Chapter 484: Poor for no more than three generations
In the evening.
The quiet and beautiful street garden becomes noisy and lively, melodious music echoes in the air, and the cartoon-shaped smart vending machine slowly drives along a fixed route, stopping when a customer beckons.
The flowers and plants along the road are neatly trimmed and genetically modified, and the poisonous and aggressive mutations of the past are gone.
It is one of many new cities established by the Imperial Government, with a supercomputing hub planned for a well-planned and ingenious layout, with a variety of state-of-the-art functions to meet the needs of population growth over the next two decades for a high quality of life.
The smooth and clean square is full of pedestrians who come out to play and walk, the largest number of which are young women pushing strollers, and many young children of several years old, all with happy smiles on their faces.
The policy of vigorously encouraging childbirth has led to the rapid growth of the empire's population in recent years, almost every family has more than three children, and the government basically bears all the living and education expenses of the children, without the need for parents to pay extra attention.
"There's already a boom of the old days,"
On the bench on the side of the street, Du Donglin, the first assistant of the empire, tasted the juice and said with emotion: "I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the grand occasion of the comprehensive rejuvenation of human civilization." ”
Qin Feng next to him smiled and said, "This day will not come too late, you will definitely have a chance." ”
Du Donglin was an old man born in the old era, he was only a minor student when the catastrophe occurred, and he had witnessed countless prosperous cities turn into ruins in the flames that fell from the sky, and hundreds of millions of lives were destroyed, and the feeling of pain and loss is indescribable.
Du Donglin is very pleased to be able to see the catastrophe end in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor and the dawn of the revival of human civilization, if he can still witness the day when the empire's population exceeds two billion and completely controls the entire solar system, it can be said that he has no regrets in this life.
Although it is possible for a Star Sea demon like the Rot-Clawed Lizardman to make a comeback, with His Majesty here, there is no catastrophe that cannot be overcome.
Du Donglin thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty's development plan over there has been a change, do you want the empire to enter the wartime system in advance?" Just in case? ”
Qin Feng shook his head with a smile: "It's not needed yet, the empire's industrial production capacity at this stage is enough, and there is no need to waste additional resources." And the god war won't be able to start for a while, so I'll take care of it. ”
In the wartime system, the country's focus will be entirely on the war, and all factories, enterprises, and industrial bases will do their best to produce military equipment and materials. Resources related to people's livelihood will be reduced to the limit, and even food will be rationed.
With the current national strength of the empire, if the top of Kunlun really issued such an order, it could build hundreds of starry sky fleets in a very short time, as well as an astonishing nuclear arsenal, which was enough to turn many continents in the Starlight World into a wasteland world!
It's just that Qin Feng doesn't feel that this is necessary now, although the gods of the God of War system have begun to doubt and wary of him, but they also have their own concerns and can't deal with him as they want, so in the next few years, the safety of the Xingshan Empire can be guaranteed.
In a few more years, Qin Feng was full-fledged, so naturally he didn't have to look at the face of the God of War Church anymore.
"The second-order genetic optimization agent of the Imperial Academy of Sciences can already be mass-produced, right?" Qin Feng asked again.
"Yes, the cabinet has drawn up a corresponding plan, intending to allocate special funds to build a production base, and strive to achieve a monthly output of 2 million finished drugs within this year." Du Donglin said.
With the level of genetic technology of the empire, the first-order genetic optimization potion had been produced long before the catastrophe, but due to the cost of production, it could not be mass-produced, or the elite of the major powers at that time did not want it to produce energy, so it was best to use it in a very small range.
In the era of highly advanced science and technology, many new problems that have not existed before will appear, such as the social class gap caused by the genetic gap, and the discrimination and injustice that will inevitably lead to many social contradictions.
Compared with the gap in wealth, knowledge and education, and background, the consequences of this genetic gap are more serious, and it is more difficult to make up for it through acquired efforts, and even the descendants of children and grandchildren will be affected.
The ancients said, "You can't be rich for three generations." I believe that the meaning of this sentence is not difficult for many people to understand, but there are not so many people who know another sentence: "Poor, only three generations." ”
Why? Because the poor cannot afford to find a suitable partner to marry and thus reproduce, they are almost dead in three generations.
Taking the main world as an example, looking through the genealogy of the current Chinese people, even if it is an ordinary family, going back more than ten generations, can basically be related to the elite class, even if it is not uncommon to be born in the royal family. Because only such a family can have sufficient resources to ensure that future generations can grow up safely, start a family, and have a high standard of living.
