Chapter 1103: About eternal life
"General Shen's family is the envy of everyone." Wei Tongtong naturally entered the first topic of the day, "Actually, everyone is very curious, two people of different races living together, will they encounter something new that other families don't have, or something special?" β
"Even in Emilia's home world, there is only one half-elf like her, so I don't think half-elf can be considered a race......"
Shen Fu made a small joke, and then continued, "Everyone can actually see her as the same human being, as if there is a difference between yellow and white, and her appearance should be more in line with our oriental aesthetics, in fact, not only Emilia, Rem and Ram are still ghosts, Betty is a disembodied elf...... In my opinion, whether these people from other worlds are called 'people' or something else depends on who makes up the majority of our whole. β
"It's a clever way to avoid the focus of our attention." Wei Tongtong covered his mouth and smiled, "It seems that General Shen is not very willing to share interesting things in life, I originally wanted to ask who has more say in the family." β
"It's just because it's hard to think of anything special." Shen Fu showed an innocent expression, "Our family life is the same as that of most people, and the most discussed every day is some firewood, rice, oil and salt in life, as for the right to speak...... I don't have much machismo, but Emilia is a gentle wife. β
β...... The more you talk about it, the more enviable it becomes. Wei Tongtong couldn't help but admire, "I wonder if the reason why Mr. Shen retired from an important position at the age of thirty-four is also related to enjoying a happier family life?" After all, we can all see that no matter how busy General Shen is, he will personally pick up his daughter and go home. β
This question is starting to be a little sharp, but it is also a thing that many people in China are more curious about, after all, with Shen Fu's age, no matter how you look at it, it is still far from retirement.
"I think there is still a certain difference between my current 'retirement' status and what you have always had."
Shen Fu's own upright body couldn't help but straighten a little, tonight's topic had actually been arranged in advance, and the previous ones were just prefixes that led to the topic.
"We are now living in one of the greatest times, we have broken down so many boundaries, we have made the impossible possible, and it has brought unforeseen changes to our lives, and you may think that the changes you have seen are very big, but in fact, change has become the main challenge of our time."
"To take my own example, with my current lifespan, I may have reached a point where I don't even know - at least in millennia."
After saying this, Shen Fu paused slightly, giving the rest of the people time to think.
Wei Tongtong in front of her opened his mouth slightly, as if he was very surprised, but before he could fully show it, he closed his mouth.
What's impossible about this, just these worlds that appear now, many of them have characters who break the limits of life, and those gods in the dungeon world have even existed for hundreds of millions of years, far exceeding the entire history of human civilization, in this era, the first thing everyone has to learn is that everything is possible.
"In the beginning, I had similar concepts to most people, my comrades-in-arms and colleagues." Shen Fu's voice sounded again, "Marry a wife, have children, work, retire, retire, and then end your life of glory or obscurity, even after meeting and falling in love with Emilia, all I want is to accompany her as long as possible after retirement." β
"But later on, I began to realize that my life plan might be completely scrapped, because I might be able to live for thousands of years, if not longer."
"At first, I didn't think there was anything bad, and I was even very excited, who wouldn't want to live forever, but then I met the real gods, yes, the guys in the dungeon world, and I saw one thing from them, that is, the disadvantages of eternal life, which will make people completely lose the meaning of life, and when the time is so long that everything can't stimulate your nerves, it will become the kind of thing they call ' The state of divinity, which removes all emotions, including boredom, and becomes the same existence as a robot and a computer program. β
"I have every reason to believe that if the Chinese civilization can last for thousands of years, no, maybe even only a few hundred years, the people who choose to die will account for the majority of the mortality rate of the Chinese population."
This is a topic that must be taken out, originally Shen Fu thought that it was not necessary to take it out so quickly, but the recent events in the country made him realize that this day may be faster than he imagined.
Previously, Shen Fu deliberately went to the world of Tiecheng to learn about it, the human body transformation technology from the Macross Fortress can allow human beings to remove all biological tissues except for part of the brain, and with magic, everyone can survive for thousands of years very cheaply, and even upload the spiritual will to an existence similar to the network to achieve immortality in another sense.
A series of problems brought about by longevity are imminent, and as a pioneer on the road to immortality, Shen Fu has the obligation to appease the emotions of the masses.
"Wow, wowβthat's a ......" Wei Tongtong found that he didn't know what to say.
Because she was also a little confused at this time, immortality has been everyone's dream since ancient times, but after being placed in front of her at first glance, she suddenly had a feeling of not knowing whether to be ecstatic or not.
"Let's go back to the old topic about why I chose to retire at such an early age." Shen Fu smiled, and his tone suddenly became a little more relaxed, "Because after my life plan was completely disrupted, I suddenly realized that I needed to find a rhythm of life that I could enjoy, I could neither waste a long life of idleness, nor be obsessed with a goal and fall into it, so I chose to change myself to a relaxed environment so that I could seriously think about what I wanted." β
"That's why General Shen said before that your retirement now is not the same as the retirement we understand, right?" Wei Tongtong put away the thoughts in his mind, whether he could live forever or not, he still had to focus on his work at this time.
