Chapter 648 Brave New World (VII)
The two talked about their ideals and looked at the scenery.
Before I knew it, the sun was setting in the sky.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Ye Shuwen's face. The existence of the symbiont made him feel full of strength.
The herd of elephants in the distance are also preparing to leave.
"Let's go! Let's go eat!"
"Speaking of eating, I want to try that function." Xiao Yong said eagerly.
"That function?" Ye Shuwen was a little puzzled.
Xiao Yong smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's the taste-changing function. Some of our oral taste cells are made up of symbiotic insects. They can provide us with different taste sensations."
"So that's what it is. Aren't you afraid of tasting the smell of rice fields?" Ye Shuwen joked.
"Haha, that's impossible. I'm a man who has read the strategy guide."
The so-called taste changing function is actually a new trend among the new humans in recent years.
Originally, this function was developed to assist patients with loss of taste function, but later, some unknown initiator had a sudden idea to use this function to simulate the taste cells of other animals so that they can experience different tastes.
The same fruit can have all kinds of different tastes in the taste buds of different animals.
Many people have tried the taste organs of various animals and can indeed taste a variety of new flavors.
Of course, some of them became very delicious and tasty, while others became very strange or even extremely smelly.
There are various taste simulation strategies on the Internet of Sapiens Company. It was when Xiao Yong was surfing the Internet that he accidentally entered a "taste forum" and learned that he could play this way.
After a while, the two of them drove an electric motorcycle into a fully automatic restaurant.
With the development of technology and the improvement of employee quality, occupations like restaurant waiters have been gradually decreasing.
After all, for new generations with a PhD degree per capita, it is a waste of their talents to do the job of serving dishes.
Although the occupational contempt chain within the Homo Sapiens company is not obvious, a waiter who serves dishes is undoubtedly the lowest-end job and its value is too low for the company.
Therefore, robot waiters came into being.
The restaurant the two came to is a fully automatic restaurant. Except for a few administrators, all other work is done by robots or automated equipment.
"Sir, this is the menu." The robot with a curvy figure made a sweet voice and handed two pieces of "paper" to the two people at the same time.
This piece of paper is actually a biological tablet computer. It can now be made as light and thin as a piece of paper and can even be folded.
"Tom Yum Goong soup, Thai curry rice, braised shrimp, and a grilled lamb chop." Xiao Yong quickly ordered the dishes on the menu page.
Ye Shuwen also ordered a similar dish, but changed the braised shrimp to grilled naan.
When the restaurant's kitchen system receives the menu, it immediately turns on the automated equipment, and the chef robot begins preparing the dishes with master-level skills.
For chef robots , as long as human chefs teach them step by step, they can replicate the dishes perfectly.
Ordinary human chefs cannot compare with chef robots, especially when it comes to making standard dishes. The characteristics of chef robots are "fast, accurate and ruthless".
Soon, with the help of automated auxiliary equipment, dishes were served to the guests' tables by waiter robots.
Only dishes that can be consumed by all employees are what Sapiens pursues.
For example, the lobster, which is produced in very small quantities in nature, cannot meet the daily needs of nearly 4 billion employees even if all the lobsters on the earth are wiped out.
Therefore, Haitian Agriculture has developed artificial lobster meat, which is 100% authentic, with the texture, taste and nutritional content being exactly the same.
Now, even if people want to eat lobster meat as a meal, the Homo Sapiens company can satisfy their needs.
This is also the reason why Homo Sapiens will gradually withdraw from the natural ecosystem. After all, when humans no longer need to obtain food and materials from the natural ecosystem, it means that the natural ecosystem is no longer important.
The emergence of large amounts of artificial food has completely severed the food chain between new humans and the natural ecosystem.
Although the emergence of artificial food means that new humans no longer need to obtain food from nature, they have not given up studying various wild animals and plants. After all, replication also requires a mother sample, and wild animals and plants are one of the better mother samples.
The table was filled with dishes.
Xiao Yong took a bite of Thai curry rice with his original human taste, savored it carefully for a while, and then switched to his cat's taste.
"Huh? There really are big changes!"
"Really?" Ye Shuwen's curiosity was also aroused. He also switched his sense of taste to that of a cat, and then took a sip of Tom Yum Goong soup. His eyes widened instantly: "What a strange taste sensation!"
"Take a look at this shrimp. This shrimp has a more exotic taste."
While eating, the two of them carefully felt the new experience brought by the cat's taste buds.
The company did not prohibit the behavior of changing one's taste, but it issued a safe usage guide to prevent some people from switching randomly.
After all, the sense of taste of some animals is very different from that of humans. Randomly switching the sense of taste can easily cause a bad experience and lead to psychological problems.
The cat taste that Xiao Yong and Ye Shuwen experienced was a relatively safe type.
In fact, in addition to the "super taste" trend, there are also new art genres such as "ultrasonic music" and "super visible light video".
Humans are originally unable to hear ultrasound or see light waves beyond visible light , but new technologies can allow new humans to acquire a sensory system that surpasses that of natural humans.
Since we have a more advanced sensory system, the sensory feelings that extend from this part will naturally serve as the basis for the birth of new art.
In addition, the new humans are generally rich and have more free time, and they are numerous and powerful , so they are really good at playing with new art.
For example, there are ultrasonic pianos, ultrasonic flutes, special ultrasonic music websites, and audio equipment that specifically plays ultrasonic music.
These ultrasonic music are harmful to the body if natural people listen to them. Only new humans can listen to ultrasonic music safely.
Similarly, only the new humans can understand magnetic field paintings, ultraviolet paintings, infrared paintings, etc.
If a person goes to see the many art exhibitions within the Sapiens company, he or she can see many strange and even inexplicable paintings.
Only from the perspective of new humans can the true nature of these paintings be revealed.
Xiao Yong and Ye Shuwen joined the Intelligent Man Company, so naturally they had to follow the crowd and change their natural habits. This was their first step to integrating into the new human race.
Although reproductive isolation has not yet appeared, cultural isolation has begun to appear.
