Chapter 230: Project Eden
The Eden Project, a large-scale social project promulgated by the World Government through a resolution of the Council of Lords throughout the territory of the consular district.
In the 92nd year of dawn, affected by the economy, war, social policies and other aspects, the declining birthrate and aging population in various places have intensified, the world fertility rate has reached an inflection point, and the population has continued to decline.
In order to cope with the stagnation of social development caused by population decline, the world government and the three major enterprises jointly developed a mature artificial womb technology, and passed the far-reaching "Artificial Baby Act".
The Act provides for the right of world government authorities to use human germ cell repositories to grow human embryos directly in artificial wombs, where appropriate.
Since then, "reproduction", the act of determining the survival of a population, no longer depends on the relationship between the sexes, but can be done in the laboratory.
You don't give birth?
It's okay, the lab can make it.
Build as much as you lack.
However, the passage of the Artificial Baby Act only solves the problem of "reproduction", not the problem of "nurturing".
Because these artificial babies are man-made products, there are no "parents" in social relations, who will raise them after they are born? How to raise? What do you do when you grow up?
You can't create a bunch of scum who no one will discipline you, and when you grow up, you won't do anything, and you will be a moth every day with a minimum security fund, right?
The later Plan of Eden was enacted in response to this problem.
In the 104th year of Dawn, the world government built thousands of large-scale "Garden of Eden" throughout the territory.
The so-called Garden of Eden is a closed management institution similar to a school, jointly invested and operated by the world government and private capital, and is specially used to house and cultivate artificial babies born in those laboratories.
Artificial babies will grow up and live in the Garden of Eden, and the education and training staff will provide them with food and lodging, knowledge education, and three-view shaping.
Then they will be differentiated according to their acquired abilities, cultivated into different talents, and sent to different social positions when they grow up.
From the first cry of an artificial baby to the age of 18 and into society, the entire process of raising the baby was completed by the Garden of Eden.
Since then, the development of history has been completely detached from objective laws, and human beings have completely grasped the fate of the rise and fall of their own populations.
This is the "Eden Project" that has had a profound impact on the world of Dawn.
Daystar Garden of Eden, which is a Garden of Eden located in the quiet new area of Crescent City.
Before crossing over, Sumo was very curious about this Garden of Eden.
First of all, it is located in the Anjing New District.
A Garden of Eden, built in a wealthy area and isolated from the outside world, is enough to arouse curiosity.
What's more, today is December 6th, and at 19:23 tonight, this Garden of Eden will explode.
Literally, an explosion.
BOOM。
According to common sense, the explosion of the Garden of Eden in the new area of Anjing is sensational news.
But when Su Mo played the game "Dawn", he didn't see the news at all, and he knew that this was also because Erzhou happened to pass by and witnessed the explosion.
After the explosion, no one reported, no one discussed, and no one even knew about it, as if all traces of existence had been deliberately erased.
Sumo wants to explore Daystar Eden, but in the game, the player cannot enter it by any means.
He specifically asked the producer about this, and the answer he got was - it is not open yet.
As an closed beta game, the main line process of "Dawn" is very complete, but some side stories cannot be experienced because they are not finished, which is not a strange thing.
Su Mo originally wanted to wait for the official version of "Dawn" to be launched and then come to Daystar Eden to explore and see what stories were in it.
Before I could wait, I crossed over.
Su Mo was so busy with all kinds of things that he really couldn't take care of a small Garden of Eden.
Today and the future happened to mention the date, he remembered this matter and ran to take a look.
A game is a game, and there are places where you just can't get in.
But in reality, you don't walk around, and a flying creature will come out and tell you - the area ahead, come and explore it later.
Daystar Eden, like St. Rivran, is inaccessible, but in reality it certainly has a self-consistent environment.
At this time, Su Mo was standing at the gate of the Daystar Garden of Eden
Since the Garden of Eden is closed and not open to the public, it is quite troublesome to enter.
Fortunately, Su Mo has a lot of fame in Crescent City, and he obtained permission to enter the park by making a phone call to find a relationship, and the director of the garden, "Miyaya Hayato", personally came to the door to receive him.
"Hello, Captain Su." Hayato Miyata smiled kindly and shook hands with Su Mo, "You suddenly want to visit the Garden of Eden, and I was quite surprised to receive the news. ”
Su Mo smiled: "I have read the far-reaching "Eden Project" in history books before, and I have always wanted to have a chance to come and see it. ”
Hayato Miyata was very generous and made a gesture of please: "Please, it's very lively tonight." ”
The two walked into the Garden of Eden, and Hayato Miyata took Su Mo for a preliminary tour and introduced him to a series of facilities.
There are classrooms, dormitories, canteens, administrative buildings, etc., and children of different ages live here, they are all artificial babies from the laboratory, born under technological means, without father and mother, only the big family of Eden.
Biologically speaking, they are not much different from ordinary humans, except for the difference in the way they are born.
It's late afternoon.
The babies were lying in the thermostat eating pacifiers, babbling and waving their fleshy little hands, and from time to time there was a cry to attract the attention of the nursery staff.
Young children are arranged to watch the news in the multimedia room, learn about world events, and have special instructors responsible for ideological guidance, cultivate their three views, teach them to support the court, and contribute to mankind when they grow up.
Older girls and teenagers will need to "stay in class", and they will be assigned to different classes according to each person's usual grades, and learn the corresponding liberal arts and sciences.
Children who are sensitive to numbers are taught math, finance, etc., and are likely to become actuaries and work for authorities or big corporations.
Those children with rich imagination will be taken to participate in physical and chemical biology experiments, and may become scholars and scientists in the future, and their names will appear in some heavyweight newspapers.
Children with outstanding physiques will arrange more sports and even get in touch with weapons at an early age, and strengthen the idea of supporting the court, and will become the mainstay of all armies in the future.
As for those children who are not brilliant in anything, they can go into the factory to find a class, and go to the construction site to move bricks.
Although he had known the background of "Project Eden" for a long time, Su Mo was still shocked to see it with his own eyes.
Regardless of the moral and ethical issues involved, in terms of the results alone, the problem of "lack of people" has been erased from human history forever.
After visiting the peripheral facilities, Miyaya Hayato took Su Mo to the administrative building: "Head Su, please come here, I will take you to meet the guests." ”
Hayato Miyata led Su Mo to the top floor.
The moment he opened the door, seeing the scene inside, Su Mo was a little stunned.
