The End of Technology

August 15, 2019, is undoubtedly a day worthy of being recorded in the history of human civilization.

Because today, for the first time, mankind has launched a true space exploration ship into the sky. This also represents the beginning of the earth's civilization truly beginning to explore the universe.

What many people didn't expect in particular was that they were notified only the night before that today's grand ceremony would be held on the Wu Gang. This is a surprise to most people, but a shock to a few. But whether it was surprise or shock, the invited guests probably felt the same when they lined up to wait to board the Dragon Spaceship, which then took them to the Wu Gang - shock!

Yes, it's shocking.

In fact, many people have already recognized that the Dragon Flying Spaceship is the protagonist in some of the most popular videos on the Internet not long ago. It has anti-gravity technology, can travel briefly in space a hundred kilometers away from the earth, has anti-satellite technology, and even supports unmanned driving technology. It can be called the largest unmanned spacecraft in the world.

But they probably never expected that the base would use the Longxiang spacecraft as the ferry boat to board Wu Gang this time.

Can this be put on show? Why isn't it too advanced to be displayed?

What is more terrifying than the known is often the unknown.

It seems that what is more terrifying than the Dragon Flying Spaceship and the Wu Gang is that there are still things being researched in this base that are inconvenient to display. Maybe even these things have come to fruition.

Of course, some people are not surprised, such as Tim Cook.

At this moment, the Apple CEO unconsciously thought of what Ning Zi said to him that day.

"The really scary thing is what you can't see!"

"You have no access to the real secrets!"

Tim Cook even remembered that when Ning Zi said this, the cat holding him swayed in front of his eyes.

So he is probably most certain that there is a bigger secret in this base, and the artificial intelligence that this secret points to is a very broad concept. This should be valuable information but is actually useless. Because of Youwei and Apple's products, because of Faster, and because of the N1 robot, the whole world knows that Ningji is at the forefront of the world's research on strong artificial intelligence.

But what else artificial intelligence can do, they can only rely on imagination, and the answer has even been given in many science fiction movies. It’s just that Tim Cook knows very well that even if artificial intelligence does destroy the world in the future, there is nothing they can do about this base now.

Not because of the Longxiang spacecraft, nor because of the Wu Gang, but a small biochip and matching nanorobot.

Until their labs truly conquer this technology, the entire world will lose its basis for unity. This is a de facto division, which can probably be summarized as technology changing people's hearts. Even though Tim Cook saw it clearly, he couldn't refuse.

Ah……

Who would say no to nearly doubling the quality lifespan?

After all, this is the best era, an era in which you can see the future if you live long.

…

"Tim, what are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"

A familiar voice woke Tim Cook out of his reverie. The Apple CEO turned to look at the old man next to him.

Then he turned to look at the lively scene in the lounge, and then showed a polite smile: "I didn't mean anything, Mr. Dupont, I'm just feeling a little emotional."

"Ha, I'm emotional. Yes, I also have a lot of emotions. I don't know how to express them." As he said that, the old man stood next to Tim Cook and looked out the window.

It was only 6:10 in the morning, but it was already very bright outside.

Of course, this is not due to the sun. In fact, the only disadvantage of living in the base these days is that you can't see the sun.

The Wu Gang's huge body is enough to put the entire base under its shadow. But when the lights on the Wu Gang came on, it was enough to make the entire base look like daylight.

At this time, there were busy figures of staff everywhere outside the window, coming in and out of the Longxiang spacecraft responsible for today's ferry mission.

At this time, another Longxiang spacecraft in the distance had slowly lifted off and headed straight for the Wu Gang in the sky. This probably means that there are two Longxiang spacecrafts responsible for ferrying today.

"It took two spaceships to ferry us. Do you know how many such spaceships there are under this base?" The old man sighed with emotion.

Tim Cook shook his head. This was probably classified as confidential. Of course he couldn't know it, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't be able to say it on such an occasion. So Tim Cook decisively changed the topic: "The two spaceships are very good and can allow us to get up as soon as possible. I heard that the base invited tens of thousands of people to watch the ceremony today, so I don't know how long it will take just to board the ship. .”

