Volume 3 Big Scene Chapter 42 Ethics

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the French scientist responsible for a similar project committed suicide last year, the company's management stepped up monitoring of the eugenics and eugenics project team, fearing that additional trouble would come to their doorstep.  The company's confidentiality is relatively good, but it cannot be maintained for a long time. No secret can never be leaked unless the project is stopped and the relevant people are cleaned up.

    United Technologies currently has nearly four million employees. Li Zhuang is timid and never goes out, not even with Lisa.  It is naturally impossible for others not to go out. There are many employees in the company who like to travel. Although the intricate internal relationships can ensure safety to the greatest extent, the side effects are obvious. There is no perfect system.

    The news brought by Zhou Qisen made Li Zhuang relieved. The company was only one of the defendants. Dozens of organizations around the world studying this ethics-impacting project were sitting in the dock of the International Court of Justice at the same time.

    "Haha, I thought only national treasures were keen on this," Li Zhuang said with a smile.

    "This is a topic that has been around for a long time. Domestic research in this area is not bad. When I was studying in the UK, I heard similar news," Zhou Qisen said.

    "Really? By the way, how is the company's capital flow now? I heard from Wang Mei that Chinese employees have withdrawn a lot of dividends recently."

    "It's still within the acceptable range. The net outflow is about 50 billion U.S. dollars, all to China. There are floods every year. The previous group of people don't know what they are doing," Zhou Qisen was very angry.

    ¡°Haha, some people must think you are patriotic, that¡¯s how the Beijing government promotes it,¡± Li Zhuang thought of the recent online articles and found it quite funny.

    "Secretly changing concepts is a common tactic used by politicians. In the past six months, Chinese people around the world have donated more than 300 billion U.S. dollars in money and materials, but their nationality is not Chinese. They just love their roots deeply. To be precise, they love the nation.  It has nothing to do with the ruler. As long as there is a natural disaster in the country, many overseas Chinese have not donated money, and many people are still enemies of the capital. Is it possible for the capital to stabilize so quickly without these Chinese who care about their hometown? What Citigroup has promised  It¡¯s being delayed!¡±

    After sending away the nagging Zhou Qisen, Li Zhuang fell into deep thought. Like Zhang Kai, this guy was a staunch supporter of Chinese culture in the company.  The reason why Zhang Kai desperately recruits people from the mainland is to maintain the status of the Chinese ethnic group in the increasingly large group of United Technologies Corporation.  As long as China's high-level technical talents are involved in political struggles and cannot be incorporated in the country, they will generally choose to immigrate. The main destination is Sunway City, a place where Chinese people can move freely.

    ??The Chinese ethnic group in the traditional sense only includes the Han ethnic group and a dozen other ethnic groups with similar blood relatives. They are the main body in the country.  Other ethnic groups are either more distant by blood, or their main ethnic group is abroad, or they are simply foreigners. They have their own nation-states outside of China, such as Koreans, Russians, Kazakhs, etc.  The complex relationship between blood and culture is a topic that can never be escaped, and no amount of political propaganda can change its tenacious existence.

    Different countries established by the same ethnic group have existed for a long time, such as Germany, Austria, North and South Korea, etc. There are currently three political entities dominated by Chinese.

    The so-called patriotism is just a product of smearing. It was developed based on the concept of nation-state. Its essence is politicized nationalism and national centripetal force.  "Chinese nation" is a political concept that cannot be justified. A naturally occurring single nation will not have two skin colors.  Patriotism and love for the nation are two completely different things. It was only the "Party-state" promoted during the Republic of China and later that caused many people to have cognitive confusion.

    During the Anti-Japanese War, so many overseas Chinese donated money and materials. Could it be that they were supporting the Republic of China?  There are many generations of Chinese who returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. What was their purpose?  If it¡¯s not for the Chinese nation, is it for Mr. Chiang Kai-shek?  After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many outstanding scientists abandoned the generous treatment abroad and returned to the land where they were born and raised. Do they really believe in the so-called truth?  Even if it was not verified back then, ordinary scholars still have differences in their recognition of a certain doctrine. The founders of the "two bombs and one satellite" are all highly intelligent people and are not so easy to fool.  What they love is the nation, and it has nothing to do with the name of the country. These people are essentially nationalists.  The more outstanding scientists are, the more persistent or stubborn they are and will not change their direction easily.

