Chapter 98 Emancipating the Mind

   "Experts predict...the biggest wave of unemployment will come due to the rollout of intelligent automation factories, coupled with the popularization of virtual reality technology, the difficulties that the Jiaozu once encountered will come faster than imagined."

   "However... this is just part of the scientific and technological achievements of the second-level civilization that we released."

  Technology that changes society and production methods naturally has two sides. If the natural environment changes suddenly, a large number of creatures that cannot adapt to the environmental change will inevitably be eliminated. This natural law also works in human society.

  The supercomputer at Base Zero has already predicted this according to the current feedback trend. Today, experts in cosmic sociology gathered to discuss the social problems and countermeasures that will be caused by the popularization of technology.

   “We predicted this trend before the technology became commonplace.”

   "In ancient times, human beings did not have such occupations as typists, nor did they have so-called code farmers. The progress of the times has made human occupations constantly innovate and change."

  “When virtual reality technology and highly intelligent factories are fully rolled out, the liberalization of individual occupations will blossom within civilization, and the so-called industry barriers will no longer exist. This is the real liberation of the mind.”

Every ordinary person will have a so-called flash of inspiration in daily life. Will there be any strange reaction when combining XX with XX, but limited by material conditions and time, this subconscious whimsy Forget it.

  But in the coming material abundance era of Blue Star, everyone can open their own creative factory.

  Of course, the so-called factory is just an abstract concept. The technology used is virtual reality to fix your own fantasy, and then realize it with the automated factory.

  Everything is done online and offline in the entire intelligent manufacturing network, without the need for a running-in process, all individuals are operating in an efficient and transparent system, seamlessly connecting production capacity and demand.

  Even an ordinary person can shoot a movie in virtual reality and make his own technological products. Every human individual can compile his own work with intelligent assistance.

  People's creativity will also be completely liberated...not just restricted by material conditions.

  Because labor will become cheaper and cheaper, knowledge and creativity will become more and more valuable, relying on the production system of the new era, their highly personalized products will no longer be limited by fantasy.

  A person may be a writer in the morning, a painter at noon, a scientist in the afternoon, and start making animation or games in the evening.

  Of course, out of ten thousand or one hundred thousand of these works are self-admired, destined to be eliminated by the wave of creativity, but as long as there is one shining work, it will have value for the entire civilization.

  These people who emancipate their minds will create new careers in the future, and experts have even given them a name-【Creator】.

  As for those individuals who...have no creativity and will always be addicted to virtual reality, sociology experts really can’t say that they are still being eliminated one by one in the new drastic change environment. Such cruel words.

  But from the foreseeable future, such groups will inevitably appear.

   "Does it stop because of fear?"

  The voice of the professor who presided over the meeting couldn't help but raise: "I wouldn't say that this is the inevitable elimination of individuals brought about by evolution, but we already have more observation samples of cosmic society than the horn race and the lizard civilization!"

   "We must be able to find out a way that belongs to human beings to break this predicament. This is the reason why we are gathered together now."

  ……….

  Lu Yu was also listening to this discussion through virtual reality, and the technological progress he brought finally began to spread in human society.

   "Will this be counterproductive?"

  He has also asked No. 7 to calculate the development trend of human beings countless times. The current No. 0 base already has the database of the fourth-level civilization, and is also constantly supplementing the basic subject knowledge of the third-level civilization from the lizard people.

  But these achievements are basically accumulated in Base Zero, because the promotion of technologies similar to virtual reality will change the structure of the entire human society!

   And this kind of change will go through twice... once to popularize the technology of the third-level civilization, and once again to popularize the technology of the fourth-level civilization.

   It is even possible that as Lu Yu explores the universe, such accumulation is still increasing.

   This way of progress has always made Lu Yu faintly feel that it will bring some hidden dangers to human civilization, but in fact everything is developing in a good direction!

  The era of material abundance has begun.

  Three steps in life: study, work, life.

  In the near future, human beings will be able to separate the work that takes up most of their time from their lives, and another era of emancipating the mind and bursting out the spark of human wisdom will soon follow.

  Before, the worry that human beings would be stuck in the third-level civilization no longer existed. The fourth natural disaster of human beings finally began to exert its force, allowing Base Zero to complete a large number of missing basic knowledge.

   "Another 100,000 virtual coins came? What's going on?"

   "That player named Gao Yu slaughtered a lizard man Gao Wan on the Ten Thousand Clans battlefield? This is the first result of the fourth natural disaster, right?"

   "Just give us a one-time replacement of basic mathematics and basic physics!"

   "My God! Isn't this the Riemann conjecture? I seem to understand everything gradually!"

  Before switching to the sociology discussion, Lu Yu was watching the live broadcast of the natural disasters in another hall. He remembered the dance of the professor who presided over the fourth natural disaster project after returning the materials, and couldn't help smiling slightly.

  Although the method is tricky, human technology is making real progress.

  At least the life span of human beings is getting longer, the pains of the past are disappearing one by one, and the will is no longer worn down by the flesh and blood factories and heavy physical work. Material conditions no longer force them to keep their heads down and take every step well.

   When they are free, they will finally look up at the starry sky.

  Looking at billions of stars will always awaken some people's inner yearning.

  The door to a star-level civilization is already open, as long as you work hard, you can cross it.

  When it comes to star-level civilizations, human civilizations will spread out in the universe, and the entire group will no longer fear the so-called planetary-level disasters.

   Come on, Blue Star! Come on, my compatriots!

  After you digest the technology of the second-level civilization, there will be third-level...even fourth-level technology waiting for you!

  Lu Yu left the virtual reality in front of him with this sincere blessing to his compatriots. After the scene switch was completed, he returned to the perspective of the bionic lizard man in Base 52.

   "Return Pie!"

   "We are the security forces of the research institute! We have received a report and suspect that you are colluding with aliens. Please open the station immediately for us to inspect!"

   …I’m trash, I’ll really try to squeeze it out tomorrow
