Deep Space Fleet

At the time when various humanistic activities were flourishing, inside Kunlun Mountain, there was a vigorous handover of new and old people. Due to the large number of people who retired at one time, the work of handover was quite complicated. It is estimated that it will take three to five years to complete the entire work.

The repeated internal meetings made Zhang Yuan exhausted physically and mentally. He is no longer the boy who can only sleep three or four hours a day. After working for a long time, you will feel tired from time to time, and sometimes you will take a nap. This in itself is a physiological phenomenon caused by aging after you get older, and it cannot be overcome by simple will.

However, the development of the entire civilization has entered the normal stage, and it is time to hand it over to the successors of the next generation, so there is nothing to worry about.

Now that I have shared some of the power in my hands, I finally have some free time to recover from the original "tool man" to my original appearance. This feeling is quite good.

Yes, when a civilized leader is most of the time, he is really a tool man. He can't laugh when he should laugh, and he can't cry when he should cry. He can only hold back his emotions in his heart. He must represent the absolute justice of civilization and the way forward!

However, this is too tiring.

Even steel is subject to metal fatigue, let alone living human beings.

Life after retirement will undoubtedly be much easier. You can do some things you like, take a nap, or play video games, especially the recently popular virtual space games. Zhang Yuan is originally a person who likes novelty gadgets very much. In the past, it is impossible to have time to experience these new products. At most, he just tasted them.

Zhang Yuan looked at the distant stars and the light blue Tep star, and said softly: "From the civilizations we have encountered, we can see that there are some civilizations in the universe that are more unfortunate than us, and some are Civilizations luckier than us."

"From the perspective that we are already an interstellar civilization, we should be regarded as one of the lucky ones... In terms of probability, at least 90% of civilizations are weaker than us."

Several young people behind him, some are Zhang Yuan's successors, and some are young deputy captains, none of them spoke.

Zhang Yuan asked again: "What do you think is the most unfortunate place for human beings? Or, what is the imperfection of human civilization?"

"Isn't it perfect...the lifespan is too short." Dr. Li Cheng from the secretariat replied: "Compared to Badit, the lifespan of human beings is too short, and most people's brains are not too smart, so it is difficult to adapt distance star voyage."

"During the age of great voyages in the Middle Ages, the time that human beings could endure loneliness was only two or three months. It took Columbus two months to discover the New World; Magellan took three years to travel around the world, but he stopped at least 17 times, equivalent to Dock once every two months. No more, the sailors will have to rebel."

"...The same is true for the great interstellar era. If the Kunlun Mountain society is not large enough, and the time of feeling is forcibly shortened through hibernation, this kind of interstellar travel is too boring for human beings. From time to time, outer space workers will Fear of the wilderness, even after training, still has such a probability.”

Generally speaking, Kunlun Mountain has a population of more than 10 million, and the long-term sobriety period is about 1 million, which can be regarded as a medium-sized city, so everyone will not be lonely.

Coupled with hibernation, that is, a 50-year interstellar journey, people only feel it for five years, so it is still acceptable.

Dr. Li Cheng continued: "The short life span not only leads to the short peak period of human beings, but also hinders the development of science and technology. Although the peak period of intelligence is long, the peak period of creativity is not long."

"In terms of ideology, people prefer to settle on a planet. Therefore, we can only build a huge mothership like Kunlun Mountain to gain a sense of security in our hearts... In fact, the probability of falling into mediocrity in the settlement mode higher."

"In contrast, the Badit people are much superior. They only need a large shuttle and a population of 20,000 to survive a long time. They will not feel bored when facing the same thing. Games like Tetris can be played for decades. That means the triggering patterns of the pleasure mechanism in the brain are somewhat different..."

Yes, the length of life has a great influence on human ideology.

Take the earth civilization as an example. In ancient times, human beings got married and had children in their teens because they could only live for thirty years.

As a result, after the average life expectancy rose to 100 years, the number of older men and women increased significantly.

After the average life expectancy rises to 300 years, few people even get married. Everyone wants to play more and make more noise when they are young. Who wants to get married early and restrain themselves for three hundred years.

As for having children... that is something that should be considered after the age of two hundred.

What, child care and pension? Where did this primitive man come from?

The above is the ideology of the earthlings. Human ideology will change with the economy and life span. If it is true that everyone can live for three to five thousand years, it is very likely that even children have no interest in having children, at least it is impossible to have children in their twenties and thirties.

If there are still a lot of years to squander, who would want to start a family so early?

Of course, the ideological changes brought about by the increase in life expectancy are very complicated, and they are also the focus of discussion in the history of new civilizations. The thinking of long-lived species and short-lived species is completely different.

After Li Cheng finished speaking, Zhang Yuan smiled irrefutably, then nodded: "That's very good."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Junchang, the chief of staff of the military, replied: "I think the human body is too fragile, especially the nervous system is too fragile, and human beings will always succumb to their own desires...Some things in ancient times that are beneficial The habit of survival is still affecting us. But what was beneficial in ancient times is not necessarily beneficial in modern times."

"These life habits are essentially a set of very simple philosophical concepts, that is, the theory of survival and reproduction. You don't need any thinking, you don't need to receive education, it exists. Under the influence of primitive philosophical concepts, many students are Even the most basic modern philosophy has not been established, even though our education system has emphasized this point very much. However, they still don't know what the meaning of their existence is, and they just follow the society and follow the trend."

"If the social atmosphere is good, they are naturally so-so. If the social environment is not good, they will soon degenerate."

Zhang Yuan smiled inwardly, Ye Junchang is a typical representative of the radical faction.

This faction is not satisfied with the genetic philosophy of human beings and the driving force behind their ascension, and has formed their own set of theories under the new civilization history system.

The core content of this set of theories is that, according to the current development model, although human beings are on an upward path, they still have their own limits.

Human beings often do evil for no reason, which can be seen from a young age. Some people just like to bully others and cause destruction. in the small world.

Even though some bad habits have been corrected through acquired education and various chip technologies, many things are still hidden and have not been completely eliminated.

In other words, high-cold and serious content can't do vulgar entertainment, and the vulgar it is, the easier it is to spread widely, precisely because of this type of reason.

However, genetic philosophy involves the most core content of human beings, and it does not mean that you can change it if you want to.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "So, first of all, we need to use technology to make up for IQ problems and control our own desires... Also, we don't know how to modify the driving force of life? Is it difficult to modify genes? Do it."
