Chapter 1 Earth in 200 Years
Chapter 1: Earth 200 Years Later
Since the Industrial Revolution, mankind has begun to move towards a period of rapid development. The development in these hundreds of years has far exceeded the progress of millions of years in human history. The emergence and development of computers have further brought mankind into the era of a big explosion of knowledge and provided inexhaustible impetus for the continuous and rapid development of mankind.
In 2046, Country Z and Country M successively developed new types of biological computers, which made the development of computers break through the bottleneck that had been shackled for decades and entered a new field. Immediately afterwards, scientists from both countries successively creatively wrote a program that could be automatically improved and evolved. This invention shocked the world and also caused many people to panic.
Because this means that the intelligence of computers has finally made breakthrough progress. As long as these programs are constantly improved and evolved, one day they will produce relatively high intelligence, and it has endless life, which makes people unable to imagine what its future will be like! At the same time, many people are afraid that this is opening Pandora's magic box, which is equivalent to creating a life in another sense, and it has infinite potential, and its abilities will be scared. Some even say that if it is allowed to continue to develop and evolve, it will even trigger the "robot betrayal" in science fiction films. Finally, under the pressure of opposition around the world, scientists from both countries have to stop research in this area and destroy the already written programs.
However, in the end, scientists from both countries still couldn't bear to destroy this greatest achievement in human history. In the end, they decided to completely seal the two programs together and set up the "Supreme Law of Intelligent Computer" for it: to assist in guiding the development of mankind, serve all mankind, and never do anything that betrays humanity or endangers humanity, otherwise it will be automatically destroyed.
In the following 100 years, these two programs gradually merged and gradually evolved. Until 2200, two hundred years later, human civilization developed highly, and the application of genetic technology greatly increased the lifespan of human beings. However, it was also at this time that due to unlimited mining by human beings and waste of war, coal, oil and other resources have reached the brink of exhaustion. If measures are not taken at this time, human civilization will enter a period of rapid decline after its peak, and even in the most serious way, it will retreat to before the industrial revolution.
Just when people all over the world were at a loss and were worried about their future, the smart computer that was sealed 150 years ago gave leaders of various countries a suggestion: First, develop a brand new holographic online game to allow most people to enter virtual games and reduce resource consumption; Second, accelerate space exploration and find new habitats for mankind.
It turns out that after only more than ten years of sealing these two programs have evolved to the point where scientists gave it to them easily, but it did not break through the blockade, but has been silently learning, constantly improving itself, and strictly abide by the "Supreme Law of Smart Computers". It was not until now that human civilization is on the verge of collapse that it appeared in front of humans and named itself "Pangu".
In the end, leaders of various countries adopted its opinions because if this were not the case, energy would be completely exhausted in more than a decade. By that time, without machinery to help farm, how many people in the world would farm? The consequences of food production reduction will definitely be disastrous, and it is even possible for humans to return to prehistoric civilization.
2 On July 29, 202, in N City, Wenmin, a newly graduated college student, was walking on the road, looking at the promotions on various advertising spaces around him, almost all of them were advertisements for the "New World" of the online game. The public beta began on August 1, and the shadow of the previous recruitment advertisements was invisible. He was angry: "Sun, what's going on? What's going on in the past two years? Why did an artificial intelligence brain suddenly appear? He still let people live? He took over so many jobs in an instant, and so many people were unemployed. Although the minimum living allowance for the unemployed people is not much less than the salary he received before, do we really not work?" Thinking of the useless place for hard study for more than ten years, the employment rate of students in the same class was less than 1%, Wenmin felt very helpless. This world is too strange.
Touching my pocket, it seems that I don’t have any change to take the bus. Looking around, I find a place where I can change my change, and I find a lottery retail outlet. Okay, I’ll try my luck and change some change. Alas, people nowadays, it’s so practical. Do you want to buy something and change? There is no door! Many times, even if you go to the bank, you won’t change it! Unless you have to spend money, you have bought a lottery ticket and a random number combination, pay attention to the lottery time tonight. Okay, pay attention to it, maybe you will win? Wenmin was happy in his heart.
