"Fuck! Khat? Coconuts? Nuts? Pine nuts? Camels, cattle and sheep. Is this a farmer's market?" Wang Xiang's face was a little dark. The oil country is really full of oil except for deserts. It is hopelessly rich, but it is also barren. It has to make people despair.
Such a country cannot establish its own independent industrial system. Without this system, the country will be rich but not strong, and the people will not even be able to protect their own security.
Surprisingly, Chen Xiao actually accepted these things as a substitute for the rice knife.
"Put away the thinking of the old era. Rice knives, oil and even gold are no longer hard currencies. Only Changtian's products are hard currencies. It's useless for us to ask for foreign exchange. From now on, the world will have to use Xia's currency. Settlement, because Xia Guo’s currency is anchored to Changtian’s products!” Chen Xiao said with confidence.
Although Chen Xiao accepts the specialties of oil countries, the model is to allow more people to participate in such business links by promoting private international trade.
These specialties will not be converted into the amount of money purchased for Changtian products, but it will be decided based on the cooperative attitude who can get the biochip first, and how the supply and price will be discounted.
This is the big picture. In this way, Changtian has always maintained a high degree of consistency with Xia State's strategic policies, allowing the people to benefit.
On the other side, there is the issue of ore and resources. Even if Changtian can buy them, how much will he need? There is a huge demand for so many industries in the country. If Changtian opens the door for cooperation, Xia Guo will follow up. In this way, all parties will win-win.
"I need some oil. It is still useful before it is completely eliminated. Iron ore and copper ore are so barren. Uranium ore? There is actually uranium ore?" Wang Xiang was surprised to find that a country has uranium ore, and it is relatively rich. That kind of person immediately made a decision: "Your country will be the first to supply biochips, I said so!"
The representative of the Kazakh Kingdom was full of excitement. It was located in a very awkward place. It was between the Xia Kingdom and the Mao Xiong Kingdom, and next to it was the Imperial Cemetery. Over the years, the United States had bled the Mao Xiong Kingdom and supported terrorist activities here. area.
The last time there was a riot in Almaty, Mao Xiong quickly sent out troops and suppressed it in one day.
But this kind of thing cannot happen often. Kazakhstan needs its own elite troops to stabilize its own situation. If big countries intervene many times, what prestige does this authority have?
Moreover, it often requires the intervention of major powers, and the upper echelons of the authorities will be replaced.
The country of Kazakhstan has achieved very good results in many anti-terrorism exercises, but those are all fake. It knows its own affairs. If it is really so powerful, there will be no fire in the back garden.
"And me, don't forget me, I also have some uranium and plutonium mines!" The oil tycoons went crazy and tried their best to take out their chips.
"Isn't it? How can you have plutonium ore and uranium ore? The production areas of such nuclear materials are not in oil countries, but Kazakhstan knows that there is." Wang Xiang was a little unconvinced.
"Well, there are some in the desert of our country, not many, so just trade them."
"Yes, we also picked up some in the desert."
Wang Xiang thought for a moment and looked at the expressions of the oil tycoons, and his CPU suddenly became unblocked.
Nima, are there some? Picked up some? This group of people simply secretly developed nuclear weapons to establish a country, but due to technical reasons, they failed to develop them.
Of course, this does not rule out that they themselves have nuclear materials, but they have just kept it secret and not announced it to the public. However, there is definitely another possibility, which is to trade some on the black market and store it back. After so many years, the local tycoons have not developed nuclear weapons, and they cannot use them for research, so many of them are idle.
Now that this group of people saw that the effect of biochips was fast and direct, they simply gave up the idea of developing nuclear weapons and replaced them with biochips to eliminate hidden dangers. As for nuclear materials, as long as you have money, you can still buy them on the black market.
Wang Xiang's face twitched and he complained: "We picked up nuclear materials in the desert. Why didn't you say that you picked up mushrooms?"
At this time, a voice came over: "Young hero, are you talking about Sha?"
