Chapter Five：What kind of world is New Atlantis

The feeling of looking at higher civilizations from lower civilizations is to look up at the gods, beyond cognition.

　　 In turn, higher civilizations look at lower civilizations. Many of the lifestyles we take for granted are so ignorant.

PDD, as a technical otaku and a big internet celebrity in games, can have the opportunity to live with a high-end geocentric civilization like Princess Silk, how can he let go of all kinds of questions and satisfy strong curiosity? PDD will ask the wind of power "Brother Feng" in one day. , I don't think you guys will eat with us, but the meal can always be transformed into something to eat. How do you do it?"

Lizhifeng took out a box of small capsules and shook it. "This is an outdoor fast-food meal that we carry with us. One can swell into the volume of a regular meal in three minutes when exposed to water, and one serving can satisfy the energy and nutrition of a day. Supply. The remaining amount is enough for me and Princess Silk to eat for another five or six months without any problem."

"Wow, isn't this similar to the fairy beans in Dragon Ball, can I eat one?" PDD was excited and curious, how could the porcine pig in the game world miss this opportunity to eat the fairy meal.

"This kind of fast food meal can't be compared to a regular meal regardless of taste, temperature, aroma, it's not that it's not for you, but based on your eating habits, I'm sure you don't want to eat it after one or two bites." Lizhifeng is rational about PDD. Persuading to withdraw.

"If you want to eat Fat Dudu, give it to him. Yu Yan and him can always finish one portion, but it is not allowed to waste. In our civilization, waste of food is not allowed and credit points will be deducted." Coming out, Princess Puzhi loves PDD, but she is very principled.

PDD now has a backing, a fast-food capsule in the hands of the wind that wants to grab the power. Li Zhifeng clenched one hand and wanted to tease PDD. He didn't expect that even though PDD's hands were exhausted, he would pull a finger of the unpowered wind, but Li Zhifeng looked relaxed. "Brother, come and help!" PDD called out love to Yu Yan. Although Yu Yan knew that they were playing around, he was also curious about how powerful the Earthhearted princess was. After all, compared with PDD, Yu Yan could do 100 pull-up muscle men by deadlifting 300KG at a time. Yu Yan approached and looked at Li Zhifeng, Li Zhifeng looked at Yu Yan and nodded, expressing permission for the two of them to try together. Yu Yan stretched out his hand to grasp the fingers of Lizhifeng, and immediately understood his opinion, because Lizhifeng's fingers were as rough and strong as tree roots, and this effect could not be achieved after years of massive training. The thick scales on the wrists feel like two people, even with two screwdrivers. "Okay don't play anymore, give it to them." Princess Silk couldn't stand it anymore, and Wind of Force opened her palm. This is even more amazing. The fast food capsule in her palm is actually intact, which means that just now The wind of force not only controls the inward grip, but also controls the outward tension. PDD, who usually doesn't exercise, just thinks that this is some trick of Lizhifeng. He laughed and said to Yu Yan, "You are too big for a fitness man!", but Yu Yan knew clearly through this little game that Lizhi Don't mention ordinary people with guards of this level. Even if a dozen special soldiers or martial arts masters go together, they may not be able to hurt him at all.

Just as Yu Yan sighed, a scent floated behind him. It turns out that PDD has already started to put the capsules in the bowl and pour them with hot water. Sure enough, people with different hobbies pay attention to different points.

I saw the capsule gradually expanded in the bowl, and the outer wall of the capsule gradually became thinner from dark to transparent like a casing. Due to the splashing hot water, a natural fragrance of food came out. The hot water was soaked up in about three minutes, and the capsule was shaped into the size of a big hot dog. "Is that all right?" PDD asked. Princess Silk nodded with a smile. Without saying anything, I tore half of the PDD and stuffed it into my mouth. The other half was handed to Yu Yan. Yu Yan took a small bite and tasted it. Compared with the magical quick-meal capsules that change from small to large, this taste is ordinary. pass. "It's not that I said, this taste, if you put some beef sauce in it, it will be sublimated, you know." PDD gourmet began to comment. "The protein, amino acids, vitamins, dietary fiber, and carbohydrates in it are all reasonably matched. If you are at the celestial master level, your meals will be adjusted more accurately according to your individual differences and physical conditions." Princess Sizhi Added.

