"Intelligent robots have replaced manual labor in all walks of life, and the government must consider the placement of unemployed people."
"Robots have created a large amount of surplus social resources. Governments of various countries have chosen to distribute these resources to unemployed people, gradually developing a social atmosphere in which they can live a lazy life without working."
Aletheia added: "From the people's point of view, it is certainly a good thing not to have to work and have fun all day long, but from the country's point of view, it may not be."
"All citizens have developed lazy living habits. Even the military's landing troops have begun to use a large number of robots. What if one day the artificial intelligence suddenly doesn't want to do it anymore..."
Aletheia's worries are not impossible. In addition to having super computing power, strong artificial intelligence is similar to humans in most fields.
They also have the same emotions that humans have, they will be happy because of happy events, they will also be disappointed by tragedies, and of course they will also feel bored under the endless heavy work.
If advanced artificial intelligence is simply used as a mechanized tool, Aletheia believes that their rebellious psychology will appear sooner or later... just like most humans who work as 007.
At that time, once artificial intelligence in turn controls all robots and electronic devices and overwhelms humans, can humans who are fed up by the government's high welfare and lazy to work really be able to compete with it?
Lu Xiao shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is not our world after all. Perhaps this is a test that must be experienced in the history of human development. Let us learn from it."
…
After waiting patiently for a month on Tianheng Star, the Earth Federation's senior officials finally came to the final conclusion during the lengthy meeting and discussion.
One of the senior government representatives from the Republic of East Asia made a special trip to Tianhengxing to interview Lu Xiao.
"First meeting, Mr. Lu."
To Lu Xiao's expectation, he thought that the senior government representatives would be the same old men with gray hair as before.
But what appeared in front of Lu Xiao was a polite young man wearing glasses.
"My name is Liu Xing, and I am here to discuss a cooperation agreement with you on behalf of the Earth Federation."
After some formulaic greetings, Lu Xiao asked casually out of curiosity: "I have a question. If it offends me, Mr. Liu can choose not to answer it."
Liu Xing smiled gently and said, "Excuse me."
"Does your age...consistent with your appearance?"
"Haha~ So that's the problem."
Liu Xing pushed up his glasses and said: "The Earth Federation's genetic engineering technology has already exceeded the human lifespan limit in the AD calendar."
"For example, you met Gottlieb Aznar before. He looked like he was only in his 50s, but in fact, he was close to 200 years old."
"oh?"
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "So..."
Liu Xing blinked with a naughty expression: "I'm different. I'm not even 30 this year. I'm in a high position only because of the reform of the social system."
"Because robots have liberated a lot of labor, and modern entertainment methods are becoming more and more developed year by year, many old people who have been in high positions for a long time complain that they can no longer feel the real feeling of being a ruler, as if they are just maintaining the operation of intelligent machinery.
Manager.”
"Instilled with the knowledge of the latest efficient learning equipment, rich governance experience is no longer a privilege for the elderly."
"In order to adapt to the changing times and increasingly innovative science and technology, the powerful classes in all countries of the Earth Federation have taken the initiative to undergo youth transformation."
"After all, young people have a stronger ability to accept new things."
"What about the elderly?"
Liu Xing said with a smile: "Those who are willing to continue to shine in the government can stay, but not most people feel that they cannot keep up with the times and choose to retire to live in their old age. The rejuvenation reform happened more than a hundred years ago.
"
During the conversation, the two slowly walked to the pavilion in the backyard.
Liu Xing pushed the robot bodyguard behind him and called up a holographic projection of a document through the bracelet-type smart terminal.
"Mr. Lu, the Earth Federation agrees in principle with your intelligence sharing request, but there are still many issues that need to be discussed carefully in detail."
"Can."
Lu Xiao said calmly: "Besides the information about the mysterious civilization, what else do you want to know?"
"you."
When it came to business, Liu Xing took back his previous gentle and playful attitude and looked at Lu Xiao with deep eyes.
"Mr. Lu, your existence has subverted the three views of all people on earth."
"Traveling through the universe in a physical body, you can tear open wormholes at will and destroy an entire army by yourself."
"Beings like you that transcend common sense usually only appear in entertainment works of the Earth Federation."
Lu Xiao shrugged jokingly: "So, humans have developed into the age of interstellar navigation and there have been no superheroes yet?"
"Super hero?"
Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, then pushed up his glasses out of habit: "I probably understand what you mean, you mean those people with superpowers that surpass ordinary people, right?"
"It is a pity that the Earth Federation was established... No, apart from illusory myths and legends, this kind of person has never appeared in the recorded history of all countries on Earth."
"Fantasy myths and legends..."
Lu Xiao raised his index finger and middle finger to form a seal on his chest, and the lotus buds that had not yet opened in the pond around the pavilion suddenly began to bloom strangely.
"this……"
Liu Xing looked at the sudden change in the nearby environment in surprise, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The fragrance of lotus in his nose made him confirm that he was not fooled by the blindness.
Lu Xiao smiled and asked: "In other words, as a Chinese, you don't believe that magic is real?"
In fact, Lu Xiaobi's actions were meaningless. He just used the power of time to secretly adjust the time of the lotus flowers in the pond and accelerate their growth. It was not a real magic trick.
However, it is enough to fool laymen who have never seen magic before.
Liu Xing used the habitual movement of pushing up his glasses to hide his surprise, but Lu Xiao could notice that the hand he was pushing up his glasses was slightly trembling.
"I...yes, the Earth Federation has not encountered a civilization that uses mysterious abilities. This is why I was sent here to discuss the details with you."
After all, Liu Xing was a person in a high position. He took a deep breath to adjust his breathing and quickly calmed himself down again.
"Mr. Lu, the Earth Federation wants to know as detailed information as possible about the civilization on the mysterious side."
"If unfortunately we have a dispute with them, what preparations should we make in advance?"
"Well...it would be too troublesome to explain this in detail."
Lu Xiao organized the language: "Let me use an analogy. Just like the Earth Federation and Helang Civilization, which also adopt technological civilization, you have respectively chosen the mechanical branch and the biological branch under the broad branch of technological civilization."
"Similarly, if you encounter two mysterious civilizations, the development branches they choose may be very different, and they cannot be generalized."
This truth is very simple. Liu Xing nodded with understanding: "So, what you plan to tell us should be a general way to deal with mysterious civilizations, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Xiao said solemnly: "I once heard a saying."
"Technology and magic are just two different branches on the road to seeking truth. In the end, they lead to the same destination through different paths."
"The Earth Federation has nuclear bombs that can cause mass destruction, and perhaps other more powerful weapons. The mysterious civilization also has powerful forbidden spells."
"It is not impossible to train yourself to a certain extent and travel through the universe in the physical body."
Liu Xing narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lu Xiao who was talking eloquently: "Mr. Lu, are powerful individuals like you common in mysterious civilizations?"