    Modern nationalism and patriotism overlap. For example, many Koreans and Mongolians in China consider themselves Chinese, not Korean or Mongolian. They are essentially a type of people who identify with Chinese culture. This group of people  The ethnic centripetal force of China is not comparable to that of immigrants with yellow skin and white hearts who call themselves "Chinese". Their ideological roots lie in family ties, friendships and life circles.

    From a nationalist perspective, only people with both blood and cultural identity are the most stable supporters of the Chinese nation, no matter what the name of the country is, no matter what changes occur overseas.  The so-called "Chinese" or "Chinese",In the narrow sense, it refers to the Chinese people who originate from the territory of China and spread to all over the world. In the narrow sense, "nationals" refer to the nationals living in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

    "The so-called "mother country" and "mother country" refer to the land where the people from whom they originate live. Overseas Chinese often call the mainland "Tangshan", no matter which regime they are under.  There is only one mother in a person's life. If you want to count, there is another one, the land where you were born and raised. Others are not qualified to compare themselves to "mother".  The fundamental reason why many Chinese people are eventually assimilated by their host country is that they have no affection for the land where their ancestors grew up. However, wherever a large number of Chinese people gather, traditions will always be maintained.

    No matter how much Li Zhuang denies it, in fact he can be considered a nationalist.  Before Wesson Technology was established, he had the opportunity to immigrate.  The immigration policies of developed countries are essentially thresholds that can enhance national strength without causing serious negative impacts. That is why there are investment immigrants and skilled immigrants. Only these two types of people can reduce the side effects of increased immigration.

    China has a huge population base, but only some talents are needed by developed countries, and there are only a few high-level talents who can truly immigrate freely.  Military industry, aerospace and core research institutes are all areas that cannot be immigrated, and there are many high-level talents here.

    China is not an inferior nation. It has been the leader of the world for a long time. Even if it declines in modern times, it still has winners of top awards such as the NBA Award, Fields Medal, Turing Award and Wolf Award.  This shows that the problem is not the entire Chinese community, but only a certain group of people. They are not qualified to represent everyone's ideas, although they like to represent them and want to force them to represent them.

    Nationality is an interesting topic. The laws of each country are different. There are even no clear legal provisions, only conventions. There are many countries that tacitly accept or recognize dual nationality, such as Zhou Qisen, who has the nationality of Australia, the United Kingdom and Citigroup.  But I usually only hold an Australian passport.

    Li Zhuang got a headache when he thought of the concepts that sociologists were debating over. Trying to unify everyone's thoughts was something even God couldn't do.

    After the birth of the company¡¯s first batch of one thousand high-IQ newborns bred with artificial ZG, no accidents occurred after long-term follow-up research by the eugenics and eugenics laboratory of the Institute of Medicine, proving that the company¡¯s research in this field has been very complete.  It was impossible to keep such a child a secret, so things about artificial zigzag began to circulate internally.

    There are more than one million local employees at United Technologies, and these people¡¯s tentacles extend to every corner of Australian society, even the dark aspects.  The company's confidentiality system is very strict. Even core dean-level employees like Bill Flins and people close to Li Zhuang like Liang Can cannot escape the punishment of the company's system. Therefore, only rumors spread without evidence.

    This time I was taken to court and everything became clear.  The management joint meeting has been meeting for several days to discuss, not knowing when the storm will arrive, and there are already people demonstrating in Canberra.

    With the deepening of media reports, at the end of August, the vast flow of traffic arrived at its destination, Sunway City, a remote area in northwest Australia.

    Australia is relatively less affected by the financial crisis, mainly because there are not enough people here and it is already very wealthy.  Bored idlers drove electric cars from the Australian Automobile Company, which has a technical partnership with the company, drank pure water produced by the company's water plant, and ate from the large fruit groves along Route 1 planted by the company for public welfare and research.  fruits.

    The sun is scorching, and each car is equipped with a high-efficiency concentrating solar panel produced by the company on the roof. While charging its own car, it also turns on the electronic air conditioner produced by the company. The intensive release of air conditioning reduces the local temperature a lot.  These people were all in high spirits and shouted against the company's artificial intelligence project.

