6 Good and bad
The low temperature of hibernation brought obvious discomfort in the process of awakening consciousness, when the consciousness gradually woke up and realized the environment in which he was located, I don't know why, Qiao Yiyu immediately remembered what he had seen in the museum, the hibernation cabinet used by the "ancients", as a key technology that occupies the most important position in human history, no matter what kind of historiography, hibernation is always an unavoidable problem - the changes that hibernation has brought to human civilization, the significance ......
Now, I am living in such a history...... Although she has lived in this history for a longer period of time than all her life before coming, Qiao Yiyu will inevitably feel an incredible wonder - intellectually she knows very well that what she is experiencing now is not what "really" happened in her history, this is just a parallel world, but her senses always prompt her to imagine that all this has been experienced and repeated again......
In Qiao Yiyu's time, in addition to astronauts, few people would choose hibernation, because historical experience has told them that hibernation is useless, and the improvement of genetic technology has completely solved the most fundamental foundation of hibernation. Even those who don't want to live are most of them ending their lives by committing suicide, rather than letting themselves be stored in a hibernation cabinet for thousands of years like a piece of frozen meat, and finally excavated as a cultural relicβin the era of Qiao Yiyu, many representatives of the highest technology in the hibernation era were dug up, some miniature nuclear-powered hibernation cabinet groups! The people inside are even alive! At that time, hibernation was viewed as a moral disqualification and a depravity of behavior in the same way that alcohol was viewed at the beginning of the 21st century.
But everything has to be seen in the context in which it was produced, and it is also alcoholism, and if it is the ancient people who brewed alcohol for the first time, then it does not count as much as they drank, just like those who used opium for the first time to cure their diseases - they are just ignorant. Similarly, it is also hibernation, and it is not a big fault for people in the 21st century who have tasted the sweetness of hibernation for the first time, but this standard has caused some trouble for Qiao Yiyu - what kind of moral standard should she apply?
Qiao Yiyu is actually still a little guilty now, her reason for participating in hibernation is not sufficient, not so much forced by the actual situation, but rather pushing the boat with curiosity - just like eager to try the first puff of drugs. After decades of living on Earth, even she began to feel that time was becoming more and more unbearable. She has to face not a few years or a dozen years, but hundreds or even thousands of years...... Even in Qiao Yiyu's time, no adult had such confidence that he could guarantee that he would survive this time - even if there was an artificial immune system to help regulate it later. The more people grow, the more difficult it is to endure the blandness of life, not the blandness of the content of life, but the blandness of the meaning of life itself - why live, this sounds very literary and simple, and for many people it doesn't even exist at all, Qiao Yiyu didn't think that she would be bothered by this problem in a few hundred years (when she was too young) before she came, and this is only sixty years.
For ancient people, life was simple, aging set an end to their lives, the difference in life was only in the difference in experience, and in the end it was all fair - dust to dust, dust to dust. But the development of medical technology has made this end point canceled, and life has become a journey with no end in sight...... Just like a marathon, at the beginning of the physical strength, there may be passion and motivation, but later it is only a responsibility to continue by will......
Cranky thinking is the best natural way to wake up, the adjustment of the artificial immune system has greatly shortened Qiao Yiyu's discomfort time, just a few minutes, she felt that she had returned to her normal state, and after reaching out to confirm her identity information, the door opened.
Han Le was sitting on the row of benches at the door, and he just raised his head at the same time as the door opened. In a short period of staring, Qiao Yiyu sensitively realized that this sitting young man was still the Han Le in his impression, an introverted, confused, and unconfident ordinary person. If in her own time, Qiao Yiyu would feel that such a person needs some auxiliary psychological correction treatment, but considering this, in a sense, Qiao Yiyu feels that this state is the most reasonable - for her, according to the current level of human civilization, any self-confidence and pride are ridiculous, even inexplicable.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he was able to become the only and only friend he could trust in this era.
Qiao Yiyu showed a very shallow smile: "Are you okay?" β
"It's fine." When Han Le stood up, he found that he could barely control himself, Qiao Yiyu stretched out a hand as if he wanted to shake his hand, but he crossed over directly and gave her a hug with a rare initiative.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yiyu was a little strange, but didn't resist, just asked him.
