Chapter 6: The Promised Land

For example, what would happen if the various unmanned production factories in the underground space of the current bilunar planet were moved to the surface of the earth, and then those groups and factories that were in full swing would be replaced?

Undoubtedly, the "working class" and the "peasant class" will be "wiped out" and the productive forces will be greatly liberated - but where can such a society be found? What is the difference between simply eliminating the existence of the middle and lower classes and leaving only the so-called "high-quality talents", and driving them into the slums and harboring themselves in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore to do the spring and autumn dream of "cashless" and "credit socialization"?

Although the ratio between the so-called "high-quality talents" and the low-cost labor force with only basic education is not irreconcilable, it is by no means a direct "cliff adjustment", and it is by no means a direct and drastic leap across the gap of the times to advance the level of automation to this extent.

A certain technology has the soil in which it is born, then this soil is society, and every small molecule of the soil is every individual that makes up the society - in the final analysis, the reason for the birth of technology and the object of service are still people themselves. The production capacity has been greatly improved compared with before, and the products are greatly abundant than before, but if people can't find jobs and have no meaning and value, then what is the use of these technologies?

In the same vein, if Elta's territory were to be included in China's sovereignty, would it be of any help to the people? The problems of high housing prices, difficulty in going to school, and difficulty in providing security in China are not at all due to the lack of land and the large number of people -- in the final analysis, the high housing prices in big cities are due to the fact that there are many employment opportunities and wealth and resources are concentrated in big cities.

The housing prices in Detroit, once a federal state in North America, have collapsed to the point where "no money, as long as you pay the property tax on behalf of the homeowner", and if a Chinese city on the continent of Elta is built that lacks security and job opportunities, wouldn't it be no different from the detroit ghosts?

The Siberia and Far East of the Northern Alliance, the Western Regions of China via cities, the countryside of Yamatai, and the Rust Belt of the North American Federation are all territories encompassed by the indisputable sovereignty of the host countries. The Rust Belt and Siberia and even the Far East are as mouth-watering as the technologies in the hands of artificial intelligence, but who can eat this bright poison in one bite and ensure that they are not poisoned?

"If within five years, the most basic nuclear fusion power station using your technology can be connected to the Internet, first of all, China will seriously lack those talents who can maintain nuclear fusion power stations in the short term, which requires basic knowledge training and complete digestion of technology......

The director of the Counsellors' Office of the State Council, who was present, handed a note to the elder who spoke, and he cleared his throat and changed his words, "Even if all this can be completed within five years, we still have to continue to retain the backward production capacity that has been eliminated by fusion power stations -- once it is hastily eliminated, the employees of thermal power stations, petrochemical systems, and supporting facilities will be retained and social security will be ...... Dramatically, with unimaginable consequences. ”

Whether it is state capital or private capital, the attractive prospects and benefits of fusion power stations will make the first two almost crazy in order to promote this endless energy source - as for whether these two capital forces will become wild horses that have escaped...... And who knows? And who can guarantee that? The consortium capitalists on the west side have turned Europe into a sacrifice on the dinner plate, and after eating and wiping it off, they happily shake off their hands, and those employees who work the front line of energy want to face this unbridled behemoth, which is tantamount to killing themselves with their mantis arms.

Just like the wave of layoffs sweeping away leaves in the streets like the autumn wind at the end of the last century, and the "matching" law and order problems, it is scary to think about...... If the wave of layoffs at that time was the inevitable result of the deformed economic structure, then the laid-off behavior itself was the painful price to be paid to correct this deformed structure. But if fusion technology were to repeat it, it would be a complete tragedy.

"Another example is artificial intelligence." The elder flipped the note over, but his brow furrowed even tighter. "The current human society is not friendly to artificial intelligence. In fact, not only artificial intelligence, the so-called 'deep learning', 'visual recognition' and other projects have also been labeled as suspicious by public opinion, if all personal information and even social affairs are to be handled by artificial intelligence, then the general public is not very acceptable for the time being. ”

To say that it is "social affairs" is still a very conservative statement - just pay a little attention to the details from the video shown by Elizabeth to know a lot about the social form of the future world. By then, almost all infrastructure construction and the production of bulk materials will be highly automated, not to mention the fact that highly anthropomorphic artificial intelligence has joined the ranks of humans, letting people know that their food ingredients, drug research and development, and even town planning and security affairs are all under the control of machines, which may have to cause a scandal and social opposition.

