Chapter 1944: The Martian Problem
Sanriyue looked at Duran curiously, Olga was like his eldest brother, and the famous quotes of the eldest brother imitated Duran, so Sanriyue was curious about what kind of person Duran was that had such a big impact on his eldest brother.
After reading it, I thought Duran was very ordinary.
However, as long as people with a little common sense, even illiterate and orphans know that Duran is not normal, a barefoot doctor turned into a major soldier, and then betrayed the Seven Star family without hesitation, no matter how you look at it, it is not a normal person's thinking, how can a normal person jump like this.
However, according to Duran, he once wanted to change Olga's fate: "He could have been a doctor or a lawyer, but he ran away, and I realized that I could heal his legs, but not his heart, so I went to join the army, hoping to change the status quo by entering the upper echelons of the Seven Star Family, but the Seven Star Family is now just a group of mercenary guys, as vested interests, they will not easily give up their interests, so they will desperately suppress the development of various political systems, and at the same time let all kinds of private armed forces go." ”
The orphans say they don't understand, and only the independent girl and her personal assistant can understand, the independent girl respects Duran's courage, and the personal assistant thinks that Duran is too abnormal.
As an adult with a normal IQ, Miss Assistant has never met someone like Duran, and his behavior is completely illogical, and he feels as if he is a freak.
The assistant questions Duran's actions, but the independent girl admires Duran's determination and will to act. She already felt Duran's desire to change Mars's mind, and Duran also implemented the action, although the action lacked the support of logical thinking, but how many people could implement it from the heart to the action?
For those who act bravely, revolutionary girls are very admired. It even resonated with her, because she is also a doer, of course, her original intention was not because the Martian people's livelihood withered, and she as the daughter of a capitalist didn't know what the bottom life on Mars was like before she came to CGS. She promoted the independence of Mars entirely because of the various injustices that Mars has suffered in the process of trade, and the Martian Independence Council is also composed of a group of capitalists who want independence only in the hope of dominating the trade with Earth, not to change the fate of orphans.
Of course, if business and employment increase after Mars becomes independent, it can indeed change the status quo, but the question now is whether Mars will really be able to take advantage of trade with Earth after independence?
Can Mars really break away from Earth's control?
First of all, the living environment of Mars is much worse than that of the earth, many Martians have never seen the sea in their lives, have never seen rain, and the water source of Mars mainly comes from cosmic ice or water collectors. At the same time, the crops on Mars are basically corn-type grains, and even ordinary children do not have the opportunity to eat sugar and chocolate regularly.
The food that earthlings are accustomed to, such as fish, snacks, etc., cannot be consumed by the common people of Mars.
After talking about the underlying economic situation, let's talk about the high-end field, the earth still masters the core technology, the headquarters of the seven families, and various research institutions are on the earth, although the factories are all over the space colonization satellites and Mars, but Mars obviously does not have enough research and development capabilities.
If you look at the fact that there are so many orphans on Mars, you will know that the education system on Mars is not perfect, there is no education for all, there is no large reserve of workers, and there is no research to impact cutting-edge equipment.
Of course, Mars also has an advantage, that is, resources, and the rare elements needed for mecha manufacturing are basically mined by Mars. If Mars were to become independent, it would be fine to be a resource government.
The big capitalists on Mars are divided into these categories: big miners, shipping conglomerates, and speculators who buy and sell. There are very few entities and researchers, and if these people really form an independent government, it is completely predictable how much employment will be created, and it is certainly very few.
Of course, if the independent girl realizes that the problem of Mars is because of the lack of industry, and wants to carry out industrialization, the problem will arise again, that is, the environment of Mars does not allow large-scale industrialization, first of all, water and raw materials, even if it is forcibly industrialized, the high cost of water and raw materials will make the price of commodities increase dramatically, and it will still be crushed by the earth's commodities at that time.
Therefore, the problem of Mars is not just as simple as the inaction of the capitalists, but also has objective reasons that are more difficult to overcome.
"There are a lot of problems with Mars. On the way to escape, Duran did not forget to teach the orphans, although the orphans did not understand, but also knew that there was such an insurmountable objective reason for their tragic fate.
In fact, after meeting CGS, she thought about helping the orphans live a good life after independence, but now she finds that she is wishful thinking. She may be able to help the Tiehua orphans, but there are thousands of Martian orphans who can't go to school or get jobs because she simply can't afford to provide so many jobs.
"So what can we do to change the status quo on Mars?" asked the independent girl humbly, hoping that Duran would give her an answer.
The assistant said how could Duran possibly know the answer.
However, Duran really gave a suggestion: "Because there has been no large-scale war in 300 years, and now the number of human beings has swelled to a critical point, so the first thing we have to do is family planning, and a family can only have one." "The problem now is that jobs cannot be solved in a short period of time, so we should think backwards, first think about how to solve the root cause of the population, and first control the population growth rate.
When the assistant heard this, he objected: "You mean that since the children born will become poor people like Tiehua Tuan, you won't let them be born? "It's so inhumane.
"If you want to return Martian society to normalcy, it is inevitable. Duran said that there will be people who will suffer from any policy implementation, but since humanity has decided to move towards social development, it must accept the consequences.
"For example, Griffin from the Latte Group, this little fat man has two younger sisters at home, and he could have continued to go to school, but because of the birth of the two younger sisters, he had to work at CGS at a young age. What about the future? Whether his two younger sisters can get an education is still a question mark. "Duran lifted chestnuts with the people of the Tiehua Group around him, which was very convincing.
The Martians belong to the poorer the poorer they are, and the poorer they are.
In addition to the little fat man, there are actually many examples, such as the little girlfriend of the three days, Atra, who also dropped out of school at a young age to become a cheap laborer.
If the Martians don't control population growth now, then there is no possibility of rising in the future.
The assistant was silent, but it was the first time that the independent girl had met someone with such a clear governing platform, and although the pro-independence parliamentarians she knew before were very good at business, no one had ever been as far-sighted as Duran. Even her own goal is not to change the existing system of Mars, but to do business, and she originally planned to build her own company after Mars became independent, and her original goal was only that.
