Population, capacity, artificial intelligence
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Do we have to find a way to get more industrial capacity? ”
"Otherwise, with such a huge amount of work as the 'Deep Space', it is very likely that the first 'Centennial Plan' will not be completed, and even the first five-year plan will not be completed!"
Yu Yifeng really hates that there aren't enough people.
It was really too slow and slow for so tens of thousands of people to build a spaceship slowly, and he wanted to break one person into ten ...... No, a hundred!
He said solemnly in this meeting: "The first plan cannot be completed, it will only drag down the followers, causing a series of chain reactions." So...... Only allowed to be overdone, not allowed to be overdone! ”
"So...... Think about what other ways we can dramatically increase our industrial capacity other than artificial intelligence. ”
"Also, can artificial intelligence be a technology that can really be realized?"
Due to the small population base, even if the government encourages childbearing, it is unlikely that it will increase for a while.
Even if the population can increase more than tenfold in a hundred years, it will only be about 500,000.
The number of "500,000" is still too little, not to mention that it is only 100,000 now! It takes more effort to raise so many children, and it also reduces the number of industrial populations.
Population is the big issue.
Production capacity is a big problem!
Therefore, after the production capacity of the new human civilization reaches a certain level, it will gradually stop growing, unless there is a qualitative change in science and technology or a few decades later, the population will increase significantly, and the production capacity of the entire civilization will increase again.
The crowd was silent for two or three minutes, and Wang Yufan of the Propaganda Department took the lead in speaking: "The first plan is to use cloning technology, which can greatly increase the population. At present, we have obtained artificial womb technology from the Nix civilization, which can not only print human organs, but also breed clones on a large scale......"
"We can spend more than twenty years cultivating, educating clones, and then ......"
"No way!"
Yu Yifeng immediately interrupted Wang Yufan's point of view: "I'd rather develop a little slower than affect the stability of Noah's society." It is impossible for ordinary people to accept large-scale human cloning......"
"There are a lot of ethical problems with this technology, do clones have parents, do they have relatives?"
"Genologically, yes? But no one wants to accept it, what should I do? They are also human beings, and if they lose the concept of kinship, what kind of personality defects will they have? ”
"And after this group of people is cloned, how should we, the natural people, treat them? Are they slaves, or are they treated equally? This in turn raises a series of questions......"
"Yes, Captain Yu is right, it's true."
Another lawmaker stepped forward and agreed: "According to our current social and moral system, there is basically no exploitation and exploitation...... Even if it's a clone, it's a human. ”
“…… Even we have a more tolerant and generous attitude towards the indigenous lizard civilization, so it is impossible for us to treat clones as slaves. However, if these clones were not raised by their parents since childhood, they are likely to have character defects that affect social stability. ”
"And on the other hand...... Isn't there enough science fiction about cloning? What rebellion, division, etc...... If there are more clones than natural people, it's possible......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone smiled slightly, breaking the heavy atmosphere of the meeting.
The human cloning project was rightly rejected.
Wang Yufan also smiled, he just casually put forward a feasible point, and he didn't think that everyone would adopt it, in fact, he himself was against the "human cloning plan".
Wang Yufan said again: "So, what about natural people...... Fertilized eggs are formed using IVF technology and then hatched using artificial uterus technology. Human beings born in this way should belong to the category of natural persons, and they can also be mass-produced, greatly increasing the population. ”
Hearing this plan, a biologist immediately shook his head and said, "No, such a person is indeed a natural person, but there are also ethical and moral problems...... Since it is a natural person, its parents have the obligation to support it, otherwise what is the difference with a human cloner? ”
"In that case, why not let the parents have children on their own? Wouldn't it be a scold to let the government come forward to help them reproduce on a large scale? ”
Wang Yufan shook his head embarrassedly, it is true, if you want to produce a natural person, you must get the consent of your parents...... Otherwise, there would be no difference between natural persons and human cloning.
Now that the parents have agreed, it is better to let them give birth on their own, and this kind of behavior of the government is simply thankless......
This kind of human rights issue has always been sensitive, and even if the prestige of the new government is very high, it is better not to mess around.
"Also, I have to digress here......" said a white lady suddenly. She is also a mother of four.
"Because of the advent of artificial womb technology, some women are calling for this technology to avoid the pain of pregnancy and childbirth in October. I think this kind of behavior is unethical......"
"October pregnancy is the process of maternal germination, being a pregnant woman is happy, and the high belly bulge interprets the beauty of motherhood. Motherhood is not only innate, but also acquired, especially ten months of getting along day and night, so that parents cherish their children more......"
"So I think that if you remove the whole process of pregnancy and get a mature baby directly, the whole family may have a series of problems such as weak family affection."
"I have been a mother and know how to feel, and we should legislate to prohibit the indiscriminate use of artificial womb technology......"
As soon as her words came out, everyone discussed around this point.
"Sounds reasonable...... But if the process of pregnancy in October is circumvented, it is effective to increase the available industrial population. ”
“…… What about those who have a damaged uterus that make it difficult to get pregnant, or who are at high risk of becoming pregnant? They need to use this technology. ”
Legislation has never been a simple matter, especially the emergence of this two-sided science and technology, which needs to be discussed and studied in detail.
After a while, Yu Yifeng had to interrupt the people who were discussing Zhengxing, "Okay everyone, about this matter, it will be discussed by the special judicial department, and those who are interested can go to observe." ”
"That being the case, the programme for the mass production of natural persons from fertilized eggs is also not appropriate, and we encourage people to have children, but we cannot force them to give birth...... Is there any other way? ”
"In the end, it's a matter of capacity! Increase the population, just to increase industrial capacity! ”
"Then there is only the large-scale use of indigenous lizards, which we are already enforcing ......"
It was Dr. Rimbaud who spoke, "But the current quality of the lizard natives is too low, and only one out of a hundred has a qualified IQ...... The available lizard population is about 100,000 to 200,000. And we have only developed less than 20,000, and this aspect can be increased on a large scale. ”
"The large number of low-IQ lizards in the back is really difficult to educate, they can't overcome the wild instincts that have been cultivated for a long time, and they can't do the work of us humans. It's a pity, and it may take more time......," Dr. Rimbaud said, shrugging his shoulders.
Yu Yifeng nodded and wrote a sentence in his notebook: Develop indigenous lizards.
Actually, he didn't need Rimbaud to say this, he knew it...... If you can use hundreds of thousands of lizards, it's actually not bad.
"What about the research and development of artificial intelligence? Any progress? Yu Yifeng asked.
The quality of the lizard natives is too poor, the population is still limited, and there is no way to use them in batches.
In contrast, artificial intelligence is the real qualitative change, and it can achieve a huge leap in production capacity!
Of course, this kind of artificial intelligence is not the kind that relies on databases, but the "strong" artificial intelligence that can really think about problems.
"This question...... For us, there are still some difficulties, and the Knicks civilization has not achieved strong artificial intelligence. ”
"Maybe this kind of technology itself is not a ...... that can be achieved by low-level civilizations"
Dr. Rimbaud sighed, "Even if it happens, how to restrain it is a big problem. Maybe it's also the self-destruction of humanity? ”
