Thousands of people were transported into the virtual world at the same time. This kind of news is not a big deal, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has attracted the attention of the whole world. After all, just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future. Who hasn't run out of gas yet? Looking at the global average life expectancy, it seems that the arrival of that day is not so far away...

Of course, the uploading experiment was very successful. They are all mature technologies, so talking about experiments is just a joke. Thousands of independent digital souls with memories have entered the virtual world in the computer. This is indeed shocking.

This is not artificial intelligence, but a real living dead person with independent memory and personality.

People always believe what they see. After meeting the family members of the volunteers and the family members in the new form, they immediately realized that this was indeed the person from their memories.

Ever since, the topic of human immortality has directly overshadowed the exploration of the universe, the success of Nuclear Fusion, and the emergence of artificial intelligence...

So what people care about most is definitely something closely related to themselves. Besides life and death, what else can you think of that is really related to everyone?

There seems to be no difference between digital soul and artificial intelligence. After all, they both live in a structured virtual world. It is also a thinking and conscious data memory.

As for how to treat this old and new thing that is dead but not completely dead, this will be a matter related to all mankind.

In a certain sense, there may be no such thing as inheritance in the future world. After all, your own money can be charged into your own virtual account.

As for whether any new conflicts will arise under this situation, no one cares about it. Of course, the future will have to be discussed in the future. Human affairs naturally need to be explored by humans themselves.

As for those humans who have chosen to enter the virtual world, the remaining bodies in reality are actually not that important anymore.

If someone is willing to pay to preserve their body in the hope that the technology will be enough to resurrect it one day in the future, Chen Changsheng will not mind paying a high price and paying some technological means for their dream.

If they don't mind their own bodies, then it's just Chen Changsheng cheaper and they can just absorb it into the most basic nutrients.

Again, no matter what, you will not suffer any loss.

The power of role models is infinite. Thousands of volunteers who died before they died have lived their dream lives in the virtual world. If you describe it, it is really heaven and earth...

As artificial role models, these volunteers have become well-deserved stars. Almost every day, countless people watch the daily lives of these people and secretly speculate about their future lives.

From what has been shown so far, it seems that it is not unacceptable for Huawei's digital soul to live in the virtual world after death.

There are quite a few people who have this view under the current circumstances. After all, in recent times, a large number of people have chosen to take drugs on a certain day and then live like crazy for two years...

It's just that the world is too tempting, tempting the kind-hearted people of the earth all the time, heading towards death.

However, people who take drugs also face an embarrassing situation, that is, the person dies before the money is spent. This incident can be ranked as the two saddest things in life together with running out of money. You can imagine how regretful it is.

I still want to thank Chen Changsheng for giving them the opportunity to realize their dream. After all, the person died and the money was not spent, which is quite a pity.

Now that things have happened, looking back at the past, it seems that everyone's life has been clearly arranged. An arrangement from birth to death with no end in sight. This is not something you can get out of by paying off your mortgage until you die. You have to create value after you die...

Damn you evil capitalists.

All human beings have infinite potential, and it is naturally impossible for them all to be wasted in this way. In fact, although mediocrity is the norm for most people, from the moment they take drugs, everyone can open their eyes and see a bright future.

It's just that everyone's future is different. As Eddie said before, "Nzt-48 will make smart people smarter..." In other words, when the entire population is taking drugs, people who are not smart enough mean that they will be at a disadvantage in competition.

Survival of the fittest is a matter of natural selection, and choosing who can survive is a matter of human beings themselves. Of course, internal matters must be resolved internally by humans themselves.

Although Chen Changsheng doesn't have the slightest pressure to kill someone, he won't be so perverted that he personally chooses who lives or who dies. It's not like Tony·Stark is a genius who transcends his time. This is not worthy of Chen Changsheng's personal end. If in the end all mankind blames itself, wouldn't it suddenly add some troubles to itself?

In recent times, the population of the earth has been declining rapidly, reaching as low as one percent without anyone noticing.

One percent may not sound like much, but if you divide 6000000000 by 10, it is still a large number.

Finally, the officials, who used to dislike too many people and occupying too many resources, became a little impatient. At this time, we are not talking about the issue of demographic dividend or no dividend. Such a reduction in population means a lot of strategic resources are missing!

Take a look at India, which is catching up during this period, and you will know the feasibility of burning lifespan in exchange for national destiny.

This is an era of rapid development, but also an era of chaos. Human life is not valuable, but it is the most valuable.

Simple official word-of-mouth promotion is no longer effective. If distrust from the past accumulates too much, there will be some crisis of trust. In this way, once people think they have seized the opportunity, they will definitely rebound and embrace the life they want according to their own ideas.

Maybe this is the "choice" mentioned by the prophet in the world of the Matrix. Free people always want to choose according to their own ideas. Although their choice may not be the right one, they will always die without regrets.

This may seem a bit wasteful, but if you live once in this life and don't waste it for yourself, it seems to be meaningless at all. What does that sentence say? The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history.

What Chen Changsheng wants to do is to satisfy everyone and accomplish what they want to do according to their choices, so there won't be any backlash.
