Chapter 378: A Changing World
Japan.
On the shores of a small, scenic lake, two RVs unfold into a makeshift camp, and a group of boys and girls are camping in the wild.
A year ago, these twelve or thirteen-year-olds would not have been allowed to camp in such a wild organization away from the city without adult supervision.
Japan's efforts to protect the natural environment are much better than those of the Red Flag, so in addition to the fact that there are many places where the scenery remains untouched, there is another problem - there are wild animals in the wild.
Of course, rabbits and foxes are not on the table, but wolves, bears and other fierce beasts are all fierce beasts that can pose a threat to humans.
However, in Japan these days, the beast is no longer a threat.
Each of these children has a variety of robots around them, not to mention large beasts such as wolves and bears, and even inconspicuous threats such as poisonous snakes and poisonous insects will be dispersed by these robots with different frequencies of sound waves - these robots themselves are not the property of these families, but the social welfare of each minor allocated by the Japanese government.
When the children reach the age of 16, the robots will be recycled by the government and redistributed to the younger ones.
These nanny robots have higher authority and more skills, which is a policy that the Japanese government and the Yagyu Foundation have to introduce in order to reverse the decline in the natural birth rate of the Japanese population.
In fact, every developed country suffers from slow population growth, but Japan is particularly acute.
In addition to the stressful life of young people and the inability of some young couples to raise and educate their children, more importantly, young people often do not have the time and patience to spend time with their children.
No one is born with a penis for pee, even if it's pulled out by their own children.
If it weren't for the sense of responsibility of being a parent, everyone would definitely not be happy to change their children's diapers three or five or five or six times a day.
Everyone likes to play with cute children, but it is a very hard work to start cultivating and educating a child from infancy, and then painstakingly educating children at different stages of growth, all kinds of education, guidance, and correction until the child's mental health and physical health grow up.
For a couple, raising a child is still a relatively easy difficulty to overcome (although it is not easy), and the various efforts put in are even greater efforts.
According to statistics, in the process of doing homework with children, the risk of various heart diseases, cerebral hemorrhage and high blood pressure and other symptoms increases by 200%.
In fact, even with the full support of the Japanese government and the Yanagi Foundation, Sakura* School has opened one after another in Japan, but the birth rate of newborns in Japan is still, well, not very high.
Japan's population has indeed rebounded in recent years, but more than half of this is due to the dramatic advances in medical technology, which has led to an increase in life expectancy.
Until half a year ago, the Yanagi Foundation suddenly announced a high-profile cooperation with the government, for children under the age of zero to 14, as long as they are willing to implant a bio-intelligent chip, they can receive a high-level guardianship intelligent robot for free as a social welfare.
The artificial intelligence robot of the Yanagi consortium has been on the market for many years.
In the low-end market, what sweepers, automatic suitcases, and front desk service robots have long been sold at the price of cabbage.
However, in the high-end market, the prices of medical robots for the elderly, intelligent housekeepers, and infant monitoring robots can remain high.
This kind of advanced monitoring intelligent robot has never been less than 100 million yen in the market. Of course, you get what you pay for, and this kind of robot can free parents from the hard life of taking care of their children.
It's not that this kind of robot can replace the love of parents, it's just that with this kind of robot, parents no longer need to worry about their children's health and nutrition problems.
(The robot comes with its own medical system and is networked with Sakura* clinic data, which can provide a variety of medical services, and feed back the child's physical data to the data center of Sakura* clinic at any time)
As for children going out to play or something, with these robots following, parents don't need to worry about their children's safety.
These guardianship robots are authorized by the Japanese government and have the highest level of authorization for child safety than intelligent robots.
In order to protect children, they can use electric shocks, narcotics and other means to control the aggressor, and in extreme cases, even have the right to directly kill the aggressor.
————————————
Since last year, when the construction of the world's first space elevator began, the whole world has entered a state of fantasy.
