Chapter 776: Future things to the future

Jinling Advanced Research Institute, guest room.
The door opened, and I just entered the boat in the reception room, and soon I saw Professor Angus sitting on the sofa with gray beard, and Wang Peng sitting straight opposite him.
When he met Professor Angus, Lu Zhou's face showed a friendly smile, and he said with an ordinary and simple greeting.
"Professor Angus Deaton, what wind brought you here?"
Pushing the glasses on the lower bridge of his nose, Professor Angus, who was not too old, squinted his eyes, and finally saw that it was Lu Zhou who came into the door, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
"Of course because of recent events, I thought you knew why I came."
Recent things?
Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou immediately understood something, so after thinking for a moment, he cast a line of sight on Wang Peng and motioned him to go out first.
Wang Peng, sitting on the sofa opposite Professor Angus, hesitated and stood up.
However, instead of leaving the parlor immediately, he walked beside Lu Zhou and said.
"... We have heard some bad rumors here, and it's better to be careful recently."
Lu Zhou gave him a reassuring look and said with a smile.
"Rest assured that I have no intention of doing anything dangerous, not to mention that the domestic environment is different from foreign countries. The troubles faced by Professor Graunster, I believe it is not a problem at all here."
After his dissertation was published, the domestic media tacitly chose to remain silent on this tumultuous event abroad. The domestic radical human movement organization, although powerful, is still a bit tricky when it comes to domestic noise.
"... No, I don't mean radical human movement organizations, they are not really troublesome, it's just ..." Wang Peng hesitated for a moment and gave Professor Angus, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, a glance, lowered The voice said, "It's the CIA ... we recently got news that they seem to be planning something bad."
Hearing this, Lu Zhou froze slightly, then looked at Wang Peng with a strange expression.
"... Do you think the CIA has this level?"
Slightly hesitated, Wang Peng didn't respond to what Lu Zhou was talking about at first, but soon remembered the visitor's information, his face suddenly showed a slightly delicate expression.
"... seems to make sense."
To develop a Nobel Prize scholar into his own agent ...
Even Hollywood would not make such a funny plot.
Lu Zhou shrugged and said, "So I said your worry is unnecessary"
Wang Peng: "In short, it doesn't hurt to be careful. He is an American after all."
"Rest assured that it is not important whether he is an American or not. I believe he will not do anything against me, let alone ..." Lu Zhou paused and said in a joking tone, "I haven't been too weak to be caught Elderly people threaten their lives. "
Under Lu Zhou's insistence, Wang Peng finally left the reception room.
With Wang Peng's departure, only Angus and Lu Zhou remained in the reception room.
He came to the sofa opposite Professor Angus and sat down. Lu Zhou picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, then leaned on the sofa and said.
"I guess you probably have a lot to say, and you can start now."
Professor Angus said politely, "What I want to say is only one sentence, please stop what you are doing immediately! Your research is releasing a terrible demon!"
Looking at the mist rising above the tea cup, Lu Zhou said after thinking for a while.
"I don't know much about economics and sociology, and I don't quite understand what you mean by devil."
Professor Angus was sitting upright on the arm of the sofa. "If you don't understand, I can tell you."
Lu Zhou nodded and made a continued look at him, motioning him to continue.
Professor Angus: "I need a white board ... or a blackboard."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "No problem, whether it is whiteboard or blackboard, there are many here."
He got up and came to the wall, and Lu Zhou helped Professor Angus hang the white board on the wall.
Picking up the marker, Professor Angus scribbled down a line of calculations on the whiteboard, and at the same time told Lu Zhou his theory in simple language, using a simple curve of his expectations for the future economic trend.
At the same time, he talked about his concerns about freezing and dormant technology, including causing a large amount of asset sedimentation, including shifting the elite class to the future, including the solidification of the population class, etc., which eventually led to a complete stagnation in society.
Nobody is stupid after all.
If we can live a better life in the future, who would be willing to stay in an era without dreams and cultivate this barren land?
"... No matter what the social form is, in countless circulations, the means of production is finally concentrated from the majority of people to a small number of people. Therefore, we have adopted many methods, such as laws, rule-making, inheritance tax, and so on. This phenomenon restricts, or weakens. "
"Yet your research will waste all of our efforts."
After listening quietly to Professor Angus's theory, Lu Zhou meditated for a while and said.
"While I admit that your concerns are reasonable, I cannot agree with you."
"why?"
Lu Zhou smiled, shook his head, and said.
"It's not just human freezing technology, advanced AI, VR, unmanned automatic production ... too many things can destroy our fantasy of pastoral pastoral. If you want to maintain the status quo, I am afraid only to call on scientific researchers around the world Get up and give up your brain. "
Professor Angus said angrily, "You are sophistry!"
"No, this is not, this is just an objective fact," Lu Zhou shook his head and said calmly. "Technology itself is innocent. It is the person who decides whether they are guilty or not."
Professor Angus immediately asked, "How do you ensure that a technology can be used correctly?"
"I cannot guarantee that, just as politicians cannot guarantee the elimination of war, economists cannot guarantee that economic growth will always be stable, and even the weather forecaster cannot guarantee that the weather tomorrow will be accurate ... so why are you demanding? Should I guarantee that my technology will be used in the right place? "
Hearing this sentence, Professor Angus apparently hesitated.
Hesitating for a moment, he frowned slightly.
"You're right ... but there are risks we can't afford."
"But some risks are inevitable," Lu Zhou continued, staring at Professor Angus, who started to shake. "Our civilization is always moving forward. Even if I do n’t discover it, it will one day in the future. Someone must find it. "
"Like controlled nuclear fusion, many people may hate me because I eliminated millions or even tens of millions of jobs. But I also believe that more people will thank me in the future. Although I Let their parents lose the opportunity to continue to sweat at the coal mine, but a materially rich future will allow more people to live a more decent life, so that more people have more rights to choose their own future and life, and Non-grandparents work in dangerous mines and small workshops. "
This is the law of the development of civilization ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even if it will temporarily stagnate, it will always move forward on a large time scale.
New technology replaces old technology, advanced productivity replaces backward productivity, artificial intelligence will one day become more and more intelligent, even like living human beings, and one day human beings will become their own gods, by editing genes Make yourself omnipotent ...
"... The same is true of cryonics. It can provide many terminally ill patients with a chance to have a complete life, and it can also allow our civilization to open up and spread its seeds, sowing the seeds of civilization to galaxies a few light years away and beyond. "
"As for it may have an impact on our original social order and even destroy some old ideas ... The problems you said will definitely exist, but I believe our civilization will eventually find a suitable solution to solve these sources To our own problems. Just as we solve technical problems. "
Pausing for a moment, looking at Professor Angus in deep thought, Lu Zhou said solemnly.
"And these things are your job."
