Chapter 4: Staying unchanged in response to all changes
As for the situation of this body, Chen Yuanguang felt that the only thing he needed to worry about was who the real murderer was and whether he would continue to threaten his personal safety.
He was not interested in helping his original self to take revenge, but he was not averse to taking advantage of the situation when he was able to do so.
Therefore, revenge ranked particularly low on his list of priorities.
"What I need to do now is to apply for the exam, graduate directly from high school and enter college. Then, when I get to college, I should spend money to accumulate knowledge to the same level as future scientists and raise my citizenship level first," Chen Yuanguang thought.
“Once I get promoted to citizen level, I will be able to launch a trial of truth against Lin Ran based on my own status.”
Citizenship is a social management mechanism created by Alpha. It operates this mechanism in the process of managing Africa. After so many years of improvement, it has become a very mature mechanism.
Citizenship levels are universally recognized in areas controlled by Alpha.
Different levels of citizenship mean different voting rights. When voting on specific matters, the opinion of a high-level citizen may invalidate the opinions of all opposing parties.
"I didn't expect that I would have to take the college entrance examination again." Chen Yuanguang thought.
“It seems like I have to get a doctorate degree here to show my genius, otherwise it won’t make sense when I come up with all kinds of future black technologies.
Just because of the limitation of the helmet, it is impossible for me to study abroad. It would be best if I didn’t even change cities and just study at Jiangnan University.
This way, I don't have to carry the Matrix helmet around with me.
I carry it with me everywhere. What if someone writes it down during security check? What if it is dug up later and people become suspicious?
Not to mention being stolen after leaving the country.”
Chen Yuanguang had too many thoughts, drifting from one side to the other. He didn't have a complete train of thought at the moment and just let his thoughts fly.
Because now he is not in a hurry to get results, nor is he in a hurry to come up with a complete plan. He just wants to come to the real world to take a breath, and then go back after an hour to observe the passage of time between reality and the future.
When Chen Yuanguang wanted to retrieve his helmet, he realized, "Hey? Where's my helmet? How come it disappeared?"
Why did my golden finger disappear? Chen Yuanguang was very upset.
The frustration was palpable.
If he didn't have the golden finger that could take him to the future, he would be just an ordinary person, at best an ordinary person with a little money at home and a freer life.
After being able to go to the future, let alone the RM entrepreneur who can call the wind and rain, the extent to which he can change the earth is much greater than this.
This is an unparalleled temptation for young people who have money and free time.
But where was my helmet? That matte black, silver Matrix logo? How did it disappear?
After Chen Yuanguang searched for a while without finding it, he collapsed on the sofa in disappointment. After clearing his mind, he discovered that there was a bright light in his brain, and no matter how he meditated, the light did not disappear.
After he focused his attention on the bright light, he felt dizzy and went to the future again.
"Does this mean that the helmet has moved into my brain? Never mind. This is not a question I can figure out right now. Two hours passed in the real world, but less than five minutes passed here.
It seems that whether I am in the future or in the present, time passes significantly faster than in another time and space.
The mere passage of time is enough to prove that this space-time is a real world, not a binary simulation."
Chen Yuanguang plans to stay here longer this time.
Because his parents had both passed away, he took a full month's leave from school, and the school said it fully understood.
The Kuala Lumpur Chung Hwa Independent High School where he is studying is one of the few schools in Kuala Lumpur that is still managed and taught by humans.
Being managed and taught by real people means that the tuition fees are extremely high.
Chen Yuanguang's father was easily hit and killed because he was in an area without a surveillance network.
If there was a surveillance network, there would be enough time to be rescued even if someone was hit.
Not to mention that in the future most cars will be fully autonomous, making car accidents impossible.
As long as he doesn't wander around and go to remote areas where there are no Sky Eyes, Chen Yuanguang is not worried about his own safety.
As soon as Chen Yuanguang walked out of the house, he realized something was wrong. "Both my parents are dead, and I am the only one alive. Will anyone continue to target me?
In the new environment, safety comes first.”
