Chapter 270 The inspiration of “craftsman’s talent” breaks out!(1/2)
Lu Tiantian's words actually have some small selfish motives.
He wanted to completely eliminate "natural man".
He wants to completely change social concepts and dig out the roots of "natural persons". Only in this way can implicit discrimination be completely eliminated.
As if to convince Lu Yuan, Lu Tiantian came up with another powerful statistic: "The main force in childbirth now is still the original first generation. If a couple gives birth to four or five, the task is almost completed.
They cannot continue to have unlimited children."
"The mismatch between the increase in lifespan and ideology is the main reason for the current low fertility rate."
"In the Mandala Empire, there is no such contradiction, but it really exists here."
Mandala Empire, as a feudal society.
A strong man can marry many wives.
A three hundred year old man still marries an eighteen year old.
So the fertility rate can be maintained.
But the same cannot be said for human society. The monogamy system, coupled with the substantial increase in life span, has resulted in a very low marriage rate.
Young people would rather play for a hundred more years and make themselves stronger.
Everyone's cultivation qualifications are different. If the person you want to practice with can't keep up with you and dies of old age, wouldn't you be causing trouble for yourself?
Therefore, from the second generation onwards, the fertility rate has dropped significantly.
This is true. People like Lu Yuan are actually very lucky to find someone with a matching life span... If he were to find a girl who would die of old age in five hundred years, he would rather not look for her. After all, when I was still young, you were already
I'm old, this scene is really cruel.
The fertility rate can be maintained now only because middle-aged couples are still having children before their brains react.
However, the popularity of new culture is inevitable.
Lu Tiantian continued: "The livable population of Sky City is around 200,000. If a thousand people are born a year, it will take us 100 years to reach this number."
"And as long as the Pandora crystal mineral deposits are found, the city can continue to expand. The once green civilization had a population of 100 million. Even if we have less, we still have to expand to 50 million."
"Without public support, how long will it take to reach this population?"
"Now that this model has been developed, we think it is very good. It would be a pity to abandon it directly. We can donate reproductive cells, and I believe the students are very willing to cultivate the next generation."
"Of course, it's okay for those who want to give birth naturally. Just like homosexuality exists, but it is not the mainstream of society. Those who want to give birth on their own can still give birth on their own."
Lu Yuan was silent. He seemed unable to refute.
Lu Tiantian's mind was full of fantastic ideas, and now that he had a chance to express them, he couldn't help but said: "In addition, I suggest that when returning to Lize Civilization, he should go back to the ruins of Sky City."
"We took some time to dig out the Pandora crystals from the original city to prepare for future expansion of the city."
"Raise one million children a year and quickly exceed 100 million."
"No!" Lu Yuan shook his head quickly. This guy was too crazy and whispered, "It costs money! It's very expensive to raise you. There are too many people and not enough resources..."
"And the poppy tree is old and cannot provide such a large computing power for the virtual world."
The resources he collected from the Meda Civilization, the hundreds of accumulated pomegranate fruits, honey, royal jelly, and extraordinary corn, were all used up in the past twenty years or so!
Every year the fruits of the Tree of Life mature, except for a batch of conchs, the rest are all given to the children, and he himself does not use much...
Why should he raise more children?
Everyone laughed.
Lu Yuan finally shook his head: "We have to think about this matter again."
"If you have any other opinions, you can share them with us."
Lu Tiantian swallowed: "I have thought about some of our current shortcomings."
"The first is that the scientific research system is relatively chaotic and the evaluation system is not perfect. We must establish a scientific and technological evaluation system. Otherwise, without a reasonable evaluation mechanism for who has made a big contribution and who has made a small contribution, it will eventually evolve into a humanistic society."
Lu Yuan nodded. He was only good at the two subjects of carving and forging extraordinary items.
Conch is a little more versatile and can do a little bit of everything.
But in the foreseeable future, subjects will still be subdivided, and it is impossible for one person to master all knowledge.
Therefore, a sound scientific research system is a must for the future.
"The second is that the media system is in chaos. We are still relying on newspapers, radio and at least a television to meet the needs of modern propaganda."
"We need to get the TV out soon."
If human civilization is said to be developed in the 18th century, it is indeed very developed. There are virtual worlds like Green Paradise.
However, the use of the virtual world consumes the poppy tree’s idealistic energy.
Therefore, Lu Yuaneng was able to save only a few provinces and did not fully open it to the public.
Without the TV, it still tastes bad.
"Third, the financial system is in chaos. I found that our currency is a complete mess. It actually fixes the price of food. I don't know who came up with this crooked idea."
Lu Yuan's face turned pale, it was me who suggested it.
"Our economic growth is much higher than the growth of grain production capacity. If the currency is anchored by grain, it is easy to cause deflation in the market due to insufficient currency quantity."
This is also true. For example, a certain project has a budget of one billion, but the annual food value is only one hundred million.
Insufficient currency will hinder development.
"Fourth, the system of rewards and punishments for students is not perfect enough. I think that after leaving school, it is enough to provide some basic benefits, and then everyone should rely on their own abilities."
"Especially when we are not wealthy, it is normal for some differences in life span to occur."
"We can't take care of everyone."
Lu Yuan looked at him and sighed.
Now the children's living standards can indeed be guaranteed.
The so-called difference, the biggest difference is actually lifespan...
In the supernatural era, the lifespan of the strong can reach one or two thousand years; while the lifespan of the weak can reach one or two hundred years before their lifespan is exhausted.
So how to give birth to a strong person?
resource!
As long as there are enough resources, even a pig can be stacked to level 4 or even level 5!
If resources are abundant, the contradiction is not big.
But it is obvious that no civilization has such abundant resources, not even the green civilization.
Therefore, what Lu Tiantian means is that everyone should rely on their abilities.
Those who contribute more will live longer, those who contribute less will live shorter...
"This guy is really evil. He's using people as consumables before he even leaves campus..."
"As expected of a person who has had bad habits since childhood."
Lu Yuan sighed, but this was helpless.
If a civilization wants to function normally, it cannot be all truth, goodness and beauty. It must have a dark side.
"Also, Dad Lu, what is the real combat effectiveness of our Sky City?" Lu Tiantian asked again.
"Very average..."
"Then how did we capture [Painted Skin] alive? A phenomenon of this level shouldn't be that easy to deal with, right?"
"It was paralyzed by depleted uranium bombs." Lu Yuan hesitated.
There were a lot of onlookers during that battle, so it was difficult to keep it completely secret.
But regarding the combat effectiveness of civilization, it is actually a relatively high-level confidential topic.
All kinds of monsters and ghosts have many methods, and they may be able to read memories.
It is not a bad thing to have reservations about the people.
Lu Yuan began to change the subject: "Your conch mother is one of the pinnacle combat powers of this civilization. I am slightly stronger than her, but not by much."
"ah?"
Ever since Conch started simulating the use of [Spiritual Words], his combat effectiveness has skyrocketed. After all, [Spiritual Words] can cause explosions.
What's more, her other abilities are only a little bit weak. Although they are all half-empty in nature, they are already very powerful in ordinary-level battles.
"That's it... My suggestion is that it's still the early days of the Ninth Era, so if you can capture the anomalies alive, you should try to capture them alive." Lu Tiantian touched his chin, "It would be really good if the Sky City started moving as soon as possible.
.”
"As long as the sacrifice is within a certain level, I think it is worth it... Even if I have to sacrifice, I have no problem with it."
This time it’s a closed-door meeting.
Everyone chatted for a long time.
To be continued...