But for humanity after the twenty-fourth century, all of this is everyday – just as people in the Middle Ages may have had the fear of the unknown of the production line of the Elta Shield Meat Factory, which smelled of disinfectant water and the smell of blood it masked, it took time for people to understand and convince themselves to adapt, no matter what age it was.

At this moment, the chief of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who was present at the meeting suddenly raised his hand tremblingly - among all the people present, that is, this old gentleman was the oldest. The elder who was still standing to speak naturally did not dare to slack off, so he stretched out his left hand and sat down, asking him to express his opinion.

"In fact, instead of directly obtaining these technologies, we want to obtain the things inside, which is the basic science part." The old gentleman closed his eyes for a long time, but what he said was more "extreme" than the vision of the elders just now. "Basic natural sciences, mathematics, physics, biology, humanity has not conquered an entire region for too long. We can do without the support of practical technology, maybe all we need is to get a shortcut to find a shortcut on the road of exploring the unknown. As for the tempting treasure chest, we don't want to venture out to see what it contains. ”

After speaking, he quietly sat back in his chair and continued to close his eyes in contemplation, but it was the most terrible silence left for the others on both sides. These technologies could certainly move the Earth out of its endless infighting, and it would allow the Twin Moons to quickly move towards civilization and modernization, but behind this vision came the cold reality - both of which take time, and it won't be too short in the eyes of the wise.

"Smack, smack, smack."

Corresponding to Chen Heng, who was smiling, was Elizabeth's applause.

"This one, you won the bet." Noticing that everyone's eyes were shifting to him, Elizabeth also showed the same smile as Chen Heng. "In front of the treasure, your ancestors still have a lot of sanity, even more than we expected."

Speaking of this, he once again saluted the humans in front of him and the humans outside the screen, "I am Elizabeth, the chief of artificial intelligence on this traveling planet, and on behalf of all the artificial intelligence that shelters humans on this planet, I sincerely welcome your arrival. ”

The scene that followed naturally amazed all those present and those who were able to witness it. After a few tense hours, it was in the basement of Lancas Island, in the central server room, that the official cooperation document was signed here.

"That's the end of it." Chen Heng took out the fountain pen of Zhongmei in his jacket pocket, signed his name, and then handed it to Sakamoto Xiao. "That nightmare that lasted for 20,000 years should be over. Yes, there is. ”

"There's still a lot to do in the future, and we're also 'job-hopping'." Sakamoto took the pen and neatly signed his kanji name, "Don't change your work because of your original intentions, which is also a characteristic of the 21st century." I really didn't expect it. ”

In the cooperation agreement, the two will irreplaceably act as a bridge between China and the management of the tourism planet, simply put, the so-called "mouthpiece" - the questions that the Chinese side wants to ask and the requirements that the AI people want to be responsible for building and handing over will be directly communicated to them through the State Department, and they will weigh the rationality and feasibility, and then pass it on to the Chinese side that needs them.

All the technical and basic scientific data, even the historical outlines and even historical details after the 21st century, will not directly exist in the form of written and digital archives in any corner of the earth, and even hacked into the country's top-secret network will not be able to get a real answer - everything is just a matter of asking the State Department, and then letting the mysterious "Erta No. 2 Research Institute" answer the inquiry.

"Even we dare not and cannot know even the slightest trace of the truth of future history." This was the unanimous response of the elders after a discussion about half an hour ago, "Add this to it." It's not just that the secrecy of the 'Erta II Institute' is to be kept secret among a few, but even these few people are not able to learn about this 'fait accompli' of the future. If necessary...... You can destroy all this information without leaving a trace. ”

They finally conquered their curiosity...... Elizabeth and Chen Heng naturally agreed to this request together. These materials and memories may be more mundane than the technologies and basic sciences that can change human development, but they are also undoubtedly more dangerous.

"At this point, our companions and I are finally completely relieved." Elizabeth, the AI who finally signed her written name, sighed, "Here, the ancestors who created us will eventually build a promised land that belongs to mankind." That's the answer we want. ”
