Hearing what Su Zhe said, Zuo Dajun became even more embarrassed and said, "It's okay! I'm talented and I'm not bad looking. As long as I set my sights a little lower, I can find someone quickly. Don't worry, I will definitely It will not hinder the population increase plan.”
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "This is the truth. Nowadays, everyone is not short of money, but now everyone's standards for choosing a mate have increased. They must be good-looking and knowledgeable. Anyway, they have a lot of requirements, and everyone wants to find one. Is it possible to find a perfect partner? As long as they are human beings, they all have shortcomings. It is basically impossible to find a perfect partner."
Nowadays, everyone is not short of money, but it is still not easy to find a partner.
Those who like each other should get married early. As for those who are demanding, they should keep picking each other up.
You know, this is not the past. In the past, I would still feel wronged because of the "money" issue, but now, no one is short of money and just wants to find the person they are satisfied with.
But the actual situation is that if you look at someone, they will look down on you. As for those who both fall in love with each other at the same time, there are fewer and fewer of them.
Su Zhe nodded and said: "Then there is no perfect person, Dajun! You'd better not be too picky, it's almost enough. Now is not the past. No one will wrong themselves because of money. Everyone wants to find someone they like." Yes, the current situation is that the more you search, the harder it is to find the ones behind you, and in the end they are all just gimmicks, which makes it even more difficult."
Zuo Dajun nodded repeatedly and said: "I know, don't worry, I will definitely find a partner before the population increase plan is implemented. I still have this confidence. Well, let's not talk about this. Let's continue to visit this villa. Speaking of Penglai The space city is really well built and has everything. With such conditions, it is no different from living on earth."
The three of them continued to visit the villa.
After visiting the villa, the three of them continued to visit the Penglai Space City under construction.
At the moment, they are visiting a food synthesis factory.
This food synthesis factory is very advanced and can continuously produce a variety of foods as long as it provides energy and the most basic raw materials.
The energy problem is easy to solve. There is a proton nuclear fusion device. As long as there is hydrogen, there will be a steady stream of energy available. Only raw materials are available. In fact, only the most basic elements are provided.
Such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.
Zuo Dajun looked at the food synthesis factory being built in front of him and sighed: "Look, how fast we are developing. Even counting from last year, it only took more than a year. We have completely solved the problem of human food. , as long as there are energy and resources, we can continuously synthesize food. In the past, this could only be seen in science fiction, but now we have realized it. Of course, now everyone generally does not accept this kind of synthetic food. I still agree with food obtained through traditional methods.”
The current synthetic food is the fastest. Whether it is mass production or other methods, in terms of output, traditional methods are far behind.
For example, for rice, the traditional way is to grow rice.
In the current situation, there are large-scale cultivation on the earth, and there are also many space farms in space. In this case, there will be a continuous output of rice.
Whether it is planting on earth or on a space farm, in the final analysis, rice is obtained by planting rice.
This was the traditional way, but now there are more ways to get rice.
For example, through biological methods, one can start with the genes of rice and let them directly synthesize seeds. Rice can also be obtained in this way, but this method is not fast enough.
The fastest way is to directly synthesize rice.
This method uses the most basic elemental substances to synthesize rice, which is faster and easier to achieve scale than other methods.
Except for rice, as far as the current situation is concerned, basically all foods for humans can be synthesized in the same way.
Although it is easier to obtain food through synthetic means, people still cannot accept synthetic food. This is why food must be grown on earth, and there are many space farms in space.
To put it bluntly, the pace of development is too fast, and people’s opinions simply don’t have time to change.
Of course, no one wants everyone to eat synthetic food now. Food is basically obtained through planting and breeding, which is the traditional way.
To be honest, the difference between these synthetic foods and foods obtained through traditional methods is very small, and traditional methods can be completely replaced.
However, now that there are conditions and there is no shortage of resources and energy, everyone can be provided with whatever food they want. As for the synthesis, it is all in reserve.
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "That's right! Although I know that synthetic food is almost the same as traditional food, but if I had to choose, I would still choose food obtained through traditional methods. Maybe it's because of my psychology! It's probably just for our generation. , children in the future may think that we are sick. We can obtain food in the simplest way, but we choose the most troublesome way. Just like the Penglai Space City, we built a food synthesis factory just in case, but in the end It will be accepted by future children. I would say that as time goes by, synthetic food will eventually become mainstream. As for whether it is healthy or not, with the current medical technology, as long as it is not brain-dead on the spot, it can be cured, so there is no need to worry about it. Already."
As far as he is concerned, not accepting synthetic food is a psychological effect.
But the actual situation is that there are only a few differences between synthetic food and traditional food. Only the taste is the same, so they are exactly the same.
Even if there are some differences that may cause diseases or something, current medical technology can smooth these differences.
To put it simply, no matter what food you eat, your basic health is guaranteed.
But even so, everyone still generally doesn't accept it.
It is understandable not to accept it, but it is certain that synthetic food will become mainstream. Even if this generation cannot accept it, the next generation will accept it.
For them, if they don't accept it, they won't accept it. They can just continue to obtain food through traditional methods. Anyway, they don't lack those resources and energy.
Su Zhe said with a smile: "It is difficult to change people's opinions for a while. We don't have to worry too much. For example, those people who took the Penglai Space City to Proxima Centauri, when they have choices, they still have to To eat food obtained through traditional methods, the only food synthesis factory built is just in case. In extreme cases, the people on the Penglai Space City can survive for a long time by relying on the food synthesis factory."
