St. Petersburg International Airport.

In the waiting hall waiting for take-off, Krugman and Albert Professor, who looked at the suitcase, looked quite tired.

It’s been a week since the conclusion of the International Mathematics Home Conference.

After the closing ceremony, the two did not leave St. Petersburg immediately.

Here after all is the famous “mathematics city” in Eastern Europe, such as the world-class mathematics research institute of the Szczów mathematics research institute, which is located here.

While visiting these mathematics research institutes and conducting lectures to find like-minded and capable Scholars, the two also tried a few times, trying to get Perelman out of the mountain to help them and complete that great idea.

However, it is frustrating that after the last 60 minute report of the IMU conference ended, Perelman entered a strange state.

If he would patiently answer the two questions before then, then now he is too lazy to open the door to two people.

The time of the holiday has been exhausted, and the two people who work on their own are not likely to stay here endlessly.

Therefore, after meeting a few people in St. Petersburg, after discussing it, I finally decided to go back to the United States and do the next step.

If it is not possible, properly relax the threshold of the collaborators, at least let the subject get on the right track, and wait until the results are made before recruiting new partners.

“…unfortunately, the Foundation Professor is going too early. I feel that he is actually a bit interested in our plan.” Looking at the waiting hall, Krugman Professor suddenly said with emotion, “If there is no It would be nice to have that kind of accident. We are working hard and boasting about it. Maybe he will agree.”

“Yeah… I think so too,” Albert said, also sighed, raising his hand and looking at the time on his watch. He stood up from the chair. “My flight seems to be there… then I will take a step.” It is.”

” Take care, contact by mail.”

“Ah.”

Stanford University is on the west coast of North America, where Albert is the guest scientist at the Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB). And Krugman’s Princeton is on the East Coast, and California is in a few time zones.

After the old friend left, Krugman picked up a newspaper from the side, spread it on his knees, and turned it over.

However, at the first sight of the headline, he was stunned.

“…freezing dormancy?”

Changed a newspaper…

The title of the headline is the same!

When I got here, Krugman’s expression finally began to become intriguing.

Lifting his index finger and pushing his glasses, he carefully read the headline of the newspaper in his hand, the shock and incredulity in his eyes became more and more obvious, and finally couldn’t help but whisper.

“This… this is too crazy.”

Freeze sleep!

Go to the future for treatment!

This is probably the craziest thing he has heard this year!

Before that, he was faintly heard that Lu Zhou would transfer Miss Puyue to the Chinese country, but he did not expect that he actually held this idea.

but……

Compared with the current situation of Miss Puyue, what he cares about is the frozen dormancy technology itself.

This reminds him of thesis he wrote about interstellar trade theory a long time ago. In thesis he just mentioned that all capital activities are based on the time dimension.

If human beings can “walk upright” on a time scale, the existing financial order will be hit by unprecedented impact, and people will be more inclined to hold long-term and stable income assets, and will no longer tend to invest in high-risk and high-return Especially in the high-tech industry where the decade is a generation, because time will no longer be an expensive cost, the value of waiting will not be worth mentioning…

For example, if you save 10,000 US dollars to the money fund, as long as the annual rate of return can guarantee 4 points, according to compound interest, after 50 years, the light interest is more than 60,000 US dollars, and the principal plus 70,000!

Equivalent to seven times!

If you put the number of the principal in 1st year a hundred times, you will be allowed to extend the time for 50 years…

“This stuff is simply a financial bomb…” Turned the newspaper in his hand, Krugman whispered, “The performance of Nasdaq and the global bond market will be very good tomorrow.” wonderful……”

Maybe not just finance…

Its formidable power can no longer be measured by money alone.

Equality between people is based on aging, whether it is rich or poor, civilians are still aristocrats and nobles, and ultimately can not escape.

However, the freeze dormancy technology undoubtedly broke this balance.

Now, the power of life may still be equal. At least the power that people have won since the French Revolution/Life has not been subverted, but the power to die is already unequal…

If you can live decently in the future Utopia, who wants to head and face filthy with grime to stay in the current building Utopia?

Part of the lucky one will embark on the first step of eternal life, no matter how far away from the Level 2 step, the inequality of death will begin to emerge in the human civilization that has developed into this stage.

This seemingly dull technology is actually more influential than the controllable fusion to the whole society. It is no exaggeration to say that it will even completely change the face of human civilization.

From a sociological point of view, it is not a steam engine, nor an internal combustion engine or a power turbine, but a printing operation!

Its birth is paving the way for a major event that will be far more influential and more forformable power than the Enlightenment and the French Revolution/Life. Until the civilization of this technology is “new equality” “Achieving a balance based on compromise and tolerance will stop.”

And this process will be difficult and full of danger.

Of course, he also admits that this kind of thinking may be too one-sided. The more affluent people are, the more careful they are to balance the balance between risk and return.

Thinking from the other side of the logic, taking the risk of waking up to the uncertain future to enjoy uncertain powers and assets, is far better than living in the current life of Peak.

After all, even if you look at the excellence of 19 century merchants in the 21 century, I am afraid that he will be confused by the dazzling array of financial products and global trade rules under the new order.

After all, in the days of his livelihood, a profitable business was colonial plunder and industrial dumping, but now it is popular to rob a country’s national treasury with only one shot.

Only those who can’t afford to buy tickets for the future will come up with an idea of ​​going back and going to the new World to find opportunities.

At the same time, considering survival is the first requirement of biology. Even if the technology is not taken out today, someone will open this Pandora’s box one day in the future.

I have to say that this is a very interesting topic.

Even interesting enough, he was able to temporarily put down the great and challenging subject he was working on.

Thinking of this, Krugman Professor unconsciously held his breath, holding the newspaper’s index finger and thumb constantly rubbing.

He only wants to do one thing now.

That is to go back to your office immediately, clarify the things that you think of at the moment, then sort them out and write them on thesis…

If you don’t do well, he can have another title in his lifetime.

such as……

The father of the new Enlightenment?

It’s really exciting to think about it.
