Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 880 Technology that affects social rules

The scene of heavenly revelation continues.

It was still the same classroom, with the same huge cylinder standing there, but the students here were older.

Everyone is wearing a white coat and in their early twenties.

The gray-haired old man said with a smile on the podium:

"You have caught up with a good era. At that time, we had to learn basic knowledge for six or seven years, and our hair was almost falling out before we were just getting started. How is it like now, when we can instill more knowledge in one year than the former chief physician, and we are not easy to forget”

"But even so, you should not take it lightly. Even in this era, medicine is the most complex and the most up-to-date subject. The knowledge you need to receive is several times that of other fields."

"Science is never-ending. There are new challenges in the new era, and the frontiers of medicine are also extending. Come on!"

The students in white coats below nodded and put on their helmets.

In the bedroom without lights, two young couples were talking at night.

The granddaughter said sheepishly: "It's okay, grandpa. Now the county's university for the elderly also has a 'learning machine'. You can try it when you have free time. There are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking and hairdressing, fishing and pig raising. You can collect them all at once." 100 yuan can also prevent Alzheimer’s disease.”

"Don't worry, wife, thank you for supporting me."

----

In a green mountain village full of idyllic scenery, the old man is rocking a rocking chair and enjoying the cool weather.

"Then what do you want to do?"

This span is not generally large, but after a moment of silence, the wife still chose to agree: "Okay, now that we have a 'learning machine', it is much easier to change industries than before. It only takes a month or two and a little payment." Study costs, and creative jobs are more promising.”

"Well, you can learn how to raise pigs..."

"I want to try being a fashion designer."

"I don't want to do market operations anymore. I feel like my personality is not suitable. Everyone has the same knowledge base, but I am the clumsiest."

----

"But husband, in this era, everyone's knowledge level will not be much different, so accumulation and experience are particularly important. You should find the field you like as early as possible, and then pursue it firmly."

"Honey, let me discuss something with you."

At night, in the urban community.

"You have caught up with the good times. You can learn everything quickly now. In the past, everyone was a genius. If I had this opportunity back then, maybe I could go to college."

The granddaughter on the side said: "It's just to save time for 'memorization'. We also need to learn and apply it in practice to gain true knowledge."

Early in the morning, a very high-end looking office.

"You are also idle when you are idle. The new era requires a new era way of living, whether old or young."

The old man waved his hand: "As I get older, my synchronization rate cannot improve."

The old man laughed: "That's true, but my granddaughter must be the smartest one, otherwise how could she get into college? I heard them say that today's college students are like 'fairies' compared to those before!"

"You said."

"Son, you were naughty in elementary school. Fortunately, 'learning machines' became popular within a few years, but I want to tell you that this society is not completely fair after all."

"When everyone's 'knowledge' is on the same starting line, 'resources' will become the key to standing out. Your father has arranged for you to go to Uncle Wang's for two years of experience."

Opposite me, the young man leaned on the sofa boredly: "I won't go."

"Wuni, are you looking for a beating?"

"I'm going abroad."

The middle-aged man was even more angry: "Why are you going abroad?"

The young man showed a slightly playful smile: "With the 'learning machine', anyone who has received compulsory education in the country will be a VIP-level person when they go out. Their intelligence level and knowledge reserve will be directly crushed, and all policies will be tilted." ”

"I'll choose a country with good scenery, beautiful girls and a safe country, and I'll be free for a few years. Hey daddy! Don't fight! Don't fight!"

"Look whether I smoke today or not, it's over for you! I've taught you 'Sanda'!"

The fragmented picture finally slowly became calm.

What remains is pure knowledge, the revelation of heaven itself.

In the material world, Zhou Rui has arrived at the office and began frantically recording this precious "revelation from heaven":
"Learning Machine".

If described in technical language, it should be called "brain wave magnetic field technology".

A kind of subtle control of magnetic fields to influence brain waves, so that "knowledge" can be directly instilled into the brain in the form of memory. As before, these pictures are only part of the application of "brain wave magnetic field technology", and are several future scenarios simulated by the system based on Zhou Rui's cognition.

There is still a long way to go before we can reach the level of advanced equipment and ubiquity shown in the picture.

But it is foreseeable that the impact of this technology will be far greater than that of "four-image materials" and "mechanical intelligence."

Will directly change some of the operating rules of human society
The more human civilization develops, the more "accumulation" is required to break through the boundaries of knowledge.

Even if a talented person learns from a young age, he will probably have to reach his "prime" or even "twilight years" before he has the opportunity to push the boundaries of human knowledge a little bit further.

This time span will definitely become longer and longer.
Until a certain stage in the future, ordinary people will not be able to obtain enough "accumulation" to break through the boundaries even in their lifetime, and can only rely on illusory "luck" and "accidental".

