Lu Ze and Lu Li still had a look of disbelief on their faces, they didn't expect that a good Star Spirit Network Conference would evolve like that.
Yang Haidao: "History has proven countless times the terrible group effect. And in the first Star Spirit Network Conference at the beginning of the Galactic Era, when 5.3 billion human beings were paying attention to the same thing in the same virtual world, this group effect was even more terrifying than imagined! There, the will of the individual is completely absent and can only be integrated into the spirit of the group. The psychology of not holding the public accountable makes them think that they are not responsible for their actions, so everyone loses their minds. ā
"And what about the outcome of the conference? Is it really going to be reclaimed? Lu Li couldn't help but ask.
Yang Hai spread his hands and said, "How is this possible?" In the end, of course, there is no end to it! No matter what kind of future they want, the development of civilization still has to be carried out step by step. It would take at least two years, let alone reclamation, to completely replace solar energy with fusion energy and dismantle the solar installations everywhere. On the whole, not only did nothing be resolved at that conference, but it left a mess, alas......"
Yang Hai sighed, and then continued: "In order to solve this mess, we began to guide human civilization, replacing 'desire' with 'dream' as the driving force for the progress of human civilization. So a few of us Prometheans formed a community, and it was at this time that the Regeneration Group changed from the original technology group to the form of a community. When everyone chooses to join or form their own community according to their dreams and wishes, there will no longer be a mess when everyone gets together, as was the case before. At this time, the development of human civilization can be regarded as on the right track. ā
"That time the Star Spirit Network Conference also exposed a problem, that is, the way that all mankind gathered in a virtual world to participate in the conference was flawed. In fact, many people expressed their indignation in hindsight. So in the second conference, the first thing we discussed was how to solve this problem. At that time, there was even a proposal to return to the system of congresses in the era of the state and to establish a unified human government, and this proposal received a lot of support and almost succeeded......"
Lu Li said: "When you say this, I suddenly think this proposal is good, after all, the first conference is too chaotic." ā
Yang Hai snorted and said: "Actually, you only need to think about it carefully to understand that this proposal must have been put forward by those in power who have lost their power in the new era, and they are not dead hearts!" If that happens, won't our efforts and Brother Zhang's efforts be completely in vain? ā
Lu Li stuck out his tongue embarrassedly: "Oh." ā
"Is the solution now the private venue?" Lu Ze asked.
"Yes, after all, the real speakers in the conference are actually those virtual personalities condensed by people's ideas, and there is no need for everyone to gather together, so we finally decided to separate everyone separately in the Star Spirit Network Conference, completely cutting off the possibility of group effect."
Yang Hai said as he led the two of them in the direction of the Tree of Civilization.
"Is this the personal venue? So who are these people? Is it a virtual personality? Lu Ze pointed to the dozen or so people who were standing or sitting and asked.
"Yes, after the popularization of the third-generation brain-computer interface technology, Xingling.com no longer needs to directly identify people's thoughts with the help of language, so although the conference has not yet started, the common thoughts of those who have entered the personal venue can already be condensed into a virtual personality."
Lu Ze nodded, unlike the virtual personality in the first conference, which only showed the appearance of a figure, there were a total of thirteen virtual personalities here, both men and women, young and old, all of whom looked like real people, and there were no numbers on their heads, so he was not sure just now.
"Why don't these avatars have numbers on their heads?" Lu Ze asked again.
Yang Haidao: "According to the analysis of psychologists, the reason why there was such a big confusion in the first conference actually has a lot to do with the numbers displayed on the head of the virtual personality. Everyone has a reluctance to admit that they are wrong, and when people see that so many people think the same as themselves, they will think that their ideas are correct, and those ideas that really make sense are often ignored because of the small number of people. So now the virtual personality no longer shows numbers. ā
"So what do these virtual personalities think? How can there be so many? Lu Li said curiously.
Yang Haidao: "Let's go over and see, won't we?" ā
So they approached one of the virtual personalities who was looking up at the Tree of Civilization in a daze, and heard this virtual personality muttering: "It's so boring, it's so boring, why hasn't the conference started yet......
Lu Li's head was suddenly full of black lines: "Okay, it seems that this virtual personality is condensed by those who are bored." ā
Then she looked at the only person lying on the ground, and couldn't help asking, "Then you say that this guy must be condensed by those who are asleep, right?" ā
"Poof!" Yang Hai burst out laughing at that time.
"What's wrong? What are you laughing at? ā
It took a long time for Yang Hai to recover and said, "He is not a virtual personality, but a living person." ā
"Huh?" Lu Li was dumbfounded.
Yang Haidao: "Now we are in spectator mode, so he can't see us, but let's say hello to him now." ā
Then Yang Hai walked up to the man, leaned down and shouted into the man's ear: "Hey! ā
The man was so frightened by the sudden shout that he somersaulted and flipped up.
Lu Ze and Lu Li glanced at each other, and then they both turned their heads, indicating that they had nothing to do with this guy.
Yang Hai said to the man: "Old Seven, the conference is about to start, why are you still asleep?" ā
The man known as Lao Qi snorted and said, "You are, didn't you convene this emergency meeting, why do you still have the leisure to mess around with me?" ā
Then he looked at Lu Ze and Lu Li, and wondered, "Who are the two of them?" ā
Yang Hai first pointed to the old seven and introduced the two: "His name is Lan Ye, oh, this name was taken by himself, one of the three giants of the 'Dream Tower'." ā
Lu Ze and Lu Li were stunned when they heard this.
In the previous few days of study, they all had a certain understanding of this era, and also knew that the 'Tower of Dreams' was the only community with three Prometheans.
And Yang Hai called him 'Old Seven' presumably because Lan Ye was ranked seventh among the nine Prometheans, just like the other 'Little Nine'.
Yang Hai pointed at Lu Ze and said: "He is Lu Ze, the 'father of the Star Spirit Network', you don't need to play too much, right?" ā
Lan Ye nodded lightly to Lu Ze, with a superior demeanor.
Then Yang Hai pointed to Lu Li and introduced: "Lu Li, Lu Ze's consciousness is a digital life formed after being transmitted through nerves. ā
Lan Ye's high-spirited demeanor suddenly couldn't be maintained.
He opened his mouth for a long time, looked at Lu Li and then at Lu Ze, his eyes turned back and forth between the two of them more than a dozen times, before he finally sighed: "It is worthy of being the 'father of the Star Spirit Network'." It's really fun! I'm ashamed of myself! ā
