Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2137 Inheritance and Purchasing Dao Marks

After the success of the first experiment, several clinical trials were launched one after another. In addition, attempts to transfer Dao scars across species are also ongoing.

At the same time, there are still a large number of deaths in the Shanhe Republic, which is an unchangeable fact. People who live will inevitably die one day, even if they can be transformed into zombies, their bodies will be damaged one day, even if the body does not decay. Will cannot be supported forever.

Even Lan Nuo himself believed that his will was not eternal and would disappear sooner or later. Absolute eternity did not exist. The so-called absolute eternity was only a concept that existed in a certain universe or a certain multiverse. Or it was a concept that could only appear under the restriction of a larger system. When the entire system collapsed, the so-called infinite eternity would come to an end.

He himself will die one day, not to mention all living beings. Although the population of Shanhe Republic is increasing overall, there will still be a large number of deaths. Among them, those who die due to physical aging are actually a minority at present. Most of them die because their spirits are too old to sustain and eventually their minds become silent, commonly known as being tired of living.

This is caused by the existence of the virtual world. The existence of the virtual world makes most people spend a large amount of their life time in the virtual world, and the length of their life is much longer than the length of their own lifespan.

However, not everyone can endure immortality. The fragile human mind may think that a mere hundred years of life is too short, but if one could live for thousands or even millions of years, this fragile mind would very likely completely forget the meaning of life. One day, people would no longer be interested in wealth, glory, and physical enjoyment. The only thing that can constantly stimulate people's desires is the desire for knowledge, but not everyone's desire for knowledge can sustain their enthusiasm.

Over time, there will always be a group of people whose thinking becomes gradually dull and rigid, and eventually they fall into mental disorder. Before the body collapses, the mind is already dead.

In order to accommodate these people, the Shanhe Republic had to build a large number of mental hospitals to restrain these people. Some of them are similar to cyberpsychosis. In the early days, they were basically diagnosed on the Internet. Usually, their personalities become irritable and they become tired of most things. Occasionally, some individuals will excessively pursue sensory stimulation. But after a short experience of sensory stimulation, they soon become bored with these stimulations. Basically, most people have been marked by the Internet when they develop to this stage, and have been diagnosed with serious mental illnesses.

These people will be temporarily forced to quit the Internet and sent to relevant medical institutions for treatment, but usually the patients will not cooperate with the treatment, the treatment effect is very poor, and there are very few cases of complete cure.

During the period when patients remain sane, most of them can analyze their situation calmly and rationally. According to many patients' self-reports, they can no longer find the meaning of life. Their long lives have allowed them to experience what most modern people can experience. Perhaps in the future there will be more and more exciting things born in this world, but they are tired. Their brains can still continue to learn new things, but their minds are unwilling to do so.

It is similar to many elderly people who are clear-minded. They can clearly see the convenience of modern devices such as smartphones in life and understand why young people are addicted to these electronic devices, but they will not take the initiative to learn. Usually when asked, they will say that they are too old to learn these.

But this is not the case. Most elderly people have the learning ability to accept these new things, but their bodies and minds are tired of them.

The patients admitted to the mental hospital were all in similar situations. Some changes in the brain and body were difficult to handle even with the current medical conditions of the Shanhe Republic, and there was no way to completely figure out where the problem was.

Most patients eventually choose to hibernate while they are still sane. Hibernation does not mean freezing a person completely. Vertebrates have the gene for hibernation, but some animals activate this gene, while others do not.

Theoretically, as long as the first-order gene lock is unlocked, everyone can master how to hibernate. And through technical means, these genes can also be expressed, so that humans can enter the hibernation of animals like brown bears, reducing the efficiency of physiological activities and metabolism to 1/10 of the normal level or even lower. At the same time, with a relatively low temperature environment, this can greatly extend the life of an individual while maintaining the physiological activity of the human body.

Some are similar to the immortal tombs in heaven, which seal up the powerful men of heaven throughout the ages, making their bodies fall into a state of stillness in time, and they will be awakened when a crisis occurs in heaven in the future.

It’s just that the methods used by the Shanhe Republic are cheaper, although the effect is slightly worse.

However, hibernation technology also has problems. After entering the hibernation state, many patients' thinking gradually becomes slow, and the success rate of attempts to wake them up after a period of time is only about 30%. Even those who are successfully awakened have lost a lot of memory.

This only happens to patients who hibernate. For healthy people who hibernate, the damage to their memory and personality is minimal and can be basically ignored.

However, even though they know that they may die completely after hibernation, there are still a large number of patients who choose to hibernate, waiting for future technological advances to solve their own problems, or to end their lives in a peaceful and painless way.

Lan Nuo could understand the principle behind this. After all, his mind had been through a longer period of time than anyone else, so he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to persevere through such a long period of time. If it weren't for the repeated hardships, if it weren't for the support and encouragement from those around him, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. Most people don't have such luck. Thousands of years in the spiritual world might be enough to make their minds extinguished.

Everyone will die one day, so although Shanhe Republic is actively trying to treat related diseases, it will also respect the patient's personal choice.