First of all, it was revealed that the reason why this space elevator was built so smoothly was because the Lord of Desire personally flew into the universe with a special cable and stayed in the universe for six months with himself as a traction anchor.
During this time, he personally built the initial base of the space station with various assemblies sent through cables, and only returned to the surface with the cheers of the believers until the base station was large enough to carry the staff for the next step of construction.
Of course, since the geostationary orbit corresponds to the Earth's equator, Citi found a small island on the Earth's equator and built a new Desire Ranch.
This Ranch of Desire will no longer accommodate ordinary civilians, but will be used as a ground base for space exploration, and it will not contain the corresponding scientific researchers, or construction personnel and technicians from various countries and specialties who are ready to go into space.
This also marks the first time that international scientific research cooperation has been launched.
Since then, the changes have been dizzying.
The Fortune 500 companies, which originally occupied semi-monopoly advantages in various fields, have encountered various challenges.
One patent after another was published free of charge from the Ranch of Desire, and one industry after another appeared to be shared for free - including but not limited to shared transportation, shared canteens, shared transportation and shared couriers, and shared housing.
Citi's various industries have gradually disappeared from the low level to the high level, and the industry unit has gradually disappeared.
Just like the situation when intelligent robots were introduced to the market, as long as the strength of Desire Ranch reaches the point where it provides this service for free, the related industry will completely disappear from the market.
And these unemployed people caused by the disappearance of the industry will naturally be absorbed by the Desire Ranch and become the force for the Desire Ranch to move forward.
The launch of the biochip ID card has pushed the real-name system to the extreme.
A person corresponds to an identity, and there is no technology that can falsify the identity except for the power of the state - the real-time database will detect duplicate ID numbers in time.
Citi opened a special zone to house those who are unwilling to accept the implantation of biochip ID cards, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are really not a few people at Citi who pursue absolute freedom, these people want to say that they have done something wrong, people just feel that after being implanted with biochips, they may not be able to protect their privacy.
For these people, Desire Ranch has taken placement measures, neither supporting nor opposing, however, more and more free services are supported by personal biochip ID cards, that is, without a biochip ID card implanted in the shoulder, you can't enjoy the vast majority of free treatment.
It's fine for those who have jobs, but it's fatal for the unemployed.
What's more, the vast majority of those who refuse to implant biochips are members of the Desire Sect who oppose the Biochip Sect – the biochip was originally proposed by the Desire Sect, and any believer in the Lord of Desire will not oppose the project.
With the co-optation of the Cult of Desire and the co-optation of the Holy Bishops, and their influence in Citi and the European Union, these opponents of the Cult of Desire gradually became non-mainstream members of society, either isolated or forced to change sides.
The knock-on effect is that Citi's entire financial system is gradually being replaced by the Ranch of Desire's contribution mechanism, which only represents an individual's contribution to human civilization and cannot be transferred or legacy.
Although many wealthy people fled Citigroup, in the face of the sect of desire that gradually showed its fangs and formed an irreversible trend, these people, as well as some freedom fighters, fled abroad with money and entered the Citi resettlement zone with no money.
(The Special Resettlement Zone is a state set aside by Citi near Metro Canada for people who refuse to have biochips implanted.) It has a relatively independent legal system, which follows the original Red Flag system of the law of the sea, and of course, the law enforcement and administrative system are still under the control of the Desire sect)
Now, walking on the streets of any Citi city is like walking in a futuristic sci-fi city, and there are almost more autonomous robots (not humanoids, but various small cars with manipulators) on the streets than people.
When you are thirsty, the portable smart center (mobile phone evolution) will send a signal to invite the robot to deliver a drink that matches the taste;
When you are hungry, there will naturally be robots that transform and unfold in the roadside clearing, turning into a table and chair. Of course, if you are a group of friends, these robots can also be spliced together to form an environment where multiple people can dine, and if you need shelter, there are even robots that can pull out the curtain to form a large tent.
Even if someone needs to go to the toilet, there will be a special robot that transforms into a toilet for everyone to solve the problem. Of course, this is only a temporary emergency measure, and under normal circumstances, people are still willing to go to regular public toilets to solve the problem.
