I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 142: Strong Opposition to the Completion Plan

"Dr. Tu Hengyu, please explain your plan in detail."

"Ok."

In the conference room, Tu Hengyu stood up, looked around at everyone, and said calmly: "Dear judges, since I am responsible for maintaining Mars City's AI system, I am more familiar with the information stored in Mars City's database."

"The travelers left a large amount of scientific and technological information in the Martian database, as well as many records about the history of different civilizations."

"I saw a civilization called Capcom in it, and they encountered a similar labor shortage dilemma as us."

"That civilization encountered a biochemical crisis, and in the end, only less than 80 people were left out of a population of 1 billion. However, they adopted many radical measures to restore the population and productivity. In just 50 years, the population of the civilization was restored to billion, and it entered the era of interstellar civilization from an inner-earth civilization."

"I got inspiration from it. I was thinking, in extraordinary times, we need to act in extraordinary ways. Can Earth civilization break the old rules and take some extraordinary measures to quickly improve the productivity of civilization?"

"I asked the Mars City AI to make a rough estimate. If the original productivity of the Earth is 1, then the productivity required to complete the Sky Repair Project is at least 1."

"Even if we obtain the technology in Mars City and mobilize the world, Earth's productivity will only increase from 1 to 100, which is still a huge gap from 1."

"Everyone present here should have seen my information. My previous research direction was digital life architecture. In fact, we have made a key breakthrough in the digital life plan, and there are no technical obstacles to its application."

"The reason why the Digital Life Plan was not adopted is that I think the coalition government was mainly worried that everyone would run into the virtual world to escape reality and evade responsibility, which would greatly weaken the unity and strength of the real world, so they banned it."

"But in fact, this problem can be completely avoided through legislation and technical means."

"Who says hiding in the virtual world means you don't have to work? The virtual world is not a lawless place. Every citizen should fulfill their obligations and contribute to the continuation of Earth civilization. Those who refuse to serve Earth civilization should be punished by legal means!"

"We have many ways to allow digital humans in the virtual world to continue to fulfill their obligations in the real world: provide them with robotic bodies and let them remotely control machine labor. Without the need to consume food and water, tireless digital humans can even work better and do more than flesh and blood. They are more efficient than real humans and more reliable than artificial intelligence, perfectly integrating the advantages of humans and machines."

Tu Hengyu's remarks caused a storm in the judges' hearts.

Some of his views are considered too radical by the public. According to traditional ethics, they are simply treasonous, anti-human and unhumanitarian.

However, the decision-makers of the coalition government have different views on this.

After Tu Hengyu's complete plan of [Digital Multiplication Plan] was placed in front of the bigwigs, it triggered more extensive thinking among them.

"I think this plan is very good. In the face of danger, we should not stick to the rules of the past!"

The US representative said that in fact, most American people have always been supporters of the Digital Life Plan.

The Russian representative said: "Not only this, I think we can also consider cyber transformation plans, cloning plans and so on."

The French representative complained: "I suggest implementing the ideological stamp plan. I've had enough of those unruly people! They don't work every day and just go on strike!"

"I agree. This way, the non-Latin Americans can no longer use lack of knowledge as an excuse to evade their obligations."

Zhou Zhezhi thought about it and said seriously: "We suggest conducting a collective discussion and widely soliciting plans from various departments of the Academy of Sciences around the world, and then study and vote together at the joint government collective meeting."

"agree!"

"Seconded!"

Soon, a call for submissions was issued to solicit opinions from all parties on the topic of "improving the productivity of the earth" from scientific academies and research institutions around the world.

Hundreds of opinions were collected at once, some conservative, some radical, and some even anti-human.

A month later, after detailed discussion by the scientific advisory team and multiple discussions and votes at the joint government collective meeting, more than a dozen feasible plans that were in line with the actual situation on Earth were selected.

These plans are integrated together and collectively referred to as the Earth Productivity Completion Plan.

Among them is the Digital Proliferation Plan first proposed by Tu Hengyu, which is to selectively open up digital life to transform the old, weak, sick and disabled into available labor.

In addition, it also includes [Knowledge Enhancement Plan], [Cyber ​​Transformation Plan], [Global Citizen Voluntary Labor Act], [Digital Labor Act] and other contents.

【Knowledge Enhancement Plan】, using knowledge infusion technology to mass-produce technical talents, can transform illiterate and low-educated personnel into high-quality talents in a short period of time. In fact, it can also subtly change some people's minds and reverse their rejection of the coalition government's sky-patching plan. After all, the three views are largely related to knowledge and vision.

[Cyber ​​Transformation Plan] uses the implantation of electronic chips, artificial organs, and artificial prostheses to restore the labor force of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and can greatly improve the individual labor force.

The Global Citizens’ Compulsory Labor Act stipulates that all citizens over the age of 12 are obliged to participate in the Sky Repair Project and work to continue Earth civilization. Citizens aged 12 to 16 can perform labor in a part-time work-study mode, and those aged 16 and above can serve full-time.

The Digital Labor Act stipulates that citizens who are unable to perform labor due to physical defects or illness can fulfill their labor obligations through the Digital Proliferation Plan and Cyber ​​Transformation Plan. Even if you are in your eighties or nineties and cannot work, you can still contribute your labor by providing digital life backup.

Once this series of regulations and policies were announced, they immediately aroused widespread opposition and protests around the world.

"Fuck the law! I have the final say over my brain, and no one can tamper with it!"

"The coalition government is trying to enslave and control us ideologically!"

"Oppose dictatorship and tyranny!"

“We want freedom!”

The [Labor Force Completion Plan] had just been announced and had not yet been enforced, but there were voices of opposition from all over the world.

Although the number of opponents only accounts for one-third of the world's population, the momentum created by this one-third, more than 20 billion people, is as chaotic as a world war.

But this time the opposition encountered completely different circumstances.

It was no longer like before, with a brainless artificial idiot supporting it from behind. Instead, there was a hostile existence that mortals could not contend with.
