Qiao Yiyu glanced at the two of them, and stopped talking, but after thinking about it, he still said to Su Pei, "Can we talk alone?" ”

Su Pei was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect Qiao Yiyu to say this to him at this time, but finally didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the door, he and Qiao Yiyu have never been friends, Qiao Yiyu will let him hibernate, it is completely for Han Le's sake.

Han Le felt a thrill in his heart, because of the huge psychological fluctuation just now, he had almost forgotten his previous dislike for Su Pei, but it was obvious that Qiao Yiyu had not forgotten - it stands to reason that the two of them have been separated from him for half a century, but Qiao Yiyu has always maintained a proper relationship with each other.

"Do you think I'm a little unkind?"

Han Le shook his head: "You didn't do anything wrong...... But I think ...... There's no need to be so careful, it's been so long. ”

"Indeed, from my point of view, I haven't seen him for fifty or sixty years, if it weren't for you today, maybe I wouldn't have remembered his name," Qiao Yiyu turned his cup lightly when he spoke, "But in my time, I believe in such a saying, in an era of moral disproportionality, the best way to deal with interpersonal relationships is how other people treat me, how I treat other people, there is a famous moral survival strategy in game theory, called one report and one report, have you heard of it?" ”

Han Le nodded, one report and one report means that in the process of communication, how others treat themselves accordingly, they will treat them accordingly, and those who can cooperate will inevitably retaliate if they deceive themselves.

"It may be hard for me to believe it myself, but in the last ten years, I have used this theoretical morality to determine my behavior, and it can be said that it works well."

Han Le looked at Qiao Yiyu in front of her, a little speechless - the meaning of her words was already very clear, if it weren't for the fact that her original moral system was not applicable in this environment, and she had experienced too many failures, there was no need to find another set of rules of conduct for herself.

"Let's talk about hibernation." Qiao Yiyu sensed that Han Le seemed to want to say something, waved his hand, and continued indifferently.

"How to safely freeze a person and ensure that normal physiological activities can be resumed after thawing has always been a medical problem," Qiao Yiyu sat down and directly found a development process of hibernation technology from the Internet, while explaining, "But it was not the unexpected institutions that tried to solve this problem in the first place...... It was a well-known meat processing company in China - when they found that pork after long-term freezing will have a great impact on the taste, because the structure of muscle cells will inevitably be destroyed during the process of freezing and thawing, they tried to develop an antifreeze to make long-frozen meat products can have the same taste as fresh meat.

It's a stuff in the history of science – and as I think you guessed – their antifreeze is pretty effective on pork, because the process leaves an irremovable residue in the food that doesn't pass the normal food inspection process.

But then, by chance - at that time, the developer of this antifreeze was terminally ill, and injected a large amount of this antifreeze into his blood, trying to escape the doom of death - he failed to do so, and more than a month later, his body was found, when he made a homemade freezer in his home, which is not much different from the freezer you use for hibernation, and when the autopsy personnel analyzed the cause of his death, they found that he did not die because of low temperature frostbite and irreversible destruction of tissues. The cause of his death was simply because of the blood toxicity caused by an overdose of antifreeze, and he was equivalent to being poisoned.

The medical examiner in charge of the autopsy immediately realized the importance of this discovery, and he informed a classmate of his doctors, who was a doctor, and together they rented a laboratory, improved the antifreeze, reduced its toxicity, and conducted many animal experiments to finally determine the appropriate dose. ”

Qiao Yiyu paused slightly: "In the same year that this result was published, I also joined this organization called Polar Bear, and I joined it purely out of interest - because I knew the importance of hibernation in history, and in our history books, the importance of the hibernation organization of polar bears is simply the same My party is also famous, but after entering, I found that this organization was just a very idle organization at that time, a group of rich people had nothing to do, whimsical, and wanted to rely on hibernation technology to gain immortality, when I joined, because hibernation technology had been realized, the organization had almost existed in name only. ”

Hearing this, Han Le was a little sensitive: "Wait a minute...... You don't mean to say that you're the one who made this organization great in your history, do you? ”

"I remember I said that the theory of time is more inclined to the theory of parallel space," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "I haven't found the person who carried forward the polar bear in history, it's the same as throwing you to England in 1662, you went to Cambridge University and found that there was no student named Newton here, and this is not a butterfly effect - we just live in two universes, you can understand it this way, but they overlap a lot in time." ”

"And then?"

