Chapter 419

At a time when various cultural activities are booming, there is a vigorous handover of new and old people in Kunlun mountain. Due to the large number of one-time retirees, the handover work is also quite complicated. It is estimated that it will take three to five years to complete the whole work.

After internal meetings, Zhang Yuan was exhausted. He is no longer the young man who can sleep only three or four hours a day. After working for a long time, you will feel tired from time to time and sometimes take a nap. This itself is a physiological phenomenon caused by aging after getting old, which can not be overcome by simple will.

However, the development of the whole civilization has entered the formal stage. It is time to hand it over to the next generation of successors. There is nothing to worry about.

Now, after sharing some of the power in hand, I finally have some leisure time to recover from the original "tool man" to my original appearance. This feeling is quite good.

Yes, when a leader of civilization, most of the time, he is indeed a tool man. He can't laugh when he should laugh and 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 it's too tired.

Even steel can fatigue metals, not to mention living humans.

Life after retirement will undoubtedly be much easier. You can do something you like, sleep in, or play video games, especially the recently popular virtual space games. Zhang Yuan was originally a person who liked novelty very much. If he put it in the past, he could not have time to experience these new products. At most, he just tasted them.

Looking at the distant star and the light blue TEP star, Zhang Yuan said softly, "from these civilizations we have encountered, we can see that there are some civilizations in the universe that are more unfortunate than us and some that are luckier than us."

"From the perspective that we are already an interstellar civilization, we should be regarded as a lucky member... From the 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 were young vice captains. They all didn't speak.

Zhang Yuan asked, "what do you think is the most unfortunate place for mankind? Or, what is the imperfection of human civilization? "

"Not perfect... Life is too short." Dr. Li Cheng of the Secretariat replied: "compared with the badit people, human life is too short, and most people's brains are not too smart, so it is difficult to adapt to long-distance star navigation."

"In the era of great navigation in the middle ages, only two or three months could man endure loneliness. Columbus discovered the new world in two months; Magellan traveled around the world for 3 years, but stopped at least 17 times, which is equivalent to stopping on shore once every two months. No more. Sailors have to rebel. "

"... the same is true of the great star age. If the Kunlun Mountain society was not large enough and forced to shorten the time of feeling through hibernation, this kind of interstellar travel would be too boring for mankind. Outer space workers sometimes have wilderness fear. Even after training, there is still such a probability. "

Generally speaking, the population of more than 10 million people in Kunlun Mountain has a long-term sober life of about 1 million. It can be regarded as a medium-sized city, so everyone will not be alone.

Plus hibernation, that is, a 50 year interstellar journey, people feel only five years, which is acceptable.

Dr. Li Cheng continued: "the short life span not only leads to the short peak period of mankind, 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. "

"Ideologically, people prefer to settle on a planet. So we can only build a huge Mothership like Kunlun mountain to get a deep sense of security... In fact, the probability of falling into mediocrity is higher in the settlement mode. "

"In contrast, badit people are much superior. They only need a large shuttle and 20000 people to survive a long time. They don't feel bored when they face the same thing. Games such as Tetris can be played for decades. That is, the trigger patterns of happiness mechanism in the brain are different to a certain extent... "

Yes, the length of life has a great impact on human ideology.

Take earth civilization as an example. In ancient times, humans married and had children when they were teenagers because they could only live for 30 years.

Results after the average life expectancy rose to 100 years old, the number of older men and women increased significantly.

When the average life expectancy rises to 300 years old, there are not even married people. Everyone wants to play more and make more noise when they are young. Who wants to get married as soon as possible and bind themselves for 300 years.

As for having children... That's something you don't think about until you're 200.

What, childcare? Where did this primitive man come from?

The above is the earth people's ideology. Human ideology will change with the economy and life span. If everyone can live for three or five thousand years, it is likely that even children are not interested in having children, at least it is impossible to have children in their twenties and thirties.

If there are still a lot of years to spend, who is willing to start a family so early?

Of course, the ideological changes brought about by the growth of life span are very complex, which is also the focus of new civilization historiography. The thinking of long-lived species and short-lived species is very different.

After Li Cheng finished, Zhang Yuan smiled irrefutably, and then nodded, "that's very good."

Then, ye Jun, the chief of staff of the military, often replied, "I think the human body is too fragile, especially the nervous system is too fragile, and human beings will always succumb to their desires... Some habits conducive to survival in ancient times still affect us. But the advantages of ancient times are not necessarily favorable in modern times. "

"These living habits are essentially a set of very simple philosophical concepts, that is, the theory of survival and reproduction. You don't need any thinking and education, it exists. Under the influence of primitive philosophy, many students have not even established the most basic modern philosophy, even though our education system has emphasized this very much. However, they still don't know what the meaning of their existence is. They just follow the society. "

"If the social atmosphere is good, they will naturally be careless. If the social environment is bad, they will soon degenerate."

Zhang Yuan smiled in his heart. Ye Jun is often a typical representative of the radical school.

This faction is not satisfied with human's own genetic philosophy and the driving force of rise, and has formed its own set of theories under the historical system of new civilization.

The core content of this set of theories is that according to the current development model, although mankind is walking in the rising channel, it still has its own limits.

Human evil is often unprovoked. We can see from childhood that some people like to bully others and do damage, while others like to pursue energy conservation, 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 not completely eliminated.

In other words, high cold and serious content can't do vulgar entertainment. The more vulgar it is, the easier it is to spread widely. It's precisely because of this kind of reason.

However, gene philosophy involves the core content of human beings, which does not mean that it can be changed if you want to change it.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "so, first of all, we need to use technology to make up for IQ problems and control our desires... There is also the driving force to modify life. We don't know how to modify it? Modify genes? It's hard to do. "
