The End of Technology

In space, more than 3,000 floating ships are still conducting blanket search and rescue missions, and the impact of the Earth base announcement has begun to become apparent.

Zhuo Mingqian was right. If we act within the established rules, the base does not have the power to enforce the law. But the influence of the base can make many lives worse than death. After all, for many people, living without money is definitely a kind of torture.

There is a saying that is very hypocritical, but it is extremely applicable here - I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

For the vast majority of people who have enjoyed glory and wealth for half their lives, suddenly being forced to live a life of pauper is indeed more uncomfortable than killing them. The degree of discomfort is directly proportional to their previous status and wealth. Therefore, the base's announcement hit some people very accurately.

For Zhuo Mingqian, all he needs to do is to buy some time and let these people cause chaos on their own.

Express your stance, wait for these people to cause chaos, and then use pro-base external forces such as Dupont Le and Nissen Mountbatten to quickly advance and calm the situation and return the base to normal.

This is Zhuo Mingqian's entire plan.

There aren't too many bells and whistles, just an upright conspiracy. It's just borrowing the influence of the base, and it still needs some time to brew. It takes time to wait and see, and it takes time to test. When these people feel how determined the base's will is, they will naturally make the most self-interested choice.

Zhuo Mingqian is not afraid of many saints on the opposite side.

Most of those saints who do not care about personal gains and losses and are full of compassion for others are only active on the Internet. He trusts these people to make the right choices under pressure.

Striving for complete unity is deceiving Chen Xi. Zhuo Mingqian knew very well that it was just a vision. The strength of the base is that it can gather enough information through its intelligent brain, allowing decision-makers to quickly determine who can be used, who should be killed as a warning, who are weak wall-riders, and who are tough and impossible to change their beliefs. molecular.

Just like what Ning Zi once said to Dupont Le, they never realized the true strength of the base. It’s not just a base on the moon, nor more than 3,000 aerospace ships in the sky, but an artificial intelligence that has unknowingly mastered more than 90% of the world’s computing power, and its powerful screening and analysis capabilities have transformed the world. There are no secrets, only permissions.

How many permissions you have, how many secrets you can peek into.

In fact, when talking to Dupont Le that day, Ning Zi picked up Yue Yue and dangled it in front of his eyes. It was not just a whim to show March to Dupont Le, but Ning Zi was not sure about the base at that time. Is this path correct?

No one likes all kinds of conspiracies, but all kinds of conspiracies are an integral part of this world. The intervention of artificial intelligence will make all secrets that have appeared on the Internet transparent, and may even make everyone transparent. At that time, Ning Zi hadn't figured out how to restrict this kind of authority.

Fortunately, ten years have passed, and there have been no problems with the distribution of authority under the leadership of March. Some of the things Ning Zi was worried about did not happen, and the resources that the base could control still maintained maximum utilization efficiency until today.

Of course, in Zhuo Mingqian's opinion, these are all the work of Zhinao. Who wouldn't like a computer that seems to understand human nature and always gives the optimal solution?

…

In the deep space about 4.8 million kilometers away from Mars, the large scientific research ship Kuafu is constantly circling around the speeding comet.

Reentering the orbit of a comet is not a simple matter. Fortunately, the people on the spacecraft have long been accustomed to this kind of thing. The process of completing the space program is nothing more than waiting, waiting, and waiting. There is no rush.

The most depressing thing is actually that it is too far away from the earth, and there is no fixed route. This results in not enough communication buoys to ensure communication. The Earth's network can only be connected intermittently every day, which also means that most of the time on this ship, all electronic devices can only access the ship's internal network.

Of course, even if everyone knows that occasional communication can be successful, no one will connect to the earth's network unless there is something special.

Firstly, the time for unimpeded communication is not fixed; secondly, even if the network can be connected, the delay is enough to make people who have long been accustomed to high-speed Internet feel desperate. In short, it is meaningless.

When there are no scientific research tasks, you can go to the observation tower to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the universe.

