Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 419 Clone Human Or Not Himself?
"Moon", from the name, one can probably guess that it is a science fiction movie.

But compared to science fiction films, its suspense and ethics are more eye-catching.

The name is called the moon, but in fact the content of the story has nothing to do with the moon. It seems that there is no problem in replacing the moon in the story with other planets.

Even Earth.

In the movie, the protagonist Sam signs a three-year employment contract with Lunar Heavy Industries.

In these three years, all he needs to do is to collect the original energy in the soil on the surface of the moon-helium-3.

Although Sam is normally hired to work on the moon, his situation is somewhat similar to that of the hero in "The Martian".

The artificial satellite used for communication on the moon has long been broken. He has no way to contact other people, so he can only endure loneliness and loneliness on the moon.

However, three years is not a particularly long time, and when the contract was about to end and he would go home, Sam had an accident.

First, there was a physical condition, and then there was a car accident while driving the lunar rover.

The story also changed from here.

Sam woke up in the cabin, not only without any physical damage, but also without the memory of the previous car accident.In addition, he didn't find it strange to see the intelligent robot talking to the Earth headquarters when he just woke up. It seemed that he had forgotten about the damage to the communication facilities.

Later, Sam found that a lunar rover had broken down outside. He decided to go and have a look, but found that there was another self in the car.

At this point in the story, it is a cycle. Obviously, the Sam in the lunar rover is the Sam that appeared before, and another one appeared later.

There are two Sams.

And both of them are clones, namely No. [-] and No. [-].

After each generation of clones have worked for three years, they will be eliminated, and then a new generation of clones will come out to continue to fulfill the three-year work contract, and so on.

Before them, there have been generations of clones who have completed their three-year work and "come home".

……

The movie "Moon" mainly focuses on the issue of human cloning, and it has nothing to do with the moon.

The story is not as interesting as "The Martian", and the plot is not particularly brain-burning, but because the theme involves people, it becomes easy to think about.

What exactly are clones?
A clone of a person, or not himself.

If there is no difference between clones and the main body, does it mean that human beings can guarantee that they will live forever in a certain age group as long as they prepare countless clones?

Yu Dong remembered watching an interview before.

The subject of the interview was a primary school student. When asked what he thought of human cloning, the primary school student excitedly said that if possible, he hoped to clone another self to help him with his homework.

This idea is very interesting, but the problem is that if the cloned self does not do any memory processing, it will be no different from him, so that clone should be the same as he thinks, and he also hopes to have another clone Help him with his homework.

Will the two of them fight over homework?

If you ask an adult this question now, would you like to clone another self to help him work and make money, and then he can enjoy life.

There must be many people who will be moved.

But if this is done, it proves that the ontology does not regard the cloned person as itself at all, even if the cloned person is exactly the same as the main body from the inside to the outside.

There may be no answers to these questions, and what Yu Dong needs to do now is not to find the answers, but to write this story.

……

When the plane landed in China, the outline of "Moon" had already come out.

This novel will not be too long, it should be between 15 and [-] words. If it is written fast enough, it can be written in two weeks.

After writing the outline on the plane, there was a sequelae, that is, I was very sleepy after getting off the plane, so after they arrived in Shanghai, Yu Dong fell asleep in the car.

I slept in a daze until Jinling.

Seeing that he woke up, Bi Feiyu smiled and said, "It's really time for you to wake up, you will be at school soon."

Yu Dong rubbed his eyes sleepily, then looked out the car window, and it was indeed a familiar scene.

"I've been asleep for so long."

"Isn't that right, it will get dark again soon, and you will lose sleep again." Yu Hua smiled, "I told you on the plane, pay attention to the jet lag, but you didn't listen at all. Now it's all right, I have you tonight accepted."

"It's okay, I feel like I can sleep at night."

Yu Hua curled her lips and turned her head to look out the window. The car had already arrived at the school gate.

Jiang Jie opened the car window, stretched his head and shouted towards the reception room: "Uncle Zhou, please open the door for us and let our car go in. There are a lot of salutes."

Uncle Zhou was drinking tea when he heard Jiang Jie's voice and came out of the reception room.

"You guys are back. I thought you wouldn't be back until school started, so why didn't you let me know in advance." Then, Uncle Zhou pointed to the top of his head again, "Look at this."

Yu Dong and the others leaned down in the car and looked up, only to see a banner hanging above the school gate.

Letter: Welcome the National Fighter Comrade Yu Dong back to school.

Not only that, there are also several banners hanging on the avenue behind the gate.

[Welcome national fighter Comrade Yu Hua back to school. 】

[Welcome national fighter Comrade Bi Feiyu back to school. 】

[Welcome national fighter Comrade Fu Jing back to school. 】

……

Those who went to France this time, as long as they were from Jinyi, they all had a special welcome banner, even Yu Haiguo had one.

Moreover, Yu Haiguo's banner had one word more than the others.

[Welcome Comrade Yu Haiguo, a young national fighter, back to school. 】

Chen Hong burst out laughing, then patted Yu Haiguo's head again: "Is this kid still alive?"

Bi Feiyu stretched out his head and asked, "Uncle Zhou, who made this?"

"Secretary Hu made it. It was hung up a week ago, just waiting for you to come back."

"Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "What kind of ostentation is this? During the two days when your matter was on the news, a group of people gathered at the gate of our school every day."

"A group of people gathered? What are they doing?"

"I said it was to support you. Anyway, most of the people who came were students. Later, some people asked me when you would come back. They probably wanted to welcome you. If you came back a few days earlier, you might see a few more."

While talking, Uncle Zhou asked Xiao Fang to open the school gate, "You have worked hard all the way, go back and rest."

"Okay, see you later."

The car drove into Jinyi, and after walking for a while, Mo Yan looked at the welcome banner with his name written on it, and said with a smile: "Feiyu had the foresight to not let Jiang Jie tell the school about our return, otherwise today's event The door is really hard to get in."

Yu Hua nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, Secretary Hu will definitely bring people to welcome us if no one else tells us. But the summer vacation is not over yet, so Secretary Hu probably won't be able to organize many people."

"Then you will underestimate Secretary Hu." Bi Feiyu said.

"I'm not underestimating him, but he can't conjure people out of thin air, can he?"

Yu Dong laughed and said, "That's really hard to say. If you tell him the news of our return, maybe he can spread the news in Jinling. At that time, those hot-blooded teenagers in Jinling will definitely come here."

"It's...it's true."
