Chapter 214

The first line, suppressing the natural birth rate, is not family planning, but a more gentle way.

Want to have a baby? Yes, no problem at all. There are even certain policies to support individual fertility.

But you have to raise children. The process of raising children is not only a personal affair, but also a public affair of the whole society. They have to have a certain ability, and parents are not so easy to be.

Most of the people on the spacecraft are young people. Except for some kindergarten teachers, it is impossible to have parenting experience, and there is no help from the older generation. The nurturing robot is still in the experimental state for the time being and has not been produced on a large scale, so it is impossible to allocate one to each family.

In order to reduce the occurrence of unqualified parents, please take a certificate - "parent certificate" first.

According to the regulations, both parents have to take the exam. After taking the exam, they can have children.

This naturally "politically correct" thing has certainly won the unanimous praise of the broad masses of the people. After all, the vast majority of people who eat melons have no intention of having children at all. The remaining few people can only accept it. Giving birth directly without taking the certificate will be unanimously condemned by public opinion.

With such a small population, life will become very difficult if it is despised for a long time.

As a result, these parents found that. The difficulty of textual research is much higher than expected. It may not be possible to pass the test several times, including the rebellious periods of children, when to supplement what nutrition, how to spend the rebellious period, etc.. The problem is very difficult.

Some people simply don't bother to give birth to such trouble.

The second is to advocate eugenics.

At present, the new civilization is full of waste. Although the current living conditions have increased a little, there is still no such thing as milk powder. There is not even a cow. The cow has yet to be cloned from the artificial uterus

Diapers, pacifiers and so on are certainly impossible.

Well, anyway, there are no such material conditions. These are objective facts. The whole civilization does not need these, but it takes time to accumulate to produce these resources.

If you are determined to have children under such circumstances, find ways to overcome the difficulties you encounter

In particular, the long-term public opinion propaganda has made everyone form a natural thinking that "it is the basic accomplishment of a responsible adult not to have children casually under immature conditions."

"I'm so poor that everyone is still digging and farming."

"Ran 20 light-years just to have a baby? Aliens will be laughed to death by you. "

"I'll die a few years later. It's so urgent."

In addition, the higher the educational background, the lower the fertility will, which is also an objective law.

In this way, with the cooperation of the objective environment and subjective policies, the birth rate of the whole civilization is naturally kept relatively low.

The low birth rate has made some people of insight jump their feet and appeal to everyone to let go of life. But this will itself cannot grow by appeal... Who wants to have ten children like pigs?

After thinking about these objective factors and sorting out his ideas, Zhang Yuanyang started and walked into the conference room.

This scientific conference was quite grand. All the data in development were known, but they were grandly released in an official form.

Captain Zhao solemnly delivered a speech on the stage: "... This year's work tasks have been completed successfully, or even overfulfilled. I am very grateful to everyone for their hard work and the silent dedication of 60000 engineers on the surface. Without your active labor, there will be no normal operation of this society, let alone our better and better life. "

make love!

There was a warm applause under the stage.

"The first task in the next few years is to develop more cutting-edge science and technology. Earth civilization has left us a lot of valuable heritage, enough for us to enter the real interstellar era. The second is to raise the automation level of all projects. There is still a lot of room for optimization. When the industrial population cannot grow on a large scale, improving the automation ability is the only way to improve work efficiency... "

"There is also the issue of population, a more important issue. On this point, every man of insight should be worried... "

"Population has become an important factor restricting our development. We can't continue many projects because of the small population. You know, what kind of work is the greatest contribution to the whole civilization? "

After a pause of a few seconds, Captain Zhao smiled and said, "it's not mining on the surface, nor being a scientist, nor speaking on the stage like me. But having 10 or even more than 20 children and raising them up, then these parents can be compared to the greatest heroes in the world! "

Some people at the bottom couldn't help laughing. It was just a joke in a serious meeting.

Captain Zhao continued: "... Of course, humans are not pigs. They can't have ten at once. The birth of the next generation is not only a matter of civilization, but also personal freedom. So we can't force childbirth. Coupled with the worrying objective environment, even I don't have children. I'm too busy to have a baby... "

After saying this, there was a long silence in the conference room.

Everyone seems to have expected what will happen next

Then, the highlight is to really solve the population problem!

This population bill should have been proposed by the Minister of human resources himself, but this bill is a key content in the history of new civilization. In addition, the minister's weight is slightly insufficient and his popularity is not enough... Maybe once it is proposed, he will be scolded as a pig by the people.

Only at Zhang Yuan's level and high enough reputation, can the powerful figures of the Ministry of new civilization development smash enough water spray!

Time... Is up.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and got up from the stool.

"Mr. Zhang Yuan, I think you should know what will happen after submitting this motion. If I were you, I would think twice... It has a great impact on us. "

A female member of the Ministry of education suddenly opened her mouth and said, "are we really urgent to use artificial uterus technology to mass reproduce babies? Or... Is it just the selfishness of your whole school? "

Zhang Yuan looked at her with a smile: "is it urgent? I think you know in your heart that I only want civilization."

Both expression and tone are very plain.

But in this blandness, the Congresswoman suddenly felt a biting cold wind from the far north pole.

Deep in the core of the whole civilization, it seems that there is a strong and cold will that is slowly promoting all this. No matter what kind of resistance, it's just a mantis.

Feeling the pressure, she frowned and said, "I'll vote against it."

Zhang Yuan smiled, but his words were not soft: "your objection alone is invalid. We are a democratic society... Of course, you have the right to speak and can refute at any time."

He came to the stage with a stack of documents, steady and leisurely.

A copy of the information is displayed on the big screen.

In an instant, like boiling water, the whole conference room was boiling!

"Program on batch hatching of infants using artificial uterine technology"!