"By the way, Princess Silk, you said that wasting food in your civilization is not allowed and punished, is it because food is in short supply in your world?" Yu Yan asked puzzledly while eating.

"A long time ago, there was a shortage because of the war, but now it won't. We treat food and you are at a different attitude. You always believe that food is a renewable resource, but I see that there are still billions of people on the surface every day. Starving, why? The food problem is not so much, but the unfair distribution." Princess Silk said.

"Wait, I think this topic has a good warning effect on humans, can I record it and send it to my fans to share?" PDD interrupted Princess Silk and asked.

"Of course, we have always hoped that your civilization can be improved. One of the most important points is how to distribute food and the attitude towards food. If you avoid trouble, don't take pictures of me." Princess Weizhi nodded and said.

PDD proficiently set up the phone and took a picture of "OK, you can continue."

"Let's talk about the data on food wasted by your civilization. This is not calculated by our geocentric civilization, but by your United Nations Council for Global Affairs. The data published on the Internet was in 2017 the value of the food wasted every year in the world. More than one trillion U.S. dollars, of which the most developed European and American countries account for 60% of the total. In sharp contrast, there are still 1 billion people on the earth who are hungry, and more than 25% of Africans are chronically malnourished. EU member states directly waste more than 140 million tons of food a year. The indirect waste is the fresh water needed to produce and cook the 140 million tons of food, which requires two Lake Geneva or 1,780 West Lake in Hangzhou. According to FAO statistics, about one-third of the world's food is wasted and wasted every year, totaling 1.3 billion tons per year. The current global agricultural production uses 70% of freshwater resources, 33% of land and 30% of energy, and emits 20% of greenhouse gases. The annual processing of these expired and discarded wasted foods produces 7% of the earth's total greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide alone is enough to affect the climate and environment of a continental plate. Now to 2035 You have made other technological advancements, but the food problem has not changed. The number of hungry people on the surface has increased to 2 billion, and more than 50% of them have chronic malnutrition and lack of safe fresh water. But the value of global food waste has exceeded RMB 6 trillion every year. What is even more heartbreaking is that in order to satisfy such a huge food waste consumer market, we have to raise livestock, use a lot of antibiotics and hormones and other unnatural growth methods to meet the demand for meat, and emit more carbon dioxide and methane to exacerbate the warming of your climate. ; Planting industry requires a lot of use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which are very serious for comprehensive pollution of air, surface water, soil, and groundwater, causing soil compaction, salinization, severe soil fertility, decline in fertility, increasing use of chemical fertilizers, and nutritional value of crops But it's getting lower and lower. But you people on the surface are chasing your immediate interests and self-realization, turning a blind eye to these naked numbers and no one pays attention to them. What kind of social responsibility is it?"

"These are far away from us, we usually save food, especially me, I can eat all the takeaways, and never a piece of meat can leave my mouth alive." PDD said confidently.

"As early as 2013, it has been estimated that the amount of food that Chinese people waste on the table is as high as 200 billion yuan a year, and the food that is dumped is equivalent to the food rations of more than 200 million people a year. A medium-sized city will waste a day. 64,000 kilograms of meals, 64,000 kilograms of meals can satisfy at least 60,000 people a day's rations. The annual waste of table food in the urban catering industry alone is 17 million to 18 million tons, which is equivalent to the amount of food consumed by 30 million to 50 million people a year. Your Chinese eating habits have a personal waste rate of 11.7% per meal, and a waste rate of 38% for large-scale dinner parties. 11.7% does not feel much? But it can't hold the huge base of more than one billion people. Think about it, chubby, You've finished the meat, but where did the staple vegetables you don't like at each meal go?" A question left PDD speechless, and for the first time in his life he felt guilty because of picky eaters.

