Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 457: Pursue eternal progress
After listening to Zhang Yuan's whimsy, John exclaimed in excitement, "Quark can? The beauty you think! But this kind of possible science fiction is really beautiful..."
The people in the surrounding cafes all looked over curiously, so that John quickly suffocated his excitement, and his voice gradually became quieter.
They talked enthusiastically about the humanistic changes, technological changes, and difficulties encountered in the new civilization, and then recalled the past.
John used to be a pessimistic scientist, but now he is benefiting from new technology, completely obsessed with vast amounts of knowledge, and he is full of expectations for the future.
There are more and more technologies that can be realized, including nano-robots, artificial cells and other highly complex things, which have been stuck for a long time in the past, and now they can continue to move forward. In the future trading market, mankind should also be able to harvest a lot of new knowledge, and be able to peacefully access more powerful civilizations.
John changed the topic from the technical level to other directions. He recalled his experience in the virtual world and told a few short stories. The society is still advancing, there are all kinds of novel things to explore and look forward to the future."
"If we don't make progress, human beings will always fall into the vicious circle of internal games, and no matter what, they will become bad."
"Yes," Zhang Yuan felt the same. "A world that is immutable, there will always be so many loopholes to exploit...I have been thinking, is what we are after, is it constant change? "
"Like the heat death of the universe, once in the heat death state, all the atoms are uniformly distributed, and there is no possibility.
"What we seek is to avoid this state of eternal stagnation... eternal change?"
John was silent for a while, "You are right, and I also hate the kind of long-lasting change. A dead civilization is naturally a hundred, but a living civilization is also unchanged, which is really unbearable. Yes. Sometimes, it’s better to be alive than to die."
Everyone has their own different experiences in the virtual world.
But it is difficult for people who do not have the ability to think on their own to return to the real world.
John is undoubtedly one of the best.
"So, as described in the history of new civilizations, our first goal is to pursue eternal progress, and our second goal is survival. Eternal progress is always the first goal!"
"Whoever hinders this progress is our enemy."
This should be the common idea of all transcendents.
After a while of silence, Zhang Yuan asked again: "Have you ever met other old acquaintances? If so, you can chat and drink coffee together, although it feels good to be with young people. But for many things, there is always a little generation gap with them."
"I didn’t look for it very deliberately. I probably saw seven or eight. The return of the entire transcendent has not yet officially started. We are the first batch of returnees, and the number of experimenters will not exceed a hundred. , Don’t expect too much."
John shook his head: "Moreover, it's been so long. I don’t know if they return to this world, or if they are not the people they knew before. Hey, it’s probably for myself. Look for disappointment. Maybe they will come back after the restrictions are released, or maybe they won’t."
"I saw you today, so I couldn't help but rush over to greet me. I feel very happy... and there is no need to find a psychological burden for myself."
Zhang Yuan sighed softly.
Yes, it's been so many years, after so many rebirths, every time you die of aging, you will witness the departure of relatives and friends.
I have experienced more time and time again, and I will gradually see this point away.
What is the most important thing for a person to live in this world?
It’s me!
Except for yourself, no one can accompany you to the end.
In every reincarnation, there are new relatives and friends, and a new life. If you are obsessed with missing old friends and obsessed with the past, then personal eternal life will be a kind of pain.
This person will be lost in the virtual world and will no longer be able to return to reality.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan smiled: "Then, for our new life, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
With a bang, the two gently touched the cups, Zhang Yuan took a sip and joked, "The air is full of philosophical breath."
"Haha, we are all philosophers, but if a society is all philosophers, nothing can be done!" John said: "The society needs more doers!"
"Doers!"
After the party, Zhang Yuan returned home with a hint of meaning.
Turning on the computer habitually, he found that the mailbox was full of scientific research documents. The colleagues in the group were already enthusiastically discussing the next improvement plan. There were also some letters that were asked by researchers from other institutes. Zhang Yuan settled down and responded patiently.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that I had replied to all the documents and read the book for a while.
Recently, he inexplicably likes the book "A Hundred Years of Solitude" written by the writer Marquez thousands of years ago.
The whole book describes the changes in Latin America in the 20th century through a family. People are always lonely, and it is difficult to unify the scattered forces through an effective method. A person with ideals and burdens is often assimilated by the entire society. Just like the fact that Latin America did not rise in the end, the transformation of a society is really too complicated.
There is a sentence in it: "You hate those people so much, fight with them for so long, but finally become like them. There is no ideal in the world worthy of such a sinking as a price."
Everyone who has complex abilities but chose simple ones knows the weight of this sentence.
This is also his normal day...
That's it, time passed year after year, the time to the interstellar trading market was slowly approaching, and the speed of the entire fleet began to slow down gradually.
Due to his excellent grades, Zhang Yuan joined the interstellar diplomat queue as he wished, but his usual work is still the same, and there is not much change, except for occasional personal quality training for diplomats...
Through news reports, we can know that the entire fleet has received communication information from the outer spacecraft of Huantai Civilization.
Simple contact with each other has already begun.
It is estimated that in three years, the two main motherships will stay in the outermost void of the trading market, and then their diplomatic representatives will take some small spacecraft to the exchange.
After all, it’s a trade between civilization and civilization. It is impossible to mobilize all the staff like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and the vast majority of the population will be in the mothership. It is enough to send some elite representatives~IndoMTL.com~There are still three years..."Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and looked forward to that day.
When a great journey finally comes to an end, I don’t know what human beings can gain in the end......
Occasionally, one day, meeting an old friend of the past, smiling at each other, and drinking and talking, can be regarded as a little surprise in life.
Just as John said, Zhang Yuan is an earlier type of returning to the real world. He has only experienced five reincarnations in the virtual world before being kicked out by the artificial intelligence "Sita".
Five reincarnations are the minimum standard. If someone has one more reincarnation than him, it may take 50, 60, or even a hundred years away from the real world.
The entire new human civilization society has not yet prepared for the return of a large number of extraordinary people, so after so many years, no such people as Lin Xuanxuan, Li Zhendong, and Yamamoto Ichiro were found, and Zhang Yuan did not care too much. They may still be in the virtual world, insisting on their ideals and beliefs, of course, it may be even worse... these have no way to force anything, everything can only rely on themselves.
