Lu Ze slept for twelve hours this night, although the room in the "Heavenly Palace" was very simple, but that actually meant that the room was empty, with no superfluous decorations, only the necessities of life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is still a habit retained from the early days of the "Heavenly Palace", if someone is not satisfied with this, you can live on the sixth floor below.

If you only talk about the comfort of this bed, it will not be worse than that on earth, and I don't know how comfortable it is compared to the bed at Lu Ze's home a hundred years ago. And the gravity here is also comparable to the earth's surface, so it won't make people unaccustomed, so Lu Ze's sleep quality is actually very good.

After sleeping for so long, Lu Ze couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up, and the walls of the room lit up at the right time.

He was the only one in the room, and according to Lu Li's character, it was estimated that he was playing in the virtual game world again, and he didn't plan to disturb Lu Li playing the game. And the cosmic standard time is used in "Heavenly Palace", it is exactly half past five in the morning, most people are still asleep, and Lu Ze is not good to disturb Tianhuo and He Ruiyin now, so he simply walked out of the room alone.

The traffic in the "Heavenly Palace" is very convenient, and you can directly reach any corner of any floor of the Space City by taking the maglev elevator, and Lu Ze can even call the elevator directly to the room. However, he doesn't have a clear purpose now, he just wants to walk around, so he didn't take the maglev elevator.

Coming out of the room is a 50-meter-long corridor lined with the same rooms as him. Probably because it was too early in the morning, the whole corridor was quiet, so you could clearly hear the faint sound of "ping-pong" coming from the side of the corridor.

Lu Ze walked in the direction where the voice came from.

As the distance got closer, the sound gradually became clearer, and it was the familiar sound of Lu Ze playing table tennis.

As for why there is such a thing as table tennis in the "Heavenly Palace", Lu Ze is not surprised.

Because table tennis is the hottest sport in this era, there is no one.

Long before Lu Ze's hibernation, table tennis was already popular around the world, but at that time, table tennis was more of a form of entertainment in Western countries.

Table tennis really became popular in the era of the Earth's neural networks.

At that time, because of environmental problems, everyone had to live in cities, and the population density in cities was very large, and sports that required large fields, such as football and basketball, became a luxury, but table tennis, which only needed a table to play, became more and more popular.

And eventually it became a national sport.

Nine out of ten people play table tennis.

Although after entering the galactic era, the birth of brain-computer interface technology has brought a variety of new forms of entertainment, and the number of people playing table tennis has gradually decreased, but after all, the foundation is there, and table tennis is still the most popular sport in this era.

Even the seventeenth floor of the underground city, which was originally used as a research center, has a ping-pong table.

Not to mention the space and entertainment in this space city.

Lu Ze was just curious about what kind of person would be who got up so early to play.

And it fights so badly!

It stands to reason that getting up to play so early should be a person who loves table tennis very much, but listening to this sound, the rhythm is slow, and there are pauses from time to time.

After passing through the corridor, Lu Ze saw the two people who were playing.

The figures of these two people can be said to be completely two extremes, one of them is round, and it seems that he weighs at least 200 pounds, while the other petite person is Lu Li.

No, isn't Lu Li a transcendent, and she can't touch things in reality, how can she play table tennis?

It took Lu Ze a long time to figure out that the fat man was also a transcendent.

The reason why Lu Ze didn't react for a while was because that person was too fat. Transcendents can modify their appearance at will, and in such a situation, who else wants to maintain such a fat figure?

Now he's seen it.

This person is either aesthetically pleasing and fat, or he doesn't care about his appearance at all.

After understanding this, the previous doubts also dissipated, not because they liked table tennis to get up so early to play, but because they didn't have to sleep at all as transcendents.

As for the level of the two.

One is a fat man, who is not good at sports at first glance, how high can you expect him to be?

The other is Lu Li, not to mention, although Lu Li inherited Lu Ze's table tennis level, Lu Ze is also self-aware, he is a three-legged cat himself.

At this time, Lu Li found Lu Ze, and immediately threw down the paddle and jumped over, and said happily: "Lu Ze, you finally got up." ”

Lu Ze snorted, and then asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of playing table tennis?" ”

"It's boring." Lu Li replied, "There are more than 10 million people on the 'Heavenly Palace' plus the moon, and it is not divided into different time zones like the earth, and the people here all work and rest according to the standard time of the universe, but everyone goes to sleep at night, and they can't play virtual games with someone if they want to, so they have to come out to play alone." ”

Lu Ze looked at the fat man over there again and asked, "Then how did you get to know him?" It can't just happen to happen, right? ”

"You said Zhang Xingfu, I'm bored alone, so I searched for nearby transcendents through Tianyuan.com, and I found him, and it just so happened that he was also bored alone, and then we played table tennis together......"