At this moment, Wang Xiang felt that he was really done with it. It was said that a rich country picked up mushrooms in the desert. It turned out that this thing was true.
In short, with the support of strategic-level materials, the oil tycoons have received a promise from Changtian Technology to deliver the goods as long as they are delivered. If the Xia Kingdom cannot enter, they will be sent to South Africa. Anyway, there are industries everywhere and they can be used.
Those oil and gas tycoons have even raised the hope of taking back all the places they lost in the Middle East war. Before, a group of people attacked Israel and were killed in return. It is really shameful to say that.
Once biochips are available, these Arab countries can unite and put pressure on Israel. Before a large-scale war can begin, it is still possible to send elites to cause trouble for other countries in Israel.
The oil countries are very dissatisfied with the current situation. For the oil they produce, the oil price should be determined by OPEC. This thing was established under the auspices of the United States. Isn't this nonsense? This is why the Oil Country is getting closer and closer to the Xia Kingdom, and even started the Xia Kingdom's currency settlement of oil transactions.
For Changtian Technology, whoever buys it is actually the same, whoever supplies it is the supplier, and it depends on who has the best bargaining chip, and will be given priority. Those biochips transplanted by foreigners all exist as human brain servers. The more people there are, the larger and faster the data can be processed, and the mental burden on each person will not be so heavy.
Wang Xiang was very busy in charge of external affairs. Chen Xiao was communicating with Qu Ping at this time. It was a verbal communication, not a physical communication.
Today's biochips have been developed into the second generation, codenamed Pangu 2.0. The performance of this generation's products has been greatly improved.
With a smaller size and lower cost, the computing power is more powerful, and it can even completely simulate human thinking and emotional logic. If a person talks to a biochip, he or she does not even know that the person on the other side is a biochip.
As a customer, a biochip will know how to listen better, understand the key points of the conversation, stand from the customer's perspective, and understand the customer's needs. This kind of communication ability is more awesome than the most expensive cowherd in the world, and it eats away at the human psychology. .
"This ability to simulate human thinking and emotional logic has a broader prospect, which is to assist in the treatment of autistic people." Chen Xiao also became serious at this time.
Qu Ping nodded, autism is an extremely serious problem. Many people associate autism with words such as genius, but that definitely glorifies the disease. For the vast majority of families, autism is only pain, not genius.
Only a small group of people are geniuses, and they need help from their families throughout their lives. They cannot live a normal life, do not understand self-care, and do not understand normal human emotions.
For autism, the outside world is a world of single transmission. They will only actively receive what they want to know and what they are interested in, and then they will not be able to receive other information.
So we see that many autistic patients cannot even speak, are immersed in their own world, are often frightened, laugh at every turn, and are incompatible with the outside world.
The biochip version 2.0 just simulates normal human thinking for the brain, guiding such people to start from a normal human perspective and slowly become normal. Although no experiments have been done, it should not be a big problem. It depends on the acceptance of the patient's family.
"Nowadays, biochips have adopted the cell totipotent type, which means that the biochip does not wear out. After the old cells die, new cells will take over and continue to work. The biochip will be updated with the renewal of the body, and will not There is a problem of decreased efficacy due to aging." Qu Ping continued to report.
"At the same time, it also means achieving the goal of complete immortality in the virtual world."
"Yes!"
When all human consciousness is injected into a small biochip, then his consciousness can exist in the biochip. How to support it? Only the original body tissue can be used to form a perfect cycle. A small box and a pool of "mother body" nutrient solution can make people's consciousness immortal.
If possible, such a custody service could even be provided, pending the improvement of physical resurrection technology.
Chen Xiao once watched a science fiction short film. After human beings have evolved to a certain level, they no longer need the physical body. Many people condense their consciousness into a "core" and put it in a box. The outside is managed by a small number of people and machines.
Today's Changtian Technology already has such conditions.
Thinking about such a future is exciting. It is always a pity when some chosen people die. Just imagine, if Einstein was immortalized and people like Mr. Qian always existed, then how scientific research would be prosper.
