There is a difference between artificial womb technology and surrogacy, and the ethical issues involved between the two are not on the same level.
Surrogacy is illegal and seriously violates current ethics.
Artificial uterus technology is much better.
Seeing Fan Xiaoming finish speaking, Zuo Dajun quickly said: "We must strengthen supervision. If this is relaxed, it will be a disaster. This is related to us humans. Using gene editing technology to edit human genes is alienating humans. As time goes by, new humans will appear, which means that humans will have differences in body and ability, and humans will inevitably differentiate. For us old humans, it is estimated that we will be eliminated. Elimination means to extinction.”
Bao Qi nodded and said, "Yes! From our point of view, are new humans still human beings? We need to strengthen the current human group. Even if new humans do appear in the future, we old humans can still rely on numbers. Take advantage, otherwise there is only one ending, destruction."
It’s shuddering to think about the current human beings being replaced by new human beings in the future.
In his opinion, the new humans are no longer the current humans.
In this way, it is inevitable that the new humanity and the old humanity will differentiate, and war will ensue.
Since there has been a war, it means that the old humans and the new humans are evenly matched in terms of strength, otherwise there would not have been a war.
Win! The old humanity continues to dominate the destiny of mankind, defeated! The new humanity will redefine humanity, and the old humanity will either completely perish or be kept in captivity.
If you want to avoid such a situation, you must either prevent the emergence of new humans or let the old humans gain absolute advantage.
Otherwise, such a situation is inevitable.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "As long as we don't do anything, it's okay to always have an absolute advantage. We don't need to worry too much, but we have to be cautious every step we take, just like this population increase plan. If someone doesn't pay attention, that's There will be no recovery."
With that said, Fan Xiaoming looked at Xu Zhengping.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "That's right. Every step of this population increase plan has been carefully considered. Rigorous gene editing means that newborns are no different from us, which ensures the purity of human genes.
Then there are the issues of education and where these newborns will go in the future.
In terms of education, the same education as ours will continue, and these children will grow up on the earth. When they reach adulthood, they can choose whether to stay on the earth or go to other human settlements.
Of course, what we advocate is that these newborns leave the earth and go out to explore.
For newborns, whether they are naturally bred or artificially bred, as long as we ensure the purity of human genes and provide good education, other problems will not be a problem.
Ideally, the population increase plan will continue, with the goal of spreading humans like us throughout the universe. "
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
What if the humans who get up attack us in turn? This is not easy to handle! "
Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Education, from the beginning we tell them where they come from, let them be like us, take a step back and say, even if these people attack us, they are more likely to kill us than those non-human beings Intelligent life in the world is much smaller. After all, they are human beings just like us, and after all, their flesh rots in the pot."
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "Yeah! That's all I can think of."
Xu Zhengping said with a smile: "We probably won't see that day. We just need to do the things in front of us. I don't ask too much. I will be at ease if I can go to Proxima Centauri in my lifetime and return to Earth." "
"What! Principal, your requirements are too low. To be honest, at the current rate of development of science and technology, we might be able to live for 51,000 years. If some hibernation technology is developed, we can surpass it. It will take even longer," Zuo Dajun smiled. "To put it simply, it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future. A year ago, we would not have imagined that today would be like this, and we would not dare to think so."
Xu Zhengping nodded and said, "That's right. The details also depend on the development of science and technology. Many things are uncertain, such as super-light speed. Once super-light speed is achieved, many things will change, as well as instantaneous communication. Technology will realize the pattern of the entire universe will change."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and reminded: "It's almost time. Let's go back and continue visiting the space ranch."
A few people nodded and disappeared.
At the same time, the five-person humanoid robot waiting outside the space ranch in Earth orbit opened its eyes at the same time.
A few people moved around for a while, and Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "This real world is more troublesome than the virtual universe. In the real world, you can't teleport, you can't go through walls, and you can't change whatever you want."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Djun, you are overthinking. The real world is the real world, so stop thinking nonsense. It is impossible."
Zuo Dajun said nonchalantly: "This is not necessarily true. It does not necessarily mean that my universe is originally virtual. Our universe was also created by other intelligent life forms. We are the original inhabitants of this virtual universe and we will not be able to break through it for a while. It’s just rules, maybe we can find a loophole and become gods in the real world, just like we are in the virtual universe we created.”
"This... this is really difficult to prove." Bao Qizheng explained, "For example, if we create a virtual universe, we will create digital life and let the digital life become the original inhabitants of the virtual universe. This requires If we don't take the initiative to change anything, without outside intervention, these digital beings will never be able to discover that the universe they live in is virtual, because for these digital beings, their perceptions come from the virtual universe, and they cannot perceive anything else. So the virtual universe we created is the real universe of their digital beings."
"Understood!" Zuo Dajun nodded, "You mean that we will never be able to break through from the inside of our universe. Even if our universe is really virtual, we can only break through from the outside."
Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "That's right, but if we find a loophole in the universe, we can still do whatever we want... I guess it will be difficult to find a loophole, because since our universe exists, it has reached The balance of a certain state and various rules have reached self-consistency, and it is really difficult to find loopholes."
