014 My Future

"It's good that the bearded man is not Emma, otherwise I would have to be a slave with me......" After understanding the history and present day of the New Eden world, Hong Tao couldn't help but feel a chill down his back. Luck, a lot of the time you have to rely on luck, a little deviation, is the difference between heaven and hell.

Generally speaking, the general environment is quite stable, since the drone war, the three countries have maintained peace for more than 100 years, and there are no too deep contradictions, it seems that there will be no major accidents, and there will be no more fights in a short time.

Not fighting is the biggest good news, the Three Kingdoms period on the earth was too cruel, the population of 50 or 60 million was less than 10 million, and an average of five or six people had to die. Even if Hong Tao can flicker again, he can't withstand such a high mortality rate, and he will have to hang up one day if he can't keep it.

But the world of New Eden is not as calm as water, and the absence of war between the three kingdoms does not mean that they can live and work in peace. Because there are still a few relatively large forces outside the Three Kingdoms, they can't be called serious countries, but it's also delusional to want to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

These forces cannot be distinguished from good and bad, each has its own causes, and can only be defined by its relationship with the government. First of all, the forces that have a close relationship with the governments of various countries, the largest and most powerful are of course the Ministry of Integration.

The next one is very surprising, and it is actually a clone pilot. Although these pilots are all from the three sovereign countries, except for some of them recruited by the armies of various countries, most of them are more advocating freedom, yearning for the stars and the sea, and are reluctant to fight around, and want to drive spaceships to explore the wider starry sky.

But reality is always more skinny than ideal, and in order to maintain the high cost of clones and ship modifications, most clone pilots have to work for the government, corporations, and private individuals, and do some more dangerous and boring jobs. For example, mining in the asteroid belt, exploring ruins, setting up beacons in unknown star fields, and even transporting high-value goods over long distances.

If you look like that, the clone pilots don't seem to be very capable. In fact, in the event of a war, each clone pilot will immediately become an excellent source of troops for the navies of various countries, and large warships need to coordinate and cooperate, but small warships go up and go, and they don't need to be trained.

The most important thing is that these clone pilots are all immortal, it doesn't matter if the spaceship explodes, it doesn't matter if the escape pod explodes, as long as the consciousness transmission is not disturbed, and there are enough clones to spare, they can be resurrected infinitely, without losing any skills, and change the battleship to go up and continue to attack.

Because they can be resurrected indefinitely, it is difficult for clone pilots to be coerced and controlled, and they can adhere to their ideals and principles for a relatively long time. It is precisely because of these characteristics that the cloning of pilots is regarded as a valuable asset by all countries, and all attempts to harm or interfere with the cloned pilots are regarded as felonies and are strictly prohibited.

Of course, the cloned pilots must first abide by the law, and if they break the law, they must also be punished. For example, the two clone pilots who once wanted to attack Nuel, it is not surprising that they did this, in Nuel's words, he chose to voluntarily euthanize himself, and when he was just resurrected from the clone, the first thing on his mind was to become an interstellar pirate.

It's just that his sanity is enough, and he didn't act recklessly in the Gao'an Star Domain, as for leaving the Gao'an Star Domain, in the airspace that the Integration Department can't monitor, it's hard to say. There are certain rules for people's thinking patterns, but clones are not ordinary people after all, Hong Tao really can't guarantee it.

There are more laws against cloned pilots than the average person, and they are constantly increasing. The strictness of the restrictions largely indicates the high level of ability, which can be confirmed by the planning of the scientific system of the New Eden World. They divide the hierarchy of technology into three phases and define them clearly.

The definition of the first phase is applicable to both human and cloned pilots. The second stage can only be applied to cloned pilots, and there is a high probability that it will be dangerous for ordinary humans to use it.

The third stage is unusable by both humans and clone pilots, and is called Ancient Technology, which can only be used after being improved. For example, drones and brain scanners, consciousness transmission systems, and clone pilot escape pods are all derived from such technologies.

The first type of technology can only maintain the normal life of human beings, if you want to continue to develop the star field, you have to rely on the second type of technology, if you want to have a better future, you must step up the development of the third type of technology.

Although the bearded Nuel is an archaeologist, or half an explorer, his field of study is actually a third-class technology. At this time, archaeology is no longer the same concept as archaeology on earth, earth archaeology can only trace the past of mankind, but interstellar archaeology can guide the future of mankind.

Archaeology is no longer just a science in New Eden, it's a promising and lucrative industry, with great enthusiasm for it from the national level to the corporate and private sectors, and without a good return, no one would have spent the money.

There are many specific examples, covering almost every scientific leap in the New Eden world. From stargates to jump engines, from drones to brain scanners, from music headphones to neural synergists, and even addictive drugs, all through reverse research and development of ancient ruins.

As long as a little bit of similar things can be found, no matter the country, enterprises or individuals will suddenly get rich, fame and fortune, and it is not impossible to establish their own scientific research and business empires, in fact, many large enterprises are based on these scientific and technological inventions.

Speaking of which, there should be a lot of people engaged in the archaeological exploration industry, right? On the contrary, apart from the state and big business, very few people really make a living in this industry.

The reason is simple, don't look at the fact that you can make a lot of money, this work is still very dangerous. The vast majority of ancient ruins are located outside the borders of various countries, which means that without the protection of the national navy and the fleet of the United Nations, they are very vulnerable to attacks by pirates, local forces, and even peers, and the result is likely to be shipwrecked and killed.

So this job is basically a clone pilot, after all, they can ensure the coherence of consciousness, which is very effective for accumulating experience, and they don't have to start from scratch every time they go.

But it doesn't mean that clone pilots can just explore ancient ruins, their consciousness can be preserved, but they have to pay a large transfer fee, and at the same time, they have to buy clones for backup. If you're unlucky and you die a few times without reaping anything, the money from resurrection and buying a new ship alone can bankrupt them.

From the moment he obtained his new identity, Hong Tao began to think about his future path. After the basic memory template was injected, he finally found a job that suited him best, a professional archaeologist!

Why do you say you're suitable for this job? If you analyze it carefully, Hong Tao does have a part of the memory more than all the New Edenians. Although this part of the memory may be more than 20,000 years ago and may not have any effect on the current development of high technology, it is at the expert level in some aspects, such as archaeology!

If a person in the Han Dynasty traveled through time and space to the 21st century, happened to not be discovered his true identity, and quickly integrated into the society at that time, then who else knows everything about ancient times better than him?

In front of him, many accomplished archaeologists have to kneel as long as they involve knowledge before the Han Dynasty. What's more, Hong Tao is still a time-space stringer who has traveled through many eras, even if none of them are specialized, he can't stand being well-informed.

"Mastermind, I'm feeling better, is Mr. Noel there?" But there are a few key questions that Hong Tao can't find a clear answer in his memory, and it's time to have a good chat with Nuel.

"Aite, you're finally recovering, I'm buying fuel for the spaceship, if you're not in a hurry, let's talk when you get home, I'll be home in about two days."

In less than ten seconds, Noel's bearded face appeared in front of him. Holographic projection technology is really easy to use and too scary. If you are not mentally prepared, and suddenly map Nuel's face in the middle of the night to the eyes of some earthling, the chance of death is estimated to reach 30%, and the standard murder does not require a knife and does not stay for a thousand miles!

In addition, Hong Tao has a question, what kind of means of communication can catch up with the faster-than-light spacecraft? Conventional radio waves are certainly not working, they are at most the speed of light.