"Okay." Lu Ze was speechless for a while, not to mention why the function of Tianyuan.com searching for nearby transcendents has such a strong sense of déjà vu, how weird it is for two strangers to meet together to play table tennis after meeting in the middle of the night, just the name Zhang Xingfu is full of complaints.

You must know that this fat man is a transcendent.

The names of the transcendents are all chosen by themselves.

What kind of strange thinking does it take to come up with such a name as "Zhang Xingfu" for himself.

Look at the people's Tianhuo, and Lan Ye, how handsome they are to name themselves. As soon as I looked at the name "Zhang Xingfu" again, a strong local atmosphere suddenly came to my face.

Lu Ze was about to say hello to Zhang Xingfu, but he saw that the fat man suddenly had a depressed expression, and at the same time he was still muttering to himself: "It's only 4720, and it's not easy to get on 5000, and it's falling down again......"

Lu Ze couldn't help but be curious: "What are you talking about?" What four thousand five thousand? ”

Zhang Xingfu said: "I'm talking about the happiness index in my happiness theory." ”

"The theory of happiness? Happiness? Lu Ze was even more curious.

"By the way, hello, my name is Zhang Xingfu." The fat man then remembered and introduced himself, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lu Ze excitedly.

Lu Ze was taken aback, thinking that he had met a fan like He Ruiyin again. I heard Zhang Xingfu speak: "I want to invite you to participate in my experiment, okay?" ”

Only then did Lu Ze understand that this was the eyes of his fans when they saw their idols, which was clearly the eyes of a mad scientist like Alice when he saw a guinea pig.

Lu Li stood in front of Lu Ze like an old hen protecting chickens, and said loudly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhang Xingfu looked at Lu Li, first froze for a moment, and suddenly showed a sad expression: "There are only 4500 left......"

Lu Ze said helplessly: "So what are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Xingfu explained: "What I just said is the happiness index, which is a technology I have researched to quantitatively measure people's happiness by using brain-computer interfaces, and the measured value is the happiness index." ”

"Can happiness still be measured?" Lu Ze was surprised.

Happiness is actually a very complex human emotion, according to people's common understanding of happiness, it is an emotion that arises when people's needs are satisfied.

It is undeniable that there are strong and weak feelings of happiness, but if you want to say that you can measure a specific number, Lu Ze absolutely does not believe it.

Just like "utility" in economic theory in the past, "utility" refers to a measure of the satisfaction of consumers' needs and desires through consumption or leisure.

When economists are conducting theoretical research, they can certainly use the cardinal utility theory, assuming that the amount of utility can be measured concretely. But that's just a theoretical study, and in reality no economist will actually try to measure the exact value of utility.

"Really?" Lu Li was also skeptical.

Hearing the doubts of the two, Zhang Xingfu immediately said: "You think that happiness cannot be measured, in fact, it is because people's definition of the concept of happiness in the past is too vague. My definition of happiness is directly neurologically defined, and I think happiness is a positive emotion that makes people feel good, will instinctively pursue, and activate the nerves. I tried to do things that people thought would make people happy, and then I used a brain-computer interface to detect changes in my neural signals, and finally found a way to measure happiness with specific values. ”

Lu Ze frowned and asked, "If your happiness theory is really correct, why hasn't it been popularized?" ”

Zhang Xingfu sighed and said: "Actually, I was only the first to put forward this theory, and the core technology for measuring happiness was completed with the help of Alice Dimon of the Regeneration Group, and the Regeneration Group refused to promote this technology. ”

Hearing Zhang Xingfu mention Alice, Lu Ze suddenly came to his senses, and Lu Ze had no doubt about Alice's ability, so Lu Ze asked: "Isn't the concept of the Regeneration Group equal for everyone?" Why refuse to promote this technology? ”

Zhang Xingfu replied: "Everyone can measure their happiness at any time, it does not mean that it can really bring happiness to all mankind, on the contrary, it will also bring new inequality, and people with low happiness will become more unhappy in comparison when they see others." This is Yang Hai's original words, and now I have figured it out, I don't want everyone to be happy, my dream now is to become the happiest person in all mankind, which is why I named myself Zhang Xingfu. ”
