The "elevator" carries two people in the tunnel along the track to accelerate, because the light in the tunnel is also evenly emitted from the tunnel wall, not illuminated by a lamp, so it will not be too fast to cause the light intensity into the elevator to flicker rapidly.

Even, when the "elevator" stopped accelerating, because the operation was too smooth, Lu Ze couldn't feel that the "elevator" was moving at all.

There was nothing to do all the way, but fortunately, the Star Spirit Network was everywhere, and it wouldn't be boring.

Through Xingling.com, Lu Ze learned that at this time, the speed of the "elevator" had reached 1200 kilometers per hour, which was very close to the speed of sound, but he did not encounter a sound barrier because of this, because there was a vacuum in this long-distance maglev tunnel.

The theoretical speed of the "elevator" can actually be faster, up to 2000 kilometers per hour, but for the sake of stability, it will not run at the theoretical maximum speed. It's like a train or any other means of transportation in the past.

As for the air circulation in the "elevator", it relies entirely on nanorobots to convert the carbon dioxide produced by human breathing into oxygen, and not only that, but it can even simulate the fragrance of plants and trees in nature.

Then Lu Ze learned about the latest news through Xingling.com.

Unsurprisingly, almost all of the important messages are related to neural uploads.

At present, the total number of people who have completed neural upload has reached 72 million, of which more than 68 million are elderly people over 120 years old, most of them are even older than Lu Ze who counts 100 years of hibernation, even if they are not facing the threat of death, their memory and thinking ability are also in continuous decline, which is a special situation, unless the neural upload is explicitly refused, otherwise they will be forced to upload consciousness.

If Lu Ze hadn't hibernated, as long as he could live until now, he would have been able to gain immortality through neural transmission. But from another point of view, if Lu Ze hadn't hibernated, Alice couldn't find an experimenter, and now neural upload technology may not appear.

And Lu Ze's parents, if they are still alive, they are now over 150 years old.

In fact, Lu Ze had inquired about the news of his parents as early as after the end of the Star Spirit Network Conference, but unfortunately, they had all passed away for decades and had no chance to enjoy the eternal life brought by neural upload.

The consciousness uploading of these 68 million elderly people was completed within the first month after the Star Spirit Network Conference, which was the first wave of impact of neural upload technology on human civilization.

For a month, researchers at Regeneration Group worked overtime to improve hibernation techniques and neural uploads to make the entire upload process safer and more efficient.

Fortunately, the industrial level of this era is not what it used to be, and once any new technology is developed, it can be mass-produced in a very short time, and at the same time, any technological improvement can also complete the upgrading of equipment that has been distributed around the world in a very short time.

But even so, it took a whole month to meet the needs of so many elderly people to upload their consciousness.

Of the rest of the uploaders, less than 2 million people really rely on psychological tests for neural uploading, and the rest have suffered various "accidents" so that they have to perform neural uploads.

It's ridiculous to think about. How could there be so many accidents at the level of technology in this era? Even if there is an accident, what is the probability that there is no death and no complete treatment, so that you have to upload nerves?

From this, we can imagine how crazy people are for neural upload, which is the second wave of impact on human civilization brought by neural upload technology.

In fact, this is entirely due to the fact that the psychological test made by Yang Hai is too difficult.

But if the psychometric test is not rigorous enough, it will only lead to more problems in the end.

There is no way to stop this kind of thing. In the end, Yang Hai made a decision and stipulated that anyone who accepted the nerve upload because of an accident, whether it was a real accident or not, must accept a three-year punishment, and the situation improved slightly.

But a third wave of shock followed, this time an impact on old ideas.

Just like Alice's appearance set up at the beginning, of course, those old people who have uploaded their consciousness are not willing to maintain that old and weak appearance after becoming transcendent, so they have modified their appearance, and they have all turned into handsome men and beautiful women.

They themselves are happy, but how will their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-great-granddaughters get along with them in the future?

Do you want to call these people who are younger than yourself the ancestors?

Imagine further, in a few years, will there be a situation where more than ten generations or even hundreds of generations of a family will exist at the same time? What should I call it then?

This has had a great impact on the old family concept, and there is even a "final conclusion of generation":

No matter what the relationship is before uploading consciousness, after becoming an immortal transcendent, everyone is no longer judged by blood relationship, there is no longer a seniority, all transcendents belong to the same generation, and the relationship between parents and children still exists, but this is only a relationship and not a generation.

