Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 507
Xiang Shan looked at Dai Jiutai's chariot, and said, "Looking at you, do you know something about the history before the War of Sublimation?"

Dai Jiutai replied: "I know a little bit."

"Do you know the history? I'll test you." Xiang Shan said, "Do you know how many plans the Superman Enterprise has throughout?"

Dai Jiutai said: "Three. The benchmark human transformation surgery based on genetics, the human prosthesis plan based on engineering, and the friendship plan based on cognitive science..."

Xiang Shan looked extremely unhappy: "It's a mess. There is indeed a series of projects based on cognitive science, but that has nothing to do with the so-called 'Friendship Project'. 'Friendship Project' is an evolutionary psychology project about social interaction ..." Xiang Shan held his forehead. The "Friendship Project" is a project that explores human social relationships from the perspective of evolutionary psychology.The ultimate goal of this project is to enable human beings to communicate more conveniently... Is it supposed to be like this?

Is there a connection between this program and "consensus therapy"?

He felt a little pain in the head.On the one hand, it is the lack of memory, on the other hand, Xiang Shan has to admit that it is the end of the 60s.His grip on the Superhuman Enterprises has been somewhat dysfunctional. The superhuman enterprise of the 60s is no longer the emerging technology hegemony enterprise of the 40s.It is difficult for him to say whether there is any "other content" behind his back among those intricate projects.

And these things he didn't know at the time eventually gathered into the power of the tyrant.

However, at least one thing is certain.

He had fought for what was right.

Xiang Shan stretched out four fingers: "There are four major plans. You actually only know two of the 'benchmark human transformation surgery' and the 'human prosthetic process'. Based on cognitive science, it is called the 'new cultural trend' , and the last one is the "Second World" aimed at cyberspace. Of course, at that time, if human beings wanted to build a completely stealthy Second World, they needed to make major breakthroughs in cognitive science, so this plan also Classified by some as a 'new culture'."

From this perspective, "cyberspace" is not regarded as a "second space" based on reality, but a purely cultural phenomenon.

Xiang Shan did not force his contemporaries to look at this issue according to a unified standard.He didn't even know how the history books of later generations summed it up.He just said what he knew.

Speaking of this, Xiang Shan bent two fingers and said: "The Superman Enterprise has only two plans that are really carried out from beginning to end, namely, the benchmark human transformation surgery and the process of human prosthesis."

"The significance of the benchmark human transformation surgery is to reduce the daily energy demand of human beings and improve the ability of the primary industry in a disguised form. Ah, no, to be precise, it is to change the definition of the primary industry. Maybe your generation just knows it, but it doesn't. Have a clear understanding - a long time ago, the first industry of human beings was 'planting plants, inefficient fixed solar energy' and 'raising animals, less efficient use of plant fixed solar energy'. And we will directly make more efficient The electric power industry is connected to the primary industry."

Bend a finger to the mountain.He waved the last finger: "The process of human prosthesis is to lift the limitations of human weakness, so that human beings can exploit more abundant resources in the solar system at a lower cost. In this process, countless people will be born." Jobs, markets, production and consumption—this is an opportunity for change."

Dai Jiutai hesitated for a moment, then said: "However, the founder of Superman Enterprise did not win the 'second match'..."

"That's our problem." Xiang Shan didn't waver or hesitate, "Do you still remember what I told you just now. In that era, there was no big difference between the strong and the weak. The strong were only in a certain aspect, compared with the weak. A little bit stronger, and then the 'favor of the times' magnifies this difference a thousand times."

Xiang Shan nodded his head with the last raised finger: "You probably realize it. The one in front of you is the most beloved flying pig of the times. But other than that, we are all invincible to the weak." Two people."

"But since you lost the 'second game' or even the 'third game', why not let someone else try?"

"Because I can see through what the hell you are doing at a glance." Xiang Shan said, "Do you really know nothing about the size limit of the green forest?"

Dai Jiutai did not speak.

But Xiang Shan couldn't stop: "The size of the Green Forest is usually around hundreds of people, right? And they are also used to carrying out activities in small groups, and there are even many Green Forest people with only a few people. This is so natural."

"Because humans have lived in this state for tens of thousands of years."

Humans—or "late Homo sapiens"—lived under these conditions for a very long time.

After entering the age of civilization, the number of human groups further increased, and collective activities became more complex.

But it is only four to 5000 years since human beings entered the civilization era.

Such a short period of time is not enough to cause obvious changes in human genes.

Many people have very intuitive feelings about small numbers such as three, four, five, six, and seven, probably because human ancestors hunted on such a scale earlier.Their brains only have to handle so many companions at once.

Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, ancient or modern, most of the protagonist groups of an adventure story hover around this number.Humans will instinctively feel that "this number of small teams is reasonable".If the number of teams must exceed this number due to some metaphysical factors, then most of these people will be divided into small groups for activities.If they have to appear together, the scenes will be concentrated on a few people.

The "several people" are at most seven or eight.

In addition, if it is dozens or hundreds, it is easy for human beings to obtain an "intuitive feeling".

However, humans do not have this intuitive feeling for numbers in the tens of thousands.

They can probably imagine what a "hundred people" is like, but "ten thousand people" are very vague.

Because those numbers far exceed the upper limit of the "tribal population".

The designer named "evolution" felt that humans "temporarily" don't need to deal with such large numbers.

"I think your biotechnology is quite advanced, so it's impossible not to teach the theory of evolution, right? You don't believe in creationism, do you? No way?" Xiang Shan said: "I can see things, you guys Impossible not to see it."

"Green forests just bring humans back to the most primitive state. Human instincts feel that such a life of hunting and gathering and not treating the same kind as the same kind is reasonable, just like it was 4 years ago."
