Originally, the definition of human beings is relatively vague. Some are defined in terms of consciousness, and some are defined in terms of matter. As a result, the definition of human beings cannot be unified.
In other words, with different time and space, the definition of human beings is also different.
Ning Qiaoqiao looked at the city scenery outside the car window and said, "That's true, but the current definition of human beings is how we are, defined in terms of materiality, not consciousness. Of course, it may be different in a few years. Once human consciousness can be transferred, as long as the number of human beings with consciousness increases, cognition will naturally change accordingly. For example, these people abroad continue to develop in the virtual universe. At the beginning, their consciousness was still pinned on the present. If their consciousness can be transferred, these people will most likely transfer their consciousness. Are these people who transfer their consciousness still considered human beings? It will probably be considered by then."
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, with the passage of time and the development of science and technology, many things are slowly changing. There is nothing surprising about this. Speaking of which, it is okay to think too far. What’s the point? Let’s just take it one step at a time.”
The flying car carrying Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao was flying in the city, and the two were chatting while looking at the city scenery.
After flying out of this city, he flew over a grass field and entered another city.
After wandering around the city, the two returned to the spacecraft in orbit. The spacecraft started again and flew on an orbit at an altitude of one hundred kilometers.
Soon, the spacecraft hovered over the African continent.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao landed on the African continent in a flying car. Not far from them, there was a group of African lions.
Regarding the arrival of Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao, those African lions were very smart and ran away.
Looking at the fleeing lions, Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "From the recent data, the number of animals on the African continent has obviously increased. No, it should be said that the number of animals and plants on the earth has increased. This is consistent with the The deindustrialization of our species has a lot to do with it.”
"That's right! There are obviously more animals and plants on the earth. This is also the reason why we humans have launched a large amount of cultivated land. Furthermore, due to the emergence of brain computers and virtual universes, humans around the world usually only move around their own homes. In this way, animals and plants will have more living space, and their numbers will naturally increase." Su Zhe explained.
This is true at home and abroad.
In China, although everyone usually just hangs around themselves or goes to space, within the scope of the earth, flying cars are basically the way to go, which takes up less space, and there are , even if it is farming, or the fields near the farm, it is still done by household robots.
Overseas, it's even more extreme. It can be said that after these people accepted deindustrialization, they just lay down and didn't dare to do anything like farming. Anyway, some people took care of the situation and were not afraid of starving to death.
If you think about it, you will know that if you can live a prosperous life without doing anything, who would still want to work?
No, he just lay flat.
For these billions of people, they live a prosperous life entirely relying on materials provided from outside.
These people's current requirement is home robots. Once they are available, these people will really not have to do anything except eat, drink and poop.
In this way, large tracts of land abroad were vacated, and naturally they were occupied by animals and plants.
This is true both at home and abroad, and naturally there are more animals and plants on the earth.
Ning Qiaoqiao looked at the sun hanging in the sky and said, "Fortunately, we have a space farm, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to feed so many people. Think about it. In the past, there was a shortage of resources and energy, and there were many people around the world. People live in poverty and don't even have enough to eat. However, with the development of science and technology, the situation has been reversed in an instant. Therefore, the development of science and technology is fundamental. As for other things, it is really not as important as science and technology. "
In the past, how many people around the world lived below the poverty line, but now, with the advent of science and technology, anyone can live a prosperous life.
In the final analysis, it is the use of science and technology to achieve the freedom of resources and energy. With resources and energy, coupled with science and technology
, there will be unlimited food and industrial products, and the material needs of mankind can be completely solved.
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, science and technology are the most important. This is why we adopt various measures to get more people involved in scientific research. Only in this way can science and technology continue to develop. In this way, Our civilization can continue to grow stronger."
"Human civilization is like sailing against the current. If we stop the development of science and technology, then our human civilization will regress and eventually be annihilated in the long history of the universe." Ning Qiaoqiao said with certainty, "I don't want us humans to be like this. the result of."
Su Zhe smiled and said: "Let's talk, laugh, laugh. It's really hard to talk about things that are too far away. It's useless to worry too much. What we have to do now is to do the things in front of us well. In the end, we humans will still be annihilated. In the long history of the universe, there is nothing that can be done about it.”
With that said, the two got on the flying car again. The flying car was flying at low altitude in the African savanna. Whether it was a lion or an elephant, as long as they saw the flying car, they would basically run away.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao both knew the reason for this. It was because of the needs of other space cities. Animals in the African savannah and other places were often captured, and they were afraid.
Soon, they saw very distinctive buildings on the African savannah, very African-style buildings.
After the flying car stopped, many original residents walked out of the building.
When these people saw Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao getting off the flying car, the original residents gathered around them with unusual enthusiasm.
Among them, an old aboriginal resident was walking at the front. When he was about to approach Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao, he led other aboriginal residents to kneel on the ground and pray.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao couldn't bear such a big gift, so they quickly avoided it and shouted for the original residents to stand up.
Although these aboriginal residents could not understand what Su Zhe shouted, it did not delay them at all from knowing what Su Zhe said, because these aboriginal residents also had brain machines on their heads.
At this time, two home robots dropped from the sky with food.
No, with the support of these original residents, Su Zhe, Ning Qiaoqiao and the two home robots entered the unique building.
Speaking of which, this characteristic building is a combination of modern and original elements.
While Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao looked confused, the old original residents walking next to them hurriedly explained that they had designed this building through their own studies, and while talking, they praised Dongfang Big country.
After hearing this, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao also remembered something.
Help for those abroad is not mandatory, nor is it blindly modernization. For example, building a lot of modern houses for these people to live in.
This is not the case. It can be said that fully respecting everyone is based on voluntariness and is not about imposing what you think is good on others.
You must know that the lives of people around the world are diverse. Whether it is food, drink, or housing, they are all very different.
In this way, you cannot impose what you think is good on others, even if it is a brain machine, it is all voluntary.
For example, the buildings they see now were designed by the original residents themselves and built with the cooperation of engineering robots.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao looked at this building as strange as it seemed, but in the eyes of these original residents, this building was the one they were most satisfied with.
To put it simply, different people have different perceptions and have different standards for measuring beauty and ugliness, so there is no need to force it, just follow everyone’s opinions.
For example, if a group of people obviously like to eat rice, but you let them eat noodles, it's strange that they can live well.
Su Zhe. While Ning Qiaoqiao was talking with these original residents, these original residents also showed them the world they created in the virtual universe. It was beautiful and very similar to the environment they lived in now.
At this time, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao understood that the current life was what these original residents were pursuing.
You know, these original residents have no understanding of the virtual universe and the real world.
The boundaries are very clear. From what they said, we can know that these original residents mainly live in the real world, supplemented by the virtual universe, and these original residents attach great importance to education.
Even if they could obtain daily necessities, these original residents still did not stop collecting food and began to learn planting and breeding.
This surprised Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao.
To say that the life of the indigenous residents here is colorful, it is not just asking for it. On the contrary, the developed countries in the past were clamoring for home robots, and people were completely addicted to the virtual universe. They were completely at peace.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao chatted with these aboriginal residents for a long time and left after they had learned more about them.
After that, the two visited more aboriginal residents, and the situation was similar. Compared with the developed countries in the past, these backward aboriginal residents were more positive and progressive.
Speaking of which, these relatively backward people consume less resources and energy. Compared with people in developed countries in the past, with the same standard of affluent life, the latter consumes many, many times more energy and resources than the former.
In terms of essence, the former have relatively narrow cognition, and their material needs are naturally easy to meet. For example, these people have not taken the initiative to mention home robots. Similarly, even if they can obtain enough materials, they still maintain their own The habit of obtaining food and actively learning, in short, is full of hope for the future life.
Looking back at people in developed countries in the past, it was completely different. They basically just lay flat.
After almost traveling around the African continent, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao returned to the orbiting spacecraft. Their next stop was the Antarctic.
This time, the two actually put on simple space suits and exoskeleton armor. You know, Antarctica is very cold, and it would be impossible to withstand it without space suits.
While the spacecraft was suspended in orbit above the Antarctic, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao walked out of the spacecraft wearing spacesuits and exoskeletons.
The two fell into a free fall at an altitude of one hundred kilometers.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao held hands. When they were about to reach the dense atmosphere area, the engines of the exoskeleton armors they wore started and they began to slow down.
After a while, the two of them stood on a huge piece of ice. When the penguins not far away saw the two of them, they ran away.
Su Zhe scolded: "Those people must have captured these penguins a lot."
In fact, he knows in his heart that for a while now, as time goes by, these penguins will no longer be captured, and the same is true for other animals and plants on the earth.
To put it simply, after collecting all the living things on the earth, they can continue to reproduce, and there is no need to obtain them from the earth.
Ning Qiaoqiao sighed: "It can be regarded as expanding the penguin population. Let's put it this way, as long as humans live in the future, these penguins will basically exist. Even if the earth's environment changes, what we have in front of us will These penguins disappeared from the earth, but they still exist in the places where humans live. The same is true for other animals and plants on the earth. They will continue to coexist with us humans. "
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, they will coexist with humans for generations to come."
"Yeah!" Ning Qiaoqiao said, looking at the vast expanse of white in front of her, "Antarctica is a restricted area for humans. In the past, it was troublesome for us to build a scientific research station here. Now it's okay. Let's go, let's go to the earliest scientific research station. You know , it has become a place for internet celebrities to check in."
The two of them flew up slowly. After flying over this area, the scene they saw in front of them changed.
It was the country's earliest scientific research station in Antarctica. There were many people outside the scientific research station. Some of these people were wearing space suits, some were wearing other clothes, and some were wearing very thin clothes, but these people did not feel a chill.
There are still many people waiting in line to enter the scientific research station.
After Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao came over, they were quickly recognized by these people and asked to take photos together. They did not refuse.
After a while, the two of them visited the earliest scientific research station completely as everyone wanted.
from work place
In the cafeteria, there is also a place to grow vegetables.
As for farming and vegetables, this is in the genes, so you have to try to see if you can grow something.
This is true in Antarctica, in the space station, even on the moon, and in space.
You know, after entering the space age, projects such as space farms, space ranches, and space fisheries were all established early. This is also the confidence to feed all mankind.
After visiting the earliest scientific research station, the two continued to visit other scientific research stations and laboratories in Antarctica. Of course, these scientific research stations and laboratories are basically staffed by humanoid bionic robots, and only a few of them are real people.
Speaking of which, there are a lot of laboratories in these scientific research stations. The reason for this is because there are also many scientific research projects.
There is a lot of ancient information about the earth in Antarctica, and through research, the earth's past can be restored.
