Chapter 505 Changes in the Times
The Spring Festival holiday has become a new cultural phenomenon. Due to the significant extension of human life span, there is a big year every ten years, and the holiday period is about 30-40 days. Most work will be stopped, and many entertainment activities will be held during this period.
The rest are the Little New Year, and the holiday time is about 10-15 days.
This year happened to be a big New Year. In the past, Zhang Yuan was just a little New Year. He would rather do experiments in the laboratory and had no interest in participating in these activities. There are many people like him. But this year, the laboratory has also forced a holiday and has to rest.
Suddenly, he relaxed and felt a very "unprofitable" feeling. Zhang Yuan finally managed to overcome this wonderful emotion.
"This is... the Snake Eater Mini Program? It's very good... I wrote this program at such a young age, which is not bad."
Zhang Yuan saw a gluttonous snake game on a large screen ahead.
The picture is very simple, and the program of gluttonous snakes is also very simple. In theory, you can complete it by learning a two-dimensional array, but you should know that the designers of these programs are only 9 years old...
There is also a fighting robot competition ahead, with various tall robots "ding Ding Dangdang", passionate hand-to-hand combat, and various parts flying around. This kind of competition is usually divided into two modes, one is the mutual fighting between artificial intelligence, and this is real swords, real guns rely on level and technology.
There is also a team game controlled by humans through remote VR software, with 5 robots in a group, and other messy things like fighting soldiers, upgrading, pushing towers, etc.
In short, the winning group can get a large bonus, attracting many viewers. It is quite lively to watch robot fights at the sports scene, with all kinds of parts crackling around the ground, and everyone is cheering for their team.
Even if all kinds of hot weapons can kill these robots in seconds with just one shot, everyone still likes to watch cold weapons fighting. Occasionally hot weapons have cooldown time, which may be due to the instinct of human beings to advocate power in their bones.
There is also a spaceship modeling competition ahead, which is a competition for the university group.
In addition, there are virtual world game competitions, e-sports, space movies, etc. Various columns are launched during the Spring Festival holiday.
He is a person who prefers to try new things. While enjoying various competitions, he bought a pack of strange purple beans, which tasted like a crispy chicken.
It is said that this alien plant called "Atlas" is rich in a lot of starch and is easier to digest. It can completely replace rice and become a staple food for humans.
Even if you eat only these beans, you can get all the nutrients needed by the body, including the necessary amino acids, various vitamins, proteins and other nutrients needed by the human body... Therefore, this alien bean has become an important food reserve within the spacecraft. Once an emergency occurs, people can survive very healthily if they only eat only those beans...
The changes in the times seem to be not as great as imagined, but they are already very different from the past.
Soon, the day passed in a hurry, and Zhang Yuan felt degenerate...
On this day, nothing was done and then it passed.
This is how life is, and working and leisure are the real life. In fact, life has no purpose, and the existence of civilization itself has no purpose.
Even if the future is dim, life still needs to continue. Should we cry and sigh all day long? Of course it is impossible.
Zhang Yuan suddenly understood why all civilizations in the interstellar trading market want to create a false bubble of progress, and who is willing to destroy this happy scene?
Will this bubble be of any benefit to your civilization if it bursts?
Not.
Blindly bursting the bubble, the high-spirited confidence will immediately urge you, and they will definitely not be as happy as they are now.
Ordinary people always think that the government can take charge of everything and solve all difficulties. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. It is very difficult to truly recognize whether your civilization is progressing. The information in this era is still exploding, and there are too many messy information.
The ordinary people actually live by relying on social inertia in such a confusing way, even the interstellar era is no exception.
...
At 5 pm, Zhang Yuan received a text message saying that a member of the small family greeted him for supper.
He quickly turned around and entered a Chinese restaurant.
Having said that, Lao Zhang is now 67 years old, and his brothers and sisters are older, almost 70 years old. In the past, he had already stepped into the coffin with one foot, but now he still looks like a young man.
The weirdest thing is that many people have not found their own life partners and are bachelors one by one.
My sister Hua Yun has a husband who has been together for many years and has used love chips. She is the only one who started a family.
Zhao Congcong's boyfriend has changed several times and has never registered for marriage. After less than 7 years of marriage, he has not even qualified to use love chips.
There is also Lu Tao who is only a few days older than Zhang Yuan. He doesn't know what he is doing, but he has never been in a relationship... He is already 68 years old and just found a robot girlfriend to satisfy his love life.
Everyone is not paying attention to these things at the dining table, and they are talking more about certain games, some alien movies, the development of technology, various news gossip, etc.
This is also a unique change in the times.
As life spans grow, love becomes increasingly unreliable. Using love chips can indeed enhance pleasure, force two people to bind, and finally turn into longer-term family affection. However, there are still a large number of bachelors in young people today.
The reasons for the birth of a large number of bachelors are very complicated: on the one hand, various robot partners are becoming more and more perfect; on the other hand, there are fewer people writing love novels, and all kinds of TV series that you love me and I love you are gone and can only be found in the original database. The reduction in this type of cultural output has led to girls becoming more and more rational.
Everyone knows that the so-called love is just the product of the surging hormones.
On the other hand, in order to pursue freshness, many young people prefer to change their partners constantly. If they keep changing partners, the pleasure is actually similar to love chips...
In fact, this phenomenon of constantly changing partners is a common "Coolidge effect" in biology, that is, the phenomenon of male animals immediately mating with their new spouses after mating.
Most animals no longer have sexual behavior even if their original spouse is around them for a period of time after mating. This stage is called the sexual refractory period.
However, if a male animal is given a new estrus object after mating, its refractory period will be greatly shortened, and even mating behavior will be immediately excited.
Humans cannot avoid this phenomenon. To give a simple example, many people have no feelings for their wives who have been married for several years, and are very enthusiastic about other people's wives, even if other people's wives are not as good-looking as their wives... This is the so-called "Coolidge effect".
The emergence of this strange phenomenon is mainly to facilitate the increase of reproduction success rate in the primitive era. However, in the interstellar era, it has become a social instability point.
Humans are animals with emotions, and it is impossible to run away after playing. If a large number of such scumbags and scumbags appear, they will be trapped by love and will be depressed, and will cause a lot of problems such as depression, causing social chaos.
In order to maintain social stability, the government has introduced a love whitelist system, encouraging everyone to register when they are in love, so as to prevent the occurrence of scumbags and scumbags and women from cheating.
