Even if the forces on Earth are unwilling to cooperate with Zheng Li, they cannot stop individuals from yearning for a better life.
The fundamental reason why China has managed to turn a major disadvantage into a minor one in the public sphere is that the vast majority of Chinese people's perception of life is improving.
Therefore, in Lei Jun's view, no matter what, Blue Star is powerless against virtual reality and other advanced technologies that can achieve dimensional reduction.
He wanted to know what the future would look like in Zheng Li's eyes.
No one is better able to know how the future will unfold than an intelligent being from a more advanced civilization.
This is similar to how American angel investors invested in China's internet industry back then, because they knew which sectors would be successful and which companies would survive.
Although American internet companies have struggled to adapt to the Chinese market, American investment firms have made a fortune.
This gap arises from a difference in perspective, just like wealthy people in China investing in real estate in Ho Chi Minh City.
You only know what the future holds after you've experienced it.
What kind of future do you hope for?
Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I will change this world according to my own ideas, while respecting the people of Earth."
The most valuable thing about Blue Star to me is its talent, especially the talent that can inspire and help me in scientific research.
I hope that the value system of Blue Star can be tilted towards scientific research, and I will do so in the future.
I will use the money earned from virtual reality technology and other new technologies for research and development.
However, I will lead and be deeply involved in all R&D projects.
We can also collaborate with various countries on research and development projects.
My understanding of technological approaches and my sensitivity to scientific research will certainly help Blue Star achieve a leapfrog development in overall scientific and technological level.
Without me, even if we already have virtual reality organisms, it would ideally take you a hundred years to reverse engineer biological computer technology.
It would take at least two hundred years to reverse engineer virtual reality and achieve a similar effect.
I can give these technologies directly to Earth, but it's an exchange of equal value; Earth needs to offer technologies that I deem valuable in return.
As long as I think it has value, that's fine.
This is cooperation, and it can achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.
Lei Jun asked, "I don't know if you've read about the Dark Forest Theory. It's the most famous science fiction theory in China over the past forty years."
Zheng Li nodded and said, "I've seen it."
The Dark Forest theory is based on the premise that no civilization in the universe can terraform a planet, and that life-bearing planets are rare and special.
In reality, life-bearing planets are not as special as Earthlings think. Just by looking at the cosmic coordinate system and the Hay constant, you should be able to see that there are actually many planets in the universe suitable for intelligent life.
Moreover, not all life is as fragile as that of humans on Earth.
An environment like Mars could be perfectly viable for some intelligent life forms.
Secondly, there are resources. After breakthroughs in energy technology, the energy in the universe is actually infinite.
With planetary mining technology, there's absolutely no need to worry about resources.
Moreover, a crucial issue is that civilizations do not expand indefinitely.
Endogenous problems are unavoidable for all civilizations.
Civilizations that can transcend their home planet and become interstellar civilizations are rare.
Most civilizations perished before they even took that step.
It's a very simple principle: just by observing many developed countries on Earth, you'll find that their birth rates are declining.
Civilizations more advanced than Earth have even lower birth rates.
This civilization relies entirely on technology to produce the next generation, and the process is completely controllable.
Therefore, civilization does not expand forever, and resources are actually infinite.
Destroying or enslaving other civilizations is a very low-level approach; civilizations that have reached the interstellar age generally wouldn't do such a thing.
The Fairy Tree Romance
After listening, Lei Jun felt that there was some truth to what Zheng Li said, but he did not completely believe it.
"For example, if I were you now, I could completely control key figures and then colonize the entire planet."
But there's no need for that.
The wealth or resources of Earth are of no value to me.
The only thing of value to me about Earth is the knowledge I don't know.
This is what I want, and what Earth can give me.
Zheng Li's last words were spoken by Lei Jun.
Lei Jun was conscious, but found that he could not control his body, and at the same time, his own words echoed in his mind.
After Zheng Li finished speaking, Lei Jun moved his tongue, knowing that he could control his body again:
"Incredible skill."
