Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

St. Petersburg International Airport.

Krugman and Professor Albert, who were carrying suitcases, looked exhausted in the waiting room for departure.

A week has passed since the International Mathematical Congress ended.

After the closing ceremony, the two did not leave St Petersburg immediately.

After all, this is a famous "city of mathematics" in Eastern Europe. The world's top mathematical research institutions such as the Slovak Mathematical Institute are located here.

While visiting these mathematical research institutions and giving lectures to find like-minded and capable scholars, the two finally tried a few times, trying to get Perelman out of the mountain to help them and complete that great idea.

Unfortunately, since the end of the last 60-minute report of the IMU conference, Perelman has entered a strange state.

If he would patiently answer their questions before then, now he is too lazy to open the door for both of them.

The holiday time is running out, and it is impossible for the two people working on their bodies to stay endlessly.

Therefore, the two people who met a gray nose in St. Petersburg, after a discussion, finally decided to return to the United States first and then consider the next step.

If this is not possible, relax the threshold of collaborators appropriately, at least get the project on track, and it is not too late to recruit new collaborators after making some results.

"... Unfortunately, Professor Lu has gone too early. I feel that he actually has some interest in our plan." Professor Krugman suddenly said with emotion as he watched the departure hall, "If not, That ’s all right, we are working hard, boasting about him, maybe he agreed. "

"Yeah ... I think so too," Albert sighed, looked up at the time on his watch, and got up from his chair. "It seems like my flight has arrived ... then, let me go first Take a step. "

"Take care, email."

"Ok."

Stanford University is on the west coast of North America, where Albert is a visiting professor at the American Center for Cancer System Biology (CCSB). Krugman works on Princeton's east coast, a few time zones from California.

After the old friend had gone, Krugman picked up a newspaper from the side, spread it out on his knees, and turned over time.

However, at the first glance when he saw the headline, he froze.

"... frozen and dormant?"

Changed a newspaper ...

The headline title is the same!

At this point, Krugman's expression finally began to become intriguing.

He raised his index finger and pushed down his glasses. After carefully reading the headline of the newspaper in his hand, the shock and incredibleness in his eyes became more and more obvious. Finally, he couldn't help but whisper in his mouth.

"This ... this is too crazy."

Freeze and sleep!

Go to the future for treatment!

This is probably the craziest thing he has heard this year!

Prior to that, he had faintly heard about the Chinese state where Lu Zhou transferred Miss Puyi to the hospital, but he did not expect that he actually held this idea.

but……

Compared to Ms. Puyouyi's current situation, what he cares more about is the freezing hibernation technology itself.

This reminded 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 activities are based on the time dimension.

If humans can “walk upright” on a time scale, the existing financial order will be hit unprecedentedly, and people will be more inclined to hold long-term and stable returns on asset types, and will no longer tend to invest in high-risk high-return Especially in the high-tech industry where generations alternate in a decade, because time will no longer be an expensive cost, and the value of waiting will be worthless ...

As an example, if you deposit 10,000 US dollars into a money fund, as long as the annual rate of return can guarantee 4 points, based on compound interest calculation, the interest rate alone will be more than 60,000 US dollars in 50 years, and the principal plus 70,000!

This is equivalent to a seven-fold increase!

If we magnify the number of principals by a factor of one hundred, how much time will be allowed for fifty years ...

"This thing is a financial bomb ..." Turning the page in his hand, Krugman murmured and murmured, "Tomorrow's Nasdaq and the global bond market will probably perform very badly. wonderful……"

Maybe not just finance ...

Its power cannot be measured by money alone.

Equality between people is based on old age, sickness, and death. Whether it is the rich or the poor, the civilians, or the nobleman, they will eventually escape.

However, freezing dormancy technology undoubtedly breaks this balance.

Right now, the power of life may still be equal. At least the power that people have won since the French Revolution / Life has not been subverted, but the power of death is no longer equal ...

If you can live decently in the future utopia, who would be ashamed to stay in the current utopia?

Some lucky people will embark on the first steps of eternal life. No matter how far away they are from the second steps, the inequality of death will begin to emerge in the human civilization that has developed to this stage.

This seemingly bland technology may actually have a greater impact on society than controlled fusion. It is no exaggeration to say that it will even completely change the face of human civilization.

From a sociological point of view, it corresponds not to a steam engine, nor to an internal combustion engine or a power generating turbine, but to printing!

Its birth is paving the way for a major event that will be far more far-reaching and more powerful than the "Enlightenment" and "French Revolution / Fate" until the civilization that masters this technology is in "new equality" A balance based on compromise and tolerance-www.wuxiaspot.com-will only stop.

And this process will be difficult and dangerous.

Of course, he also acknowledged that this idea may be too one-sided, and the richer the more careful the trade-off between risk and return.

Thinking from the other side of logic, taking the risk of not waking up to enjoy an uncertain power and assets in an uncertain future is far worse than living in the moment when you have reached the peak of life.

After all, no matter how excellent the eyes are, placing a businessman from the 19th century into the 21st century, I am afraid that he will be confused by a variety of financial products and global trade rules under the new order.

After all, in the era of his life, a profitable business was colonial plundering and dumping of industrial products, but now it is popular to rob a country's national treasury with only a single shot without using a single shot.

Only those who can't afford the tickets to the future will have the idea of ​​going back and forth, going to the new world and looking for opportunities.

At the same time, considering that survival is the first need of living things. Even if this technology is not taken out today, someone will open this Pandora's box someday in the future.

I have to say that this is an interesting subject.

It was even interesting enough that he temporarily put aside the great and challenging subject he was working on.

Thinking of this, Professor Krugman held his breath unconsciously, rubbing the index finger and thumb of the newspaper constantly.

He just wants to do one thing now.

That is to return immediately to my office, clear up the things that I think at the moment, and then sort them out and write them in thesis ...

Well, he can get another title in his lifetime.

such as……

The father of the New Enlightenment?

It's really exciting to think about it.
