Chapter 404: The Future of Mankind (Part II)

Outside the waiting room is a huge station square.

The tunnel that the three of them saw on the hillside before led to here, and the electronic sheep saw the endless stream of trucks at that time, but when they entered, they saw that what got off the trucks was not goods at all, but groups of people.

Qiu Ming continued on the previous topic.

"At the beginning, memory coding technology was applied to ordinary people, and some rich people or top middle-class families hoped that their children could win at the starting line, so they secretly used memory encoders to program a lot of skills for their children when they were very young, and even gave them some leadership characters and qualities.

Sure enough, the children whose memories had been recoded immediately stood out from their peers, far surpassing their peers, and when they grew up, whether they started from scratch or took over the family business, they would quickly take off, beat one competitor after another, and complete the crazy accumulation of wealth.

"It's like opening the golden finger of life." Qiu Ming said with emotion.

And along with their success, the upper class has also set off a wave of memory coding, and more and more people are deciding to let their sons and daughters receive memory coding, if not to make them winners in life, at least not to lose at the starting line.

"At the same time, on the other hand, the market for high-end skilled talents has finally become saturated due to the continuous input of new humans, and the demand for this part of the talent in various companies and enterprises is becoming less and less.

The electronic sheep's eyes widened when he heard this, "Wait, what about those ordinary people?" ”

"Good question, as you might guess, as the major groups have changed the direction of training new humans, and companies have also opened a large number of new human blue-collar workers in the labor market, replacing lazy and inefficient ordinary workers with them, more and more people have lost their jobs and lived on welfare, many families have broken up, and some lucky people have not been fired immediately, but they are also very clear in their hearts that if this continues, it will be a matter of time before they lose their jobs.

"Relying on primitive learning methods, and carrying all kinds of personality flaws, they can't compete with those new humans in the workplace, and what is even more tragic is that they know that when their children grow up, there is a high probability that they will repeat their mistakes, and this kind of trouble is not only them, but also those new humans who are now thriving, and the next generation they naturally give birth to also have the same troubles.

"And there's only one way to solve this problem." Qiu Ming paused, "That's to accept the memory code, and do what the rich have started to do to their children a long time ago." It doesn't matter who the first ordinary person to accept memory coding is, in short, in order to survive, in order to support their families, and not to be maggots in society, more and more ordinary people choose to embark on this road and accept memory coding, just like the beauty that was once all the rage. ”

"If beauty can change a person's physical defects, then memory coding can change a person's soul defects, laziness, selfishness, arrogance...... These can be repaired, and more accurately, they can be fine-tuned according to the profession you are engaged in, the workers in the assembly line can become more tolerant of boredom, and the management of the company can become more charismatic......

In the beginning, their strategy did work, as long as they were willing to be ruthless, and with a sum of money, ordinary people could make themselves more powerful than the new humans through memory encoding, but soon, the new humans also sensed the challenges they faced, so the new humans also began to spend money to recode their memories, giving themselves a more perfect character and strong work ability.

"Things are starting to get crazier and crazier, and everyone is constantly patching themselves with updates through memory encoders, just like app updates. Competition is endless, and those group companies are of course aware of this, and by this time the population growth rate has actually returned to normal, no, it should be said that it has not only returned to normal, but also far exceeded the growth rate originally planned, but in order to reduce labor costs, those groups did not stop the artificial reproduction plan.

"In order to house the remaining explosive population, the major groups have also begun to look to space, the new Shanghai 0297 is invested in this context, you can think that the vast majority of the residents here, are the staff of the Tang Morgan, through the application into this new city to work, before the work will be rewritten according to the job requirements of each company, you don't have to feel sorry for them to lose their original memory, because the vast majority of them have already experienced dozens of memory writing, They have long forgotten what their original memories are.

"The memory rewriting before joining the company is actually for their good, which can help them better integrate into their new work and life, whether it is a clone or an ordinary person, they actually have only one common identity here, which is the means of production, the most perfect means of production.

"Of course, considering that the goods produced must be sold, they will also play the role of the consumer side at the same time, whether it is the division of the five floors of space, or those constantly rolling advertisements are to stimulate them to consume more, only when consumption and production are increasing, can society prosper."

Hearing this, the electronic sheep only felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and he could even hear the sound of his teeth colliding together, "But what's the point of all this?" What we get in the process, except that it becomes less and less like itself. ”

"Good question." Qiu Ming snapped his fingers, "But who will let the wheel of history move forward forever, maybe make another choice, go back to the beginning of the artificial reproduction plan, human beings will choose to close Pandora's box and strangle all this at the source, but unfortunately there is no if in this world, once the productive forces begin to develop, the backward will inevitably be eliminated."

"It's not something that any individual can stop, you can't, I can't, not even the board of directors of Tang Morgan...... Because there are many equally powerful competitors like Tang Morgan, as far as I know, the people on the board have even experienced memory coding hundreds of times.

"I actually envy you, after the memory is rewritten, you can live in this city without doubt and believe what you want to believe, but for people in other parts of the company, we don't even know what to believe," Qiu Ming said, "It's like what I'm telling you now, whether it's the truth, or if there is another version of the truth besides this, I don't know, it took me a long time to stop thinking about this question, I sincerely hope that you will not go through the troubles that I have experienced. ”
