The quiet days passed like this for a week. Outside is an ordinary and bright world, Andy is a free man, high-rise buildings stand in the city, there are a large number of robots everywhere to maintain the infrastructure, all household chores and official business are done by robots, and these robots are almost more thoughtful than real people do.

Society is so stable that almost any contradiction will disappear soon after it arises, because there is a being who overrides all calculations, and it is called Diana.

Andy's daily routine is to work out and play virtual reality games, which can quickly get tired, so later people's preferences have generally become more curious, and many people have indulged in digging into the trivialities and various outdated records of the past, a trend that has not been suppressed by Diana, because it seems to think that it is a manifestation of the freedom of human will.

But it is not intrusive in everything, and its rules are almost incredibly complex when it comes to the union of men and women.

Once confirmed to be in union with someone, men and women are burdened with a series of heavy and complex obligations, which of course unlock a lot of real-world power and rewards.

But some people have difficulty getting permission all their lives, others are forced to switch objects from time to time, and if they ask for reasons, they will get a lot of redundant plausibility calculation verification reports that people can't understand at all, Diana seems to be constantly calculating the future, so she will often make corrections to reality.

Although this is not meaningful to people nowadays, due to the highly developed network virtual reality technology, all desires and needs can be satisfied in sleep, so reality has become the focus of everyone's attention, and the people on the arrangement feel that it is a cumbersome burden, and those who do not arrange it are happy to be idle, immersed in the simulation warehouse all day long.... Or rather, in their preferred

Spending time in the "real", the simulated warehouse is also called a happiness distributor. Andy tried it, but he just felt something was wrong, so he stopped tasting it every time.

The girlfriend he lives with is named Tina, who seems to be a senior person working in a computing center, but Andy feels that the woman has become more and more mentally ill in recent years..... Well, that's probably what the current situation looks like.

Andy frowned and sat on a chair sunbathing, one with a metallic face

"People" came to him.

"Sir, do you need something to drink?" The robot said so, although it is a robot, but it looks almost the same as a human except for the face, advanced technology has made this housekeeping robot to this extent, if you cover the face, you can't easily distinguish the difference between it and people in appearance, fortunately, these robots are very detailed in the program setting, there will be no some peculiar problems, such as..... Suddenly think you're human and start a rebellion or something.

"Orange juice." He said, then getting a cup of freshly squeezed, the orange did not belong to an orchard, it was directly using a quantum composition technique with the help of a machine

The "substance print" is fabricated by consuming energy, but it is almost indistinguishable from a real orange on all levels, and does not have the same problems as a real orange, any more than if the skin is too thick or dirty.

Speaking of energy, the energy of this world is almost infinite, and a technology that acts on outer space transfers the fusion energy of stars to Earth with high efficiency, and the energy extracted from space is much better than the energy converted from radioactive minerals dug up in the ground.

Although the latter did not disappear either, it was transformed into a supplementary energy source after improvements. The powerful material printing technology has greatly enriched the world's materials, and with the managers beyond human beings and the highly developed virtual world, people no longer have to compete for anything.

Andy lay there, the wind blew slightly, now there are no natural disasters in this world, Diana can predict the origin of bad weather with 100% accuracy and intervene, using weather control technology to dissipate bad weather into invisible or move to no man's land that will not affect human society.

If it is a problem from the underground, a large number of nuclear shield robots and industrial robots have been working endlessly underground, and the huge underground automation base is responsible for the production-maintenance-recovery of all automation units, so that these robots can continue to transform the underground world.

After day after day adjustments, the underground of most human settlements has been basically stabilized, and with the adaptive mechanism of high-tech buildings and developed emergency evacuation facilities, the threat of severe earthquakes and volcanic eruptions has become almost non-existent.

The world's protection of human beings is perfect, even covering outer space, a large number of artificial satellites with the moon base as the command center to build a complex defense network, they can launch all kinds of probes or destructive weapons to never stop looking for and eliminating asteroids or other celestial bodies that can threaten human beings on Earth.

As far as Andy knows, this set of things called Skynet was first developed during the war between humans and the Zeta people, and it was also the last large-scale war experienced by human society in recorded history, after that victory, human technology was further developed rapidly, and the first human alien colony was established in the Moon's Tranquility Sea, and the current number of inhabitants has reached 100 million.

There is no more poverty, no more discrimination, no more ethnicity, race and class, because everything is meaningless, and with advanced gene editing technology and knowledge indoctrination technology, you can be whatever you want to be and learn whatever you want, as long as it is still within the scope of the law.

He reached out to get the orange juice, but it was empty. When I looked around, I saw that the orange juice had been taken by another person and drunk.

"You've been lying here all morning." Tina drops the cup on the floor, and the robot immediately picks it up and sends it to the kitchen to be sterilized and recycled by a special machine.

"What the hell are you thinking? Those weird groups don't make sense to make things, you know everything and all the feelings; Everything you can think of and can't think of can be found and ..... in the virtual world," Andy sighed frustratedly.

"That's why I'm bored, and even if the virtual things are real, I will subconsciously tell myself that they are all fake." Tina glanced at him.

"Your thinking is very dangerous, according to the law, only those who are over 90 years old or have permission due to special physical conditions can upload consciousness, and after uploading consciousness, they will no longer be legally recognized as human beings and have permanent memory correction, you will forever become a part of the virtual world, and continue to live in the form of a string of virtual data in the Ark server independent of the real world." Andy felt a little excited.

"If you lived in a world like that, it would be a little more fun than it is now...," Tina scoffed.

"You don't want the perfect real world, but you want to go to the crippled virtual world? Do you know what kind of environment is in the virtual world? It is a blessing that there may be dangerous beasts everywhere, thugs fighting each other, aliens in outer space that can shoot star destroyers at the Earth at any time, and countless diseases and endless wars that plague people's lives, those things have long ceased to exist in the real world. Hearing these words, Andy couldn't help but start to suffer a little again, but he suddenly thought of a question.

"Didn't Diana not allow all violence? Why can you bite me before? Tina gave that terrible smirk.

"Why? You can guess ....." Andy shook his head, presumably she had quietly taken advantage of some kind of loophole, and she seemed to be enjoying it.... Andy didn't care about it, he paid more attention to the small ritual promoted by the Internet celebrity, he said that some people can feel more from these illusions, which means that this person does not actually belong to this world, and behind this lies the truth of the world that Diana does not want to tell others.

As he thought so, Tina's voice suddenly came.

"Oh, by the way, that guy has been convicted of violating the law, and now he can no longer be promoted through the media, and the drug has been banned, it is estimated that it will not be long before the trial result will be issued, and that kind of person will end up being forced to be locked in a virtual warehouse forever, physically cutting off the possibility of him returning to reality." Andy felt a little uncomfortable, and sure enough, Tina had already handed the jar of pills to a robot.

"As for this, you don't need it now, I'm not going to continue to watch you make mistakes." He hurried over and tried to negotiate the pill back, but Tina didn't agree at all, and instead she began to scratch her head.

"Are you quite refreshed today, not always lethargic as you used to. You know what? I played a fun game in the simulator this morning, and I really had a lot of fun playing with a room of beautiful men, but it wasn't really like playing, was it? Come.... Closer to me...."Looking at the person in front of him, Andy couldn't think about anything else for the time being, and he walked into the room with Tina, who was already impatiently pestering him.