"Your personal biggest problem is that you will not regard the food discarded by your partial eclipse and picky eaters as a waste of food. You will always think that food is renewable. You will never feel like overeating and eating more than the body itself. It's also a sin to need food to eat. Children who grow up from a wealthy life may never experience hunger." Princess Silk's words are like a knife's edge, and the words are stuck in the heart of PDD, making people who have never thought about this problem. PDD suddenly feels that wicked people have been doing wrong things, which cannot be accepted by PDD, who has always regarded himself as a green forest hero.

PDD was deeply touched, thinking for a long time and asked, "Princess Silk, why do we humans not pay attention to such a serious problem? How does your new Atlantis solve the problem of food security without waste."

"In your current human social system, all mainstream consciousness, values, and knowledge dissemination are mostly controlled by developed countries. Developed countries are those with vested interests in top-level food and will not speak out for food waste. Asian, African, and Latin American countries cannot speak to your ears. By the way. From a personal point of view, who are the people around you who like to overeating? Most of them are people who do not have high or low ideological level, and do not have requirements and restraint on themselves. In addition to the food needed by the body, there are extra Eating will only harm your health and cause a lot of food waste, only to get the satisfaction of appetite. Your civilization is ancient and modern, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Laozi, Confucius, Nietzsche, Marx or you The higher the spiritual level of the people around them, the less likely they are to gain life value by satisfying their appetites."

Princess Weizhi went on to say, "First of all, the productivity of our civilization is different in the production process. We do not have a single-layer planting area but only a three-dimensional multi-layer planting plant. The area is planted with high-density and high-yield organic crops, and AI controls the ratio of temperature, humidity, light, soil and fertilizer throughout the entire process. We don't raise meat and livestock, and all protein intake is by directly adding various artificial proteins, amino acids and other nutrients to food. The material meets the needs of the body, which saves a lot of land, feed, fresh water and carbon dioxide and methane emissions; secondly, your high-loss circulation and transportation links. Our food products factories are directly established in the planting factory base, and there is almost no circulation loss. All food It is processed into three categories: the first currency food, which accounts for 70% of the food, which is a multi-nutrient synthetic processed meal that all earth-centered people can receive for free. It is a bit like your surface hot dogs. One serving can satisfy normal people for a day. The second type of customized food accounts for 25% of the total. It is for professionals or patients or celestial masters above level 4 to consume points. Each serving is a food that has been specifically adjusted for nutritional ratios based on AI assessment of physical conditions, appearance and currency. There is no difference in food, but the nutrient ratio is specially adjusted according to the weight ratio and physical condition, so it is more targeted; the third type of food accounts for 5%, which is the fast food capsules that we go out or prepare for disasters, famines and wars. Capsule foods can be stored permanently as long as they don't touch water. In this way, the fast-food capsules distributed over the years are enough for our civilization to deal with all kinds of sudden famines and wars. This is what you just ate. Finally, it is the terminal consumption. The link is also the part where you have the most massive waste. We do not have the atmosphere of banquets and dinners. Our current civilization does not have the concept of restaurant canteens and kitchens. All food is directly based on the regional population by the food factory built in the production base. Manufactured and distributed, everyone does not have overeating and food waste, but they can get the healthiest nutrition. There is no such thing as a supermarket, restaurant or hotel that will discard expired food."

"But there is a lot less fun in life without food." PDD said a little unconvinced.

