Chapter 238 Life in the New Era

All in all, since there is no need for proof, the marriage rituals of the past will gradually disappear.

Lin Lei laughed again when he talked about his ranking: "The large aircraft designed by your husband and I has been ranked within 10,000, which is definitely a good result."

"Why are you so proud of being ranked among 10,000 people..." My wife mocked rudely, "You still thought you were number one?"

Lin Lei didn't have any embarrassment, "I'm not a real expert, so it's pretty good to be among the 10,000. Am I going to build this big aircraft in the future?"

"Do you have money to build big airplanes?"

"Money? In the future, the concept of money will be as diluted as possible. We will enter an era of comprehensive affluence, both materially and spiritually. We don't have to work for 600 years before retiring... Actually, that's okay. I am quite satisfied with my current job. How about enjoying 400 years of old forest life? When we are six hundred years old, we will go out for a trip. We should have found a new home by then, right?"

When Lin Lei said this, he became more and more excited: "At that time, we can fly our own big plane and travel around the world, haha. I'm really looking forward to that day. Everything can be designed by ourselves, and then let the universal factory help manufacture it. .”

Wives naturally know their husband's special preferences. In fact, many men have a special hobby for these large machines. Some even assemble Gundams there for more than ten hours without wanting to rest at all.

She smiled and said: "The life you mentioned seems not bad. In fact, I have a dream, which is to go skiing on Kilimanjaro Snow Mountain in Africa. But I am old at that time and can't do anything anymore. ?”

Lin Lei immediately said: "How is it possible that you can't play? Organs can be replaced with bionics. No matter which organ is replaced, except the brain, which cannot be replaced. The only thing that limits life span is the aging of the brain nerves..."

"Eternal life can actually be achieved in the future, if you accept the 'Ship of Theseus' paradox to a certain extent. You should know the 'Ship of Theseus', right? Neurons can also regenerate, but the memory may be lost."

The couple became more and more excited as they talked, talking about astronomy and geography, completely unable to sleep.

This way of getting along is also their daily life. In the most stable marriage, the relationship between husband and wife must be mixed with the relationship between friends. Everyone has some common topics, and even if they have different opinions, they can still seek common ground while reserving differences.

Rejuvenation on the physical level has brought about great changes, even the secretion of hormones has reached a young age.

Lin Lei naturally does not plan to divorce. Even though it is a man's instinct to seek novelty, not all men will succumb to this instinct.

My current wife is also very good. I have gotten used to it over the years. There is no reason to just change her.

He couldn't help but sigh and thought of another topic: "In fact, the next generation's state of mind is different from ours."

"Lin Wenwen is in college and has no intention of finding a boyfriend. Do I think she won't get married? Forget it, it doesn't matter. I don't want to worry too much about whether she gets married or not. Just let her do whatever she wants. Maybe she will get married first. She will die of old age. When the time comes, we will have to go to the hospital to take care of her..."

"How can you say that..." The wife felt a little funny, and she was also a little worried about her daughter's situation.

In the past, the age gap between one generation was 30 years. Compared with the average life expectancy of 80 years, this number is still quite large. There is also a distinction between the elders and the younger generations.

But now, the difference between the average life expectancy of 30 years old and 300 years old or even 1,000 years old is not big.

No one can predict when the next generation will want to have children, or whether they will never choose to have children... The next generation will always feel that they are children. Who knows what they think?

The wife suddenly turned her head: "By the way, do you want to respond to the country's call and have another child?"

"You mean artificial womb...is that reliable?"

The wife said: "How can it be unreliable? Those machines are all placed in the baby care center, and you can check the status of the fetus with your mobile phone at any time. Do you need to ask Lin Wenwen for her opinion?"

"I'd better ask, but she probably won't object. She most likely won't have children herself, so we'll have another baby one by one."

"We don't have to hold the baby ourselves, we can just put it in the nursery..."

The two talked about the present and the future. Who could have imagined that human society would develop into what it is now?

Their daughter Lin Wenwen is already in college, and her academic performance has always been excellent.

However, compared with girls in the past, girls today have completely different mental states.

As the social welfare system gets better and better, they tend to be more independent, pursue their own careers more, and have their own little bits of ideals.

After reaching adulthood, students can apply to the government for their own houses and move out with their classmates.

