Great Power Technology.

Chapter 400 How to Resist
After exiting the replay of the ending, Ye Zhou fell into a long silence in the void.

This replay is different from any previous one. What it shows itself is not a promising future, but a crisis hidden in this technology.

If you think about it, all the technologies that Ye Zhou acquired before are basically technologies that have more positive effects than negative effects, such as aviation, such as batteries, such as lasers.

These technologies do not even need to limit their use, as long as they can be created and applied, they will definitely be beneficial to the development of human society.

However, AES technology is an entirely different field.

Not to mention that AES, which Ye Zhou was worried about before, would be used in the pan-entertainment field and become a new generation of titytainment. facing a huge crisis.

Ye Zhou clicked on the replay of the ending, and watched the replay almost frame by frame again, thinking about the future of this technology in his mind while watching.

He wants to first identify several "points of astray," or forks, in the development of the technology.

The first thing to be determined is the contradiction between the "reformed person" and the normal person shown in Huifang. In fact, he has already discussed this contradiction with Chen Hao. After the AES technology is fully rolled out, the strengthening of the human body becomes If there is a choice that can be exchanged with resources, then this choice will inevitably lead to division.

Some people want to use AES to gain more advantages, and some people will try to protect the basic fairness of society. Under such divisions, social turmoil is almost inevitable.

In addition to this crisis, the risk of titytainment is equally dire.

Ye Zhou once read a sci-fi novel called "Festivals That Cannot Coexist", which tells about the rapid development of BCI and AES technology, and most people become obsessed with virtual reality, and finally abandon the material world, leading to the extinction of human beings. story.

Ye Zhou is essentially an industrialist. He has always been extremely vigilant about the prospects depicted in this novel, so after he gained a certain amount of decision-making power, he unreservedly showed My dislike of the so-called "Metaverse" concept, because of this dislike, Huaxia has not really set off a wave of Metaverse so far.

This is completely different from the international market that is turbulent around the concept of metaverse, and it was once one of the most correct things Ye Zhou thought he did.

But now, with the birth of AES technology, he is likely to make himself the founder of this future.

This is a tough choice.

However, the choice he faced was not limited to this one.

Ye Zhou clicked on the plot simulation interface. As he expected, the title of the next plot simulation is "Invisible Teacher". Even without reading the title, Ye Zhou can guess that this technology should be related to the direct transmission of neural network information Yes, because this is exactly the next stage of development of the AES system.

Once this technology is realized, the boundaries of AES technology will be further broadened. After it is developed to the extreme, it will become extremely easy for human beings to obtain those things that originally need to be obtained through the material world.

Joy, excitement, touch, satisfaction, and joy. All kinds of emotions can be realized through a simple electrical signal. AES technology will become the biggest hallucinogen in the new era.

There must be a strong enough system to limit the spread of the negative effects of this technology, and if it is put into a "free" system
Ye Zhou could not help but shudder.

He suddenly felt that at certain times, he was more terrifying than he thought.

Thinking of this, he could almost say that he couldn't wait to exit the simulator, and then lay on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the tent above his head in a daze.

This is the first time he has personally experienced the duality of technology, and it is also the first time he has regretted his choice.

Shouldn't he come up with this technology so quickly?
Can your own country, at this moment, withstand the impact of this technology?
Perhaps, I should call Chen Hao immediately, explain the stakes to him, and get back the AES technical documents that have been handed over to him.
But doing so is extremely unfair to the 1700 million blind people and 2000 million deaf-mute people in China.

Because this will directly kill their expectations of being close at hand.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou sighed, got up from the bed and walked out of the tent.

At this moment, everything around the camp was completely silent, except for a few guards standing guard, Ye Zhou was the only one walking under the night sky.

He walked out of the camp slowly, walked to the hillside where he had taken pictures with Ye Lan before, looked up at the moon that was gradually sinking above his head, and fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard the sound of someone walking behind him. Judging from the regular pace, he knew it was Wu Ping without even thinking about it.

"Ye Gong, why aren't you sleeping?"

Ye Zhou shook his head, beckoned him to sit down, and then asked:
"Brother Wu, let me ask you a question."

"You ask."

Wu Ping sat down beside Ye Zhou, looked at him calmly and replied.

"That is, if there is something that allows you to get everything you want, such as glory, pleasure, satisfaction, etc., you can get it, and you think you can resist its temptation ?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's question, Wu Ping asked back with some doubts:

"Isn't this a drug?"

".Uh, not drugs. The stuff costs next to nothing in the long run -- and it's not even physically harmful."

Wu Ping thought for a moment, shook his head and replied:

"No. I don't live for myself alone."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly, then continued:
"You're talking about a sense of honor. But what if that thing can even satisfy a sense of honor? What if in its world, you can feel everything you can feel in reality?"

Wu Ping frowned and replied:
"Ye Gong, what you're talking about is the Metaverse, right? But, the Metaverse is not real after all."

"It's not true, but how do you distinguish between reality and illusion, and how do you resist the temptation of 'illusion' that is even more real than reality?"

Wu Ping shook his head and replied:

"I do not know."

Ye Zhou sighed deeply.

"So, even you don't know."

However, before he finished speaking, Wu Ping interrupted him directly.

"But I know something else."

"whats the matter?"

Wu Ping did not answer directly, but asked:
"Ye Gong, do you know how many soldiers we died in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation? It's just the number of soldiers."

"The statistics are probably around 400 million, but the actual number far exceeds this level."

"Yes, this answer is basically accurate. Then I will continue to ask you, do you know how many public officials have died or been injured in the line of duty since the founding of our country?"

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"I really didn't understand this."

"It's about 36 people, and the biggest sacrifice is the police force. Now let me ask the third question, do you know how many college students we have devoted themselves to the construction of the western region and afforestation in the desert?"

Ye Zhou continued to shake his head.

"It's about 50. Among them, even if you exclude those who go purely for qualifications and experience, there are at least 10 people who have ideals, and this is only a small section."

"On a larger scale, the number of ordinary people who choose to serve the people and the nation will increase."

After a short pause, Wu Ping continued:

"You told me just now that there is a thing that can simulate everything I want and satisfy all my desires. This thing is far away from me, and it's not easy for me to judge."

"However, those people I just mentioned, they really faced a choice."

"If you choose to surrender, you don't have to die. If you choose to retreat, you don't have to be injured. If you choose to be stable, you don't have to suffer. Although it's not as good as what you said, the comparison is strong enough, right?"

"—and this comparison is more intuitive."

"Now you ask me how I can resist that temptation. I really don't know—mainly because I don't know how to explain it."

"But I also have a question for you."

"Those people I mentioned above, why did they make such a choice?"

"What made them resist the instinctive choice that was right in front of them at the time?"

Looking at the silent Ye Zhou, Wu Ping said solemnly:
"Ye Gong, it's faith."
