The last human in the universe

Chapter 88 Star City

Wang Luoyi is a researcher at the Institute of Optics under the Academy of Human Sciences, and lives in Human City with his wife.

As a student who achieved excellent grades at the university level and successfully entered the Institute of Optics to become a scientist, he has a decent job, is respected, has a high salary, and married a gentle and beautiful wife. He has always been the envy of his friends Object.

But recently, Wang Luo often frowns and sighs.The same is true of his wife, who is often sullen.

At a friend's gathering, after drinking some wine, Wang Luoyi finally revealed his thoughts.

"Xiaoying and I like children very much. When we got married, we made an agreement that we would start preparing for pregnancy as soon as we got married."

Friends looked at each other.

A friend said with a quick smile: "Is it because I can't get pregnant? I thought it was a big deal. Just go to the doctor to see if it's okay? If you cooperate with the treatment, you can always get pregnant."

Wang Luoyi and his wife have been married for several years.

Wang Luo scolded: "Nonsense, I am not sick, and Xiaoying is not sick either!"

"Then what do you want to worry about?"

Wang Luoyi sighed: "That's right, when I think about the fact that the child will be sent to the Roller Base just after birth, and there is only one visit a week, I just, I can't bear it. It's because of this that the matter of having a child has been delayed all the time. down."

The friends fell silent together.I don't know how long it took before I felt the same and sighed together.

"Xiaoying wants a child like crazy. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can see her crying secretly. But there is no way..."

At the present stage, what human civilization implements is a unified social support policy.In order to ensure that children can develop healthily before they reach adulthood, and at the same time to improve social efficiency, no matter whether they are test-tube babies or naturally conceived babies, they must be placed in the drum base or the Tinder spacecraft after birth.

This is an iron law that no one can violate.There have also been several couples who tried to conceal the fact of pregnancy and wanted to raise the child quietly by themselves, but they all failed in the end.After they were found out, they were also punished accordingly.

After a while, one of his friends sighed: "Our civilization has not yet developed to that point, there is no way."

"Oh, my wife and I are the same way, we also want children, but, but, alas..."

"Don't talk, don't talk, drink and drink."

A dinner party ended in dullness.

As far as Wang Luoyi knows, his situation is not uncommon in civilization.In my own unit alone, at least five couples have postponed their plans to raise children because of this incident.There must be more in the whole society.

But everyone knows that this is impossible.

After a day's work, when he returned home, seeing his frowning wife and feeling the slightly deserted home, Wang Luoyi still put a smile on his face, trying to calm his wife's emotions.

After eating, it's time to rest.The TV was turned on, and there were continuous sounds coming out, but neither of them paid attention.One is reading a book, and the other is flipping through the phone casually.

At this time, a sentence suddenly came out of the TV, which attracted the attention of both of them at the same time.

"According to the latest announcement from the human government, the conditions for the construction of the third-generation roller base are already met. The human government will complete the blueprint design within one year, complete the construction and put it into operation within five years. It is reported that the third-generation roller base will be It adopts an urban design and is open to qualified adults. In the future, the human government will build more third-generation roller bases to gradually realize the relocation of human beings into space..."

Wang Luoyi and Zhao Ying's breathing became rapid at the same time.

They were keenly aware of the key points of this news.

First of all, the long-term plan of the human government must be the gradual spaceification of human beings.In the future, everyone will move to live in space bases designed according to urbanization, and Sedna Star will degenerate into resource and product bases, industrial bases, etc., basically no longer assume the responsibility of living and living bases.

From a global perspective, it is clearly necessary to go this route.In addition to factors such as a more controllable environment and more convenient transfer, there is the most important point, that is gravity.

Only a space base can create a gravity that is most suitable for human survival and is equivalent to the level of the earth.And this is the fastest and most effective way to comprehensively increase the average life expectancy of human beings.

At this stage, although the supply of food such as meat, eggs, milk and grains can be guaranteed, the average life expectancy of people is only 68 years old, which is even lower than that of the earth in the era of the country.At the same time, various diseases are very common at an advanced age, seriously affecting the quality of life, and at the same time severely weakening the individual's productivity.

In recent years, several great scientists with outstanding reputation have unfortunately passed away because of this, which has caused a very serious impact on the scientific development of mankind.

And this is because the gravity of Sedna Star is too low, which is not suitable for the long-term survival of human beings.

I am afraid that this factor is the most fundamental reason why the human government finally made up its mind to build the third-generation roller base.

