Zhou You carefully savored the connotation of the announcement, and gradually got a taste of it.
No matter whether the equipment is qualified or not, no matter whether the operators are of age or not, as long as they can handle a knife, they must be killed quickly.
Even if the hasty action will increase the rate of casualties of personnel, we really can't care about that much anymore.
Once the rats complete large-scale gatherings in various places and launch attacks on every large, medium and small city in the country, if there is a total collapse, the country's population will even be halved on the spot!
Compared with that level of passive casualties, the price humans must pay when they take the initiative now seems so small.
In the instructions, there is such a slightly pessimistic sentence.
"What is certain is that we will have to face a future in which the past power supply and communication system completely collapses. Sooner or later, mice will find a way. By then, the infrastructure construction ideas of large power stations and unified communication centers will surely withdraw from the stage of history. Therefore,
There is an urgent need for miniaturization, decentralization and fragmentation of power generation facilities and communication facilities. I hope that everyone in the country will act more actively, give full play to the advantages of our entire industry chain, and complete the comprehensive transformation of social and technological paths as soon as possible."
Below this sentence, there is a hyperlink you can click on.
A variety of technical guides are available.
It is a variety of miniaturized, miniaturized and miniaturized power generation devices.
Design and construction plans for small gas boilers such as small rivers and streams, small hydropower, solar power, small wind power, human and animal power, and various oils such as firewood, coal, gasoline, kerosene, etc.
There are even mini nuclear fission reactors that have been designed before and passed practical demonstrations, but have never been considered for commercial or civilian use.
In fact, humans have already begun to miniaturize nuclear reactors.
Reactors on nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are typical examples.
But now the newly announced design has a total mass of less than fifty tons and can be directly installed on heavy trucks.
In short, just looking at these temporarily announced technologies, one can feel as if the country has begun to fight for its life.
In other parts of the general directive, it is also clearly mentioned that the original large-scale industrial enterprises with high energy consumption must be prepared to suspend production at any time.
Although the large-scale industrial system in the past could bring cost advantages, humans no longer need and cannot maintain this advantage. Everything is based on ensuring the possibility of production.
All companies with some R&D capabilities should switch to developing more miniaturized and high-quality facilities as soon as possible.
We can afford higher costs, so that we can at least still produce without being helpless.
As for many mineral mining and smelting industries, these are core enterprises with high energy consumption. Local governments with similar enterprises should choose human settlements in these core enterprises, combine production and war, and treat them as the same thing.
Things will be done.
In addition, the instructions also clearly informed everyone that a fully offline version of the "Guide" has been launched, which integrates all relevant knowledge collected so far and can be called an encyclopedia of human infrastructure.
Since the size of the offline version must be controlled, most of the content is text-based unless there are necessary pictures.
But even so, the total size of the offline version of the "Guide" reaches 326G.
When Zhou You saw this, he also understood the thoughts of the leadership from a distance.
It seems that they have determined that human beings will have to face the situation of communication interruption in a short time at most.
By then, even if humans can still conduct basic communications through means such as satellite phones, telegraphs, etc., it will become basically impossible to use 5G networks to wirelessly transmit large amounts of data as conveniently as now.
In the last paragraph of the guide, there is also a paragraph marked in red and bold for those who exceed the limit.
This exposition provides a sufficiently accurate and final description of the characteristics of the Transcendent.
"There is enough evidence to show that if humans want to survive this catastrophe, they must adapt to the times and make changes, and they must rely more on the power of the Beyonders. At the same time, our enemy rats have the greatest advantage over us.
It’s the ability to reproduce.”
"Humans have better endurance, higher intelligence, and more flexible hands than mice. Except for the fact that our reproductive capacity is not as good as mice, we have all-round advantages."
"But the current situation is that in ten days at the latest, the number of rats will double or triple, and within the next year, the number of rats will increase exponentially."
"What is completely different from humans is that rats can take the lives of their compatriots. This will bring huge natural advantages to all actions of rats. Even their current technological level may not be able to catch up with primitive humans, but their
The threat is still increasing day by day."
"So, the real chance of victory for human beings is that in addition to inheriting our existing knowledge and physiological advantages, we must also work hard on reproduction and eliminate the disadvantages as much as possible!"
"We can't be more fertile than mice, but now we are not bad! Now the pregnancy period of humans has also been shortened seven times, only taking less than six weeks, which is about forty days!"
"In addition, the development speed of our infants and young children has also been greatly accelerated. In the past, it took our babies about ten months to stand, but now it also only takes forty days!"
"This is our latest research report, and it is conclusive! Therefore, it is necessary to have children, especially those who are over the limit, and it is even more important to breed the offspring of those who are over the limit as soon as possible."
