Chapter 212: Civil Affairs

At the beginning of the new year, the long-awaited, "one-day" luxury holiday has finally arrived!

Of course, "one day" is for high-level officials like Zhang Yuan, and the rest of the ordinary civilians still have a 5-day long vacation.

"I haven't had a good rest all year."

Recalling the great changes in the entire civilization throughout the year, Zhang Yuan sighed and sighed.

When I got home, I slept beautifully, and slept lazily until nine o'clock in the morning, and I was very happy. The feeling of happiness after a good night's sleep is something that was unimaginable before.

Then he accompanied his wife to watch a science fiction movie "Under Deep Space", which is a science fiction blockbuster shot by the earth civilization, and all kinds of cool interstellar war scenes made him call it exciting.

Finally, I walked around the newly built ecological park and sat on the lawn and had a simple and simple dinner.

In the blink of an eye, as soon as you close your eyes, time slips away in a hurry.

A day of vacation passed inexplicably......

It can be expected that in the coming year, there will be basically no such holidays, unless it is next year's Spring Festival, maybe you can take another day off.

Even if there was a little regret, Zhang Yuan didn't complain too much, and on the second day of the new year, he started the work of the new year.

At present, there are a lot of large and small affairs, including industry, agriculture, and service industries, all of which require more intelligent robots. Oh, and the newly enacted population policy......

This policy will be officially reported by the media today, and it is already possible to expect the imminent upheaval of the people.

However, judging from the rumors, the current public opinion can still be controlled, but fortunately, most of the people in the spaceship are young people and are still in a state of non-childbearing, and the impact of this policy on them is also a little smaller. Young people are more open-minded and more receptive to new things, and although they complain a few words now, they will be able to gradually accept it after a long time.

When Zhang Yuan returned to his office, he found that one report after another had already filled the entire mailbox, waiting for him to review it.

These reports were all written by people, which shows that many people, like him, did not take much time off. Even these hard-working surface workers don't have much time off, let alone their high-level people.

He quickly threw himself into his work.

“…… As of 12 noon today, the transportation railway between the B3 iron ore resource point and the central industrial center on the surface has been officially completed, and the intelligent train has passed the driverless test, with a carrying capacity of about 6,000 tons per trip. 3 times a day, 18,000 tons of ore can be transported. ”

"It is estimated that two excavators will be put into operation at the B3 resource point initially, with a total daily iron ore collection capacity of 6,300 tons."

Zhang Yuan frowned, that is to say, is the carrying capacity of the train far greater than the collection capacity?

However, there is no way, the complexity of this excavation equipment is relatively high, the volume is large, some key components are brought from the earth, the new civilization can not produce, and some parts have to rely on heavy metal 3D printing equipment to print. At the current rate, only one unit can be assembled in a month.

More high-end industrial machines are preparing to produce various medical devices, on the one hand, drugs and equipment that can delay aging and increase life expectancy. On the other hand, there are equipment related to artificial womb technology, various nutritional equipment, and medical equipment to prepare for the baby boom in the future.

"Fortunately, the current amount of mineral gathering has long been enough for the current use, and the capacity of the surface steel smelter is not even able to consume so much iron ore."

In the development of a civilization, there are always so many bottlenecks, and the excavation, transportation, and smelting of minerals alone will produce so many imbalances. The task of Zhang Yuan's department is to open up the two veins of the entire civilization and prevent overcapacity in a certain industry.

Under this overall planning, even if there are still some big and small problems, on the whole, the whole civilization is still in a vigorous development momentum......

Next, Zhang Yuan's pupils dilated slightly, the new issue of "Time Weekly" should be updated!

……

"The latest news! Geologists have discovered a large uranium mine at a distance of 180 kilometers, the reserves of which could last us for a thousand years based on current electricity consumption! ”

"Various nuclear fission units are being urgently studied. According to people familiar with the matter, because of a small amount of magnetic field on the surface of the planet, almost all of the helium-3 brought by the solar wind has been squeezed out by the magnetic field. Due to the high cost of collecting fusion fuel, the use of fusion energy is not as economical as fission energy! ”

"The latest news! The construction of the ecological park in Area A has been completed, and the ticket price for the visit is only 1 yuan. According to people familiar with the matter, after the Spring Festival holiday, it will be open to the public for free......"

“…… The sci-fi blockbuster "Under Deep Sky" from the earth's civilization was unanimously praised by the audience! ”

“…… The proposal for the mass incubation of babies with artificial womb technology was voted by the Scientific Council! ”

This is the "Time Weekly" published by the new government, each priced at 0.5 yuan, once a week, mainly publishing the big news and events that happened this week. Compared with the rich content, this price is not expensive, and the monthly expenditure is only two yuan, which is basically affordable for everyone.

The main purpose of creating this kind of newspaper is to enhance the transparency of information and enhance the people's sense of social responsibility.

As a citizen of a new civilization, allowing them to experience the feeling of slow progress of civilization will generate a unique sense of accomplishment and belonging. It is precisely because of everyone's hard work that the wheel of history will slowly promote.

This progress would not have been possible without the efforts of all.

The most important content in this issue of the newspaper is the "Act on the Use of Artificial Womb Technology to Hatch Babies in Batches", which was actually ...... Passed!

It's just a big surprise!

As expected, the passage of this bill has made all kinds of bulls and horses take this opportunity to drill out, including the comments of some experts and professors, as well as the cheers of various feminists.

Some feminist activists don't know what to think, and even think that this bill achieves real equality between men and women, men don't have children, women don't have children, and let neutral machines have children. It's a fantastic equality!

There is a mess on the Internet, rational debate is okay, but all kinds of offensive remarks are directly deleted, banned, and even without too many people, intelligent algorithms will monitor the network environment to prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Fortunately, this bill has been blowing in the ears for more than a day or two, as early as the hibernation period, everyone has heard about it, and it doesn't seem so difficult to accept it......

At least there were no protests such as demonstrations during the Chinese New Year.

Anyway, for a bachelor like Wang Junpeng, it seems to be ...... Not bad.

"Hey, the whole society needs a population, and we don't want to give birth, so that's the only way." Wang Junpeng looked at the newspaper, which had already explained the various reasons for promulgating this decision, which was quite pertinent.

Although I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, these reasons are objective facts, and I don't know how to refute them.

"The government raises children, what does it matter to us? and does not forbid us to have children...... I don't know what's bad about it? Xu Jie was burying his head in playing a game, and he said heartlessly, "It's very simple, if this bill is not promulgated, there will still be only such a small population in a few decades, and the progress of industrial development will be slow, and after the depreciation of the machines brought by the earth, all mankind will hang up!" In this case, do those who oppose it want to commit suicide? Can't figure it out......"

Wang Junpeng said: "Of course it has something to do with us, where does the money come from?" It's the tax we pay! We will use the taxes we pay to raise other people's children! ”
