Deep Space Fleet

Two weeks later, this news release with a unique perspective was sent back to the spacecraft from the surface. It not only explained the progress of the entire project, but also focused on describing the mental outlook of the workers.

[...My name is Shi Dapeng, an industrialist, you don't need to find a girlfriend, but you must have an excavator. I like to sleep in the cab of the excavator every day, and I feel more at ease! 】

[What kind of speech... I hope that in our lifetime, our civilization can surpass the civilization of the earth! Then you can fly a spaceship, and everyone has a spaceship! Sleeping in it feels more at ease. 】

【It's over...isn't that enough? Stop recording, ahem, change someone else, really... I have nothing to say! 】

In the video, a large group of men in spacesuits are booing, making a lot of noise.

The camera shifted to another astronaut.

[My name is Li Wu, what do you most want to say? 】

A female voice said: [Yes, what do you most want to say to your friends. 】

【I love you my wife! 】

This guy had a surprisingly loud voice, and the young lady who took the photo was obviously frightened, so that the whole picture trembled.

There was another booing sound.

The examples of various small people are still quite real, without that kind of fake feeling, and it has a little educational significance, but it is not offensive...

Under the news, all kinds of reposts and comments quickly exceeded 20,000, which is already a large number for the current population.

"Not bad, the people in the Propaganda Department are quite capable..." Zhang Yuan was commenting on this news.

Although the Propaganda Department is small with few people, its responsibilities are quite important. The current cultural environment is very favorable for everyone's enthusiasm.

The progress of the surface engineering has always been a matter of great concern to Zhang Yuan. The scientific expedition team has discovered several good mineral mining sites, and various smelting factories are still under construction in an orderly manner. Due to the lack of manpower, some of the minerals found cannot be mined.

The second and third batches of surface workers are already signing up, and the number of volunteers is so large that we have to screen out some people with lower abilities... The risk of surface work is still very high, and professional skills are not enough. Off, I would rather not let it go.

At the same time, the Earth Age is also busy working overtime. On the one hand, it debugs the large machinery in the inventory and then transfers it to the bottom. On the other hand, it produces various materials to support the surface construction. The spare parts and material resources stored in the warehouse were brought from 20 light-years away, and they will come in handy at this moment...

After three months of overtime work, the first phase of the project was finally completed. The cement plant, metal smelting plant and other heavy industrial plants began to operate normally, and another 6,000 people rushed to the front line...

Six months later, the second phase of the project was completed, various plant cultivation bases were completed, and the number of surface staff increased to 30,000!

In 12 months, the construction of the plant refining and chemical plant was completed, and the working population rose to 60,000! The completion of the construction of the chemical refining plant means that people's basic necessities of life have risen to a higher level.

In this way, a year has passed...

Looking through the binoculars from the spaceship, it can be seen that the surface buildings in this area have changed greatly. A series of railway tracks connect various mining areas, and the trains are running day and night, transporting minerals to the smelting project.

All kinds of robots and engineering vehicles come and go in the industrial area, busy like ants.

The residential area and the central industrial area are hidden under the thick ground. The deepest area has reached 100 meters. It is divided into 16 floors, each with an area of ​​about 120,000 square meters. It is like a complex underground kingdom.

The central industrial zone can produce various resources and feed back the era of the earth.

When seeing all kinds of data keep rising, the sense of accomplishment in my heart is not to mention how great it is.

But at this time, the expected point happened, and the population began to restrict the development of various industries.

The population of 60,000 active on the surface is not a small number. After all, the new civilization only has 500,000 people. If you want to spend more, other developments will be uneven. A civilization cannot have only heavy industry, but also light industry, service industry, education, medical care and other industries. But compared to the required population, even if all 500,000 people are filled in, it is far from enough to fill the gap between the teeth...

This was also summarized in the government work report at the end of the year. With 500,000 people, it is only the size of a small city. It is tantamount to fantasy to completely form all the industrial chains.

The population problem is very important, and it is a long-term problem. Ten or twenty years are not enough, and even a hundred years may not be solved.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, recalling the conversation with Academician Ding, he was very excited.

The first big problem that civilization encountered, the population problem, appeared!

"Why, I'm going to be a villain. Have you messed with your social support system?" Lin Xuanxuan patted his collar, trying to make the old clothes smoother. I don't know how long this dress has been worn, it's time to buy a new one.

"Haha, it's really a villain...the villain of all mankind." Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, and said, "However, what is currently being promoted is not the social public breeding system, but artificially incubating a large number of babies... This event is the basis for the reform of the entire civilization, and we will definitely promote it, even if it takes decades or hundreds of years!"

"We won't have children in the future, you won't be angry."

Lin Xuanxuan smiled, "You have asked me a hundred times, don't be angry! Don't be angry! Don't be angry!"

After tidying up Zhang Yuan's clothes, she said: "Children, sometimes they want to have one. But it's troublesome to think about it, the raising conditions are poor, and you have to do research. From this aspect, your policy is quite successful. The... successfully reduced the natural birth rate."

"Although some people are calling for everyone to have children, this appeal is still useless."

Zhang Yuan took her hand: "I didn't make these policies, it was an old man named Wang Tianwei in the human resources department..."

"That is...you villains, have already controlled the upper echelons of the entire civilization?"

Lin Xuanxuan leaned her head on his shoulder, and suddenly said with emotion: "Hey, sometimes when I think about it, a child spends only ten years with his parents, and then he goes to school, becomes an adult, and has his own life. Leaving our world. The period when children are just born is the most fun, but when they have their own thoughts later, it becomes boring. The happiness gained in the middle is not much different from raising a dog.”

"It's impossible for us to manipulate their thoughts and let them stay with us all the time... From this point of view, what's the point of having a child and raising them? The next generation always feels meaningless."

"Meaning? Of course it has meaning." Zhang Yuan sighed: "It is this instinct that continues the human race. Without this instinct, this species would simply disappear. The continuation itself is the meaning, the greatest meaning."

"There is no shortage of powerful, but low-fertility organisms on our planet, so they all disappeared."

The difficulty in promoting this social public support policy is that... the ideas of the high-level civilized people are completely separated from the ideas of ordinary people, including the majority of middle-level cadres.

Like Lin Xuanxuan, there are not many girls who have been completely brainwashed by Zhang Yuan. Most people will instinctively resist these policies even if they currently do not want to have children.

Even if they are in high positions, it is impossible for Captain Zhao, Zhang Yuan and others to enforce these policies. There is no doubt that the rule of power will hurt the foundation and weaken its own foundation. In the current situation where the pressure of survival is very high, an outbreak of civil unrest is no different from suicide.

Therefore, at present, a method of saving the country with a curve is adopted.

The first is to suppress the natural population birth rate through various policies.

Second, try to promote artificial womb technology and mass produce infants and young children.
