In 2488 A.D., the Commonwealth of Greater East Asia and the Commonwealth of Europe were about to be united.

"This is the biggest news story in the international community in decades. This surprised many people, and Mendez, a well-known scholar of the Latin American and South American Federation, published "The Evolutionary History of Human Society", which analyzed in detail the federal fever that appeared more than 200 years ago. The federation boom gave birth to several mega-states, more than 60 states in North America formed a large United States, and the countries of eastern and southeastern Asia united to form the Greater East Asian Federation. ”

In Mendez's research, he argues that the same cultural origins are a prerequisite for the formation of the Federation. And if the European Commonwealth succeeds in the Greater East Asia Federation, it will undoubtedly embarrass Mr. Mendes. If a research result is too confined to a specific historical environment, then the scientific nature of the research result is worth pondering. ”

Professor Guo on the podium looked at a corner of the classroom and sighed. Since its establishment, Chang'an Liuqing University has taken the route of high-end aristocracy, and now it still maintains the tradition of classroom classes. And the students enrolled in the school are also motivated people who aspire to become the elite of society. And what's going on with this girl? The other students were listening attentively, but what was this little girl assembling there? I'm not going to be mechanical.

The girl who was busy in the corner of the classroom sensed the strange atmosphere, and the professor seemed to have stopped speaking for a while. The girl looked up, and well, everyone in the classroom was looking at her.

"Are you all sunflowers?" The girl muttered softly and threw her half-assembled glider skeleton aside, then smiled sweetly at the professor.

Professor Guo was also quite helpless, he was very impressed by this girl, and her dress alone was unforgettable. The elite of this school respected the traditions of the school and mostly dressed in classical attire. And most children in this age group prefer all kinds of exaggerated movie costumes. When Professor Guo was at home, he had a headache when he saw his son's colorful screen, which was not practical at all, and the screen could be placed in a few common positions, so why make himself look like a neon box? I want to be a university professor myself, or a famous university like Evergreen. How did his son become a member of the reserve group?

The term reserve group seems to have been first mentioned by Mendez and has since been widely quoted. Thinking of this, Professor Guo continued his course.

Mendez believed that the emergence of the federal craze was a historical inevitability, because as the weapons developed by mankind became more and more powerful, the possibility of large-scale wars gradually decreased, and the means by which countries obtained themselves became more and more single. In such an environment, inefficient diplomatic approaches do not meet the needs of countries in a timely manner. With the further development of productive forces, the trend of global economic integration has increased the demand for foreign materials and technology among countries. In this context, the federal approach to reducing barriers between regions has become a means of attracting attention. ”

"But there are also prerequisites for all this, and two parties with too much difference in comprehensive national strength cannot form a federation. The richer and more developed side will not engage in such a merger with the backward regions. So what's the other opportunity for this merger boom? Do you remember what I said in my last class? ”

"Jianfeng Fernandez, you can answer it." Professor Guo selected a boy from among the students who raised their hands, this child was a mixed-race child, with a strong body and a soft beauty between his eyebrows. Jianfeng's classmate stood up, he was also wearing a classical suit and an exaggerated pair of glasses on his face. He and the professor were the only ones in the room with such things.

"Sir, it is an equilibrium in the world in terms of per capita productivity." Professor Guo waited for two seconds, and then a smile appeared on his face. The kid stood up with confidence and gave me an answer that amounted to nothing. As Professor Guo was about to find another student to answer the question, Jianfeng Fernandez spoke again.

"Hundreds of years of technological development have brought productivity levels closer to each other in all regions of the world. The end of the Great Recession saw a global overabundance of productivity, which made it possible for small governments to join together to form large federations. ”

Professor Guo nodded and asked Jianfeng to sit down. "Ms. Ariel Lu, could you please help the students review what the Great Demographic Recession is?"

Not long after settling down, Ariel, who was about to move again, was suddenly named. Once again, the eyes of the entire classroom were focused on her.

In fact, everyone in this classroom is very curious about this beautiful girl, she is dressed a little strangely, neither trendy nor retro. Like someone who walks between the reservist group and these elites. But are there such people?

Ariel stood up and smiled sweetly, and gave the professor a classical ladylike salute. Then she answered, her voice sweet and heroic, and that confident or arrogant look made many of you feel uncomfortable.

Ariel didn't like them either, and didn't want to be like them. She is looking for freedom, freedom of her own, she is blindly looking for everything that can arm her to strengthen herself, so that she can withstand all kinds of wind and waves.

