Chapter 130: The Resolution of the Few
"Your Excellency, the problem we encounter is exactly this, a temptation that ordinary people cannot resist is placed in front of us, whether it is to refuse or accept, it is so difficult to choose, at this moment, all of you represent the whole, as the elite of the human race, we must be responsible for the future of mankind, not only for each family, but also for the whole country."
A secret meeting was held at a military base on the outskirts of New York, and the invitees were not only important officials, but also the heads of major families, including, of course, the current President. Tight guards, an environment that has been checked dozens of times, and strict identity verification ensure that the meeting can be held in the most confidential manner.
President Blane knew in his heart that this meeting sounded good and was responsible for mankind, but its essence was nothing more than the first time that the entire ruling group of the United States really came together to share the spoils, so as to prevent a certain big power from having no share and finally causing an accident. Although the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, but after a long time, it will definitely leak out, and those forgotten families will unite and use the power of the masses to cause all kinds of chaos, and the consequences are not what they want to see.
"Let's vote, everyone here does not need to say much, in accordance with international practice, if more than half agree, we will unanimously sign this "Life Technology Non-Proliferation Agreement", and at the same time, it must be absolutely confidential, and there must be no discriminatory behavior, so as not to cause serious social contradictions, all those who enjoy this fruit must resign from their original positions, file here, keep rotating identities, and then disclose this technology to a considerable extent in the development of mankind," the presiding officer of the meeting read out a draft. They had already coped adequately with the situation, and it was impossible to give up.
Three hours later, the results appeared, and there were more than 700 attendees, but only 300 valid votes, and the first vote failed.
Everyone wants to enjoy the results, but they are worried about taking on the corresponding historical responsibility, and abstaining is the best option.
Hehe, no one is a fool, President Bryan looked at this result, this kind of responsibility, it is not simply to say that it is okay, it is to be recorded in the entire history of human civilization, whether it is Hitler or Roosevelt, it must be in the future influence before the historical note can be made. All of you are at the helm of major families, and the reputation of the family is not affected by individuals, but by the entire family.
"The vote is invalid, according to the procedure, there will be a second round of voting, if the number of valid votes is still not reached after three rounds, we can only reject the other party's proposal," the moderator did not panic, he knew that it was impossible for these people to give up.
Sure enough, the number of valid votes in the second vote reached 500, with more than 300 votes in favor and more than 200 votes against, but neither side reached one-half of the total, and it was still necessary to vote again.
After the third round, the result that everyone hoped for finally came out, including those who voted against it, and the reason why they opposed it was only for the sake of the family's reputation in the future, but from a real personal point of view, they wished they could pass.
"The results of the third round of voting, 485 votes in favor, 106 votes against, 175 abstentions, the final resolution, the draft passed, please come up to sign, seal, record, take a picture ......"
President Bryan also signed his name, left a family crest, made a record, took a photo, etc., the procedure is very complicated, but its binding force is definitely not violable.
It was the world-famous "Skull and Bones Society" that ruled the whole United States that organized this meeting, and their energy was completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and a meeting that decided the fate of mankind came to an end, and the impact it had caused can only be seen by guessing a little.
As for whether it's good or bad, go to heaven or go to hell, fuck it. This is the voice of some of the meeting members after going through the process.
"Sure enough, they passed the research plan, and our guess was correct, in the face of this temptation, their sanity was far from enough for them to make the most reasonable choice, although this choice is not very bad, at least for the time being, it has great benefits, both for the whole country and for individuals." With a "sure enough" look on his face, Ronctor watched the contents of the secret meeting on the screen.
"But they've done a good enough job, at least they're trying to avoid the worst, and if there are no accidents, their plan can still be implemented, and in just a few hundred years, the human mind will be able to make great progress again, enter a new stage, and this technology can really be popularized." We don't need to worry too much about it. By the way, the person you mentioned, I have already found out, his experience is really unusual, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can be said to be legendary, although there are also many earth scientists who are as outstanding as they are, and even discovered many laws, but in my opinion, they still have a fundamental gap, and any intelligent beings, their own understanding is often lagging behind other aspects, and it is the most difficult to see themselves. This is a philosophical truth. To be able to knock on God's door with such a rudimentary tool, I would never believe him if he didn't have a special background. Even we, under similar conditions, couldn't have done better," Director Green said.
"I don't think that's it, it's just that they're lucky," Ciro was not convinced, "We can develop a space gate technology close to the advanced civilization, which has proved that we are far more potential than these earthlings, you know, in the records, the advanced civilization has been developing for tens of millions of years, accumulating countless energy resources, and doing endless experiments before mastering this technology, we have not even a fraction of their development, we have already touched the threshold, as long as we go further, we can catch up and become the representative of the galaxy, Step into the ranks of advanced civilizations. ”
"That kind of thing is too far away for people like us who study science and technology to predict,"; Rankedo shook his head, the higher civilization is so simple to say, it is almost an unattainable goal, the accumulation of energy alone will take countless years, not to mention other aspects, of course, the survival of the race, if there is no accident, can always be maintained very well, the energy of a star is enough to meet their needs in all aspects.
