Chapter 292 Short-lived and long-lived species
Zhao Qingfeng pondered for a while: "I think we can advocate people's natural death from the perspective of public opinion and leave social resources to future generations. Let me be the first representative of natural death... and there should be many such representatives."
"It's useless, Senior Brother Zhao."
Zhang Yuan smiled and then said: "You are a fighter with firm beliefs. For the sake of the entire civilization, you are not afraid of death, but others are afraid. Even religion has not eliminated human fear of death, let alone ordinary public opinion pressure?"
"You can't ask everyone to be like you, and there are still the vast majority of mediocre people in the world. Such role models have no meaning. At most, they can only delay the process of history... In the end, what will happen or what will happen."
Zhao Qingfeng said again: "So, everyone will live forever, so what? While our population is not large now, there are only ten million, and it is actually nothing wrong to have an eternal lifespan of the whole nation."
This was a pertinent opinion, but Zhang Yuan shook his head.
"No, I've thought about it. For some aliens with long lifespans, this solution is feasible, but it's still not for humans. Human behavior patterns are not suitable for long-term lifespan."
Zhang Yuan turned on a surveillance camera, and the screen showed the crowd coming and going in the central square, young people were talking about love here, and some children were participating in social practice.
"We are short-lived species, and our every move, behavior pattern, and the philosophical concepts in our minds are all short-lived species."
"A person from childhood to adulthood, to death, all of this gives meaning to survival."
"And if we evolved into the species of immortality, a large number of meanings about survival will disappear, and social interactions between people will undergo earth-shaking changes. If we are creatures evolved from jellyfish, and each person has a lifespan of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, then I think there is no problem in transitioning to immortality, but it is absolutely impossible now..."
Think about it, there are always gaps between people. This gap exists innately and also in acquired ways.
It is understandable that high-level people can gain more wealth and better treatment by working hard. This is something that everyone can accept now.
Who makes these high-level people smarter and harder?
But if everyone is an immortal, nothing will be willing. As time goes by, a thousand years later, ten thousand years later, the gap in wealth will undergo a qualitative change!
Not only wealth, but also various things such as connections and power. According to the current social model, if there is no fresh blood injected, humans with immortal technology will soon turn into a pool of stagnant water and emit real decay.
"There are turmoil and uneasy at the worst, and the worst is the complete collapse!"
After deducing these, Zhao Qingfeng's face became heavier. Things were more complicated and more difficult than he thought.
This is not good, that is not good, it is very troublesome.
He saw Zhang Yuan’s mysterious smile and suddenly asked, “Do you have any plans?”
"Yes, there must be... After all, research on this area has been many years. It is impossible for the Glitzer people to do so many experiments without gaining anything."
Zhang Yuan smiled, as if he was confident, "I have been thinking about me for thirty years!"
This huge cake is so tempting. Even if it is poisonous, it may poison humans to death, and humans have to bite the bullet and eat it.
Then, how to minimize toxicity is the most important consideration.
Zhang Yuan drew several lines on the screen: "First the first step is to use the Bozman quantum consciousness converter as the core, and then match it with our own biological computer processor, and according to the construction model of the No. 14 virtual world, we will build a huge virtual world community. I will call these core units Pangu Brain!"
"All Glitzers who are currently uploading are laying the foundation for building a world community."
The Bozman quantum consciousness converter donated by the Gaia civilization has very powerful computing power. It is not only a biological computer, but also a kind of mutant quantum computer, and can even carry the self-consciousness of billions of people in it!
The biological computers made by humans can also carry the self-awareness of thousands of people.
Therefore, the computer community built with the "Bozman Quantum Consciousness Converter" as the core will be that super instrument.
Of course, for future safety, scientists will conduct round-trip testing of this super instrument. Anyway, no problems have been found so far.
"Then we create a virtual world that suits human survival. Research in this area has made rapid progress and accumulated a lot of technology. We have developed a complete set of algorithms that automatically generate the world, which can be completed in one year."
"The next key is to use virtual world technology to cultivate citizens' ideology, and to cultivate this ideology from short-lived species to grow a long-term life species. What does it mean? In other words, we must find the goals that can be strived for for a long time and the meaning of life."
"But this is very difficult... the meaning of life?" Zhao Qingfeng frowned and said, "Most people will be addicted to World No. 14, right? It's like the Glitzer people."
Zhang Yuan smiled and did not reply to Lao Zhao's doubts. He raised two fingers, "Then the question is, in the real world, what kind of people are allowed to enter the virtual world and start the entire plan? Experiments in this area must be cautious."
"First, patients with brain lesions, due to various accidental conditions, some vegetatives cannot afford to suffer from brain damage, or some patients with difficult and complicated diseases such as ALS that are difficult to treat..."
Zhao Qingfeng nodded, and the call in this regard was very high among insiders.
Although the medical technology of new humans is many times better than before, in the face of various messy and difficult diseases, they are often at a loss...
Therefore, for all kinds of people who cannot be treated, they can simply read the memory and upload their consciousness. The lifestyle in the virtual world is better than being paralyzed in bed.
This system is what people expect most and is the easiest to accept.
Zhang Yuan continued: "These patients will not die directly, and will start their normal life in the virtual world of No. 13."
