District 52. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Beautiful environment and fresh air.

The streets are clean and tidy and the people are polite.

In a high-end living room in Yaoxing City, in the VIP room on the tenth floor, through the spotless floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Lan Mengxin, who was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looked at the busy and tourist-like streets below, his eyes were a little dull, and he was speechless, as if he had not come out of the shock two days ago.

After a long time, the coffee in the cup was cold, and then she withdrew her gaze, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and muttered to herself: "This is really an upside-down world." ”

In her mind, she remembered the three ultimate questions that the man asked her yesterday, how to avoid and solve them.

The three ultimate issues are "resource consumption", "clash of civilizations" and "human morality".

If these three major problems cannot be properly and perfectly solved, even if this money empire is overthrown and that set of rules is changed, the new world will carry deadly hidden dangers and will be difficult to maintain for a long time.

First of all, let's talk about "resource consumption", this planet, which has experienced nearly a thousand years of industrial civilization development, really lacks resources?

Lacking, but not lacking.

The reason for the lack is that the coal, oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper, iron, titanium, rare earth, non-metallic and other mineral resources under the planet have basically been exhausted, and the high-value minerals in the earth's crust, as long as they can be mined, have been exploited and utilized.

Therefore, this devastated planet, and then through primitive mining methods, through blasting, drilling, extraction, etc., destructively mining all kinds of resources, the damage caused to this planet, sooner or later, will be fed back to human beings themselves.

Such as subsidence, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes...... These increasingly frequent disasters will make human beings living on the surface of the earth experience the consequences of the planet's anger.

Therefore, only in terms of all kinds of non-renewable mineral resources, this planet is scarce in resources, and the cost of mining is large, the rate of return is low, and the negative consequences are serious.

But on the other hand, in terms of renewable resources, the potential of the planet is still great.

For example, if we step up efforts to improve the environment, increase the area of arable land and crop production, and feed 120 billion people, the pressure will not be great.

There is also energy, such as the electricity in Zone 52, in fact, a considerable part of it is transmitted from the canopy system - the canopy system can generate electricity, and its ability to absorb sunlight can be controlled in the range of 0.01% to 99.99%.

In other words, as long as the canopy system is used rationally, as well as the inexhaustible energy in nature, the energy problem is not a problem at all.

There are also organic materials, nanomaterials, superconducting materials, inorganic materials with good physical and chemical properties, etc., which can replace metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, titanium, aluminum, tungsten, etc., which can also be synthesized and produced in factories, almost completely replacing metals to meet the needs of most of the industry and agriculture...... Therefore, material technology is also another field of money empire, second only to medical technology in terms of development speed.

There is no shortage of food, energy, and materials, and to some extent, there is no shortage of resources on this planet.

The problem of insufficient resources can be solved through advanced science and technology, but the "clash of civilizations" and "human morality", which are embedded in human beings themselves, which can promote human exchanges and progress and move towards a better future on the one hand, and can also allow human beings to self-destroy and go to the abyss on the other hand, are two ultimate problems that may never be solved in a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even forever.

Because as long as there are differences, there will be conflicts.

Different beliefs, different customs, different personalities and hobbies, different skin colors and races, and different thinking concepts...... These thousands of differences represent thousands of conflicts.

The clash of civilizations, the highest level of conflict, will allow hatred to accumulate, wars to erupt, and blood to flow over and over again.

Even if people respect each other and can not offend each other, sooner or later, these conflicts will ignite, detonate, and tear off scars under the impetus of careerists and conspirators...... Even the law cannot stop the arrogance, discrimination, and inexplicable superiority in the bones of some people -- these are the sources of conflict.

There is also "human morality", what kind of moral norms are needed in this world, so that people can get rid of the shackles of "the jungle of the jungle", and at the same time, they will not go to the other extreme of "moral kidnapping and the Virgin Mary everywhere".

This criterion is difficult to grasp.

If the above three problems cannot be solved well, just like the historical cycle law of rise and fall and chaos, the civilization of this planet will also fall into a "civilization cycle law" that alternates between destruction and rebirth.

"I think it's better to use science and technology and law to solve these problems, use science to develop productive forces, use law to restrain the behavior of individuals and groups, and establish a strictly regulated and orderly society, if the population is swollen and resources are insufficient, go out of this planet, develop the resources of other planets in outer space, and carry out interstellar colonization, the resources of this universe are unlimited, and the development space is also unlimited. ”

After thinking about it, combined with her understanding of all aspects of this world, Lan Mengxin put forward her solution.

That is, the "road of scientific and technological civilization".

"This route, the direction is correct, it can be taken, but ......"

