyes seemed to have traveled across the corridor of time, falling on everyone present. : "But I am here to implore the next captains and leaders of various departments to prevent the implementation of this plan. Any bill on the virtual world must be cautious and careful."
The generals and leaders in the conference room were all direct representatives of the New Civilization School. After listening to these words, they were all taken aback, and then they looked at the female captain happily.
None of them had watched this video in advance. Perhaps it was classified information that only the captain had access to.
The female captain has been opposed to this plan in some previous meetings...
At first they didn't understand why they opposed it, but after some thinking, they gradually understood.
Sure enough, Zhang Yuan smiled and explained: "Why? Because virtual world technology is a black technology. Do you really think we have completely controlled it?"
"We have developed a huge number of virtual worlds, carried out the Transcendent Project, and even screened some talents in the virtual world. It seems that we have used this technology well..."
"Are we really in full control of it?"
"My answer is: no."
"A lot of people are still tempted by it. Our social ideology has undergone a big shift, and we are not even afraid of death."
"The standard for our previous population to enter the virtual world is: when the body ages to the limit, it can enter the virtual world only when it reaches a certain medical standard. This is a common understanding developed in long-term practice and has been widely recognized What the people are used to is also their basic cognition."
"Humans are weak and timid creatures. They have not lived well in this life. They will look forward to the next life. They think that the next life will be more satisfying. This is also the attraction of many religions."
"Our virtual world technology has similarities in the same way."
"So, some people played their cleverness. They gave up their longevity plan and lived their lives in such a futile effort to enter the virtual world as soon as possible. In our age, they were Called the "forsaken", or simply called the "sinker"."
"I believe that in your time, there are still such people, and there are a lot of them."
At this time, everyone was staring at the screen intently, breathing as if they were stagnant.
Zhang Yuan is right. In this era, the population of this kind is indeed much larger than before.
"However, our human beings, the purpose of living, is to enter the virtual world? It is absolutely not the case, it is just the "sinker civilization" that we despise. So we must establish a greater goal, to Reject the temptation of the virtual world."
"In the old days, many congressmen proposed to relax the relevant standards. Some programs are actually very tempting, such as taking long vacations in the virtual world."
"Or squeeze the population into the virtual world, abandon the body, pack it and take it away, so that you don't have to endure the aging of the population... it sounds wonderful."
"But these proposals were very severely judged by us and rejected."
"If you can change a little bit today, you can change a little bit tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, if you change a little bit, the principle is no longer a principle."
"The long river of time can infinitely amplify any butterfly effect, so that in the distant future, a huge storm that we cannot resist will be formed. It is impossible for a single great man to stop this kind of storm! The only thing we can do is Stop the formation of this storm at the source."
"So, this standard is a matter of principle. It is a matter of principle that has long been practiced in the face of black technology. It should not be simply changed!"
Zhang Yuan said word by word: "Even if you are now having a very difficult life, you must stick to your own principles!"
All the people present looked bitter and sighed. They have done this so far.
Someone once proposed a corresponding plan...
However, during the meeting, it was not passed.
Putting a large number of people into the virtual world, abandoning the body, packing and taking away, sounds very simple and easy, and it solves the population problem and the problem of insufficient transportation in the future.
Actually? It is a big trouble to cover up a little trouble.
This is well understood. First of all, it is an ethical question: Are these people who enter the virtual world dead or alive?
Many people think that these people are still alive, so after arriving at the destination, these people are released again, and the fertilized eggs must be hatched again, which is equivalent to changing to a younger body.
However, to return to youth in the real world should be the right that the elites have after passing the assessment of the transcendent.
Why do ordinary people have it?
Some people say that special circumstances should be treated specially. These people have struggled for such a long time, and it’s okay to regain their youth. The extra life span is just a special case.
But in fact, no one can guarantee that the so-called "exception" will only happen once.
When the population returning to youth accounts for half or even the majority of the total population, society will change. What do they think when they are old again? Will they continue to demand exceptions and return to youth?
Do they conform to the ideology of the transcendent?
How strong will this political force be and what adverse effects will it bring?
This is also the so-called big trouble in the future to cover up the small trouble in front of you. It is an unwise choice. People have passed the difficult times now, but the future will be in trouble.
Use a virtual world to provide people with long-term vacations. This policy is the same, because it is difficult to grasp the balance. Now the annual quota for each adult is 15 days. Once it is opened to 30 days, 40 days, happiness is indeed improved, but who knows what kind of troubles will be in the future?
Zhang Yuan was silent for a while in the video and said: "On the other hand, the rapid population iteration plan is contrary to our future longevity plan."
"We humans must adapt to longer and longer life cycles to be able to better adapt to this universe, instead of suffering a little setback or misfortune, hiding in the virtual world and starting a new life."
"The reason why the average lifespan of human beings is controlled at 500 years old is because the current ideology of human society~IndoMTL.com~ is not able to adapt to the higher and higher lifespan. The marriage system is almost abandoned, but we Have not found a more stable social system."
"Actually, according to the current level of technology, the life expectancy of this person can be improved a little bit, I believe you know too."
"Introducing population into the virtual world ahead of time is equivalent to greatly shortening the average life span of human beings, which is tantamount to abandoning the'longevity seed cultivation plan', picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons..."
"Everyone is thinking about entering the virtual world ahead of time to enjoy it. How should we develop in the future? What about becoming a fourth-level civilization? What can a fourth-level civilization with a lifespan of 500 years do?"
"It is common for everyone to work in the virtual world for one or two hundred years. Once a social trend is formed and a habit is formed, how should this kind of thinking be reversed in the future? It is difficult and difficult, so just don't open this hole."
Zhang Yuan spread out his hands and smiled and said, "Then, future friends, in order to deal with future crises, since we can’t directly load the aging population into the virtual world, and we cannot quickly iterate the population, we What should we do? There is only another route: let those who want to leave leave."
