On this day, Zhang Yuan reopened his eyes.

He has been locked up in the virtual world for 18 years, working diligently every day, and he doesn't have too many boring emotions! Because the simulated environment of the human virtual world is powerful enough, there is new research content every day, and there are new things to come into contact with; On the other hand, this kind of non-boredom is also the result of thinking transformation.

"In fact, staying in the virtual space for a long time, and only a few people I come into contact with, is not much different from going to prison."

"But it's also nice to be back in reality."

Everything was so fresh that he could easily see the texture on the ceiling, and even the dust floating in the air.

The electronic pupils are slightly constricted, and the microbial colonies in the dust are multiplying rapidly.

The sound in his ears instantly became noisy, and he could hear the flow of condensate in the water cooling device in the supercomputer; Footsteps on the floor are coming; There is also the airflow created when the door is pushed open......

This kind of perception ability is too strong and too strong, and the huge amount of information is indeed not comparable to ordinary human beings.

"Professor Zhang, welcome back! Your previous account, we have returned your permissions. ”

It was one of his former students, who now eighteen years later, had become a well-known researcher at Unreal Labs.

"Thank you so much." Zhang Yuan said.

Because the speed of information exchange such as dialogue is so slow, Zhang Yuan has to divide his thinking into two parts: one is used to think about various problems, accounting for more than 99% of the calculation volume, and the other is used to deal with all aspects of life.

"There must be a lot of division in society, right? I heard that protest marches occasionally break out? Zhang Yuan asked, still familiar with his body.

This biomimetic body is similar to his original appearance, but the inside is completely different. He doesn't have a heartbeat, he doesn't need to eat, and even his neuronal brain has been replaced with a high-performance carbon-based biobrain.

This body can theoretically easily withstand an acceleration of 500g, that is, under the earth's gravity, 5 tons of matter can be squeezed, and it can also survive in a vacuum environment. If not limited to safety regulations, even anti-gravity materials can be installed.

"yes. Some people have a lot of opposition, and some people are very supportive! We're definitely on the side! The researcher sighed: "So far, the contradiction in this regard has not been resolved...... If it weren't for the current deep blue thinking in our society, it might have been a mess a long time ago. ”

"This is also a thing that can't be helped, I hope this time it can be better accepted by the masses."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, although he had been working diligently for eighteen years and did not have access to the Internet, he could still vaguely guess something......

The positions of the two sides are irreconcilable contradictions, and those who have this idea are eager to become NT new humans, and those who can't figure it out may never be able to figure it out.

Of course, by now, the support for becoming transhuman is higher, so they will be re-admitted. Because most people still hope that human beings can become a fifth-level civilization, people also know how difficult this path is......

Without change, there is no chance.

"The main purpose of your return to reality is to dispel the suspicions of those people and make them accept that this is an evolution, not a betrayal."

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Is this considered the tyranny of the majority over the minority?" That's a problem. ”

Walking out of the door of the laboratory, Zhang Yuan saw a familiar figure, already waiting eagerly.

"Welcome home!" Lin Xuanxuan said with a smile, and wiped her eyes vigorously.

"Let's go, let's go home." Zhang Yuan took her hand and said with a smile.

The concept of love is no longer very important to Zhang Yuan. Because the superhuman group does not need to reproduce, and the concept of love is actually derived from reproduction, in order to omit some troubles, the new human civilization with insufficient technical strength can only temporarily delete these contents.

Of course, in order to reduce the unknown defects caused by the missing thinking module, the family and friendship are preserved as much as possible. The two have been together for so long, and the feelings they have are mostly family affection, and the so-called love is not based on impulse, but on habits that have been cultivated for a long time. So the communication is pretty much the same as before.

"So, after the acceleration of thinking, the day you feel now is equivalent to our two hundred days? Isn't the eighteen years you have spent in the virtual world equivalent to more than 3,000 years? Lin Xuanxuan asked with a little curiosity: "Three thousand years in prison?!" ”

When she saw Zhang Yuan again, she looked very happy, her face was flushed, and it was a little incredible.

After a few simple conversations, she didn't think that the other party had changed much.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "You can think so, but there are some minor differences." If it was in the past, it might seem like a very long time ratio and I don't know what to do, but not now, because there is so much to study. We're missing a lot in the tech tree. ”

"Discovering new knowledge is a constant source of fun...... Even if it's just a little bit of knowledge, it's good. ”

Lin Xuanxuan said: "This should be because of the increased curiosity, right? ”

"Yes, and the focus and patience have increased a lot." Zhang Yuan explained: "Human beings themselves are a species that relies on curiosity to provide entertainment, playing games is to discover new things, and gossip news is also trying to discover new things...... If it's all the same content, even the most fun games will get boring. ”

"Now we've stepped it up a little bit and made some small changes. This change is still being tested, and the results are pretty good so far. ”

As he walked on the glass plank road, Zhang Yuan found that many people were paying attention to them, as the first batch of superhumans to restore their citizenship, some people were envious of it, and some were extremely angry about it.

Zhang Yuan easily observed the fragmentation of society. Fortunately, however, the vast majority of people still have an optimistic and neutral attitude, and are not willing to take sides easily.

They are now desperate to know what has changed before and after the transformation of humanity.

A reporter squeezed in front of him and shouted with an open voice, "Professor Zhang! Professor Zhang! Can you give us an interview? ”

Zhang Yuan paused for a moment, and then looked at the curious crowd of onlookers around him, "No problem, if you have any questions, you can ask them directly, you don't need to see outside!" ”

The female reporter rolled her eyes and asked a very strange question: "I heard that you, as the first superhuman, now think two hundred times faster than a normal person, and have begun to use a lot of brainwave Internet tools...... Can you demo what we're most interested in? That is, the acceleration of thinking. ”

She took out a test paper for advanced mathematics, which was the final exam question for senior students in the Department of Mathematics of Kyushu University.

This topic quickly aroused the interest of many viewers, and how much intelligence they improved was the point they were most concerned about.

"This paper shouldn't be too difficult for you, can you answer it?"
