Chapter 10 Exploring the Tiger's Den Thirteen
Yuan Qidong smiled, it seems that Miss Zhuge Xianxian is still very worried about the country and the people, quite her grandfather's demeanor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he motioned for Zhuge Immortal to sit down.
"You're only talking about part of it. When the time comes, all legal systems will have to be modified to adapt to the reality of human longevity. For example, a sentence of 10 or 20 years in prison has become a deterrent, at least a zero should be added to the end.
What about marital problems? What should a middle-aged man in his 600s do if he wants to find a wife and have a child? A woman is only fertile before the age of fifty, does he want to find a woman who is more than 600 years younger than himself? This problem will also be troublesome, and even IVF techniques require the assistance of women of appropriate age.
The natural world will also be greatly damaged, the current housing will definitely not be enough, housing prices will rise to astronomical figures, please forgive me, now Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are already astronomical. People can only continue to encroach on the territory of the natural world. Forests, meadows, hillsides, and even lakes and seas will be encroached upon. When the time comes, islands like Hydra Island will be floating all over the oceans.
Wars frequently break out around the world due to the competition for various resources, and even turn into world wars. Perhaps politicians will use population reduction as a justification for war mobilization.
Species in nature will also become extinct in large numbers due to the destruction of their living environment.
Maybe a few hundred years later, three or four men of a few hundred years old will get together and hunt in the suburbs, and their targets will be grasshoppers, toads, scorpions, snakes and the like, and whatever they can move will be caught and eaten anyway. If you don't eat anymore, you can't eat it, and it's all extinct. At that time, catching grasshoppers could be punishable.
There are too many social problems that come with immortality. After the whole society reaches the limit of bearing, there will inevitably be many social problems, such as the energy crisis, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the collapse of the social security system, and the inadequacy of the existing system.
It's an apocalyptic picture. What's even more ironic is that the end of this world is still created by human beings after the development of science and technology has reached a peak. It was created by my old man's own life. Hahahaha. People wanted to make a delicious big cake to satisfy their appetite, but the cake was so delicious that it killed everyone. ”
Zhuge Xianxian: "That's it, you have thought of why you want to do it." ”
Yuan Qidong: "Because there are still benefits." If we simply think about the explosive increase in human lifespan when we break through the limit of lifespan, we will definitely worry about the future of mankind.
But if you look at the bright side, things don't seem so bad.
In modern society, each of us needs to use the most vigorous and energetic twenty or thirty years of our lives to complete the accumulation of knowledge. The easiest age to make achievements is around 30 to 40 years old, and between 50 and 60 years old, those who have the ability are basically lying on their own merits waiting for retirement. Don't mention those who can't afford it, I've been worrying about food and clothing, and I have to start all over again often.
The knowledge and experience that we have painstakingly accumulated will be idle for physical or psychological reasons in just about 20 years, so this is the greatest waste of human society. Think about how we got this knowledge. How painful the process of learning is, how difficult the exam is, how many people hate it so much that they even jump off the building and commit suicide.
In fact, we should not hate this knowledge, they are the wealth of all mankind, the accumulation of many centuries, and we should hate that we do not have so much time to learn them.
Now, it won't seem so urgent. We can slow down the pace of learning, and we can enjoy the fun of learning and the beauty of life more perfectly. If we want, we can become experts in any subject without having to be upset that we didn't get into the university of our dreams. Because we have time.
We can work for ten years, then study, study for three years, work again, and so on.
This release, for the individual, will be well worth it. Our memories of our youth will be even better. And the years of youth will be longer, although you are a hundred years old, you are still young.
At that time, you may be so leisurely that you hate to spend too long, but now, we spend the best time of our lives learning and accumulating wealth. When we really want to enjoy life, we find that the body no longer belongs to us completely, and many parts have returned to nature.
Even so, there are people who hate us and want us to work for two more years.
The biggest dividend of the explosive growth of human life expectancy is the explosive growth of talents, especially for high-end talents. Think about it, if Einstein lived to be 1,000 years old, what would he have been able to do? Maybe time travel has already been realized.
