The reason for this situation is that the abundance of resources and energy has caused changes in the form of society.
In the past, you could make money using intellectual property and the like, and that was because it was economically oriented in the past.
You know, a lot of things from the past no longer exist.
For example, private companies, shops, private manufacturing factories, etc., many things in the past have disappeared.
The reason for this is because there is no need for these to exist anymore, which means they have no value in existing.
Take cars as an example. From design to manufacturing to sales, the process is very long, and the process in between is also very complicated.
Manufacturing alone involves many aspects, many people and many factories.
If you need a car, you have to buy it, and there are many procedures.
It's different now.
If you want to buy a car now, you have two options from the beginning.
Should you choose to buy the standard one or customize it yourself?
But whether you want to buy standard products or customize them, the former is more convenient. You can just order directly using various terminals.
As for the procedures, you can confirm them in person after the car is delivered to your door.
If you want to customize it, it will be done in the virtual universe.
You can complete the design of the flying car according to your own requirements with the assistance of artificial intelligence, and under normal circumstances it can be delivered to your door in half a day.
No matter which method it is, it is directly connected to the factory, without any intermediate links.
That is to say.
If you have any needs now, you can just place an order online. If there is stock, it will be delivered immediately. No factory can produce it quickly.
What consumers directly face is the manufacturing factory.
Simply put, it is made on demand.
As much as there is demand will be produced.
In the past, due to profit issues, the products generally produced were not the best. Even if the resources and energy consumed were the same, the best products could be produced, but for the sake of long-term profits, they would not do this.
Products will become obsolete in time.
This also has a name, planned to be scrapped.
This was the past, but it is different now. Now we don’t care about the so-called profit. We can only produce as good a product as we can.
In other words, the quality of products now is the best.
Just think about it.
Resources and energy are very abundant, and there are intelligent automated factories throughout the industry chain.
As for shopping and the like, there are services in various terminals and virtual universes.
The most important thing is that it is delivered to your door.
Coupled with the popularity of home robots.
Basically all the chores in life can be taught to home robots.
Under such circumstances, is it necessary for individual businesses and factories to exist?
At this time, there is no need for the private to exist, because it has no meaning.
Of course, the reason why it is like this now is ultimately due to the sufficient resources and energy, coupled with the addition of intelligent and automated manufacturing factories, which means that the required goods can be automatically and continuously produced.
And this process can be done without anyone’s direct participation.
This also means that human beings have huge wealth, which can ensure that everyone can live a prosperous life.
In this case, private participation is still needed, or it is really not necessary to allow huge amounts of wealth to be owned by private individuals.
At this time, the economic model is also the simplest. Ordinary people earn money for consumption, and those intelligent automated factories manufacture products.
It's not as complicated as it used to be.
People just need to work and earn money to spend.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Without the virtual universe, it would be a disaster for us now. Without the virtual universe, the proton nuclear fusion device being verified would not be completed so quickly, let alone others."
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "That's it. Now we are used to the existence of the virtual universe. If not, the efficiency can be imagined."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Zhe in the distance, "Without the virtual universe, Su Zhe wouldn't have been able to discover tachyons so quickly, and he wouldn't have been able to summarize and apply it so quickly."
Ning Changsheng said with a smile: "This is true, the virtual universe has brought many conveniences... Not bad, the proton nuclear fusion device is running very stably, it will be eleven o'clock at night in two hours, look This time we can achieve complete success, and the interstellar era of mankind has officially arrived."
With that said, Ning Changsheng looked at the big screen.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "It will be declared successful in two hours. The interstellar era of mankind! It seems that it is officially coming."
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Yes! The interstellar era is coming. Although we will soon achieve energy freedom, we still cannot break the speed of light. To be honest, it would be great if Su Zhe could develop super-light flight technology soon. , then we can develop faster, so that we don’t have to fully develop the solar system, we can protect the solar system well and build the solar system into a habitable star system.”
With the proton nuclear fusion device and the realization of energy freedom, it means that we have entered the interstellar age.
However, due to the limitation of the speed of light, it is still very difficult to develop star systems outside the solar system.
Zuo Dajun glanced at Su Zhe in the distance, thought for a while and said, "Su Zhe said before that there will be an unexpected surprise in the paper that will be released soon. Could it be that this unexpected surprise is the super-light flight technology?"
This is just his guess.
He knows very well that it is very difficult to achieve faster-than-light flight technology, but there is still hope.
After all, it's not the past anymore.
As long as you have ideas and ideas, they can be easily verified in the virtual universe.
No, he boldly thought that the unexpected surprise Su Zhe mentioned might be the super-light flight technology.
After Zuo Dajun said this, everyone looked at Su Zhe in the distance.
After a while, Fan Xiaoming said seriously: "My intuition tells me that this possibility is unlikely, but I also think that this surprise is super-light flight technology. If it is true, then the final result of us humans will be different. It will be completely different." The interstellar era.”
The interstellar era with only proton nuclear fusion devices and the interstellar era with super-light flight technology are completely different between the two.
If the former is in early childhood, the latter is in adulthood.
Si Wenbo was very excited, "It would be great if the unexpected surprise really comes from super-light flight technology. Then our trip to Proxima Centauri won't be as troublesome as it is now, and it won't take so long. If this is really the case, what will happen to us humans?" It will usher in explosive development, and it will still be a big explosion."
If you think about it, you will know that with super-light flight technology, it will be different from now.
After achieving energy freedom, human development is now limited by the speed of light, or in other words, the long distance limits human development.
With super-light flight technology, such limitations have been broken.