Further, there is even the notion that all human beings, whether transcendent or not, are no longer judged by generation.

Lu Ze agrees with the former, and as for the latter, although he does not oppose it, he also knows that such a change cannot be achieved in a while.

He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with the ideas contained in this final conclusion, and then when he looked it up, it was indeed the "regeneration group" that advocated equality that was the first to put forward.

However, it is actually good for the old man to become younger, for transcendents, the appearance can be changed if they want, male to female, female to male, it is a common thing. This is the fourth wave of shock.

It is also the biggest controversy that neural upload technology has brought about so far.

A person has been a man or woman all his life, and now he has the opportunity to change his gender, and he doesn't need to pay any price, he can change it back at any time, who doesn't want to experience it?

At the beginning, many transcendents were still a little embarrassed about this kind of thing, obviously they wanted to do it in their hearts, and they made excuses for themselves one after another-Isn't Lu Ze, the "father of the Star Spirit Network", also a girl in his second consciousness?

Lu Ze is also drunk, this is all made by Alice, why do he and Lu Li have to lie down.

However, immortality and the free alteration of appearance are the inevitable result of human evolution, and even without the advent of neural upload technology, these things will happen when Regeneration Group's appearance equality program and reverse transcription nanobot engineering succeed.

What people can do about these changes is not to criticize or resist, but to adapt as much as possible.

Of course, everyone has their own way of life, and not everyone endorses neurouploading.

Among them, the "Garden" community is the first.

The gardeners of the "Garden" have their own philosophy of life and conduct.

As Yang Hai and Alice said before the Xingling Network Conference, according to the idea of "garden", all transcendents are "machines".

But this "machine" does not really mean a machine, but a symbol, an idea of nature as the enemy of man, as an object to be conquered.

In the eyes of gardeners, "life" is natural, so the crops created by humans in the laboratory through genetic recombination technology are not "life", but "machines" that serve the interests of human beings.

In the same way, the human body is of course natural, so in the eyes of the gardener, the essence of neural upload technology is actually to treat the human body as the enemy of human beings, so that the result of completely negating itself is, of course, that "people" become "machines".

However, "machine" and "garden" are not absolutely opposed to each other, and "machine" can also exist in "garden".

Otherwise, wouldn't all the miracles that mankind has achieved from the beginning of the industrial age to the present day become the object of their opposition?

The dream of the "garden" is to restore the earth to its original state, and to do so, it is also necessary to rely on the help of "machines", because the earth's environment has been destroyed to the point where it is almost impossible to recover naturally.

Gardeners never thought of excluding the "machine" from the "garden", but rather to see if the "machine" served the purpose of the "garden".

Gardeners are well aware that this is the time when human civilization needs stability rather than conflict, so they are only more actively promoting the idea of the "garden" rather than standing up and attacking neural upload technology at this time.

Most of those objections were aimed at the existing shortcomings of neural upload technology, such as the fact that Lu Ze already knew that transcendents could not enjoy those extreme delicacies such as "groundbreaking mapo tofu" in the virtual world.

However, with the development of technology, these problems will always be solved.

Other than that, the rest of the objections were made by those who held idealistic or dualistic views who didn't even have a chance to speak at the Star Spirit Conference.

Most of these people are minors or the elderly.

Minors are fine, their minds will always mature in the process of continuous learning.

And those elderly people, if they always refuse to accept neural uploads, they will only face the result of being eliminated by time.

Therefore, although there are many opposing remarks, compared to the four major shocks, the impact can be said to be minimal.

After about an hour and a half, the "elevator" slowly slowed down, and after a few turns, it rose upwards and entered directly into a small plane.

This is because the base stations of the space elevators are built on the equator, and the base stations they go to must pass through the sea, and the undersea tunnel is usually built between the straits with a water depth of only a few tens of meters, and it is impossible to build an undersea tunnel as for the ocean thousands of meters deep. So they can only fly by plane.

When he knew that the speed of the "elevator" reached 1,200 kilometers per hour, Lu Ze was still thinking: Why don't you go to heaven if you are so powerful?

As a result, this "elevator" really flew into the sky.

Lu Ze was convinced orally.

And thinking of their destination, the space elevator base station, Lu Ze couldn't help but think, could this "elevator" still take them directly into space?
