Chapter II Population Issues

Yu Yifeng woke up slowly, slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted by a small bright room, where several nurses in white coats were recording something beside him.

What's the matter, I fainted? How did you lie in the infirmary? He smelled a pungent smell of disinfectant and squinted his eyes to look around, it was a small infirmary. I must have fainted and been sent here.

He felt like he had a real dream, a flock of stars, and a dream that he had become the sun...... I don't know if it's a dream or something else.

His body was covered with various examination instruments, such as heartbeat monitors, brainwave monitors, etc., and there were drips on his arms, and then he looked up at the hanging bottle, which should be glucose nutrient solution.

The two special forces fighters guarding the door had serious expressions, but their expressions were quite stable, and the spacecraft should not be out of control.

Seeing this, Yu Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the fact that his head was still a little dizzy, he felt that he was in good physical condition and did not feel any discomfort.

No...... The whole world seemed to have changed a little bit in his perception, and it seemed to be clearer, and he couldn't put into account this change.

"Mr. Yu, you're awake!" Seeing Yu Yifeng wake up, a young female nurse said happily, "The doctor said that you fainted because of excessive fatigue, and you usually need to pay more attention to rest." I'm going to call the doctor. ”

Before she could finish speaking, she hurried out, probably to find a doctor.

Yu Yifeng didn't care so much, jumped up from the bed, and pulled out the needle himself. He felt that he was fine, and he didn't have time to rest.

"Xiao Li, how long have I been in a coma?" He asked the special forces at the door.

"Report to the captain, ten hours and thirty-six minutes from the time of discovery. Last night, Captain Xu Yunjin was looking for you for something and found that you had fainted, so he sent you here. ”

"We've kept it strictly confidential, and only a small number of people know about your coma."

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng's heart was relieved, he was most afraid that something would happen when he was unconscious. He is now the backbone of the entire ship, and if he suddenly falls, it may cause panic and riots, and no one can be the captain of the Noah except him.

But fortunately, the time of the coma is at night, it shouldn't matter much, Xu Yunjin is still relieved.

Ten hours of rest, probably the longest he'd had in this time, and he felt so energetic!

"Okay, great work!" Yu Yifeng thought for a while, and then said, "You guys go back first, there shouldn't be anything important here." Oh...... Tell the doctor that I'm fine. ”

"Yes!" The two team members saluted in unison.

Xu Yunjin has something to do with himself? Yu Yifeng's heart moved, he got dressed, tidied up a little, and hurried over. What doctors say "rest more" and the like have become the wind in the ears.

"Lao Xu, I thought about it, if we humans want to develop and grow, population is a big problem!" As soon as he entered the door, he said hurriedly.

These words were his heart, when Yu Yifeng was in a coma, he saw more than 50,000 stars. His first feeling was that it was too little, too bleak.

50,000 people, what can be accomplished, you must know that there were 7 billion people on the earth in the original world.

After the agricultural transformation plan and the Noah plan, his first feeling was that the population was seriously insufficient. Although the overall quality of such a small labor force is very high, it still hinders the development of civilization.

"Captain, you're awake!" Xu Yunjin saw Yu Yifeng come in and said in surprise. He is now the captain of the security team, but he still habitually calls Yu Yifeng "captain".

"By the way, what are you looking for me?" Yu Yifeng asked.

Xu Yunjin was stunned, and his expression changed, "Last night, I felt that a sun rose from the bottom of my heart, fiery and hot, I don't know if it was an illusion or something...... I asked other people and had this similar feeling. ”

"The first thing I thought of was you, Captain, and then I came to find you fainting...... Now people are talking about what the Son of God is talking about...... There are more people who believe in Calvin. ”

Xu Yunjin didn't know what to say, he was a firm believer in Marxist materialism, and now there would be such a mysterious supernatural phenomenon, which felt a little inexplicable.

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Yu Yifeng was silent for a moment, and told the scene he saw when he was unconscious, and the two looked at each other, feeling incredible.

"Probably...... What untapped potential does superhumanity have? I've heard that the human brain still has a lot of potential to be developed...... The same should be true for transhumans. After a long time, Xu Yunjin held back a sentence.