Then we can use the resources and energy of the star systems around the solar system for development.
Xu Zhengping looked at the time and said seriously: "Su Zhe said that the paper will be released after the verification of the proton fusion device is completed. It will only take two hours. We will know after a while. To be honest, I really hope this The unexpected surprise is really the super-light flight technology.”
At the end of his speech, Xu Zhengping looked at Ning Changsheng, and several others also looked at Ning Changsheng.
Seeing several people looking at him, Ning Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know the specific situation. I'm also curious about Su Zhe's surprise? First of all, we can rule out the genuine heavy photons. Aerospace engines and super-light communication technology. After all, Su Zhe has already mentioned these two things in advance. If I were asked to guess, it’s not easy to guess. Just wait! It’s only been two hours, and I’ll know it soon.”
Zuo Dajun was a little disappointed, smiled and said: "What do you mean, I hope the unexpected surprise Su Zhe mentioned is the super-light flight technology."
Several people smiled and nodded.
The control center of the proton fusion device.
Except for Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao who were busy at the corner, the other people were either discussing or staring at the big screen.
There are also two hosts in the live broadcast room, who have never been idle.
The two hosts have been explaining the operation of the proton nuclear fusion device.
You know, the two hosts have worked hard for today and have gained relevant professional knowledge.
In the live broadcast room, it was very lively. After all, there were more than one billion people watching the live broadcast.
"It's done! It's successful! You don't need to look at the following to know that it's successful. Let's start preparing! I'm ready. I will be able to take the Penglai Space City to Proxima Centauri in two months. I will be the first batch For humans who have arrived at Proxima Centauri, we will spread our wings on Proxima Centauri and wait a few decades to see everyone in the solar system."
"What! You were selected, awesome! I was eliminated in the first round of auditions. I'm so envious of you. Fortunately, I can take the Second Earth to Proxima Centauri. It's just a little late, but it's okay. , you go explore the way first, we will arrive later."
"I envy you so much. You all have the opportunity to go to Proxima Centauri. Unfortunately, I am too stupid and can't do anything. There is no such opportunity. I can only wait until I can immigrate to Proxima Centauri before I can go and see it. Yes, I hope to see that day."
…
"This proton nuclear fusion device is too powerful. It will be successful soon. We can continuously replicate proton nuclear fusion devices. The most important thing is that we humans can escape from the solar system and survive in space."
"It is foreseeable that many human settlements will be built in space in the future. As long as there is protium, we will have a steady stream of energy. With a steady stream of energy, we can maintain the long-term existence of human settlements. Does this mean? Then we can develop space real estate, and it will be the kind of house that can fly freely in space.”
"It's completely feasible. We can build modular houses in space, which can be connected together or exist alone. In this way, the number of our human beings can be greatly increased. As long as there are resources and energy, we can If we continue to replicate this kind of living place, we can become interstellar herders."
…
"The proton nuclear fusion device! It's about to succeed! Well... when will brain computers be popularized! I really can't wait. Every day I see people playing and working freely in the virtual universe. , and can remotely control those devices, I want it too! I also want to use the virtual universe to learn and work."
"That's right! When will brain computers become popular? The question is to wait three months. Really, three months is too long. I know that 100 million people have already received brain computers, and they also know about brain computer verification. It takes time, so can we verify it together? Anyway, we are not short of resources and energy."
"That's it! That's it! Now we can't play without brain computers. Only with brain computers can we learn and work better. Really, let's make brain computers popular as soon as possible! We humans are about to enter the interstellar age, and brain computers have to be It’s popular, hurry up!”
…
Fan Xiaoming and Zuo Dajun were also watching the live broadcast room.
At the beginning, the comments in the live broadcast room were all about the proton fusion device. Suddenly, someone mentioned the popularization of brain computers.
All right!
Comments like this never stop.
You know, there are more than one billion people in the live broadcast room, and most of these people have no brain computers.
Those without brain computers and those with brain computers are completely different.
To put it simply, having a brain computer is like turning on a plug-in. Whether it is studying or working, it is completely different.
Xu Zhengping looked at these comments and asked Fan Xiaoming, "It seems that brain computers can't be delayed any longer. If nothing else, in just a few days, the gap between people with brain computers and people without brain computers is getting bigger and bigger. This is not possible. Optimization of brain computers does not need to be done in one step. As mentioned in the comments, we are not short of resources and energy now. Of course, if there are security issues, we cannot advance. What should we do? That’s it.”
Brain computers are indeed too important for individuals.
Furthermore, the more people with brain computers, the more people will participate in scientific research work. Even if one person can only help a little, the number of more than one billion people combined will be quite terrifying.
Fan Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "Actually, when everyone started urging us, we increased our manpower. Although we announced that it would be three months later, the actual situation is that in another month, brain computers will be fully popularized. Well, considering the actual situation... let's do this! Give us a week, we will fill up the production capacity and produce all the brain computers. We will achieve popularization in a week. As for security, we will solve it first. It’s just a matter of safety, and the neutrino pond flood equipment just came out, so it can be added.”
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "We need to build more than one billion brain machines! Is one week enough?"
Although a brain computer is very small, if it is added together, it is quite a lot.
Zuo Dajun said quickly: "I know this. There is no problem at all. The production capacity of the intelligent automation foreman is completely sufficient, and we have already stocked a lot of accessories. You know, we are preparing it for the eight billion people in the world. There is no It’s not feasible to produce such a large amount of output. Besides, we still have our next generation. As for the first wave of the population increase plan, it is predicted to exceed 40 billion. It is not feasible without adequate preparations.”
Some people died, but not completely...
