Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 292 The Road to the Future Still Continues (End)
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

It has been more than 70 years since the life simulator issued to Zhou Ming the task of "Staying old but still old".

During these more than 70 years, thanks to the biological knowledge in Zhou Ming's mind that surpassed the times for thousands of years, the technology on the earth was like a super-light spacecraft, developing at a speed beyond what humans could imagine before.

In less than a century, the earth-shaking technology is far from enough to describe it.

After a while, it will be Zhou Ming's [-]th birthday. At this time, human beings have successfully transformed Mars into a second home.

The moon has also become one of the energy sources for human beings with fusion technology as the core.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology, biopower generation technology...

Based on mankind's current use of energy, the energy utilization technology with controllable nuclear fusion as the core alone is enough for mankind to use for thousands of years.

"Sigh, after so many years of hard work, it seems that I still can't complete the task of the life simulator within the stipulated time. I don't know what the next task of the life simulator will be after the failure of this task."

Zhou Ming, who is now almost a hundred years old and enjoying a long life, does not look like a centenarian at all.

Not to mention the gray hair all over his head, even the wrinkles of the elderly are hard to see on Zhou Ming's face, and he looks like he is only in his 40s now.

But of course, the 40-year-old look mentioned here is the common appearance of the 70-year-old 40 years ago, not the common appearance of the 40-year-old now.

Now if you just look at the appearance, if a person in his 40s and a person in his 20s stand in front of you, you may not be able to recognize which of them is older.

Although Zhou Ming has not completed the task of [Stay old but still old] released by the life simulator, and cannot realize the technology of immortality, the technology of delaying aging has been developed for some years now.

With the current medical technology and anti-aging technology, normally humans can live to be three or four hundred years old.

However, since these technologies have been around for less than 100 years, and before the rapid development of biotechnology, it is considered very long for human beings to live to a hundred years old.

So now there are no people who really live to be three hundred years old, but there are still quite a few people who are over 100 years old.

Since there is no shortage of energy and food, although many people are becoming less and less willing to have children, the total number of humans on the earth plus Mars has exceeded 100 billion.

"Grandpa, someone is looking for you."

Just when Zhou Ming, who was almost a hundred years old, was thinking about the life simulator, a very immature voice came from behind him.

After hearing this voice, Zhou Ming quickly turned around and looked at the person running towards him with a smile.

That very immature voice came from a little girl who seemed to be only four or five years old.

This little girl has a pair of buns in her head, a pair of watery eyes, very cute.

Zhou Ming picked up the little girl who was rushing towards him, and said to her with a smile: "Let's go, go with grandpa to see grandpa's old friends."

After speaking, Zhou Ming hugged the cute little girl and walked out of the house.

In the eyes of Zhou Ming's parents, it was quite late when Zhou Ming gave birth.

However, fortunately, Zhou Ming's parents did not discipline Zhou Ming's children too much, otherwise they would have had to worry about Zhou Ming's children for decades and their lives would have been difficult.

Zhou Ming has only one daughter, and the child he just picked up is his daughter's child, his granddaughter.

The reason why I say that if Zhou Ming’s parents worry too much about Zhou Ming’s children, and they will worry about them for decades, is because Zhou Ming’s daughter is like his own daughter in the simulated world when he used the life simulator last time. Not married, but married in his 20s.

But Zhou Ming's daughter never had a child after they got married. It wasn't because the two of them had some hidden physical disease that prevented them from having children, but because they didn't want to have children in their minds.

In the eyes of many people of Zhou Ming's parents' generation, the main purpose of marriage is to have children. If they don't have children, then there is no need to get married.

The purpose of having children, in their view, is ultimately to provide for the elderly.

In this way, a fertility issue becomes a financial investment issue.

Zhou Ming's parents' generation's views on getting married and having children, in financial terms, is an investment, and this investment is an investment in their own future.

However, since it is an investment, it is naturally impossible to make a [-]% profit. Naturally, some people make money and others lose money.

Your investment failure means that when your children grow up, they are not as filial to you as you expected.

Even if they have to provide support due to the constraints of the law, many people still give some money, or go back to visit during the Chinese New Year, at most so that the elderly can have something to look forward to.

If your investment is successful, naturally your children will be around to support you in your old age, and take care of your food, clothing, and daily life when you have difficulty moving.

However, according to the previous social conditions, the proportion of investment failures is still much higher than that of investment success.

In the eyes of people like Zhou Ming, they had children mainly because they wanted a child, not because they wanted to provide for themselves in the future.

