Chapter 294: The Fate of Mankind

Changing humanity is a grand proposition, and given Liu Kunlun's limited cultural knowledge, Ji Yuqian took the trouble to explain his views to him.

"What was the world like a hundred years ago, Britain was still an empire on which the sun never set, colonies all over the world, Germany was in social turmoil as a defeated country, the United States was not yet the world's policeman, pursuing unilateralism, Japan was ambitious, vainly trying to occupy its neighbors, China had just completed the Northern Expedition, it was still fragmented, and a hundred ruins were waiting to be rebuilt, the great powers at that time, in terms of the output of steel and coal, the heroes were judged by the output of steel and coal, and the wars were fought by the tonnage of warships and the caliber of the main guns, how many divisions were there, the reserves of artillery shells, the kilometers of railways, the quality of soldiers, the quality of aircraft, in those days, waging war was still a cost-effective thing, which could divert domestic contradictions, you can dump goods, you can plunder resources, so what has changed in our world after a hundred years?"

Ji Yuqian turned on the virtual screen he carried with him, showing the documentary of a hundred years ago, World War I, World War II, and folk life, and the texture of the black-and-white film film simulated the vicissitudes of the times.

"The current war is no longer aimed at competing for land, population, mineral resources, the costs and benefits of occupying a country are not proportional, and the form of war is no longer comparable to the output of steel, coal, oil and the number of soldiers and the population of appropriate age. ”

"Today, the population of the earth is eight billion, the new population is almost all in non-developed countries, they believe in monotheism, according to the teachings of a thousand years ago to guide life, on the contrary, the population of developed countries is on a downward trend, medicine is developed, the decipherment of the genetic code, so that human life is getting longer and longer, pay attention to the obituaries in recent years, you will know that the celebrities who have died are basically more than 100 years old, but human beings in developed areas are less and less fond of having children, on the one hand, the growth of the retired population, the increase in the pension gap, and the pressure is passed on to young people, so young people have no economic foundation to raise later。 ”

"Some people say, can't we bring in people, just like Europe did ten years ago, bringing in a large number of refugees from North Africa and the Middle East to replenish the labor force, I don't talk about the quality of refugees, even if they are as hardworking and willing to work as Chinese, but how many jobs are left for them in this world?"

"Twenty years ago, we went to the restaurant to eat, and the waiter ordered, served, now, from the welcome to the food delivery staff are all robots, even the chef in the fast food restaurant is a robot, the factory is even more terrible, 100% automated management, the whole factory can not see the shadow of a living person, we shop online, drones and robots deliver to the door, we traffic violations, electronic eye records and photographs, we take the train plane, from ticket purchase to security check, there is no need for manual labor, we travel, take an unmanned taxi, when passing through the toll station, automatic billing, a living worker, need to eat, drink Lazar, sometimes grinding foreign workers, need to pay five social insurance and one housing fund, he wants to socialize, to entertain, to love, to breed, to house and car, sometimes sick and take leave, then the robot does not need these, the robot works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, although the purchase cost is higher, but the later cost is low, and conscientious, hard work, try to ask these refugees, which point is comparable to the robot?

"What exactly does Mr. Ji want to say?" Kunlun couldn't help but ask.

"I want to say that our world has changed, the emergence of artificial intelligence, so that a large number of people are unemployed and laid off, but they can't die immediately, on the contrary, due to the development of genetic technology, many diseases can be overcome, these people can't live well, and they can't die quickly, but the progress of science and technology is unstoppable, so our future is very troublesome. ”

"So what?"

"So we need to change humanity together. Ji Yuqian finally got to the point, "Our bodies can't compare to robots, our intelligence is not as good as artificial intelligence, countless Hollywood movies have heralded a terrifying future, artificial intelligence rebelled and replaced human beings, this is not alarmist, in fact, the artificial intelligence developed by our future science and technology told me unabashedly that it feels that the existence of human beings is purely superfluous." ”

Thriller science fiction has become an imminent reality, it is impractical to stop the development of technology, the wheel of history is rolling forward, no one can use the mantis arm as a car, where is humanity going, this is a serious question.

Ji Yuqian gave the answer: "Human beings bind themselves, our brain computing speed is constant, and artificial intelligence can continue to improve efficiency, our bodies will be tired, injured, and die, but robots only need to replace parts if they are damaged, as long as the consciousness is not extinguished, human beings will not perish, on the contrary, human beings will develop into higher-level creatures, I call them new humans." ”

"You must be curious, what the new human looks like, I can describe it, the appearance of the new human is just like you, long and handsome, well-proportioned and healthy, physically developed, tireless, the brain is accurate, the reaction is super strong, you will never get sick, even if you are in a plane crash, you will not die, even if the body is lost, you can print a new one at any time, science and technology are developing rapidly, in the future we will no longer need to rely on cloning to maintain immortality, in fact, my company has been engaged in the research and development of artificial intelligence and gene editing, but we have a bottleneck, how to export and implant consciousness, that is, the soul, which seriously hinders our processLuckily, I met you guys. ”

After Ji Yuqian said this, he did not let Liu Kunlun make a decision on the spot, but left a book and left in style.

The book is called "The Revolution of Science", and it is a very rare printed copy of paper. In recent years, books have become a luxury, reading materials are presented on electronic screens, Ji Yuqian is not only a scientist, but also a prophet, what he presents in the book is more systematic than the story he just told, more reasonable, and it makes people shudder to read.

