Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1040 The Beginning of a New Era?

St. Petersburg International Airport.

In the waiting lounge for takeoff, Krugman and Professor Albert in their luggage looked quite tired.

A week has passed since the International Congress of Mathematicians came to an end.

They did not leave St. Petersburg immediately after the closing ceremony.

After all, this is the famous “City of Mathematics” in Eastern Europe, where world-class mathematics research institutions like the Institute of Mathematics in Skeclov are situated.

While visiting these mathematical research institutions and giving lectures to find like-minded and capable scholars, they also tried several last attempts to get Perelman out of the mountains to help them complete that great vision.

What is helpless, however, is that since the end of the last 60-minute report of the IMU Assembly, Perelman as a whole has entered a strange state of affairs.

If he would have answered the two questions patiently before then, he would now be lazy to open the door directly to both of them.

The vacation time has run out, and the two people who have their work on them cannot stay here indefinitely.

So, two people met in St. Petersburg with a grey nose, and after some discussion, they eventually decided to go back to the United States for the next step.

If it is not feasible, it is appropriate to broaden the threshold for collaborators, at least to put the subject on track until some results are achieved before it is too late to solicit new collaborators.

“... unfortunately Professor Lu left too early, and I think he's actually kind of interested in our plan.” Looking in the waiting room, Professor Krugman suddenly said with emotion, "If only that kind of accident hadn't happened, we'd be working on it, bragging about it, maybe he'd say yes. ”

“Yeah... that's what I thought too," Albert sighed as well, looked up at the time on his watch and stood up from the chair, “My flight seemed to arrive... so I went one step ahead. ”

“Take care and contact me by email. ”

“Mmm.”

Stanford University is on the west coast of North America, where Albert is a visiting professor at the American Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB). And Krugman worked for Princeton on the East Coast, and California was a few hours away.

After the old friend left, Krugman picked up a newspaper from the side, spread it on his knees, and the time flipped.

However, at the first glance of the headlines, he was stunned.

“... frozen dormancy? ”

I changed a newspaper...

Same goes for the headline title!

By the time we got here, Krugman's expression was finally beginning to get intriguing.

Lifting his forefinger, he pushed down his glasses and carefully read the headlines of the newspaper in his hand. The shock and unbelievability in his eyes became more and more obvious. Finally, he couldn't help but whisper.

“This… this is crazy. ”

Cryodormant!

Go to the future for treatment!

This is probably the craziest thing he's heard this year!

Prior to that, he had rarely heard of the transfer of Miss Puyui from the Ark to China, but did not expect him to hold that thought.

But...

What bothers Miss Pouilly more than what she is now is the cryosleep technique itself.

This reminds him of a paper he wrote a long time ago on the theory of interstellar trade, in which he just casually mentioned that all capital activity was based on time dimensions.

If humans were able to "walk upright” on a time scale, the existing financial order would be hit by unprecedented shocks, and people would be more inclined to have a long-term and robust range of assets rather than investing in high-risk high-yields, especially in high-tech industries that alternate from generation to generation, as time would no longer be a costly one and the value of waiting would be worthless…

By way of example, $10,000 is deposited into the IMF as long as an annual yield of 4 points is guaranteed. At compound interest, after 50 years interest alone will be over $60,000, and the principal will add up to $70,000!

That's seven times what it is!

If you multiply the number of principal by a hundred times, how much time will you be allowed to spend for 50 years...

“This is a financial bomb...” Turned the page of the newspaper in hand and Krugman muttered to himself, "I'm afraid Nasdaq and the global bond market will perform very well tomorrow...”

Perhaps not just finance…

Its power can no longer be measured simply by money.

Equality between human beings is based on the death of the rich and the poor, the civilian population and the nobility of the Crown Prince.

However, cryo-dormant techniques undoubtedly break this balance.

Now, the power to live may still be equal. At least the power that people have gained since the French Revolution has not been subverted, but the power to die is already unequal...

If we can live in dignity in the future of Utopia, who would prefer to remain ashamed to build Utopia today?

Some of the lucky ones will take the first step of immortality, no matter how far away they are from the second step, and the inequality of death will begin to grow into this stage of human civilization.

This seemingly bland technology, which, in fact, is likely to have a greater impact on society as a whole than controllable fusion, does not exaggerate to say that it will even radically change the face of human civilization.

From a sociological point of view, it's not a steam engine, it's not an internal combustion engine or a generator turbine, it's printing!

Its birth is paving the way for a major event that will be more far-reaching and powerful than the "Enlightenment Campaign”, the "French Revolution”, and will not cease until the civilization in possession of this technology reaches a balance based on compromise and tolerance in the "New Equality”.

And this process is bound to be tough and dangerous.

Of course, he also admitted that the idea might be too one-sided, and the richer the more cautious the balance between risk and benefit.

Thinking on the other side of logic, taking the risk of not waking up to enjoy uncertain power and assets in an uncertain future is far less than living at the height of your life.

After all, even if he had a brilliant vision of putting a 19th century businessman in the 21st century, he would probably have been turned blind by global trade rules under Lin Luanzheng's financial products and the new order.

After all, in the years in which he lived, a multitude of profits were from colonial looting and industrial dumping, and now it is fashionable to loot a country's treasury without a single bullet and merely with money.

Only those who can't afford tickets to the future will have the idea of going on a never-ending adventure and looking for opportunities in the new world.

At the same time, taking into account that survival is the primary need of organisms. Even if this technology is not taken out today, someone will have to open Pandora's magic box someday.

I have to say, this is an interesting subject.

Even interesting enough for him to temporarily let go of the great and challenging subject he is working on.

To think of it, Professor Krugman held his breath unconsciously, squeezing the newspaper's forefinger and thumb constantly rubbing.

He just wants to do one thing now.

That is to go back to your office immediately, clarify what you are thinking right now, and then sort them out and write them in your paper...

Maybe he'll have another title in his lifetime.

For example…

Father of the New Enlightenment Movement?

It's exciting to think about it.
