Deep Space Fleet

The Spring Festival holiday has become a new cultural phenomenon. Due to the substantial extension of human life span, there is a new year every ten years, and the holiday period is about 30-40 days. Most of the work will stop, and many entertainment activities will be held during this period.

The rest are small years, and the holiday time is about 10-15 days.

This year just happens to be a big year. In the past, Zhang Yuan was not a young year. He would rather do experiments in the laboratory than have any interest in participating in these activities. There are many people like him. But this year, the laboratory is also on a mandatory holiday, so I have to rest.

Suddenly relaxed, there was a very "not worthwhile" feeling, and Zhang Yuan managed to overcome this wonderful emotion.

"This is... the Snake applet? It's very good... It's not bad to write this kind of program at such a young age."

Zhang Yuan saw a snake game in progress on a large screen in front of him.

The picture is very simple, and the program of Snake is also very simple. In theory, it can be completed by learning two-dimensional arrays, but you must know that the designers of these programs are only 9 years old...

There is also a fighting robot competition ahead, all kinds of tall robots "clank", passionate hand-to-hand combat, and various parts flying around. This kind of competition is usually divided into two modes, one is the mutual fighting between artificial intelligence, and the other is real swords and guns relying on level and technology.

There is also a team game controlled by humans through remote VR software. There are 5 robots in a group, and there are other messy things like fighting minions, upgrading, and pushing towers.

All in all, the winning group can get a large amount of bonuses and attract a lot of spectators. It is quite lively to watch the robot fights at the sports scene. Various parts are crackling all over the ground, and everyone is cheering for their team.

Even though all kinds of hot weapons can instantly kill these robots with one shot, everyone still likes to watch cold weapons fight, and occasionally hot weapons have a cooling time, which may be due to the instinct of advocating strength in human bones.

There is also a spaceship modeling competition ahead, which is a competition for the university group.

In addition, there are game competitions in the virtual world, e-sports, space movies and so on. All kinds of columns are launched during the Spring Festival holiday.

He is a person who likes to try new things. While watching various competitions, he bought a pack of strange purple beans, which taste like crunchy chicken.

It is said that this alien plant named "Atlas" is rich in starch and easier to digest. It can completely replace rice as the staple food of human beings.

Even, just eating this kind of beans can get all the nutrients needed by the body, including essential amino acids, various vitamins, protein and other nutrients needed by the human body... Therefore, this kind of alien beans have become an important food reserve inside the spacecraft. There is an emergency and people can live perfectly healthy on just beans...

The changes of the times do not seem to be as great as imagined, but they are already very different from the past.

Soon, the day passed by so quickly, and Zhang Yuan felt quite depraved...

The day passed without doing anything.

Life is like this, and having work and rest is the real life. Life has no purpose, and the existence of civilization itself has no purpose.

Even if the future looks bleak, life must go on. Could it be that weeping and moaning all day long? Of course it is impossible.

Zhang Yuan suddenly understood why the various civilizations in the interstellar trading market fabricated a bubble of false progress, and who would want to destroy this happy scene?

Bursting this bubble, will it be of any benefit to our own civilization?

not at all.

Blindly bursting the bubble, the kind of high-spirited confidence will immediately push their heads down, and they will definitely not be as happy as they are now.

Ordinary people always think that the government can do everything and solve all difficulties. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. It is very difficult to really recognize whether your civilization is progressing. The information in this era is still exploding, and there are too many messy information.

Ordinary people, in fact, rely on social inertia to live in such a muddle-headed way, even in the interstellar era.

...

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yuan received a text message, a member of the small family invited him to dinner.

He quickly turned a corner and entered a Chinese restaurant.

Having said that, his old Zhang is now 67 years old, and his brothers and sisters are older, almost 70 years old. In the past, they have already stepped into the coffin with one foot, but now they still look like young people.

The weirdest thing is that many people have not found their life partners, and they are all bachelors.

Her older sister, Huayun, has a husband and has been with her for many years. She has used a love chip and is the only one who started a family.

Zhao Congcong's boyfriend has changed several times, but he has never registered for marriage. The duration of the marriage is less than 7 years, and they are not even eligible to use the love chip.

There is also Lu Tao, who is only a few days older than Zhang Yuan. He doesn't know what he is doing, but he has never been in a relationship... He is 68 years old, and he just found a robot girlfriend to satisfy his love life.

At the dinner table, everyone doesn’t pay attention to these things. They talk more about certain games, certain alien movies, the development of science and technology, and various news and gossip, etc.

This is also a unique change of the times.

With the increase of lifespan, love becomes more and more unreliable. Using a love chip can indeed enhance the pleasure, force two people to bind, and finally transform into a longer-term family relationship. However, among young people today, there are still a large number of bachelors.

The reasons for the birth of a large number of bachelors are very complicated: on the one hand, all kinds of robot companions are becoming more and more perfect; second, the number of people writing love novels has decreased a lot, and various TV dramas about you love me and I love you have disappeared. Can only be found in the original database, this kind of cultural output is reduced, so that girls become more and more rational.

Everyone knows that the so-called love is just the product of surging hormones.

On the other hand, many young people prefer to keep changing their partners in order to pursue novelty. If you keep changing your partner, the pleasure is actually similar to a love chip...

In fact, this phenomenon of constantly changing partners is the common "Coolidge effect" in biology, that is, the phenomenon that male animals mate with new mates immediately after mating.

Most animals cease to have sex for a period of time after mating, even when their original mate is around. This stage is called the refractory period.

However, if a male animal is given a new estrous partner after mating, its refractory period will be greatly shortened, and even the mating behavior will appear immediately and enthusiastically.

Human beings cannot avoid this phenomenon. To give a simple example, many people have no feelings for their wives who have been married for several years, and they are very enthusiastic about other people's wives, even if other people's wives are not as good-looking as their own... This is the so-called The "Coolidge Effect".

The emergence of this strange phenomenon is mainly to facilitate the increase of the success rate of reproduction in the primitive era. However, in the interstellar era, it has become an unstable point in society.

Human beings are animals with emotions, and it is impossible to run away after playing. If there are a large number of such scumbags, there will be a large increase in love killings, love troubles, depression and other problems, causing social chaos.

In order to maintain social stability, the government has launched a dating whitelist system, encouraging everyone to register when they are in a relationship, so as to prevent the phenomenon of scumbags and scumbags from cheating.

Zhang Yuan always feels that this social phenomenon is very strange. The love chip is much happier than messing around with relationships, and it can be installed after seven years of being together... But there are still many couples who can't do it.