The old man nodded and said: "This is probably the reason why the ceremony starts at ten o'clock in the morning, but requires us to get up at five o'clock in the morning. The Chinese people pay more attention to the steps and etiquette of the ceremony. In fact, now that I think about it, this is probably an advantage. .”

Tim Cook looked at the scene outside the window, nodded again, and agreed with the old man's statement. Then he glanced at Nissen Mountbatten, who was surrounded by many people and was talking loudly, and said: "You are not going to listen. Listen to Mr. Mountbatten’s ideas?”

The old man followed Tim Cook's gaze, then shook his head and said: "No, we are all the same kind, and we are all the same - greedy. Greedy people don't like to make friends with the same kind, let alone care about them. idea. Because I know very well that he and I will not be friends, or even partners with related interests. Because our basic interests will inevitably conflict in the future."

Tim Cook no longer wants to have any communication with the old man in front of him.

Because the two of them are actually similar, they both live too soberly. Many people think that people with the same personality become friends easily, but the reality is often just the opposite. After all, making friends is not about looking in the mirror.

Fortunately, the staff walked into the room accordingly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. It's your turn to board the ship soon. There are some precautions that I need to explain to you before boarding. Please strictly abide by them, otherwise there will be no serious consequences. It will be your own responsibility.

First of all, after boarding the ferry, please do not move around casually and stay in the designated waiting area. The ferry boat operation only takes 90 seconds, but boarding and disembarking are expected to take 10 minutes. Please help us save some time.

Secondly, after landing on the Wu Gang, everyone can move around freely. There are ten cafeterias, 80 viewing rooms and other entertainment facilities on the Wu Gang for everyone to use for free. If you want to watch the scenery, there are 968 270-degree porthole observation decks distributed on each floor for everyone to use. It is a tour, but please pay attention to the prohibited areas marked, and intrusion is absolutely not allowed there.

Because the Wu Gang has a very complete security system, intruders may be directly attacked according to the security level of certain areas. Please stay away from danger. In addition, if you need to smoke, please go to the designated smoking area, otherwise you may be ejected from the spacecraft.

In addition, because today’s viewing ceremony includes a space tour, the Wu Gang will orbit our home planet, the Earth, along the equator. Because there is a process between entering space and before the gravity system starts, it will experience a weightless environment. Please Be sure to pay attention to the announcements and follow the advice and guidance of the ship's staff.

For example, sit firmly in your position before losing weight, or go to an area dedicated to experiencing the feeling of weightlessness to avoid accidental injuries. Finally, if a robot walks by you, please do not interfere with its operation. They may be completing a command. Currently, the N1 robot does not have the function of chatting with others.

Finally, I would like to give you a suggestion. Because of your distinguished status, you are the third batch of passengers to board the ship, so I suggest that you go to the eight observation decks on the bottom floor of the Wu Gang to occupy a good position. When the Wu Gang is sailing in space, there are It is the best viewing area. There is no need to worry about missing the lift-off ceremony. All aspects are broadcast through the holographic system and broadcast system, and can be viewed from any corner of the Wu Gang.

Now please follow me. I will take you to the testing area. After passing the testing, you can board the ship. "

The lounge suddenly became quiet...

It's finally starting.

…

At the same time, the Wu Gang command tower.

Ning Zi was taking Lu Xiaoya to visit the operation of the world's first spaceship. At this time, there were only two people here, no, there was also a cat. But today the kitten was very quiet, just lying there and watching the two of them.

There is still a long time before the spacecraft is officially launched, so countless displays turn the entire control center into a romantic starry sky. Of course, this does not mean that these screens are only useful in this way. If you just click on a certain star, surveillance video of a certain area will appear, and you can even choose holographic simulation.

It's basically equivalent to "seeing" the entire spacecraft just by standing here.