For those people who took the Penglai Space City to Proxima Centauri, the food they ate was basically stored in advance.
Some vegetables and the like are grown in the Penglai Space City.
But considering the extreme situation, a food synthesis factory is needed on the Penglai space city.
Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said: "Well, I think it will be difficult for food synthesis factories to become mainstream in the future. In my opinion, humans may not even bother to eat in the future. The life support devices currently being studied can help people rely on this For the long-term survival of the device, you can just lie in such a device in the future. In this way, you won’t have to eat, drink, or poop, and you will only have appetite and the like, and what cannot be realized in the virtual universe. In my opinion, this This approach is most likely to become the mainstream of our humanity.”
What a hassle to eat! Simply stop eating it, regardless of whether it is synthetic food or food obtained through traditional methods.
With this device, people no longer need to eat, drink, or eat. As for their desires, they can all be solved in the virtual universe.
In this case, who cares what kind of food is eaten.
Hearing what Zuo Dajun said, Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming nodded repeatedly.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "This is still possible. It doesn't matter what kind of food we eat, but that will be a long, long time later. At least our generation will not abandon our bodies."
If this is the case, then the meaning of human body existence is to carry human consciousness, which is not much different from leaving a single brain.
Of course, this will happen a long time ago and will not happen now.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "That's the truth. As far as I'm concerned, I still like it very much.
My own body, besides, the virtual universe will not be completely open at once, and a device that can sustain human life for a long time has not yet been developed. Technically it can be one thing, but whether we should adopt this method is another matter As far as I'm concerned, such a situation will not happen for a long time. As for the virtual universe being fully liberalized, if it is really liberalized, many people will be lost in the virtual universe. In the universe, this process must be slow. "
Fan Xiaoming said: "This is the case in real time. We must have some control over the development of the virtual universe. If we really let it go, believe it or not, many people will give up the development of the real universe and invest in the virtual universe. If not now, In the real universe, there are still these basic rules of the universe, and there are always things that cannot be done. But in the virtual universe, if you let go, it is God. There is nothing that is impossible except what you can't think of. So, It is difficult for us to fully let go of the virtual universe. Besides, the focus of our development is the real universe. Even if it is for the development of the virtual universe, we must also pay attention to the development of the real universe. After all, the virtual universe depends on the existence of the real universe."
The actual situation is like this. The focus of human development is in the real universe rather than the virtual universe.
The main purpose of developing the virtual universe is to better develop the real universe.
We can’t put the cart before the horse.
Su Zhe looked at the food synthesis factory being built in front of him and said with a smile: "We are still developing too fast, and our thinking cannot keep up with the pace of development. We have achieved energy freedom and resource freedom. For the future of mankind, we I'm looking forward to it, but it's really hard to say what the future direction will be. If we are more conservative, it will be fine. If we are too radical, it's hard to say. How can I say it? We need to slow down appropriately now. Our pace, of course, I'm talking about society. As for science and technology, you're welcome. We can develop as fast as we can. What we need is stable development. Taking advantage of the increase in human population, we need to Only by settling our culture properly can we go far."
Over the past year or so, the development of technology has had a great impact on society, and fundamental changes have taken place in many aspects.
Need to slow down.
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "Yes! Over the past year or so, our development speed has been too fast, especially the changes brought by science and technology to society. We really have to slow down and lay the groundwork for our future development." Base."
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "The current development momentum is very good, but the actual situation is internal and external troubles. The more advanced science and technology are, the more destructive they will be. We must guard against lunatics appearing within human beings, and we must always pay attention to the outside world. The existence of aliens is not a joke, it poses a danger of annihilation to us humans."
The more advanced science and technology are, the greater the threat to mankind.
In the past, just like nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons were an absolute danger to mankind. Everyone was afraid of nuclear weapons, and the control of nuclear weapons was quite strict.
This was in the past, and the only threat to mankind was nuclear weapons. But things are different now.
Artificial intelligence, robots, biotechnology, etc., there are many technologies that can threaten the survival of the entire human race.
On the contrary, it is necessary to prevent these technologies that threaten human beings from being mastered by people with malicious intentions, or those who cannot control them.
This is an internal worry. As for external threats, the number one threat is aliens, and then there is the general environment of the universe.
You know, there must be aliens in the universe, that's for sure, but it's hard to say when we will encounter aliens. Whether we discover aliens or aliens discover us, the results are different. .
But with the development of mankind, it is certain that aliens will be discovered, or discovered by aliens. The difference is a matter of time.
Changes in the general environment of the universe also pose threats to human beings.
For example, if the earth's environment changes, it goes without saying that the earth's environment is no longer suitable for human survival.
Similarly, if the general environment of the solar system changes, the general environment of the earth will inevitably change.
Although the current ability of human beings to survive
It has been greatly strengthened. It can survive without relying on star systems, and it can build a living place for human beings in the universe.
Even so, if the general environment of the universe undergoes major changes, it would not be surprising that human beings would be wiped out.
For example, black holes, huge changes in the Milky Way, etc.
Of course, in the early stages of human development, these threats to human beings were huge, and the group could be wiped out if not careful. But as long as the development of human beings has passed the early stage, it will be difficult to wipe out the human group. .net
To put it simply, this is the early stage of human development. We must be cautious and develop step by step. If we are not careful enough, we may face the destruction of the group.
But as long as we survive the early stages of human development, humans no longer need to be cautious.
