Chapter 457: Pursuit of Eternal Progress

After hearing Zhang Yuan's wonderful thoughts, John shouted excitedly, "Can Quark? You think it's beautiful! But this kind of science fiction that can be realized is indeed very beautiful..."

Everyone in the cafe nearby looked over curiously, so that John quickly held back his excitement and his voice gradually became smaller.

They talked enthusiastically about the humanities, technological changes, difficulties encountered in the new civilization, and recalled the past.

John was a pessimist scientist in the past, but now he benefits from new technologies and is completely addicted to massive knowledge and cannot extricate himself. He is full of expectations for the future.

There are indeed many technologies that can be realized as expected, including highly complex things such as nanorobots and artificial cells. They have been stuck for a long time in the past, but now they can continue to move forward. In the future trading market, humans should also be able to gain a lot of new knowledge and be able to peacefully access to more powerful civilizations.

John shifted the topic from the technical level to other directions. He recalled his experience in the virtual world, told a few short stories, and couldn't help but sigh: "The reason why we feel it is beautiful is that the whole society is still moving forward, with all kinds of novel things to explore and have some expectations for the future."

"If we do not make progress, humans will always fall into the vicious circle of internal games, and no matter what, they will become unbeautiful."

"Yes," Zhang Yuan expressed his deep feelings, "In a world that is unchanging, there will always be so many loopholes to exploit... I have been wondering whether what we are pursuing is constantly changing?"

"Just like the heat silence of the universe, once it is in a state of heat silence, all atoms are evenly distributed, and nothing may be left.

"What we are pursuing is to avoid this state of eternal stagnation...eternal change?"

John was silent for a while, "You are right, and I hate that kind of long-term unchanging. A dead civilization will naturally be over, but the living civilization will remain unchanged. It is really unbearable. Sometimes, living is worse than dying."

Everyone has their own different experiences in the virtual world.

But it is difficult for people who do not have the ability to think about themselves to return to the real world.

John is undoubtedly the best among them.

"So, as described in the history of new civilizations, our first goal is to pursue eternal progress, the second goal is to survive, and eternal progress is always the first goal!"

"Whoever hinders this progress is our enemy."

This should be the common philosophy of all extraordinary people.

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, there is always a little generation gap between many things and them."

"I didn't look for it in particular. I've probably seen seven or eight. The entire return work of the extraordinary has not officially started. We are the first batch of people to return, and we are the experimental personnel. The number will not exceed 100. Don't expect too many."

John shook his head: "And, it's been so long. I don't know if they have returned to this world, nor do they know if they are the people they knew. Alas, it's probably just to find disappointment for themselves. Or maybe they will return after the restrictions are lifted, or maybe not."

"I saw you today, so I couldn't help but come over to greet you. I felt very happy... There is no need to find psychological burden for myself."

Zhang Yuan sighed softly.

Yes, it has been so many years, and after so many reincarnations, every time I die, I will witness the departure of my relatives and friends.

If you experience it more and more time, you will gradually see this.

What is the most important thing for a person to live in this world?

It's yourself!

No one can accompany you to the end except yourself.

Every reincarnation has new relatives and friends and new life. If you indulge in missing old friends and indulge in the past, then your 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, toast to our new life!"

"cheers!"

With a bang, the two of them gently touched the cups. Zhang Yuan took a sip and joked, "The air is full of philosophy."

"Haha, we are all philosophers, but if a society is all philosophers, it will be impossible to do anything!" John said: "Society needs more practical people!"

"A practical man!"

After the party, Zhang Yuan returned home with a hint of indulgence.

Having turned on the computer habitually, he found that the mailbox was filled with scientific research documents. The colleagues in the group were already discussing the next improvement plan with great enthusiasm. There were also some letters asked by scientific researchers from other research institutes. Zhang Yuan calmed down and replied patiently.

It was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that I replied to all the documents and read the book for a while.

In recent times, he has inexplicably fallen in love with a novel 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 dispersed forces through an effective way. 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 changes in a society are too complicated.

There is a sentence in it: "You hate those people so much and fight with them for so long, but in the end you become like them. There is no ideal in the world that deserves such destruction as the price."

Everyone who has the ability to be complicated but chooses simple is well aware of the weight of this sentence.

This is also his normal day...

In this way, time passed year after year, time was slowly approaching the interstellar trading market, and the speed of the entire fleet began to gradually slow down.

Due to his outstanding grades, Zhang Yuan joined the interstellar diplomats as he wished. However, his usual job was still the same, and there was not much change. Except for occasionally joining the personal quality training of diplomats...

Through news reports, we can know that the entire fleet has received communication information from the outer spacecraft of the Huantai Civilization.

Simple contact with each other has begun.

It is expected 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 is a transaction between civilization and civilization. It is impossible to be like buying vegetables in the vegetable market. All the staff will be dispatched, and the vast majority of the population will be in the mothership. Just send some elite representatives.

"There are three years left..." Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, looking forward to the arrival of that day.

A great journey finally came to an end, but I don’t know what humans can gain in the end...

Occasionally, one day, I met an old friend from the past, looked at each other and drank and talked about it, which was a small surprise in life.

As John said, Zhang Yuan returned to the real world earlier. He only experienced the cycle of reincarnation in five virtual worlds and was kicked out by the artificial intelligence "Sita".

The 5 reincarnations are the minimum standard line. If someone exceeds one reincarnation than him, it may be separated from the real world for fifty or sixty or even one hundred years.
