Chapter 4: Eligibility for Rebirth
When everything was ready, the ten large electromagnetic guns on the moon first fired thousands of "shells" carrying artificial satellites in the direction of Proxima Centauri B, which served as radio relay stations.
Immediately after that, the aforementioned 5,000 rounds of "shells" were fired at a constant velocity.
The shells are equipped with high-energy concentrated liquid fuel and multiple vents to correct the direction of flight and slow down.
In particular, the "shells" carrying small artificial satellites carry the most fuel, because they have to slow down in the orbits of the planets they pass through separately to become the "satellites" of those planets, and rely on the remaining fuel to correct their orbits at any time until they run out of fuel many years later and are replaced by newly launched artificial satellites.
When some planets turn away from the Earth and Proxima Centauri B, other satellites in orbit can take over and continue to undertake radio wave transmission tasks.
In addition, among the 5,000 "shells" that arrived at Proxima B, one codenamed "Touyan" was the first "shell" launched by the fifth of the ten giant electromagnetic cannons on the lunar base, after launching the satellite-carrying "shells".
After entering Proxima B's atmosphere, it is responsible for searching for the most suitable lake of size and depth in the eastern part of the origin plain, and automatically sends out signals to guide the other 4,999 "shells" to correct the flight direction.
It should be noted that copying a soul out of a body is like using a mobile hard drive to copy its original data from a computer hard drive, and will not cause the original computer system to crash/the person die.
As mentioned earlier, national laws and existing UN conventions certainly strictly prohibit people from constantly copying themselves and allowing multiple selves to live in the world at the same time.
In addition to the strict rebirth procedures for accidental deaths, there are also strict legal procedures for the rebirth of people who are about to die of natural causes and people with disabilities.
The legal provisions of various countries and the United Nations are basically as follows: 1. After a person (referred to as A) has physical failure or disability, A or his immediate family members or guardianship department apply to the hospital for a medical certificate of A's physical failure and disability. 2. A or his immediate family members or guardianship departments shall apply to the health departments of various governments to obtain the qualification of "rebirth" with the above certificates (the United Nations Health Agency also has the right to approve them). 3. Under the supervision of the health officer, the qualified doctor will first anesthetize the body of A, copy the soul, hand it over to the health officer, and send it to the United Nations Department of Health by e-mail, and the Department of Health will arrange for the soul to be stored in the server. 4. The same doctor euthanized A's body under the supervision of a health official. 5. The same doctor, under the supervision of health officials, initiates the cloning procedure. 6. A DNA clone baby is born, and after checking that there are no health problems, the health officer contacts the Department of Health, "picks up" A's soul from the server, hands it over to the same doctor mentioned above, and injects it into A's new body.
In addition, cloning can only be done with clone bins.
One might think that the baby is also a conscious and memorable individual in the cloning warehouse, so in the early days of the practice of "rebirth" technology, some countries did adopt the practice of injecting the soul into the brain as soon as the baby was born and the brain was already self-conscious.
But this will lead to some problems, first of all, although the infant birth mortality rate has been greatly reduced, the cloning warehouse is safer and more stable than the natural **, but safety is not absolute, so that a new soul may die before birth, even if the probability is 1 in 10,000, it is indeed not appropriate.
Secondly, it is convenient to do a full physical health examination after the baby is born, health does not mean that there are hands and feet even if it is healthy, but also a series of tests, although this test can technically be carried out in the cloning warehouse, but the safest is to wait for the baby to be born.
Moreover, the memory of the cloned baby in the cloning warehouse and the newly injected soul can be manipulated into a relationship that is not "overlay", but a relationship of "superposition", which cannot be said to be "dove occupies the magpie's nest", and it is ethically reasonable.
Of course, in pure technology, it is completely possible to erase all the memories and thoughts of a certain person, and then let another person's soul "occupy the magpie's nest", but that is obviously a serious illegal and criminal act.
Eventually, the world gradually accepted the practice of waiting for the birth of a cloned baby before replicating the soul into its body.
According to current regulations, the 2,500 advance military members who went to Proxima Centauri B are to be anesthetized before their souls are extracted. After the soul is copied, the body should be euthanized. Then its soul is backed up, one is frozen in the database, and one is sent to the moon to be ready for launch.
The bodies of the advance army members who had been left on Earth will not be allowed to be kept, and will need to be cremated.
