The driverless electric car is speeding on the road, and Zhang Yuan calms down his inner emotions.

It has reached the 23rd century, which is an era that attaches great importance to IQ, but the attribute of "appearance" is still important in interpersonal communication. People who look good have certain advantages in their own development, both men and women.

Zhang Yuan feels ...... Looks pretty good. It shouldn't be narcissistic, because relatives and friends say so, and the peach blossom luck that has been pretty good since childhood also indirectly proves this.

As for the lack of a sister around him, it is because he has aspired to be an astronaut since he was a child, so he consciously suppresses the need for this.

"There are so many girls chasing me......"

There is less than a month of vacation, and in such a short time, at most, it is just a mutual attraction between hormones, and it is impossible to produce communication at the spiritual level.

Of course, it is not difficult to find a girl to complete the biological communication. If it is said in advance that it is just for fun, there will still be a large number of "modern women" who are willing to have a little story with the "astronauts", and maybe they can become a capital to brag about with their companions in the future......

In this era of openness, few people care whether their future marriage partner is a virgin or not.

However, Zhang Yuan doesn't like to make random appointments.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated a little.

He clicked on his phone, and it was a spam text message.

Since I've never been bothered to sort it out, there's a whole bunch of unread red dots on it.

[Your 4 phone contacts set you as a "crush" on [About].] Since you have not yet registered, special SMS notifications ...... Download link......】

Soft advertising, so annoying, in the 23rd century, you still can't get rid of these things.

"Forget it."

He is not a veteran of the love scene, since he can't be too ruthless, there is no need to add emotional burden to himself before leaving.

After skipping this memo, Zhang Yuan felt much more comfortable.

Unmanned cars are driving on the road without hurrying or slow, and the cars on the road are very orderly, almost all of them are moving at the same speed, and there are no barbaric behaviors such as cutting in line and adding stops.

When it comes to driving cars, artificial intelligence is much more reliable than humans, and manual driving in non-emergency situations has become an illegal action.

Zhang Yuan is not a rich second generation, and this unmanned car is not his own, it is just a shared taxi on the side of the road, anyway, it is on call, and it is no different from his own car.

A space history documentary is playing on the screen inside the car.

“…… We have walked along the way, stepping on mud and bumps, exploration and development will always be the main theme of the times......"

He watched the documentary with interest.

It has to be said that the development of modern science and technology is far slower than the imagination of human beings in the old era.

When Americans landed on the moon for the first time in 1969, many scientists were optimistic that humans would be able to colonize the moon in 2000. In 2020, humans will occupy the solar system and become a real interstellar civilization.

Human beings will find legendary aliens, collide and friction with alien civilizations, and artificial intelligence will have self-consciousness to rebel against human beings......

As a result, it's a pity.

Throughout the 21st century, nothing.

There is no brain chip, no singularity era brought about by strong artificial intelligence, and no immortal technology.

The cost of virtual imaging technology is still high; AR glasses, which tried to replace mobile phones, were popular for a while, but they were eliminated again because of inconvenience; Battery capacity can never meet demand; The invention of room-temperature superconducting materials has been delayed......

Not to mention the curvature engine, wormholes, time travel, gravity-defying and other science fiction stuff.

Under the comfortable life, human beings seem to have developed to the upper limit of the entire civilization. Advances in informatics have created the illusion that science is still thriving, paralyzing human nerves.

Unfortunately, some of the most important technologies have not been broken through.

Finally, at the end of the 21st century, the depletion of oil has created a terrible energy crisis on a global scale.

The two world wars that have occurred one after another have set human society back for a hundred years!

The entire 22nd century was bleak, and later generations called ...... "Gray Era"!

The bass in the documentary said in a magnetic voice: "Fortunately, everything survived, we explored the unknown and found a new direction......

"Controlled nuclear fusion!"

“…… With the successful ignition of the artificial sun, along with the vigorous development of the space industry, space botany and nanomaterials, human civilization has once again ushered in a golden stage! ”

"In the second half of the 23rd century, we will open an unprecedented era of interstellar colonization!"

The documentary is very burning, and it also has a little bit of exaggeration, which is indeed enough to fool some ordinary people.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled again.

It is true that nuclear fusion has brought endless energy and changed the living conditions of mankind, but it does not mean that all mankind can achieve a life of great prosperity on it.

Because oil is not only an energy source, but also an important industrial raw material.

To give a few simple examples: without fertilizers and pesticides, human food production would be cut by half.

Where do fertilizers and pesticides come from? Petroleum derivatives, of course.

Without acrylic, polyester, nylon, and vinylon, the price of clothes has risen sharply, and the vast majority of people cannot afford to buy clothes, so they have to live naked.

Where do these chemical fiber products come from? The answer is oil derivatives.

There are no petroleum derivatives such as petroleum solvents, chemical raw materials, lubricants, etc., and more than 90% of industrial plants are directly shut down.

"Oil is the lifeblood of industry", there is nothing false about this statement.

Although fusion energy is inexhaustible, there are still mining costs, power transportation costs, and power plant maintenance costs. The cost of forcibly synthesizing inorganic matter into organic matter through electricity by industrial means is still too high, far more expensive than oil extraction in the old days.

Until now, people in many small, poor countries have not had enough to eat, simply because of the lack of alternatives to oil.

Fortunately, the vigorous development of space botany is slowly curing the "oil dependence" of human beings.

Many industrial raw materials, such as polymer fibers, ethylene, benzene, methane, etc., can find alternatives from space mutant plants, which can be grown on a large scale on the ground.

It's like the president of a small country shouting: "Praise space botany, finally let us out of an existential crisis!" Praise! ”

……

An hour later, the unmanned car passed through the agricultural area, the industrial area, and entered the urban area in turn.

"Distinguished guest, you have arrived at your designated destination. The service time is 1 hour and 02 minutes, and the collection is 43 yuan......"

A soft electronic prompt sounded, and Zhang Yuan paid to get out of the car and return to his home.

"It's still comfortable at home."

He took a cold shower, then turned on his computer, logged on to the notary's website, and happily clicked on the "Property Donation" button on the page.

After thinking about it carefully, I took a picture of my family's real estate certificate.

A line of information popped up on the webpage: "No. 2236-9, Beiping Street, Donghua City, with a room area of 163.3 square meters and an estimated value of 2.865 million federal dollars." ”

Donate your house to a social welfare organization!

Zhang Yuanshen exhaled, a little reluctant, feeling that he had become a legendary god, the kind of person who pretended to reward at will......

"Donate, donate, brother is so noble!"

In fact, it's not that he has good thinking and moral character.

Zhang Yuan has no children and no children, since he has made up his mind to leave the earth, can the property on the earth still be brought to the spaceship?