That will be an era of technological stagnation.

Now, "brain wave magnetic field technology" solves this problem.

Anyone can gain enough accumulation in a very short period of time, eliminating the time of "memorization" and focusing time and energy on truly creative work.

This will be a great liberation of productivity.

Of course, from the perspective of the grand narrative of "human civilization," the interpretation of "brain wave magnetic field technology" may be too broad. In fact, just like in the picture, all aspects of the entire society will bring about great changes.

First of all, with the emergence of "learning machines", the methods of training "people" will change drastically. For example, the high school in the picture mainly focuses on physical exercise and cultivating sentiments, but the courses learned are more difficult than those of current graduate students and doctoral students. profound.

In addition, the cost of education has been greatly reduced, which has achieved a certain degree of "equity" in educational opportunities. With the support of national policies, in the future, whether in 18th-tier cities or in super metropolises like Beijing and Shanghai, as long as compulsory education is provided, You can enjoy the same efficient teaching.

It is true that equality in education does not mean equality in everything. "Resource differences", "talent differences", "character differences" and "opportunity differences" still exist, but it is still a huge progress.

On the other hand, those who enjoy the "learning machine" will also have a crushing difference to those who have no chance to enjoy it, such as billions of foreigners.
This is an "inequality" that makes people despair.

Zhou Rui is busy in reality, but Zhou Rui in consciousness is thinking wildly.

This technology is too epoch-making.

It is difficult to fully understand its impact on society as a whole, and he is not a sociologist or educationist.
He also couldn't figure out for the time being, how would society function if everyone could obtain knowledge equivalent to the level of graduate students and doctoral students in compulsory education?
Okay, okay. It is indeed a "revelation from heaven". It always comes to the rescue.
When he first saw the helmet in the picture, Zhou Rui thought it was a technology similar to "AR", and he was a little disappointed, because although "AR" is relatively immature at the moment, it is not a black technology and may be available in ten or twenty years. There will be a mature finished product.

Moreover, "AR" itself is only for vision. Even if it is developed to a level of realism close to reality, it is far inferior to a "learning machine" that directly instills knowledge and memory.

Even a hundred or a thousand years from now, even if we enter the interstellar era, "learning machines" will be one of the most important technologies for mankind.

Even the technology itself may have other uses.

A more ingenious use. Or a more dangerous use.

Sure enough, except for the first "Four Symbol Materials", which he was unable to fully absorb due to insufficient accumulation, which appeared to be slightly weaker, "mechanical intelligence" and "brain wave magnetic field technology" are both explosive black technologies.

As time passed, Zhou Rui suddenly ran into the office of the smart building and didn't come out for several hours.

Although the "electronically controlled atomized glass" has been turned on, Lin Tuo can still tell what Mr. Zhou is busy writing through the vague silhouette of the person.
Faintly, he recalled some records related to Zhou Rui. It was said that Zhou Rui had a similar situation a few years ago, which seemed to be a state of inspiration.

He doesn't know much about scientists, but last time, it was said that he fell into a coma and slept for the whole day.
After thinking about it, he called an ambulance in advance and waited downstairs of the smart building, just in case.

From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., for nine hours, Zhou Rui could not eat, drink or go to the toilet.

It also made Linto increasingly worried about his condition.

Finally, at half past seven, the door opened.

Zhou Rui obviously looked a lot sluggish, but he could still resist.
It is true that each "Heaven's Revelation" consumes a lot of energy, but his body and spirit are also far stronger than in previous years.

Especially now that there is a dual-core mode that "kills two birds with one stone", the efficiency of carrying the revelation of heaven is much higher.
Zhou Rui rubbed his temples and said, "Seal up this office. There are important documents in it. I'll sort it out later."

Lin Tuo nodded and said, "What's wrong with you? Do I want to take you to the hospital? The car is downstairs."

Zhou Rui shook his head: "No, it's Chinese New Year. I promised my mother to go home for dinner."

He had already called just now and was waiting for him at home.

Dragging his tired body, Zhou Rui walked out of the smart building.

On New Year's Eve, Daxue Road in the distance was still lively. It seemed that not everyone was like him, and some people chose to spend the night outside.

Returning to Jiangwan Hanlin, Zhou Rui said to Lin Tuo and the others, "What about you? Are you just going to guard the corridor tonight?"

Lin Tuo smiled: "Don't worry, we will change shifts, we are used to it."

Zhou Rui patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

To say more is all hypocrisy.
When you open the door, you will see bright lights with warm colors, the aroma of tempting food, and the figures of busy family members.
As if the corridor is a different world
"Xiao Rui is back? Are you done with your work? It's earlier than expected."

Zhou Rui smiled: "I'm busy, but I still have to go home for dinner."

Tonight, among all the lights in every house, Zhou Rui’s is the only one missing.