"So, what else do you feel?"

"I just feel full of energy, nothing else...... Looks like it should be a good thing? ”

"Since it's not a bad thing, leave the details to Dr. Roman and them to study......" Yu Yifeng shook his head and said.

Since I can't figure it out, I just don't think about it. Xu Yunjin was a pure soldier, not a scientist, he was just depressed for a while, and then he left it behind.

At this time, Yu Yifeng remembered the matter and said, "Lao Xu, I thought about it carefully, our population problem is still a big problem." How many of us are there now? ”

"51,223 people." Xu Yunjin was in charge of the security of the entire spaceship and quickly answered.

"Fifty thousand is just in the early years, alas, it's too little, how is the population distributed?"

"There were 26,298 males and 24,925 females, with an average age of 28.6 years. There are no children, and there are no people over 60 years old, and most of them are of childbearing age. ”

Yu Yifeng nodded, that is to say, the men and women on the spaceship are basically balanced, and the older ones are basically great scientists. Most of them are young people, which Yu Yifeng still prefers.

"So, if people work hard to have children, in a year, we can add up to 20,000 children?"

"This ...... It should be the theoretical maximum. Xu Yunjin sweated profusely, "But it's basically impossible!" We counted that there are more than 1,000 couples and couples in total. Most people don't choose to get pregnant on the moon, so there are very few pregnant women during this time, only 16. ”

"Besides, Captain, our public facilities can't afford to support so many children."

16 people? Too little, too little! With 16 people a year, the human race is not finished?

The current population pyramid is all concentrated in one interval, and there is no one at the top and bottom. Although the labor force is abundant now, there is basically no need to think about supporting the elderly. But what about later? When this group of people gets old, it will bring a serious risk of aging.

When the time comes, this group of people will die of old age, and the population will become smaller and smaller, and won't human civilization be extinct?

To take precautions, Yu Yifeng, as the supreme leader of the spaceship, must think about the future. So, population is really a big problem.

But people are not animals, it is impossible to say that they are born, and it is impossible for the government to designate them, match them in pairs, and then they can give birth to a child.

The reproduction of human beings requires men and women to first produce a spark of love, and then enter the run-in period, after the run-in, get married, and have to be ten months pregnant, and after giving birth, they must educate the child and raise him......

This series of processes consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, many young people nowadays do not like to have children, because it is really too troublesome.

According to the statistics of the planet, the more economically developed the region, the lower the fertility rate; The higher the overall quality, the lower the desire to have children; The more stressed and busy people are, the more they want to have children.

These three were pressed on Yu Yifeng's heart like three mountains, because all the people in the Noah spaceship met these three ......

Yu Yifeng has a headache, he really can't think of any particularly good way, family planning does not exist here, but the reproduction rate is still very low.

"Let's let people fall in love first, talk about it first, and get married first...... We will also introduce a bill to encourage childbearing in the future to encourage childbearing. ”

"Yes." Xu Yunxiang replied dishearteningly, in fact, he was a soldier, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all, and he couldn't think of a particularly good way.

"By the way, what happened to the moon?" Yu Yifeng asked casually.

"Alas, we have already made it a blind date platform, and the effect is not bad." Xu Yunjin smiled bitterly: "But as soon as this incident came out yesterday, it was another uproar, what kind of sun, son of God, the phenomenon of personality worship came out again......"

"I'......ll find Dr. Roman to study this matter clearly," Yu Yifeng shook his head and said, there are still many secrets that have not been solved for superhumans. There was a sudden movement in his heart, if only the Perfection Element could be used on everyone...... Everybody is stronger and smarter, how nice it would be.

As for the cult of personality, there are advantages and disadvantages, and it seems that it will not disappear for a while. He could not discredit himself, so he could only wait for the completion of all the reforms before considering this issue.

"Captain, I suddenly thought of something!" Xu Yunjin raised his voice and said, "Our living environment is too poor, we live in a tin house, a group of people share toilets, who still wants to have children!" ”

"I think it's important to improve the living environment."

"That's right." Yu Yifeng sighed and said, "Next, I want to launch another big project." ”
