Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan still had a little sadness in his heart. After this hibernation, most likely, he would never see his teacher again.

He couldn't help asking: "Teacher ... don't you choose hibernation? Maybe you can wake up after hibernation and reach your future mother star."

Academician Ding waved his hand: "No, according to the doctor's advice, I am in a state of physical condition, maybe I can't wake up after falling asleep. Various life extension techniques are for people like me who are already seriously aging. In terms of effect, it will not be very good ... "

"I'm old, and sometimes I want to take a break, take care of myself with a few old friends, and live a normal life."

"But before that, there are a few things I want to talk to you about."

Zhang Yuan was shocked, and the business came.

For the entire school, the first thing they want to promote is the "social public support system". Without this social public support, all subsequent plans are just talk.

If nothing changes, they will continue to develop steadily as they are now. After a thousand years, they will still be the mediocre human civilization ...

This is something that no one wants to see.

Seeing Zhang Yuan and Zhao Qingfeng's serious faces, Academician Ding smiled lightly: "You don't have to be so pessimistic. First of all, please take a look at this population report. For so many years, you have chosen to become life partners. People, an increase of 422%, and only 38% of the population is still single. Even Zhang Yuan, you have found a life partner, gratifying. "

Zhang Yuan couldn't help wrinkling his nose. Why did I even find a life partner?

Just a joke, Academician Ding continued: "In other words, we have about 150,000 couples!"

"And in the past two thousand years, the number of babies born, that is, the new population, is only over one thousand, even under the policy of poor living conditions and discouragement of fertility ..."

"Do you know what this extremely low fertility rate means?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned, and the quality of life was not high, which led to a significant reduction in people's fertility desire, which is inevitable.

The population in the spaceship is basically a highly educated population, not a peasant in the mountains. If they cannot give the next generation a good living environment, and they cannot give birth to good children, they would rather not give birth. This cultural phenomenon has actually appeared in the age of the earth. Children are not toys. The purpose of giving birth is not simply to provide for the elderly, but also a responsibility and a burden.

Academician Ding continued: "According to current statistics, the environment is not good and the material conditions are poor, so the fertility rate is not high, which is easy to understand."

"After arriving at the destination and obtaining a lot of resources, the first point we will have to overcome in the future is to solve the problem of survival and improve our living environment. The first priority of people is to survive. The needs are not met, and other things cannot be done at all, let alone ideal ethics. "

Zhang Yuan nodded, this is natural.

"But there are also developments. Some technologies can significantly improve the quality of life and fertility, some technologies can get spiritual enjoyment, get appointments, and some can improve medical services ... I think the most important thing is to reproduce the Biotechnology, dramatically increasing life expectancy! Not other gaudy things ... "

Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Why?"

"Our labor, to extend life is to increase our labor!"

"For you young people, the effects of various technologies for extending life are much better, that is ... everyone can live for two hundred years or more."

"Anyway, these technologies were invented by the people of the earth, and we don't need to pay patent fees, nor raise prices, and make profits, it is a national welfare!"

"Furthermore, the public will definitely not have any objections. If you live 300 years or higher quality of life, you can only live one hundred and fifty years old. Either way, I believe that most people will Choose longevity. "

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Academician Ding whispered: "More importantly, in this way, the willingness to 'give birth' can be reduced ..."

"The natural population growth rate will continue to be significantly suppressed!"

"You think, the work pressure is great, the life span is increasing, the society is booming, and no elders are forcing this group of young people to have children. Naturally, everyone will want to regenerate later and let their children enjoy a brighter tomorrow. .According to the historical experience on the earth, there are a hundred children a hundred years old ... it seems no big deal to delay for decades. "

Zhang Yuan groaned for a moment, wondering, "But don't we need a large population ... now there are only half a million people, far from industrialization."

Academician Ding smiled, and this smile gradually turned into a steel-like sharp edge.

He said, "We need a population, but we don't need a naturally born population!"

"Naturally born population is definitely a huge obstacle to the social public support system! Moreover, the birth rate of natural population is too slow ... too slow and too slow."

"Time is not on our side. The equipment carried on our spacecraft is limited, and the population is also limited. Once they are fully operated, they will rapidly age and depreciate. They can only last for decades."

"... The high-quality population is also basically concentrated in our generation. We are the elite selected from the 10 billion people ~ www.readwn.com ~ are high-tech talents in various systems. The next generations, from Intelligence or other basic abilities cannot be compared with us ... "

"So, what will happen in the future? Even if our group of people release their lives, the birth rate in one year will never exceed 2%! There is no way to double it in 30 years. We in this group are not farmers."

"Without a sufficient population, there is no way to industrialize!"

"When all our generations are aging and dying, and when the failure rate of spacecraft is getting higher and higher, if we have not established a complete industrial system, our offspring will be extinct on this alien planet!"

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and thought hard about the possibility of this future.

Yes, it will happen! A high probability will happen!

The alien planet is not the earth, the ecological environment is extremely harsh, there is no powerful industry, the spacecraft is slowly aging, and various leaks are emerging endlessly. After the spacecraft is scrapped, everyone is waiting to die!

"... In this case of no choice, we must grow the population quickly! With very low natural fertility, it is the only option to use artificial uterine technology to train babies in large quantities!"

When Earth Age set off from the earth, it came with a human gene bank, including sperm and eggs provided by outstanding genes.

"So, a large number of artificial babies appeared. They had no fathers and mothers, they grew up in artificial uterus, they were raised by robots since they were young, and their ideology is not the same as those of us natural people ... I call them new humans. "

"This process is about 20 to 30 years. By then, robots will bring up and grow up. Millions of new humans, a significant number of natural humans, have entered the society and exerted their influence."

"They are natural supporters of the social public support system."
