5 times and 200 times, a series of data comparisons, everyone here is shocked. Thanks to the purchase of some indigenous people from the Laenino civilization, and the successful completion of the research on thinking acceleration, the progress of the entire alliance in this area is far better than expected, so that everyone present is a little caught off guard.

Originally, Unreal Labs expected to complete the acceleration of thinking within a few hundred years. But now, fifty-two years is done. This also means that the hemispheric civilization can use cutting-edge technology and will catch up with the new human civilization at a higher speed.

But at this moment, no one is thinking about how to get stuck in the hemispheric civilization, and the key is to improve yourself quickly. Because while helping the civilization of the hemisphere, it means that it has also mastered the technology in this area.

When the conditions were ripe, this mountain finally pressed down viciously.

how to choose?

"Professor Zhang, is there really no other way to improve intelligence?" A female education expert asked, "For example, to develop additional perception? Update the auxiliary brain..."

It is still difficult for her to accept completely abandoning her human identity to upgrade to another race with more potential...

It is even more unacceptable to transform the mind than to transform the body!

"It is possible, but it is very difficult." Zhang Yuan replied: "And this kind of improvement is a drop in the bucket, and the range is limited..."

He opened his hands and made two gestures, one big and one small, to describe the gap: "Let's put it this way, if the intelligence limit of a fifth-level civilization can reach one million. The extra perception or auxiliary brain of a fourth-level civilization, At most two or three hundred, at most five hundred, this is the upper limit."

"No matter how it develops, it will only improve so much after spending tens of thousands of years of energy... This is not in line with our development strategy."

"This gap is like the difference between multicellular organisms and single-celled organisms. It is irreparable. No matter how you change the paramecium, it will still be a paramecium and cannot be changed into a monkey."

"It's like the difference between elementary mathematics and advanced mathematics. Elementary mathematics also has a lot of interesting research content, but no matter how you study it, the scenarios it can play are still limited."

"Our brain is a natural evolution. It is very delicate, but it is still a little rough in some places. It has developed to the present and it is not enough. This is a fact. So it needs to be replaced."

The meeting room fell into silence for a while. After so many years of concluding thoughts, they all already understood this matter.

Some people have made a decision a long time ago, but a small number of people still have a little fantasy... This kind of people are so stubborn that it is difficult to change their values ​​​​through discussion.

Among the high-level government, after all, the entire government is still dominated by deep blue thinking. The number of this type of people is not large, but there are still some; among the common people, the proportion of this type of people is actually larger. Various debates have been going on for many years, and the whole society seems to be divided.

In fact, Zhang Yuan can understand this kind of thinking. To put it bluntly, "being human" is their highest political correctness, and abandoning their human identity is a kind of betrayal in their view. If you can't become a fifth-level civilization as a "pure human", doing anything is wrong.

What is "highest political correctness"? The meaning is very simple: No matter from what angle, if you try to deconstruct with any philosophy, political science, law, or sociology, others will directly deny these deconstructions. The method of negation is very direct: directly disagree with the assumption at the source of the self-consistent chain of deconstructive logic, but regard this "political" correctness as a self-evident truth.

Political correctness is a war of positions. This is the meta-rule in the history of human civilization... With a population of one billion in the new human civilization, it is almost impossible to unify positions.

After a long time, another deputy captain asked: "So do you have any ideas? How should we change our thinking? According to our previous discussions, there should be some results, right? It has been studied for so long It's time..."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "After so many years of research, we have made a whole set of content, the academic name is "Modular Thinking Construction System"."

"In this system, as the name suggests, a modular way of thinking is adopted. The first part is a large frame, which is equivalent to the supporting structure of a house. In this large frame, the most commonly recognized morality of human beings is sorted out. We call it As a basic virtue, it is somewhat similar to the memory template of hemispheric civilization."

Hearing the memory template of the civilization of the hemisphere, there was a buzzing discussion in the conference room.

Like hemisphere civilization, they don't really like to forcibly engrave it into a saint model.

However, according to Zhang Yuan's introduction, the human template is relatively more flexible. The system of hemisphere civilization is completely inherited from the saints, while the human beings can assemble it by themselves, which is equivalent to the difference between woodblock printing and movable type printing.

In the framework of human thinking, except that the basic virtues are similar, to a certain extent, you can choose the content inside, so there is a certain degree of freedom.

Zhang Yuan paused, and said: "The basic morality in this area has not been widely discussed, it is just sorted out within the Unreal Lab. If it is really to be promoted, it needs further discussion by the whole society."

"Moreover, this is just a big framework, and the details in it are very empty. For example, solidarity and mutual assistance, love of civilization, etc., are all general morality."

"I believe most people can accept this big framework."

"After memory instills basic virtues, a person's world view will undergo a fundamental change, his thinking will become modular, and he will be able to perform a series of cuts to withstand higher thinking acceleration, 5 times, or 10 times, Even a hundred times is not a problem!"

"Equivalent to his work efficiency and the time he feels, it has been extended by five times and ten times, but due to the existence of basic virtues, human beings will not produce perishers."

"This is just the first step..."

"Professor Zhang, I have a question." Madam Captain asked, "There are many moral people in our society. Why are they also moral? One can't adapt to accelerated thinking, but the other can?"

Zhang Yuan said: "It's a bit complicated to explain. Let me give you a few simple examples. The same is a house, one is an earthen embryo house, which is full of unreasonable things, and it collapses after stacking five or six floors; A house with a good foundation has reinforced concrete and can be stacked up hundreds of layers.”

"The same program, written by a master and a mediocre hand, has completely different operating efficiency."

"It's also morality, one is complex and contradictory, even I don't know what morality is, I can only rely on perceptual judgment; the other has been sorted out, and there will not be too many conflicts."

This explanation is almost understood by everyone here.

But at the same time, it's a little strange. It's actually hard for them to imagine that there is no moral conflict. What's going on?

Zhang Yuan added: "That is to say, the emotional thinking has been greatly reduced, and the rational thinking has been greatly improved. Right is right, wrong is wrong, and there is less middle ground between more and wrong."

But is this kind of rational morality really acceptable to human beings?
