Chapter 3 Lecture Hall
Many people had already gone downstairs to line up at the corner to get their ballot papers, Luo brought his driver's license, and Rick followed the two old men and took the elevator down. There are a lot of people queuing up below, but because the government attaches great importance to it and it is managed by the army, it is very efficient. Within a few minutes, it was time for Roo, who handed over his driver's license, and a military staff member took it and returned the ticket along with his documents with a swipe on a white recognizer in a cube. In country M, there are three things that can prove citizenship, one is a driver's license, one is a passport, and there is a social security number.
After Rick took the ticket, it was an envelope, and after opening it, there was a document sheet stamped with the official seal of the United Nations, which read, "The World Coalition Government Act, adopted by the third session of the United Nations General Assembly, reads as follows: 1. In order to better implement the first five-year plan of mankind, it is necessary to establish a central authority of mankind, which is responsible for the formation of a coalition government of various countries, and after the establishment of a coalition government, the previous debts of various countries and any disputes in social history will no longer exist, National and global resources are also mobilized by the coalition government. 2. The United Nations General Assembly shall promulgate a unified public law of humanity, enacting laws that encompass the entire human race, to be uniformly enforced by the coalition government. 3. The first five-year plan led by the coalition government is to push mankind into a science-based society, and science-based education will be carried out regardless of borders, races, ages, time, and wealth, and the coalition government will establish a number of scientific and technological research institutes around the world to promote the process of space-space of mankind. Fourth, the coalition government will gradually abolish and abolish some industries that are irrelevant to the process of human spacecraft, the world's economic expenditures will be focused on the military, aerospace and other heavy industries, and a unified social welfare system will be gradually promulgated, and the organizational form of social development will be completely changed. Fifth, for the sake of human civilization, the family planning policy will be implemented. The establishment of the coalition government is to meet the needs of the rapid development of society, the United Nations General Assembly has the world's legislative, administrative and supervisory powers, the permanent council of the five major powers has been renamed the Earth Security Council, and is the highest authority, has the final decision on the bill adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, and the coalition government is the executive organ of the United Nations General Assembly and the permanent council. "At the bottom of the ticket, if you agree with the above proposal, you have to go to another reception gate to have your fingerprints taken, and if you don't agree, you need to fill out a declaration of disagreement and then sign it. In addition to Roo, Rick and the two old men all put their fingerprints, and only Roo chose no and wrote a disagreement in a separate place.
On the way back, Rick asks Roo why he doesn't agree, and Roo says that it will cost her current high-paying job.
Early the next morning, Rick went to school, the streets were bustling, many CPs were talking and laughing on the college road, and when he arrived at the school gate, he saw Sam with a tired face, Sam's family is a middle-class family, Sam suffered from a digestive disease when he was young, and the body's nutrition could not be replenished from eating in time, and the hospital did not have a better solution, the only thing was to add two more meals a day, and then after continuous conditioning and treatment, the organs also returned to normal, but the habit of five meals a day could not be changed, It continues to this day. Since then, a dynamic "spiritual guy" has been born.
"Sam, what's going on? You look degraded. "At this time, there are the most people in front of the school, and there are also the most people in the morning classes, because the weather is cooler in the morning, and most of the classes are concentrated in the morning.
"My parents were unemployed last night and they're coming back recently" Sam had a pained look on his face.
"Aren't your parents in TSNIA?"
"Yes, but last night the TS government took over my parents' building materials factory and sent them back for a small fee."
"Does it have anything to do with voting?"
"That's right, governments around the world are expropriating local foreign factories, because of the formation of coalition governments, multinational factories and enterprises no longer have much meaning."
Soon, after passing through several high-end white buildings, Rick and Sam arrive in class, which is political science, which is the major that Rick and Sam are studying. Originally, Rick planned to take the civil service exam after graduation, but the current world development situation is far from ideal. Now, the voting is not over, and various localities have begun to streamline their institutions, abolish some departments or lay off employees, and many civil servants have already been dismissed.
"Leave it to fate! Don't be so sad, my buddy, I just saw that Lillian was going to have a ball this afternoon. ”
When the fat man heard this, he instantly mentioned it, but soon he lost his spirit, and in the classroom, other students were not interested in listening to the class.
