Chapter 552

There are a large number of retired people and a small number of supplementary people, but the total engineering quantity has hardly changed. The process of compressing the population itself is so painful.

Zhou Hua glanced at the TV and said, "the radicals and conservatives quarreled again when we changed the channel."

"What do you say? What new plans do the radicals have? " Wang Haifeng ate two peanuts and asked.

Times are changing, and human society is naturally changing.

According to the conventional sense, conservatives are the forces that have been extended from the new human government.

They firmly believe that mankind needs to achieve this great goal. Predecessors have made efforts for 800 years, and it will be completed in 600 years. How can we give up halfway?

This force has been firmly promoting the progress of the goal, including the extraordinary people returning from the virtual world. They are basically members of the Conservatives. Even if this promotion is breeding public resentment and slowly consuming the credibility of the whole government... As long as the plan is completed, all contradictions can be solved.

The radical is the latest political force. They are not satisfied with the current situation of human civilization and try to launch a series of internal reforms. The first thing to bear the brunt is to improve people's happiness.

At present, in order to achieve this goal, it has spent the vast majority of the productivity of the whole civilization, the quality of life has declined, and the people are complaining. Even some people begin to choose to shorten their life, retire early and enter the virtual space, which is definitely not normal behavior!

Of course, the radicals also believe that the big goal must be completed. If it is not completed, we will make enemies with the TOS civilization. But how to finish it well and quickly is another problem.

"... it is immoral and inhumane to kidnap a person's life on the wheel of the whole civilization!"

Zhou Hua imitated the empty political slogans of radical leaders and burst into laughter.

"Human beings need freedom and the right to freely choose their own work..."

"After graduation, students should not be accurate screws!"

"At present, this kind of brainwashing education needs to be vigorously reformed."

People who are a little older know that this kind of slogan is difficult to achieve. It is very simple to shout a slogan. It's beautiful, but how to really realize it?

Wang Haifeng said, "you're wrong. More people don't think about whether this series of slogans are childish and can be completed. They only care about the position of these slogans and whether they can meet their deep wishes."

In fact, human beings have a strong tendency, that is, they have their own position.

If something is on its own side, even if it is wrong, people will choose to support it.

On the contrary, if the position of something is not on its own side, people will despise it even if it conforms to objective facts.

The ass is crooked. Everything is crooked.

Although the citizens of the new human civilization have received a good education, there has been no change in their nature. At present, people's grievances are gradually accumulating, and people's positions are slowly changing.

What politics stresses is hat management. What do you mean? In other words, we have to put a high hat on the people to obtain a sense of psychological superiority.

New human civilization has witnessed many stories in history, the decline of earth civilization and various low-level civilizations that can not develop.

Compared with this kind of civilization, people have a sense of moral superiority.

In order to maintain this sense of superiority, I don't mind sacrificing some of my own interests to pursue "civilization and progress", that is, the goal pursued by the new civilization school.

But now? Working here day and night, the mainstream trend of thought is changing slowly, and the high hat is about to fall off.

Life is not satisfactory, at least compared with the past, it is not as satisfactory as expected... Then people need to vent.

The easiest way to vent your emotions is to scold the government for inaction. Maybe everything will get better with another government

This has never changed in tens of thousands of years. People feel that as long as they take the lead, they can definitely be better than now.

"Doesn't that sound ridiculous? We're all in the interstellar age, and it's the same. "

Wang Haifeng sighed, "I've been reading history books recently and found some very interesting things. In the 21st century, there was a small country with frequent regime changes and people often took to the streets. Do you know why they marched on the street? "

Zhou Hua said, "the economy is bad."

"Wrong, they want more social welfare!"

Zhou Hua wondered, "isn't social welfare an economic problem?"

Wang Haifeng said with a smile, "no, no, no, they don't consider economic issues... They just want more social welfare. They elect whoever gives them social benefits. "

"And then?"

"Of course, change the government. The old government was ousted because the new government promised to increase social welfare. "

"After a change of government, I found that I had no money at all. I couldn't do it unless I borrowed money from foreign countries to issue welfare benefits. The promise was not fulfilled, so the people quarreled and continued to change the government. "

The current government is also facing the same problem. In fact, a series of living resources such as clothes, food, housing and transportation are very abundant, but people are still not satisfied.

