David was imprisoned in a yellow wooden house with iron bars on the windows, and the human DNA container on his body was also taken away.

Steve led some of his subordinates who had already bribed him, including Frank, the commander of Company A of the Combat Support Battalion, to gather everyone and announced that the arrest of David was an order from the United Nations because David was suspected of using power for personal gain more than four years ago.

It has been decided to revoke the positions of commander of the advance army and commander-in-chief of the New World Project.

Next, everyone has to accept Joseph's command.

In fact, during the years when the souls of David and other 2,500 members of the advance army were frozen, and their soul copy data were stored in "cannonballs" and shot off the moon, a lot of things happened on the earth.

On January 1, 2136, the five thousand "cannonballs" were launched by a giant electromagnetic gun installed on the moon. They are expected to fly for 14 years and arrive at Proxima Centauri b in early 2150.

David is the commander-in-chief of the New World Project. He could have commanded the entire advance army remotely from the comfort of Earth, but he strongly requested to participate in the first batch of expeditions.

Joseph, who was the deputy commander-in-chief of the project at the time, was also very eager to go to the new planet. During the project implementation demonstration stage, he proposed that the souls of the family members of the advance army could also enter the clones on Proxima b first, but the proposal was immediately rejected.

Go to the General Assembly of Permanent Representatives of various countries to the United Nations to discuss and reject it.

After Joseph's suggestion was rejected, he began to bribe the third person in the Engineering Command, U.S. Space Force Lieutenant General Steve.

Before the "cannonball" was launched, the two plotted a rebellion plan together.

In order to prevent Steve from having second thoughts, Joseph also sent someone to "protect" Steve's family members who would stay in the real world on Earth in the future.

Under Joseph's coercion and inducement, Steve acquiesced to this approach.

Twelve years after the "Cannonball" set off, in 2148, the soul data of Joseph and nine other scientists set off from the earth and were transmitted to Proxima Centauri b via radio waves. Also departing at the same time were the records of Joseph's wife sent by Joseph's other associates.

The Soul of Linda Adrian.

In twelve years, a lot of things can be done and a lot of people can be bought.

After Joseph's plan was completed, he broke away from the earth and made himself the emperor of the New World Empire.

He has many supporters, Steve is just one of them, and they have all been promised generous salaries by high-ranking officials.

There are even officials from some countries among them.

At that time, the five thousand "cannonballs" contained, in addition to the DNA samples of the pioneers themselves, the DNA samples of all the family members of the pioneers, as well as soldiers, scientists and even some civilians who planned to go to the new world later.

Of course, the United Nations hopes that scientists and soldiers will go to the new world first, build the new city, and then take over the souls of the families of the advance troops and subsequent personnel after the situation is stable.

In order to prevent the advance army from rebelling and establishing itself, the United Nations does not allow the "cannonball" to store soul copy data of the family members of the advance army members and other plan follow-up personnel, and stipulates that these data can only be sent from the earth at a later date.

Ever since humans can store all their memories and thoughts in a large server controlled by the United Nations to "live", and can clone their bodies with bionic weapons and then transfer back to a new body from the server to "resurrect", people on the earth have

The population has increased dramatically to more than 20 billion in just over 100 years.

When talking about the rapid increase in population, we have to mention the unemployment rate. According to a study conducted by a group of economists and sociologists, it was concluded that once the proportion of unemployed people in a country accounts for 30% of the national population, society will inevitably

There will be turmoil.

One of the greatest physicists of the 21st century, Stephen William Hawking, warned people before his death that artificial intelligence is the biggest hidden danger that will lead to human extinction or global turmoil in the future.

What may happen is that either artificial intelligence declares war on mankind and wipes out all mankind. Or artificial intelligence replaces most people's jobs, serves a small group of human elites, enslaves other humans, or triggers a war between humans.

.

For this reason, at the end of the 21st century, the United Nations Security Council forcibly voted to adopt a "Convention on the Non-Proliferation of Artificial Intelligence" in an attempt to strictly restrict artificial intelligence.

The Convention contains a lot of content, a considerable part of which are prohibitive provisions, and requires each state party to write most of the provisions of the Convention into their own national criminal laws. There are several most revolutionary provisions in the Convention:

1. Prohibit artificial intelligence devices from directly connecting to the World Wide Web to prevent artificial intelligence from all over the world from uniting to deal with all mankind.

2. Personnel researching artificial intelligence must obtain written authorization from UNESCO and make a written commitment to voluntarily accept supervision by the judicial authorities of their country or the United Nations.

Third, it is forbidden to produce self-aware bionic devices, that is, the artificial intelligence of the world, which can only be a computer without arms and legs, without exception, and even self-aware vehicles are not allowed to exist.

