Demand for Power

 Yamamoto recorded everything. He turned his head and shouted at all the workers: "Now the priority is to solve the abnormal defects of the remaining eight test subjects. You first check the research results of Professor Zhang. If there are no mistakes, this will be the new NT human being." The first crystallization of wisdom!"

 "Let's make history together..."

 Time passed slowly. Three days later, the nine first batch of experimenters all entered a state of accelerated thinking of 50-200 and began to communicate with each other.

 In this virtual space, everyone maintains their original appearance and tone, so it is not difficult to recognize each other.

 "It seems that our aesthetics have not changed much. Professor Zhang, I think you are still quite handsome." said a female superhuman, her name is Sui Jing, a well-known network expert.

 Zhang Yuandao: "Thank you for your compliment. Do you feel that this kind of conversational communication mode is very unsatisfactory?"

 "Yes, after the acceleration of thinking, the amount of information in the conversation mode is too small, and it can almost be abandoned... It is difficult to transmit a large amount of information in a short time just by sound. In the future, we will have to use electromagnetic waves to communicate directly and find a way to develop it. Right. Typing on the screen is too slow. The brainwave Internet that was developed before can be used."

 "I think the language can also be changed... The current language is too slow to communicate and has too many ambiguities. It can be changed to the language of Gaia civilization."

 Gaia civilization is indeed very convenient. It can be used by low-level civilizations and can also be used by high-level civilizations. In the past, people thought that this language had many structures, which were somewhat inexplicable. In fact, only after speeding up thinking did they understand the beauty of them.

 Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "Don't change the language for the time being. This is our cultural system."

 "Is everyone satisfied with the current status? Have any research results been produced?"

 "When there were a lot of loopholes in the beginning, I felt like a lunatic, but now it's pretty good and I'm quite satisfied... I recently wrote a paper... Huh?"

 As a result, this guy showed a state of dementia again as he talked, and the loopholes in his thinking appeared again. The experts who were watching outside the virtual world were in a panic and were busy fixing his loopholes.

 "Warning, there is an unknown defect in Laboratory 3!"

 "Hurry up and get your thinking speed back to normal!"

 "Notify Professor Zhang!"

 Because except this time, the communication between superhuman beings was suspended, Zhang Yuan shook his head and sighed. They are also superhumans, so there is no obstacle to communication, but the traditional communication method has too little information and has become an obstacle.

 "New communication tools will have to be developed in the future."

 People are very careful about their ideologies, and it's very difficult to hide their lies in a virtual world.

 Except for some minor flaws in some individuals, most of the spiritual qualities of superhuman beings are upgraded versions of humans!

 Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are too few observation samples. Unreal Labs is still repairing the loopholes, and Zhang Yuan has even helped the experimenters to complete most of the engineering work.

 In this way, time passes slowly...

 New reports are generated every day. According to simple statistics, the working ability of each new NT human being exceeds the ability of 600 top experts!

 Yes, not 200, but 600!

 Because normal people are very tired after 8 hours of high-intensity mental work a day. They need to rest, relax, and eat and drink. But superhumans don't feel tired and can work 24 hours a day. This is not much different from robots. the difference.

 A day is three times the working hours... This is the intelligence of a top expert!

 It is simply impossible for the new human civilization to have 600 top experts in a certain small-scale professional field. Intellectual output is not linear. One top expert may be worth 10 ordinary experts; one ordinary expert may be worth 10 postdoctoral fellows in related fields.

 In other words, the knowledge output of the nine new NT humans is already comparable to a total of 5,400 top experts from all walks of life!

 After the news spread, the senior members of the Science Council were shocked and ecstatic at first, and then shocked and numb later. Some people were worried, and some were already eager to transform themselves.

 This is just 9 people. What if it expands to 100 people, 1,000 people, a million people, or even the entire civilization in the future? !

 How big of a change will this be?

 Becoming a level five civilization seems to be just around the corner!

 Of course, there are still many problems that need to be solved. The first and biggest point is how to explain this problem to the public: humans and NT new humans are different after all.

 This kind of qualitative change is equivalent to dying once and resurrecting, forcibly changing human beings into another species. Can they accept it?

 "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. Although we feel good about ourselves in this current state, we still need more observation..."

 Zhang Yuan also participated in this scientific meeting. His virtual image stood in the center of the table, explaining his recent thinking.

 However, he has now lost the ability to vote, and what he said can only be used as suggestions.

 "...We need to test more scenarios, not just research. Although in work scenarios, NT new humans can adapt well and have a sense of accomplishment at work, but what about other scenarios? For example, social interaction Scenarios, diplomatic scenarios, encounters with the Sinker civilization, encounters with more powerful civilizations, or all aspects of life... We all need to test these to avoid loopholes in thinking."

 "As for the number of people in the experiment, I think it can be slightly expanded, but it cannot be more than 500 people for the time being."

 This kind of thinking adjustment experiment is very difficult. Since everyone's native thinking is different, it can basically be said to be tailor-made. What risks there will be in the future is unknown to humans.

 Even if there is no problem with Zhang Yuan himself, maybe there will be problems with others. These vulnerabilities must be completely patched before widespread use, otherwise Unreal Labs will be too busy. If the problem is not solved for a long time, it is the difficulty that leads to death.

 "Professor Zhang, I have a question. This question is very important. Please answer it carefully."

 At this time, a vice-captain cleared his throat and spoke solemnly: "If the transformation experiment has indeed been successful, why should the NT New Human beings, as an evolution of human beings and a more perfect species, listen to the past? Where's the human command?"

 "This is a political issue and a power struggle issue."

 "I mean, why should we use the thinking mode of past humans and the perfection that humans currently think of as the standard for new species? Have you ever thought that NT new humans need to have higher power in order to make our civilization Produce a faster rate of progress?"

 This problem is also the so-called "anti-human tendency" in the eyes of normal people.

 The new NT humans have demonstrated their powerful intelligence, abilities and potential, far leaving normal humans behind...

 But have the new NT humans created a series of power needs? Now for the sake of safety, Zhang Yuan himself has no right to vote, let alone decision-making power. In the long run, will there be conflicts between the two parties?

 This is inevitable, just like it is impossible for smart humans to obey the instructions of stupid monkeys. When a new species is born out of an old species, it is impossible to let the old species plan all aspects of the future.

 The core thinking of NT New Humanity is to promote the progress of civilization through curiosity. Under normal circumstances, it will not conflict with the old species.

 But if the existence of old humanity blocks this progress, the conflicts between the two sides will intensify.

 This is caused by core concepts and irreconcilable contradictions, which will inevitably lead to a struggle for power.
