"Where have I arrived again?" Lan Nuo rubbed his forehead and woke up from the cold subway car.
He who had just crossed over did not know what the situation was like for his other self. The most dangerous time every time he crossed over was when he had just landed, so he remained 12 minutes alert and looked around.
I found that there were many people around him, everyone was riding the subway quietly, and there were always kind-hearted people around him who came to help him up.
Lan Nuo couldn't understand what these people were saying, but he could tell from the tone and expression of the other person that he was asking if he was injured?
"Huh? Under normal circumstances, I should be wearing the right one. It looks a bit like soul traveling now. It's best that these people don't doubt my identity. They appear directly in a civilized society, which makes it easier for me to study.
the language of this world.”
Lan Nuo stood quietly in the subway, listening to their occasional conversations and quickly analyzing the language of the world. At the same time, the scrolling subtitles on the monitor next to the vehicle also made it easy for him to understand the language of the world.
After a few stops, the subway came to a transfer station with a large flow of people. Lan Nuo got off the bus and sat in the transfer station to wait. There was a large flow of people here. Lan Nuo could talk to each other.
Get the information they want and quickly learn the words of the world through the subtitles on various models of mobile terminals in their hands.
With the rehearsal turned on, Lan Nuo was quickly able to communicate with people in this world freely, and also learned how to use the mobile terminal he carried with him. The operating logic of such mobile devices is often very similar.
The technological level of the device in his hand that can project holographic projections is obviously much higher than that of mobile phones on earth in the 21st century.
After checking the device a little and confirming that there was no sophisticated monitoring software on it, Lan Nuo began to efficiently understand the general situation of the world he was in through this mobile terminal, which was similar to a mobile phone and could connect to the Internet.
As he inquired, the full picture of the world he lived in was revealed before his eyes. He lived on a planet with peaceful times. The world war 50 years ago unified the entire world, and the economy developed rapidly during the post-war peace period.
, people quickly built a prosperous city on the ruins, and the passage of time quickly healed the scars of the war. Although there was no technological explosion, technology was still advancing slowly and thriving.
Conflicts between ethnic groups are also gradually resolved over time. The theme of this era is peace and development, and the parliamentary system on the planet also provides a good check and balance on the relationship between the rulers and ordinary people. More importantly, this planet
The moral level of the residents on the planet is higher than imagined, especially the moral level of the rulers is quite high. Whether it is a show or too strict control over public opinion, Lan Nuo can search it on the Internet, covertly or covertly.
Evidence proves that the rulers and officials of this world are as honest as saints. Of course, this may also be due to the powerful internal monitoring system assisted by artificial intelligence.
"Hmm... I feel that after traveling to such a world, I don't need to do anything. I can just lie down and enjoy the happiness. Hmm... It seems that I can't lie down yet. Although the distribution in this society is reasonable, it is really not that simple.
The welfare society is quite different from the Nordic society in the 21st century. The government will use survival resources to force people to work to a certain extent. However, according to analysis, this society does not lack this part of the labor force, and the people's life pressure is not great.
You only need to set aside a short period of time every day to work seriously, so that your family can live a more comfortable life.
This kind of policy is more like allowing residents to maintain their working habits as much as possible and ensure that they will not lose their ability to work in the hands of artificial intelligence. It feels like nothing will happen this time. Even if technology is advanced and there is no war, the rulers will not be too comfortable.
I am lazy because of the environment, and I also have the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace. It seems that I only need to build a relatively stable industry to enjoy happiness here. However... it seems that I have to consider the issue of life span. Although immortality technology is theoretically available,
But it seems that this technology is still quite taboo at the moment, so... just find a way to open a biopharmaceutical company, or an Internet-type company is also possible. It is also possible to ascend mechanically in the form of a living body."
Lan Nuo also has his own desire to live, and among his needs, survival ranks very high. In such a society that does not seem to need reform, his first priority is to survive.
Survive as long as possible, and this does not seem to be a difficult task for him.
Starting a business is easier than he imagined. The market environment in this world is well supervised. Even though the initial capital he earned from working was not very large, it was not misappropriated by his peers. Instead, after he developed several patents,
Make the company prosperous.
His biopharmaceutical company focuses on induced pluripotent stem cell technology and induced totipotent stem cell technology. This technology can treat many stubborn diseases and is a relatively orthodox method of longevity.
Somatic cells are induced to become totipotent stem cells, which can take over the task of cell division and ensure that the cells in the body are always alive.
As for where the blueprint of DNA is obtained, how to complete the telomeres lost during the division of body cells again and again? In fact, it is not difficult, because not all cells in the human body divide. In fact, the vast majority of cells do
Most of them do not self-divide and are replaced by new cells that differentiate into stem cells after death.
And it happens that nerve cells will not be replaced. From the moment development is completed, nerve cells will almost never be replaced. In other words, the most primitive genes are retained in nerve cells. Lanno's idea is to convert the
The genes are directly extracted, inserted into stem cells, and then induced into totipotent stem cells, allowing them to divide themselves, and then injected into the human body, which can basically regenerate the aging human body.
The technical difficulty is not too high compared to the technological level of this world, and it is not morally taboo. Compared with the method of cloning human immortality, which is less technically difficult, it is much easier to be accepted by the public.
The so-called human cloning method of immortality is to use your own somatic cell DNA to clone a person who is almost identical to yourself. When they grow up, remove their organs and tissues and transplant them into your own aging body to achieve immortality.
Even to exaggerate, you can remove your own brain and transplant it into the younger body opposite you, and achieve immortality through reincarnation.
