cosmic hegemony

chapter 216,

"Brother Fu, we have thoroughly understood all the technologies in this alien base. We have already mastered most of the technologies, that is, the technology of the plasma engine has given us something to gain, and the second is their computer technology. , because the language of the Lorne civilization is similar to our Chinese ideogram, so programming is a great inspiration for our Chinese programming."

At this time, almost two months have passed since the alien civilization base on Ceres was discovered. During this time, the scientists on the "Ocean" have analyzed the entire base inside and out, and everything has been carried out. Study carefully.

"It seems that it's almost time to return to Earth, and there is not much energy left on the spacecraft."

Li Fu nodded after listening to Chen Bin's words. In fact, for Li Fu, this alien base has no technology worth learning at all. There are countless advanced technologies in the seeds of civilization that have not yet been learned. It's just pretending to show the outside world, and I have long wanted to return to Earth.

"Haha, Li Fu, it's really not in vain this time, the harvest is huge."

At this moment, Li Fu's teachers Liu Yi and Liu Shiying floated over with very loud voices.

This time he followed the "Ocean" spacecraft to investigate, not only found extraterrestrial life on Mars, but also aliens and many kinds of alien plants on Ceres for his research. It can be said that he has always been busy. Non-stop, very rewarding.

"The life on the Lorne star is similar to the life on our earth. They are all carbon-based life, and they are also all double-helix genes. The Lorne people also evolved slowly from creatures. Their ancestors are similar to our earthlings." , evolved from an ape-like animal on Star Lorne."

"It's no wonder that their appearance is actually very similar to ours, with flat noses, pointed ears, and blue skin. Their ancestors should have lived in very dense virgin forests."

Liu Yi happily talked about his research results. Skater~yong's body was made into a specimen, and some plants on the Lorne star he brought over were also carefully protected by scientists. This is from 8.6 Plants that are light years away are very precious.

"You are laughing. I am full of worries now. The technological level of Lorne civilization 50 years ago has almost reached our current level. 50 years have passed, and I don't know how far it has developed. In our solar system, we don’t know if we can live at a low level.”

But Liu Shiying couldn't laugh at all. He carefully studied all the technologies in this alien base, and united with the scientists on the earth side. After scientific and rigorous analysis, he believed that the technology level of the earth and the Lorne civilization differed by a full 50 years. , so the whole person is very worried now.

"Soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil. I'm worried that the problem will not be solved. Let's work harder on research and technology."

"Old Liu, teacher, do you think we can almost return to Earth?"

Li Fu smiled helplessly, and then discussed with Liu Shiying and Liu Yi about returning to Earth.

……

On the other side, Earth Huaxia, because of the decision made at the highest meeting, the Huaxia official side began to release the wind, encouraging birth, improving population quality, and vigorously developing science and technology. These three have become the basic policies for dominating the starry sky in the future. Through the news media and the virtual world Wait for the channel to start making announcements.

"Blessed are many children!"

"Four generations under one roof, five generations under one roof, family happiness."

"The disadvantages and dangers of the only child and so on."

All kinds of promotional content began to appear in the field of vision of the Chinese people. In the past, it was better to have fewer births and better births, and only one birth.

Of course, the real policy hasn’t come down yet, and now it’s just blowing the air to see the reactions of the domestic people. This is also the official practice of Huaxia, and nothing will be implemented immediately. After all, this is related to the great cause of the Chinese nation, isn’t it? Child's play.

However, it was beyond everyone's expectations. It was unexpected that the Chinese people would actively respond to the country's call, but the real situation was that there were very few responses, and the people's desire to have children was very low. There will not be too many children, at most two, and many people even choose to have only one child.

"We used to force family planning, but now we are encouraging rabbits to have more babies. Could it be that they found that there were too few rabbits to eat, so they showed kindness and started letting us have children, so I wouldn't be fooled? Kill me Only one at most, and I'm not even ready to have a baby."

"That is, it is good to have only one child. The state will take care of the elderly. Only one child is good. The state will help the elderly. Then the elderly cannot rely on the state. It is better to postpone retirement and provide for the elderly. Who would believe it? I would rather the rabbit die than die. .”

