Chapter 208

The first line is to suppress the birth rate of natural population, which is not family planning, but a more gentle way.

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

But having a baby has to be nurtured. The process of raising children is not only a private matter, but also a public matter of the whole society. It requires certain ability, and parents are not so good.

Most of the people on board are young people. Except for some kindergarten teachers, they can't have the experience of raising children, and they don't have the help of the older generation. However, the dependent robot is still in the experimental state for the time being, and has not yet been mass-produced, so it is impossible to allocate one for each family.

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

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

Of course, this kind of natural "politically correct" thing has been unanimously praised by the broad masses of the people. After all, the vast majority of people who eat melons have no desire to have children at all. The rest of the few people can only accept it with a stiff upper lip. Giving birth directly without a certificate will be condemned by public opinion.

With such a small population, life will be very difficult if people despise it for a long time.

As a result, the parents found that. The difficulty of textual research is much higher than imagined, and it is not necessarily able to pass the test several times, including the rebellious period of children, when they need to supplement what nutrition, how to spend the rebellious period, and so on The problem is very difficult.

Some people are too lazy to give birth to such troubles.

The second is to advocate eugenics.

At present, the new civilization is full of waste. Although the living conditions have risen 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

Of course, diapers, pacifiers and the like are 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 insist on having children in this situation, you can find a way to overcome the difficulties you encounter

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

"We are so poor that we are still digging and farming."

"Running for 20 light years just to have a baby? Aliens are going to be laughed to death by you. "

"I will die a few years later, in such a hurry."

In addition, the higher the education level, the lower the desire to have children, which is also an objective law.

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

The low birth rate has made some people of insight jump to their feet and call on everyone to let go of birth. But this will itself can not be increased 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 time, the scientific conference was quite grand. We already know all the developing data, but we still released them in official form.

Captain Zhao made a solemn speech on the stage This year's work task is satisfactory, even over fulfilled. Thank you very much for everyone's 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. "

Pa Pa!

There was a big round of applause.

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

"And then there is the issue of population, which is more important. Every man of insight should be worried about this... "

"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 said with a smile: "it's not mining on the surface, it's not being a scientist, it's not like me speaking on the stage. It's about having 10 or even 20 children and bringing them up. Then these parents are like 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 went on 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 a matter of personal freedom. Therefore, it is impossible for us to force childbirth. Coupled with the worrying objective environment, even I have no children myself. I'm too busy. I can't help it. I'm not interested in having a baby... "After that, there was a long silence in the conference room.

Everyone seems to have expected what will happen next

Then, it's the key to solve the population problem!

This population bill should have been proposed by the Minister of the Ministry of human resources himself, but it is a key content in the history of new civilization. In addition, the minister's weight and popularity are not enough Maybe if it is put forward, it will be scolded as a pig by the people.

Only Zhang Yuan, a powerful figure in the Ministry of new civilization development, can make a big splash!

Time here we are.

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

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

A woman from the Ministry of education, sitting next to her, suddenly said, "is it really urgent for us to use artificial uterus technology to breed babies in large quantities? 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 to be civilized."

No matter the expression or the tone, they are very flat.

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

There seems to be a strong and cold will in the core of the whole civilization, which is slowly pushing all this forward. 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 smiles, but his words are not soft: "your opposition is invalid. We are a democratic society Of course, you have the right to speak, and you can retort at any time. "

He came on stage with a stack of papers, steady and easy.

A document is displayed on the large screen.

In a flash, like boiling water, the whole meeting room was boiling!

"On the use of artificial uterus technology batch incubation program"!
