Chapter 268: The Fifth Year
In the blink of an eye, it is already the 5th year that humans have come to this planet.
Five years is enough time to make earth-shaking changes in the entire civilization, whether it is industrial, military, or humanistic.
The industrial capacity of the surface industrial base is gradually catching up with the Earth Era. The government is considering the establishment of a real star port in the next 20 years, and then gradually transfer the population on the spaceship to the planet.
Although the "Earth Era" spacecraft is huge, the population of more than 400,000 people engaged in production activities on it still seems a little crowded. If these production activities are the opposite, there is not much problem for a planet, a planet has enough space to accommodate more people.
And on the military side, there are more than 200 nuclear warheads of all kinds, including atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and helium-3 nuclear bombs!
The number of small electromagnetic cannons also exceeds 50, including a large electromagnetic cannon built on the surface of the satellite, and the speed of electromagnetic cannonballs can even reach one-twentieth of the speed of light, that is, 15,000 kilometers per second!
This kind of military capability, in addition to the lack of offensive capability, is more than enough for self-preservation.
Therefore, in the overall peace situation, the productivity has begun to deliberately tilt towards people's livelihood, especially the plan for the incubation of babies with artificial womb technology is being carried out in an orderly manner.
The TV showed the image of Captain Zhao, who was reporting on the work report of the past few years.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fifth year that we have arrived in the Gliese 581 star field, and the past year has also been full of achievements."
"Externally, we have made good diplomatic progress, achieved general peace, and achieved some cultural exchanges."
"In terms of population, the number of people born naturally in the previous year was 1,055. We have hatched 10,000 babies through artificial womb hatching technology, saving our precarious birth rate. ”
"More than 20,000 babies are expected to ...... next year"
"About 25,000 babies will be born the year after next year, and the population growth rate will be controlled at about 4-5% in the long term......"
Listening to these reports, Xu Jie yawned in every possible way, what kind of baby or something, it didn't have much to do with him. Even though 10,000 new babies were born and occupied a lot of resources in society, with the transfer of industry, the quality of life of ordinary people has not declined, but has increased a lot.
Because I don't have to fight!
"10,000 babies is not much, it's just a 2% population growth rate."
"I don't usually see these children, so I kind of want to volunteer in the nursery."
"Just you? Three-minute heat ...... I'm annoying you to cry! Wang Junpeng died of disgust.
Because there is no need to fight, the quality of life has improved, and Xu Jie's mobile phone repair shop has miraculously not closed down. It was crowded with people, all around watching TV, and because of this TV, the business in the store was inexplicably much better.
"There are some collective education systems that still learn from the Gliese people...... "Wang Junpeng commented as he knocked on the melon seeds.
Although he no longer has a stake in the mobile phone store, he often comes to help in his spare time. As an interstellar diplomat, Wang Junpeng knows more about secrets, except for some things that shouldn't be said, and it's not fun to chat with the crowd around him about what has been made public.
People, after all, there must be a little pursuit. He Wang Junpeng is a layman, and now he doesn't pursue profit, isn't he allowed to chase his name?
"Yes, that's right...... The whole educational environment is closed, and the intersection of children and adult society before the age of 14 is not too large. ”
"So, isn't the campus open to the public?"
"With the exception of the principal and a few teachers, the vast majority of teachers are robot teachers. Children sometimes come out of the school to practice socially, and then we will be able to see it, but it will take years, and now they are all lying in the cradle! ”
"And what do they eat?"
"Nutritional milk powder, of course...... That's not what the cows in the underground base are for. ”
Seeing that everyone was chatting energetically, Xu Jie really didn't have much interest in paying attention to these. It's good to play with a child or something, don't say he doesn't have love, he just hates that kind of crying sound.
"Gone! I went to watch a movie with my girlfriend. After about an hour of walking on the mountain, Wang Junpeng looked at his watch and set off in a hurry.
"Eat, eat!" The others gradually dispersed, and he was suddenly the only one in the mobile phone store.
If there is one thing that has changed the most over the years, it is...... There was an extra TV in the room, which was produced by the new civilization itself. There are only two or three television stations, and in addition to news broadcasts, sometimes some movies and music are shown, including films about humans and movies about the Gliese civilization.
Still, he's quite satisfied.
Thinking back to the period of preparation for war in the first two years, it is simply ...... What a hellish life!
"Damn, Gliese civilization...... There was no war. ”
"Not bad, actually."
Xu Jie turned off the TV, walked out of the door, prepared to have dinner, took a walk by the way, exercised, and really couldn't find a girlfriend if he became a fat house.
"Huh? Lao Fang, go to dinner? When I looked up, I saw an acquaintance. ”
"No, it's a holiday, and the school can visit, so I'm going to visit the kids."
The old party next door also suffered a lot in order to have children, especially in the years when the war threatened, if it weren't for the government's special financial subsidy for childbirth, the poor would almost not even be able to afford to eat fruit.
In the end, the couple couldn't bear this kind of hard life, so they threw their children directly into the government nursery and received a closed education with those artificially hatched children, so that they could only visit them during holidays.
After thinking about it, Xu Jie returned to his shop and sent some fruit to Lao Fang.
The old man said very worriedly: "Thank you so much! But it's still not necessary, the school has rules, and we, the parents, are not allowed to send things to our children. ”
"What? Not even allowed to send things? Xu Jie was surprised.
"How so...... You have to think about other children who don't have parents, it's always bad to be seen by them...... Meetings are all sneaky. Hey, how do you say it...... "The old party is complaining and sighing, since the child was thrown in, the quality of life of the two couples has indeed improved a lot, and they are completely happy and relaxed.
But I was a little uneasy in my heart.
The education in the school is completely free, and sometimes I secretly visit the school and find that my child is doing well, so I gradually relax and don't care so much.
Xu Jie scratched his head, it turned out that there was still this kind of exquisiteness: "Then give it to you to eat, it will be regarded as a New Year's gift." ”
Bidding farewell to the young couple, Xu Jie continued to march in the direction of the restaurant.
Those one-year-old babies are still babbling, right? At such a young age, I don't understand anything, is there so much exquisiteness?
Xu Jie deeply felt that the entire civilization was undergoing drastic changes, in a way that people could barely accept......
Under various new systems, new cultures are slowly being born.
Maybe in 10, 20, 30 years, everything will be different.
