These gentlemen were chatting and laughing. For them, this kind of interstellar travel was their first time. After all, most of them had just grown up.
We have to admit that in cosmic civilization, the emergence of certain technologies is accidental. This civilization did not invent ultra-high-strength nanomaterials, and it did not have a space elevator, so it used a space plane to travel between the planet and the universe. The biggest shortcoming of this kind of aerospace plane is that the initial acceleration is too high, and it requires a certain amount of training to be able to withstand it.
For the descendants of these big chaebols, injecting electronic hormones into the head is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, no matter how perfect their performance is, they will be removed from the list of family heirs.
Anyway, there are many heirs in the family. One more is not too much, and one less is not too much. Why choose a person who takes electronic hormones as the heir?
No Lenino plutocrat is willing to fall from the high clouds to earth. Therefore, if you want entertainment and excitement, you can only do it yourself, beat the bugs on the next planet, or play with the opposite sex. The more advanced and dangerous thing is to play with power.
A spaceport like the one located at the Lagrange point is a product of the combination of power and money, and it also has certain economic benefits.
But for ordinary people, electronic hormones are a very common form of entertainment.
Class A electronic hormones are equivalent to simple entertainment, similar to the happiness humans feel after smoking a cigarette, eating a fine meal, or completing a mating.
Class B hormones are the upper limit of what Leninos can tolerate and are highly addictive, but usually do not cause large-scale social problems.
Class C hormones have addictive properties that cannot be eliminated physiologically. Once used, they will soon get out of control, causing mental illness within a month or two, leading to brain failure.
Most countries in the Lenino Civilization do not prohibit private use of these things by law. Because this civilization's technology cannot be scaled up, and it does not need higher productivity. All it needs is social peace and stability.
These electronic hormones are too cheap to produce. The most common and simple type only requires a special electric shock device to discharge electricity to the head. It can be recharged and used repeatedly. How much can it cost in terms of electricity? !
As long as the people themselves are willing to use it and social stability can be maintained, who is willing to take care of so much?
But having said that, if you simply use type A and type B electronic hormones, your behavior is still controllable; if you use too much type C hormones, it will cause the individual to develop mental illness, not even want to eat, and then lead to death...
Therefore, Lenino civilization will experience cyclical population reincarnation. Every two to three hundred years, the population using C-type hormones will gradually reach a peak and begin to die together. During this period, the crime rate will also increase significantly. Produce greater social chaos. After all, individuals who use C-type electronic hormones have difficulty controlling their thoughts.
In a few decades, the population size may decline by 3-5%, and the death of hundreds of millions of people is definitely a terrible time.
Then in the next few hundred years, a new batch of people would slowly be replaced; when the population rose to a certain level, they would begin to die in large numbers.
Repeatedly in this way, this cyclical population cycle has become a social phenomenon.
The top leaders of the Lenino civilization, as well as experts and scholars, know the main reason why it happened, but they dare not legally ban the use of electronic hormones, even Category C. Because it has already affected the livelihood of the people at the bottom, and the entire society will be in chaos within minutes if it is banned.
At this point in the conversation, one of the children of a big chaebol sighed: "Oh, fighting bugs... we can only rely on hunting bugs for entertainment. Sometimes, the entertainment methods of ordinary people are more exciting. Have you ever seen the A-3302 model? ?Although the price is very high, I can't stop trying it!"
Model A-3302 electronic hormone is the latest product, which is equivalent to having sex with a hundred beautiful people of the opposite sex at the same time. Although they, the wealthy aristocrats, can also do this in reality...
But in reality, who has so much energy? It's not bad to deal with two or three at once. Not every Lenino person has the energy to continue doing this at three or four in the morning after a busy day.
When talking about this, these noble children began to laugh strangely.
"Anlaiman, A-3302 can cause psychological problems. You are addicted to sex. Some celebrities have used this stuff too much, which is why scandals broke out. Because they can't control themselves, I think it should be classified To Category B."
In their eyes, the entertainment industry is just a plaything.
"If your father finds out that you have used A-3302, one of your legs will be broken tonight!"
The white-haired orangutan quickly shouted: "I didn't say I used it!"
"Hahaha!"
There was also a small number of nobles who were silent and did not speak. As intelligent creatures, they sometimes had whims and felt that this was not good.
They want to change something, mate, have fun, reproduce the next generation, and then live out their lives and die. They always feel that the current cyclical history does not have much meaning...
But they don't know how to change...
The meaning of life is a topic that even great philosophers find difficult to discuss clearly. How can they change it?
As one of the vested interests, what are the benefits of change?
There's no way a single individual can do it... It's better to live a happy and free life like now.
A few hours later, there was a soft "buzz" sound, the spacecraft landed on the ground, and Hongkan Star arrived.
This red planet is the companion star of Lenino, and there are a large number of crustaceans living on it.
Hongkan Star is a strange planet where insects are the main species. Until now, the Lenino people have not figured out how many types of bugs there are here... there may be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of species.
The surface of Hongkan Star has large expanses of liquid water, forests full of red leaves, and rocks full of iron elements, making the entire planet as fiery red as the sunset.
Among these bugs, the largest is two meters tall and weighs several tons. It is like a small tank and has extremely strong attack and defense capabilities.
The smallest ones are only a few millimeters, just like ants in the human world.
The nobles of the Lenino people do not take electronic hormones. Their biggest form of entertainment is to go to this alien planet and fight bugs with various weapons to vent their instinctive desire for violence... because these bugs are indeed excellent. Hunting object.
Reporters from various media, tourists with some spare money, and traveling students will choose to come here to experience a life completely different from their home planet.
Sometimes, for the sake of program effectiveness, the media and the government will release death row prisoners on this planet to let them survive in the wilderness and fight against bugs.
This is an alien planet. Let's not talk about microbial infections. Those ferocious bugs alone are enough for the prisoners to eat a pot. Such violent programs as "Wild Survival" and "Alien Adventure" can stir up every nerve of the Lenino people and become a feast for the whole nation. This type of program is held once a year, and the number of participants in each session is about 100 people.
These young Lenino nobles stepped off the spaceship, visited the one hundred contestants, and then began to place bets.
Since it is a feast for all, how could it not be connected with gambling?
