Chapter 312

In this way, in just five years, the entire fleet has accelerated more than 150 times, and the speed of the formation has reached 3000 kilometers per second, equivalent to one percent of the speed of light.

When the whole line out of the star's gravitational boundary, get rid of the risk of meteorite attack, will adopt the acceleration mode of greater gravity.

From the excitement and curiosity at the beginning to the habit behind, ordinary people have gradually become accustomed to this kind of spaceship life, and have little interest in this kind of news. Most people only glance at the news once in a while, and then they say, "Oh, it's more than 3000 kilometers per second It's a milestone for human aircraft! "

In order to control the heat generated by the spaceship and reduce the usual loss, in addition to some special staff, most ordinary people have to hibernate for a long time.

Hibernation takes the community as the unit. Most of the people around will hibernate and wake up together with themselves. It seems that the days are not too different.

Within five years, 90% of the population has gone into hibernation and is still awake. There are about 800000 people, and each sober person has a very ordinary life. It is enough to maintain all aspects of Kunlun Mountain, including the army, with a population of 800000.

But on this day, a big event happened in the illusory Laboratory of Kunlun mountain!

About the virtual world, and Eternal consciousness, this controversial moment, has finally come!

More than 3000 senior citizens of civilization and more than 1600 elderly people who are about to participate in the experiment gathered here to discuss the final experimental plan, including the signing of agreements on personal privacy and freedom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have been planning this technology for a hundred years, and everything is ready. We have the glitzer experience, but we still need human experimenters. We need more determined pioneers to create an idealistic world Especially about the screening of the extraordinary. "

"If there is no one to create the virtual world that belongs to human beings, how can we screen it?"

In addition to Zhang Yuan's speech, the meeting room was very quiet, and there was not much discussion.

Life is full of success and death. In the books written by human beings, there are human stars shining, but few people mention the age of heroes, as if they were completely forgotten.

It should be Zhao Qingfeng, the former captain, who attended the meeting of the whole civilization for the last time.

He listened to Zhang Yuan's speech and silently recalled his life experience.

He is more than two hundred years old. His health is not as good as before. He has to stop after a long walk. His eyes are almost out of sight, and his thin clothes can't hold up. Even if biotechnology is more and more developed today, it is impossible to cure this all-round aging.

This group of old people, listening to the plans made by the young people, and then signing the final agreement, all have no too many opinions, as if they have acquiesced in their own destiny.

After the meeting, the people on and off the stage welcome the old people to leave.

The atmosphere was very warm, the applause gradually dissipated, and the participants gradually left.

After Zhao Qingfeng stood up, his legs trembled. He could no longer stand and could only sit down.

Finally, Zhang Yuan noticed the situation, helped Lao Zhao, and they walked forward step by step.

Zhang Yuan felt Lao Zhao's trembling muscles. He didn't know how to describe his mood, but suddenly thought of an ancient poem

"Time only makes people old, but I don't believe in amorous feelings. When I leave the pavilion for a long time, I can wake up easily with tears and wine."

Maybe, one day, I will fall into this situation.

Qi Yuanshan is dead, Professor Wang Zhong is dead, Captain Ma is dead, his mentor Ding Zhaodong is dead, and even his elder martial brother is dying. One day it will be his turn to Zhang Yuan.

Death should be regarded as the greatest fear of life. In order to reduce the fear of death, religion, philosophy, theology were born

There are also some writers who seem to be full of inspiration: death is not the opposite of life, but as another way to live forever

However, Zhang Yuan did not believe in these things.

Dead is dead, the end of life, that's all.

He didn't know what kind of psychological changes he would have on the day of his death, whether he would struggle to live, or whether he was open to everything.

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly took Zhang Yuan's hand. The old man's hands were as rough as bark.

He said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you know, this is a war, a war of eternal life or death. We are just soldiers. We are no longer the so-called leaders or high-level civilization. If we fail, we will die. There is nothing to worry about... "

"I know."

"If we have more than 1600 human experimenters, all of them are equally immersed in the virtual world, it means that we are all defeated. This technology is probably beyond our control... "

“…… It's the best choice to destroy it completely. Don't give people more choices and don't hesitate too much. "Zhang Yuan nodded and sighed, "I know."

These old people are the first generation and the most determined pioneers who have spent 3000 years on the long march. They have survived through spring, summer, autumn and winter to this day.

If even they are addicted to the virtual world, then the people behind will have nothing to toss about. To give up this technology directly is the optimal solution.

Zhao Qingfeng patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more. With the help of a head nurse, he lay quietly in a hibernation barn.

The rest of the more than 1600 old people did the same, putting on helmets and closing their eyes.

The hibernation barn closed slowly.

Half an hour later, the neural networks and memory blocks of more than 1600 people were scanned into the biological computer, and their self-consciousness was uploaded to Pangu brain, leaving only a vegetative body. These vegetative bodies will be used for medical research, especially the brain. It is an unsolved mystery what changes will happen after losing self-consciousness.

Professor Ichiro Yamamoto of the illusory laboratory sighed and said softly, "in 150 years, I should go in, too. I just hope that before that, we can master the writing skills of cloning body memory, and then we can return to this less beautiful world. "

Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing bitterly and shaking his head gently.

Then he returned to his mind and solemnly said to the rest of the people, "ladies and gentlemen, this experiment will last for at least 200 years, and its main task is to construct the world of the examination of the extraordinary. As for the data tracking of the experimenters and the auxiliary construction within the virtual world, please. The relevant privacy agreement has been signed. Please don't have to bear the psychological burden. "

He also said to several legal experts: "what's more, the legal aspects of digital life still need to be discussed. You can prepare a draft first. Please make sure that you do well in the confidentiality agreement, and don't let ordinary people know. "

"Only the elderly who are really on the verge of death are eligible for this technology."
