Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies, meeting room.

The door pushed open, just walked into the canoe in the guest room, and soon saw Professor Angus sitting on the couch with a white beard, as well as Wang Peng sitting straight opposite him.

Professor Angus glanced over and a friendly smile appeared on the face of the ark, opening with an ordinary and simple greeting.

“Professor Angus Ditton, what brings you here? ”

Pushing down the glasses on the beam of his nose, Professor Angus, who was already quite young, squinted his eyes and finally saw clearly that it was the ark that walked into the door, and the expression on his face gradually became more serious.

“Because of recent events, of course, I thought you knew why I was here. ”

Recent events?

As soon as he heard this sentence, Ark immediately understood something, so after a moment of reflection, he threw a gaze at Wang Peng, indicating that he would go out first.

Wang Peng, sitting on the couch opposite Professor Angus, hesitated and stood up.

Instead of leaving the meeting room immediately, however, he walked to the side of the ark and said.

“… we have heard some bad rumors on our side, it is better to be careful these days. ”

The Ark gave him a reassuring look and smiled and said.

“Rest assured, I have no intention of doing anything dangerous, not to mention the trouble that Professor Grant is facing, which I believe is not a problem here at all. ”

After the publication of his thesis, the domestic media tacitly chose to remain silent about what had boiled down abroad. And the radical human movement organization in the country, although it is very noisy, is still a little picturesque to think of coming to the country.

“... no, I don't mean radical human movement organizations, they can't really be trouble, just...” Wang Peng hesitated for a moment, glanced at Professor Angus sitting on the sofa drinking tea, pressed down his voice and said, "It's the CIA... we've recently received news that they seem to be planning something bad. ”

When he heard this, Ark was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Peng strangely.

“… do you think the CIA can do this? ”

Wang Peng was slightly stunned. At first, Wang Peng had not yet reacted to what the Ark was saying, but soon he remembered the visitor's information and gave a slightly subtle expression on his face.

“… seems to make sense. ”

Develop a Nobel Prize level scholar into his own agent…

Even Hollywood wouldn't make such a funny scene.

The ark shrugged and said, "So I said your worries were superfluous."

Wang Peng: “Anyway, be careful, he is American after all. ”

“Rest assured, it doesn't matter if he's an American at all, I'm sure he won't do anything to my detriment, let alone...” Ark Zhou tongued, joking, "I haven't been weak enough to be threatened with my life by an old man. ”

With the insistence of the Ark, Wang Peng finally left the visiting room.

With the departure of Wang Peng, only Professor Angus and Ark Boat remained in the visiting room.

Walking across the couch from Professor Angus, he sat down, the ark picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, then leaned against the couch and said.

“I guess you've got a lot to say, and now you can start. ”

Professor Angus said politely: "There is only one thing I would like to say, please stop what you are doing now! Your research is releasing a terrible demon! ”

Looking at the fog above the cup, the ark pondered for a while and said.

“I don't know much about economics and sociology, and I don't really understand what you're talking about. ”

Professor Angus sat up with the armrest on the couch. “If you don't understand, I can tell you. ”

The ark nodded and gave him a continued look, indicating that he would continue to speak.

Professor Angus: “I need a white board… or a blackboard. ”

The Ark laughed and said, "No problem. There are plenty of them here, white or blackboard. ”

Standing up to the wall, the Ark helped Professor Angus hang a white board on the wall.

Picking up the marker pen, Professor Angus wrote down a line of formulas on the whiteboard, and at the same time presented his theory to the Ark in concise language, with a simple curve of his expectations for the future direction of the economy.

At the same time, he spoke of his concerns about cryo-dormant technologies, including the creation of massive asset deposits, including shifting the elite to the future, including the consolidation of the population, which eventually led to a stagnation of society across the board.

After all, nobody is stupid.

If we could have a better life in the future, who would be willing to stay in an era without dreams to cultivate this barren land?

“… in any social form, in countless circulation, the means of production are ultimately concentrated from the majority of the population, to a small extent. So we limit, or weaken, this phenomenon through laws, rules, estate taxes, and so on. ”

“Yet your research will make all our efforts wasted. ”

After listening quietly to Professor Angus's theory, the Ark pondered for a while and spoke.

“While I acknowledge that your concerns are legitimate, I cannot share your views. ”

“Why?”

The ark shook its head with a smile and said.

“It's more than human refrigeration technology, advanced AI, VR, unmanned automatic production… too much can destroy our fantasies about pastoral pastoralism, and if you want to maintain the status quo, I'm afraid it's the only way to call on scientists around the world to unite and give up their brains. ”

Professor Angus was angry: "You're a maniac! ”

“No, it's not, it's just an objective fact," the ark shook its head and said calmly, "the technology itself is innocent, the person who decides whether it's guilty or not, and how to use it. ”

Professor Angus immediately asked, “But how do you ensure that a technology is used correctly? ”

“I can't guarantee, just as politicians can't guarantee the elimination of war, economists can't guarantee that economic growth will always be steady, even weather forecasters can't guarantee that tomorrow's weather will be accurate... so why do you have to ask me to make sure that my technology will be used in the right place? ”

Professor Angus was obviously stunned when he heard that.

After a moment of hesitation, he frowned slightly.

“You're right… but there are risks that we cannot afford. ”

“But some risks are inevitable," said Professor Angus, staring at the beginning of some shaking, "our civilization is always moving forward, and some things, even if I don't, will surely be discovered someday in the future. ”

“Like controllable nuclear fusion, a lot of people may hate me because I've wiped out millions or even tens of millions of jobs. But I am also confident that more people will thank me in the future. While I let their fathers lose the opportunity to continue to sweat in coal mines, a more material future will give more people a more decent life, giving more people the right to choose their own future and life, rather than ancestors working in dangerous mines and small workshops. ”

This is the case with the pattern of civilization, even if it stagnates briefly, but always on a large scale.

New technology replaces old technology, advanced productivity replaces backward productivity, one day artificial intelligence will become more and more intelligent, even like a living human being, and one day human beings will become their God, making themselves capable of everything by editing genes...

“… the same is true of human refrigeration technology, which can provide many terminally ill patients with an opportunity to have an entire life, or it can allow our civilization to spread its leaves and sow the seeds of civilization to galaxies several light-years away and beyond. ”

“As for its potential impact on our old social order and even the destruction of old beliefs… these problems will certainly exist, but I am confident that our civilization will eventually find a suitable solution to the problems that originate in us. Just as we solve technical problems. ”

Suddenly, looking at Professor Angus in contemplation, the ark spoke solemnly.

“And these are the things that you do. ”