    The security guards who were waiting at the gate were speechless, "Who is this?" Fortunately, United Technologies' style is well-known in Australia. The five laser towers near the gate made the demonstrators a little hesitant and did not dare to attack the company gate.  .

    The atmosphere at the scene was lively, unlike a demonstration. No matter how you looked at it, you felt like these people were out for an outing.  Shouting and shouting, it seemed that there was chaos inside, and there was a quarrel. Suddenly there was another cry of landslide and tsunami, which shocked the security guards. They covered their ears with their hands and could hear what they were shouting.

    "We oppose discrimination and protest against United Technologies' keeping secrets from ordinary people. We strongly call on the company to open up its technology." Then there was another fierce argument and the slogans changed.

    The company executives who came after hearing the news were dumbfounded when they saw the chaotic demonstration scene.  The Western Australia Police Department sent a large number of police officers over, but not to maintain order, but to find the guy who made a mess in the public fruit forest, and to stop the crowd from littering.

    Australia has a vast land and sparsely populated areas. Although littering in urban areas is strictly controlled,??This is along a remote Highway 1. How could the crowds who had finally indulged themselves be able to control so many people.

    The police talked hard and finally persuaded this group of people to leave.  Seeing dozens of square kilometers of garbage, the people who stayed behind didn't know what to say.  The hard-working garbage collection robots and employees driving large garbage trucks became the protagonists of the scene. The sound of electric current made the company's senior executives have the urge to kill.

    ¡°Environmental protection, environmental protection,¡± Li Zhuang muttered, leaving the management to deal with the aftermath and returned to the office.  Sunway City uses all clean energy, and the entire city is extremely clean. There has never been such a mess.

    This city straddles Highway 1. Hundreds of square kilometers in the north and south are littered with garbage. There are fruit peels and edible cactus waste everywhere. I don¡¯t know how many people come to join in the fun.

    "Dr. Zhou, can I ask you a favor?" The police leader leading the team came over with a shy look.

    Zhou Qisen felt a headache when he saw his old face and Mediterranean-style head with thin hair, knowing what he was going to say.  The many middle-aged and elderly people on the side had eager faces, which made Zhou Qisen feel chills, although he himself was not much better.

    Everyone chatted for a while and then left one after another.  Zhou Qisen held a pile of paper in his hand, filled with requests from various related parties, ranging from the heads of government and parliamentarians to ordinary policemen. There were hundreds of pieces of paper in total. He had already made preparations before this group of people came over.

    The passionate Australians don¡¯t seem to be as fussy about ethical issues as the French, and the differences in cultural systems are very obvious.  Many of the company's original Australian employees have chosen to join the "eugenics and eugenics" program. I thought it was only senior intellectuals who had this idea, but today the management finally got to see the Australian style.

    The trouble caused by this matter did not last long, and the results were obtained by early October, and the referendum was passed.  With the expansion of environmental transformation groups in Australia, the carrying capacity of this barren red land has greatly increased, and the population of just over 30 million is far from reaching Australia's limit.

    The groups participating in the referendum have different mentality.  The military has a headache over the supply of troops, while Canberra wants to become a big country, and population is the foundation of a big country.  Most Australians don't care. Compared with raising children, many people don't want to have children. It's time-consuming and troublesome, and it's easy to get out of shape.  Many young couples have no more children after having their first child, even though they really want another.  Now there is a shortcut, and the number of people who support it is huge.

    The so-called ethics and morals are just a fig leaf from the perspective of politicians, but they are not static from the perspective of ordinary people.  In this world, the innovation of concepts has never stopped. Although most of them can be proven wrong, if you don't try, there will be no chance of progress.

    Li Zhuang didn¡¯t care about the trouble caused by the national treasure. He focused on the first rocket launch of the Xinwei Space Center.  Although with the cooperation of the intelligent brain group, Andreev has done everything possible, but Andreev is still not completely sure.

    (In view of some people¡¯s poor understanding ability and either/or computer thinking mode, I couldn¡¯t help but write a few more sentences. Lao Lang is not that stupid and included himself. Some words were originally deleted, but now  Take it out again.)
