"But isn't a dream also a desire?" At this time, Lu Li suddenly asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"No, desires come from the biological instinct of man, but dreams are higher than the biological instinct."

Yang Hai pointed to the goshawk flying between the cliffs and said: "For example, some people will dream of flying in the sky when they see a bird flying in the sky. From ancient times to the present, countless people have lost their lives because of the dream of flying, and it is precisely because of the sacrifices of generations that there will eventually be airplanes. Can you say that they risk their lives out of desire? ”

“…… In order to circumnavigate the earth and prove that the earth is round, Magellan went through countless tribulations, and even sacrificed himself on the journey, was it because of desire that he embarked on the journey? ”

“…… In the near future, we can foresee that there will be people who will embark on the road of interstellar travel without hesitation, and they may not be able to return to human civilization from the moment they leave the solar system until the end of their lives, is it because of desire? ”

Lu Li shook his head again and again.

Yang Hai finally concluded: "That's why I said that this is a dream era. ”

Dream Era!

-- An era in which dreams are the first driving force for the development of civilization!

Lu Ze calculated a little in his heart.

He began to hibernate in 2016, and after the end of 2096, he entered the Galactic Era, and according to his hibernation time of 100 years, then it is now 20 years of the Galactic Era.

Twenty years is not a long time, but in the 20 years of this dream era, human civilization may have changed more than the entire A.D. era combined.

Although Lu Ze's understanding of this era is limited to technologies such as brain-computer interfaces, neural uploads, star spirit networks, and virtual worlds, he can see that the current human beings, whether they are material civilization or spiritual civilization, must be far beyond his imagination.

So he asked Yang Hai, "Can you tell us about the social structure of this dream era?" ”

Yang Hai nodded: "In this era, there is no distinction between countries, everyone lives according to their dreams and wishes, and many people gather and live together because of the same dreams, which forms a community. ”

"For example, our 'Regeneration Group' has now transformed from a technology group in the Common Era to a community, where everyone is working for the dream of equality."

"Equality? Is there still inequality in this era? Lu Ze was surprised.

"Absolutely!" Yang Hai's tone was categorical.

"Although this era is no longer an era of inequality in status, status and property. But when people don't have to worry about food and clothing, they begin to pursue spiritual enjoyment, then they naturally tend to approach the good things and stay away from the ugly things. Since many people's minds are still immature, there are all kinds of contempt between people, the white despise the black, the thin despise the fat, and the beautiful despise the ugly...... These people may not openly express their contempt, but their actions inadvertently show that contempt. ”

Lu Ze groaned: "Indeed, appearance is innate, and having a good impression or dislike for a person because of appearance is a kind of inequality. But how do you solve this problem that the contempt for race and physical appearance has been with human civilization for a long time? You can't make everyone look the same, right? ”

Yang replied: "We are trying to solve this problem by changing the appearance through biotechnology. It's like plastic surgery in your time. You can imagine that if people changed their appearance as simple as changing a piece of clothing, and everyone could set their appearance, height, weight, etc. at will according to their own preferences, wouldn't this problem be solved? ”

"That's really a solution." Lu Ze nodded, "Maybe one day people will say 'you look so good today' instead of 'you are so beautiful today' when they greet them." ”

"In addition to this, there is the inequality of intelligence between people. Especially between us Prometheans and ordinary people, there is an impossible gap to bridge. Alice's research on neural uploads is actually to realize this dream of equality......"

"Am I right?" Yang Hai said and suddenly turned his head and asked Alice.

Alice was silent for a long time before she nodded and sighed, "But I don't know if this is my dream or my obsession with my sister?" ”

"Obsession?"

Lu Ze and Lu Li were both a little puzzled.

Yang Hai had previously said to Sarah, "If you insist on opposing Alice, you will hate you even more", and now Alice herself says that she studied neurological transmission because of her obsession with Sarah.

So what exactly is the relationship between Sarah and Alice?

Alice said slowly: "A hundred years ago, the Dimon consortium controlled by our family was one of the largest financial groups on the planet, although it lost a lot in that economic crisis, but then caught up with the wave of the development of the earth's neural network, with a huge capital, the Dimon family became one of the largest rulers on the planet. After the success of the Promethean experiment, our family also did their best to make my sister a Promethean person. ”

"My sister Sarah has shown superhuman talent since she was a child, she was born destined to inherit our family, and her every move attracts everyone's attention. As a younger sister, although I have lived a carefree life like a princess since I was a child, my sister's aura is so dazzling that everyone looks at her with the same eyes as if they were looking at rare treasures, and looking at me is like looking at a stone on the side of the road......"

"So from a very young age, I was eager to prove that I was no worse than my sister! I tried my best to learn everything I could! However, no matter how hard I tried and how much sweat I shed, in the eyes of others, my identity will always be Sarah's sister, the princess of the Daemon family. As for what I'm capable of, it doesn't matter at all! Nobody cares at all! ”

Alice shouted hoarsely.

Lu Ze and Lu Li thought of Alice's information displayed on the Star Spirit Network, and the first sentence was "Alice Damon, Sarah Damon's sister". Both of them were silent, not knowing how to comfort Alice.

Alice took a breath, and then said in a mocking tone: "It's ridiculous, those people never dreamed that it was their sister who had placed infinite expectations on her sister who personally pulled the Damon family down from the altar and made everyone in the family fall from the top of the power to ordinary people." ”

"The Prometheans possess intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people, and everyone knows this, and acquiesces to it, and no one will compete with them without taking their own strength. Only I was not reconciled, so I joined the 'Regeneration Group' and started studying the human brain here, and I wanted to find a way to break the intellectual boundaries between ordinary people and Prometheans! ”
