After this explanation, the basic problem comes to an end. Everyone here began to read the documents on the screen silently. They have little say in technological matters. The opinions they can put forward at present are mainly about so-called "basic morals."
These basic morals were sorted out by the Illusion Laboratory. Many of the things that are most acceptable to the public are memory templates actively provided by Zhang Yuan and other great scientists, but even so, some disagreements still arise.
For example, "optimism" and "self-confidence" are all excellent qualities in human beings. But what does optimism mean? How to be quantitatively optimistic? Excessive optimism turns into blind optimism and arrogance.
Is it good to be conceited?
Of course it's not good.
There are endless situations, large and small, in the universe, and it is impossible to exhaust all options through classification and discussion.
Another example is "Grief". It is difficult for a race without negative emotions to continue to move forward. Because negative emotions can force humans to correct some bad habits to a certain extent. If you do something wrong, you will get negative feedback, and if you do something right, you will get positive feedback.
This sentiment is quite valuable.
But how should "grief" be controlled? Everyone's tolerance for it is different.
There must be a certain degree of certainty in it. Too much grief can easily lead to mental illness. Too little weight will not be effective.
What is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do is another huge problem.
Zhang Yuan and other experts from Unreal Labs have designed a very complex function with several important parameters that need to be discussed together.
There are also some problems that can only be solved by using so-called "moral models", that is, real human beings, as reference.
"A moral model? Who can be a moral model?!"
"There is no such thing as a perfect moral saint... We cannot be like a hemispheric civilization."
"We can only try to be as perfect as possible. In fact, we can tolerate some defects."
In this way, this scientific meeting discussed for a week, and basically discussed all these contradictions, large and small.
Even if there are problems that cannot be solved, they are just minor problems.
After the referendum, the captain made her final decision: "Then, I announce that the secret project "NT New Humanity Project" has officially begun to be implemented!"
"This project is a step towards level five civilization, and I sincerely hope it will be a complete success."
Faced with this expected result, Zhang Yuan was not too excited. After all, the public sentiment was already so boiling, and the technical aspects were well arranged. When the conditions were so mature, it would be difficult to delay it any longer.
But this is still a very dangerous plan, on the one hand. Candidates participating in the experiment are likely to be in personal danger. Thought modification technology has been used many times on indigenous people and hemispheric civilizations, but it has never been tested on humans.
On the other hand, after modifying your thinking, there is a certain probability of anti-human tendencies!
This is just the first version of the experiment. No matter how well planned it is, there will definitely still be flaws.
What is even more dangerous is the latter. If a species with super intelligence appears and has a certain anti-human tendency, then the entire civilization may be annihilated!
Therefore, precisely because of these large and small dangers, the NT New Humanity Project is temporarily kept secret from the general public. Anyway, it is impossible for the whole plan to win the support of all the people. According to the current social survey, there must be a lot of people who oppose it. It is better to complete it first.
"The number of people in the first batch of experiments is 14 in total."
"Ten of them are human members, and the other four are Gliese people... They will undergo a series of thought modifications to adapt to the 100-200 times acceleration of thinking in the virtual world."
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and signed his name on the plan.
The NT New Humanity Plan defines the concept of race vaguely, but defines the concept of civilization more clearly. When the concept of civilization is stronger than the concept of race, those with unified ideas can basically be regarded as the same civilization. Therefore, in this plan, those pangolins from the subordinate races are also included.
The Gliese people are very good mathematicians. Their biggest hobby and goal is mathematics. They have relatively simple personalities. This kind of thinking mode is quite suitable for acceleration.
Even Zhang Yuan himself insisted on participating in this plan and became the first generation of reformers.
As the main developer, there are many things that are difficult to imagine just by imagination. You must experience it yourself to understand whether your design is good or bad...
As for the danger... there is definitely one. Thinking acceleration is still a very complex technology so far. If his thinking completely collapses, it is equivalent to death, and he can only entrust the entire plan to future generations.
At first, many workers within the Unreal Laboratory heard about this incident and did not agree with Zhang Yuan's personal participation in this dangerous experiment.
Even Professor Yamamoto Ichiro was very opposed. He shouted at the top of his voice: "You are too impulsive. Why are you doing this? Although we have planned for a long, long time, with our wisdom, a series of loopholes will always appear. !"
"What if...this is too dangerous!"
It's like designing a whole set of thinking programs, and people don't know if there are bugs or loopholes in it. It's no different from going into battle naked.
However, after Zhang Yuan's explanation, everyone gradually felt relieved.
Zhang Yuan sighed and said: "Everyone, listen to me first. In the entire New Type New Humanity Project, the experimenters are not death row prisoners, nor are they random indigenous people captured from the civilization of the fallen. They are all highly respected. Extraordinary one!"
Yes, all human experimenters are extraordinary beings, and all Gliese people are great mathematicians.
"Everyone think about why? Because this experiment has the most essential difference. It is not just about accelerating thinking, but also about exploring the direction of human progress!"
"Selecting extraordinary people or great mathematicians is to reduce the birth of anti-human thinking. We must eliminate this possibility!"
"We can't use death row prisoners for experiments to infinitely improve their intelligence. This would be too terrifying! So they must be extraordinary people who love civilization!"
"We have done enough experiments on the indigenous people and gained enough experience. Human beings must take part in it themselves."
"Everyone, this is a war, a war that allows humans to ascend and become gods!"
"As the main person in charge of this project, I am the most familiar with this plan. I can easily perceive the changing process of thinking... I can know what is done well and what is not done well during the experiment. This It will be of great benefit to future research and improvements! I can even transform myself."
"What's more, this experiment does not necessarily fail. No, it will not fail, it will definitely win!!"
After saying this, the young people in the laboratory were silent and no longer objected.
Yes, it's a war!
A war that has been planned for thousands or tens of thousands of years!