Secondly, another key point is that the human government is trying every means to tap the potential of human society.

After building a large number of second-generation roller bases in the early stage and raising the upper limit of the population of human civilization from 20 to 60, the human government began to comprehensively improve the life expectancy and health of residents from another aspect. The overall level of social productivity.

This also seems to mean that the overall threat to human civilization is still relatively large at this moment, otherwise, the civilization leadership and leader Zhao Changxing should not be so urgent.It's just that I don't know what the threat is.

Wang Luoyi, who is quite politically sensitive, analyzed the true intentions of the human government in a moment after seeing the news.

But in fact he didn't care too much about these things.He only paid attention to one point.

If the third-generation base adopts an urbanized design plan and is open to adults, doesn't that mean...doesn't it mean that if the people or families living in the third-generation roller base are born For the offspring, they don't need to be sent to a unified raising base, but can be raised by themselves?
This is very possible!After all, the most fundamental reason for the unified parenting model at this moment is that the gravity of Sedna is too low, and children need suitable gravity to grow up healthily.And if the places where people work and live have the right gravity, then why send children away?

This this……

Wang Luoyi slowly turned his head and looked at his wife.He saw his wife looking at him at the same time.

"We finally have hope of raising our own children..."

The two embraced tightly.

Although it is not yet known how the first batch of occupancy qualifications will be allocated, Wang Luoyi has already made up his mind.

In any case, I have to find a way to get one myself.

At this moment, the rough drawing of the third-generation roller base has been placed in front of Zhao Changxing.

This new type of roller base is larger in size than the second generation roller base.Its length reaches an astonishing 4 kilometers, and its diameter is as high as 1.2 kilometers.Calculated in this way, its internal usable area is as high as 15 square kilometers.

All kinds of public areas are reserved, such as roads, parks, municipal facilities, public facilities, etc., and the area that can be used to build residences is at least 5 square kilometers.

In consideration of not affecting the comfort, and taking into account the material supply capacity and current engineering capacity, a new type of third-generation roller base can accommodate 3 people inside.

Based on a family of three, that is 1 families.

"Build it, build it. Unless we can find a second earth, otherwise, the space base will be our eternal home. This day will always come."

Zhao Changxing sighed in his heart, and issued the corresponding order.

The construction of the third-generation roller base is progressing at a speed far beyond expectations under the extraordinary enthusiasm of the people.

Zhao Changxing predicted the existence of this kind of enthusiasm—after all, the third-generation roller base is a major event related to everyone's vital interests.Even if it is not his turn to qualify for the first base, the second and third will always be his turn, but he did not predict that people's enthusiasm is so high.

The blueprint planning was completed within eight months, and the subsequent construction took only three and a half years.This is still under the circumstances that many other major projects are being carried out at the same time, and the construction of the third-generation roller base has not invested too much social resources.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Changxing can only sigh, "Human beings who have stimulated their subjective initiative are indeed terrifying."

Zhao Changxing didn't have much hesitation when it came to choosing the list of admission qualifications.Obviously, all the personnel who participated in the previous expedition to the deep space star, including their family members, should undoubtedly have this qualification.The survivors of the martyrs who died in the war are the top priority that needs to be properly resettled.

For the rest, many logistics staff who made outstanding contributions to that war were also qualified, as were the first batch of staff stationed on the deep space star and the second batch of personnel.

In addition, there are all those who are still alive and have been rewarded with human government and war council medals.

After Lin Lin finally figured it out, there were almost 1 people, nearly 5000 people.Among the remaining half, scientists from the Academy of Sciences, as well as people from all walks of life who have received awards and commendations, the operation and maintenance personnel of the drum base, and the staff of the integrated factory accounted for the vast majority.There are still about 1000 places left, and Zhao Changxing chooses to keep them in his hand for the time being, and plans to reward those who will be commended later.

Wang Luoyi also won this spot because he solved a technical difficulty in scanning small celestial bodies in deep space.Zhao Ying is also qualified because of her outstanding achievements in her field.

When the two hold hands, they first take the space elevator to space, and then take the ferry to berth in Starry Sky City—this is the name of the first third-generation roller base—and then really see the environment inside Starry Sky City and feel When the gravity was the same as that of the earth, the two hugged each other tightly again, tears of excitement flowed from their eyes.

　Thank you book friend Zeng Wuyu for the reward! ! !grateful