Chen Yuanguang felt that many things were shrouded in a fog and he could not see the direction clearly.
Since you can't see clearly, then don't think about it. Apply for the high school graduation exam in advance and then enter university.
"I will stay here for now, and when the citizen level is raised, I will directly apply for a citizen trial against the suspect." Chen Yuanguang thought.
Chen Yuanguang did not go out. He picked up the virtual helmet at home and found that the logo on it was also Matrix, but the styles of the two logos were slightly different.
Behind Matrix is the Matrix Group, which is also a giant enterprise. Its main business scope is electronic equipment and various electronic components. It is a global giant. Although its business breadth is not as broad as that of Huafeng Group, its influence is far greater than that of Huafeng.
"The logos are all Matrix. Is this a coincidence or a necessity?" Chen Yuanguang pondered.
He didn't have to think about this question for too long. After putting on the helmet and turning it on, he began to search for real questions from previous years' high school graduation exams. After reading them, he was surprised at how easy the exam was.
Chen Yuanguang originally thought that with the passage of time and the development of the times, the current examination content should be much more difficult than the college entrance examination, both in terms of the depth and breadth of knowledge.
You know, the average human lifespan has increased to 120 years. With such a long lifespan, the technological explosion means that the requirements for scientists' knowledge reserves have increased. You need more knowledge reserves to explore the boundaries of knowledge and achieve breakthroughs.
Then of course your knowledge reserves during the learning stage must also increase.
As a result, the difficulty of Malaysia's college entrance examination is extremely low, even lower than the high school entrance examination in the previous life, and the examination content only includes mathematics, physics and writing.
Chen Yuanguang didn't believe it, so he searched for the college entrance examination papers in China and found that the difficulty level was also very low. It was harder than that in Malaysia, but not much more difficult. It was nothing more than the difference between the junior high school entrance examination and the simple test in the first year of high school.
“Why is it that the difficulty of the college entrance examination in various regions of the world does not seem to be about selecting talents, but rather general education?” Ask AI when you are in doubt.
Chen Yuanguang asked the AI named Pangu.
“Due to the development of science and technology, the current education policy adopted globally is a relaxed policy, and people can decide what they want to do based on their own interests and hobbies.
When society has perfect welfare and people do not need to work to support themselves, high school and education before high school is only to let people have common sense, rather than to set thresholds for people to distinguish the levels of different people. The purpose of education becomes education itself.
There is no difference between graduates from different universities and different academic qualifications. For AI, whether they have a bachelor's degree or a doctorate, their performance at work will not be better than AI. Therefore, whether they have a bachelor's degree or a doctorate, there will be no difference in treatment. "
After reading it, Chen Yuanguang noticed any difference and thought, no wonder the Chinese people didn't get so excited about such a simple education.
It turns out that no matter which university you graduated from or what doctorate you have, as long as you go to work, the treatment is the same.
People are animals that weigh the pros and cons. If you work hard to graduate with a Ph.D., but then get paid less than you would with an undergraduate degree, you will naturally have less desire to take the exam.
Moreover, nowadays, one can live a good life just by relying on welfare, and the best option is to just lie down and not study.
“What are the requirements for doing academic research?”
"To engage in academic research, a doctorate degree is the first screening threshold. Lord Alpha's research and development efficiency is greater than the sum of all humans. If you want to engage in academic research, the direction is very important.
Master Alpha has many research directions, and for scholars, it is most valuable if their research directions do not overlap with those of Alpha. "
Chen Yuanguang felt a chill after hearing this, which was equivalent to saying that all of humanity was just a tool for Alpha to find out the gaps and fill them up.
AI is too powerful, and humans need to panic.
With more than three hundred years of history, people have come out of the panic when Alpha was first discovered, but Chen Yuanguang is just beginning to face the impact of the changing times and the rampant artificial intelligence, and it will take time.
Although the college entrance examination is simple, "college entrance examination" is what Chen Yuanguang subconsciously calls it. In fact, this examination is called the general education completion examination.
After passing the exam, AI will assign you to the corresponding school based on your region, not your scores.