The only problem is that the Wu Gang is so big that the stars representing a certain location on the spacecraft are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Even if you just sit here, it will probably take you a day or two to finish the tour.

And people's patience is limited after all. This kind of sightseeing mode is interesting at first, but after the excitement period reaches the threshold, the interest begins to plummet, and then it just feels boring. Classmate Lu Xiaoya is obviously not immune.

Lu Xiaoya boarded the Wu Gang with Ning Jie at 5:30, and then clicked on the present with interest. Today was her first time boarding the Wu Gang, so she was naturally curious about everything, but she still felt a little tired after watching it for more than forty minutes.

He leaned his whole body against Ning Zi's body and touched his belly that had not yet had time to swell.

"Tired?" Ning Zi asked.

"Yes." Lu Xiaoya nodded heavily.

Since she found out she was pregnant, her work and rest habits have been very good. She goes to bed at ten o'clock every night and gets up at seven o'clock in the morning. But in order not to miss today's grand ceremony, I climbed out of bed with Ning Zi at five o'clock. I did feel a little tired.

"How about you go to the lounge and take a nap? I'll call you when the ceremony starts."

"No!" Lu Xiaoya shook her head and rejected Ning Zi's considerate suggestion.

There is no way she likes excitement the most. Today is a rare big scene, so sleeping is naturally impossible. Not to mention that she still had to wait for Ning Xiao and Ning Yulin to come and visit Wu Gang's ship together. Originally, I was going to pick up the Ning family last night. But Ning's father had something to do, so he finally decided to send a car to pick them up this morning.

"I know you have important people to receive later, but I just want to wait for Sister Ning Xiao to come and take Yulin with me to go shopping. It won't delay your business."

Ning Zi smiled and said: "There is only one person who needs me to receive him, and the schedule has been decided. He won't come until half past eight. I'm just afraid that you haven't had a good rest and my dad will be angry if he finds out. ”

"By the way, I heard that our dad had a good chat with an aunt recently?"

"um, yes."

"Then is he going to be with that aunt?"

"It shouldn't be possible."

"Why? Don't you agree?"

"Well, because that aunt has been confirmed to be a spy."

"Come again? Then our dad..."

"It's okay, he's used to it. The reason why they couldn't come last night was because of this. In fact, I've suspected it for a long time, and confirmed it a few days ago. But I didn't feel comfortable telling him, but I couldn't hide it yesterday. Really There is no reason to refuse her to attend this ceremony. You know, you will definitely go to some confidential places." Ning Zi explained.

"This is really... really... really..." Lu Xiaoya didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

A lot of things have indeed happened at home in the past two years, but the most worrying thing is her father-in-law.

Finally, with the persuasion of my family, I planned to start a new life and build a new family. This was the third time in a row that I met someone unkind. If I think about it for a moment, I feel that it is indeed not easy for my father-in-law in his life.

"Wait a minute, I've already suspected it, why didn't you remind our dad?"

"They don't always report everything to me immediately, and this kind of thing is quite special. By the way, do you remember that I promised you to be the female captain of the moon?"

Calmly, Ning Zi changed the subject.

He didn't feel comfortable saying that his father wouldn't suffer any loss in this kind of thing anyway, so he didn't explain anything in advance.

It's like parents always feel that their children should go through ups and downs before they can grow up. Ning Zi also feels that her father has learned some lessons so that he can be more accurate in judging people in the future.

Fortunately, this method of changing the topic is very useful. Student Lu obviously did not hear the difference between "report everything to me as soon as possible" and "report to me as soon as possible". He just looked at Ning Zi in surprise and said, "That was a joke. You can't be serious, can you?"

Ning Zi replied seriously: "Of course I am serious, otherwise what would I be doing building a spaceship?"

Obviously, this sentence occupied all the thinking space of the girl's brain and directly caused her to "go offline." He looked at Ning Zi in surprise, then raised a finger and pointed at his small nose: "Me? The head of the moon?"

"Well, that's right. I'll explain it to you later. Believe me, I'm very stable!"
