The driverless electric car is running on the road, and Zhang Yuanping recovers his inner emotions.

It has reached the 23rd century, an era that attaches great importance to IQ, but the attribute of "appearance" is still important in interpersonal communication. People who are good-looking have certain advantages in their own development, regardless of gender.

Zhang Yuan feels... he looks pretty good. He shouldn't be narcissistic, because his relatives and friends say so, and his love luck from childhood to adulthood also indirectly proves this.

As for the lack of girls around him, it is because he has been determined to be an astronaut since he was a child, so he consciously suppresses this need.

"There are so many girls chasing me..."

There is less than a month's vacation. In such a short time, at most it is just a mutual attraction between hormones, and it is impossible to generate spiritual communication.

Of course, it is not difficult to find a girl to complete physiological communication. If you agree in advance, just have fun, there will still be a lot of "modern women" willing to have some stories with "astronauts", which may become the capital to brag with your companions in the future...

In this open era, few people care whether their future marriage partner is a virgin.

However, Zhang Yuan does not like to make random appointments.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

He clicked on his phone and it was a spam message.

Since I was never too lazy to sort it out, there were a lot of unread red dots on it.

[Your 4 mobile phone contacts set you as "secret lover" on [About]. Since you have not registered yet, you can use a special text message to notify...Download address...]

Soft advertising is so annoying, but it still cannot get rid of these things in the 23rd century.

"Forget it."

He is not a veteran in love. Since he can't be too ruthless, there is no need to add emotional burden to himself before leaving.

After skipping this memo, Zhang Yuan felt much more comfortable.

The car was driving on the road in a hurry and slowly. The cars on the road were very orderly, almost all of them advanced at the same speed, without any barbaric behaviors such as jumping in line or squatting.

When it comes to driving cars, artificial intelligence is much more reliable than humans, and manual driving in non-emergency situations has become an illegal action.

Zhang Yuan is not a rich second generation, and this unmanned car is not his own. It is just a shared taxi on the side of the road. Anyway, it is available on call, no different from his own car.

A space history documentary is playing on the film and television screen in the car.

“…We have walked along the way, exploring and developing, and development will always be the main theme of the times…”

He watched the documentary with interest.

It has to be said that the development of modern technology is far slower than what humans imagined in the old era.

In 1969, when Americans first landed on the moon, many scientists were optimistic that humans could colonize the moon in 2000; by 2020, humans would occupy the solar system and become a true interstellar civilization.

Humans will find the legendary aliens, collide with alien civilizations, and artificial intelligence will develop self-consciousness to resist humans...

As a result, it's a pity.

There is nothing in the entire 21st century.

There is no brain chip, no singularity era brought by strong artificial intelligence, and no immortal technology.

The cost of virtual imaging technology is still high; AR glasses that try to replace mobile phones have been popular for a while, but have been eliminated due to inconvenience; battery capacity can never meet the needs; room temperature superconducting materials have been slow to invent...

Not to mention the things in science fiction novels such as curvature engines, wormholes, time travel, and anti-gravity.

In a comfortable life, human beings seem to have developed to the upper limit of the entire civilization. The progress of informatics has given people an illusion that science is still flourishing, numbing human nerves.

Unfortunately, some crucial technologies have not yet been made.

Finally, at the end of the 21st century, the consumption of oil was exhausted and a terrible energy crisis was created worldwide.

The two world wars that happened one after another made human society regress for a hundred years!

The entire 22nd century was dark and later called the "Grey Age" by people!

The bass in the documentary said in a magnetic voice: "Fortunately, everything has been through, we explore the unknown and found a new direction..."

"Controllable nuclear fusion!"

"……The successful ignition of the artificial sun, with the vigorous development of space industry, space botany and nanomaterials science, human civilization has once again ushered in a golden stage!"

"In the second half of the 23rd century, we will usher in an unprecedented era of interstellar colonization!"

The documentary is very ignited and has a little exaggerated element. It is indeed enough to fool some ordinary people.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled again.

Nuclear fusion does bring endless energy and changes the living conditions of mankind, but it does not mean that all mankind can achieve a hugely prosperous life through this.

Because oil is not only an energy source, but also an important industrial raw material.

Let me give you a few simple examples: Without fertilizers and pesticides, human grain output will be reduced by half directly.

Where do fertilizers and pesticides come from? Of course they are petroleum derivatives.

Without acrylic, polyester, nylon, and viron, the price of clothes has risen sharply, and most people cannot afford clothes and have to live naked.

Where do these chemical fiber products come from? The answer is petroleum derivatives.

Without petroleum derivatives such as petroleum solvents, chemical raw materials, lubricants, etc., more than 90% of industrial plants will be shut down directly.

"Oil is the lifeblood of industry", there is nothing false about this sentence.

Although nuclear fusion energy is inexhaustible and used, it still has mining costs, electricity transportation costs and power station maintenance costs. If you want to use industrial means to force the inorganic substances into organic matter through electricity, the cost is still too high, which is far more expensive than mining oil in the old era.

Until now, many people in small and poor countries still have no food because of the lack of oil substitutes.

Fortunately, the booming development of space botany is slowly curing human "oil dependence".

Many industrial raw materials, such as polymer fiber, ethylene, benzene, methane, etc., can find alternatives from space mutant plants, which can be planted on a large scale on the ground.

Just like the president of a small country shouted: "Praise the botany of space has finally helped us get rid of the existential crisis! Praise!"

...

One hour later, unmanned cars passed through the agricultural areas, industrial areas and entered the urban areas in turn.

"Dignified guest, you have arrived at your designated destination. This service time is 1 hour and 02 minutes, and the payment is 43 yuan..."

The soft electronic prompt sounded, Zhang Yuan paid to get off the car and returned to his home.

"It's still comfortable at home."

He first took a cold shower, then turned on the computer, logged into the notary office website, and enthusiastically clicked the "Property Donation" button on the webpage.

After thinking about it carefully, I took a photo of my own property certificate.

A line of information popped up on the web page: "No. 2236-9, Beiping Street, Donghua City, with a room area of ​​163.3 square meters, an estimated value of 2.865 million federal coins."

Donate the house to social welfare institutions!

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, feeling a little reluctant, feeling that he had become a legendary tycoon, the kind of person who was free to give him a pretentious gift...

"Donate it, donate it, brother is so noble!"

In fact, it is not because of his good ideology and morality.

Zhang Yuan has no children and no children. Since he is determined to leave the earth, can the property on the earth be brought to the spaceship?
