Hearing Wang Junpeng's strange remarks, Xu Jie said in a strange manner: "What do you call the taxes we pay to raise children by others, it's just a social public resource, and it's so strange for you to say it...... You can also have children by yourself, go and earn back the taxes you pay, and if you have two, you can earn social public resources, and you can also contribute to the entire civilization...... If you give birth to ten, you can take advantage of more, and you can also be the hero of the entire civilization! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jie suddenly remembered something, "...... It's not right, we are now in the planned economy, and you have only paid a few dollars in taxes? ”

Wang Junpeng was unconvinced: "I don't pay much tax?" I've made so much money this year, it's enough to raise a child, right? ”

The two stared at each other and debated for a long time, unable to come up with a reason, and there was no particularly strong reason to oppose it.

In fact, what they both said is not quite right, population growth is definitely a positive impact on the current new civilization.

For example, if you pay the social public resources of "1" to raise a baby, when he grows up and enters the society, he can return 10 or even 20 public resources and make everyone's life better. It's definitely a sure-fire deal!

Of course, this kind of buying and selling can be clearly calculated for the entire civilization, and even for a single individual, it is not so clear. Even if the growth period of an infant is only 20 or 30 years, it is a long time for an individual.

Wang Junpeng and Xu Jie have made a lot of money by recycling mobile phones, but ...... As wealthy people in the spaceship, neither of them wanted to have children. Flash Dance

Look at the people around you who have children, what kind of suffering has become?

The old party next door gave birth to a little girl with his daughter-in-law, and he had to get up in the middle of the night to wash diapers! And the cry of the child will come faintly at night, it is simply ...... Nightmares, real nightmares.

In this kind of ghost place, it is impossible to find a servant to help you take care of the children, you can't have money, and you can't have parents to help, everything has to rely on yourself.

The raising robots that the government is studying may be of some help, but the current productivity cannot be mass-produced, let alone a single robot per family.

It's so hard!

"Don't give birth, resolutely don't give birth." Wang Junpeng couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this. He seemed to understand a little bit why the fertility rate was so low.

"You are big, you don't even have a girlfriend, and you still have a child...... Just like you, you still want to be a father? Do you get a certificate? ”

Xu Jie doesn't know why, he can have a bad mouth today, it's just a scolding, but after getting along for so long, Wang Junpeng also knows that this friend is this kind of straightforward character.

"Who said I wanted to be a dad? I'm still a child, so why should I blame myself? I just feel very uncomfortable, this policy is simply very weird...... Well, in order for our civilization to be stronger in fifty years, I ...... Grudgingly accept! ”

Wang Junpeng shook his head and walked out of the door of the room.

30-year-olds...... According to the theory, the lifespan that can be achieved is indeed still a child.

"After 50 years, with a population growth rate of 5...... To be able to reach a population of more than 5.7 million sounds really good, and there are more human resources than there are now, and more industries can be developed. ”

"However, there are only six million people, which is still too few."

Although he made a lot of money, he really didn't have the desire to be a father, especially without the urging of his parents. Most of the astronauts on Earth Age are young people, and without the pressure from their parents, who wouldn't want to play for a few more years?

"It's okay to find a girl to live with and get married...... It's not impossible to find a robot girl......"

Who doesn't have a little bit of physical desire......

New Year's festivities fill the air, and the plants in the central plaza are carefully decorated to look like Christmas trees. There are several speakers playing all kinds of cheerful music, and a group of children who look to be 3 years old are performing theatrical performances.

"Hey, kids, sing along with me...... Red fruit, red fruit, red; Green bubbles, green bubbles, green green green ......"

Robot teacher "Mr. Kim" is leading the children to dance. After a period of familiarity, all the people are no strangers to this beautiful and cute anthropomorphic robot, and they also have a high sense of favor......

What is ironic is that there are also men who confess to him, and there is even more than one!

Of course, this is only a robot teacher, not a robot companion, and does not provide additional services beyond education.

The crowd of onlookers was huge, laughing and applauding.

These children are all small lives born naturally in the past few years, the number is not large, and in the case that everyone is generally very busy, the robot teacher researched by the government is responsible for unified education.

According to Wang Junpeng's vision, these children are all very witty and intelligent, but they are innocent, and they all enjoy the unique happiness from childhood.

It's a wonderful way to look at the next generation......

The children live a simple life in the spaceship every day, and have never touched the home planet, but they also take this kind of life for granted, and their smiling faces are very happy. Naturally, it is impossible to have your own video game console, and a small toy can be happy for a long time.

They spend most of their time with a robot teacher, and as of now, there are few personality flaws. Some are naughty, some are quiet, some love to draw, some love to read, and some little boys like to bully girls, but it is limited to the normal scope of bullying...... If you are bullied, you will be punished by the teacher.

Of course, these children still have parents, and some of their education is done by the family.

"If there are no parents...... I don't know if it's going to work. ”

"Maybe in a few hundred years, it will be common to be without parents...... Who knows? Social changes are always more drastic than imagined. ”

Seeing all this, Wang Junpeng smiled and couldn't help but think back to his father, the old gambler. Yes, an old gambler.

I couldn't help but feel bad.

The gambler has no integrity at all, one second he is still saying "never gamble again", and the next second he is found in the casino, "bet for the last time, maybe you can turn over"!

Anyway, there will always be so many excuses, and hope again and again, in exchange for disappointment again and again.

Looking back on life on earth, the family didn't know how much money they owed, and they were being collected for debts all day long, so that the mother ran away from home in despair, abandoned her father and son, and ran away......

Thinking about it now, Wang Junpeng does not resent his mother, running away is the right choice, otherwise he will not be able to live with this kind of rotten gambler for the rest of his life?

Influenced by his father, Wang Junpeng's living expenses from childhood to adulthood were all earned by himself, including college tuition. He is a big admirer of money and instinctively wants to make more money so that he will have more security.

Even, the main reason for boarding the Earth Age spacecraft is just to pay off debts. Being a volunteer will have a large placement fee, and you will be able to stay away from your unqualified father and the rough world......

Wang Junpeng does not regret the original decision.

"The old gambler gave me life and a clever mind to help him pay off his last debt, and then what does it matter to me whether I live or die...... Alas......"

He shook his head vigorously, no longer thinking about the past on Earth.

No matter what, it's a story from 3,000 years ago, whether the bad gambler died in a coffin or died in the wilderness, has been lost in the dust of history, and it is impossible to know the so-called truth.

It has long been benevolent and righteous.

He clenched his fists, "The past is over, and the current life belongs only to me." ”
