Chapter 207: Class (II)
Brady Planet, Circumferential Cross Orbital Ring, Pier F-178.
The Beetle II landing ship that Robin was riding on was a small 5,000-ton starship, so according to their tonnage, their USS Valiant landing ship was lined up in the small ship berthing area of Area F. After the landing ship entered the dock and turned off the engine, Robin and the others did not immediately disembark, but obediently stayed in the cabin according to the prompt of the electronic prompt sound of the dock, waiting for the automatic towing track to load the 'Brave' into a unified hangar shaped like a container in order.
"Hey...... I feel like we're like a sardine can, waiting to be crated on an assembly line track. ”
Sitting in the cockpit bored, Johnny held a cigarette in his mouth and pillowed his hands behind his head, looking playfully at the neatly arranged and countless starships outside the ship's window being loaded into containers by tracks.
"The efficiency of this assembly line is really amazing, and thousands of cans of 'sardines' have been packed in ten minutes." Robin followed Johnny's joke, but everyone in the cockpit immediately understood what Robin meant.
In just two or three minutes, thousands of small ships entered the hangar, and for example, there were at least twenty people on one ship, which means that in these ten minutes, tens of thousands of people entered Brady Planet just at Pier 178 in Area F. If you calculate the time of one day, this number can reach the terrifying millions of people, and you must know that this pier is only the 178 pier in the F area, even if there are only 178 piers in the entire F area, the daily passenger throughput of the entire F area will reach hundreds of millions of people, and then if you count the special mooring area for other tonnage starships in Brady Planet in addition to F area, then in one day, the number of people on Brady Planet is a little huge and scary.
Carefully tasting the meaning of Robin's words, Li was suddenly surprised that he didn't even notice the cigarette butt falling from his mouth.
"God...... How many people really are in this Hoffman Empire...... Could it be that they have hundreds of billions of people? ”
It was no wonder that Li was so surprised, because the current population of the Nine Star Republic was only three billion, which was less than half of the population of the earth in the old era. The population of the Raymond Federation, although slightly larger, will definitely not exceed eight billion people. Now, based on the number of floating people in this dock, the population of the Hoffman Empire alone will almost exceed the population of the Republic and the Union combined.
"**~ These imperial animals are all stallions, how can they give birth so much~ Even if they are doing that twenty-four hours a day, sixty-one years is not enough time to produce so many cubs~" Carey threw a sobering candy into his mouth, and asked in disbelief while chewing on the 'click'.
Robin and Zhuo Luo glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly: "They have human cloning technology, and they have been using it for decades......"
"Clone...... No wonder ......"
As early as on the way to Brady's system, Robin had already introduced the national conditions and characteristics of the Hoffman Empire to everyone, including the unique cloning technology of the Hoffman Empire. However, until they saw it with their own eyes, except for a few far-sighted people such as Robin, most people did not personally feel the shocking power of this technology.
As Carey just said, even if all the men in a country can do that 24 hours a day, it will not have a big effect on the growth of the population base of the whole country. This is because, if it is based on normal childbearing, it is not men but women who will be the decisive factor in population growth.
According to the human reproductive cycle and the physiological structure of a woman, under normal circumstances, even if a woman has been giving birth to children all her life, she can only give birth to about thirty at most. And according to the actual situation, it is impossible for a woman to spend all her life energy on giving birth. Therefore, in this space age, the slow rate of population growth has become the primary problem of the human world.
However, the Hoffman Empire solved the constraints of human physiology in a different way a few decades ago. Using human cloning technology, he has continuously cultivated a large number of replicants, and relied on the large amount of labor provided by the increasing population number in geometric multiples, rapidly increasing his national strength at a rocket-like speed, and in this way, all the human kingdoms in the galaxy have been left far behind.
When Robin talked about this in the past, everyone knew about it, but the degree of understanding was far less real than what they had seen with their own eyes. Only by witnessing this sea of people like this now, can we sincerely feel the subversive changes brought to the human world by the birth of this technology.
"Boss, I heard that in the Hoffman Empire, replicants are slaves?" Curiosity about Johnny's clone sparked curiosity, and he asked in detail about replicants in the Hoffman Empire.
"I guess so, I don't know, but I've heard A095 say something about the situation in the Hoffman Empire." Robin smiled, and began to slowly recall in his mind what Anse El replicant A095 had said when he was on Planet Wendini, in order to win him over.
According to A095, the Hoffman Empire is determined by the merits of genes, and the advantages and disadvantages of genes can be inherited by blood to a large extent, so it is precisely for this reason that the Hoffman Empire will adopt the feudal aristocratic feudal system. Well...... Like Ansel? Oswald, who came to the Hoffman Empire at the age of five to undergo genetic evaluation, and his DNA was classified as first-class in the imperial genetic sample evaluation, so he was directly awarded the title of Lord of a foreign land. At that time, if he was willing to swear allegiance to Hoffmann the Great and officially become a member of the Hoffman Empire, he could even directly receive an official imperial title of nobility when he reached adulthood. ”
Except for Zhuo Luo and Li, who had already known about these things, most of them had heard of these secrets for the first time. So, when Robin mentioned that he would be able to obtain the Imperial knighthood with just one DNA test, there was a glint of excitement on everyone's faces.
"So...... If we go to test our DNA, we can also go to mix with the aristocracy? Carey asked, leaning over on tiptoe.
"If A095 is telling me the truth, it should be okay." Robin laughed and punched him.
"Isn't that a big gift from the aristocracy? This...... I don't understand, what benefits can that Hoffmann the Great get in this? Compared to Carey, Sierra was obviously thinking deeper, and suddenly showed a look of incomprehension.
"Replicants are slaves, even aristocratic replicants are slaves. The more excellent the nobles, the better the replicants cultivated by their genes, the more valuable they are. Think about it, in this age of space, there are far more stars than humans, so what is a more precious resource than humans themselves? Seeing that Seyla showed a look of sudden realization, Robin smiled and said, "In the Hoffman Empire, everyone is engaged in the slave trade. Scholar, warrior, mechanic, strong man...... There may be differences between their genes and whether they are noble or not, but as long as they prove that their genes are the best in the same type, then they can use their genes in exchange for rewards, and I heard that even if those women with excellent looks have no special talents, the talent of her beauty is also a valuable gene. ”
“……”
Robin's ridicule immediately made Seira stunned, and most of the guys around him were not honest people with good character, and when he heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Robin's words, and began to cover his mouth and look up and down Seira with a naked gaze.
