Unreliable Plan

Think about it, if a person can retire early after working for 100 years or 200 years, instead of the current retirement age being 70% of the average life expectancy, then people's grievances will not be so great.

Zhang Yuan changed the topic, his eyes seemed to pass through the corridor of time, and fell on everyone present. : "But I am here, and I implore the next captains and leaders of various departments to prevent the implementation of this plan. Any bills about the virtual world must be cautious and careful."

All the generals and leaders in the meeting room are all representatives of the direct descendants of the New Civilization School. After hearing these words, they all froze for a moment, and then looked at the female captain.

None of them had watched this video in advance, perhaps it was confidential information that only the captain could have access to.

The female captain has been opposing this plan in some previous meetings...

At first they didn't understand why they objected, but after some thinking, they gradually understood.

Sure enough, Zhang Yuan smiled and explained: "Why? Because virtual world technology is a black technology. Do you really think that we have fully controlled it?"

"We have developed a huge number of virtual worlds, carried out the Extraordinary Project, and even screened some talents in the virtual world. It seems that we have made good use of this technology..."

"Are we really in full control of it?"

"My answer is: no."

"Many, many people are still tempted by it. Our social ideology has shifted a lot, and we are not even afraid of death."

"For our population in the past, the standard for entering the virtual world was: when the body is aging to the limit, it can only enter the virtual world when it reaches a certain medical standard. This is a common cognition developed in long-term practice, and it has been used by the general public. , is also their basic cognition."

"Humans are cowardly and cowardly creatures. If they don't live well in this life, they will look forward to the next life. They think that the next life will be more satisfactory. This is also the attraction of many religions."

"Our virtual world technology has the same purpose."

"Therefore, some people played their own cleverness. They gave up their longevity plans and spent their lives doing nothing in this way, in order to enter the virtual world as soon as possible. In our era, they are called ' Outcasts', or simply 'The Lost Ones'."

"I believe that in your era, there are still such people, and there are quite a few of them."

At this time, everyone was staring at the screen intently, and their breathing seemed to be stagnant.

What Zhang Yuan said is correct. In this era, such a population is indeed much more than before.

"However, the purpose of our human beings is to finally enter the virtual world? Absolutely not, that's just the 'sinking civilization' that we despise. So we must establish a greater goal to reject the virtual world temptation."

"In the long past, many MPs have proposed relaxing the relevant standards. There are some proposals that are actually very attractive, such as long-term vacations in the virtual world."

"Or stuff the population into the virtual world, abandon the physical body, and take it away, so that you don't need to endure the aging of the population...It sounds very good."

"But those proposals were judged very harshly by us and rejected."

"If you can change a little today, you can change a little tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, if you change a little, the principle will no longer be a principle."

"The long river of time can infinitely magnify any butterfly effect, so that in the distant future, a huge storm that we cannot resist is formed. It is impossible for a single great man to stop this storm! The only thing we can do is at the source Stop this storm from forming."

"So, this standard is a matter of principle. It is a matter of principle that has been practiced in the face of black technology for a long time. It should not be simply changed!"

Zhang Yuan said word by word: "Even if you are living a very difficult life now, you must stick to your principles!"

All the people present looked bitter, and then sighed. They have still achieved this one so far.

There have been proposals for that...

However, in the meeting, it was not approved.

Putting a large number of people into the virtual world, discarding their bodies, and taking them away in packages sounds simple and easy, and it solves the population problem and the problem of insufficient transportation in the future.

Actually? It is to cover up a small trouble with a big trouble.

This is easy to understand. First of all, it is an ethical issue: Are the people who enter the virtual world dead or alive?

Many people think that these people are still alive, so after arriving at the destination, these people will be released again and hatched again from fertilized eggs, which is equivalent to changing a younger body.

However, the right to return to youth in the real world should only be possessed by elites who have passed the extraordinary examination.

Why do ordinary people have it?

Some people say that special circumstances should be treated specially. These people have struggled for such a long time, and it is nothing to regain their youth. The extra life span is just a special case.

But in fact, no one can guarantee that the so-called "special case" will only happen once.

When the rejuvenated population accounts for half or even the majority of the total population, society will change. What will they think when they are old again? Will they continue to demand exceptions and return to youth?

Do they conform to the ideology of the Transcendent?

How strong will this political force be, and what adverse effects will it bring?

This is the so-called big trouble in the future to cover up the small trouble in front of you, which is an unwise choice. People are getting through it now, but the future is going to be troublesome.

The same goes for the policy of using virtual worlds to offer people long-term vacations, because it's hard to get the balance right. Now the quota for each adult is 15 days per year. Once it is opened to 30 days or 40 days, the sense of happiness will indeed increase, but who knows what kind of troubles will arise later?

Zhang Yuan was silent for a while in the video, and said: "On the other hand, the plan of rapidly iterating the population is in conflict with our future longevity plan."

"We humans must adapt to a longer and longer life cycle in order to better adapt to this universe, instead of suffering a little setback or misfortune, we hide in the virtual world and start a new life."

"The reason why the average life expectancy of human beings is controlled at 500 years is because the current ideology of human society cannot adapt to the increasing life expectancy. The marriage system is almost abandoned, but we have not yet found a more stable social system."

"Actually, according to the current level of technology, the average life expectancy can be improved a little bit. I believe you all know that."

"Introducing the population into the virtual world in advance is equivalent to greatly shortening the average life span of human beings. It is tantamount to abandoning the 'Longevity Seed Training Program', picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons..."

"Everyone wants to enter the virtual world to enjoy it in advance, how should we develop later? What if we become a level 4 civilization? What can a level 4 civilization with a lifespan of 500 years do?"

"People generally work in the virtual world for one or two hundred years. Once social trends and habits are formed, how should this kind of thinking be reversed in the future? It's very difficult, so just don't make such an opening."

Zhang Yuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "So, friends in the future, in order to deal with future crises, since we can't directly put the aging population into the virtual world, and we can't iterate the population quickly, what should we do? What? There's only one other route: let the people who want to leave leave."
