Chapter 212 Difficulties Facing

Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said slowly: "The recent stage of Unreal Laboratory 1.0 has very good results and can continuously cultivate excellent engineers for human civilization. These engineers are often rich in innovative capabilities and adapt to various engineering needs. It is indeed an epoch-making technology."

"I heard that in major universities, students' average grades have also improved to a certain extent. No matter how much they improve, it is always meaningful."

"However, we still face many difficulties. For example, the proportion of super geniuses in the second generation is not as good as that in the first generation, that is, we are facing a problem of IQ return... The average IQ of the first generation can reach 120,130, and some can reach more than 200, but what about the next generation?"

"The next generation of people is only at 5 million now. How many super geniuses are there?"

The 45 million people of the first generation are carefully selected by 7 billion people, and the population base is equivalent to 7 billion.

But the second generation was born and raised. Over the years, there have been almost five million children with a base of 7 billion to five million, and there is no way to compare.

Parents with high IQ may not necessarily give birth to children with high IQ. Overall, the IQ will shift to the average level.

Good educational methods can improve IQ and lower limit, but cannot increase the upper limit. The upper limit of most people is a qualified space engineer. It is really powerless to let them be scientists, conduct scientific research, and understand the truth of nature.

A true super genius requires a huge population size to appear more easily.

What humans need now is super geniuses who can break through the upper limit of technology...more super geniuses.

Thinking of this, everyone was speechless with a frown.

Zhang Ran finally sighed: "There is no shortage of productivity for the time being, how should the population problem be solved? If our generation dies, the number of scientists will be very scarce. It would be great to maintain the existing technology, and we humans may no longer have room for improvement."

"The most important thing is that people nowadays don't have children at all."

Zhang Ran’s words were very real.

The more advanced the technology is, the more branches it is, the more super geniuses it needs.

For example, the maintenance and upgrading of a universal factory is the responsibility of the team led by Lin Qiuyue, which requires extremely huge amounts of knowledge and years of training.

There are more than 300 members in the group, all of whom are super geniuses with IQs of more than 160. If these 300 people age and die, or some kind of accident occurs, then the factory will not be able to renew it.

Later generations want to maintain the operation of a universal factory, but they can still settle, upgrade or update it in a careless way? Don’t even think about it!

Talent determines the intelligence limit!

This is true for universal factories, and so is the rest of all walks of life.

For example, in a branch of mathematics, Xin Geometry, only two or three mathematicians are working on it, it is a very unpopular subject.

As for mathematics, there are many times when it seems meaningless, but it is at the top of the academic contempt chain.

No matter how the laws of physics change in each universe, mathematics is still mathematics.

But if these researchers die, future generations can only read the literature from the database if they want to understand Xin Geometry. However, when no one can communicate, the difficulty of self-taught is undoubtedly more than one level higher.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Ran said again: "The current population is still too small. Unless the number of residents in Kunlun Mountain reaches 1 billion, and through excellent educational methods, the number of super geniuses can be the same as the first generation."

"But judging from the current birth rate, it is completely impossible. The current birth rate is only 1.2%, and it has been declining year by year, and the population has been regressing in the long run."

"Everyone should think about how to solve this problem. Now we are in the third stage of interstellar civilization, and we must improve to the fourth stage... If we don't consider it now, it will be too late in the future."

After a moment of silence in the small room, Zhou Chengfeng and other government officials had actually put forward a lot of ideas on this issue.

But it doesn't make much sense!

Several years ago, after the people's living standards were improved to a certain extent, many policies to stimulate childbirth have been issued, including nurseries, free infant diapers, free milk powder, robot centralized nursery rooms, etc., but the effect is still not very good.

In addition to the war bringing a small baby boom, fertility rates are almost reduced but not increased.

A demographer shook his head: "Because having children will not bring any benefits. In ancient times, the benefits brought by a child were greater than the consumption of raising, so the more you gave birth, the better."

“And now, having children will not bring any financial benefits.”

"In fact, after the fertility benefits issued by the government reach a certain level, they are of little significance. The fertility problem has existed since the Earth's period, and no country has ever solved it."