People want more rest time. This desire is not unreasonable, but at this time point

Similarly, a series of slogans put forward by the radicals are indeed provocative to a certain extent. A lot of young people respond. They don't care much about how to realize the process. They only care about better results.

Even if the result is likely to be illusory and impossible, they will still believe it.

"With the death of the old and the serious aging, people's work pressure is increasing. The political power of radical factions has also begun to rise gradually. It is no longer the same as before. It was just a drizzle a few decades ago. "

"Social change is really complicated." Wang Haifeng shook his head and ate another peanuts. "However, many historians of new civilization have foreseen this problem hundreds of years ago. It's too powerful."

"But they did not propose a solution. Perhaps there is no solution in itself. It can only be solved through tolerance."

"Or... In fact, there are some solutions, but these solutions are not easy to use and will cause more trouble?"

He is not very interested in radicals and conservatives, but he also knows that there must be no internal chaos at this moment.

There is a premise: the whole big project plan can not be abandoned.

Don't watch the noisy TV programs. The vast majority of citizens are silent. Relying on social inertia, they will continue to carry out the work at hand.

The power of the radicals is far from enough to overthrow the rule of the Conservatives. Even they themselves dare not give up the plan and can only play a marginal ball.

New humanity holds bilateral talks with TOS civilization every year to release the construction of planetary engine of this civilization and supervise each other. How much work we have done and how much driving force each engine provides can be seen at a glance with professional instruments. Both sides must be honest.

However, after one or two hundred years of "honeymoon period", friction gradually increased, because there will always be some mistakes in the construction of planetary engine.

If we make mistakes, we should condemn each other and produce contradictions.

Fifty three years ago, a planetary engine on the new humanity side broke down and went out for 33 days, making the direction of the planet deviate by 0.03 milliseconds!

So the human side was wildly criticized and condemned by the TOS at the year-end meeting, as if the whole plan was about to fail.

Of course, the TOS also made such mistakes and were criticized by the human side.

In a word, every time both sides make a mistake, the fault tolerance rate will become lower. This is just the contradiction caused by flameout. If the two planets collide due to the delay of construction period and the whole plan fails, the two sides have to go to war directly!

"So, the radicals also know their weight. If they really fight, they can't afford the dead. This plan must continue. "

Zhou Hua also picked up a wine glass and took a small sip: "their method is too idealistic. But it sounds like people's lives are better than they are now. "

"At present, there is no way to significantly improve science and technology. The best way is to expand the population and reduce aging. As long as the population expands and more can be done, productivity will naturally increase. "

"When productivity increases, we can strictly control working hours and improve people's happiness."

"Expanding population?" Wang Haifeng mocked: "at that time, the spacecraft in the interstellar trading market will not be able to hold so many people. Who will stay here and die with the neutron star? Or pack people into the virtual space and take them away? "

"Yes, they just want to put people into the virtual space, take them away and abandon their bodies, but the old government disagrees and resolutely disagrees. They are basically opposed."

"Why don't you agree?"

"They said that the laws related to virtual world technology are the key constitution of mankind. They can't touch it unless they have to."

"The radicals feel that such rules and regulations are too rigid. Even if the constitution is designated by people, it can be modified. Now it's a critical moment. What if they are modified?"

They also had differences at this time. Wang Haifeng felt that the constitution could not be changed at will, but Zhou Hua felt it was feasible.

One can be rational, ten people's differences can only be reluctantly wise, and a thousand people can't even be wise. Everyone has their own ideas and can only be constrained by universal values.

What about a civilization? When there are too many people, no one can convince anyone, and you will feel that some inexplicable methods have become good methods.

"Drop!" Suddenly, there was a shrill scream in the contact.

The two people who are quarrelling over it look down one after another. It's not a big deal. It's a machine failure. The intelligent robot can't handle it. It needs to be handled manually.

"I'll go and stop arguing with you."

"Can you drink some wine?" Zhou Hua said with a smile.

"Of course!" Wang Haifeng waved his hand, put on the power armor again, and disappeared into the dark earth.
