Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 679 Social Problems Brought by Energetic

“Perhaps, this technology that allows people to dream and grow their energy in dreams is actually a dangerous technology.” Yue Yuan couldn’t help but daydream, and at the same time he was a little puzzled: “But when will this dream event end?”

Many years have passed since the dream event. During this period of time, humans have not only successfully carried out warp speed navigation experiments, but other fourth-level civilization technologies extending from the grand unified theory have also been verified one by one. Humans have also successfully created the first fourth-level civilization technology level warship and the first fourth-level civilization technology level residential spacecraft.

Shipbuilding technology has also been confirmed, and now humans are fully capable of building the new flagship that was originally planned. In the plan drawn up by humans, the battleship equipped with a star destroyer will be 300 kilometers long, and the width and height parameters will also reach the level of a planetary-class battleship of 100 kilometers.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, humans should have been satisfied and activated the exit channel of this space long ago, but now there is still no movement.

Just as human decision-makers were thinking about whether they really had to build a new flagship and scientists were thinking about whether they really had to find a type of tachyon that could be used as a weapon, the change that the entire human race had been expecting for a long time finally occurred.

On this day, Yue Yuan finished his daily work in the office as usual and came to the Tianqin Command Center to take charge. Well, for Yue Yuan, it shouldn't be called this day, because today is the twelfth day he has been awake and working.

Due to the enhancement of human energy, most people can now go without sleep for a month. This has also caused some social problems. Yue Yuan just saw a considerable part of the reports on this in the office.

The main reason is that humans are full of energy and do not need to sleep and rest every day like before, so the previous work and rest system is no longer suitable for the current reality and needs to be reformed. In the reform proposal, it is mentioned that based on the current situation of human energy, working hours can be increased so that the entire human civilization can improve the utilization of time.

This inhuman suggestion was naturally opposed by quite a number of people.

However, the opposing voices basically come from experts, scholars, and scientists, because within the current human civilization, most production and manufacturing-related jobs have been replaced by strong artificial intelligence. Ordinary people actually have very few jobs, and the work they do is basically a hobby.

Therefore, the talk of increasing working hours is naturally aimed at scientific researchers, scientists, and various experts and scholars who lead the progress of human civilization.

In fact, they are also very contradictory. On the one hand, it is the need for the progress of human civilization, and on the other hand, it is the individual's own leisure needs. If we follow the previous work and rest system, then humans will have more rest time, because all the time we used to sleep was rest time.

According to the eight-hour work system, you can rest for sixteen hours in a twenty-four-hour day.

In fact, it is possible to follow this work system, but because they are full of energy, many people always feel that they would be sorry for their vigorous energy if they do not increase their working hours. However, there are also quite a number of people who remain silent. They think the current situation is good, but due to political correctness they have to stand up and support the proposal to increase working hours, because this is all for the efficient development of the entire human race, and opposing it will make them seem a little lacking in service spirit.

Yue Yuan actually saw all of this. He actually supported increasing working hours, but then he thought, those doing scientific research are already very tired, and the development of human technology all depends on this group. Now that they finally have more energy and more time, increasing working hours is a bit exploitative. Yue Yuan knew that if this proposal was brought to the general meeting for discussion and decision, then nine out of ten people would support increasing working hours, but the specific increase in how much is still to be discussed. He did not make a decision directly, but waited for the matter to settle for a while to see everyone's reaction and acceptance.

However, no matter how it is reformed, it is impossible to turn it into a perverted system where people work as long as they are awake.

The changes in human nature will lead to social problems, which is something the new government has already encountered, so Yue Yuan is not too worried about this matter at the moment. The work system will definitely change, but it will not be decided so hastily, and it is estimated that several more meetings will be held for discussion.

Because it involves many issues, not just the work and rest system. After all, if the work and rest system is changed, then should humans still keep the "24 hours a day" time unit? Should we come up with another time unit to adapt to the vigorous energy of humans?

There are all kinds of opinions in the opinion report. Some people support changing everything, while others support maintaining the status quo. Those who support change believe that humans should keep pace with the times. Since individuals themselves have evolved, the actual system should also change accordingly, rather than sticking to the old system of the earth. That will only make human thought stagnate and never become a true space life.

Those who support maintaining the status quo also have their own reasons. They think that modifying the time unit is meaningless. At most, it will add a burden to human memory and make daily narrative communication more difficult. This group of people actually support changing the existing work and rest system, but they do not support modifying the names of various time units.

There are more social problems that arise when humans become full of energy. People living on the spaceships have some violence problems because of their high energy. They are the kind of people who think they are very powerful and feel uncomfortable if they don't destroy something. The problem is not big, it just adds some daily work to the security personnel.

Of course, not all things are bad since humans have become energetic. At least some changes have occurred among the ordinary humans living on the spaceships.

Many people are so energetic that they stay awake for long periods of time. Strong artificial intelligence is basically responsible for all the work done by humans. In this case, they become a group of people who are bored. Therefore, in order to avoid being bored and having nothing to do, a considerable number of them join the entertainment industry, while others find things to do according to their own interests.

For example, they can set up a studio by themselves, or several people with the same hobbies can join together to set up a hobby club and make some small inventions in it. Some folk masters have also set up high-tech studios to try to compete with strong artificial intelligence in manufacturing precision in certain aspects of creation.

There are also some top talents who, in their spare time, devote themselves to studying various precision mechanical structures out of their own interest, which can be regarded as a contribution to the further development of human mechanical proficiency.

In general, after a dream event occurs, it takes humans quite some time to digest the changes brought about by it.
