Think about it, if a person can retire early after working for 100 years, or 200 years, instead of 70% of the average life expectancy as is the case now, then people will not be so angry.

Zhang Yuan's words changed, and his eyes seemed to have traveled through the corridor of time and fell on everyone present. "But I'm here to implore the next captains and the leaders of the various departments to be sure to stop the implementation of this plan. Any bill on the virtual world has to be done with caution and care. ”

The generals and leaders in the conference room were all representatives of the New Civilization School, and after hearing these words, they were all stunned, and then Qi Sensen looked at the female captain.

None of them had seen this video in advance, and perhaps it was classified information that only the captain had access to.

The female captain had been opposed to this plan in previous meetings......

At first, they didn't understand why they were opposed, but after some thought, they gradually understood.

Sure enough, Zhang Yuan smiled and explained, "Why? Because virtual world technology is a black technology. Do you really think we're in full control of it? ”

"We've developed a huge number of virtual worlds, run the Transcendent program, and even screened some talent in the virtual world, and it seems like we've put the technology to good use......"

"Do we really have full control over it?"

"My answer is: no."

"Many, many people are still tempted by it. Our social ideology has shifted so much that we don't even fear death so much anymore. ”

"In the past, the standard for our population to enter the virtual world was that when the body aged to the limit, it could only enter the virtual world if it reached a certain medical standard. This is a common cognition that has been cultivated in long-term practice, which has been accustomed to the general public and is also their basic cognition. ”

"Humans are cowardly and timid creatures, they have a bad life in this life, and they look forward to the next life. They believe that the next life will be more satisfying, and this is what makes many religions attractive. ”

"Our virtual world technology is similar."

As a result, some people have played their own tricks, they have given up their longevity plans, and they have just done nothing to live their lives, in order to enter the virtual world as soon as possible. In our time, they are called 'outcasts,' or simply 'sunken'. ”

"I believe that in your time there are still such people, and there are quite a few of them."

At this time, everyone was staring intently at the screen, and their breathing seemed to be stagnant.

Zhang Yuan is right, in this era, such a population is indeed much more than in the past.

"However, we human beings, is the purpose of life to finally enter the virtual world? Absolutely not, it's just the 'civilization of the sunkers' that we despise. So we have to set a greater goal and reject the temptation of the virtual world. ”

"In the distant past, there have been many legislators who have proposed to relax the standards. Some of the options are tempting, such as taking a long vacation in the virtual world. ”

"Or stuff the population into the virtual world, abandon the body, pack it away, and then don't have to endure the aging of the population...... Sounds wonderful. ”

"But these proposals were judged very harshly and rejected by us."

"If you can change a little bit today, you can change a little bit tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, if you change a little more, the principle will no longer be a principle."

"The long river of time can infinitely magnify any butterfly effect, so that in the distant future, a huge storm that is difficult for us to resist will be formed, and it is impossible for a single great man to stop this storm! The only thing we can do is stop this storm from forming at the source. ”

"Therefore, this standard is a matter of principle, a matter of principle in the face of the long-term practice of black technology, and it should not be simply changed!"

Zhang Yuan said word by word: "Even if you are living a very difficult life now, you must stick to your principles!" ”

Everyone present had a bitter face, and then sighed one after another, this one, they have done so far.

There have been proposals for this......

However, at the meeting, it was not adopted.

Loading a large number of people into the virtual world, abandoning the body, and packing it away sounds simple and easy, and it solves the population problem and the problem of insufficient transportation in the future.

Actually? It's to cover up a small trouble with a big one.

This is easy to understand, first of all, an ethical question: are these people who enter the virtual world, are they dead, or are they alive?

Many people believe that these people are still alive, so when they arrive at their destination, they are released again, and they have to start re-hatching from the fertilized egg, which is equivalent to changing to a younger body.

However, to regain youth in the real world should be the right of the elite after passing the assessment of the transcendental.

Why do ordinary people have it?

Some people say that special circumstances should be treated specially, these people have struggled for so long, and it is nothing to regain their youth, and the extra life span is just a special case.

But in reality, no one can guarantee that the so-called "exception" will only be that once.

When the population returns to youth, accounting for half or even the majority of the total population, society will change. What will they think when they grow old again? Will they continue to ask for exceptions and regain their youth?

Do they fit the ideology of the transcendental?

How strong will this political force be, and what will be the negative impact?

This is also known as using the big troubles in the future to cover up the small troubles in front of you, which is an unwise choice. People are getting through this now, and the future is going to be in trouble.

The same is true of the policy of using virtual worlds for long-term vacations, because it is difficult to strike a balance. Now the annual quota for each adult is 15 days, and once it is opened to 30 days, 40 days, the sense of happiness has indeed improved, but who knows what kind of trouble will come later?

Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time in the video and said: "On the other hand, the plan of rapid iteration of the population is contrary to our future plan for immortality. ”

"We humans must adapt to a longer and longer life cycle in order to better adapt to this universe, instead of suffering a little setback or misfortune and hiding in the virtual world to start a new life."

"The reason why the average life expectancy of human beings is controlled at 500 years old is because the current ideology of human society is not yet able to adapt to the higher and higher life expectancy. The institution of marriage is almost abandoned, but we have not yet found a more stable social system. ”

"In fact, according to the current level of science and technology, this average life expectancy can be increased a little more, I believe you also know."

"Introducing the population into the virtual world in advance is equivalent to greatly shortening the average life expectancy of human beings, which is tantamount to abandoning the 'longevity cultivation plan' and picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons......"

"Everyone wants to enter the virtual world in advance to enjoy, how should it develop later? What if it becomes a fourth-level civilization? What can a fourth-level civilization with a lifespan of 500 years do? ”

"Everyone generally works for one or two hundred years and then goes to the virtual world, once the social trend is formed, the habit is formed, how should this kind of thinking be reversed in the future? It's hard, it's hard, so don't open this opening. ”

Zhang Yuan spread out his hands and said with a smile: "So, future friends, in order to deal with the future crisis, since we can't directly load the aging population into the virtual world, and we can't quickly iterate the population, what should we do?" There is only one other way: let those who want to leave leave. ”