Because the above-mentioned legal provisions in the "5、... Start the cloning program. It means: pressing the bionic ** start button or setting the timed start time.
The legal counsel of the New World Project believe that the moment the fully automatic cloned biomimetic ** is launched from the moon, it is equivalent to "starting the cloning process" under the law.
In fact, these 2,500 people, as the forerunners of mankind, live on the earth in their own bodies, or take 10,000 steps back, let their souls "live" in the database, and then let their copies open up territory in the new world, which is also reasonable, and the representatives of various member states of the United Nations and even most of humanity can understand.
It is not difficult to convene a regular meeting of the permanent representatives of various countries to the United Nations and to give them special treatment through a legal voting procedure.
However, David and others believe that this is unfair to subsequent immigrants, and although they are explorers, they should not enjoy too many extrajudicial privileges. Even if the New World Project fails, these 2,500 people will be "resurrected" on Earth, which is not too much of a loss.
The reason for David and others is also very simple, the New World Project is not to copy a group of earthlings, so that two groups of identical people can live on two planets. Rather, it is a resettlement plan to transfer the bodies and souls of some human beings on the earth to a new planet and reduce the burden on the earth.
Joseph does not hold this view, he wants his clone to explore the New World, and he wants his own body to continue to enjoy himself on Earth, gaining fame and fortune.
Joseph saw that the "selfless advice" of David and others was supported, and his rebellion was even more serious, and one of his rebellious plans was to squeeze David out, obtain the command of the advance army, and let his wife grow up with him in the new world for the first time.
The communications platoon of the advance army has long been firmly in the hands of General Steve Smith, a group of officers and soldiers who aspire to become the vassal king of the New World Empire in the future.
Without the scrutiny of Joseph and his close friends, no information can be sent back to Earth in the future.
After the other nine babies were injected into the souls of Joseph's wife, Linda, and eight other top scientists, and the safety bands were placed, the marmosets used what they saw as a very large electric cart to move the babies, including Joseph, to a newly built nursery with wood, stone, and "cannonball" shells.
Accessories such as motors and driving systems are brought in from the earth, but their wheels and support plates are also made from locally harvested wood.
When the other unknown advance team members saw David's arrest, they suddenly found that the computer in their house could not send e-mails to their families on Earth.
Everyone vaguely guessed that the advance army might have changed.
Of course, Joseph had already thought of this situation.
In front of a dense queue of 2,498 marmosets in a dense queue of 2,498 marmosets in an open space in a clearing in the center of the camp, where ten babies of all skin tones sit in electric wooden carts that can voice control the direction of travel.
Another marmoset messenger was sent to guard David.
With the exception of Joseph's associates, who were mostly officers or signal soldiers, none of the marmosets were allowed to carry firearms.
Joseph slowly turned his head to look around the crowd (monkeys) and said in a deep voice: "Fellow citizens, you may have guessed that we are going to break with the United Nations. ”
"And what about our family?"
"Yes! Our family is still on Earth! ”
"What if the UN refuses to send their souls over then?"
"What if the UN decides to launch nuclear weapons here?"
Some marmoset officers and soldiers said one after another.
Joseph said: "You don't have to worry about this, some senior UN officials are my close comrades-in-arms, and there are many scientists who have stayed at the headquarters who have also formed an alliance with me, and when we build a new home, the inner body of the earth can send radio waves to send the souls of your family." If you want to receive the DNA of other relatives and friends, we can also commission an internal application cannon from Earth to fire it here. ”
Seeing that everyone was gradually silent, he continued: "You can imagine what it is like for more than 2,000 of you, plus 10 of us, even if you add some friends who are still on Earth, to divide the territory of this huge planet together, do you know what a beautiful experience it is to be a king?" ”
The other eight top scientists, in previous long talks, had already expressed their acceptance of Joseph's leadership.
"I promise, you can all get a share of the territory of Proxima Centauri B's yang side, and as for the yin side, if you want, I can consider giving more." Joseph added.
Many of the marmosets have begun to have a greedy glow in their eyes when faced with great wealth, countless beautiful women, handsome guys, and supreme power.
At this time, a black baby girl said: "We are all the world's top scientists, among you, there are also many outstanding scientific researchers, and many excellent professional soldiers, we can say that we are the elite of the entire human elite!" How willing the United Nations is to destroy us. What's more, we still have so many internal responses on Earth, and the proposal to launch nuclear weapons here will definitely be vetoed. ”
