"General Shen's family is the envy of everyone." Wei Tongtong went naturally to the first topic of the day, "Actually, everyone is very curious about whether two people of different races will meet each other when they live together. Going to something new that other families don’t have, or somewhere special?”
"Even in Emilia's home world, there is only one half-elf like her, so I don't think half-elves can be regarded as a race..."
Shen Fu made a small joke, and then continued, "In fact, everyone can regard her as the same human being, just like the difference between the yellow race and the white race, and her appearance should be more in line with our oriental appearance. Aesthetics, in fact, not only Emilia, Rem and Ram are also ghosts, Betty is an elf without entity... In my opinion, what are these people from another world called? Whether we call them 'people' or something else depends on who has the majority among us as a whole."
"It cleverly avoids the focus of our attention." Wei Tongtong covered his mouth and smiled, "It seems that General Shen is not willing to share interesting things in life. I originally wanted to ask who has the right to speak in the family. Bigger.”
"It's just because it's hard to think of anything special." Shen Fu showed an innocent expression, "Our family life is the same as that of most people. What we discuss most every day is the daily necessities of life. As for the right to speak... ...Although I don’t have any machismo, Emilia is a gentle wife.”
"...The more I talk about it, the more enviable it becomes." Wei Tongtong couldn't help but admire, "I wonder if the reason why Mr. Shen stepped down from an important position at the age of thirty-four is also related to Is it related to enjoying a happier family life more? After all, we can all see that no matter how busy General Shen is, he will personally pick up his daughter and go home."
This question is starting to get a little bit more acute, but it is also something that many people in China are curious about. After all, at Shen Fu's age, he is still far from retirement.
"I think my current 'retired' status is still somewhat different from what you have always thought."
Shen Fu's already upright body couldn't help but straighten up a bit. The topic tonight had actually been arranged in advance, and the previous ones were just prefixes to introduce the topic.
"What we are living in now is the greatest era. We have broken many boundaries and made all impossible things possible. This has brought unpredictable changes to our lives. You may I think the changes you see are huge, but in fact, change has become the main challenge of our current era."
"Just to take my own example, with my current life span, I may have reached a point where even I don't know it yet - at least it's measured in millennia."
After saying this, Shen Fu paused briefly to give the others time to think.
Wei Tongtong in front of her opened her mouth slightly, as if she was very surprised, but closed her mouth before it fully showed.
How is this impossible? In the worlds that appear now, many of them have characters who have broken the limits of life. The gods in the dungeon world have even existed for hundreds of millions of years, far exceeding the entire history of human civilization. In this era, The first thing everyone has to learn is that anything is possible.
"In the beginning, most people and I, as well as the comrades and colleagues around me, had similar ideas." Shen Fu's voice sounded again, "Marry a wife, have children, work, retire, live a long life, and then end My life may be glorious or unknown, even after I met and fell in love with Emilia, all I wanted was to stay with her as long as possible after retirement."
"But later on, I began to realize that my life plan might be completely scrapped, because I might be able to live for thousands of years, or even longer."
"At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong. I was even very excited. Who doesn't want to live forever? But then, I met the real gods. Yes, they were the guys in the dungeon world. From them I saw one thing in my body, and that is the disadvantage of eternal life, which will make people completely lose the meaning of life. When time goes so long that nothing can stimulate your nerves, you will become what they call " In the state of divinity, one gets rid of all emotions, including boredom, and becomes the same existence as a robot or a computer program."
"I have every reason to believe that if Chinese civilization can last for thousands of years, no, it may even be just a few hundred years, people who choose to die on their own will account for the majority of the mortality rate of the Chinese population."
This is a topic that must be brought up. Shen Fu originally thought that it did not need to be brought up so soon, but the recent events in the country made him realize that this day may come sooner than he imagined.
Previously, Shen Fu went to the Iron City World to learn about the human body transformation technology from Macross, which allows humans to remove all biological tissues except part of the brain. With magic, everyone can survive for thousands of years very cheaply. , you can even upload your spiritual will to an existence similar to the Internet, achieving immortality in another sense.
A series of problems brought about by life span are imminent. As a pioneer on the road to longevity, Shen Fu has the obligation to appease the emotions of the masses.
"Wow, wow - this is really..." Wei Tongtong found that he didn't know what to say.
Because she was a little confused at this time. Immortality has been the dream of everyone since ancient times, but after first seeing it in front of her, she suddenly felt like she didn't know whether to be ecstatic or not.
"Let's go back to the previous topic, about why I chose to retire at such an early age." Shen Fu smiled, and his tone suddenly became a little more relaxed, "Because my life plan was completely disrupted. After that, I suddenly realized that I needed to find a rhythm of life that I could enjoy. I could neither waste my long life doing nothing, nor could I be obsessed with a goal and get stuck in it, so I chose to change myself to a more relaxed environment. , to think carefully about what I want.”
"That's why General Shen said before that your current retirement is different from what we understand as retirement, right?" Wei Tongtong put away the thoughts in his mind. Regardless of whether he can live forever or not, he still wants to Focus on your work.
