Chapter 171 A First Look
"Mr. Karkarf, I hope you don't take this as an interrogation." Wu Qianying, who was picked up by Wang Zhengdao from Night City, sat opposite Karkarf, holding a shorthand board in her hand, like a reporter.

"You are not selling out your camp, but you are helping the two worlds communicate with each other in a more harmonious way." Before asking questions, Wu Qianying began to do psychological counseling to test Karcalf's psychological defense.

Karcalf just smiled and poured champagne for Tang Ji, Wu Qianying, Wang Zhengdao, and Miwako, who was lying on the sofa with a little sluggish energy, before sitting back in his president's swivel chair.

"Let's skip this step, Dr. Wu, I'm not as talented as you, but you don't understand our world, and you don't understand me." Karcalf loosened his tie and drank half a glass of champagne in one gulp: "In our world, I have 70 years of basic education."

"I don't want to appear superior to others, but in fact it is true. There is a generation gap among us." Karcalf hesitated and poured champagne again: "I know what you want to know, unfortunately, I am just a marginal personnel."

"Tell me about your world?" Wu Qianying's eyes were full of excitement. At this moment, she had already left aside any naturalized people and pioneers. She just wanted to know what the other world is What a look.

"You just said that you have received 70 years of basic education. Why is it so long? How long is your average life expectancy? What is the approximate scope of this basic education?" Wu Qianying has 1 questions to ask.

If possible, she really wanted to drag this precious prisoner to the Lazarus headquarters, put it in the memory-reading machine, and have a good time.

"Our world" Karcalf looked at the group photo of his family on the table, and did not resist this question: "Our world is very developed, but it is also very hopeless. We are deadlocked."

"Impasse?" Wu Qianying is very interested in this word. After all, based on the current relationship between the two worlds, the enemy's impasse may be their opportunity.

"It's not what you think, but we have fallen into a period of stagnation of civilization. The times can't keep up with the pace of technology, and we have been left behind forever." Kakarf sighed to Wu Qianying: "As I said just now, I have suffered After 70 years of basic education, in our world, that's roughly equivalent to completing junior high school."

Wu Qianying took a breath, and kept writing and drawing on the shorthand board, while Tang Ji roughly understood what Karcalf meant, and he had a higher education than him.

"You also asked about our average life expectancy, and I can tell you that we are immortal." Karcalf shook his head, with a wry smile on his lips: "The reconstruction of the body, the transfer of consciousness, and even the anchoring of the soul are all important to us. It’s a mature technology.”

"Eternal life requires physical reconstruction, consciousness transfer, and anchoring of the soul?" Wu Qianying's voice trembled, as if she had returned to the time when she was writing her doctoral thesis.

"I can't explain the principle to you in detail. You don't have to be so excited. I'm sure you are smarter than me. The generation gap between us comes from society and time, not individuals." Karcalf's character is not strong, He looks very polite when he speaks.

"Continuing your question just now, our civilization has stagnated, and the basic education time has been stretched from 30 years to 100 years, but it is still unable to cultivate a new generation that can catch up with the frontier of scientific research." Karcalf sighed: "And those university scholars who have been transforming their bodies and souls with the times have also exhausted their potential and are unable to move forward because they cannot be replenished with new blood."

Wu Qianying quickly recorded the word "academic scholar".

"A person who has received basic education for a century, and a person who only knows [-] characters and can count from one to a hundred are equated in our world." Karcalf laughed at himself: " It's all storage units."

"Storage unit?" Wu Qianying recorded another important point.

"That's right, the storage unit. The greatest meaning of our existence is to contribute the information margin and computing power of our souls and brains." Karcalf pointed to his head: "This is why we are given eternal life. Storage sectors must be as stable as possible."

Wu Qianying couldn't imagine the sadness of the era described by Karcalf. To her, that world sounded good?
Karcalf seemed to have anticipated Wu Qianying's reaction, and suddenly turned to Tang Ji and said, "What is the commonality of geniuses?"

"Using humans as information storage units is because it is more efficient?" Wu Qianying asked,

"No, it's because the cost is low and the price-performance ratio is higher." Karkarf gave Wu Qianying a not-so-good answer: "In space, we are also at a standstill. The Dyson sphere frame around the stars is being built, technology and all materials are facing a lack.”

"I have always felt that the Dyson sphere system is an outdated system. The civilizations capable of building it should theoretically have an energy system beyond this level." Wu Qianying's tone was full of regret.

"Yes, but we are stuck in a state of stagnation and can only use stupid methods." Karkarf explained: "This is information I learned when I was in school, a long time ago."

"Why are you here?" Tang Ji asked along the way, he was not interested in Wu Qianying's concerns.

"Do you need a reason?" Karcalf's smile remained unchanged: "Think about it, among tens of billions of people, only those at the top are deciding the direction of civilization's development, while the rest are in a state of doing nothing."

"Our living space is limited and our living materials are limited, but as a storage sector, we need to keep the strength of the soul stable near the peak, which requires sufficient mental stimulation and release of pressure." Champagne: "This is the most profitable business direction of our time."

"There are a few more questions, Karcalf, how do you view the relationship between the two worlds? And in what form did you reach our world? And, how did you discover our world?" Wu Qianying answered the topic and asked .

Karcalf shook his head: "You are asking the wrong person, I don't know the answers, if you ask me how to view the relationship between the two worlds, unfortunately, most of us only regard similar worlds as simulations game, me too"

"As for the rest of the questions, I'm afraid you'll need a bachelor to answer them." Kakarf took out a cigarette, gestured to Wu Qianying, and lit it for himself after getting consent.

Tang Ji coughed and reminded Wu Qianying that this is not an academic exchange meeting.

"Okay, next question, are you willing to provide us with some more in-depth help in future conflicts?"

 PS: There are still [-] words to write, I will send it again during the day, go to bed first, good night everyone