When it comes to old-age care, Zhou Ming believes that even if he lost his life simulator and failed to realize the immortality technology in his mind before his death, the country will definitely provide him with old-age care.

In Zhou Ming's opinion, in the future, he can meet with his children more often, chat and talk, and don't act like a stranger.

In the eyes of Zhou Ming's daughter and many people in her generation, their lives are already rich enough and their life expectancy will be longer. There is absolutely no need to have children to add some burdens to their lives and add some troubles to themselves.

It's just that as she got older, Zhou Ming's daughter's thinking changed a little bit. Maybe it was because she suddenly figured something out, or maybe it was because of some other reasons that she only had a child a few years ago.

It's just that her child was not born viviparously, but was fertilized and developed in the artificial uterus after taking sperm and eggs.

Technology is developing too fast, and people's ideas are changing too quickly.

Zhou Ming's parents, grandparents, and Shen Qingqiu's grandma couldn't understand Zhou Ming's daughter and the others' thoughts.

But since this is Zhou Ming's daughter, Zhou Ming, the father, and Shen Qingqiu, the mother, neither of them want to say anything, so it's naturally harder for them, the old people, to say anything.

Although they could not accept this idea at the beginning, as time went by, they found that more and more young people in society were like this, and they became accustomed to it.

They are pretty good here now. Some young people have lost sight of the concept of "family", let alone getting married.

"Dean Li, rare visitor, rare visitor, have you not been here for several years? Why are you free today?"

When Zhou Ming hugged his granddaughter and saw the guests who came to see him, his face was full of surprise.

The person who came to Zhou Ming this time was none other than Li Mingzhi, the former dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

The dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Huaguo University of Science and Technology has changed for countless times, and Zhou Ming has long since ceased to be the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences.

"It will be your [-]th birthday in a few days, how can I not come to such a big event?

Even if today's technology is very advanced, if you can really live to be three or four hundred years old, aren't your [-]th birthdays only three or four times?

And each time is separated by 100 years, a century is long enough. "

Li Zhizhi is also 140 years old this year, almost [-] years old, but his body is still very strong.

You want to say that one is 20 years old, the other is 70 years old, one is in youth, just when the good years of life start to start, and the other is like a dry bone in a tomb, life is coming to an end.

This is based on the human life span of one hundred years, so the age gap will appear too large.

But if the lifespan of human beings is extended, one is 150 years old, the other is 50 years old, and the difference is also [-] years old, but the gap between the two does not seem to be as big as the former.

"Welcome, welcome..." Zhou Ming invited Li Mingzhi to sit in the back room while talking.

"This little girl is really cute. Is this your granddaughter?"

Li Mingzhi said while teasing the little girl who was held in Zhou Ming's arms.

"Yes, it was born through an artificial womb a few years ago." Zhou Ming said.

"Is the focus of recent research still on biology?
"After walking into the back room with Zhou Ming, Li Mingzhi didn't continue to play with the little girl, but asked Zhou Ming.

"Yes, we have encountered some problems and need to solve them." Zhou Ming said with a smile.

When Li Mingzhi walked into the back room, Zhou Ming's artificial intelligence robot had already made tea and delivered it to the table next to Li Zhizhi.

Although Zhou Ming's research in the field of mathematics has obviously decreased since he solved Hodge's conjecture, he has also solved several worldwide problems in the past few decades.

But it's been so many years, and now Li Mingzhi doesn't chat with Zhou Ming about mathematics as soon as they meet.

This is not because Li Mingzhi doesn't want to talk, but because the mathematics field has developed a lot over the years, and the research on different classifications in the field of mathematics has become more and more detailed.

Although Zhou Ming can still keep up with everything, Li Zhizhi doesn't have Zhou Ming's perverted brain, so he can still chat on the one-acre three-point land he researched.

He couldn't talk about cutting-edge research on other classifications in the field of mathematics. Even if Zhou Ming took the initiative to talk to him, he would be confused.

So, now Li Mingzhi simply stopped talking.

"What happened...forget it, I can't understand you even if you tell me.

Now don't say that each line is like a mountain, but it is not interlaced. I can't understand many new things in the field of mathematics alone.

Alas, people are getting old, let alone the times..."

Li Mingzhi said to Zhou Ming. Although he sighed at the end, Zhou Ming did not hear much sadness or desolation from his tone.

Because the vigorous development of mathematics is exactly what he wants to see, and it is too late for him to be happy now, how can he be sad?

At most, it’s just some emotion about not being able to keep up with the times.

"What you said is not that outrageous. You are not a biology researcher, so I can't be too professional when I tell you.