Realizing a problem, Zhou Ming frowned and said: "But if this road can be passed, why doesn't the ruler take it, but instead embark on another path to save resources? This is really unreasonable, if I were the master, before the path of light and the path of darkness, I would definitely take the road of infinite light." ”

"Moreover, the Juggernaut often makes people say on the radio that there are insufficient resources, what exactly is the lack of resources, but it is not explicitly stated, so I guess that the resources that the Juggernaut refers to should refer to the resources for extraterrestrial colonization, which are lacking, making it impossible for humans to get out of this planet on a large scale. ”

"Otherwise, how could he have built a world of money with such a severe class of solidification, so many restrictions, and extremely uneven development in all fields, and the suppression of all human beings on this planet?

"Of course, we can also assume that the Juggernaut is a vile, evil, extremely selfish person who wants to make the whole planet serve him personally for his own selfish desires, but how to explain his efforts to improve the environment of this planet by establishing Area 0, collecting garbage, and carrying out renovation projects every hundred years? If he is a selfish person, he doesn't need to think about so many problems, he can do whatever he wants with the resources he collects. ”

"So I think that if the path of interstellar colonization can be followed, the ruler who led the remnants of humanity out of the apocalypse and re-established a new home should not give up the opportunity to become a 'noble saint'. ”

Zhou Ming analyzes it eloquently.

This......

These words made Lan Mengxin's thoughts shake violently.

If the man's speculation is more likely to be true, the road of "scientific and technological civilization" is indeed unlikely to go through, and the human beings who are ultimately limited to one planet, once the population exceeds 10 billion or 20 billion, the massive resource consumption and the amount of garbage created will definitely exceed the carrying capacity of the planet and reach that upper limit.

So what to do?

"I'm annoyed!"

The woman grabbed her hair, glared at the man in front of her, and said, "Then what do you say to do?"

Taking a sip of coffee, Zhou Ming smiled slightly and said, "I have a few plans here, you can refer to them." ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly. The woman urged urgently.

"The first solution, which I call the 'virtual game' solution, is to develop a virtual online game that allows people to have more happiness and satisfaction in the virtual world. Facts have shown that spiritual food is more important than material food, and if the supply of spiritual food is increased, the material demand will be reduced a lot, and even lead to a decline in desire, a decline in the birth rate, and a great reduction in material energy consumption. ”

"But the side effects of this scheme are also very obvious, once the virtual game is launched, people's enthusiasm to learn knowledge, master skills, and work seriously will be greatly reduced, the speed of technological progress will be slowed down, and people may give all their work to robots, and they, addicted to the virtual world every day, will eventually be no different from rice worms. ”

"The second option, which I call the 'ladder of civilization' scheme. ”

"This plan is to transform each area into different civilizations on the basis of the canopy system, divided into primitive civilizations, ancient civilizations, ancient civilizations, ancient civilizations, ancient civilizations, modern civilizations, etc., divided into different civilization levels, and then give more sufficient resources and development environment, without interference, let these civilizations develop freely, it is best to start from primitive civilizations, and see what kind of results they will produce. ”

"The third option, which I call the "Modified Money Empire" option. ”

In this plan, the money promotion mechanism will be retained, but the promotion rules will be changed, from the original promotion of killing competitions to the promotion of those with outstanding contributions, which can be a reward for environmentalists who have completed more ecological environment transformation tasks, a scientific reward for major scientific discoveries or inventions, or a widely welcomed and recognized artistic achievement award in the field of arts and humanities...... are all possible to be promoted. ”

"The brutal elimination rules can be removed and replaced with more crackdowns on criminals, sending those criminals to areas with poor conditions to help with environmental modification, or sending them to District 0 to help dispose of garbage. ”

In this way, people will be motivated to rise without worrying about being eliminated, and as long as they obey the law, they can live happily even if they have no money. ”

"Even, it can also bring about the return of morality and humanity, the prosperity of art and science, and the consumption of resources will definitely increase, but because of the replenishment of spiritual food, material, there will not be too serious waste, it is really not possible, and virtual games can also be made. ”

With the ability of "Source Zero 3.0" artificial intelligence in Zhou Ming's hands, coupled with the existing scientific and technological foundation in this world, it is not a problem to develop a virtual game.

"The third plan is good! The third plan is good!"

Lan Mengxin's eyes lit up, her smile bloomed, and she clapped her hands and shouted, "I choose the third, I choose the third!"

Zhou Ming looked up at her and said with a smile: "I knew you would choose this plan, but you don't have to be too anxious, this planet does not have the conditions to go out of the planet and move towards the Age of Interstellar Discovery, I still have to ask the answer to this question from the master, and when I know the answer, I will formulate a corresponding plan according to the answer to transform this world." ”

"If you believe me, you may not be able to wait long for this answer. ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming smiled slightly.

"Hmm!"

Lan Meng's eyes were full of anticipation, and he nodded emphatically and said, "I believe in you!"
