809 Is there a choice for the future?
The old man's words were already very cryptic and soft. Lanze suspected that what he really wanted to say was: There are destined to be some people who are not even qualified to die in space.
"Since the introduction of fetal development equipment into medical insurance in the last century, the citizens of our country have become different from human beings in other places." The old director said, "According to my observation, young people today are younger than I was. That generation is much better. After all, you children are better nourished in the womb. In the long run, I agree with you: Humanity itself will inevitably undergo species differentiation. But..."
The old man stopped and stared at Lan Ze:
"Do you think species differentiation is something in the distant future?"
"I didn't say that." Lan Ze tried his best to deny, but left a trail, "At least they haven't split up yet, right?"
"As a member of China, we should have been prepared a long time ago. Our research institute has collected many natural mutations from people on all continents, all of which have significant effects on the human body and are relatively safe. These are the future Resources for new humanity.
The mutations in your father and son are very valuable for spreading.
Our country must maintain the evolutionary advancement of the nation as a whole before it can become the main body of a new species in the future. We just need to take care of ourselves. International politics is fundamentally meaningless for a big country like ours. Things like Crescent City In a place like this where various countries and forces are in such a mess, it will save you some trouble if you don't get involved too much."
This old man...is now a complete "future race"ist. To be more precise, he should be called a "new species"ist.
No wonder he wants to give away his grandson. In his mind, the eldest grandson is just a fool.
"Crescent City is nothing more than a social experiment." Lanze tried to defend Space City.
"Is there any need for experimentation?" The old man shook his head, "It's just that sometimes, only bloodshed can dispel the luck of reform and make up the determination for revolution."
The atmosphere suddenly became tragic.
"Developing space is a common cause for all mankind." Lanze has always held this belief.
Zhang He also thinks so and has been working hard for it.
"Your wife is really ideal."
"Ex-wife."
After the words were spoken, he realized that he didn't mention Zhang He at all.
The old director smiled and said nothing.
Lanze defended from a different angle: "How many years can the human species exist? Under ideal conditions, it can exist for at most three to five million years. On the scale of the universe, it is only a blink of an eye. Then who should we take with us? What difference does it make who you bring with you? Only when we are united can we be stronger, isn’t this obvious?”
"You see, I am a human being." The old man replied. "I don't have many years to live. In the eyes of you young people, it is just a moment. But I still have to do what I should do. My principles have passed. If you don’t relax, you won’t relax in the future. Didn’t Governor Zhang tell you? In today’s world, it’s not that we don’t take foreigners to play, it’s that they don’t take us to play.”
It seems that there is such a thing... Chinese people are excluded in the federation.
Lan Ze is still very clear about the causes and consequences of Zhang He's departure from the alliance.
Counting from its predecessor, the United Nations, the Space Federation has become decadent and over 300 years old. If we only look at the human scandals of some major powers forming cliques and fighting for power and profit, the supranational organization of the Federation will simply have no continued existence. of necessity.
However, in the era of population crisis, China took the initiative to assume the logistical role of providing equipment for space development in order to preserve the country's precious young and middle-aged population. Over the years, too many resources have been invested in the consortium.
Who can be willing to give up?
"Have you ever heard of the Cathedral of St. Radiation?" the old man asked again.
The miraculous thing about this church is that it was built on an asteroid. The entire planet was transformed into the shape of a blue cross-shaped sacred object. A large chapel was hollowed out inside and a power device was installed on the outside, which can be adjusted at any time.
The orientation of sacred objects.
This church provides convenience for Blue Sect believers among interstellar developers. Regardless of whether they enter the church or not, they can worship at the appropriate moment in their minds.
Lan Ze nodded: "It's just religion."
"It's just? That's it? Then do you know that the church project was done by our country? I was watching the live broadcast on Earth back then, and I watched helplessly as this thing was built and formed by Chinese personnel and construction machinery. And then what? It turned into them directly.
It’s a miracle from the Blue Sect. Publicly proclaiming it is a gift from God. Isn’t it ridiculous?”
"Uh... anyone with eyes can see that it's an artificial thing, right?"
"You can never defeat the logic of the religious: God used pagans and machines to create miracles."
True faith always has a way to convince itself. Therefore it is unbreakable.
"Ignorance, exclusion..." Lan Ze whispered.
"They have long lost the strength to build; but they can declare at any time that the entire universe is a wealth given to them by God. As a result, plunder has gained the so-called 'legitimacy' and has become 'justice' with faith. And
Apart from refusing to build more 'miracles', do we have any other choice?"
"We also have religion."
"But it's far from enough. In these years of foreign exchanges, China has been working hard to promote Taoism through folk power. The concept of Tao and the gods of monotheistic religions are indeed similar. But they are fundamentally unable to compete." The old man said with a smile,
"Our cultural tradition is more rational. When the ancients said, 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as stupid dogs,' it was doomed that the relationship between man and Tao: not belief, but speculation."
Heaven and earth are not benevolent. Human beings are just one species of all things and have no special status.
Under monotheistic religions, believers are always special people and are looked upon differently by God.
The relationship between Tao and man, and the relationship between God and man, are fundamentally different.
Lan Ze's brother, Taoist Quanming, appeared in front of him: "Yes, the Taoist priests I have met are more like philosophers besides being good at Feng Shui."
"Thinking is the strength of our civilization. Why force yourself to associate with those beasts that have brains but don't use them?" The old man said cruel things in a gentle tone.
"You've almost convinced me. Aren't you just not bringing idiots to play with you?" Lan Ze was extremely disgusted with this kind of thing. When he was a child, his friends never brought idiots to play with him. By coincidence, he was the idiot. "Yes.
Okay, do you know the details of the nuclear facility development project launched by the Ministry of Nuclear Industry?"
"I'm not interested. I'm a doctor, and this is a medical research institute. What does it have to do with you building nuclear facilities?"
"You have the authority, but you are too lazy to understand?"
"right!"