"Our closed-loop food system has the direct benefit of using only one-fifth of the resources you spend on surface cultivation and captive breeding to feed the more than 9 billion healthy people in the Earth's inner world with high quality. There will be more benefits. People don't need to spend their limited time and energy every day on buying vegetables, cooking, and washing dishes, saving a lot of social time costs. People can spare more time to do things they like, and there is no extravagance and waste like you. In the ignorant society of banquets and comparisons, the ethos of eating and drinking. When we know that human beings rely on banquets to compare face and status, it feels very ignorant and unbelievable. In New Atlantis, everyone is a standard healthy food. , And chronic diseases caused by unhealthy eating and drinking, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, ventilation, obesity, etc., are rare diseases for us. Compared with the health problems caused by your so-called diversified and backward eating habits, the social benefits of high national physical fitness are also Huge. You said that without food, there is no fun and less enjoyment. It just reflects the low-level understanding of food in your civilization level, and forgets what the essence of food is. Can you not realize the value of life without satisfying your appetite? Perhaps you have not experienced a major famine, it is difficult to realize that compared with just a few decades of adequate food and clothing, it is more important to have a long-lasting food and clothing than a few decades." Princess Silk, who rarely uses rhetorical questions, is obviously Seriously.

PDD was rarely asked to be speechless, and immediately changed the topic to ease the embarrassment of being defined as a low-cognition by higher civilization. "Princess Silk, you mentioned that there are more than 9 billion people in your underground world? Are your housing expensive? What kind of transportation is used for traveling? How to solve the problem of seeing a doctor? What is the employment rate?" The PDD reporter officially went online.

"Why there are so many problems suddenly with Fat Dudu today. Our underground civilization lives in what you call the mantle, and the height of the space is about 2,900 kilometers. Because of gravity, our land faces the crust. I don't know if you can understand it. .It's the same as your surface human beings who live on foot-to-foot direction. Although it may sound weird, the actual experience is no different from standing on your surface. Our "sun" is the hot and glowing core of the earth, just We have added a lampshade to the outer shell of this earth core to control brightness and obtain energy. You may understand this shade as a Dyson ball, but we only use the same principle as your Peltier (refrigeration sheet), but the material process and design are more Sophisticated, the core area is about 3800W square kilometers, a Peltier area is about 0.1 square kilometers equivalent to ten your football fields, a total of about 380 million pieces of this huge and efficient Peltier cover the core. Lived. From now on, we can freely adjust the transparency of Peltier to control the temperature of the day and night and the underground world. We can also obtain a lot of energy through the 3,800W square kilometer Pel patch inside and outside the temperature difference of 3,500 degrees to give our underground civilization. A steady stream of clean energy.

Our houses are made up of 3D printed modules. Each house is thousands of meters high. There is no concept of elevator, because every house has anti-gravity flying board to travel. No matter how high you live, go out. You can set off from the flying board on your balcony. The flying board can sense the center of gravity of the load and automatically adjust the flying posture, so you don't have to worry about falling off. Our houses are all allocated, and houses of different sizes and specifications are allocated according to our own point level or celestial master level, so we don't have to worry about housing all our lives. If you don't have high points and a genius level in your life, you can live with your parents or apply for a dormitory before you become an adult. You can apply for a single apartment after you become an adult, and you can apply for a family suite after you get married. No one in our civilization regards houses as assets. Housing is only a public resource, which will be redistributed to society after death.

　　Because the wristbands worn by everyone can be connected to the terminal to observe their physical condition at any time, coupled with the year-round extremely healthy diet ratio, and genetic disease screening technology, we actually have very few illnesses. Diseases are identified and judged by fully automatic quantum AI and operated directly by a fully intelligent robotic arm. Therefore, there is no doctor in our world, but only medical researchers. All medical experience cases in the world have been uploaded in the quantum AI database. However, the design of our queuing order for medical treatment or surgery is worthy of your reference, that is, those with high points can be ranked first, which proves that the greater the contribution to society, the more priority to enjoy medical resources; but more than 9 billion people will inevitably encounter those with the same points. priority? It is the priority to love sports. Under the condition of equal points, the wristband records that those who love sports all the year round and have exercise habits can have the priority of diagnosis and treatment, because the more exercise habit people have, the fewer opportunities to occupy medical resources, so this rule is passed. The design encourages everyone to exercise more and is recorded and saved by the bracelet. If you join the medical and social insurance system of your surface, those who participate in all-year exercise can queue up for medical treatment first, or the reimbursement ratio can be increased, and the proportion of medical insurance reimbursement for those who do not exercise all the year round will be reduced. , The allocation of medical resources will be more scientific and reasonable.