"Although there is currently no clear evidence and there is no opportunity to conduct research for the time being, it can be concluded from theoretical speculation that the children of those who exceed limits will definitely inherit some of the abilities of those who exceed limits!"
"Therefore, we have officially made the decision to completely abolish monogamy from now on."
"Encourage freedom of marriage, encourage childbirth, and encourage those who exceed the limit to have multiple spouses. Both men and women who exceed the limit are encouraged."
Zhou You had only speculated on this matter before, but he had a hunch that this day might come sooner or later.
Now he has waited.
He could imagine how big a disturbance this new policy might cause after it was launched.
What this shakes is the national policy of the country for the past seventy years.
Moreover, Zhou You can also predict that starting from last night, human life will inevitably "depreciate" in the future.
This is a disaster, a doomsday, and even more chaotic times.
Just like when rats attack a city, the Rat King will order his subordinate rats to bite the wires and die in order to cut off the circuit, human society will also reach this point.
To put it bluntly, the current encouragement of childbirth is because we don’t want to end up with a situation where all the adults have died and the new generation is still far from enough when someone needs to sacrifice in a few years.
This seems extremely cruel, even too cold-blooded, but this is the need of reality and there is no other way.
In such an era, everyone is just a small splash in the historical tide.
Even if I am one of the first people in the country to exceed the limit, I am afraid that I can only follow the trend.
Zhou You stood up and quickly contacted Shen Ling. After confirming that Shen Ling had downloaded and installed the offline version of the "Guide", she felt a little more at ease.
But when he was about to hang up, Shen Ling on the other side suddenly asked, "Since we are no longer monogamous, it's time for you to give me an explanation, right?"
Zhou You was stunned, "Ah? An explanation? What explanation?"
Shen Ling, who was on the opposite side, said angrily: "Don't you think that I am determined to leave Fanyang with my parents, go to Lelai with you to take root, and live with others, right? Besides, I have you in front of me all day long. I can't look down on others even though I'm wandering around, so you can't make me stay a bachelor for the rest of my life, right?"
Zhou You: "Uh..."
He was indeed caught off guard by Shen Ling.
After all, although there were various rumors about the two of them in the company in the past, he had always regarded Shen Ling as a true friend and never thought about men and women.
"Okay, stop whining, when will we get down to business? I don't have to go out to fight now, and my pregnancy won't affect my work, but I really shouldn't waste time. I actually think that the child born between us The baby will definitely be very smart, and maybe she will become our mainstay in a few years."
If it had been in the past, Shen Ling would never have asked so directly in her life.
But the latest instructions had obviously changed her perspective in an instant, and at the same time it had become a source of support for her to become bolder, so she asked directly.
Similarly, if it was Zhou You in the past, if Shen Ling had spoken like this, he would have asked Shen Ling if she was sick or confused.
But now, Zhou You just thought helplessly for a moment, and then said with a hint of self-deprecation: "We really need to put this matter on the agenda, but it's not urgent yet."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your notification. Don't delay for too long. Oh, by the way, do you think the last half of the previous announcement was not very rigorous? It was not very business-like?"
Zhou You nodded, "Yes."
"Actually, it was something Huayin and I discussed together. I thought the above would polish it up a bit, but I didn't expect that it would be used as it is. Maybe the above thought was that the less formal the copy, the more it would appear. The urgency of this matter.”
"Indeed, I also feel that sense of urgency." Zhou You responded.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone first. But I'm busy. I have to prepare the offline version of the "Guide" and continue to modify the robot."
Zhou You asked confusedly: "Can't the offline version be used just by downloading it?"
Shen Ling on the opposite side shook her head, "The basic version is like this, but it can only be equivalent to a library. However, Huayin said that what the Chinese Academy of Sciences has produced is only the first edition, and is now preparing to update the second edition."
"Upgrading from a complete personal terminal to a local area network version, in this way, counties and cities across the country can build their own local area networks, allowing users in the local area network to log in through wired or wireless connections and have the authority to edit and submit information. At the same time, It is also necessary to leave a fast and convenient message comparison transmission channel for each LAN-level client."
"Let me give you an example. When the LAN ports of Lelai County and Kangyue County are built in the future, people in the counties who use two clients can quickly merge their clients when they meet, which will make it more convenient. share information.”
"Although these design tasks are mainly handled by people from the National Academy of Sciences, we non-staff personnel can also provide help to the best of our ability."
Zhou You immediately understood the use of this function and nodded: "It is indeed a good idea. Oh, by the way, thank you."
Shen Ling on the opposite side was stunned, "Thank you for what? Do you want to talk about me driving a robot to the war yesterday? Why do you want to say thank you? Isn't this what I should do? If you say thank you, it will be ignored. "
"That's true."
"But if you really want to thank me..."
"That's it for now. I have something to do. See you later!"
Zhou You chose to hang up the phone directly.