"Four generations under the same roof? Five generations under the same roof? I really think too much. Living in China, it is enough to live to 60. I got married at 30 and had a son at 31. When I die, I can see my grandson." It's not bad."

In various forums, topics like this are very popular, and have won the support of many people. Regarding the current advocacy and encouragement of childbirth, the rabbits basically have no reaction at all, expressing their displeasure. I can't raise or support her, and her desire to have children is very low.

This is the same as the development of the second child at the beginning. The number of newborns in the whole country did not increase explosively as experts expected. On the contrary, the number of newborns decreased by more than 20 a year. The long-term family planning propaganda , so that the concept of fertility of the Chinese people has undergone tremendous changes.

Now I want to change everyone's thoughts and concerns all of a sudden. The difficulty is similar to that when the family planning was promoted. It is very difficult and takes time. Of course, the more important thing is that although everyone's living standards are now higher than before, I don't know how much. , but the pressure of life is still very high, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and then houses, cars, education, and medical care are still heavy mountains.

At the beginning of January 2025, the "Ocean" spacecraft finally returned to the earth after more than two years of scientific investigation. When Li Fu set foot on the earth, he couldn't help taking a few deep breaths of air. However, As soon as Li Fu returned to Earth, he was immediately called to the imperial capital by Tang Yunshan.

In the center of the Huaxia Imperial Capital, in a quiet courtyard, Tang Yunshan rarely had time to relax. While drinking tea with Li Fu, he chatted and talked freely about his views on the future.

"I don't know what the young people think now, and none of them are willing to have children. Last year, there were hundreds of thousands of newborns in our country, and the proportion of elderly people over 60 years old in our country has reached nearly 1/3. The level of [-] is really worrying."

In the past, Tang Yunshan didn't pay much attention to the population, but since he proposed to encourage births, he has attached great importance to this area. After careful research, he discovered an unexpected problem. The population of Huaxia is about to appear. Huge problem.

The number of newborns is decreasing every year, and the aging process is getting more and more serious, and the speed is very fast, but the corresponding equipment guarantee, medical care, etc. cannot keep up.

So at this time Tang Yunshan seemed worried, and he seemed very helpless about the situation in front of him. Even though he had mastered the greatest power in the country, he still couldn't change the situation in front of him.

"Old Tang, don't you really know why young people don't want to give birth?"

Li Fu nodded slightly after hearing this. Li Fu knew from the seeds of civilization that in the age of the interstellar universe, every civilization attaches great importance to population growth, because only a larger population can occupy more resources and planets , if the population is constantly decreasing, what can we use to compete with other civilizations?

"Please enlighten me."

Tang Yunshan was sitting up, asking for advice very seriously.

"I think there are two reasons why young people are unwilling to have children. One is because of the long-term family planning propaganda, so everyone thinks that it is better to have only one child. The other very important reason is that everyone's life pressure is very high now. , the cost of raising a child is too high, so they are unwilling to have children, even if they are allowed to have children, everyone will not have children."

Li Fu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts. The low fertility rate is a problem that almost every developed country will encounter. Of course, the fertility rate in China is lower than that of Jiaopenji and Nanbangzi, and compared with European and American countries. Even lower, it has reached a very dangerous edge, and the population collapse is very likely to happen.

"I can understand the first reason, and the second is that life is stressful. I think everyone's living standards are better than before. I don't know how much. Even in rural areas, everyone has houses and cars. The pressure of life is really high. Big?"

Tang Yunshan thought for a while and said in a puzzled way.

"Life pressure is of course great. Although our country's economic development has been very good in recent years, the big problems existing in our country have not been solved. If the problems of medical care, pension, education, and housing cannot be fundamentally solved In addition, the three aspects of social fairness, justice, and openness have not been improved at all. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes to phoenixes, and social classes are slowly solidifying. These are the fundamental problems that need to be solved now. Only After solving these problems, I think everyone's desire to have children will gradually increase."

Li Fu pondered for a while, and kept sorting out the words in his mind. Tang Yunshan himself came from a big family and lived a good life since he was a child. Of course, he didn't understand some difficulties faced by ordinary people. He only knew that the living standards of ordinary people are much higher than before. But they don't know the real problems facing the common people.

PS: The above is just a family opinion, just take a look.
