NOVEL NEXT Great Power Technology.
Chapter 601 The Terrible Future
Chapter 601 The Terrible Future
Ye Zhou and Chen Hao returned to Rongcheng in an emergency. They still hadn't contacted the Liu Family Group, but judging from the information collected by the General Technical Office, they also realized that the Liu Family might have been "shocked".
This is actually not too unexpected. After years of games and confrontations, the two sides have already figured out each other's temper. The only thing that surprised Chen Hao was that the opponent's actions were so decisive.
Restricting SUT production capacity was originally a means for them to use as a bargaining chip, but now it is used again, which probably means that the other party wants to use this as a coercion to conduct a real, "candid" negotiation.
In other words, in more extreme cases, they may want to completely break away from official control, from dialogue and transformation to checks and balances.
It's not impossible.
The Liu family is involved in many industries, from transportation, energy, electronics, to medical treatment, biology, agriculture, and media. It can be said that the momentum is huge. If they really plan to take this path, then the authorities must be prepared for the impact.
Fortunately, such preparations were originally planned—they were going to fall, and the change caused by the early attack was nothing more than changing from a soft landing to a hard landing.
Sitting in the office, Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao and asked:
"Do you want to interview the representatives of the Liu family? Their actions are too sudden. Introducing negotiations can buy us more time to prepare."
Chen Hao shook his head and replied:
"They are forcing us to take the initiative. In this situation, whoever speaks first will lose."
"They are not large in size, but what is difficult to deal with is that they penetrate into every link of the economy. To completely eliminate them, there cannot be any compromise."
"And now, our intentions have been seen through, then negotiations will automatically mean a compromise, which is unacceptable."
Having said that, Chen Hao sighed.
"It seems that this time, the surgical cleanup is going to turn into bone scraping to cure poison. I hope our various economic sectors can withstand this pain."
Hearing his words, Ye Zhou smiled and replied:
"Scraping bones to cure poison is a fact, but whether it hurts or not...isn't it easy to say?"
"The Liu family has been controlling the market all year round, and has a lot of pricing power in their hands, suppressing other colleagues so that they can't hold their heads up."
"I think that once there is a commotion, there will be a large number of competing product manufacturers sharpening their knives without our call."
"Maybe there will be some difficulties in the early stage, but you also have to believe that our own entrepreneurs will not be so short-sighted. After the short-term pain, there will be greater benefits, and they can get through it."
Chen Hao nodded and said:
"hope so."
The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Hao suddenly said:
"Seeing Yaoyao this time, how do you feel?"
"What does it feel like?"
Ye Zhou asked inexplicably.
Chen Hao smiled and continued to ask:
"Don't you feel that she is still a little girl?"
"What could she be if she wasn't a little girl? She was only that young in the first place!"
"...I'm talking about the BCI transmission technology. Before, a large number of researchers in the General Technical Office believed that this technology would accelerate the mental growth of children, saying that it is likely that age will be completely decoupled from qualifications and experience in the future."
"But it now appears that the effect of this technology is not as great as we thought. Her knowledge has increased, but her mind and experience have not."
Ye Zhou finally understood what he was referring to, and after a moment of careful recollection, he nodded in agreement.
"That's true... But, it can't be described as 'the effect is not so big'? In my opinion, such an effect is correct and humane."
Chen Hao shook his head lightly and explained:
"From the perspective of human nature, 'technological ripening' is indeed not a good way, but in the current extreme situation, there are neighboring dimensions invading outside, other countries are stalking inside, and there are all kinds of opponents inside. , if the technology can really be matured, the efficiency improvement it brings will be extremely terrifying.”
"Just imagine, if this technology is put into practice and the working age is lowered, do you know how much labor force growth and productivity growth it brings?"
Ye Zhou made a rough estimate and answered:
"About 40%?"
"No, it's not 40%, it's 90%. You have to consider the efficiency improvement brought about by the increase in the synergy rate in the composite industry, as well as the time savings brought about by the faster communication speed after the large-scale rollout of BCI technology."
"90%?"
Ye Zhou was a little surprised. He was very aware of the potential of BCI technology, but he had never calculated it carefully—of course, he shouldn't be the one to calculate it, it's the job of an actuary.
If it is really a 90% efficiency improvement, it can be said that such a prospect is extremely attractive.
Of course, this kind of temptation is only for managers. For beating workers... It is extremely painful to reduce the working age by another 10 years, even 5 years.
Totally inhuman, as he said.
Thinking of this, he said:
"It cannot be calculated in this way. This is not a real efficiency improvement. To be precise, it is called overdraft efficiency."
"If technological ripening really exists, so do the consequences of ripening. You also know that ripened fruits are often more perishable than normal ripened fruits."
"Corresponding to people, after overdrafting efficiency, people will age faster and their energy will dissipate faster..."
"What if we cooperate with genetic modification technology to strengthen the human body?"
Chen Hao interrupted Ye Zhou.
"Who meant that?"
Ye Zhou's expression froze, he looked directly at Chen Hao and asked.
Chen Hao laughed and replied:
"You don't have to be so sensitive... I guessed that you would react like this."
"To tell you the truth, there is indeed such a voice inside, but it has been suppressed."
"The reason is also very simple. If you really follow this way of thinking, then it is very likely... some people will not be adults."
Hearing Chen Hao say this, the anger in Ye Zhou's heart dissipated a little. At that moment, even without the help of the decision maker's talent, he felt a strong signal of danger.
If technology maturity and medical life extension are really allowed to happen at the same time, then it is very likely that those who have mastered the information authority will quickly climb to the top, while those without authority will become slaves.
Whoever has more authority is stronger, and those with greater authority are inherently strong.
By that time, the so-called solidification can no longer be described as solidification.
The whole society will become a steel plate.
"This kind of thing must never happen. You must set up a special monitoring team."
"I have a feeling that someone will take advantage of this loophole."
"At that time, the problem will become serious."
"This is not a medical ethics issue, it is a purely sociological issue, and such a development will inevitably lead to destruction!"
"I see."
Chen Hao nodded solemnly, and then both of them fell silent.
The exchange this time was a bit heavy, but it benefited a lot.
Ye Zhou realized more clearly that behind every technology lies a crisis that can kill people, and these crises were all strangled in the cradle one by one by the Chief Technical Office.