When a large country has been at peace for a long time, the emergence of class solidification is inevitable, and the upper ruling class will consciously or unconsciously promote this change in order to ensure its own interests and those of its family.
The emergence of genetic optimization drugs is undoubtedly great news for them, which can further strengthen the advantages of their own class over the vast number of civilian classes, and this advantage can benefit their children and grandchildren.
The long-term benefits brought by monopolizing genetic optimization pharmaceutical resources are much greater than monopolizing power, wealth, and high-quality education and medical resources, and to some extent, they can allow their descendants to occupy the upper class of society forever.
Therefore, before Qin Feng's arrival, the genetic medicine products in this world were generally extremely expensive, and it was not until he became the emperor of the empire that a series of decrees were issued to open the genetic medicine resources to the general civilian class.
Nowadays, the low-cost first-order gene optimization agent has long been popularized, and its effect is close to that of Starship's F-class gene optimization. The effect of the second-order gene optimization agent is close to the effect of E-level gene optimization.
And in the top-secret laboratory of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the theory of the third-order gene optimization agent has been perfected, and it is believed that it will not be long before a finished product will come out, but the cost is relatively exaggerated.
Of course, in the field of genetic ability potions dedicated to evolutionaries, the Imperial Academy of Sciences has made great progress, and the genetic ability potions from level one to level seventeen have been mass-produced, and the types are more complete, but this is not a resource for the public, they are destined to belong only to the state apparatus like those high-precision weapons and equipment.
In addition, the Academy of Sciences has also made a big breakthrough in the field of anti-aging gene drugs, and the latest drugs can increase the life of users by 25 years, and can be repeated many times. Its main raw materials are basically from some high-level magical beasts in the Starlight World that are known for their strong vitality.
Of course, there are also magic alchemy potions that increase longevity in the Xingmeng world, but only legendary-level potions can achieve similar effects, so they are also exclusive resources for the upper class.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "The second-order genetic medicine cannot be distributed as social welfare, and a relatively high, but not too high, price standard must be set, so that the common class can only obtain it after a certain number of years of struggle." What do you think? ”
The government has the responsibilities and obligations of the government, but the government is not equal to the nanny, to solve all the problems for the people unconditionally, the high quality of life still depends on the efforts of individuals to strive for.
The high-welfare states in Europe in the main world are now experiencing a lot of problems, except that the national finances are overwhelmed and a lot of lazy people are raised, but they have not produced the expected effect on the development of the country.
Therefore, free lunch should not exist in many cases, because it is unfair to those who have paid labor and effort to get lunch, and if they can get high-quality survival resources without struggle, how many people will be willing to endure hardships and struggle? The progress and development of society as a whole has likewise become an empty phrase.
Du Donglin said: "What Your Majesty said is very good, but for the staff of the army and government functional departments, can a lower threshold be set? Of course, this refers to a person who has served the state for a certain number of years. ”
Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, that's it." In addition, the first-order genetic optimization potion will prepare five million pieces for me, and the second-order one million will be prepared for the time being, and I will bring them to the Starlight World. ”
Taking advantage of the last period of peaceful development of the Star Shanian Empire, he plans to use this batch of potions to create a more elite Praetorian Guard legion, so that in the upcoming continuous war, the legions of other great powers will have a more obvious strategic advantage.
Du Donglin said: "There is no problem with this, but ...... Can Your Majesty stay here a little longer? The queen is already pregnant and needs to recuperate in peace, and you should take on your own responsibilities. ”
Qin Feng said a little apologetically: "Okay, this is my responsibility, I should have accompanied them more." ”
Not long after he returned to this world this time, Empress Lin Xihan and Imperial Concubine Xiao Yuehan finally came out with good news, which relieved the high-level of the empire who had been worried.
It's just that Lord Shoufu also tactfully advised, as the supreme ruler of the empire, he can't focus on opening up other worlds, he should often come back to see his own country and see the people around him.
After chatting for a while, the two got up to leave.
Qin Feng then went to his cardinal temple to visit and found that Pope Moqing had just finished presiding over the vespers ceremony and was personally using divine magic to treat a group of believers.
He looked at it for a moment, and found that these believers were civilians in turbulent times, riddled with diseases, and there were many malignant mutant organizations in their bodies, and even the current medical level of the empire was extremely difficult to deal with.
Under normal circumstances, these people would have to go home and wait for death, but since Qin Feng began to spread his faith in this world, these people have found new hope.
The high-level magic of priests and priests is extremely effective in curing these radiation diseases, and most of the patients who have been treated have become devout believers, and it is not uncommon for them to become fanatics.
