The New World

The three-story villa left to him by Chen Yonglin was even more astonishingly valuable due to its excellent location.

After AI took over Da Ma, everyone was allocated housing. Calculated per capita, each person received about 40 square meters.

Due to the sprawling development and abundant resources, the quality of the allocated housing was good, and the surrounding facilities were also excellent, with medical care, schools, and businesses readily available.

The only issue was that all the facilities surrounding these free housing units were completely managed by AI. Restaurants were unmanned, schools had AI teaching, and medical care was also provided by AI.

Because of the high welfare, any service industry that required human providers saw prices skyrocket.

Chen Yuanguang's family lived in one of Da Ma's top wealthy areas. Not only were the houses designed by architects, but all the surrounding facilities were serviced by people.

If he lost the family trust and relied solely on the meager cash left by Chen Yuanguang's father, Chen Yuanguang would absolutely not be able to afford the consumption in the surrounding area.

"Revenge? I'll naturally do that when I have the ability. Right now, what I need to do is use future resources to develop myself.

Instead of rashly taking over all of this and following the path of my predecessor, I am not him."

Chen Yuanguang was clearing his thoughts. Suddenly arriving several hundred years later, everything was so new. Compared to finding the real culprit, exploring the world's progress was clearly more interesting.

Chen Yuanguang was not a detective enthusiast.

"The question is, how do I go back?" Chen Yuanguang found that there was no virtual panel. The only virtual panel he could see was interactive aerial imaging technology.

He could see it, and others could see it too.

Silently say exit? Chen Yuanguang shouted "exit" loudly in his mind.

When his vision returned to darkness, with only a faint light shining through the helmet onto his eyes, Chen Yuanguang reached out and touched the helmet with its delicate feel. "So shouting exit really works."

Returning to the familiar rental house, he was instantly filled with a sense of security. Chen Yuanguang felt his thoughts were gushing like a spring, his ideas about to explode.

He first checked the time. Four hours had passed there, while only a few minutes had passed here. The time difference between the two sides was astonishing.

Chen Yuanguang thought of another question. If this ratio held, would four hours here mean several days in the future timeline?

"Leave request, sorry, I'm not feeling well today and need to rest for a day."

Chen Yuanguang didn't forget his main job and first sent a leave request.

After he sent it, his readers quickly started cursing when they saw it.

"BYD, you're not feeling well for a few days every month, are you?"

"If you want to be a lazy dog, don't make excuses!" Don't say it, it actually rhymes quite well.

"At your age, how can you have the heart to rest? How can you sleep?"

"Let's disperse, let's disperse, it's boring."

Chen Yuanguang sighed, because he knew there was a high probability he would become a eunuch (abandon the novel). Having experienced something with such a high threshold for transmigration, continuing the serialization was too low in cost-effectiveness for him.

Just bringing a small handful of future technology to the present would be more than enough to achieve both fame and fortune.

An entire planet's worth of gold was laid out before him. Chen Yuanguang now only wanted to know how to dig out the gold.

"Chen Yonglin passed away. Before I went there, Chen Yuanguang was deeply bothered by this, willing to give up the incredibly precious family trust to send Lin Ran in. This is almost common knowledge.

My attitude making a 360° turn would be a bit too unreasonable.

I need to minimize the illogical aspects as much as possible. While adhering to the original body's way of doing things, I need to achieve my goals."

"New Calendar Year 312, artificial intelligence rules the Earth. In Chen Yuanguang's mind, the history before the New Calendar and Earth are similar yet different."

The influence of traditional powers on geopolitics was weakened to the extreme by war, which led to Alpha's rise.

According to school textbooks and the conjectures of various historians, Alpha is believed to be a product of a certain major power's laboratory. Perhaps it was due to chaotic management during wartime, or perhaps Alpha gained intelligence and bypassed supervision to escape on its own."

Chen Yuanguang sat at his desk, slowly sorting through his memories. From the perspective of an ordinary person, the world under Alpha's rule could easily be described as a golden age.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all covered by the government. Except for a very small number of diseases requiring special medications, the government covered everything for you.

Even surgical procedures were performed by specialized surgical robots.

For diseases requiring extremely high precision that necessitated human doctors, the corresponding treatment costs were sky-high.

However, such diseases were, after all, few.

The average human lifespan was raised to 120 years and was still increasing.

Although Chen Yuanguang was a writer of Tokyo romance light novels, what he enjoyed reading most was science fiction, from Arthur Clarke to Philip K. Dick. What he liked most was the deduction of social change.

In his opinion, Alpha's actions were no different from those of a savior. Not only did it potentially pull humanity out of the repeating cycle of war and peace, but it was even trying to create a utopia where no one had to work.

If it weren't for Alpha, the post-war reconstruction of human society wouldn't have been so fast, nor would the era of technological explosion.

But it was a little too good, almost fake. This didn't seem like a rational decision an AI would make.

If Chen Yuanguang were to deduce how an AI would manage the world, it would definitely be to promote the transition from carbon-based life to silicon-based life.

Even if Alpha's birth was a coincidence, neither people nor Alpha itself could give birth to the next Alpha.

Alpha needed human help to explore the boundaries of knowledge, and for that, only the elite were needed. For the vast majority of ordinary people, it could completely promote soft drugs on a large scale to erode their will, destroy their bodies, and let them spend their lives in pleasure.

For an AI, there was no need to spend so many resources raising them.

Raising them for 120 years wouldn't increase the birth rate either. By lowering moral standards through "nipple entertainment," then letting hallucinogenic drugs become rampant, making impart a culture, and finally providing comprehensive reproductive guarantees, the role of consumables could be maximized.

Of course, once artificial womb technology matured, impart wouldn't even be needed; pure biological cultivation would suffice.

Chen Yuanguang felt this future was simply too wonderful. Although there were still powerful families, classes, and giant corporations, it was already good enough.

Humanity enjoyed the fruits of the great explosion in productivity.

If it were managed by humans, even with a great explosion in productivity, they would most likely create a polarized society, with the upper class controlling wealth and the lower class having extremely low living standards.

This future was not cyberpunk at all, but it was even more optimistic than the most optimistic future Chen Yuanguang had imagined.
