New Advantages

 Seeing everyone's hesitant expressions when thinking, Zhang Yuan further explained: "I can't eat now because there is no such function integrated in the bionic body. We have abandoned biological cells now. If we really want to To enjoy food, you need to install a gastric function similar to an incinerator inside the body, which is a difficulty with current technology..."

 A high-temperature incinerator not only requires space, but also requires the design of a series of protective devices. The safety risks are inevitably greater; if it is a bionic biological stomach, the bionic structure needs to be redesigned, and superhuman energy is not required at all. To supply food, a few nuclear power batteries can provide power for decades or hundreds of years, so it is not appropriate to install a bionic digestive system.

 "So, it seems a bit uneconomical to stuff a huge thing into the body just for eating, so I haven't done it for the time being. If someone is willing to engage in research in this area in the future, it may be possible."

 "The same is true about sleep. NT New Humanity has abandoned the neuron brain and adopted a carbon-based biological brain. So you will never be tired, and sleep is usually not needed. However, we have also made a similar function , if you really want to sleep, sleep can be achieved."

 "After waking up from sleep, there will be some slight pleasure. This pleasure is similar to solving some small problems."

 The host asked again: "So Professor Zhang, has humankind's most instinctive love also been abandoned?"

 This is also a point that everyone is very concerned about. Love is an innate desire of human beings, which involves the instinct of reproduction. If a person's urge to reproduce is given up, it is actually difficult for many young people to accept it.

 Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Love is not as stable as family and friendship, so it has been weakened to a certain extent. In fact, I don't want young people to transform into superhuman beings under impulse."

 "When you are young, you should fall in love, play, study, understand more things, and experience all kinds of life. After that, a person can better understand himself, which takes a long time."

 "The reason why superhumans are called superhumans is because after fully understanding themselves, they choose to become a better version of themselves! The thinking modules and spiritual qualities in them need to be chosen by oneself, not by others. If a person If you can't even recognize it yourself, how can you choose these modules?"

 "As for the desire to reproduce...let's put it this way, we have also made a module that can adjust the strength of this desire."

 Thinking module is a new term recognized by the general public.

 Don't want to eat, don't want to work, don't want to sleep, feel bored doing experiments, just load thinking modules on themselves, and that's it, there are no side effects... Some middle-aged men who originally had a declining desire suddenly seemed to think of something and became a little Ready to move.

 "This kind of thinking module seems to be very useful..."

 "And the endurance ability of the bionic body is not comparable to that of the human body... Hehe..."

 "I just wonder, will these features really be needed by then?"

 "Being a better version of yourself sounds pretty good... that's right, not everyone can change directly."

 Many people in the public watching TV and live broadcasts are chatting in various ways in private. After this explanation, they were not disgusted with this matter. Instead, they felt that they could completely control their own thoughts, which was a pretty good feature.

 Controlling yourself is a very difficult task in itself.

 On the TV show, the host asked again: "Do you think the superhuman model has reached the fifth-level civilization standard?"

 Zhang Yuan was silent for a while before explaining: "We have discussed this issue within our laboratory and have written some papers about it. We generally believe that from an ideological level, superhumans have reached the standards of a fifth-level civilization, that is, In the case of almost eternal life, he can resist sinking and refuse to indulge in vulgar enjoyment for a long time."

 "To give a simple example, some ordinary games are not as interesting to us as doing the questions; we will not keep ingesting fragmented and useless information... Of course, very good games can still bring For pleasure."

 "For another example, the creator mode in the virtual world has extremely high psychological addiction, which is the main reason for the decline of the human branch of the Brilliant Galaxy. But for superhumans, this temptation can be well controlled. It has become an ingenious scientific research tool, and this tool has already passed the test in the Unreal Laboratory."

 "Creator Mode?!" The host's voice rose slightly and he couldn't help but repeat it. For many older generations, this is a term that is like a nightmare. They can still recall the scene when they discovered the sinking of the branch of the Brilliant Galaxy.

 It is impossible for original human beings to reject the "Creator Mode". Entering a world where almost all your wishes come true will cause permanent damage to your thinking mode as long as you enter it once.

 But now there is no big problem. This is indeed very big, an unimaginable progress.

 Zhang Yuan continued: "As for technological progress, it will take time to accumulate. We remain optimistic about it. As you know, the real old level five civilization may have entered this field tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years earlier than us. This state... The accumulation of this time may have reached a qualitative change that cannot be smoothed out."

 "Of course, the final result of the superhuman project remains to be seen, and the loopholes in the thinking also need time to be tested. I do not advocate blindly expanding experiments. Our civilization has been cautiously reaching this point for several decades. It's time. Everyone can afford to wait, and so can we."

 The next step is a debate competition among student groups. The debate topics mainly include, "Should the original identity of human beings be abandoned?" "How should human beings be defined?" "Will the future be led by humans or superhumans?" and other topics.

 These back-and-forth debates have been repeated countless times, and there are only a few core viewpoints for the pros and cons. Zhang Yuan actually doesn't have much interest.

 However, most of the audience still liked to listen to these gossips, and the students also debated fiercely, with everyone excited and blushing.

 After all, everything is related to their future.

 A future that looks bright but also carries a hint of uncertainty.
