The world enters the age of myth

Among the three children, one is nine years old, and the other two are only two years old, making them three years old. The first time they saw Ye Qingqing, they shouted excitedly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

"Quack!" The boy jumped up from his position happily, like a spring.

The child Lu Lingling was adopted because of her cuteness. She has not become disabled after so many years and is still very cute.

The other two little ones, one boy and one girl, may be because of their excellent genes, and they look like porcelain dolls.

They were both twins born through in vitro fertilization. Lu Yiming and his wife finally completed their fertility mission after giving birth to these two.

And they are very smart. They have known since childhood that they can get the greatest favor by following their sister-in-law. Relatively speaking, my parents are very strict.

"Lu Yiming, where is your wife?" Ye Qingqing asked, playing with the three-year-old boy's little feet.

"Quack!" the boy screamed excitedly again.

"She is in the laboratory, doing some micro-mutations! But she will still go home after get off work." Lu Yiming said: "How are the students doing in the exam? Some of them can be admitted to Yunhai University."

"I don't know, it should be average. The class I teach is neither good nor bad. There are a few talents, but they are only average." Ye Qingqing said, "In a grade of 600 people, there are almost ten Someone stands out from the crowd, and every mock exam, those people are changing in turn.”

"And in the entire City of Clouds, among the more than 30,000 college entrance examination students, there will be about ten who are extremely outstanding. But among the real expert groups, they are only average."

"Maybe a real genius will emerge in ten years..."

"This shows that the population base is still relatively small, and geniuses are always hard to find. Our current team of experts is the legacy of Earth's civilization. Everyone is one-in-a-thousand, so naturally they cannot compare with students."

Lu Yiming said: "Actually, the average intelligence of our current students has risen compared to previous earth eras."

It has been five years since Dongfang joined, and it has been developing steadily for five years, and there are already more than 20 countries surrounding the City of Clouds.

So many ancient civilizations naturally have their own specialties.

There is a nut called "Bodhi seed", a kind of honey called "acesulfame potassium", and special varieties such as spiritual tea. Long-term use can effectively improve human concentration and average intelligence. Some companies now have developed corresponding nutritional products to ensure that most people can eat them.

So the average human intelligence has actually increased.

"But the number of geniuses is still not enough, maybe because the next generation has not really grown up. The large group of newborns are generally only 1-5 years old."

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

Lu Yiming said: "Next, I may be busy and may not be able to go home, so I can only ask you to take care of these children for a while. You can take them out to play or stay at home, which is their strong request. "

Lu Lingling, the oldest, laughed "hehehe". Instead of being taken care of by her grandparents, she would rather follow her young and beautiful sister-in-law, who would also buy them delicious and fun things.

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the giant turtle zoo."

"My sister-in-law can't take care of the three of you by herself. Either you take care of your brother."

"Okay, okay, I'll push them with the cart."

The two-year-old boy shouted excitedly: "Turtle! Turtle!"

Immediately afterwards, the little girl followed her brother and shouted: "Turtle! Big turtle!"

The two men were shouting, and their legs were beating like springs, full of vitality.

Ye Qingqing found it a bit funny. Taking care of a child of this age is actually not too strenuous, and he is in the most fun stage.

The older you get, the less fun it becomes.

Why many people like cats and dogs is mainly because cats and dogs can be controlled by humans and save trouble. Children of this age are also manipulated, and their subjective consciousness is not strong.

She turned her head and asked Lu Yiming: "You mean, it might break out again..."

"Yes, our world is not stable. We have to find time to deal with potential crises."

"No wonder there are more recruitment advertisements."

The five years of development have not been smooth sailing. More and more monsters have gathered in the idealistic world next door, and the crisis is getting bigger and bigger.

There have been medium-sized monster invasions. Although there were not many casualties in the Sea of ​​Clouds Capital, hundreds of people were killed or injured in several surrounding ancient civilizations.

This incident also reminds people that as the population on the planet continues to increase, the attraction to monsters is also getting stronger.

Many monsters are irrational, and humans are almost infinitely tempted by them. Even if they are shot in the head, they will swarm into the human world crazily.

Therefore, in the various spatial rifts in the corridors of the underworld, all kinds of monsters are ready to move, and they can hardly be suppressed.

Rather than passively defending, it’s better to take the initiative!