Han Le didn't speak, he had heard a sentence before, which probably meant that a woman's embrace was always the best harbor for a man, and now he really felt the same way. Although Qiao Yiyu's clothes still had Xiaoice chips formed during hibernation (formed by the human body slowly breathing and expelling water vapor during hibernation), Han Le still felt an unprecedented warmth.
When he finally let go, Han Le began to be a little shy, hanging his head and not speaking. Qiao Yiyu casually chatted with him about some news of this era, and then came to the room that Han Le had just opened.
"How long are you going to wake up?"
After turning on the computer, Qiao Yiyu asked.
"I was going to do it for a month, but I've heard about ...... before," Han Le said about the topics he had participated in the meeting and talked to Amy, and according to his guess, as the conflict of interest between hibernators and non-hibernators became more acute, a large-scale awakening event might be in the near future...... Maybe the future isn't as rosy as they think.
"It's not possible, it should definitely happen, and we have mentioned similar events in our history," Qiao Yiyu said, "but for the entire hibernation application technology, this can be regarded as a small storm......
"So you mean, there's a big storm?"
Qiao Yiyu nodded: "Of course there will be, but it's still far from us." β
"How far?" Han Le asked.
"What, you want to go and see?"
Han Le hesitated, as he said to Amy, he did have some curiosity about disasters, just like people living in peacetime always have a romantic feeling about war, but he was not sure how big the "big storm" Qiao Yiyu said, it was at the level of World War II? The Matrix? Or Resident Evil-level ...... If he went purely to watch the excitement, he would dare to see it even if the earth was destroyed, but if the risk factors were counted, maybe Han Le might not dare to try an earthquake.
So he shook his head honestly.
Qiao Yiyu seemed to see Han Le's thoughts-to be honest, everything in the city like Han Le was written on his face, and then said: "Don't worry, since it is a big storm, if you are still there at that time, you will always have to go through it, if you can hide from it by hibernation, it will not be a big deal." β
"Because of what?" Han Le asked.
Qiao Yiyu thought for a while and said, "Strictly speaking, it's not because of anything, some things are destined to happen in history. β
Han Le was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and he asked again: "What is it, can you elaborate on it?" When the time comes, you can also be mentally prepared. β
"You really want to know?" Qiao Yiyu asked rhetorically.
Han Le remembered that he had asked similar questions before, and Qiao Yiyu also asked rhetorically, at that time, he still had a "beautiful imagination" that was almost religious about the future, and he felt that it was better for him to not know, but now he was not so confident. So he was curious to know the answer.
Qiao Yiyu said slowly, but he didn't describe it directly, but asked Han Le a question: "In your time, I have heard a lot of imagination about the future social state, some are pessimistic and some are optimistic, but they are very different from reality. The differences between the different eras make language a very pale tool of communication, as if you were to describe the beginning of the 21st century in which you lived to someone from the Middle Ages, or even more ago, what would you say? β
"The future is good because the earth has become heaven, and the future is bad because there is no God in heaven." I don't know why, Han Le remembered a very emotional sentence and blurted it out.
Qiao Yiyu was pleasantly surprised: "That's very good, in fact, what I want to tell you is about this, the future will be very good, very good, far better than you think, and it can even be said that it can exhaust the limit of human beings' definition of the word 'good'; β
"To be specific?"
Qiao Yiyu opened a web video at this time, and what was playing in it was the latest progress in medical instruments - an instrument that can read several fixed brain waves of people, that is, what the human brain thinks, the instrument can detect it, and display the corresponding font.
"Okay, just give an example, for example, the extension of this technology in the future, which has been mentioned in many movies, intelligence, the intelligence of computers, programs, machines, if needed, as long as there is a thought in the mind, what you think will become reality, in Marx's words, this is called consciousness reaction matter."
"The man himself became a god." What Qiao Yiyu said is not difficult to understand, and it is not surprising, but she will say that Marx still made Han Le laugh.
"What about the bad ones?"
"Bad, look at this." Qiao Yiyu immediately cut to another web page, which looked like it should be a paper with the title "On the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence", and the author is a Canadian named Kevin Wright, or KL for short.