"You two, the topic is far away again, you take a look at this person first, how to deal with it, after all, although we have met a lot of earthlings, but there is not much real contact, relying on some information alone, there is no problem with their general communication, but if this kind of thing is related to the vital interests of both parties, I'm afraid it will not be so simple." Director Green said, pointing to the photo on the file.
"Okay, let's take a look at this elite individual of the human race, looking at his description, there are not many shortcomings, the desire is not very strong, it is basically a working type, which is a bit similar to us, but who knows if this is an illusion?" Ciro said, holding the photo.
"The other party has a great weakness, that is, he is afraid of death, which can be seen from his experience, moving people everywhere, and conducting research that is exactly what he needs most. But then again, human beings are really a paradoxical animal, on the one hand, there are infinite people who use all kinds of means to prolong their lives, and on the other hand, there are a large number of suicides every year, and there are people who actively provoke wars and continue to devour their already short lives," Green said, shaking his head.
"If the more disadvantages, if they can still survive in nature, then it means that they have some advantages that are so great that after they are offset, they still have the strength to continue to evolve." Roncodor, casually picked it up.
"That's right, they are very adaptable, both physically and psychologically, they have good endurance, they can spend half their lives on one thing, and some people can engage in boring things until they die, and they will not change." Ciro said.
"We have an idea to deal with this person," the other three people who had been working for a long time finally began to speak, they belonged to the kind of people who were indifferent to the outside world, whether it was a race or any civilization, they were not as attractive as the exploration of the unknown.
"Well, you old antiques, what can you pay attention to, although these people are not as good as us in terms of scientific and technological development, but their minds are not necessarily simple, don't be deceived by their apparent friendliness, it really involves the competition of practical interests, these people can do cold things no matter what, definitely not a race with good nature, to deal with them, we must not be negligent because we are in an advantage, although we lack similar things in our own history, but their history, But it is full of such bad plots of fawning over weakness and then turning against them," Ciro reminded.
"Of course, since the other party is so afraid of death, we might as well use the newly developed biotechnology, regarding the non-destructive transfer of the stream of consciousness of intelligent beings," the three experts who were immersed in their work did not say anything, and the three people were shocked as soon as they said it.
"The stream of consciousness of intelligent beings is transferred without loss! This is one of the core secrets of the race, even if we are in the race, only a few people are qualified to use it, because the steps are too complicated, full of risks, and if you really want to promote, it will not only cause a lot of waste of resources, but the effect is not necessarily good," Ranke knows it, he himself has done it three times, and he knows that the steps are complex, the principle is profound, and the space gate technology is excavated from prehistoric civilization. Otherwise, even if they can correct the genetic defects, the damage from the cosmic environment will greatly limit the lifespan of the organism itself, and it is impossible to survive for a very long time.
The so-called consciousness must rely on matter to exist, and at the same time, the electronic signal itself is a substance, that is to say, in fact, consciousness itself is manifested in a material form, but it is like a flowing current, it must have both a carrier and a certain voltage, which is the function that the organism needs to provide, and it is extremely weak, if it is separated from the organism itself, any disturbance will lead to dissipation. Therefore, there are no ghosts in this world, let alone sunlight, even if the energy fluctuations brought by a gust of wind can disturb them.
"If the other party really wants to have the same technology, then there is no big problem for us to transfer this technology, although it is good to have an unlimited life, but if you really live too long and lose your pursuit, it will be very lonely, unless social civilization is greatly improved, otherwise this kind of survival does not have much meaning." One expert casually voiced his opinion.
"And this also has no loss to us, this kind of similar technology, mainly to satisfy the desires of intelligent creatures, has no fundamental significance to the progress of its overall strength, and it is impossible to pose any threat to us, but the other party will be more careful in acting because of the possibility of endless life, that kind of unscrupulous, desperate for a little immediate benefit, the other party will definitely not do." The other said.
"Even so, if you really want to use it as a bargaining chip, you still have to go through the discussion of the Council of Elders," Director Green pondered after hearing this.
"What's more, this technique is said to be non-destructive, but it is actually very unscientific, such as our Professor Ronkedo, I suspect that every time he finishes it, he should be a different person. You must know that the reason why consciousness is extremely complex is also related to the material structure on which it depends, and the operation of its pulse signals is directly dependent on the original network, the entire ideological characteristics, and a series of complex spiritual concepts, all of which are built on it. If you change places, it is more likely that the memories have been copied, but the original thinking pattern has undergone a fundamental change, that is, the birth of a new personality," the third person said objectively.
"When you mention it, I feel this way, as if the former self is like some close relationship with others,
Could this be the aftermath of that kind of technology," Roncotor didn't get angry or anything, they were just discussing technology objectively, and there was nothing personal about it.
"Everything that is exchanged for taking shortcuts has such and such shortcomings, but this issue can only be discussed later, so I will rush back to the Martian Colonial Headquarters and use the image to transmit the situation here to the Elders' House through the space gate, so that they can make the final decision." When Green finished speaking, he got up and left.
"Well, go ahead, it's best to inform the Governor beforehand that he can make certain preparations, so that once the application is confirmed, we will start working." Roncodor said.
