No. 589 Out of Earth (III)

Even in the same job, the proactive is more serious.

Conservative doctors treat doctors as a profession and are unwilling to spend effort to improve their professional skills when they feel that there is no hope for promotion; Positive doctors, on the other hand, regard doctors as ideals, and try to improve their professional skills as much as possible, regardless of whether they are promoted doctors or not.

One year and ten years, there may be no difference between the two.

One hundred years and two hundred years later, the gap between active doctors and conservative doctors is gradually getting wider and wider.

At the same time, although Wei Dongsheng could not completely solve the fatal problem of class solidification in the immortal society, he always adhered to the most basic and core of the Absolute Holy Gate, and did his best to evaluate the social status of an immortal with benchmarks such as ability and quality. Taking doctors as an example, after 100 years and 200 years of water, Wei Dongsheng found that conservative intermediate doctors were gradually overtaken by positive junior doctors, so he would decisively lower the evaluation of conservative intermediate doctors and promote positive junior doctors to intermediate doctors.

With the standard of appointing merit and ability, the activist people gradually replaced the conservative people, and unwittingly monopolized all departments and industries of the Absolute Holy Gate.

Unlike the backwater infighting of conservatives, the competition between the activists and the activists is more or less a healthy competition. If you don't have enough talent, you have time to make it up, as long as you have a positive heart, I can make up for your ten-year talent with a hundred years of hard work. The competition between the Immortals and the Immortals is a race with no end in sight, and when time is infinite, it is not who is fast who wins, but who is slacking and who is behind. As long as you slack off and don't want to move forward, no matter how slow the latecomer is, it can catch up with you.

Slowness is not failure, stopping is.

The core difference between conservatives and activists is probably that activists can better adapt to the immortal society.

Even if they live forever, the activists will not be confused.

……

At the same time as the society is changing drastically, the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance has also reaped many sweet fruits of natural science.

In 808, the food industry of the Jedi Gate Alliance ushered in fusion.

At the time of the 800-year census of the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance, the total population of the country had exceeded 3 billion, and the population crisis had become a fact. But immortality is like a curse, and no matter how low the birth rate is, it will slowly accumulate into astronomical numbers. If the parents are immortal, the one-child policy will also be a net population growth.

In addition, there are twelve trolls in this world who have divided the seven continents and four oceans of the earth, and cannot hope that North and South America and Africa will send food to the Gateless. The territory of the Alliance covers the real world, China, northern Vietnam, North Korea, South Korea, Russia, eastern Ukraine, eastern Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Iran and other places. Compared with the population distribution in the real world, the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance raises 3 billion people in more than 20 states, and the land burden is obviously close to the limit.

Banning universal fertility to reduce the size of the population is a good idea, but it is not feasible.

As the saying goes, it is better to be blocked than to be loose, and while family planning is trying to reduce the population growth rate as much as possible, efforts must be made to increase agricultural productivity. Before 808, agricultural science and technology focused on seed improvement, indoor planting, three-dimensional cultivation and other fields. For example, genetic breeding, which breeds higher yields; For example, if you build a 100-storey industrial farm, the limited land area will immediately increase by a hundredfold. For example, the elimination of soil burden, the combination of nutrient solutions with natural light, and efforts to increase the grain yield per unit area, etc.

The upheaval of 808 was the industrialization of food.

Food industrialization is the literal industrialization of food, that is, the food synthesis technology often seen in science fiction.

Food synthesis technology goes beyond wheat, rice, corn and other food objects, and directly produces various foods in the shape of industrial products based on human flesh and bones. Initially, the cost of food synthesis technology was on the high side. However, after more than 100 years of continuous and massive investment support from the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance, the food synthesis technology has become more and more mature, and the cost of large-scale food synthesis has become cheaper and cheaper. When the land capacity of the Absolute Holy Gate could not perfectly support a population of 3 billion or more, the market competitiveness of industrial synthetic food became stronger and stronger.

There are many other advantages of industrially synthesized foods as well.

For example, manufacturing advantages, synthetic food has a wide range of raw materials, can be produced anytime and anywhere, and the lunar space station can be equipped with synthetic food factories; For example, the storage advantage, synthetic food has a longer shelf life than natural food, and can be easily stored for decades; Another example is the taste advantage.

In conventional science fiction, synthetic food is often described as garbage with negative taste, and compared with synthetic food, a bowl of rice seems to have become a delicacy in the world. But after Wei Dongsheng's practical verification, such an impression is somewhat taken for granted. On the contrary, synthetic foods are not only healthier than natural foods, they are also often 100 times more delicious than natural foods.

Health is because synthetic foods with the nature of staple foods cover all the nutrients needed by human beings, and will not lack certain amino acids and vitamins due to vegetarianism, meat and other reasons, nor will they cause nutritional imbalance due to preference for certain vegetables or certain fish. If you have the ability to eat a precise synthetic food at the individual level, it can also monitor human nutritional needs in real time, quickly adjust synthetic food ingredients, and create personalized food for someone to eat. Compared with dietary advice such as eating apples, eating carrots, and eating grains, precision food synthesis is not intended to be more efficient.