Moreover, there are also some extremely important academic experts who passed away unexpectedly, which makes people sigh. For example, monsters like Galois and Turing.
Chen Xiao was a little excited when he thought that countless smart talents would play a role. What would happen if the DNA of the deceased Daniel could be extracted and then resurrected?
But the most difficult issue right now is the ethical issue.
As the saying goes, everyone is equal before death. Human birth, aging, illness and death are natural phenomena. Now this phenomenon has been cut off. Now this generation still has room to put boxes, but what about the future?
Are there still so many places on earth to put boxes?
In the past, the operation of Luoying Town was purely based on the computing power of the server. There were not many people living in it, so the computing pressure was not great. In the future, as more people enter, the computing power of super servers may not be enough. The living people will have to share their brainpower.
Note that not only foreigners have to contribute, but people from Xia State also have to contribute their brain power.
If you have descendants, it shouldn't be a big problem to contribute your brainpower to your ancestors. But what about those who have no descendants? Who wants to contribute to a stranger? This is equivalent to finding a father and an uncle for yourself.
Again! If this lineage is not strong and there are only a few people left, can these few people be able to handle the calculations of dozens or even hundreds of ancestors?
"Actually, I think if there are ancestors, they will definitely continue to urge marriages, and then young people will get married and have children, and the population should be increasing." Qu Ping covered her mouth and smiled, and Chen Xiao's words were quite funny.
Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly: "You are not young this year. Are you obedient?"
"I won't be sleepy if you say this. When will you?" Qu Ping looked at him with a half-smile.
"Ahem! Where did you just say it? By the way, it's... it's..." Chen Xiao was interrupted and was a little lost. The affairs of these outstanding women, Qu Ping and Shen Wei, really made him difficult. deal with.
Seeing Chen Xiao's embarrassment, Qu Ping didn't tease him too much. He couldn't help teasing him and was still timid.
"I just mentioned that there are not enough boxes and people, and there will be a shortage of computing power."
"Well, that's right. How do you think we should solve it?"
"It's hard to say, because we haven't encountered this dilemma yet. If it continues to develop, maybe we will have a better solution."
"You are so irresponsible, how could you not think it over carefully?"
Who knows, Qu Ping looked into Chen Xiao's eyes and said seriously: "Many things don't need to be done carefully before doing it, but just do it. We will solve the problem after we encounter it. At that time, even if we fail, , at least we tried.”
Chen Xiao did not dare to look directly into Qu Ping's eyes. The best thing this woman talked about was the issue of virtual immortality.
"Okay then! It's still the old way, try it first, then promote it, and innovate the technology at the same time. Maybe by then, we will leave the earth and immigrate to other planets."
"I trust you."
Chen Xiao finally decided to withdraw from the function of virtual immortality. In his view, the universe created human beings and gave them thinking and consciousness, allowing everyone to exist independently, and everyone's creativity is different. This is how the world So colorful.
If human consciousness is allowed to continue to exist, to what extent civilization will reach and what direction it will take are what Chen Xiao is eager to know.
Many times, human beings live a boring life because they spend most of their energy making a living and have no energy to explore and think. Now that survival needs are met, to what extent will human creativity be stimulated?
Maybe a person on the assembly line suddenly created a great theorem and had a great idea.
After deciding to move things forward, the next step is to discuss measures. If two people can't decide on the details, they must at least set the general direction.
"Virtual immortality must fully respect everyone's wishes. Some people want to live, and some people don't necessarily want to live. If someone feels that eternal life is boring and cannot find fun and wants to end their life, then the user's wishes must be followed." Qu Ping spoke first. It's not surprising that there are still people in this world who want euthanasia.
"There are such people? It's better to die than to live. The virtual world is so interesting. If I weren't too busy with work, I wouldn't want to come out."
"Some people's lives are not going well and they are alone. If they don't have family or friends around them, it is indeed more uncomfortable. There are also people who can't love you. Isn't it uncomfortable enough to watch the person you like live with someone else forever?"
"That's... right."