"There are five minutes left, ladies and gentlemen, today will be our last class, I will be retired after the bell rings, there are a new batch of physics professors and astronomy professors in the school, you will soon start learning some cutting-edge physics." In the lecture hall, a political science lecturer with a high nose wearing a pair of glasses said, and suddenly, the air fell silent, as if it could no longer circulate, and everything became silent.
"Oh my God, we're going to study physics!" The lively ghost punk in the class was surprised.
"Not only that, but you also have to study computer science, integrated circuit design and integrated systems, information and communication engineering, automation, big data technology, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, nuclear power, etc., and I am one of you. Soon there will be two great wealth in the world, part of the flow to the heavy industry of military science and technology research and development, part of the flow to education, the popularization of higher education will inevitably promote the progress of society and the rapid development of science and technology, the process of human spaceization is not the efforts of a part of the people can be realized, which requires a large flow of resources, this is a fact that we can not change, but it is worth being excited that your space dream is about to come true, and the changes in the next ten years will be greater than the social changes from the first industrial revolution to the current information revolution. Do you know what the first five-year plan for humanity was launched by the United Nations? At this time, the bell rang for the end of class, and the lecturer put down his glasses and continued, obviously having been brought to a climax by his emotions: "The first five-year plan of mankind is to send 100,000 skilled workers and 10,000 scientific researchers to the moon to establish the first outer space base of mankind, the moon is rich in mineral and solar energy resources, and only the nuclear fuel helium-3 on the moon can meet the energy needs of the world for hundreds or even thousands of years." Many popular science magazines and scientists have said that the moon is the first station of human interstellar voyage and the transit station of interstellar migration, as long as a stronghold is established on the moon, many things can achieve self-sufficiency and industrial development there, when I was young, I also dreamed that one day I could see the deep space in the space capsule, the vastness of the universe has attracted countless scientists and people, but due to the economic and social obstacles that are about to pass, the human space industry is still in the earth's orbit, Because of the imbalance between input and output, no country is willing to invest huge resources in space exploration all the time. ”
"For example, let's take our country as an example, in the ABL program in the seventies and eighties of the last century, our country already has manned space technology, but in recent years, except for the launch of some information products, that is, a large number of satellites, we do not seem to have invested financial resources in outer space exploration, although our economic strength has always maintained the world's first. This is an economic and social obstacle, all inputs must be proportional to outputs, and projects that do not see real benefits will be stranded. ”
"The difference now is that we humans have learned that we are not alone, and we have found that our technology is very backward, which makes the leaders of the world start to worry, so that humanity has the opportunity to take the first step in space exploration, and those scenes from science fiction movies will become reality. In recent years, it is estimated that our quality of life will decline, because most of the society's investment will go to the space industry, and the progress of agricultural production needs to be popularized in a few years before it can be effective, but emerging science and technology is different, because of the shortage of funds and resources, 90% of the projects that have been suppressed, it will appear an explosive period, many projects will be carried out at the same time, there will be many scientific and technological breakthroughs, and it will become the biggest driving force for the process of human space. ”
The class bell rang, and there was no movement outside during the end of class just now, probably a farewell ceremony that was being played simultaneously in each class.
"Students, goodbye" The lecturer lifted his glasses again, retracted his excitement, and walked out calmly.
The lecturer's words deeply affected Rick, who hadn't thought about it that much before. After leaving the church, Rick walked down the street, the buses and pedestrians on the road were still the same, and the cars coming and going, Rick looked like the last breath of the backward feudal system during the Industrial Revolution, and the world would soon have a new look.
In the afternoon, when Roo returned home, Rick noticed that Roo's demeanor was very similar to Sam's, and sure enough, Roo's job was also lost, and the global unemployment rate has risen rapidly in the past few days, and an unemployment crisis has spread rapidly.
Sam called, "Hey buddy, see you in an hour, this may be the last dance party we'll be to, while there's still this mood and opportunity, go have a good time, the informant I said has arrived" Sam hung up the phone.
Rick simply comforted Luo Ou, and went back to the room, there is no job, in fact, there is not much to do, after a few days, there will be something to do, in the meaning of the lecturer, the reason why such a person is unemployed is also for the rapid advancement of the education reform plan.
Looking at the only set of white dresses in his hand, which Rick bought when he graduated from high school to attend the graduation party, he has been with Rick for three years now. Rick carefully put it in the storage bag and put it in his backpack, and the scene problem depended on it for a while.