The problem encountered is actually research on aging, mainly because the accuracy of some current instruments is not enough, and the experiment cannot continue.

If you want to continue research, you must either find another way, or you can only wait for new developments in related manufacturing technologies and some new breakthroughs in the field of materials. "

Zhou Ming also explained with a smile.

"Yeah, biology has developed too fast over the years, except for artificial intelligence with you taking the lead, almost all other fields have developed around the field of biology.

But even so, the development speed of those fields still cannot keep up with the development speed of the biological field.

Sometimes I wonder if there really are gods and stars in this world.

It's just that this Wenqu star has also developed with the times, and there are mathematics Wenqu stars, biological Wenqu stars, material Wenqu stars, physical Wenqu stars...

And you are the mathematical Wenquxing, the biological Wenquxing and the computer Wenquxing descending together, combining three into one.

No, it may be a four-in-one, and a physical Wenquxing. "

Li Zhiming joked.

"Why, you have studied mathematics all your life, and now you are studying Chinese mythology?"

After hearing Li Mingzhi say these words jokingly, Zhou Ming also smiled and said to him.

……

Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time, except for mathematics, they almost talked about everything else.

On the day of Zhou Ming's [-]th birthday, many domestic and foreign academics, political and business leaders came to Zhou Ming to congratulate him on his birthday.

These people can be called big bulls among others, but they are not really big bulls with Zhou Ming.

After finishing his [-]-year-old birthday banquet, Zhou Ming finally saw the new task issued to him by the life simulator the next day.

This new mission is much simpler than the one that just failed.

[Would you like to use a life simulator?Use it once and consume 100000 yuan of soft sister coins. 】

The condition for using the life simulator this time is to consume Soft Girl Coins, which has not been seen for a long time.

The soft girl coins needed to use the life simulator this time are 10 yuan. This amount of money is too small for Zhou Ming now, and it is not even a drop in the bucket.

After doing some processing on his financial account, Zhou Ming began to use Soft Girl Coin to get the opportunity to use the life simulator this time, and officially started the simulation.

[Do you want to enable the life experience function throughout the process? 】

"Yes."

After choosing another yes, Zhou Ming's simulation officially started this time.

"We have finally realized the controllable infinite cell regeneration technology, and now we are only one step away from immortality..."

In the simulated world, someone was shouting excitedly.

Zhou Ming, who had just started the simulation at this time, knew the specific meaning of what the man said, but he still couldn't figure out the specific situation on the scene.

However, as the simulation continued, Zhou Ming, an onlooker, gradually understood the situation in this simulated world.

In this simulated world, three years after the life simulator released the mission "Still old but still young", Zhou Ming lost the life simulator.

But then, due to some accidental circumstances, the first and only artificial intelligence with human emotions and autonomous consciousness in the simulated world mutated and became the artificial intelligence that was originally created due to accidental circumstances in other simulated worlds. types.

With the help of the "mutated" artificial intelligence, Zhou Ming in the simulated world is also faster in various researches than the observer Zhou Ming who formally simulates with the life simulator.

In the simulated world, only when Zhou Ming was one hundred and one years old, the immortality technology that took thousands of years to complete in the previous simulated world was completed on the earth.

This time the simulation is a long process, but the speed of technological development in this world is much faster than the previous simulation world.

From the first year of the observer Zhou Ming in the simulation world, only more than 900 years have passed, the technology of this world discovered the time particle, and Zhou Ming was forced to end this simulation.

After the simulation was over, Zhou Ming chose to retain his knowledge again, and continued to accelerate the development of earth technology in the real world while completing the tasks released by the life simulator.

With the passage of time, the continuous use of life simulators, and the rapid advancement of technology in the real world, in the world where Zhou Ming, who has never lost his life simulator, has developed technology to the discovery of time particles and the research of "barriers" When the "time-space backtracking" and other technologies were in the middle civilization, Zhou Ming also had some guesses and understandings about many things that he was puzzled before.

As for whether these conjectures are true or not, we can only wait for the technology in the real world where Zhou Ming lives to develop into advanced civilization.

In Zhou Ming's speculation, it is very likely that there is a world dominated by artificial intelligence that has become a higher civilization. It is it that has affected some simulated worlds, causing a group of special artificial intelligences to be born in those worlds due to various accidental factors.

When the "barrier" technology is developed in the real world, the life simulator will lose its function and can no longer be simulated.

Although it is no longer possible to simulate through the life simulator to obtain the knowledge that he has learned in the future in the simulated world, Zhou Ming's journey is still moving forward.