The technical difficulty of this method of immortality is lower, but the problem is that it involves many ethical issues. Do clones have human rights? Do clones have self-awareness? Does this behavior count as murder?
In most civilizations, this kind of technology is relatively taboo, unless the concentration of power is very serious. In a centralized world where rulers and civilians are almost two species, this kind of technology can be developed and used openly.
However, the current fairly harmonious society is obviously not suitable for the use of this technology. Moreover, Lan Nuo himself is not particularly able to accept this method of immortality that violates ethics and morals.
As time goes by, the company's development is booming, and ultrasound technology is gradually accepted by the officials. However, the officials don't seem to want to let him be the only one. They have supported several pharmaceutical companies and Internet companies to develop different methods of longevity to compete with him.
.To ensure that no one will monopolize the resource of immortality, thus becoming an uncheckable force in society.
Other entrepreneurs would definitely be quite disgusted by this, but Lan Nuo, as a person who can escape from the small circle of self-interest and look at the world from a civilized macro perspective, does not care much about this aspect, and even feels that the officialdom is quite
Reason. If this kind of right is placed in the hands of ordinary people, the first generation may be able to maintain their own rationality and ensure that they do not abuse the rights in their hands, but this kind of thing cannot be pinned on the personal moral level.
It is very necessary to adopt checks and balances.
Lan Nuo unexpectedly handed over most of the power in his hands. He only needed to be able to live forever. He was not eager to control the technology of immortality, nor did he want to become an oligarchy by monopolizing this technology.
Big trusts or something.
After handing the company directly over to the authorities, he devoted most of the industry's resources to remote area development and the space program.
This world is also similar to the Earth. In non-coastal areas, the level of prosperity is much lower than that in coastal areas. Therefore, there are still vast areas of land in the inland areas that have not been developed. Space exploration is also unprofitable in a short time.
However, the development has always been tepid.
But this seemingly thankless undertaking in the short term is the ladder leading civilization to the future.
Lannuo feels very comfortable living in such a social environment, and what he wants to do has received official support. There are even many like-minded people who are willing to come with him to remote mountainous areas. They are interested in the construction here and the local people.
The villagers thought together about what local products in the village could help them make a fortune.
Over the past decade, high-speed railways and vacuum pipelines have spread throughout inland areas, and the advantage of maritime transport in terms of transportation capacity has gradually been offset by the extremely developed inland transportation network and vacuum pipelines.
The coastal areas that have prospered due to commerce are no longer as prosperous as the inland areas. The only regret is that the population has never been able to increase, and the inland areas cannot be filled up, so people lack the motivation to colonize space.
, anyway, after the inland is developed, the entire world will be vast and sparsely populated, and there will be no shortage of living resources. Why go to such a thankless effort to develop alien planets?
This made Lan Nuo so anxious that he wished he could give birth to a child himself. But in this regard, Lan Nuo really couldn't ask for anything from the world, because he himself couldn't set a role model. A 100-year-old career
Next, he himself never found time to fall in love, so it was naturally impossible for him to leave a child. As for using clones or individuals bred in artificial wombs to raise his own children, it is still rare at present. Officially
It seems that they don’t very much support this approach, thinking that it will lead to a lack of paternal or maternal love after the child is born.
After several contacts with the officials of this world, Lan Nuo found that this time the officials did not support him, and believed that this low population growth rate was appropriate. Because humans today have achieved immortality, it is too late for them to find ways to suppress the birth rate.
, it is absolutely impossible to open this hole at this time. If the birth rate goes up, and everyone becomes immortal, then no one can handle the explosive exponential growth of the population. The official does not dare to bet that the speed of alien development can exceed
If the speed of population explosion cannot keep up with the speed of alien development, the pressure on resources will likely lead to another world war.
Lan Nuo was also helpless about this. Although he had experience in this area, he also had various policies on hand and knew when and what policies to use to adjust the population to ensure that the balance between the increase in population and the development of aerospace technology was maintained.
It's a delicate balance, but it's obviously impossible to convince the world's officials with just one mouth. This just proves that the rulers are calm and rational.
Lan Nuo had no choice but to choose to wait. Anyway, even if the growth rate is low, now everyone has immortality and the medical conditions are quite good. There will be almost no accidental deaths. The population will always increase slowly and fill the planet.
Then there will be motivation to explore outer space.
According to his estimate, in another 100 years, even if today's population growth rate is so low that it is troublesome, the number of humans will be enough to fill the surface of the planet. The issue of interstellar immigration has to be considered. Technology will eventually develop and progress. Slowly
At least, he wasn't in a hurry.
It was just that after more than 50 years of peaceful life, Lan Nuo woke up and found that he was lying in a quaint room. There was no intelligent robot floating around him, and the physical smart home appliances looked primitive and crude.
It's like going back 150 years to the time when I just traveled through time.
And looking at his hands and feet, as well as the furnishings in this room. Lan Nuo was shocked to find that he seemed to have turned into a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, which made him look confused for a moment. He thought that he could not
Did he travel through time again? This time, he traveled peacefully. He traveled through time after a short sleep. However, after rubbing his face, he quickly calmed down and observed the surrounding furnishings, realizing that he probably didn't just travel through time.
, because based on the furnishings in the room and the style of home appliances, he can roughly judge that he is still in the civilization last time. This can be proved by the language played on a device similar to a TV. Lan Nuo looked carefully
He was recalling the memories in his mind, and found that this time traveling platform also came with a set of memory templates of the original owner. And he remembered that this body had parents.
