After hearing Zhao Yi's words, the old man was silent for a long time. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yi and said softly: "We have calculated that it is difficult to fully implement the entire plan. We can only carry out the plan selectively. I hope you can understand."
When Zhao heard this, he felt very sad. It was just like the plot in the movie "2012". In the face of disaster, he could only reluctantly choose a part of his life to survive.
Faced with this kind of selective development plan, it marks a huge watershed in the lives of some people.
This is the reason why Zhao Yi feels so uncomfortable. It was also like this in his previous life. Some people who were originally talented could only work everywhere and could only move forward in life while struggling.
And some people with average talents can sit in a bright office and boss others around.
If you are not reborn, then you will have to sacrifice part of yourself to survive slowly. But now that you are reborn, you absolutely do not want to see this phenomenon. Otherwise, what is the point of being reborn
"I don't know what the ideal country is like in the minds of the older generation, but in my mind, it has a clearer image." Zhao Yi was silent for a long time and said softly.
"Oh... tell me, tell me?" the old man said, his voice rising a few degrees after hearing what he said.
Zhao Yi is also a mystery in the eyes of the government. He has huge wealth. Except for the luxury of living, any other consumption is very average. Of course, this is relative to the wealth he controls.
At the same time, he is still a very self-disciplined person. Apart from being a homebody, he does not have any bad habits. In his contacts with the government, it can be felt that he is a patriot, but he keeps a certain distance from the government.
Although his wealth is huge, it is not the most mysterious thing in the eyes of the government. As Zhao Yi once said, his greatest wealth comes from his brain. The technology companies he founded are all giants in the world.
With such a smart mind, he still goes his own way and does not hold any appointment in any organization. Even the only position in the Qingnong Biological Laboratory is just a cover-up.
There was once a job as the youngest academician offered to him, but he rejected it without hesitation. It seemed that he did not value fame and fortune.
However, as a businessman, those who cooperate with him do not receive much profit. They operate in full compliance with business rules, and government departments are no exception.
Precisely for all these reasons, he remains a mystery to senior government officials.
This time he was able to hear what his country should be like in his eyes, and the old man immediately became more interested. This was an opportunity to get to know him better.
"I believe you also know the functions and effects of these two potions, but I think your guess as to the real reason why these two potions were suddenly taken out is not comprehensive.
The first reason, I believe you have guessed it, is to allow the country to form a group of highly intelligent scientific and technological workers as soon as possible to provide a solid foundation for the country's subsequent scientific and technological development.
Another reason is to promote human evolution. I think you may not have considered this aspect, so I would like to explain this aspect in detail.
As the level of human science and technology improves, Darwin's theory of evolution will gradually become ineffective. The way of human evolution is no longer through natural selection. As human beings' ability to fight against nature has greatly improved, this method has become more and more powerful.
Of course, we are not willing to return to an environment of natural selection. After all, the ability to fight against nature is the purpose of our evolution for thousands of years. Now we are infinitely close to our goal.
But this is not a reason for us to stagnate our evolution, nor should it be an obstacle to our evolution. This requires us to seek another evolutionary channel.
Technological evolution has naturally come into our sight, and the two potions this time are just preliminary tests for this purpose.
Of course, these two medicines have absolutely no side effects and will not produce bad effects. They are just to verify the effect of technological group evolution and understand the social changes brought about by this evolutionary method.
You must know that social development is not only the development of technology, but also the development of social organization methods. In this way, new social organization and management models can be explored in advance, providing theoretical preparation for more advanced evolutionary methods in the future. "
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, the old man looked at him in surprise. He had always thought that he was just a man in science and engineering, and he should not have thought much about this social level. However, these remarks gave the old man a new understanding of him.
No matter how human beings develop, society will always exist, and in the face of drastic technological changes, new social organization and management models must be explored.
Only a social organization model that adapts to the current technological level can stabilize the current social environment and continue to provide impetus for the development of science and technology.
But before, he was only a genius in technology, but he still thought about this problem and conducted relevant experiments to verify it in advance.
Zhao Yi is a cautious person. The two potions he took out this time are not directly modifying human genes, but are function-improving potions that can fade away.
Once unpredictable consequences occur and supply cannot be fought, society will return to its original state.