Well, no one is actually interested in this either.

The entire eight watchtowers on the Kuafu, which can accommodate more than 200 people in total, have been empty for a long time. People who have never been on a spaceship may have high expectations for the so-called beauty of the universe, but for people on board, most of the time the universe can be described in two or three words - empty, silent and boring.

The most important thing is that no one on the ship is in love, and there are no liberal arts students. No one will feel sad in the silent darkness.

But today in Observation Tower No. 1, there is a man and woman hugging each other in the classic posture on the Titanic.

That's right, he was the only one with a family.

It can be seen from his expression that he is somewhat helpless in this pose.

But I had no choice but to apologize, so I had to find a way to make amends.

"Hey, it's boring. You're just a piece of wood, with no sentimentality at all." Finally, Lu Xiaoya put down her open hands, turned half of her body, and said coquettishly.

"You shouldn't know about my lack of mood today." The tone of the statement told a fact. A little aggrieved, but not much.

I cooperated with classmate Lu Xiaoya in posing here mainly because I felt guilty.

From Ning Zi's perspective, this trip to Mars is very meaningful. For mother and son who have never experienced a space voyage, it must be a rare experience in life, and they will definitely enjoy this trip. But the reality is that in less than a week, mother and son have already begun to miss the happy life on earth and complain about the boring life on the ship.

This is an overly subjective mistake, and you have to admit it.

But there is no way. Currently, except for the Kuafu and Nuwa, including the Wu Gang, they do not have the ability to sail across space. Not to mention those floating boats on the Kuafu. So there was no way to send the mother and son back to Earth, so he could only bear these two grievances.

Ning Zi didn't care much about the children's grievances. Adhering to the fine tradition of the Ning family, if a child disobeys, he will be beaten twice before he becomes obedient. So today, I took Lu Xiaoya to the watchtower while the children were sleeping to find romance between the old couple.

"Okay, you win. For the sake of your contribution to the country, I won't care about you. Oh... otherwise I will be surrounded by a bunch of aunts to talk to each other again." Lu Xiaoya muttered He muttered a curse word.

Ten years have not left many marks on Lu Xiaoya's face. There is a role for the biochip in this, and on the other hand, it is probably because she has been living a carefree life. If you don't have anything to worry about in life, you will naturally look younger.

Ning Zi was very sensible and remained silent.

He had to be blamed for this. After being married for more than ten years, it was inevitable that we would occasionally quarrel. After a quarrel, he casually let it slip in the Ningyuan office, which attracted the school's full attention. So Lu Xiaoya was dragged by many aunts that day. We talked for an entire afternoon... In Lu Xiaoya's words, she would have to remember this for the rest of her life.

"By the way, has the news come back from Earth? Is Chen Xi's child okay?"

After playing a little tantrum, Lu Xiaoya asked worriedly. Ning Zi didn't hide this from Lu Xiaoya, and she couldn't hide it either. After all, he lost his temper and made such a big move on the spaceship.

"The person has been rescued, and the base is handling follow-up matters." Ning Zi replied.

Although the connection with the earth is not smooth, March is on the spacecraft. As long as the information can be connected, March will maintain contact with the base. Even if the Internet speed is slower, receiving messages is no problem for March.

"It's good that we have been rescued." Lu Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked doubtfully: "Everyone has been rescued, what follow-up matters need to be dealt with? Is Chen Xi injured?"

"Fortunately, he is fine. However, the occurrence of this kind of thing on the Earth-Moon Channel is a very dangerous sign. Zhuo Mingqian is dealing with these problems. After so many years, with so many people in the entire base, he still understands the matter best." Ning Zi sighed with emotion.

"He doesn't see things clearly, he sees you clearly. When Director Zhuo handles things, he will always try to figure out what you would do, and then solve the problem in your own way. So you like to praise him, because you praise him. He is just praising yourself." Lu Xiaoya rolled her eyes at Ning Jie and commented very pertinently.