"Later...... I'm going to make a suggestion, and that's what you're seeing now, the prototype of the company's business, which is to expand the functions of the organization and turn it into an organization that provides services to its members during their hibernation, including legal representation, property supervision, and deciding when they wake up...... These concepts are not exposed to them, because at that time, people have not yet realized the essence of hibernation, it is the subjective consciousness out of one era and instantly jump to another, in their minds, the so-called hibernation is more like a long-term sleep, and the vast majority of people look at hibernation from a static perspective.

At the beginning, this kind of service was limited to the organization, it was a kind of mutual care between members, at the beginning, hibernation was a medical behavior, so the relationship between members of the organization was more similar to that of patients, and they were all terminally ill patients, and this emotional factor of sympathy made the polar bear have a strong centripetal force within that period.

But later, hibernation as a medical behavior, more and more by the abuse of various hospitals, this is the same as the abuse of antibiotics is a reason, no matter what the patient's disease, the result of the treatment is to take some antibiotics first, in the fifties and sixties, a patient entered the hospital, no matter what the problem, if there is no good solution, the doctor will suggest that the other party try "hibernation" - hibernation technology matures quickly, and its risk is almost negligible compared to the risk of surgery.

And as this technology is understood by more and more people, more and more patients are beginning to tend to choose this way, and some diseases that can be solved by surgery, such as general benign tumors, patients also begin to refuse surgery, because no matter what kind of surgery, the risk always exists objectively - and hibernation technology makes patients unwilling to bear this risk, and prefer to hibernate for a few years, and wait for the hospital to have a more mature plan to solve it.

At that time, the government was not aware of the consequences of such an act, and although there was some discussion in the media, the discussion focused more on the risks of hibernation itself, and did not think about the social cost of such a large-scale epidemic - but soon everyone began to realize this, but the situation was out of control.

In 2054, hibernation technology was officially accepted by major hospitals around the world, and as a formal, reliable alternative medical treatment, more than 10 million patients hibernated in just three months, and more than 3 million of them joined the polar bear before hibernating. Although the number of hibernators at that time was large, considering that it was the short-term behavior of all terminally ill patients worldwide, everyone did not pay enough attention to this number.

But less than 2 years later, that is, in the second half of 56 years, the cumulative number of people who hibernate exceeded 700 million, and this number is still increasing. If you can't find a job, you go to hibernation and wake up with it; was dumped by his girlfriend, went to hibernation, and woke up and changed; The bank has no deposits, it doesn't matter, go to hibernation, and wake up with endless interest......

You know, the world's population in 56 years was only a little over 12 billion, which is already a very frightening number, and in those few years, hibernation quickly changed from a medical act to a social behavior that the whole people invested in - just like when opium appeared, it quickly spread to the whole society.

At the height of the situation, there were even cases where a family had a fight just because the family had a fight over food, and the next day the whole family of seven or eight people, from grandfathers to grandchildren, went to the hospital to hibernate on the grounds that they felt too depressed and wanted to change the environment - they regarded hibernation as a harmless way to escape, just like many people are in a bad mood and go out to travel and relax. ”

Han Le was dumbfounded when he heard this, he had never thought that hibernation, which has always been a very common element in science fiction elements, would have such a big side effect - but if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the reason why everyone lived like this before was not because they were willing to do this, but because they had no choice, and now hibernation gives them this choice, subconsciously escaping the present, and wanting to chase a better life is simply certain!

"Then the government doesn't care?"

"Many governments want to manage, especially in Europe and the United States, and they realized the problem before we did...... But ......," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "let me give you an example, in 59 years, at that time, the whole world has realized that the problem of hibernation must be curbed, because it is frantically devouring social vitality." At that time, the state of New York tried to pass a law to strictly limit the number of hibernation places, except for those suffering from several diseases specifically specified in the law, and to a certain degree of severity, no one is allowed to hibernate, and those who have hibernated but do not meet the conditions must also be forced to wake up after the law is passed.