Traffic lights have been completely abolished, the profession of driver is only available on the race track, and in cities, humans are simply allowed to drive vehicles.
In fact, since the ultra-long-distance wireless power supply technology covering the entire earth has been put into use, electric energy is no longer the shortcoming of various robots, but has become their advantage - unlimited battery life, as long as it is not broken, it can continue to work.
Speaking of this ultra-long-distance wireless power supply technology covering the earth, it is not a breakthrough technological progress.
It can even be said that this is an empirical proof that capital hinders technological progress.
This technology was first proposed nearly 100 years ago by the legendary engineer Tesla.
It sounds fantastical, but it's not complicated, it's just a wireless transmission through a 'high-power high-frequency transmission line resonance transformer'.
The principle is simply to use the earth as the inner conductor and the earth's ionosphere as the outer conductor, through the transmitter, using the unique radial electromagnetic wave oscillation mode, to establish a low-frequency resonance of about 8 hertz between the earth and the ionosphere, and use the surface electromagnetic waves around the earth to transmit energy.
At that time, due to technical limitations, Tesla only theoretically verified the feasibility of this transmission method, but could not put it into practical application.
However, this technology was already mature 20 years ago.
Even in the world, more than one company has developed this technology, but everyone tacitly submerged this technology in the filing cabinet, and did not let it show its head at all.
The reason is simple, this method of power supply with global coverage is not profitable.
The power generation side cannot collect the money!
People only need a receiving device, you can use electricity for free, if the receiving power required by this receiving device is not large, it can even be smaller than a watch, and there is no way to check it at all.
Even if the two countries are in a state of hostility, the electricity generated by country A can still be used by country B for free. No country would do such a thing.
Transmission companies can't make any money, and the various power grid facilities that have worked so hard to build can basically be recycled as waste.
So everyone tacitly assumes that this kind of technology doesn't exist.
Of course, by the way, everyone put this legendary engineer Tesla, who is so brainless and comes up with such an idiotic plan, for a long time, until he dies, this person has always been a poor ghost.
When he died, everyone happily divided the inheritance, such as alternating current, multiphase power distribution system, radio, wireless power transmission (point-to-point transmission, not the kind that covers the world), flying furnaces, world systems, hydropower stations, and so on.
Anyway, everyone was very happy to eat, only Tesla himself, and did not get the slightest benefit from his own achievements.
This is the treatment of most scientific researchers in reality -- you are disobedient? No matter how big the contribution is, the benefits are not your share, you are just a working slave, only obedient scientific research talents can have a bone to gnaw on, as for eating meat, that is completely too much to think about.
On the other hand, the lie tacitly observed by countries around the world is that oil is the remains of ancient organisms, accumulated in lakes, seas, or land, and transformed by complex biological and chemical processes under the action of high temperature and high pressure.
In fact, the academic community has long known that this theory is deceptive.
As early as decades ago, it was proposed that even if all the organisms that have appeared on the earth were formed into oil, they would have been used up by everyone long ago - life matter is a drop in the bucket of all materials on the earth, and even if all of them are converted into oil, it will not be enough for everyone.
It's just that the theory of bio-oil can support the high price of oil, so all scholars who oppose the conversion of bio-oil are either gagged by money or guns.
It would be a very pleasant thing for the tycoons of the oil chain to die a few academics who were getting in the way of their money.
In the past 40 years, the power brought by the oil tycoons from energy control has caused unease among other forces, and everyone has begun to work hard to develop new energy sources and counterattack the oil industry.
Knowledge is never power, only knowledge that can be transformed into power, or has been transformed into power, will be respected!
Academia is also, academia without the support of power is just a toy and tool in the palm of capital.
This phenomenon flourished until Ranch of Desire overturned the table.
The "Patent Barrier Invalidation Act" and "Civilization Contribution Calculation Method Second Edition" were officially announced at Citi!