"Huh? Is there any?" Ning Zi looked at Lu Xiaoya in shock and asked.

"Otherwise? Lao Zhuo originally had a gentle and sunny temperament, but it was not influenced by you, but now he has become more and more gloomy." Lu Xiaoya nodded affirmatively.

Women are far more sensitive than men in this regard, not to mention that Ning Zi doesn't like to think about these things.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Xiaoya is very free and has a lot of time to pay attention to and observe the people around Ning Zi and ponder their thoughts and temperaments.

The scene when he first met Zhuo Mingqian came to Ning Zi's mind, and she couldn't help but smile when she thought of the guy talking about the porn theory in front of him when they first met.

How can I put it this way? This guy was really bright back then. How could he be a teenager at that time?

"Why are you giggling? Sit down." Lu Xiaoya then sat on the chair in the observation tower and looked out the window.

Before going to space, many people said that stars could not be seen in the universe, but they were actually spreading rumors. In fact, it's just the opposite. From a purely visual perspective, looking down at the starry sky in space is a very romantic thing, away from light pollution. There are stars in the dark curtain, which can easily make people fall into an ethereal state.

I just appreciate it too much and my aesthetics is tired. Lu Xiaoya no longer felt the excitement she felt when she first boarded the ship, and she no longer felt that it was a rare thing to be able to enjoy the starry sky near Mars.

Ning Zi sat next to Lu Xiaoya, followed the woman's gaze at the magnificent scene through the porthole, and said as if dreaming: "Most of the stars we can see here are stars, or they are farther away. Just think about it, photons emitted by dozens or even millions of stars 30,000 light-years away traveled in the universe for more than 30,000 years before being captured by our eyes. What a great miracle it is!

What we are doing now is to explore and conquer these wonders. Really, maybe you feel bored on the ship, but whenever I think that one day I will be able to uncover the deepest mysteries of the universe and the mission of so-called intelligent creatures in the universe, I still feel so excited that I can’t help myself!

And the universe is far more than this! Our universe operates according to certain rules, and the universe operates according to certain rules. This is an extremely mysterious thing. All natural rules, macro and micro, make everything run in an orderly manner. Just like the comet we want to capture this time, it carries a huge amount of water vapor, various resources, and may even have life.

Every time it passes by a planet, part of it may be emitted and then captured by the planet's gravity, even like a life recharger that is always on the go. If you look further, these celestial bodies that move according to certain rules seem to have their own intelligence. During the expansion period of the universe, it is like a growing body, and the planet inside is withering, just like cells that have completed their tasks and are dying.

But at the same time, new stars are being born, just like our metabolism. When people's bodies and minds become obsessed with these mysteries, who wants to think about those messy things on earth? How ridiculous is it to fight for the pitiful wealth on earth? If the plan to transform the planet is completed, every person on earth may become a god in the future.

Because there are far more stars in the sky than there are humans on the earth! When an intelligent civilization begins to spread out in the universe, it will be the greatest thing from a macro perspective! It means that countless galaxies will be transformed, countless information will be transmitted in this universe at faster than the speed of light, and we will even be able to witness different physical laws and higher dimensions that are only in theory. And when these quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, do you know what will happen at that time? "

Ning Zi looked at the woman beside him with bright eyes. The woman who was leading the conversation just now had a blank look on her face. Then he shook his head simply.

"Human civilization as a whole will inevitably evolve again under the fusion of different environments. We cannot yet determine the direction of evolution, but what is certain is that different physical environments and rules will inevitably lead to genes that are more beneficial during selection. Change the direction of survival. One generation, two generations, three generations...

In the future, our descendants may marry or marry a prince or princess from the HD1 galaxy in the solar system. What changes will occur after their genes are fused? This is the future of mankind! If civilization cannot expand into the stars, then what is the difference between the earth we live on and the cage we live in? "

"so?"

"So I like Zhuo Mingqian's decision. I can allow those people not to see the future that far away, but I will never allow them to change the future!"
