Chapter 804: Social Division
The vice-captain's concerns are not unreasonable, the appeal to power is a compound thinking, and as long as there is a core goal, such a direction will be generated. It is not possible to remove this kind of thinking entirely by technical means. If it is deleted, it is equivalent to a part of the core concept being abandoned, and the entire project of NT New Humanity is also declared bankrupt.
The co-captain continued, "The traditional human groups, especially some of the more stubborn human groups, may feel that this kind of life is not bad, and it is impossible for them to be willing to give power to the NT new humans, because it will affect security. ”
"Change is always difficult, and change will inevitably touch the interests of some people."
"As long as they have any bit of power, the more intelligent NT new humans, that is, the superhuman group, will inevitably slowly control more power in the future time, whether it is intrigue or intelligence, it is impossible for traditional humans to fight against it."
"So with more power in their hands, how should traditional humans behave themselves?"
In the face of this sharp question, there was a buzz of discussion in the room, and everyone focused their attention on Zhang Yuan, expecting the first transhuman to have some opinion of his own.
Zhang Yuan grinned and replied, "This question was within what I had expected...... I've thought about it too. ”
This sentence immediately stopped everyone in the room from discussing.
"For now, the NT New Humans are still in the experimental stage, and there is no such need for power."
"In the future, will there be a contradiction in this regard, in fact, the vice captain is very right in his analysis, the old human race cannot prevent the progress of the new human race, otherwise there will inevitably be a fundamental conflict between the two sides."
"Of course, as far as I'm concerned, it's possible to tolerate the existence of traditional humans, that is, those who refuse to be transformed."
"There are several levels of thinking, the first is that there is no fundamental contradiction of interests between the two sides. With the current enormous production capacity, there is nothing wrong with making a copy of the means of production. At worst, it's just a split of civilizations, where everyone goes their own way and never intersects again. ”
"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. I believe that the vast majority of the old human beings still admired progress. The current fear is only unknown, and as long as the relevant information is gradually made public in the future, the fear will gradually decrease. ”
"The second is that NT new humans seem to have lost the ability to reproduce. Since the concept of race has been diluted, in fact, the rest of the species can be selected and transformed into our civilization, as long as the concept is the same, it can be considered the same civilization. ”
"But the dilution of the concept of race is not going away, I still hope that there will be more human beings who are willing to accept this transformation and bring greater progress to our civilization. Picking aliens is a poor choice. ”
"And the third point is that the transfer of power may happen naturally, and as the number of reformers gradually increases and exerts more and more social influence, the transfer of power is likely to be spontaneous...... There may be twists and turns in between, but according to calculations, the setbacks of this power shift in our society will not be too great. ”
"Our civilization should complete most of the transformation within one or two hundred years. Those are some of my observations. ”
Zhang Yuan's words made many people's hearts heavy, and they didn't know how to describe the feeling that in the not-so-distant future, the political rights of mankind would be handed over to a new species......
Even according to the predictions of sociologists, such a transfer of power is a high-probability event.
According to the current trend, there is a high probability that the new NT humans will replace the old humans.
Faced with this problem, the number of people who support and oppose is almost half and half, and there are some supporters who themselves want to become NT new humans, and naturally hope for a change of power.
The opponents, on the other hand, do not want to, and cannot name a particularly good reason, which can only be attributed to nationalism and purely human political correctness. When it comes to the issue of position, it is the public who says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and no one can convince the other party.
"Is it true that in the future, civilizations will be divided and two civilizations, the old human race and the new human race?" Captain Feng sighed, she didn't know what to say, she just held her head in her hands.
"So what did we create a stronger species for? Just to split? ”
An expert in charge of security control said righteously: "It doesn't seem to make much sense to split the old human civilization, because the NT new human race is too strong, this kind of strength is all-round, as long as a hundred years, no, ten years, the two sides can open a huge gap." Unless we restrict all the rights of the new NT humans, so that they don't have any resources to develop in the first place......"
Ichiro Yamamoto stood up and expressed strong opposition: "The ability of our human beings can only complete the plan of NT New Humans, and we no longer have the ability to move on to the next step." With enough resources and power, transhumans are able to iterate on their own. Are we really going to limit their resources and stop their progress? ”
"Fellow citizens, we are even willing to help hemispheric civilization and realize their dreams, but now we want to stop our own progress?"
"Stupid!"
There are also many experts who do not want to use transhumans as tools who only know how to work. I really don't want to, but I can also coexist peacefully.
Zhang Yuan listened on the side, and he sighed slightly in his heart. Based on what he knew about these people, humanity would continue to move forward despite hesitation. As long as this project is successful enough, more and more people will transform themselves into transhumans.
Li Zhendong also shook his head and spit out a few words: "I really don't understand, what are you worried about...... What's the point of this evolutionary experiment if all superhuman permissions were restricted in the first place? Let's always be a fourth-level civilization. ”
He was dismissive of all sorts of claims.
"That's an expected risk, right? We were able to predict before the experiment, so what's the point of analyzing it for half a day now? Isn't it over if everyone has changed everything, where is there so much trouble? ”
"Even if a small number of people are unwilling to modify, as long as it does not hinder progress, NT New Humanity can accommodate their existence, I don't understand what you are worried about!"
It's just a pity that the complexity of human society is not as simple as he imagined. Many of these ideas are completely unclear.
After a long day of discussion, no particularly good solution was demonstrated.
Either way, the experiment will continue, and the sample will still have to be expanded. After the conference, a total of 500 experts from various industries were selected and are expected to transform into transhuman beings in the next five years.
Year after year passed......
Five years later, due to the success of the project, the Scientific Council expanded the experimental sample again.
In the 7th year, the number of experimenters exceeded 1,000!
In the 10th year, the number of experimenters reached 1,500, and basically all the reformers were great scientists.
And the research capacity of this 1,500 people is already equivalent to one-thirtieth of a new human civilization!
That's pretty terrifying, it's only fifteen hundred! If it is enlarged in equal proportions, 45,000 meters of superhuman beings is equivalent to the research capacity of the entire new human race, and this is worth it?
At this time, due to the increase in the number of experimenters, all-round secrecy began to become more difficult. Various gossip has also slowly emerged at the civil level, and public opinion in this regard has naturally emerged.
It's just that the separatism among the people is even worse than that of the human high-level, and the new human high-level can still calm down and discuss it, and the non-governmental people will soon evolve into a war of scolding.
The debate is chaotic, and everyone has their own opinions and opinions.
At the online level, radicals and conservatives are in a fierce rivalry.
"They are betraying humanity in this experiment! Why do you say that human beings have no potential, and turn themselves into another species! According to this reasoning, wouldn't it be the end of the matter if we directly joined the Alev civilization?! What's the difference? ”
A fiery post appeared on social media and generated widespread discussion.
"Down with the anti-human regime! Maintain the power of pure humanity! ”
"This is an act of adultery!"
Soon a group of trolls squirted back, "What about Nima, can you represent humans?" What does it have to do with you if I transform myself? ”
"Unenterprising garbage!"
"Why can you represent humanity and we can't? We demand transformation, we demand evolution! ”