At present, there are actually a large number of dead people whose consciousness has completely disappeared, but their bodies still remain in this world. These bodies are not suitable for possession, but the rich Dao marks on their bodies make the Republic reluctant to burn these bodies directly. As a result, a large number of bodies have never been cremated. Now it seems that this decision was actually made right. Some of these people have very regular Dao marks on their bodies. When they were alive, it was like they were carefully managing their game accounts. When managing their own bodies, many times, the slightest Dao mark has to be condensed and erased many times. Make sure he is in the most perfect position.

But now that their consciousness has dissipated, these Dao marks that embody their life's hard work are absolutely precious items even in the Shanhe Republic.

If I have to make an analogy, this is like a max-level boss who has abandoned his account and is ready to sell it to a newbie. Even if this is not a krypton gold boss, the game he has spent his whole life running must be worth a lot of money, and the game actually has no effect on reality. Even if he has thousands of troops in the game, he can't deal with even a fly on the screen.

But the impact of the Dao marks on the body is real. For a newbie to get this set of divine equipment is basically equivalent to getting a full-level account. He can also make some modifications on this full-level account to further improve this already perfect high-level account.

After the relevant clinical trials were reviewed by the Ethics Committee, they were soon in full swing. Many young people or naturalized citizens who had just joined the Shanhe Republic were eager to sign up to participate. Although the Dao marks on these bodies were constructed in less than 10 years in the real world, they were simulated and tempered in the virtual world again and again. Only after they were sure that they were proficient in this step and would not make mistakes would they actually try it in the real world. Therefore, the time spent on it could be as short as a few hundred years of subjective time, or as long as thousands of years or even longer.

It is still in the clinical trial stage. Signing up as a volunteer means being the first person to try it out, which is considered a contribution. When the technology is mature, it will be like everyone knows that crabs are delicious. Eating crabs at this time is like enjoying it. Not only will you not get any money, but you may have to pay a very high price to get a set of excellent Dao Marks for yourself.

However, this has injected a wave of fresh blood into the domestic economy of Shanhe Republic.

Although Daohen is defined as public, the right to use it can be traded. This is the result of the discussion of the entire national congress. It is unrealistic to completely publicize Daohen. When formulating the system, human nature must also be considered. It is like a big pot meal, which will lead to everyone being lazy. The donkey in the production team will be used desperately without asking for money.

If Dao Marks do not belong to individuals at all, then people will not maintain them so carefully and use them roughly. This thing cannot be solved by ideological education. Subconsciously, everyone has an idea that things that do not belong to me do not need to be cherished. Lan Nuo will not pin the development of society on the moral level of individuals or even the whole nation.

Therefore, the public ownership of Dao Marks is more like macroeconomic regulation. The state has no right to deprive individuals of their Dao Marks in non-emergency situations. In other words, in the absence of wars or disasters that affect the survival of the entire civilization, whether these Dao Marks are cultivated by themselves, bought, or legally inherited from their elders, the right to use these Dao Marks belongs to them and cannot be deprived.

But if you buy Dao Marks, there are requirements for their use. First of all, the right to use Dao Marks is very expensive, and it is basically impossible to buy them all at once. The price of a set of top-level fifth-turn peak Dao Marks is basically enough to bankrupt an ordinary person. Even if you bankrupt yourself, you can only buy the right to use it for the period of time you are alive.

However, there is a way to offset the purchase price after purchasing Dao Hen, and the way to offset it is to further improve Dao Hen. As for the degree of improvement and the ratio of the offset rent, it depends on the market. After a period of adjustment in the market, the appropriate price will naturally be adjusted.

According to the current system, people who inherit Dao Marks need to go to relevant institutions for a full-body physical examination every month within a limited time period to check their use and maintenance of the Dao Marks on their bodies and to check if they have any serious physical injuries.

If this set of Dao Traces is seriously damaged, and is not properly maintained during use, and not only is it not upgraded, but it also deteriorates, then the set of Dao Traces will be reclaimed by the state, and the user will also face a very painful fine. If the entire set of Dao Traces is upgraded, then the rent can be greatly deducted.

Of course, citizens can also choose to have a set of Dao Marks of their own. If the Dao Marks are completely cultivated by themselves, then even if there is a regression in the monthly inspections, the Shanhe Republic has no right to interfere. Only those who inherit the Dao Marks or purchase the Dao Marks must abide by this set of rules.

As for the relevant rules of inheritance, they are different from those of purchase. The heirs also need to pay a certain amount of rent, but the discount is much greater than that of direct purchase. This is also a compromise that must be made to reality. After all, blood ties and close relationships between people cannot be ignored.

The top leaders of the Shanhe Republic were not worried that after the launch of this system, people might be opposed to buying it. According to their prediction, the market would be very hot. Even though the Dao Marks purchased would be subject to various restrictions and could not be used indiscriminately, and if they were damaged, they would have to pay a lot of money, there would definitely still be a large number of people rushing to buy them.

The principle is simple. If you buy a set of top-level Dao Marks, you can work in a position that makes more money the next day, or take up your ideal position. You can accumulate money bit by bit, and you will reach that step sooner or later, but that may be a few years or even a dozen years later.

Besides, the Dao Marks that one cultivates will not disappear. If one can transfer the Dao Marks of others to oneself, then why can't one's own be transferred to a clone who doesn't cultivate a brain? Even if the Dao Marks that one rents are confiscated due to some mistakes in the future, the worst that can happen is that one can change back to the one that one had before. With the advancement of technology, sooner or later, the replacement of Dao Marks will be as convenient as changing clothes.