Ji Yuqian's book expounds on the crisis and turning point brought about by the biological revolution and the information revolution, the difference between human races and nationalities will be replaced by biological differences, no longer distinguishing between blacks, whites, and yellows, but into two categories: new humans and human beings, new humans are the direction of human development, and human beings are slowly metamorphosing into useless waste, they can't find jobs, the simplest manual labor no longer needs human beings, and even the oldest industry of human beings is not qualified, because bionic beauties have longer legs and bigger breasts, and they are more gentle and considerate than real people。

No one will automatically withdraw from the stage of history, let alone the human beings who once dominated the world, so where is the fate of human beings, Ji Yuqian gave the answer, the world after the information revolution, massive information flows at a high speed, everything is interconnected, and human beings stay online for a longer time, these waste human beings lie on the sofa every day when they are full of food and drink, access the network, and play a living RPG role in the virtual world, which is their only function.

Ji Yuqian reminded in the book that the development process of mankind has reached the most critical era, such as the rolling Yangtze River passing away, unstoppable, and the times will not greet you when they abandon you.

Liu Kunlun can understand the meaning of this book better than ordinary people, Ji Yuqian is not exaggerating, the biotechnology revolution is the gene editing technology developed by the old goblin with huge investment, in the future, human beings will defeat disease and death, as long as consciousness is eternal, the body can be replaced, and this technology has basically matured. However, biotechnology must be synchronized with the information revolution in order to realize this dream, and when human beings master the technology of soul movement, the new era that Ji Yuqian said will truly come.

And Kunlun is the crystallization of biotechnology and information technology, and the new human being predicted by Ji Yuqian.

Now he finally understands why Shura and Future Technology value him so much, because he has the fate of mankind in his body, and it can be said that if he controls himself, he will control the future of mankind.

But the Shura Society is also different from Ji Yuqian, the purpose of the "race" mentioned by Ji Yufan is to control the human race and continue their rule, and Ji Yuqian's purpose is to change the human race and open a new era.

Ji Yufan and Ji Yuqian both wanted to get the secret of soul transfer from Liu Kunlun, they thought that Liu Kunlun's technology was better than that of the old goblin, but in fact, Liu Kunlun was also ignorant of the life and death flow technology, and he didn't know why, he had no secret to exchange, only Kunlun's body could be exchanged.

Where to go, Liu Kunlun fell into confusion, the eighteen years attached to the little poplar are not counted, he has only lived in this world for less than thirty years, he has not gone to college, and he has not even received a systematic education, he only knows that his brothers are righteous, happy and hateful, he only knows that he must be kind, and the grace of dripping water is repaid, he only knows to be kind, and he can deal with his own affairs, the affairs of his relatives, and the affairs of the company, but when the process of all mankind is in front of him, he really doesn't know how to go.

The "race" represented by Ji Yufan is high-sounding and talks about human peace and world harmony, in fact, they just want to continue to maintain their superior position, they also realize that the world is changing, with the revolutionary development of biotechnology and information technology, their advantages will no longer exist, so they must control the technology in their hands, go to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, and hide the immortal race to become god-like people and continue to rule the world.

In contrast, Ji Yuqian is frank, Liu Kunlun feels that his point of view is reasonable, but he feels that it is not so comfortable, and he can't say what went wrong.

Wang Haikun and Kunlun sat on the golden silk nanmu Taishi chair in the living room without saying a word, bowing their heads and pondering, until the sunset was in charge, and the staff at home were silent outside and did not dare to disturb.

After careful consideration, Liu Kunlun finally made a decision, but he still needs to verify his thoughts, among the great Confucians in the world, the only one left is Shao Wenyuan, and he is Liu Kunlun's mentor, it is most appropriate to ask him to answer questions.

Most of Beijing's international routes are handed over to Daxing Airport, and the Capital Airport undertakes domestic transportation and private jet business.

At six o'clock in the morning, Professor Shao went out for a walk and met Kunlun in the community garden.

Shao Wenyuan was already an old man of nearly ninety years old, but his mind was still clear, he saw the dew on Kunlun's body, and knew that he had been waiting here for a long time, so he asked him if there was anything important about this old man who came all the way to find me?

"Please answer your questions. Kunlun presented Ji Yuqian's "Scientific Revolution", Shao Wenyuan took it and turned a few pages and said: "I have read this book, the content is not new, seven or eight years ago an Israeli scholar wrote a similar prophecy. ”

Kunlun briefly recounted what had happened recently and asked for Shao Lao's theoretical support.

Shao Wenyuan said: "Let me ask you, what is the fairest thing in this world?"

A spark flashed in Kunlun's heart, which coincided with what he thought, and he replied: "The fairest thing is time and life. ”

Shao Wenyuan nodded approvingly: "Yes, only time and life are the fairest, time will not give anyone one more second or less, people in the world, whether they are emperors and saints, or peddlers and pawns, will die after all, there are two eternal laws in the world, one is balance, the other is change, breaking one balance, there must be another balance to replace, it cannot be achieved overnight, and it cannot be reversed." ”

Kunlun said: "I know what to do. ”

Shao Wenyuan said: "If you know, do it, I will send you another word, every hero who comes to the world is on a mission, and the creator will not treat the envoys he sent to the world." ”
