“…… We shouldn't have done this, we've been fighting for it for a thousand years, including our predecessors, the previous generation. They have the same anger in their hearts as you do, but they can endure it, just so that the plan will succeed. This is faith, a belief that belongs to humanity. ”

"But this belief has never been able to resist the passage of time......"

"Generations of people have consumed it."

"We are committed to expanding the population by 40 million over the next 40 years and ending the current demographic crisis. During this time, we will transform the original Brilliant Galaxy spacecraft into a spacecraft suitable for long-distance travel, and send people who want to leave to the vicinity of the star 1 light-year away. ”

"There should be a habitable planet there. You can start a new life. ”

"The whole voyage took about 300 years."

"I hope that everyone will do their job well during this period of time...... In another forty years, you will be free. After announcing the decision, the female captain began to wipe her tears.

The people are victorious!

There was a sea of cheers from the crowd. Even if there are still a few people who are not satisfied and want to continue working for forty years, most people are satisfied enough, because if they want to run away now, they will inevitably start a war with the Thoth civilization immediately, and then it will not be certain who will die or live, people are shrewd!

As for the voyage of the next 300 years, a hibernation will pass, and they will be on another planet, living the life they like, and they will no longer have to be like now, discouraged, mentally exhausted, and maintain their work like a zombie.

If an interstellar civilization can't even maintain a rich and prosperous life, then what's the point of becoming an interstellar civilization?

Even the young leader of the radical faction clenched his fists vigorously, he thought...... This is long overdue!

As for whether the next generation will continue to adopt the 10-hour workday, it is not on their radar.

Man is such a creature that if someone has to suffer, then it is enough not to be himself.

What will happen to the 40 million young people in the future, and what does it have to do with them?

They have struggled for so long that they have long had a clear conscience.

Looking at a large number of discussions and cheers on the Internet, the female captain surnamed He sat on the stool dejectedly.

This must be the worst of all!

It's terrible!

Now a sentence has coaxed the people to continue to work and lifted the strike crisis, but what about the time? The promise is to be kept, and who wants to stay here when the time comes? Will the 40 million young people of the future be willing to stay here? People aren't robots.

"Damn, maybe everyone is scrambling to get on the spaceship and head to another planet!" The commander of the military said indignantly: "They are deserters, deserters!" ”

"A bunch of cowards!"

The Captain's Lady sighed again, a great split in the entire civilization had been created, but they still shouldn't give up on it.

There is a frenzy of strikes in the whole civilization, and there are also people who quietly insist on working, these unknown people, who just don't make their voices heard.

She looked at the people in the room, silently pulled out a data storage device, and played a video on the screen.

It is a video file left by the first generation of leaders who formulated the entire 17th plan.

At that time, Zhang Yuan was already the senior leader of the entire civilization, and there were many plans that he had made with his own hands.

He had gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face, and he had fought all his life for his career.

The "implicit magnetic field perception technology" that is now commonly used in the growth period of infants was invented by the team led by Zhang Yuan.

"Implicit magnetic field perception technology" refers to the ability of babies to perceive a trace magnetic field before the age of 1, and these little babies perceive the world with a magnetic field before the age of 1.

And after 1 year of age, it naturally degrades.

Don't underestimate that magnetic field perception can only exist before the age of 1, this practice has a great impact on the development of the brain itself, can greatly improve the spatial sensing ability of human instinct, and does not affect the subsequent daily life after degradation.

It's an amazing technology that has increased human intelligence by 10-15%! Even if it is placed in a fourth-level civilization, it is worth 8,000 or even tens of thousands of amoeba points!

Almost everyone recognized this respected old-timer.

Zhang Yuan smiled on the screen and said, "Hello future friends." It is now Anno 6809, the four hundred years since the launch of the planetary engine program. Our plan is going well, and the whole planet is already slowly moving under the impetus of the planetary engine. ”

The picture presents a scene in full swing, with a large number of excavations under construction and planetary engines rising from the ground.

A large number of people were born during these years, bringing the population of the new human civilization to an all-time high. Many children cheered in surprise as they looked up at the engines that were spewing the plasma flames at the sprays.

But that's already the story of 600 years ago......

Everyone in the conference room was a little embarrassed, time flies, and now the number of planetary engines on the entire planet is much more than at the beginning, and if you persist for a while, you can complete the whole plan.

But the point is that at this time, except for a little mistake.

The female captain sighed.

Who made these engines?

Credit, of course, to the toiling masses who were cheering loudly below.

It would be inappropriate to attribute the failure to these people.

Zhang Yuan continued on the screen: "However, the development of a civilization is not all smooth sailing, and there will be twists and turns. The prosperity we are now does not mean that you will flourish in the future. After 400 years of work, I've noticed that our people are a little tired, less ambitious than they used to be, and even I'm a little tired of myself. ”

"Our economic system is a planned economic system, and we must devote the vast majority of our productive forces to this work. This will not change in the future......"

"Only a national system can do this, a free economy, given 100 million years, but not a tenth of it."

"This video is some of our predictions for the future...... FYI. ”

Suddenly, everyone's spirits perked up slightly.

Although many people think in their hearts, Zhang Yuan can't come up with any good solutions...... Otherwise, people would have used it a long time ago.

"We now have a population of 106 million, a strong industrial force and a rich labor force. Only with such a population size can the entire plan be completed on time and in quantity. In the first 400 years, we have completed more than 50% of the work. For the next 800 years, you will continue to complete the next 50%. ”

"But in the future, the aging crisis caused by the reduction of the population will undoubtedly be the most complex problem for our civilization in the next thousand years. Shrinking the population means that the number of deaths is greater than the number of births, and it means that the whole society is aging. ”

"The population has shrunk by more than half, but the project is not over, which will lead to a series of social problems such as longer working hours per capita and a later retirement age."

"These social problems will easily erupt into the internal contradictions of civilization. The people are the foundation of civilization and the foundation of governance, and without the support of the people, even if our government has great ambitions and loses the support of the people, it will only be rootless water. ”

"This is also because our entire civilization is not enough, and we don't have enough amoeba points to lease more transport ships to the trading market. Otherwise, there is no need for us to shrink the population too painfully. ”

"We apologize for this."

Several members of the room looked at each other and smiled wryly.

They all know what Zhang Yuan said, but what can they do?

Is it necessary to choose the plan to develop two battle stars, and the construction period will be extended for thousands of years for no reason, and human beings can really complete it?

At the moment, it's impossible.

I saw Zhang Yuan continue: "In order to solve this problem, after discussion, we believe that there are several ways that are not the solution......

"First, let people enter the virtual world in advance and accelerate the iteration speed of the human community. In this way, the problem of population aging and the social problems that have erupted through policies such as postponing the retirement age can be solved at the same time. ”