Back to the rented hut, ate something and took a shower, and continued to search for recruitment information on the computer. Although since the artificial intelligence "Pangu" began to take over the manufacturing of some factories two years ago, many people were unemployed, since it started from the industry with the lowest technical content and low wages, it greatly improved the productivity and greatly increased the social minimum living allowance, so many people are happy to be content with the status quo. However, Wenmin is obviously not the kind of person who is willing to live a life of life and wait for death. He still insists on finding a job unremittingly. Perhaps he is too bored and treats looking for a job as a job. Embarrassing~~
Looking at the large number of recruitment information from two years ago on the computer screen, Wenmin was helpless. At this moment, his phone rang and picked it up and saw that it was Wang Tao, a roommate and best friend of Wenmin University. Uh, their university dormitory is the kind of 4 beds in each room, two on one side, a desk on the lower desk, and a bed above. Wang Tao and Wenmin's beds are connected on the same side, with only two railings in the middle. Uh, if you count it, it can also be considered a bed. So Wang Tao always said to Wenmin, "We have been in the same bed for 4 years, don't you have any feelings at all? Do you just bear to watch me starve?" So Wenmin was always defeated by his resentful eyes and took out his campus card obediently...
"Hey, little people~~"
As soon as he heard this a little coquettish voice, Wenmin felt a chill, and goose bumps all over the floor, and said viciously: "Speak human words!"
"Haha, Brother Min, how about it? Have you found the job?" The voice suddenly became thick and powerful.
Wenmin breathed a sigh of relief. This bastard was so powerful that he could not bear it. So he replied: "Now more than 90% of the recruitment information on those recruitment websites were outdated before, and some of them were not even maintained by the website. Well, now 50% of the positions can be handed over to smart computers to control, saving them manual expenses in vain. Those capitalists are not willing to fully entrust to "Pangu". Even those positions that can still be found now, they will probably not be laid off in a long time. Well! A new recruitment advertisement was released online, "Recruiting a baby nurse". Damn, this job is really not something that can be replaced by smart computers. It is estimated that this is one of the few jobs that can survive." Wenmin couldn't help but sigh.
There was a silence on the other end of the phone. Just when Wenmin was wondering why the child suddenly stopped talking, Wang Tao said seriously: "Well, I think this can be done, baby care, promising, you can contact various types of young women every day, and you can even choose a few of them to develop a super friendship. The boss is indeed far-sighted, which is beyond our reach!"
Wenmin heard the black thread on his face, and his forehead was full of blue veins. He gritted his teeth and said, "Haha, it turns out that you like young women? What would happen if I told Zhang Yao?" Zhang Yao and Wenmin were in the same department, but they were not in the same class. They were a pretty girl. During the military training, Wang Tao almost screamed and chased after him at first sight. He pursued him for four years unremittingly for four years, and finally made a breakthrough recently.
When Wang Tao heard this, he was anxious: "Damn, boss, you are too cruel. When did I say that?"
Wenmin smiled proudly: "That's okay, as long as Zhang Yao doubts it, hahaha..."
"Brother Min, you are my biological brother. How can you do this? Isn't it okay if I was wrong? Don't, this is related to my lifelong happiness for brothers." Wang Tao repeatedly begged and begged.
Wenmin was very proud. During the four years of college, Zhang Yao has always been Wang Tao's weakness. When he threatened him, he would definitely give in immediately. It would be a try! So he said generously: "Well, okay, forgive you. Who said I am your brother? I forgave you this time, but I won't be an example. Let's talk about it, what's wrong with me this time? It's not just to stimulate me, right? If I can't tell you, hum..." Wenmin was obviously a little proud.
When Wang Tao heard Wenmin's proud and floating look, he felt itchy. There was no way. Who told me to care too much about Zhang Yao? Humph, when I settle her, I will settle the accounts with you one by one! But now the situation is better than others, so I quickly change the topic: "Brother Wang, have you read the advertisement of the online game called 'New World' recently? Are you interested? I heard it looks very fun."
