Chapter 536: Saving the Fallen
This has never been the case in history.
Both material civilization and spiritual civilization have gone to the front of the times, and they have gone far and wide.
This phenomenon has never happened in history, not even the most daring sociologist.
It has always been the level of productive forces that determines the level of material civilization, and then the level of material civilization determines the level of spiritual civilization.
People must first eat well, wear warm clothes, live in a place, and have a road, so that they can go to the stars at night to understand nature, figure out life, and comprehend the mysteries of the universe while eating, drinking, and Lazar.
The causal relationship between this before and after was almost crucified logically.
There are only two possibilities that will be broken.
First, human beings have been promoted and supported by good-natured alien civilizations, and have rapidly evolved from an intraterrestrial civilization to a stellar civilization in a short period of time. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
Second, an entire generation has exploded with creativity that should not have been, and has created an era of big explosions in a short period of time.
Now Chen Feng has created the second possibility with his own hands.
With the sustained and rapid growth of productivity under the guidance of Chen Feng, the collapse of the energy crisis, the widespread use of non-hazardous energy, and the rapid elimination of the environmental protection crisis, the rapid surplus of social production and living resources, people gradually find that even if they do not work hard and do not work hard to create, they can still be fed and clothed.
Moreover, Chen Feng has created too many entertainment things in this era.
Although what he does is positive-oriented content, the overabundance of material brings a completely stress-free life, and his high-quality entertainment products have become a temptation for people to live in an illusory world.
In society, some groups even have a strange illusion, and after seeing the stories of others' hard work, it seems that they have no regrets in this life and have a clear conscience.
It's a comical way of thinking, but it's objective.
Although truly creative people are not too affected by the external environment, it is true that some people have fallen.
Zhong Lei noticed this problem and was worried that this group of people would be eliminated by the times.
When Chen Feng heard this, he smiled: "It's okay." ”
It was a bit ruthless, but it was what he expected.
When mankind enters the era of the universe, it will inevitably face continuous changes in the social system.
If it is a normal human civilization, in the absence of external enemies, through long-term and slow technological advancement, step by step into the universe.
The universe itself is huge, even if it is just a small Orion arm, when human aircraft can only fly at half the speed of light, or even slower, to travel from one galaxy to another can take years, and it may even be calculated in tens of hundreds of years.
Because the distance is infinitely extended, it is extremely difficult to communicate with each other.
It will take too long to get from one galaxy to another.
It takes several generations, or even dozens of generations, on the same large aircraft to reach the destination.
In this case, unless a certain group is determined to carve out territory that belongs to itself and its descendants, no one will choose to sail away.
Theoretically, then, distance will make the entire human civilization show obvious regional differentiation, and eventually form different complex social systems.
Republican, military, religious, capitalist federation, science, slavery, and other systems may all appear.
Each of these different systems will have a very complex reason for the creation of a system that has to do with the rules within the planetary system and with the idea of the founder who created a galactic civilization base.
In addition, for a long period of time, various systems of human beings should alternate with each other.
Some systems will be overthrown, and after a period of evolution, they may return to the system that was overturned.
People who are born and live under different systems will present different cultural systems.
Of course, after this series of complex pains, as the level of science and technology continues to improve, the coverage area of real-time quantum networks is getting larger and larger, the speed of flying vehicles is getting faster and faster, and ultra-fast shuttle tools such as stargates and cosmic ladders are slowly popularized, human civilization will eventually be unified again and will move towards a new republic.
Individuals use self-discipline to restrain themselves.
Groups bind each other by a common great goal towards the universe.
The whole civilization became an organic whole, becoming a "starry republic".
Under the starry sky republic, individuals do not need to solve personal food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all needs are mainly based on the realization of self-worth.
Now, under Chen Feng's manipulation, the Star Republic has appeared on the earth in the 21st century in advance.
This inevitably leads to civilizational pains.
It is destined that some people's genes will be ruthlessly eliminated.
Chen Feng has even chosen a place of residence for this part of the people, which is the Australian mainland.
In the Millennium Plan, this is the price that must be paid in the process of civilization moving forward.
People who refuse to make progress and refuse to follow up with the times are destined to be quietly eliminated by time.
Whether it's the elderly, the young, or even the children who are still babbling, it's the same.
If children are not born in a family that keeps up with the times, they have not received a good education since they were young, and they have not been able to find a way of thinking to break through the difficulties of life in their own growth, they will eventually sink into a society with a high welfare system, grow up "dispensable", grow old "dispensable", and eventually die without anyone cares. 、
Even if there is "Crisis of the Compound Eye" to catch the ducks on the shelves, these people can only get by in life for the sake of games, and they can only complete the most basic social responsibilities and get the lowest value of life in the eyes of others.
It can't be helped.
In a sense, this kind of person is also very happy, at least they feel very satisfied.
Chen Feng can think about it.
He's seen too many of them in history.
He has seen more cruel ways of elimination, which is already gentle and very touching.
But compared to Chen Feng's indifference, Zhong Lei was more merciful after all, and she couldn't bear it.
"Can we play Morrowind publicly right now? Try it and see how it works? Now that we've mastered silent band playback devices that can't be heard by the ear, right? The cost is not high, right? ”
Zhong Lei asked.
Chen Feng shook his head, "It's useless, the enhancement of emotions will only make the degenerate more depraved." The time is not yet ripe. I estimate that it will take at least a hundred years for people to withstand Morrowind's effects when we build Mercury's Dyson cloud and start building spacecraft that can cross cosmic distances to reach Proxima Centauri. My preliminary estimate is that we won't be able to build our first long-range spacecraft until 2150 years at the earliest. ”
Zhong Lei shook her head unwillingly, "I always believe that there is a good side in people's hearts." Genes determine that everyone has a desire to create deep inside. ”
Chen Feng nodded, "That's the case, it's a pity that some people can't express this kind of gene in their bodies." In later studies, some scholars have studied this issue in depth. In our genes, there are both positive and negative directions. It's just that the part of normal people that expresses positively is slightly higher than the proportion of reverse expression. ”
Zhong Lei: "What about the super fungus you said?" ”
Feng Chen: "When the superenergetic bacteria take effect, all the negative and negative genes are suppressed. But we can't make superpotens right now. ”
"So this group has to be abandoned?"
"Yes."
Zhong Lei was silent for a long time, "Okay. ”
She didn't say what she was up to.
After completing "Morrowind", although her creative volume has been rising, she has also been groping.
She had previously told Chen Feng that she wanted to integrate the characteristics of Frydes's grand unification theory into the melody, so as to touch the depths of the human brain, really go deep into the genetic level, and change her audience.
Just as a high-blooded song can prompt a person to secrete dopamine.
Zhong Lei believes that since aliens can use "Song of the World" to infiltrate and change people's thinking patterns and become mechanized.
So, theoretically, the melody created by human beings themselves should have a higher potential.
No one has done it before.
In the past timeline, no one has done it in the future.
But that doesn't mean it will never be done.
