Chapter 411 The future direction
Just as various humanistic activities are booming, there is a vigorous handover process for new and old people in Kunlun Mountain. Since there are a large number of people who retire at one time, the handover work is also quite complicated. It is estimated that it will take three to five years to complete the entire work.
The repeated internal meetings made Zhang Yuan exhausted. He was no longer the young man who could only sleep for three or four hours a day. After working for a long time, he would feel tired from time to time, and sometimes he would be distracted and napping. This is a physiological phenomenon caused by aging as he gets older, and cannot be overcome by just will.
However, the development of the entire civilization has become formal, and it is time to hand it over to the next generation of successors, and there is nothing to worry about.
Now that I have shared some of the power in my hands, I finally have some free time and slightly restored from the original "tool person" to his original appearance. This feeling is quite good.
Yes, when a leader of a civilization, most of the time, he is indeed a tool person. He cannot laugh when he should laugh, and cannot cry when he should cry. He can only hold his emotions in his heart. He must represent the absolute justice and direction of civilization!
But, this is too tiring.
Even steel can be metal fatigue, not to mention living humans.
Life after retirement will undoubtedly be much easier. You can do something you like, sleep in, or play electronic games, especially the popular virtual space games recently. Zhang Yuan was originally a person who likes novel things very much, if he had put it in the past, he would never have time to experience these fresh products. At most, he would just try it out casually.
Zhang Yuan looked at the stars in the distance and the light blue Tep star and whispered: "From the civilizations we have encountered, we can see that some civilizations in the universe are more unfortunate than us, and some are more lucky than us."
"From the perspective that we are already an interstellar civilization, we should be considered a lucky part... From the perspective of probability mountain, at least 90% of civilizations are weaker than us."
Some of the young men behind him were Zhang Yuan's successors, and some of them were young deputy captains, all of them did not speak.
Zhang Yuan asked again: "Where do you think the most unfortunate thing about human beings is? Or what is the imperfect part of human civilization?"
"Isn't it perfect... the lifespan is too short." Dr. Li Cheng from the Secretariat replied: "Compared with the Badits, human lifespan is too short. Most people are not very smart in their heads, and it is difficult to adapt to long-distance starry sky navigation."
"In the Middle Age of Discovery, humans could only endure loneliness for two or three months. It took Columbus two months to discover the New World; it took Magellan three years to travel around the world, but at least 17 times, which was equivalent to two months stopping on the shore once. If there were more, it would not work, and the sailors had to rebel."
"…The same is true for the Great Star Age. If the Kunlun Mountain Society was not large enough and forced to shorten the time it felt through hibernation, this kind of interstellar travel would be too boring for humans. Outer space workers would occasionally have fear of the wilderness, and even after training, there would still be such a probability."
Generally speaking, the population of Kunlun Mountain with a population of more than 10 million is about one million for a long period of sobriety, which can be regarded as a medium-sized city, so everyone will not be lonely.
In addition, hibernation, that is, a 50-year interstellar journey, people only feel it for five years, which is acceptable.
Dr. Li Cheng continued: "The short life span not only leads to the short peak period of human beings, but also hinders the development of science and technology. Although the peak period of intelligence is long, the peak period of creativity is not long."
"In terms of ideological aspects, people prefer to settle on a planet. So we can only build huge motherships like Kunlun Mountain to gain a deep sense of security... In fact, the probability of settlement mode being stuck in mediocrity is higher."
"In contrast, the Badits are much better. They only need a large shuttle and a population of 20,000 to survive a long time. They face the same thing and will not feel bored. Games like Tetris can be played for decades. In other words, the trigger modes of the happiness mechanism in the brain are different to a certain extent..."
Yes, the length of life span has a great impact on human ideology.
Taking the earth civilization as an example, in ancient times, humans got married and had children in their teens because they could only live for thirty years.
As a result, after the average life expectancy rose to 100 years, the number of older men and women increased significantly.
After the average life expectancy rises to 300 years old, there are not many people who get married. Everyone wants to play more and make more noise when they are young. Who would have thought of getting married as soon as possible and restraining themselves for three hundred years?
As for having children...that's something that I only consider after I was two hundred years old.
What, parenting and elderly care? Where did this come from the original man?
The above is the ideology of the earthlings. Human ideology will change with the economy and lifespan. If everyone can live for 30,000 or 5,000 years, it is very likely that even children are not interested in giving birth, and at least it is impossible to give birth to children in their twenties or thirties.
If there are still a lot of years to squander, who would like to start a family and start a business so early?
Of course, the ideological changes brought about by the growth of lifespan are very complex and are also the focus of discussion in the history of new civilizations. The thinking of long-term species and short-lived species is completely different.
After Li Cheng finished speaking, Zhang Yuan smiled undeniably, then nodded: "It's very good."
Immediately afterwards, the military chief of staff Ye Junchang replied: "I think the human body is too fragile, especially the nervous system is too fragile, and humans will always succumb to their own desires... Some habits that are conducive to survival in ancient times are still affecting us. But the benefits of ancient times, in modern times, are not necessarily beneficial."
"These living habits are essentially a very simple philosophical concept, that is, the theory of survival and reproduction. You do not need any thinking or education, and it exists. Under the influence of the original philosophy, many students have not even established the most basic modern philosophy. Even though our education system has emphasized this very much, they still don't know what the meaning of their existence is, and they just follow the society and go with the flow."
"The social atmosphere is good, so they are naturally careless. If the social environment is not good, they will soon fall into depravity."
Zhang Yuan smiled in his heart. Ye Junchang was a typical representative of the radical faction.
This faction is not very satisfied with the genetic philosophy of human beings and the driving force for the rise, and has formed a set of its own theories under the new civilization historiography system.
The core content of this set of theories is that although human beings follow the current development model, although they are in the ascending channel, they still have their own limits.
Human evil is often for no reason. It can be seen from a young age that some people like to bully others and cause destruction, while others like to pursue energy saving, are indifferent to what happens outside, and live in their own small world.
Even though some bad habits have been corrected through acquired education and various chip technologies, many things are still hidden and have not been completely eliminated.
In other words, cold and serious content cannot withstand vulgar entertainment. The more vulgar the content, the easier it is to spread widely. It is precisely for this kind of reason.
However, genetic philosophy involves the most core content of human beings, and it is not something that can be changed just by wanting it.