Opposite Shen Ling curled her lips and muttered to herself, "This guy is really stubborn. It seems that we should suggest Hua Yin to report to the superiors and change the legislation. Those who exceed the limit like Zhou You should be listed as seed players. .Well, a true seed player must breed at least once a day. If you don’t breed, it is a crime! I see how you can be so stubborn!"
Later, Zhou You, who didn't know that Shen Ling, who was already angered by the success, was planning to cause trouble, called Huayin to apply for a WeChat video.
Since the top leaders of the country are already preparing for the disconnection of the Internet, Zhou You doesn't know how long he can keep in touch with Huayin, but he really needs to seize the time and try to ask more useful things from the other party.
The other party quickly connected, and Zhou You asked something that he had always wanted to ask, but had been deliberately avoiding.
He now knows how shrinking humans age, to determine whether human lifespan is shortened by seven times, just as pregnancy is shortened.
Huayin on the other side didn't seem to want to answer.
But Zhou You kept asking.
Huayin had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, I have to ask my superiors for permission to tell you."
In fact, when Huayin said this, Zhou You already had the answer in his heart.
He just didn't want to make wild guesses on such a major matter.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Huayin returned to the camera.
She first looked around nervously, then lowered her voice and said: "Actually, the relevant research has been progressing for a long time, but because it is so important, it is not allowed to be announced. However, your situation is special. You are a national hero, and at the same time It is indeed reliable enough to let you know. But before I say anything, I hope you can make a clear commitment."
Zhou You hummed, "Is it a confidentiality requirement?"
"Yes, you absolutely can't tell it to anyone else, and you can't let anyone else know about it. Even the person you trust the most can't tell it. After all, leaking secrets only needs to be known to one more person once. , it will soon be known all over the world."
"Understood, I can promise."
"The life span of ordinary people has indeed been shortened, and the shortening ratio is indeed seven times. In the past, the average life span of people in our country was a little more than seventy years. So, the natural life span of ordinary people today can basically be regarded as only ten years. ."
"As expected." Zhou You sighed.
Although he had already made a guess in his mind, when the answer emerged before his eyes, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
My father, Zhou Lingsheng, is 49 years old. Calculated into the past average life expectancy of 70 years, my father can live another twenty years.
But according to the current situation, it means that my father actually only has more than three years to live.
If he is lucky enough and his father can live to be over 90 years old, it is equivalent to living for another seven years.
"But... although the average lifespan of mice is only three years, even after their intelligence has improved, mice have begun to maintain their health. According to the previous rules of human evolution, the lifespan of mice will probably be difficult to exceed six or seven years. The average lifespan of humans now
They are still longer than mice, and they still have certain advantages in the accumulation and inheritance of knowledge. But our social division of labor system is too complex, and people need to learn too much knowledge in their lifetime. If the average life span is only ten years, does it mean that the next
Will our technological level decline faster due to shortened life expectancy?"
Zhou You temporarily put aside his thoughts about his father's lifespan and asked another question.
Huayin on the opposite side nodded first, then shook his head, "Not necessarily. After all, what we have studied thoroughly at present is only ordinary people, but the research on the over-the-limit people is more complicated. It cannot be ruled out that the aging of the over-the-limit people may be slower.
Possibility. Although there is no reproductive isolation between transfinite beings and ordinary people, it cannot be denied that the two are at different stages of human evolution."
"I see. Is there any way to catalyze the super-limited ones in batches now? If they can only transform and evolve in battle, the efficiency seems to be too low and the losses will be too great. In the battle last night, a total of nearly 100,000 people were killed
There are three hundred people, but only twenty of them have become over-limits. We can't just watch 90% of human beings die first, and then the remaining 10% become over-limits, right?"
Huayin nodded, "It is indeed possible. But we speculate that the descendants of over-limits will be more likely to awaken, and may even be born as over-limits. That's why we immediately changed the national policy and abolished monogamy.
And especially encourage those who have exceeded limits to have more children. Let me make the most pessimistic judgment. Even if all ordinary people are really dead in ten years, only two kinds of intelligent life, those who exceed limits and rats, will continue to fight on the earth. But there is a certain meaning.
On the world, human civilization has not been cut off and is still continuing.”
"As for the method you mentioned to catalyze those who exceed limits, it is still being studied, but there is no clear conclusion. By then, if a preliminary method is found and volunteers are required to participate in the experiment, and the communication network is interrupted, I
I think I will probably be the first to sign up as a volunteer. I also really want to become an over-limit person."
Zhou You nodded, "I understand what you mean. Anyway, I wish you good luck."
"Well, the same goes for you, good luck."
…
Develop in battle, reproduce in battle.
Carry out large-scale rat eradication and rescue operations across the country,
Make every effort to maintain production, protect industry, collect and protect resources.
This must be the main theme of human civilization in the future.
