Chapter 1806 Sacrifice
The strategy studio where Dulan works has only a small amount of funds. Although there are many seemingly good proposals, few can be realized. The country still pays more attention to the wall-facing plan of international cooperation. This plan will become the key to the game with the Trisolarans.
But lack of funds does not mean that research cannot be carried out. Duran showed Pang Ming a brand new philosophical system-cosmic philosophy.
Pang Ming is willing to be the first person to realize it. The so-called experiment is to modify the human body, take out the brain and put it into the machine, and observe whether the brain's way of thinking will change due to the difference in the body.
Pang Ming was willing to devote himself to technology, so he assisted Duran in bringing various dangerous goods that the military would never let Duran touch. In the end, Pang Ming's brain was taken out and installed in a modified sweeping robot. , he became the first mechanical transformation person.
Pang Ming can still think, but because he only has the most basic camera and microphone, he can only see and hear, but cannot speak yet.
After everyone discovered that Pang Ming had been transformed, Dulan was locked up again. None of them expected it to be like this. They were already careful, but they didn't expect that Dulan could convince Pang Ming to sacrifice himself. This was simply the devil's work.
Everyone shuddered when they saw Pang Ming, who had lost his body and only had his brain.
"You guy, you should be shot." A female major stared at Dulan angrily, ready to draw her gun at any time, because she had a crush on Pang Ming, an outstanding young scientist, but now he was completely beaten by Dulan. Ruined.
"Today's young people are really too selfish." Dulan said: "Think about the martyrs who went on to lay down the country for future generations during the founding of the People's Republic of China. They will not talk about human rights and humanitarianism. It is their turn. They will never frown when they sacrifice. "But what about you? The Trisolarans are coming in four hundred years, but you don't think about doing anything for future generations, you only think about the present." No matter what happens after your death, you have been brainwashed by universal values. You talk about people's freedom one by one, but you are just trying to get a better material life. What you want is personal people's peace. Freedom is not for all mankind. "Your anger only shows your selfishness. Your ideological awareness is not as good as that of this young man Pang Ming."
However, the female major did not think Duran was right: "Then why don't you sacrifice yourself? If you are so capable, just go by yourself. Why do you want to hurt him?"
"Because I am the only one who has this ability, and because the Trisolarans are afraid of me." Duran said: "If everyone is as short-sighted as you, why not all mankind now perform suicide rituals, clean up the earth and give it to the Trisolarans? Now that he has decided to fight, he is destined to sacrifice. Now Pang Ming contributes his young brain to research. As long as he succeeds, he will be an immortal hero."
"Du Juan, you are no match for him." This girl is still Du Lan's family member.
At this time, the major general in charge of the entire research institute came. He was an energetic middle-aged man with hawk-like eyes: "I agree with you to continue your research, but I will have someone monitor you 24 hours a day."
Du Juan didn't expect that the major general would agree to such a devilish behavior. She found it unreasonable.
But Duran is right, what they are doing now is actually for future generations. The enemy will not come back until four hundred years later. If modern people can live carelessly until old age and death, and even their own sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren can live well, they can do nothing and wait for the Trisolarans to come and take away their blood. extinct. Although I am sorry for future generations, everyone in the four hundred years can live a short hundred years intact.
But they chose to fight, not wanting future generations to complain that their ancestors were all selfish bastards. Since you have chosen to fight, you must be prepared to sacrifice.
"One more thing, if you still need experimental products, please don't take action against the people in the research laboratory. I will apply for a group of death row prisoners to come over, and you will have enough materials." Major General Iron-Blooded is the one who really made the awakening, although He will be under pressure and may even be regarded as an executioner by future generations. But he had to make a choice, whether to cherish his feathers or go to the quagmire, and he chose to go to the quagmire.
Dulan smiled: "I still need Ms. Ye Wenjie's help."
"no problem."
Du Juan's whole body was cold. She didn't understand why humans raised their butcher's knives to their compatriots before the enemy came. Why would someone abandon the moral bottom line of being a human being so cold-bloodedly? If human beings completely give up the bottom line, will they still be human? Human beings without any bottom line are just beasts, and there is no pity even if they become extinct.
Du Juan can't understand that survival is really more important than everything else? If human beings keep breaking the bottom line again and again, who will be the last surviving human beings? She feels that the reason why human beings have become the spirit of all things is because they are polite, righteous and honest.
It can only be said that this female major is too thin-skinned. Killing all the Indians can become a Thanksgiving. The history of mankind is to refresh the bottom line again and again. It can only be said that the bottom line of human beings has always been overestimated, and human beings are far from true, good, and beautiful.
If human beings are really extinct, then when aliens say that human beings are cruel and shameless and are garbage in the universe, no one will come out to refute them.
But if humans survive, when the aliens say these facts again, humans can fight back, and can also cite many advantages of humans, and can also find excuses for humans' brutality and shamelessness. Even if humans surpass aliens in strength, humans can still say that brutality and shamelessness are the nature of humans to strive for the top, and aliens do not have them, so they are not as good as humans.
The reason why humans are human is that humans can be shameless or noble. The seamless connection between shamelessness and nobility has created today's human beings. Shameless when in a weak position, and use courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame to package themselves when they have an absolute advantage.
After returning, the major general began to write a diary to record Duran's cosmic philosophy theory, and began to write a plan for human adaptation to the universe, which was all proposed by Duran. It is to transform the human body, let humans adapt to the environment of the universe, and leave the earth when necessary to survive in the vacuum and low temperature of the universe, and become a drifting civilization.
If humans become something like machines, they will not need a complex life support system, and can simply and roughly enter the universe, which will save a lot of costs.
Moreover, the cost of Duran's research is not high, it is just a human experiment, and at this time, 7 billion people are not worth anything at all.
The only problem is the old ethical question: What is a human being? This requires the promotion of Duran's cosmic philosophy theory, which will not be effective in a short period of time.
However, the major general is very optimistic about Duran, and he has become a believer without knowing it. In order for humans to continue, they need scientists like Duran who have a broad mind and strength, not only to establish theories but also to transform.
Of course, the major general's idea is to plan for defeat before the battle, and to think about retreat before the battle.
The power of the Trisolaran is really too strong. As a soldier, I can better understand the gap between the two sides. Earthlings have not fought even one cosmic war. The existing war theories do not support cosmic wars. They don't know how to fight at all, so how can they win?
But if humans are transformed and integrated with machines, they can organize billions of warships with one brain and one spaceship to meet the enemy, and they can also leave the earth and go to the deep space of the universe. It can be said to be a good way to kill two birds with one stone, so the major general will support Duran.