When the Convention was first adopted, there was a lot of opposition from all over the world, including from some leaders of non-mainstream countries. The main opinion was that the Convention would hinder the progress of human science and technology.

But it is self-evident that the advancement of human science and technology is more important than the safe continuation of human blood.

To this end, a multinational force headed by a major Western country carried out surgical strikes to subdue the small countries that opposed the convention one by one. Finally, all countries in the world became parties to the convention.

In the decades since the Convention came into effect, people have discovered that in addition to the world remaining relatively peaceful and the imagined war between humans and robots not happening, it has also brought about another benefit, that is, the unemployment rate has been greatly reduced.

Because although every robot or machine in enterprises, governments, armies or homes in various countries must work under human supervision and control, key actions must be controlled by mechanical buttons, such as starting and stopping engine buttons and weapon firing buttons.

Wait, it has become a "remote control tool" without self-awareness, greatly increasing the costs of various industries. But the benefits are obvious, and many people's jobs will not be replaced by robots.

The above is also the historical reason why artificial intelligence has not been widely popularized around the world in the 22nd century.

Of course, weapons such as electric machine guns, ultrasonic directional transmitters and other weapons equipped by the advance troops heading to Proxima b were fully automatically controlled by computers at the beginning, which obviously violated the above-mentioned convention.

However, in order to ensure that the marmosets can grow up and establish themselves safely in the new world, they must be protected by fully automatic weapons with the ability to independently determine shooting targets. To this end, the United Nations convened a General Assembly of Permanent Representatives of various countries to the United Nations and voted to allow the advance army to carry computer-controlled weapons.

The decision to control the fully automatic weapon to travel to the planet Proxima b.

The resolution also requires that after the souls of all members of the advance army are transferred from marmosets back to human bodies, the program for controlling fully automatic weapons must be modified back to a mode where humans personally control the mechanical buttons before firing.

Back to the soul database, in order to facilitate management, the United Nations stipulates that the souls living in the database must be the same age and appearance as when they died.

Although some people use artificial reproductive organs (also known as cloning chambers) to reproduce, and some people do not want to give up the beauty of the world and choose natural birth. No matter what method is used, everyone is constantly giving birth to children, but no one will "die" anymore.

”.

Of course, "resurrection" requires some expenses, but with the popularity of the cloning industry, even some small authorized hospitals can do it. Therefore, the cost of "resurrection" is not high, and any family can afford it.

In order to prevent two people with exactly the same DNA from having different thoughts, various countries, under the supervision of the United Nations Security Council, have formulated a series of similar regulations. Among them, "resurrected" souls can only be cloned using their own DNA.

After the souls in the newborn's body and in the database are copied, they must be temporarily frozen or even deleted to avoid the appearance of two or more humans with the same soul.

Because if the clone grows up naturally and has its own memory and thinking, it will definitely be different from the original body and become another person.

And if a certain soul is continuously copied and injected into several clones at the same time, it will be a very embarrassing or even terrifying situation.

At the same time, some people will think that a modified, integrated, omniscient artificial soul can be implanted into an individual, making it a deified person with a super brain.

This is of course not allowed. Therefore, relevant United Nations conventions and national laws stipulate that conducting such research and activities will be one of the most serious crimes. Even if it is for the purpose of improving learning efficiency, inputting various subject knowledge into a certain subject

The human brain is also strictly prohibited.

In order to prevent the abuse of technologies such as artificial intelligence, human cloning, and super brains, the United Nations has also established a specialized intelligence agency, affiliated with Interpol, to investigate and arrest various criminals of this kind, and at the same time coordinate and guide the judicial and intelligence services of various countries.

Department carries out this work.

The United Nations and various countries also stipulate that everyone in the world needs to go to a qualified hospital for a routine brain scan every year, and the number of scan statistics will be linked to their identity and household registration system.

Each routine scan should be performed by a doctor with corresponding qualifications, under the supervision of the health department of each country or officials assigned to the hospital by the United Nations Department of Health, using scanning equipment registered by the United Nations Department of Health to scan each person's brain to see if they have ever

In violation of relevant regulations, if someone is found to be abusing cloning and soul importation technologies, they will be sent to the judicial authorities.

Officials from police, customs and other departments in various countries have the right to check the routine scanning records of each person's identity document when inspecting them. Once a missing person is found, they can be summoned to the hospital for a compulsory brain scan.

Of course, in order to protect personal privacy and encourage people to voluntarily accept scanning, the content and process of scanning someone's brain by the relevant scanning equipment will not be recorded and archived, nor will it be disclosed to the equipment operator, but only the results will be informed ---

Whether the person being scanned has ever violated the aforementioned relevant prohibitive laws and regulations.

At the same time, if you attempt to use such technology to invade personal privacy, doctors or operators of related equipment will be actively reported by the equipment, and they will therefore face severe penalties.
