Chapter IX: Emergencies
"It's a technology with a lot of potential." Zheng Kai looked at the several reports submitted and carefully reviewed the information contained in them, "The resources that need to be invested in the early stage are not very many, and the direct effect is also good, it can make people have the same dream, and it can also play a role in helping sleep." ”
"And once the dream can be unified and the person can be kept awake appropriately, the extension of time and the transmission of knowledge can be realized in the dream." Zheng Kai tapped on the table, "And with the spar as the basic energy source, the cleansing effect of the cerebrospinal fluid can dissipate fatigue, and if the buffer time is increased a little, it can also make people better rest." ”
"The plan can be implemented." Zheng Kai took out the seal from the drawer and lightly stamped it on it, "The history of mankind has also changed because of this, right?" ”
"I think people will sing your praises to you." Bing Shijue said on the side.
"It may also be pointed out by Qianfu, because for humans, the immersion in the virtual world is always better than the real world." Zheng Kai put the document aside, but shook his head, "Although I am not an ability, my brain development is not as high as yours." But after becoming the manager of the Xuanwu Alliance, he received a lot of information, and he could barely make some inferences. ”
"No one else can listen to these words, but you, an immortal cultivator who is outside the Xuanwu Alliance, can listen to them." Zheng Kai smiled bitterly, "Or do you want to continue bathing in the magma?" ”
"That's going to be boring." Bing Shijue spread his hands, "Bai Qiuyue, Nie Huixin, Gan Xingwen and they have started to go to the university to recruit graduate students to prepare for this plan." I, an immortal cultivator, can't help you directly. ”
"If you help, we're really finished." Zheng Kai also relaxed for a moment, "Your thinking speed will allow you to get the result directly, but there is no process at all, which is very painful...... Let's talk about the heavy ones. ”
"Listen up." Bing Shijue said.
"For example, the unemployment rate of the school-age population in the entire Xuanwu Alliance is 12.7 percent," Zheng Kai said fluently, "because of nuclear fusion, there is no problem with energy at all." Common materials in daily life can also be basically synthesized through energy. Basic agriculture is done directly by robots, and higher-level GMO technology is still being studied. ”
"People are lazy, and in addition to the urging necessary for life, more and more people choose to quit their jobs and do what they love at home." Zheng Kai scratched his hair, "Some people are gifted, they can make good contributions, invent some patents, and provide some art. But we all know that most people are just ordinary people, and many people don't have goals in life, they don't have lofty ideals, they just want to live a comfortable life. ”
"So in the early days, there were a lot of people who traveled around the world, and there were many people who had fun, and they never got tired of it, and even produced a social phenomenon." Zheng Kai smiled helplessly, "People who study sociology call it the sequelae of nuclear fusion, referring to the crazy and reckless pleasure of those who cannot be spiritually improved because they are rich in materials. ”
"So after a lot of discussions, we launched the graduate and doctoral student expansion plan, which does reduce the gold content to a certain extent, but at least it can allow people to retract their energy and allocate more time to meaningful things." Zheng Kai said, "Of course, such behavior will also cause people to object, for example, they will say why they should pursue social progress, human beings are already rich and perfect in this kind of life." ”
"This situation is bound to get worse, so we also thought carefully about the alien invasion and announced the retention time of the black chamber. At least in the short term, it stimulates people to focus, not to have fun. But it can also give people a little room for pleasure. ”
"This has a new problem, human nature is so elusive and unpredictable, once you know that aliens will come, there are people who lie down, thinking that facing advanced civilization is death anyway, it is better to enjoy a good life directly. The previous hedonism is also beginning to sprout. ”
"So this kind of machine that can manipulate dreams is really what is needed now. We can do proper publicity and add some elements to the dream. Zheng Kai said, raising his head and looking at the ceiling of Xuanwu, "In addition, we also have those on the moon who are unwilling to come back, and they are also a difficult bone for us. ”
"They ......" Bing Shijue's divine thoughts rose sharply, covering the moon, and soon he learned why Zheng Kai was sad, "You have begun to believe in aliens, right?" ”
"Yes, I think aliens are more technological, so I should go to them." Zheng Kai's smile also added a mockery in the bitterness, "But they are also smart, basically all of them have joined the Xuanwu Alliance on the surface, but as capable people, they all have the ability to transmit and think in their minds, and they do master some technology that we don't know...... However, once they make any moves, they will be directly charged with crimes against humanity or crimes against humanity, and they can send troops to fight against them. ”
"You're much more decisive than before." Bing Shijue said.