The root of the deliciousness is not because synthetic foods are of good quality, but because synthetic foods contain harmless additives that stimulate human taste buds and other organs.

There is a joke in the real world that the instant noodles of the 21st century have traveled to the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, and will be a human delicacy that the emperor will be amazed by. The examples, while somewhat exaggerated, are understandable. The principle is the same, and the reason why instant noodles are delicious beyond the imagination of the ancients is that there are many seasonings such as spices that the ancients could not imagine. The taste advantage of synthetic food, similar to the ancient rice and wheat of the Qin and Han dynasties, is a natural result. Steamed bread, bread and other foods, no matter how much improvement methods have to be limited by flour and other raw materials, synthetic foods can easily add a variety of flavoring additives that arouse human appetite.

Of course, the disdain for synthetic food is still a common phenomenon in the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance.

Industrial manufacturing is mass production, and products of the same quality cannot show individual specialness. Some of the ruling class and some of the middle class, in particular, worship natural foods, and regard old-fashioned foods such as wheat and rice, which are out of balance due to the rapid population growth, as the healthiest food in the world, and will never eat synthetic foods as long as they can afford to eat natural foods. The status of synthetic food in their eyes is similar to instant noodles, KFC, McDonald's, Shaxian, cheap takeaways in the 21st century in the real world.

Unfortunately, emotions do not solve the food problem.

As the population continues to swell from 3 billion to 4.5 billion, synthetic foods have gradually gained the status of staple foods.

In other words, the technology of synthetic food is very crucial, it means that the days of relying on the sky for food are gone, and since then agriculture has a new interpretation. The Mandate of Heaven punishment attached to the reduction of grain production, floods and droughts, has also become a tiger without claws in the face of synthetic food, and the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance has a synthetic food guarantee, so what does it matter if the natural agriculture production is reduced by 100%?

At the same time, there is a fundamental solution to the population problem.

The most fundamental cause of the population crisis is the food crisis, because food is limited, and the population becomes a burden. The most basic problem of survival has been solved, and the amount of other non-essential resources will at most affect the material conditions of poverty or wealth, and will not cause the people to rise up. With the synthetic food back, the probability of internal rebellion is greatly reduced.

In 888, the Absolute Gate Alliance reached a milestone in uncontrolled nuclear fusion research.

This scientific research achievement can be named uncontrollable micronuclear fusion. As the name suggests, it also has a number of flaws. Due to the extremely high requirements for controlled nuclear fusion, it is difficult to see a little optimistic breakthrough in a short period of time, so the industry and scientific research community have been working on small-yield nuclear fusion technology in a down-to-earth manner.

The theory of uncontrollable micro-nuclear fusion: firstly, it is not demanding to control the fusion process of nuclear fusion, but to control the amount of nuclear fusion raw materials to create a weak micro-nuclear explosion; After the energy released by the micro-nuclear explosion has been converted, new nuclear fusion raw materials are introduced. Imagine a picture of uncontrolled micro-fusion like primitive flintlock pistols, with a single shot and having to reload the raw material. Due to the small amount of nuclear material required for each micro-nuclear explosion and the long time between refills, the first commercial uncontrolled micro-fusion power plants were extremely inefficient and even less efficient than wind power.

Nonetheless, uncontrolled microfusion is also a revolutionary breakthrough in the energy system.

Synthetic food has solved the food crisis, uncontrollable micronuclear fusion has solved the energy crisis, and the internal contradictions of the Jedi Holy Gate Alliance have begun to ease.

In 880, Li Tang Guoyun was demoted to purple; Huang Chao should be ordered to Qi country, its color is crimson, and the national capital is in Yongzhou.

In this world, Huang Chao is a middle-level manager of the Qingzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce. Before he was called upon, Huang Chao was actively involved in political groups, often marching and protesting over national or local policy issues. However, Huang Chao's hatred for the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance in this world is obviously not as good as Huang Chao's hatred for Li Tang in the real world, and when he found that he was ordered to Qi Guo's national fortune, Huang Chao took the initiative to stop all political activities and cooperate with the Absolute Holy Gate to pacify the place. The reason for this should be that the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance did not have the soil for rebellion.

If the Absolute Holy Gate Alliance did not have a synthetic food backing, thinking about the real world of China, which has a population of less than 1.4 billion, it should understand how heavy the burden of more than 4 billion people is. As long as the people at the bottom do not have to face the fear of starvation, the idea of rebellion will certainly not be too strong.

In 884, Li Tang Guoyun restored purple.

In 889, the fortunes of the state of Qi dissipated.

In 891, World Will unlocks level 38.

In 891, the group wave ended, and Li Shimin advanced to level 32; Li Longji advanced to level 31, and Li Yuan advanced to level 30; Li Zhi, Li Chun and others advanced to level 29, Li Yan, Li Chen and others advanced to level 28; ……。 This is the last glory of Li Tang's patron of the country, and in the next two or three hundred years, the level of Li Shimin and others will stagnate.