Of course, the desire for the sublimation of life will inevitably cause a certain amount of chaos. If supply is cut off, there may be widespread dissatisfaction in society.
Even if ordinary people don't know that special additives are added to this milk, their desire for life will still make them unconsciously disappointed.
"Then why are you saying this now?" the old man asked.
“Because I think no matter what kind of society it is, if it wants to be stable for a long time and not use coercive means, the most basic thing is to maintain basic fairness. This fairness includes fairness in promotion channels, fairness in judicial execution, and fairness in education.
I think that as long as the above fairness is guaranteed, the entire society will be able to avoid cancer, be able to metabolize itself, and always maintain a certain level of vitality.
And the choice you just made violates two of the fairness aspects. Due to selective promotion, it violates the fairness of education and promotion.
Society can also be regarded as a living thing. If this living thing wants to evolve, it must ensure that every cell has an equal opportunity to evolve.
As for those that failed to evolve successfully in the end, they were left behind and eliminated, while those that evolved successfully met the needs of social creatures.
The selective promotion just now has not reached the optimal state of social evolution. If things go on like this, bad money will drive out good money, leaving good cells with no chance to evolve, while some low-quality cells will evolve due to resource constraints.
Although both are evolutions, the two evolutions are essentially different. Good evolution can promote the development of social organisms, while poor evolution either fails to achieve the expected results or has the opposite effect. " Zhao Yi said.
The old man felt that Zhao Yi's words comparing society to living things and individuals to cells were very novel, but if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed what he said. By extension, it was not just human society, but the entire earth, or the entire universe. This is true.
In essence, it is still a cooperative relationship, allowing each part to form an organic whole. Biological organisms are able to express some biological characteristics only when various cells cooperate with each other.
In a human society, human beings cooperate with each other, so that human society also exhibits a biological characteristic. It is dynamic, but it moves according to certain rules, and there is no chaos.
By analogy, it still holds true.
“As long as there is a collaborative relationship structure, there will always be a brain that controls the overall situation and hands and feet that perform specific tasks, just like computers have central processors and various input and output devices, and human society has governments and ordinary people.
But I believe that the emergence of these divisions of labor should occur naturally, rather than being artificially created, because artificially created ones always have flaws, lack sufficient competition, and do not show the outstanding characteristics of individuals.
Just like a person with good artistic qualities is artificially arranged to enter a government department and engage in administrative work, while a person with leadership qualities can only move bricks on a construction site.
This not only causes a huge waste of resources, but also has a huge negative impact on social evolution.
This impact cannot be seen in the short term, but if prolonged, the negative impact will be huge.
To solve this problem, I think equal opportunity is a very important indicator, and equal opportunity is based on fairness. So I just said that for the healthy development of society, the three major fairness aspects are the top priority.
Closer to home, if it is a selective promotion, I think it is better not to promote it. Although social development will slow down, it ensures fairness, and in the long run, it may be more beneficial to society. " Zhao Yi said.
In fact, the above statement is right or wrong, because people themselves are dynamic. People with average qualifications can still achieve great improvement through certain education, but reaching the best state is not possible. Too likely.
Zhao Yi described it according to an ideal model, so his theoretical basis was not wrong, but there was an error in the last sentence.
If it is not promoted in order to ensure fairness, it will still affect social evolution as a whole, which will also be a harm in the long run.
But Zhao Yi still added the latter sentence in order to express his determination. After all, these two medicines were in his hands. If he insisted on doing this, there was not much the country could do against him.
As for the conspiracy theory, it doesn't matter to him, because his own effect is far greater than those two potions. As long as he is still there, biological agents that are more advanced than these two potions will be born.
When the old man heard what he said, he did not speak immediately and fell into a long silence. He also agreed with what Zhao Yi said in his heart.
As long as you are an ideal country controller, you will certainly not reject the above remarks, because their purpose is the same, that is, they want the country to develop better and this ethnic group to have greater development potential.
However, realistic conditions do not allow it, and many ideals can only stay in the mind. As a mature politician, he is often used to making trade-offs, and can only meet part of the development needs under the existing conditions.
This is also the reason why the old man has been silent for a long time. Choosing between reality and ideals is the tragedy of an ideal politician.
Because they may have been like this all their lives. Without a firm belief, many things will be difficult for them to overcome. (End of chapter)