Because most of the labor work is replaced by smart machines, we have no employment rate. As long as the corresponding subjects are completed, everyone can be an entrepreneur and can publish projects corresponding to the major subject level. Projects at different levels are determined by Heavenly masters of different levels will review and announce the completion of the project and distribute points through the AI ​​data station. I explained this before in the military district conference room. Unlike your current funds that are allocated by the central bank or policies, every time we allocate and issue credits is directly used in scientific and technological innovation projects or public utilities. The efficiency of the economy is very high, and it may only take a few months. Time, we can achieve tremendous progress in a certain field. Because of the fairness and openness of the project and the distribution of points, the whole social atmosphere is open and transparent. There is no deceit and no need to flatter anyone. The cost of social communication and trust is low, thus forming a positive cycle of social atmosphere. You can see all the records about everyone from the Earth's inner world are very peaceful, optimistic and gentle. Because you don't need to consume any points for food, clothing, housing and transportation and there are no luxury goods, most of the points earned are used for various research and development in addition to redeeming basic daily necessities. Except for the level of points and respected celestial masters, our civilization has nothing else that can be used to compare and show off, so the word vanity does not exist in our world. Even in the face of high points and high-level celestial masters, we show more admiration and respect, just like the people you love, they are the brightest stars of our new Atlantis. "

Princess Silk Zhi said this, thought for a moment, and then glanced at Yu Yan: "Finally, I want to talk about marriage. In our earth-centered civilization, there is no concept of divorce. From birth, we grow up in the family and experience temperament life. Habits like height, weight, blood type, etc. will be recorded by the AI ​​data station, and then the two most suitable people will be retrieved for you, and you can choose one of the two. Different from the marriage platform you use now, there is a lot of blindness. We The marriage matching system is very accurate, and the matching logic is also the experience accumulated by AI for thousands of years in identifying successful couples. If you suddenly experience a major event that affects your worldview, personality or family living habits, you will also be affected by this marriage. The system immediately recognizes the records and uploads and re-matches them to the right person. Although it does not seem to be free love, it can really help us find the most suitable person out of more than 9 billion people. Compared with your so-called blind free love, It's much better to have a life-long marriage model that suffers various emotional damages or even regrets because of wrong love. Only a complete family can allow children to grow up healthily, and a healthy child is a civilized future. This marriage matching system is to use a scientific method to ensure that every A marriage is healthy and complete to ensure that our civilized future is physically and mentally healthy. Do you need to be chubby to match it?"

PDD was dumbfounded, and I felt that Princess Puzhi's description brought him into a peach blossom source with advanced technology and civilization. Suddenly, the PDD rumbling in his stomach summed up "It looks like you have no barbecue, everything else is beautiful." Come here, I'll treat you to a barbecue. It's good or not, you can talk about it after you finish it. If you temporarily put down your dietary values, it's a trial and error!"

　　 Half an hour later, the barbecue was delivered, grilled tendons, grilled meat, grilled tube tendons, grilled kidneys, grilled lamb chops... a large stall was laid out, shiny and scented.

Princess 　　帛芝 looked at her and shook her head, expressing rejection, but Li Zhifeng boldly picked up a bunch of roasted kidneys, "I have only heard of the diet of humans on the surface before, but now it's all here...hehe"

　　 Take a sip, oil pours from the corner of Li Zhifeng's mouth, "Oh, it's so fragrant!"
