It's not the social public support system, but its pre-plan—the use of artificial uterine technology to mass-produce human babies in order to achieve a population growth rate of 5% per year. In fact, many people have been informed of this motion in advance and discussed it for some time, but various disputes are still very large.

Zhang Yuan snatched the crowd, slowly speaking: "Everyone, according to our population report, how many people were born last year? The exact figure is 1823, 3.6 per thousand births. Birth rate Very low, to the point where it is outrageous! Indeed, our population structure is still very young, the mortality rate is zero, coupled with the low quality of life, the objective environment is poor, and birth in the next few years is nothing. "

"But let's think about it, fifty years later, what will happen?"

"Fifty years later, our average age will rise by 50. Everyone here, 80 or even 90, how many young people? 100,000!"

"Yes, with a growth rate of 3.6 per thousand, there will be only 100,000 young people in 50 years! The total population is only 600,000, and it is based on zero mortality."

"Fifty years!"

As if there is a sense of crisis, it sounded in many people's hearts.

The current development model is necessarily unsustainable.

"Sir Zhang Yuan, we can adopt a method of encouraging fertility instead of a radical approach of artificial babies ..."

The female MP who stood on the stage immediately stood up and said with excitement: "The impact on our society is so great ... It is unimaginable! Have you considered reality?"

"Yes, in a few years, there are more artificial babies than natural people. What's wrong with that?"

"I object!"

The voices of various discussions are getting louder and louder.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and suppressed all the voices.

He said loudly: "Seat 145, Mr. Qian Lihua, do you as a power engineer discriminate against these babies born from artificial uterus? Or, do you think they are not normal humans?"

Every gaze came over, and Mr. Qian looked so pale that he quickly said, "No discrimination."

那么 "Then, if there is no discrimination, there are more artificial babies than natural people. What's the problem?"

"..." The gentleman blushed for a while, and if he covered the hat of "discrimination", his political career would be over. He spoke after a long while, "Is there any problem ... I don't know."

Zhang Yuan asked another woman who had previously wanted to vote against, with the same flash of lightning: "Ms. Zhong of the Ministry of Education, if a baby is born without a father and mother, let you carefully raise him. You can let him Not humble, not haughty, not arrogant and impatient, form an independent and optimistic personality and become a useful person to society? "

女士 The lady Zhong said hesitantly, "But ..."

Zhang Yuan ignored the following "but", and then asked: "I asked, can I make him not humble, haughty, or arrogant, form an independent and optimistic personality, and become a useful person for society? Yes, Or not! "

"... Yes."

"Do you think this kind of upbringing can be promoted on a large scale? That is, can a large number of fatherless and motherless babies be useful to society?"

Ms. Zhong Zhong did not reply.

"Since one person can, a group of people, it should be possible."

远 Zhang Yuan came to a conclusion by himself, then turned his head and asked, "So ... Mr. Ding of the Ministry of Human Resources, if we adopt a policy that actively encourages fertility, what will our natural birth rate be?"

Gray-haired Minister Ding quickly replied: "The maximum can reach 2% -3%, but it cannot last long, and it will eventually fall sharply. First, according to statistics, a couple, one or two children The highest willingness, the number of people who want to have three is very low, and almost four or more. So natural growth alone cannot achieve a 5% birth rate. Our population is not a backward population, but a high one. Quality population. "

"The second point is that our population has faults. Almost all of our ages are concentrated around 30 years old. After a wave of concentrated births, the birth rate behind will be infinitely close to 0, and another fault will appear. One child is born at the age of 40, and one child is born at the age of 50 and 60. Population faults one by one will undoubtedly produce undesirable social phenomena for a civilization. "

并且 "And, promulgating policies that encourage fertility will consume a lot of social costs and hinder the development of other industries. According to our statistics, the social cost of individual child care will be three or even four times that of collective child care ..."

也就是说 "That is to say, the cost of raising one child by one person can enable three to four children to be raised collectively ..."

The meeting room was silent for a few minutes again.

Zhang Yuan turned back: "Mr. Li, Ministry of Resources, how long can our advanced equipment last?"

Minister Li stood up and replied, "Many of our robots are brought from the earth. Once the high-precision advanced equipment is started, the depreciation speed is very fast, and some equipment will not work for 10 years ... In addition, 30 years Come on, up to fifty years. "

"Our industrial mother machine is broken, it is really broken, and it is extremely difficult to repair. If at that time, something brought from the earth is damaged, we have not been able to build an industrial mother machine of the same specification, then ..."

Minister Li's face is not so good-looking: "Technology ... will go backwards!"

The meeting room suddenly became very quiet.

This year, the entire civilization has achieved great results, but most of them are eating their way. Many people do not expect that time is so urgent.

After a few moments of frowning, the person sitting underneath shook his brows and dared to ask.

"But, sir, are there too many 20,000 to 30,000 children a year ... are we in the society as a whole able to support them?"

Zhang Yuan said coldly, "This gentleman, I remind you to look a little longer. There will be 1,800 babies born this year, and only 1800 workers will be born 20 years later. This year, 30,000 babies will be born. 30,000 more workers ... We must not only live in the present, but also in the future. Today's hard work is for tomorrow's sustainability. "

"What else is your opinion?"

"Nothing ..." As if suppressed by Zhang Yuan's momentum, the gentleman sat back quickly.

The lady named Zhong stood up again, refuting: "Baby growth requires a lot of nutrition, especially without breast milk, milk powder, and more supplementary food."

"Mr. Zhang Yuan, have you calculated that with our current productivity, adding so many babies will raise prices virtually and the quality of people's lives will be reduced. Our economic structure and even the production structure need to be adjusted significantly . "

"This lady, you are right, it is true ... we are not productive enough."

Zhang Yuan said blankly, "But ... the quality of life will be lowered. Is that your reason for objecting? We have traveled 20 light years ~ www.readwn.com ~ Is it just for enjoying life? Hold this idea People, they should stay on the earth, not come here! "

女士 The woman's face turned red, and she stood there in a daze.

Snapped!

Zhang Yuan patted the table hard and growled loudly: "So ..."

"Since no one discriminates against these children, education is not a problem, and no one wants to have more than 10 children for civilization, and the population has become the biggest constraint on development ..."

"I ask you, why are you opposed to this motion! Why ?! Do you want the entire civilization to be extinct here a hundred years later?"

I was astonished by Zhang Yuan's roar. For a short while, no one dared to stand up and get into trouble.

Perhaps, many people recall that the usually polite and gentle Dr. Zhang and Minister Zhang were a fierce man who dared to cut off his legs. He was a fighter who alone defeated the super life!
