That kick off a wave of insurance payments.

How was this going to be solved? A ''reset'' seemed the only way out. | |||

'''technology issues''' | |||
WCG ideological heads begun to fear the completion of a "technology sphere" in which further inventions and rationalizations would cut many workplaces. The capitalistic system needs the people to work for their money. When they can't earn money then they can't spent it for goods and then the manufacturing-plants would have to stop working. A breakdown of this cycle was unacceptable [until the system would underwent a change which was unlikely to happen]. The specter of Communism should be kept in its box. That's one reason why the WCG took control of technological research. | |||
Another horror scenario seem that machines would be given or would themselves develop an intelligence. At least since the Terminator or Matrix movies, everyone knows that there are risk alongside chances of this future tech. The raise of quantum computers made many members of the research community become optimistic that AIs would see the light of day in few decades. WCG set up a general research prohibition on this matter, special license are only given to few facilities. | |||
Last but not least, [[wikipedia:Telomere|telomere regeneration]] and [http://www.nanotechbuzz.com/50226711/bioprinting_to_create_synthetic_organs.php bioprinting] were big step into direction biological immortality which WCG is not prepared for and not plans to since the problem of overpopulation and the amount of needed resources are too big cons. Applications of these technologies are very heavy guarded and only indirectly available for civil-medical use. | |||
"Science criminals" are often allowed to work in TCTF-secured complexes (aka [[CHAPTER_12_._SINS_OF_THE_FATHER|TCTF Science Prisons]]). | |||
Only Green Village is rumored to have an official research license for a Daodan program. | |||
