#862 - Chapter 862 Nothingness
In reality, everyone understands that the special care they receive from Dongfang Chen is due to their family members undertaking extremely dangerous missions outside.
But they still can't help but worry.
Things are different now than before.
Before, everyone was on Blue Star, and there was a chance of meeting someday, a hope to look forward to. But now, even that hope is gone.
Dongfang Chen the Second also didn't know how to comfort them.
Because most of the people here haven't seen their husbands, sons, or fathers for many years.
Since the infiltrators were sent out, it's been almost 12 years.
In these 12 years, over 90% of the infiltrators have never returned, or even made a single phone call home.
Although Dongfang Chen provided a private communication channel for occasional private contact, many bases have been blocked over the years, and there has been no contact at all.
Anyone would be extremely worried in that situation.
The welcome banquet ended in a rather somber atmosphere.
In Dongfang Chen the Second's office.
Niu Xingwang sat opposite him, with a pot of tea already brewed on the table in front of them.
"Brother Niu, I hope you can properly comfort these family members during the following period. Coming to Mars suddenly has a big impact on them."
"Don't worry, I already have an idea about this," Niu Xingwang said.
"Oh? Really? Tell me about it?" Dongfang Chen the Second asked curiously.
"I plan to start a business to give everyone something to do," Niu Xingwang said with a smile.
"? ? ?"
"Brother Niu, isn't there anything the robots in our base can't make? If you start a business, won't you lose everything?" Dongfang Chen the Second joked.
He was just kidding.
The base implements distribution according to need, without an economic system, so there is no such thing as profit or loss.
"How shallow can you be? Do you think everything can be made by robots?" Niu Xingwang smiled mysteriously.
"Oh? I really think so," Dongfang Chen the Second replied matter-of-factly.
What is the difference between the current Natas and Monkas and normal humans?
If there is one, it's that their brains are too fast and their learning ability is too strong.
Dongfang Chen the Second really couldn't think of anything that a super artificial intelligence couldn't do.
Including aesthetic things, such as music, calligraphy, art, dance... these highly subjective things, super artificial intelligence can still do, and do it faster and better than humans.
Drawing a painting in one second is nothing.
Nata can draw thousands of paintings in one second without any problem, and these thousands of paintings can still be stylistically different. Can humans do that? Definitely not.
So, is there anything that super artificial intelligence can't do?
"Can you let a chef experience the joy of cooking?"
"Can you let a painter feel the sense of accomplishment when completing a work?"
"Can you let a family of three feel the happiness of reunion?"
Niu Xingwang asked a few questions casually, and Dongfang Chen the Second couldn't answer.
The questions he asked actually have a common point: that is, a sense of accomplishment.
"Then I don't understand, what are you going to make by creating this company?" Dongfang Chen the Second still didn't understand.
The sense of accomplishment is not easy to give.
If a painter wants to experience the sense of accomplishment of completing a work, do you just paint a picture and give it to him?
People don't care about it.
"Create a sense of happiness," Niu Xingwang said.
After hearing this sentence, Dongfang Chen the Second felt something in his heart was touched.
It seems that he has never experienced a sense of happiness since he was a child, and he is even very unfamiliar with this kind of thing.
It's ironic.
People have come to a place like Mars where birds don't lay eggs, and the first thought is not how to survive, but to create a sense of happiness.
But this is all thanks to Dongfang Chen's advanced technology, which brought people out of the survival crisis.
People don't have worries about lifespan, and they don't have worries about life, so naturally they begin to explore the spiritual level.
Dongfang Chen completely ignored this point when he was on Blue Star.
But there are reasons for this. Because he didn't spend most of his time with everyone, but stayed alone in the Kunlun Mountains.
"Brother Niu, then what do you think is the sense of happiness?" Dongfang Chen the Second asked when he didn't understand.
"I think about this question this way. The sense of happiness varies from person to person, and even in the same scene and the same environment, different people feel completely different, and cannot be generalized. So I changed my thinking."
"What kind of thinking?"
"If a person's wishes can be realized, and everything they want can be obtained, will this person have a sense of happiness?"
Dongfang Chen the Second pondered for a moment and said:
"I don't think so."
"That's right, if what you think is what you get, then you probably won't have a sense of happiness, but you will have another feeling," Niu Xingwang nodded.
"What feeling?"
"Nothingness."