"The era of the Great Population Recession refers to the period from 2145 to 2216 A.D., which saw negative global population growth. In 2145 A.D., a mass suicide in Tokyo, the capital of ancient Japan, attracted global attention, and scholars like to use this year as the beginning of an era of demographic depression. During that time, the birth rate was the lowest in human history. The reason for this phenomenon is precisely the development of the productive forces that human beings have diligently pursued to a certain extent. ”

Professor Guo originally wanted to teach this little girl a lesson, hoping to embarrass her, so that she could know that she should listen carefully in the future. But I didn't expect this little girl who had been busy with some messy things to actually listen to her class. Professor Guo, who was in a better mood, nodded and motioned for Ariel to continue.

"In the first to mid-22nd century, more and more industries have shifted to mechanical automation, which has led to the replacement of more and more human laborers. At that time, all countries in the world could not solve this problem, and the root cause was the resource allocation system of each country. Karl Marx, a famous philosopher and sociologist in ancient Germany, conducted an in-depth study on the relationship between people's living standards and the development of productive forces. The great population recession is the harm caused to human society by the backward social system when the productive forces develop to a certain extent. During the Great Demographic Recession, despair gripped a large number of people at the bottom of society, and various decadent cultures also rose one after another. Oh, it's a lot like it is now, and that's the case with the reservists you despise. ”

Professor Guo was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hung into a smile that could not be hidden. This kid is very smart and clever. "Tell me about the end sign." Hearing this, Ariel pouted and continued: "There is no sign of an end, and the governments of the world at that time also implemented many policies, but they were all useless solutions that could not cure the root causes. In the end, the population is really small enough, and the oil flowing from the fingers of the capitalists is enough to make the people at the bottom rich. Only then did the birth rate rebound. It was also during that period that the rudiments of the reserve system appeared. ”

"Alright, okay, sit down. Yes...... Which student will review the reserve system? "This kid is not only smart, but also a little pepper. As a teacher, I should still train and discipline me more carefully. Professor Guo is very proud of his work, and he is excited to be able to nurture talented seedlings into pillars.

"I'm not done yet." Ariel muttered quietly and sat back. At this moment, a handsome young man stood up, he first bowed to Professor Guo, and then turned to Ariel's direction and smiled and nodded. Before he turned around, he began to speak, "My name is David Links. As the boy turned around, Ariel stuck out her tongue and muttered, "My name is David Links......." Cut, is it very good? "David has beautiful curly blond hair, very similar to Ariel's color, but you can see that David is born, and Ariel's is dyed, no one knows how she got such a color, ancient and not trendy, it is easy to remind people of one word, that is, earth.

"The so-called reserve system is a social security system, and all citizens have the status of reservists from birth. Even if a citizen has never worked from birth to death, there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Because the main financial expenditure of the federations is on the reserves. It can be said that the reservist is the first profession of every citizen, and the identity of a scientist or an artist is our second profession. The reserve system guarantees people's livelihood and maintains social stability. ”

Hearing this, Ariel packed a wide eye and flew to the back of David's head. David turned around as if sensing the roll of his eyes, looked at Ariel and smiled again. "But my opinion, like Ms. Lu, is that this is a rotten and useless system. It does not motivate the general public, and even raises a lot of useless parasites. The spiritual gap between the rich and the poor is more terrible than the material one, and our human society has not been able to effectively solve this problem. I even think that the current society is more ideological solidified than it was more than 1,000 years ago, and that the Renaissance movement in ancient Europe was a great social change, and this is something that we aspired to but failed to achieve. It's sad, if we can't solve these problems, then no matter how well-dressed we are, we are essentially a bunch of ancient barbarians. ”

Professor Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead, he thought that naughty little pepper was very funny before, but now he looks at it...... Why do the students in this classroom look like explosives bags?

"Ah, because of the time, this lesson ends here. Once again, I recommend you to read Mr. Mendes's "The Evolutionary History of Human Society", many of his ideas are worth considering. Do not slack off in seeking knowledge, and combine knowledge and action. ”

The students stood up and presented the teacher, "Do not slack off in seeking knowledge, and combine knowledge and action." ”

Ariel rejects David's offer and returns to her apartment. I still have a lot of things to do, so how can I spend time on eating. The glider has just just begun to be assembled, and it is necessary to squeeze out time for testing. and also asked a Han Han to explore together in "The Second Realm". When Ariel remembered that Hanhan, a smile unconsciously hung on the corner of her mouth.
