Chapter 465

After hearing Zhang Yuan's wonderful ideas, John shouted excitedly, "can quarks? You think beautiful! However, this possible scientific fantasy is really beautiful... "

All the people in the surrounding cafes looked at it curiously, so that John quickly suppressed his excitement and his voice gradually decreased.

They talked excitedly about the cultural changes, scientific and technological changes and difficulties of the new civilization, and recalled the past.

John used to be a pessimistic scientist, but now he benefits from new technology, is completely addicted to a large amount of knowledge, and is full of expectations for the future.

There are indeed many technologies expected to be realized, including highly complex things such as nano robots and artificial cells. They have been stuck for a long time in the past, and now they can move forward again. In the future trading market, mankind should also be able to gain a lot of new knowledge and have peaceful access to a more powerful civilization.

John shifted the topic from the technical level to other directions. He recalled his experience in the virtual world and told several short stories. He couldn't help sighing: "the reason why we feel it beautiful is that the whole society is still moving forward, there are all kinds of novel things to explore and look forward to the future."

"If we don't make progress, mankind will always fall into the strange circle of internal game. No matter what, it will become bad."

"Yes," Zhang Yuan said with deep sympathy, "in a world that remains unchanged, there will always be so many loopholes to drill... I've been thinking, is what we pursue constantly changing?"

"Just like the heat death of the universe, once in the heat death state, all atoms are evenly distributed, and there is no possibility of anything.

"What we pursue is to avoid this state of eternal stagnation... Eternal change?"

John was silent for a while. "You're right, and I hate that constant for a long time. A dead civilization is naturally gone, but a living civilization remains unchanged. It's really unbearable. Sometimes it's better to die than to live. "

Everyone has their own different experiences in the virtual world.

But people who don't have their own thinking ability can hardly return to the real world.

John is undoubtedly one of the best.

"Therefore, just as described in the history of new civilization, our first goal is to pursue eternal progress, the second goal is survival, and eternal progress is always the first goal!"

"Whoever hinders this progress is our enemy."

This should be the common idea of all transcendents.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yuan asked again, "have you met any other old acquaintances? If so, we can talk and drink coffee together. Although it feels good to be with young people, there is always a generation gap with them. "

"I didn't deliberately look for it. I've probably seen seven or eight. The return of the whole extraordinary has not been officially started. We are the first batch of experimental personnel to return. The number will not exceed 100. Don't expect too much. "

John shook his head: "moreover, it's been so long. I don't know whether they return to the world again, or whether they are the people they used to know. Hey, it's probably just looking for disappointment for themselves. Or maybe they will return after the restrictions are released, or maybe they won't. "

"When I saw you today, I couldn't help running over to greet you. I feel very happy... There's no need to find a psychological burden for myself."

Zhang Yuan sighed gently.

Yes, it has been so many years. After so many reincarnations, every aging and death will witness the departure of relatives and friends.

More experience over and over again, you will gradually see this point.

What is the most important thing for a person to live in this world?

It's yourself!

No one can accompany you to the end except yourself.

Every reincarnation has new relatives and friends and a new life. If you indulge in remembering old friends and indulging in the past, personal immortality will be a kind of pain.

This person will be lost in the virtual world and can no longer return to reality.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan smiled: "well, cheers to our new life!"

"Cheers!"

With a bang, they gently touched the cup. Zhang Yuan took a sip and joked, "the air is full of philosophy."

"Ha ha, we are all philosophers, but if a society is all philosophers, we can't do anything!" John said, "society needs more doers!"

"Doer!"

After the party, Zhang Yuan returned home with a trace of meaning.

Habitually turning on the computer, he found that the mailbox was full of scientific research documents, and his colleagues in the group were already discussing the next improvement plan with interest. There are also some letters, which are questions asked by scientific researchers in other research institutes. Zhang Yuanding settled down and replied patiently.

Not until eleven o'clock in the evening did I reply to all the documents and read the book for a while.

Recently, he inexplicably liked a novel "one hundred years of solitude" written by the writer Marquez thousands of years ago.

The whole book describes the changes in Latin America in the 20th century through a family. People are always lonely, and it is difficult to unify the scattered forces through an effective way. A person with ideals and burdens is often assimilated by the whole society, just like the fact that Latin America did not rise in the end. The transformation of a society is too complex.

There is such a sentence: "you hate those people so much, fight with them for so long, but finally become like them. There is no ideal in the world worth such destruction."

Everyone who has the ability to be complex but chooses simplicity knows the weight of this sentence.

This is also his normal day

In this way, year after year, the time from the interstellar trading market is slowly approaching, and the speed of the whole fleet is gradually slowing down.

Due to his outstanding achievements, Zhang Yuan successfully joined the ranks of interstellar diplomats. However, his usual work is still the same as before, and there is no big change. In addition to occasionally joining the diplomat's personal quality training

Through news reports, we can know that the whole fleet has received communication information from ships outside the Huantai civilization.

Simple contact has begun.

It is expected that in three years, the two main motherships will stay in the void at the outermost edge of the trading market, and then their diplomatic representatives will take some small spaceships to the exchange.

After all, it is a trade between civilization and civilization. It is impossible to send out all the staff like buying vegetables in the vegetable market. The vast majority of the population will be inside the mothership. Just send some elite representatives.

"There are still three years..." Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and looked forward to that day.

A great journey has finally come to an end. I don't know what mankind can harvest in the end

Occasionally one day, I meet old friends, look at each other, smile, drink and have fun. It can be regarded as a small surprise in life.

As John said, Zhang Yuan returned to the real world earlier. After only five reincarnations in the virtual world, he was kicked out by the artificial intelligence "West Tower".

Five reincarnations are the minimum standard line. If someone has one more reincarnation than him, it may take 50, 60 or even 100 years in the real world.

The whole civilized society of new mankind is not ready for the return of a large number of extraordinary people, so Zhang Yuan doesn't care too much about finding Lin Xuanxuan, Li Zhendong and Ichiro Yamamoto over the years. They may still be in the virtual world and adhere to their ideals and beliefs. Of course, it may be even worse... There is no way to force anything. They can only rely on themselves.