Zuo Dajun said with a smile: "It's hard to come back. It's possible to find loopholes. Then we can be the same as in the virtual universe we created. We can do whatever we want, and we can become real gods."
At the end of the sentence, Zuo Dajun looked at Su Zhe expectantly.
Su Zhe was speechless and smiled and said: "It's hard to say... Of course, it's not impossible as you mentioned. Based on reality, we have to understand the rules of our universe bit by bit. Maybe we can find loopholes, or find loopholes intentionally left by the creator of the universe. Speaking of which, our understanding of the universe is still very one-sided. Many of the rules of the universe are still unknown to us. We will wait until we master more. According to the rules of the universe, maybe we can teleport or something."
Zuo Dajun smiled excitedly, "That's it.
! That means there is still work to be done, that is, we don’t know when we will be able to have god-like existences like we do in the virtual universe. "
Hearing what Zuo Dajun said, the expressions on several people's faces were extremely weird.
Fan Xiaoming coughed and said, "Let's not talk about these things. Let's go into the space ranch to see the artificial womb technology that we have been thinking about... Of course, we will first look at the cows and horses on the ranch, and then go If you look at how artificial womb technology breeds these cows and horses, you can also know what it will be like when artificial womb technology is used on humans."
After Fan Xiaoming finished speaking, the five humanoid bionic robots started moving and accelerated along the circular device rotating in the space ranch.
Soon, the five people stood on the platform at the entrance of the Space Ranch.
After standing still, the five people felt the presence of gravity within a short time.
Zuo Dajun smiled and said: "This feels the same as being on a space farm. Can we only imitate gravity through centripetal force? Besides, haven't you figured out what gravity is yet? And gravity, seriously. , the current basic theories of physics cannot explain gravity at all, and the universal gravitation sounds unreliable."
With that said, Zuo Dajun looked at Su Zhe again.
At this time, the five people entered a confined space under the leadership of the narrator, and then entered a passage.
Su Zhe said with some embarrassment: "This gravity is really hard to explain. To be honest, I don't know. Whether it is gravity or gravitational force, I still don't know what its essence is. Besides, the current basic theories of physics We have reached a bottleneck, it just depends on when we break through. It is foreseeable that once we break through, human civilization will usher in explosive development."
Fan Xiaoming lamented: "I think the current physics theory has reached a dead end, and many phenomena cannot be explained by the current basic theory. Of course, this is also our opportunity, an opportunity for us to develop new physics theories. "
With the improvement of technical means, there are more ways to explore physical rules, and it is possible to understand phenomena that could not be understood in the past.
"Yes! It's a rare opportunity. Once you find it, you will be famous in history. As for me who engages in engineering, there is no such opportunity." Xu Zhengping said.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "This is not necessarily true. As long as you want to do so, principal, it is not too late to learn now. It is not like the past where we mainly relied on words to convey knowledge. Now it is a comprehensive and three-dimensional way of imparting knowledge. To be honest, Well, it is a bit difficult to learn mathematics now. After all, mathematics is still the same abstraction and has little to do with reality. Other subjects are much more convenient. As long as you want to learn, you can learn it quickly. Besides, now with the assistance of the virtual universe, as long as you can When I think of it, a virtual universe can be simulated, and maybe we can make great discoveries by studying it."
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "No, today is different from the past. Whether it is studying or doing research, it is more convenient than before. For example, if you have a new idea, you can confirm whether it is correct or not in a very short time. It is feasible. In the past, it would be affected by many factors. The idea may always remain an idea and there is no condition to confirm it.”
"This is the truth." Zuo Dajun smiled, "For example, when I have new ideas for the transformation of engineering mechas, I can first verify them in the virtual universe, and then verify them in reality. This process may In half a day, or even a few hours, if the virtual universe fails to pass the verification and you feel that the virtual universe is unreliable, you can still verify it in reality, and the time will not be too long. With such efficiency, it would be strange if you are unhappy."
In the past, cost was always a consideration when validating ideas.
Now as long as it's not too outrageous, we basically don't consider the cost issue.
After all, we now have the manpower and material resources to do this.
Before liberation, resources and energy were insufficient. It would be nice to have enough food, but we still had to do these things.
Things are different now, and there is no shortage of resources and energy.
Bao Qi nodded, "I have a deep understanding of this. Any messy idea can be verified in the shortest time. In the past, there was no such condition."
"Comparing the past with the present, there is no comparison at all." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Currently, brain computers have not yet become popular. When brain computers become fully popular, it is estimated that the development of science and technology will explode again."
For now, brain computers are only popular in a small area.
For example, relevant scientific research institutions and departments in urgent need.
This process will probably last two to three months, and then the brain machine will be finalized.
Brain-computer cooperates with the virtual universe, plus humanoid bionic robots.
It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is in the virtual universe or in reality, these domestic scientific researchers can achieve it with a complete laboratory.
With such conditions, it is naturally convenient to verify ideas.
In this way, the development of science and technology will naturally be faster.