"The same goes for you." Zheng Kai looked at Bing Shijue, who was only translucent at this time, and just crooked the corners of his mouth.
"Alarm, alarm, Boyi detected an unknown infection!" Just as Zheng Kai and Bing Shijue decided to end the topic, a dazzling red light flashed, and an annoying prompt sound came from the computer, "Captain Boyi has applied to speak to the headquarters and applied for remote support from the medical department. ”
"Agreed, contact the medical department promptly." Zheng Kai took a deep breath, glanced at the briefing information in the corner, turned his head and glanced at Bing Shijue, who was preparing to act at the moment, and smiled bitterly, "I won't ask you to help when it is not necessary, you have more important things." ”
"But I'm free now, and I'm right next to the Boe." Bing Shijue said.
"I know, but Bing Shijue, we need to accumulate experience, accumulate experience from nothing, from there to rich." Zheng Kai waited for the medical department to be connected, and when this information was transmitted, the personnel also began to organize quickly, and he had to speed up, "Relying on you, you can probably help us clear the infection inside the Boyi in a second, and then spend a few minutes to cure everyone, and then everyone will be happy to explore again?" ”
"Of course it's okay, but it will make people dependent on you." Zheng Kai shook his head, "When this project is over, you will have to go to the area three light years away, because your speed is faster than our nuclear fusion spacecraft." This project is only done by you, but there are still all kinds of problems on the earth and on the moon, and once people become dependent, they will not want to solve the problems themselves. ”
"What if you go further afield, do we still have to rely on you?" Zheng Kai didn't wait for Bing Shijue to answer, but watched the personnel of the medical department on the screen quickly assemble and clicked on the communication interface of the Boyi. It was also at this moment that Bing Shijue's divine thoughts captured Zheng Kai's breathing becoming heavy, and goosebumps on his arms and the back of his head began to flood.
In the screen, it was Feng Gulan, who was once able to smile.
But this time, the young captain was leaning on his seat, and the robot next to him was holding a hanging bottle high and was using a robotic arm to change medicines.
Her face was swollen, as if it had been filled with some soft substance, and the same was true of all parts of her body, as if she had been made of plasticine by a child, and none of the people present would have recognized it if it had not been for the identification tag and genetic testing indicating that it was Feng Gulan.
"Report from the captain of the Boyi." Feng Gulan was not speaking at this time, because her whole face was like soft mud, her eyelids covered her eyes, and her puffy lips covered her chin. If it weren't for the robot's voice-to-text device at her throat, her message wouldn't have been delivered.
"Director Zheng, the situation is more dangerous now, most of us now have a high fever, and then we are tired." Feng Gulan sat slumped in the chair, the flesh of his throat went up, and only the patch slowly converted the information into words, "The information that can be known at the moment is that the resistance of the body of the capable person will be stronger, especially the martial artist." But it can't withstand much time. ”
"According to our speculation, the robot that replaced the rune energy plate touched some virus in the magma." Feng Gulan's throat squirmed, "But why are there viruses or bacteria in the heat of more than 1,000 degrees, we don't know. ”
"The specifics of the situation will be explained by the researchers inside the Boyi." Feng Gulan's fingers trembled slightly, and the robot next to her also received her command, turning her driver's seat into a simple hospital bed, and the respirator was also inserted into her nasal cavity.
"I'm sorry, but our captain is in very bad health right now." As soon as the picture turned, Chu Wenshan's face appeared in front of everyone, and his eyes were also swollen, but the overall situation was much better than Feng Gulan. There was also a hanging bottle on his arm, but there were still some files suspended next to him, and the display screen around him was also on.
"Presumably, we may have been infected by the virus." Chu Wenshan said, moving his fingers, and sent a picture to Zheng Kai's computer, "A kind of aggregate that has never been seen before was detected in our body, and the antibiotics did not work very well, and then some other treatments did not work for the time being." ”
"The rest is just speculation on my part, and I know it's going to be incredible." Chu Wenshan inhaled hard, making the catheter inserted in his nasal cavity tremble slightly, "In the magma with a high temperature of 1000 °C, there is a kind of aggregate living. This kind of aggregate may come from ancient times, from that era when there were immortal cultivators. ”
"This aggregate was originally attached to the immortal cultivators, so it was able to live in such a high temperature environment." Chu Wenshan said, and an oval-shaped life form appeared on everyone's computer screen. There were also a few glaring notes on it, "Otherwise, I can't explain why this organism is structured the way it is." ”
The moment the picture appeared, the eyes of the people in the medical department on Zheng Kai's other computer screen widened, and some people's hands were deeply grasped in their hair, and their faces were confused.
