I am reborn as Sai, but the animation three-body

Chapter 183 New Era

In the next few years, Say did not hibernate immediately, but guided the academic research society he proposed, and showed it in reality bit by bit.

The academic atmosphere of human civilization gradually became stronger, colleges and universities and knowledge bases began to be built, and at the same time, the well-being that was originally perfect began to gradually cover everyone.

With their excellent memory and strong physical strength, it is not difficult for new humans to take four or five doctoral degrees, so people's academic qualifications began to gradually increase.

Although giants like Einstein are still rare in this era, theoretically everyone is capable of scientific research and higher education.

At the same time, along with the more and more developed welfare, the currency that has been with human beings for a long time has gradually been eliminated, and the wealth and degrees created for human civilization have gradually become the means of proving social status in the new era.

However, the most important breakthrough is the birth of a super artificial intelligence named "Xiaoxi". With today's developed Internet of Things, "Xiaoxi" can be said to be everywhere.

Its main body is thousands of supercomputing centers distributed all over the solar system, and hundreds of millions of computers and electronic devices in the Internet of Things.

And "Xiaoxi" is responsible for coordinating the economic activity data of the entire human society, and then collecting and processing the huge and cumbersome data.

At the same time, it is also responsible for operating the social contribution system, which is a set of software established by humans one year after the completion of the "Xiaoxi" system to supervise the work of all people.

The function of the social contribution system is not complicated. It will record every human being's contribution or damage to society, and then "Xiaoxi" will give or deduct contribution points.

People who contribute more points can get more benefits from the degree, and vice versa.

For example, if a person spends his whole life in school and does not participate in any social activities such as work, then people with the same number of degrees as him will receive more benefits than him.

And if the contribution points are negative, they will have to accept a short-term forced labor to restore the contribution points to zero.

However, it is quite difficult to make the contribution points negative, because the contribution points will be deducted only for crimes or the loss of a large amount of wealth to civilization, and most people will contribute more or less.

A normal person's contribution points were deducted all at once, it is estimated that it is possible to deter failure like Cheng Xin did in the original book.

On the contrary, there are many ways to make contributions, not just sticking to work or charity, making reasonable suggestions for infrastructure projects at home, or inventing some useless handicrafts can also be counted as contributions.

But because the social contribution system has just been released, it naturally has a lot of flaws and deficiencies, and many people, especially the AD people, like to take advantage of loopholes.

Therefore, the two major political bodies in the world have set up a large number of opinion collection websites. This kind of website is open to all human beings, including children. As long as the suggestions put forward are adopted, they can get contribution points.

Therefore, through brainstorming, the two internationals are improving the social contribution system every day, and this system seems to be a growing creature.

However, although "Xiaoxi" is the core of an academic research-oriented society and is responsible for operating the social contribution system and economic data statistics system, it is naturally not a strong artificial intelligence with thinking ability.

Not to mention the backward technology of human beings, even Trisolarans, who are technologically prosperous, are still unable to create strong artificial intelligence.

Of course, "Xiaoxi" is not the whole of the new planned economic system. In fact, as an artificial intelligence, it is only responsible for the rigid statistical work.

Those who are really responsible for making decisions and regulating are the grass-roots officials numbering over [-] million, a large number of think tank groups, and the decision-making levels of major political bodies.

They will use the information collected by "Xiaoxi" and suggestions from the people to regulate the economy at the macro level.

From a certain point of view, the existence of "Xiaoxi" also makes human civilization more united and unified, because "Xiaoxi" does not belong to any political body, but a super artificial intelligence system shared by all mankind.

In fact, this modern economic system was not invented by Say, or any new human beings, but the "participatory economy" proposed by Albert and Hannel during the new Cold War period.

Of course, the people who are in charge of perfecting and modifying are the new humans and Say, who combined the advantages of the market economy and the planned economy to establish a new economic system.

In the following years, the development of the new planned economic system and the academic research-oriented society centered on "Xiaoxi" began to get on the right track, and it was no longer full of loopholes like in previous years.

Therefore, various countries began to speed up the speed of reform, and gradually popularized Xiaoxi and the academic research society, and informed Trisolarans of these changes through the Voice of Earth Civilization.

This has also made many old human beings in various aspects gradually unable to adapt to the new society. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, they cannot adapt to this new era where there is no currency, referendums and frequent referendums.

On the other hand, the old humans do not have the excellent memory of the new humans, and they are not used to installing too many bionic organs, so they cannot take so many degrees in full-time universities for a long time.

Therefore, in an academic and research-oriented society, they are often at the bottom, and can only obtain the basic social welfare guarantees that every citizen is entitled to.

Although this era is extremely rich in materials, and the so-called basic social welfare security is no less than the ordinary upper class in the AD era, many old humans cannot adapt to this new era spiritually.

Therefore, many old humans who have survived hibernation to the present began to leave the city to establish autonomous regions. Anyway, even if they do not work, the basic social welfare security provided by the government is enough for these people to eat and drink.

What's more, the old humans still have some skills that the new humans can't do, and that is to find a piece of arable land in the wild to farm.

This is not because the new humans are lazier than the old humans. On the contrary, after the genes are edited, the new humans can work continuously for [-] to [-] hours without pressure, which is much more efficient than the old humans.

However, due to the popularization of artificial intelligence technology and gene editing, the physical fitness of new humans has changed a lot.

To be precise, the new humans are suitable for mental work, not highly repetitive physical work, so they naturally don't know how to farm.

This also gives old humans a chance, because in this era when everyone relies on bionic organs to digest genetically modified grass, organic agricultural products are a luxury in the non-welfare system.

And as the size of the autonomous region of the old humans grew larger, the new humans and the old humans gradually began to be distinguished, and the old humans gradually got a unified title, that is, the AD people.

Although most of the modern old humans are people from the early crisis era rather than AD people, everyone is still used to calling them that, because AD symbolizes the previous era.
