Chapter 2839 Outlook
The plot of "Battle Angel Alita" is that humans suddenly ushered in the end of the world and almost died. Only vampires can move in the ice and snow. Then a pro-human female vampire helped humans. Then humans made a quantum computer in an abandoned military base. Technology developed rapidly. In the last hundred years, humans quickly developed and colonized the solar system. After that, humans invented two more quantum computers. The three quantum computers became the gods of the three major forces in the solar system. They paid attention to the development of the world.
The main plot is the process of the heroine as a cyborg to find her memory. In the process, it shows the oppression of the people on the surface by the people in the sky, and also discusses what is a human. The human body is transformed like the ship of Theseus, and the human memory can be uploaded to the chip. So is such a person still a human? The heroine fights monsters and upgrades all the way to get a stronger body and stronger combat power. She stands on the ring of the solar system competition and fights with the top masters in the solar system. In the end, her memory is restored and she also gets the quantum computer authority given by the female vampire, reaching the peak of her life.
Now the earth is also doomsday. Although there are no female vampires on this earth, you can still try to rub the computer by hand. Before the escape, the development of quantum computers has made great progress, but it is still a long way from being practical and can only be a product in the laboratory.
It is a pipe dream to rub a quantum computer by hand like in "Battle Angel Alita", of course this is from a normal perspective. Since Duran is here, he can rub a quantum computer by hand. Just like the hand-rubbing super-time engine in "Alien Path", it is just the technology of the Age of Discovery, but it can cross the universe and invade the earth. It can be seen that the level of technology is related to luck.
In Xiao Wang's opinion, this is metaphysics. To be honest, he really can't agree with Duran's statement. If he didn't agree with the return school and the wandering school, he would have parted ways with Duran long ago, because Duran's way of thinking is really not like a normal person, but more like a madman.
What will never be lacking in these science fiction works is racial confrontation, contradictions between the rich and the poor, oppression and exploitation, and other dystopian designs. The higher the technology, the more ruthless the exploitation, and the less dignity the lives of ordinary people have. Even with the help of the god of quantum computers, humans are still in the stage of killing and eating each other, and have not worked together to transform the universe and obtain resources from nature. They are still engaged in all kinds of messy feudal superstitions and still enjoy trampling on the dignity of others.
With quantum computers, it is easy to transform nature, and I don’t know what the point of continuing to exploit humans is.
Of course, because of the development of science and technology, a scientific and technological class has emerged. A few people control cutting-edge technology, and some people master low-end and medium-end technology, and most people grow crops to provide agricultural products. This situation was like this before the end of the world in the story of "Battle Angel Alita", but it is a bit unreasonable to say that it is still like this after space colonization. After all, technology has developed to such a high level, and it is too unstable to rely on population to provide agricultural products.
You must know that one of the development directions of agriculture is mechanization, and the basis of mechanization is seed selection and breeding. After these seeds are planted, they can withstand herbicides, extreme weather, etc. It can be said that only a few machines can complete the planting of a large area. If humans still have to work hard to plant, don’t they have to depend on God’s face?
Technology is not just about increasing production, but also about making crops strong enough to resist pests, weeds, and temperature in nature. In the past, farmers had to pay attention to the links all the time, but now they can be overcome with rough methods. This is the power of scientific and technological agriculture. If it still depends on manual labor, those who enter the universe will starve to death.
So it is unrealistic to let most people go to farm in the technological age. Then let most people become refugees and become unstable factors in public security, which is also a common situation in science fiction works.
This is because the city cannot provide enough jobs and cannot return to the land. It is a common situation in the process of urbanization. It is moved to the science fiction world, which is crowded neon lights, intricate urban villages, numb people, hidden criminals, various contraband and weapons circulating in secret, forming a dark world. Then because of insufficient police force, bounty hunters need to catch wanted criminals. In the end, they will definitely find that there are forces such as chaebols or shadow governments behind the criminals, and they will fight wits and courage with the protagonist. This is how the story of the early "Battle Angel" unfolds.
In fact, the chaebols and the shadow government also attack these marginalized people for profit, but the refugees in the science fiction world have no money, so the evil forces are for their organs, for their bodies and souls. However, in the world view with advanced technology, machine transformation has become popular. I don’t know how desperate these rich people are to give up machine organs and insist on using human organs for transplantation. I can only say that the tastes of the rich are very strange.
Of course, it may also be a staged oppression, that is, the highest level of technology cannot cover everyone, so the powerful use technological organs, and those ordinary people who have no money can only transplant human organs, so it is also a market, and the refugees are the providers of internal organs. It’s like people eat cows and cows eat grass. They are also oppressed, but they are divided into different levels, instead of working together to develop technology and make technology cheap.
Of course, these are only a few oppressions. The biggest problem is that class mobility has completely disappeared. In the world of "Battle Angel Alita", people on the surface will never become people in the sky, but a few people in the sky will give up their identities and return to the surface. The areas where the two live are also completely different. People on the surface live in the garbage of people in the sky and build Rusty Iron Town, while people in the sky live in the orbital space of space, high above, like gods, enjoying the food sent by people on the surface while despising people on the surface, completely isolated.
People in the sky are full of order, as if there is no crime, no disputes, and everything is so beautiful. Of course, this beauty is only based on exploitation. They are not without contradictions, but they just divert the contradictions.
Will this situation exist in reality? It does not exist. People in the sky cannot be monolithic, so they must find a way to introduce variables to surpass other people in the sky, so winning over people on the surface can be said to be the best choice. Even if it is not a chance for the surface people to turn over, they will at least get better living conditions to win people's hearts. Over time, the surface people will find ways to improve their education and obtain better technology, and they will have a chance to turn over. After all, the so-called Rusty Iron City was originally a great city, but it was abandoned after the space age. It can be seen that everything is not unchanging. The space station where the heavenly people are located will be abandoned sooner or later, so it is better to work hard with the Rusty Iron City to develop. If you don't develop now, you will be eliminated together in the future.
It's like when Xiao Wang participated in smuggling for the first time, he didn't despise the residents in the cave, but tried to win them over. He thought that these people could become his helpers, so when Xiao Wang smuggled later, he was anxious and provided help very diligently. This shows that as long as there is a dispute in the underground city, the surface people are the target of winning over.
But the exploiters in many science fiction works are often like a piece of iron plate. Only a few people who have left the exploiters will sympathize with ordinary people. At other times, there seems to be no conflict of interest between the exploiters, which is very unrealistic. Exploiters will also conquer each other and be dissatisfied with the distribution relationship.
So dystopian works are just for fun. If you really want to see the means of solving problems, you should read history books to see how they solve various disputes through practice.
Having said so much, did Duran look forward to the future of Wandering Earth? Will it be a dystopia? He thinks not. Even if there are quantum computers, they are not gods, but production tools. Humans do not need high gods. Humans only need tools to transform nature and the universe. As for division and exploitation, struggle and contradictions, there will definitely be, but as long as everyone develops together, they will not be abandoned after productivity is improved. Unity seeks survival, and struggle seeks unity. Struggle and unity complement each other. These are all future trends.