At that time, the governor of New York only mentioned this idea in a public speech, and before he could formally propose it, a month later, the polar bears used the power of their members to wake up a group of people to protest on a large scale, and the scale of that protest can be said to exceed any protest in the history of the United States, and in a very short period of time, it had a great impact, and quickly spread to the whole country, and even the world—there was also a famous empty debate between the pros and cons at that time. The pro-hibernation side concluded the debate with one of the most important and crucial questions: 'Hibernation is our own decision, the right decision to be made in a state of reason, by our own thinking, and we have not harmed anyone, including ourselves, what right do you have to do so?' What right to stop us from hibernating! ’

The naysayers had little to say but to play the emotional card: 'We just want you to be able to return to our lives instead of lying like corpses in freezers at minus a few tens of degrees Celsius.' ’

That's wishful thinking, and we're not obligated to accompany you. The answer from the hibernating camp was very heartless.

As a result, because of the unusually strong opposition, instead of passing laws restricting hibernation, the president was pressured to pledge to voters to resolutely defend the freedoms of the American people......"

"In a democratic society, a bottom-up government has no power to stop hibernation, especially after it has become so popular...... Hibernation is not the same as drugs, the consequences of drugs can be seen in just a few years, turning a normal person into a slave to desires, and this fear is enough to prompt any normal country to stop this change. But hibernation is different, when the hibernator wakes up, there is almost no difference from the original, and it can largely exempt people from the pain of death - this kind of pain has been a heavy topic that almost everyone had to face in previous history, but now, it is so easily solved - at that time, nuclear fusion power generation technology was quite mature, energy was almost free, and everyone believed that they could continue to hibernate as long as they wanted until human medical technology cracked the genetic code. Let everyone have eternal life! ”

"That'...... What about us? I don't know why, Han Le asked a little cautiously.

"Although China has done this later than abroad, it is very effective," maybe it was too much, a little tired, Qiao Yiyu sat back on the sofa, half-lying and looking out the window, "In 61, the law of restricting hibernation was passed, and it was determined that only fixed hospitals can hibernate and only doctors can hibernate after they are completely sure of the necessity of hibernation." But for those who have already hibernated, the government has not taken measures. After the implementation of this law, there was a great backlash, and the opposition came mainly from two sides - on the one hand, they wanted to hibernate and on the other hand, they firmly opposed any form of hibernation. ”

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to hibernate?"

"Yes, and a lot," Ms. Qiao said, "and since the hibernation restriction law was put into effect, the government has consciously carried out anti-hibernation propaganda, and at the beginning, people didn't believe it." But later, as the first group of short-term hibernators woke up, the problem of hibernation began to be taken seriously - these hibernators found that the short-term future was not as rosy as they imagined, but on the contrary, the problems in society were even more serious.

For example, the problem of unemployment, the problem of unemployment rate has been a worldwide problem since nuclear fusion technology, and industrial robots have begun to gradually replace more and more jobs, but at the beginning of the 21st century, the "highly developed service industry" that people imagined to solve the employment problem did not appear. Originally, there were scholars who thought that people without jobs hibernate to reduce the unemployed population, and those who have jobs go to hibernation, so they give job opportunities to others, and also increase the employment rate - but soon everyone found out that this is unrealistic, the reality is that people with the ability to work hibernate to escape labor, but it is difficult for enterprises to find qualified workers in a short time, and even a few years, maybe just a few months later, even the entrepreneurs themselves go to hibernation, and before hibernation, He will inevitably exchange his business for cash or other forms of wealth in case he needs it after hibernation.

In this way, a large amount of social wealth, along with its owners, ceased to flow, and all over the world, cash increased substantially, but investment production became smaller, the interest pressure on banks increased, and the interest rate on deposits continued to fall, even to a negative ...... Economists don't even care if this situation is called an economic crisis, but an economic hibernation!

The vast majority of these lost awakens want to hibernate again to escape the misery of reality, but are told that there is now a way to limit hibernation, while a small number of people have begun to firmly oppose hibernation and advocate a return to the old track of life...... All over the world, many countries have even been torn apart by different understandings of this issue, and some countries have had small-scale conflicts and wars over such issues...... In short, in addition to the various contradictions that existed in human beings, such as national* contradictions, religious contradictions, national contradictions, etc., there is now one more, the contradiction of hibernation, which includes the contradiction between the hibernator and the awakened, and the contradiction between the awakened and the contradictory between those who support hibernation and oppose hibernation, in short......"

Speaking of which, Qiao Yiyu seemed to be a little messy, she thought about it for a long time, and she didn't think of an accurate word to define this state, so she could only give up helplessly, and finally spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders. Shaking his head, he said, "It's a mess!" ”