This social phenomenon is very common, and children often find it easier to live with their friends instead of living with their parents.

They have a very light view of the concept of marriage and can often live well without marriage.

As for retirement life after old age... There are no old people now, and there is no need to consider this issue.

Even in old age, highly intelligent robots can fully support the elderly in a comfortable manner...

This is not like the nursing homes of the past, which relied on caregivers. Human morality is unreliable in this kind of tiring and dirty work, so there are often reports of nursing homes abusing the elderly and defrauding them of their property.

But the work of robots is relatively more reliable.

There are also some education experts who advocate raising the next generation of children as a "genderless" model. Of course, this matter is still under discussion. Girls can also be brave, strong, and fearless. These excellent qualities are certainly good, but it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable when boys choose to turn themselves into transvestites.

All in all, the times are changing rapidly. Whether people accept it or not, reject it or not, it is still coming!

The next morning, Lin Lei got up on time. He chatted too enthusiastically with his wife last night, which made him sleep a little tired.

But a young body is good. Just stretch out and turn your neck, and the pain will gradually dissipate.

"Aluo, Aluo!"

"Woof woof woof!" The fluffy dog ​​ran over happily, hugged Lin Lei's thigh and gnawed wildly.

It is not a real dog, but an electronic pet named "Aroba".

As electronic pets, these pets are fluffy, some look like cats, some look like dogs, and there are also frog-like pets that look like Green Star people.

As an electronic product, this thing is completely non-toxic and can live for a long time with only a little power.

It is even equipped with the most powerful artificial intelligence in mankind... Yes, in order to simulate the complex personality of pets and make people happy, human scientists have racked their brains and actually installed artificial intelligence on electronic pets.

This kind of artificial intelligence is constructed based on a neural network model and has certain learning capabilities. After the training is completed, even if the scientists themselves cannot figure out the complex data in the neural network, each personality of this pet is unique. Humans cannot predict what it will do.

And after purchasing, electronic pets are not allowed to be abandoned!

Otherwise, you will have to pay a huge amount of abandonment tax!

After playing around with "Aluo Bar", Lin Lei went to work with satisfaction.

Not far from my home is a large-scale childcare center. There are tens of thousands of artificial uterus machines placed here, and there are also a large number of robot teachers responsible for corresponding prenatal education. After the baby is born, the corresponding robot nanny will be responsible for raising it, and it can be raised until daycare...

This is the initial socialized public care system. The government helps you raise your children until they grow up, providing one-stop services.

Of course, if you are worried, you can also choose to raise your child by yourself. The government does not force you to do so. You can pick up your child from the nursery at any time.

When he came to the office, he saw his good colleague, Mr. Lu Qiming.

As one of the first batch of longevity drug experimenters, Lu Qiming was looking up something in front of the computer screen.

"What are you doing? You want to have a baby too? You're not young anymore. It's time to have a baby." Lin Lei glanced at the screen. At the top of the website are a few big words: "Artificial Uterus"!

"Your Highness, he's urging me again! He said he dreamed of my brother's ghost again." Lu Qiming smiled bitterly: "And Natasha wants to try the 21-month artificial fetus plan, which always feels weird... a lifetime A baby that can crawl when it comes down..."

"I really don't want to raise children, I just want to live a world of two."

Placed in front of Zhang Ran were stacks of thick reports. Several government officials were reporting on the current social development.

Only two months have passed since the use of longevity drugs and artificial womb technology. Various complex cultural phenomena have appeared in society. The crowd seems to be divided into two parts. The first part is the people who appeared in the earth age, and they are also the divorce army. main group of people.

But what is very paradoxical is that when this group of people use artificial womb technology, the probability of giving birth to a second child has also begun to rise significantly. That is, the divorce rate and birth rate have increased significantly at the same time.

"After these bachelors and their wives went their separate ways, did they look for young people?" Zhang Ran was silent for a moment. "About pornography, gambling and drugs are prohibited by law and must be strictly controlled. With so many bachelors appearing all of a sudden, physical problems How should it be solved and whether it will affect social stability?"

Just kidding, what time is it now? Interstellar era!

Humanity is already in the third stage of interstellar civilization. Zhang Ran really doesn't want to see any news reports, so-and-so's daughter went out to have sex as a teenager, etc... If that happens, the government will naturally be responsible.
