Deep Space Fleet

There was no discussion in the office for a while.

Zhang Yuan's plan is not only a bit unbelievable, it can even be said to be a bit evil!

Send all members of a civilization into the virtual world...

And the other party is willing? This thought made people shudder, and even he himself felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuan bit the bullet and explained: "If you are in that... state for a long time, you will definitely have different thoughts. Life is no longer fun, and your thoughts are controlled by drugs. Except for that moment of climax, you will be powerless to do anything. Even its own existence itself is not important..."

"In this case, if there is a world where you can choose the life you want, and it is given a new meaning, why not enter it? So what if it is virtual? If you can't tell the difference between virtual and real, Just think of it as real.”

"Of course, all this is just the result of my calculations. But I believe that this kind of inference is the final choice of a civilization that has fallen into the entertainment trap... If we really develop this technology, this deal, if we deliberately There is a high probability that it can be achieved with the help of others.”

People have received extremely precious information in the transactions of the past few days - about the history of Gliese civilization, accurate to a certain year and a certain day, and what some great people did!

Each historical node is divided into a large catalog of hundreds of pages. Whether it is the original scientists, professors at the university, or even some graduate students, all participated in this work.

The history of new civilization is not just mathematics or prediction science, it is also a management discipline about civilization. It should not be controlled only by a few people.

If 10%, or even only 5%, of the entire civilization believes in this subject, understands its specific connotation, knows how to calculate, and strictly abides by its instructions, then... it can basically be said that the dream of the entire school has been realized, and the entire civilization will Possess strong self-adjustment ability and the driving force for spontaneous improvement.

"According to calculations, it is indeed easy for the Gliese people to follow this path." A professor scratched his hair and muttered to himself.

A civilization, apart from being destroyed by external forces due to natural and man-made disasters, or self-destructing due to certain technologies, has only two real endings!

First, it is the road to the stars and the sea that develops outward.

Second, it is the "brain in a vat" path of inward development.

The reason for the formation of the first end point is very simple, that is, what they, the top human beings, are yearning for now, to ensure a low-entropy form of civilization for a long time, with the power to keep moving forward...

Then, we can only go to the boundless sea of ​​stars. In the boundless universe, there are always new things, greater ideas, and more powerful civilizations...

The reasons for the formation of the second end point are very complicated, and they are all kinds and thousands!

Perhaps it is like the Gliese civilization, which is controlled by drugs, so that the entire civilization ideology is completely abandoned, and it is no longer possible to develop upwards; or perhaps it is like the earth's civilization, which has long-term class solidification and no vitality; or perhaps it is What kind of natural or man-made disaster happened...

Or perhaps, the virtual world is so beautiful that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false...

As the saying goes, the road to progress always leads to the same destination through different paths, but there are countless ways to fall. As long as development is stagnant, it is easy to slowly move towards the second end.

This is the trend of the entire era, so Zhang Yuan came up with such a plan.

This solution has many benefits for mankind. There is no need to worry about wars and racial conflicts anymore, and people can get the "Universal Factory" and get a lot of data on consciousness uploading!

Putting aside consciousness uploading, how powerful are 13 universal factories?

Based on the current information, a universal factory is more than enough to feed 20 million Gliese people!

This kind of powerful industrial capability surpasses the technology of earth civilization. It is impossible not to be tempted. Moreover, Captain Zhao and Zhang Yuan are confident that mankind will not be led by the omnipotent factory and repeat the mistakes of the Gliese civilization.

But the people in Goel City asked for too high a price, and wanted a star-class spaceship in exchange. It was impossible for other cities to agree to such a trade request. Therefore, if humans really wanted these universal factories, they would have no choice but to use war to plunder them. Besides, this is the only way to save the country through curves...

But there are also many people who hold objections because this plan is really weird. Even if there is no need to consider ethics and morality between civilizations...but these things still constrain human beings.

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head gently, and suddenly felt that the current civilizational ideology also had its own flaws. If he were a capitalist on earth, he would have just ignored it, rolled up his sleeves, and started working.

He said: "Every life has its own comfort zone. It is too difficult to get out of the comfort zone and go to the sea of ​​stars... Sometimes I also want to be safe and sound in this star field. Stay stable for a lifetime, forever.”

"An interstellar journey lasting three thousand years is really a torture."

"Many of us no longer have such courage, and we are likely to remain idle on this planet..."

This gray-haired, somewhat elderly captain always has a courageous, strong and decisive attitude in front of others.

But in private, he sometimes shows confusion and cowardice.

Yes, after all, humans are not steel. Even steel will suffer from metal fatigue, not to mention ordinary humans?

After arriving on this alien planet, the pressure was too great, both internally and externally.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "That's right... Our group of people have slowly smoothed their minds. Most of them don't have the ambitions of the past to make another three-thousand-year journey." Everyone prefers to stay on this planet and not take risks. "

"Human beings are creatures born from the earth. Deep in their genes, they cannot fully adapt to the universe... If they are timid and constrain themselves because of the morality they have formulated, even if they have a good chance, they will not be able to adapt to the universe. Will slip away quietly..."

"To be honest, as a civilization, there is really no way for us to directly deal with such suspected black technologies as consciousness uploading and virtual worlds. We must have a civilization to explore the way ahead...otherwise, we might as well give up."

Everyone fell silent and began to make the final choice...

The stakes have been made very clear. What room for rejection is there?

Half an hour later, the results came out.

This plan was approved!