"To put it more essentially, the genetic philosophy systems followed by humans, such as the traditional family system, fertility concepts, and nurturing concepts, are increasingly mismatched with the interstellar industrial era with highly developed productivity."

"You're right." Zhang Ran sighed, "If it were me, I would have been born at most. In a highly prosperous era, it seems that the inheritance of the family line is not as important as before."

"If productivity is continued to be relaxed, people will live in the care of robots throughout their lives, from birth to death... People can be highly free to do the work they want to complete and pursue their beliefs. Some people only write a masterpiece for their entire lives, while others spend their entire lives promoting small progress in the universal factory, or make a game that lasts forever, or solve a world-class mathematical problem without worrying about food and clothing."

"This may be a true portrayal of the future communist society... Personal comprehensive freedom is sometimes not inconsistent with the progress of civilization."

"I really have reached that point, and even if I don't develop upward, I don't care."

Zhang Ran changed the subject: "But we are not yet at that time. How can we solve the problems we are facing now? I still want to reach the level of level 4 civilization in my lifetime."

"You also know that Level 4 civilization is a big threshold. According to the information given by the Green Star Civilization, Level 4 civilization has made great improvements in the combination of human-computer. Our current virtual world technology does not directly act on the nerves, but only stays at the original perception level such as eyes and ears."

"But the level 4 civilization has improved its leap in the biological level, that is, it has the technology related to the brain in the tank. This technology is extremely improving human-computer interaction, including intelligence, and is equivalent to a computer installed in everyone's brain."

"So there is a planetary computer that connects all the information. It is equivalent to a central intelligent brain."

"Also, the fourth-level civilization has discovered the theory related to blue matter. Blue matter should be a dark matter that can surpass the speed of light in the high-dimensional universe. As long as it can use blue matter, it can not only detect and communicate at a speed of light, but also at a speed of light. Everyone knows what this means?"

"We naturally know these things." Lin Qiuyue looked at him and said helplessly: "But you have to know that the past four-level civilization was based on a population of tens of billions, hundreds of billions, and long-term great wealth."

"Just like the population at the peak of Green Star civilization exceeded 100 billion, Green Star people are fundamentally stronger than us."

"Our innovation ability and wealth are incomparable to these civilizations. Moreover, we have just entered the third-level civilization and have not yet formed our own industrial system. It is impossible to reach the top in one step."

Zhang Ran was a bit awkward when she said it. But to be honest, the Green Star people are better than humans.

Some of the current social systems and directions of humanity are improved according to the Green Star human-made template.

The genetic memory of Green Star people leads to a very clear natural division of labor. They know what they should do as soon as they are born. This memory route will be constantly strengthened, allowing them to feel happy and satisfied. It is like fishermen always like fishing and love the fishing industry.

However, humans have no genetic memory and are confused when newborns are born, which leads to most people not having any interests or hobbies. The direction of human happiness may often be the direction of degeneration and the direction of contradiction with the progress of civilization.

"It's not entirely true. In fact, genetic memory sometimes hinders innovation. Therefore, the Green Star people are divided into two ways: complete genetic memory and incomplete genetic memory."

"Can we inherit memories? Can we crack their mysteries?"

"No, no, unless we can completely crack the mysteries of genes. Even the fourth-level civilization may not be able to do this. It may take a fifth-level civilization to modify the genes as we wish."

Everyone discussed it for about an hour, but they discussed something.

President Zhou Chengfeng of the Parliament said: "Let me summarize your views. The first is to develop science and technology to improve intelligence. This should be difficult. Perhaps only a level 4 civilization can do it. But we can work hard. After all, we have Sakurai, a cloned psychic. The D factor component in her blood not only makes people live long, but also keeps the brain young and active at all times."

"The new human project has made good progress over the years..."

"The second is to increase the lifespan of our population and allow our first generation to live longer. The greater our ability, the greater the responsibility. This is also related to the new human plan."

"The third is naturally to expand the population size. With more people, the number of geniuses will be even greater. This requires artificial uterine technology to make progress, and the current progress is pretty good."

Almost all the pressure is concentrated in the new human laboratory, biology, humans expect epoch-making biology!
