Chapter 924 Deep Virtual Side Story 1
This world is always shrouded in gloom and rain. It is like a rotten and mottled ball, seemingly destined to be completely annihilated one day. Countless people are trying to escape this place, thinking that perhaps there is another place to live in the distant starry sky.
Some chose to flee, while others chose to stay. They couldn't bear to leave the blue planet where they had lived for so long, even though it was now shrouded in gloom.
People only realize their mistakes after they've made them.
Zhan Lin looked down at the soldiers training below, and everything seemed to be returning to normal.
Experiments with androids have been halted, and the ban on full-scale cloning experiments has been even stronger. Now, only purely mechanical cloning and gene-editing experiments for medical purposes are permitted.
There may be mad scientists conducting experiments to "create life," but without government cooperation, the space for these experiments to survive is extremely limited.
Once discovered, they will face a cold prison.
Today's governments and military are no longer private service teams belonging to conglomerates.
The reform of the political system and the reconstruction of the superstructure will enable people from all walks of life in this society to obtain their own equal rights.
They no longer need to undergo prosthetic surgery to compete with machines for jobs, nor can they afford medicine and go bankrupt to treat illnesses. A highly developed mechanical civilization should be a blessing for the majority, not the privilege of a very few.
These are changes in human society, developing in a positive direction. Machinery is the standardization and diffusion of tools, but it is not standardized to humans. Only machines have standards and non-standards, qualified products and defective products.
However, reforms and changes within human society do not necessarily represent an improvement in the relationship between humans and nature.
The living environment shrouded in gloom is the bitter fruit of humankind's own actions.
Technological development always seems to be accompanied by the destruction of nature. Some people respect nature and try their best to protect their living environment while developing.
However, not everyone thinks this way. Before the Federation was established, there were always some countries and individuals who recklessly discharged pollutants for their own selfish interests.
Therefore, the already precarious living environment of humans has shortened the lifespan of humankind. It wasn't until continuous rain, barren sands gradually eroding green land, land being swallowed by the sea, and the genes of organisms mutating, that more and more humans began to regret their actions.
Only then did more and more people get involved in environmental governance, calling on people to cherish the environment and protect their home. But in reality, those who destroy the environment continue to do so, while those who truly respond to the call to conserve resources seem so ironic.
More and more people are eager to find a more suitable place to live, and space colonization plans have suddenly come into view.
That seemed to be a symbol of salvation.
Chaebol groups, those at the top, use the government as a symbol to amass wealth, while grandly claiming that every effort everyone makes is for themselves and their descendants.
It seems that's really the case.
Perhaps one day, people will discover a habitable place, but at that time, will everyone be able to board a colony spaceship without any cost?
What was impossible in the past under the control of conglomerates, Zhan Lin believed, is possible now, because she trusted Xie Ning.
"Commander Zhan, this is the list of ability users just determined this year, along with comparative data with previous years in the North District." The clerk knocked on the door, handed the data to Zhan Lin, and continued reporting.
The number of people who can awaken superpowers is decreasing, and no one knows whether this trend is good or bad. Some people have even suggested using the method originally used to awaken superpowers in androids on humans.
However, he didn't have much support, since his proposal couldn't even pass Congress back then, let alone now.
The androids that can activate superpowers undergo specialized gene editing during their creation. The activation process is also very cruel, with three possible outcomes: successful activation, unsuccessful activation but survival, and those who survive enter another process and are sold as ordinary commodities.
The last and most probable scenario is complete death.
The probability of a human using this method to activate superpowers is less than one in a thousand, and it violates the spirit of humanitarianism.
Fortunately, the alien creatures seem to have retreated to the deep sea, ensuring the safety of humans on land.
Zhan Lin turned to look at the clerk, "This year's parliament is being held in the North. Has the President heard anything? Will he come in person?"