This increase in knowledge will create immeasurable wealth. The real big bang of knowledge is not only for society, but also for individuals. After working for two or three hundred years, it is difficult for you not to become an expert. At that time, all kinds of crises will be solved one by one in front of intelligent human beings.
One can find alternatives to fossil fuels and no longer use petroleum coal.
People will also find more productive varieties of food, or even substitutes for food, and hunger will be far away from us.
We don't know where the answer is, but there will certainly be.
As for the loopholes in the system, I believe that since people can formulate their own systems, they will be more comfortable in changing them.
Science and technology in various fields, after a period of accumulation, the top people will be more and more, like the Spring and Autumn Period of a hundred schools of thought will come, then, science and technology will develop by leaps and bounds, many new technologies and new products that we can't imagine now, will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
Even our exploration of outer space will go farther and faster. Maybe the wave of space immigrants in science fiction will soon arrive.
Everything is going to change, and it's a huge change. The future is uncertain, but the reality is so bad that there is nothing to worry about. ”
After listening to Yuan Qidong's tirade, Zhuge Xianxian's mind was a little confused. These reasons seem to make a lot of sense, but they don't seem to make much sense. She is no longer a chick who has just left college, and she knows that she can't blindly follow and can't superstitious experts. He retorted, "You may have a point, but we have to make a thorough assessment of all the possibilities before we can do it." And it must also be approved by the United Nations, by the national Government. It's very dangerous to conduct biological experiments like yours. ”
Yuan Qidong: "You're right, but I just don't do that." What can you do with me? ”
Zhuge Xian Xian was so angry that he almost lost control: "You, you, you." "She didn't say anything for a long time.
Yuan Qidong: "Since you're so clingy, I'll give you a reason why you have to do it." Remember the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of Beijing. You know, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. You look ahead and miss the opportunity, and when someone else does it, monopolizing this technology is still a trivial matter. If we secretly promote the elite of society and create a group of first-class scientists, and then they will be far behind us in all technologies, then we will return to the era of using broadswords against other people's rifles, are you willing? ”
Zhuge Xian Xian calmed down a little: "But, but, but, this is still too difficult to accept." I'm worried about ......"
Yuan Qidong: "Little fairy." You're a good guy. Have compassion. But have you ever wondered what it was like for those soldiers when people invented guns and bullets could pierce armor? How frightened? Not to mention the soldiers, even the emperor is trembling, in the past the emperor could guarantee his absolute safety, but now he can't, no matter how much armor he wears, no matter how many guards he has, he can't guarantee that he will not be killed by a single shot. Will others stop building guns because you're afraid? So. The development of science and technology is inevitable, and we cannot refrain from developing because we are afraid, and if we do not develop, we will fall behind. We must not only develop, but also fast, to occupy the high ground. ”
Zhuge Immortal nodded. That's pretty much it. For example, now that there is a super laser cannon, even the president is not safe, who can guarantee that the assassination will not come from space. Don't you want to develop?
Yuan Qidong took out his design results in the past two days: "Hurry up and send this out, Zhu Zhu knows to find those places to do it, let them make it as soon as possible." I'm waiting to play, oh, use. ”
Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is already the fifteenth day since Yuan Qidong entered the secret laboratory.
Most of the hardware for the choking system is in place, but things are not going well for the DNS root server. Yesterday, Panghai personally visited ICANN's CEO, Williams, to propose a collaboration, which was unsurprisingly rejected.
The gentleman was very averse to any business-related cooperation projects on his turf. He stated that ICANN is a not-for-profit organization and will never engage in any commercial activities. He also taught the sea a lesson: Do you know what a non-profit organization is? If all government departments start doing business, do you think there will be a level playing field for business? Similarly, if a platform managed by a non-profit organization is suddenly mixed with monetary interests, is there any impartiality in this platform?
Although Da Da Hai has been educated, he respects this old man even more. Of course, he agrees with him, in terms of unfair competition, Da Hai suffers no less than anyone else, but he takes advantage of more.
In this case, should we disclose the situation of the choking system?
