Deep Space Fleet

Hearing Wang Junpeng's strange remarks, Xu Jie said in a strange way: "What do you mean that the tax we pay goes to other people to raise children? Earn back from the tax, you can earn social public resources if you give birth to two, and you can also contribute to the entire civilization... You can take advantage of more benefits if you give birth to ten, and you can also be a hero of the entire civilization!"

Speaking of this, Xu Jie suddenly thought of something, "...It's not right, we are now a planned economy, how much tax have you paid?"

Wang Junpeng said unconvinced: "I haven't paid much tax? I have made so much money this year, is it enough to raise a child?"

The two of them debated for a long time with wide eyes and small eyes, but they couldn't explain why, and there was no particularly strong objection.

In fact, what they both said is not quite right. Population growth has definitely had a positive impact on the current new civilization.

To use a specific example, if you pay a social public resource with a unit of "1" to raise a baby, when he grows up and enters society, he can return 10 or even 20 public resources, making everyone's life easier. better. This is definitely a profitable business!

Of course, this kind of buying and selling can be clearly calculated for the entire civilization, but it is not so clear for a single individual. Even if the growth period of infants and young children is only 20 or 30 years, it is a long time for individuals.

Wang Junpeng and Xu Jie made a lot of money by recycling mobile phones, but... as rich people in the spaceship, neither of them wanted to have children.

Look at those people who have children around them, how miserable are they?

The old Fang next door gave birth to a little girl with his wife, and he had to get up to wash diapers in the middle of the night! Moreover, the cries of children would faintly come in at night, it was simply... a nightmare, a real nightmare.

In this kind of ghost place, it is impossible to find a servant to help him take care of the children, even if he has money, and it is impossible to have parents to help, everything depends on himself.

The care robot that the government is researching may still be helpful, but the current productivity cannot be mass-produced, let alone a family with a robot.

It's so hard!

"No birth, definitely no birth." Thinking of this, Wang Junpeng couldn't help shaking his head. He seemed to understand a little bit why the birth rate was so low.

"I gave birth to you, you don't even have a girlfriend, and you have children... You are such a dishonest person, do you still want to be a father? Can you get a certificate?"

Xu Jie didn't know why, but today he was stinky, and it was simply a curse, but after getting along for so long, Wang Junpeng also knew that this friend had such a straight-forward personality.

"Who said I want to be a father? I'm still a child, why should I find myself guilty? I just feel very uncomfortable. This policy is simply weird... Well, for fifty years later, our Civilization can be stronger, I... reluctantly accept it!"

Wang Junpeng shook his head and walked out of the door of the room.

A 30-year-old child...according to the theoretical lifespan that can be achieved, it is indeed a child.

"Fifty years from now, with a population growth rate of 5%...the population can reach more than 5.7 million, which sounds pretty good. There are more human resources than now, and more industries can be developed."

"However, there are less than six million people, which is still too small."

Although he has made a lot of money, he really has no desire to be a father, especially without the urging of his parents. Most of the astronauts on the Earth Age are young people. Without the pressure from their parents, who wouldn't want to play for a few more years?

"It's okay to find a girl to live with and get married... It's not impossible to find a robot girl..."

Who doesn't have a little physical desire...

The joy of the New Year is in the air, and the plants on the central square have been carefully decorated to look like Christmas trees. There are several stereos playing a variety of cheerful music, and a group of children who look like 3 years old are performing cultural performances.

"Hey, kids, everyone, sing with me... Hongguoguo, Hongguoguo, Honghonghong; Green Bubbles, Green Bubbles, Green Green Green..."

The robot teacher "Ms. Kim" is leading the children to dance. After a period of familiarity, all the people are no strangers to this beautiful and lovely anthropomorphic robot, and they also have a high affection...

Ironically, there were also men who confessed to him, and there were even more than one!

Of course, this is just a robot teacher, not a robot companion, which does not provide additional services other than education.

There was a large crowd of onlookers, laughing and applauding non-stop.

These children are small lives born naturally a few years ago, and the number is not large. When everyone is generally very busy, the robot teacher developed by the government is responsible for unified education.

According to Wang Junpeng's vision, these children are all very witty and clever, yet innocent, enjoying the unique happiness from childhood.

It's an amazing feeling to see the next generation...

The children live a simple life in the spacecraft every day, and have never been in contact with their home planet. They also take this kind of life for granted, and their smiling faces are extremely cheerful. Naturally, it is also impossible to have your own video game console, a little toy can make you happy for a long time.

They are accompanied by robot teachers most of the time, and as far as they are concerned, there are few personality defects. Some are naughty, some are quiet, some love to draw, some love to read, and some boys like to bully girls, but only within the scope of normal bullying... If the bullying is severe, they will be punished by the teacher.

Of course, these children still have parents, and part of their education is done at home.

"If there are no parents... I don't know if it will work."

"Perhaps hundreds of years from now, it will become common to be without parents... Who knows? The changes in society are always more dramatic than imagined."

Seeing all this, Wang Junpeng smiled and couldn't help but think back to his father, that old gambler. Yes, an old gambler.

The mood can't help but get worse.

A gambler has no integrity at all, one second he was saying "never gamble again", and the next second he was found in the casino, "gambling for the last time, maybe he can turn around"!

Anyway, there will always be so many excuses, hope again and again, in exchange for only disappointment again and again.

Thinking back to life on earth, the family didn’t know how much they owed, and they were being chased all day long, so that the mother ran away from home in despair, abandoned her father and son and ran away...

Thinking about it now, Wang Junpeng doesn't resent his mother, and running away is the right choice, otherwise, will he live with such a bad gambler for the rest of his life?

Influenced by his father, Wang Junpeng earned all his living expenses from childhood to adulthood, including university tuition. He worships money very much, and instinctively wants to make more money, so that he can feel more secure.

Even, the main reason for boarding the Earth Times spacecraft was just to pay off debts. Being a volunteer will bring you a lot of resettlement fees, and you can stay away from your unqualified father and the rough world...

Wang Junpeng does not regret the original decision.

"The old gambler gave me life and a smart mind to help him pay off his debt for the last time. What does life or death have to do with me after that... Sigh..."

He shook his head vigorously, no longer thinking about those past events on Earth.

No matter what, it was a story three thousand years ago. Whether the bad gambler died in a coffin or in the wilderness, has been buried in the dust of history, and it is impossible to know the so-called truth.

Already benevolent to the utmost.

He clenched his fists, "The past is the past, the life now belongs to me only."
