"Unfortunately, I undergo a mental stress assessment every year. So far, my mental state has been pretty good." Qiu Ming shrugged.
"So, they're actually clones, not real humans, right?" E-Goat looked at the group of calm applicants in front of him, as if he wanted to grab hold of the last straw. He couldn't wait to ask.
"I don't think you need to worry about what kind of production method you came into this world because there's no difference between clones and ordinary people," Qiu Ming said. "Some time ago, the fertility rate of human society continued to decline, causing concern from all sides. As a last resort, the federal government joined forces with several pharmaceutical giant companies to launch an artificial reproduction program. They decided to use machines to simulate human wombs to breed and raise babies, thereby increasing the population. You're actually right. Whether it's a natural birth or a new human incubated by a machine, there's no difference in their bodies and genes. Therefore, from the very beginning, the federal legislation gave these two types of people the same political and survival rights."
"Are you kidding me? Then why is the treatment of clones and ordinary people in New Shanghai 0297 completely different?" E-Goat asked.
"Don't you understand yet?" Qiu Ming sighed. "In New Shanghai 0297, the so-called clones are still ordinary people. You just have to think of them as different professions. They're artificially divided by us to meet different labor needs, but there's no difference in the nature of the people who engage in these two professions. Let's put it this way, have you ever bought luxury goods?"
"What do you mean?"
"The price of a luxury shirt is very different from the price of an ordinary shirt, but there's actually no difference in the material used. It's just that one of them is printed with the logo of a luxury company. The clones of New Shanghai 0297 are the same as ordinary people. Whether it's the locator or the code on the back of the neck, it's just a logo to make the people who live here believe that their value is different. It's that simple."
"Then, only clones will have their memories rewritten. Is this also a lie?"
"It was like that at the beginning." Qiu Ming nodded and said, "Clones, or new humans hatched by machines, are raised by the Federation. Experts have always expressed concern about this because these people's living environments are too similar since they were young, and they are raised in a centralized manner. They are worried that they will grow up to be too similar because of this kind of social behavior.
The first batch of Homo Evolutis were the same as normal humans. They received all kinds of education from a young age, but they lived together and separated from their families. Other than the overly similar problems mentioned earlier, there were also personality flaws brought about by the lack of a family. Furthermore, the training period was very long, and the investment in education was also very large. Furthermore, it was the taxpayer's money that was used. It didn't take long for protests from the public, and the Federation's finances were also starting to crumble.
"At this time, some large groups like Shengtang Morgan proposed that they were willing to set up a special fund to support the artificial reproduction program. This way, the federal government would not need to invest any more public funds, and the population problem could be solved. The two sides hit it off and everyone was happy. Not long after, these large groups came up with a new training plan.
"Memory coding?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"That's right. This technology was successfully developed under such a background. In the beginning, it was to solve the problem of the new humans incubated by machines becoming too similar because they lived in the same environment for a long time. At the same time, the first mate reduced the investment in education. Memory coding can give new humans different personalities and memories, making them just like ordinary people and not affected by similar growth backgrounds.
"Then, those groups thought that since they've done this, they might as well go one step further and write their skills as well. That way, when they leave the cultivation base and enter society, they'll be able to get a better job."
"And the result?" E-Goat asked.
"The result was, of course, a great success," Qiu Ming said. "At least at the beginning. The artificial reproduction program was sponsored by these large corporate groups. They knew their labor needs very well, so of course, they knew what skills to write for the new humans incubated by machines, especially some high-end skills. There had always been a shortage of them in the talent market. Everyone was snatching people from each other, but they still couldn't meet the labor demand.
"However, after the invention of memory coding technology, this problem no longer exists. Other than some special professions that rely heavily on inspiration and talent, pure technical talents can be mass-produced. Moreover, the new humans hatched by machines are also humans, so of course, there will be some very talented and inspirational people among them. In addition, their grasp of basic knowledge will be firmer, and their development will also be faster.
"Soon, the management or technical backbones of many companies in the market were occupied by these new humans. Moreover, many of them had better personalities and were more obedient. They were even willing to work overtime. Of course, the boss knew how to choose. By the time ordinary people reacted, they found that their little leaders or immediate superiors had already become new humans."
Qiu Ming paused. "But on the other hand, the emergence of these new humans has indeed accelerated the development of the economy and technology, allowing human society to become unprecedentedly prosperous. This is a period of abundant talent reserves that has never been seen before in any historical period. Although many ordinary people in society had already begun to protest, feeling that high-end employment opportunities were being squeezed out and that it was becoming more and more difficult to be promoted. However, in the face of rapid economic growth, these protests and objections became pale and powerless.
"From the perspective of the Federation, it's impossible for them to reverse history and stop the artificial reproduction program, allowing humans to go back from this golden age that's rarely seen in a thousand years to an inefficient and backward primitive era. Backward productivity will inevitably be replaced by advanced productivity, just like the wave of unemployment caused by the emergence of machines. This is a social consensus in itself.
"Humans have experienced three industrial revolutions before, and this is the fourth industrial revolution. More and more voices shouted like this. At the same time, they criticized those who protested. They felt that they were just maggots with envious eyes. They were unwilling to learn and hone their skills to become better. Instead, they were jealous of others. This was simply the rage of the incompetent. In addition, the Federation has been sparing no effort to promote the equal coexistence of new humans and ordinary people. The voices of opposition have also become much smaller, and the entire human society has begun to respect memory coding technology more and more. "