This is also the way the City of Clouds has always thought.

The first tentative war may not be far away.

The real scale this time will be huge!

With thoughts in mind, Lu Yiming drove his electric car to the administrative area.

The commercialization of private cars has also been a major change in the past five years. The automobile industry chain is also considered a high-end industry, enough to support hundreds of thousands of workers.

"Okay, let's go play with your sister-in-law." Lu Yiming got out of the car and kissed each of the children. "Be good, don't buy toys, and don't disturb your sister-in-law's driving!"

The children were still laughing happily and screaming, not knowing how they made such a sharp sound.

"goodbye!"

"Bye Dad!"

"Goodbye!" Lu Yiming smiled and waved again.

It's strange for children. A little thing can make them excited for a long time and then turn their backs on them in an instant.

Their mood swings seem to be a hundred times that of adults. What a wonderful time.

As for what it's like to be a father of three...

At the beginning, I felt a little overwhelmed. I felt that there were many things to do, the children were very irritable, and I didn’t know how to take care of so many children.

But over time, that's what happened.

When babies grow up, it becomes easier. They can talk to themselves in front of toys, play with one toy for a long time, and also play with each other.

Having a group of brothers and sisters is actually not bad.

If there is no crazy involution at the educational level, the cost of raising children is not that high.

Educational fairness is also what the City of Clouds is most concerned about. After all, it involves the most critical population fertility rate.

Now, the people in the City of Clouds are very satisfied with the housing issue. Since all houses are allocated, there is no such thing as high housing prices or housing in school districts, and the economic burden is not high. Therefore, the only thing that is likely to cause serious involution is children's education.

In the 12 years of compulsory education, starting from kindergarten, students go to the nearest school, starting from elementary school, and continuing to junior high school. It is basically a lottery system. Whichever school you are drawn to, you can only study in that school. Anyway, the whole city is only so big. Through the urban railway track, you can reach one end of the city and the other end of the city in 20 minutes.

The distribution of teaching staff also strives to be fair.

It is not until high school and college that talents are screened in a differentiated manner.

As long as education is fair, whether you learn well or not is your own business, and the fertility rate will not be too low.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yiming came to the Central Building to conduct a security inspection.

"Dip!" The ether value detector scanned his body several times. The characteristic value emitted by the soul fluctuation is the most accurate way to judge a person's identity. This is also one of the latest research results.

Entering the Central Building and arriving at the large conference hall, many people were already discussing the recent development of the City of Clouds. Many soldiers and high-level government officials said hello to Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming responded with a smile, "Hello."

He found his seat, took the information at hand, and read it carefully.

After about half an hour, everyone arrived and the lively discussion gradually stopped.

"Comrades, good afternoon." Premier Liang from the Department of the Interior came to the stage to speak: "As of today, it has been five years since the residents of the Orient were integrated. In these five years, we have made long-term development."

"Our current total population is 1.476636 people. Although we are still far away from a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, in the foreseeable future, it will grow slowly at an annual rate of 2%."

"In addition, we have encountered thirty-two foreign civilizations in the past five years. Currently, there are a total of 22 civilizations settled on the islands near the City of Clouds, with a total population of 483,300. These ancient civilizations Most civilizations can provide their own characteristic industries, but three of them are still in a state of internal chaos..."

The ancient civilization near the City of Clouds was divided into three levels. The first level of civilization was naturally the Great Jin Kingdom and the Giant Turtle Kingdom. These two countries have a good foundation, a good cultural environment, and are developing at the fastest speed.

The second level of civilization is a civilization that can provide superior specialties. For example, the Yuzhu Kingdom can provide high-quality spider silk cloth, the Sky Eye Kingdom can provide spiritual tea, etc. Now the City of Clouds has become a metropolis with a population of one million, and its consumption power has also increased significantly. As long as it develops advantageous industries, it can at least live a good life.

"So it's not useless to train so many younger brothers."

"Among the troops of the Sea of ​​Clouds Alliance, there are probably 20,000 ancient troops. How is their combat effectiveness?"

"It's not bad. The group that joined first has already formed a combat capability and can cooperate with our joint operations. The 10,000 people who joined later are still undergoing cultural training. Their comprehensive quality is not enough and they can only engage in some simple tasks. Fighting, large corps fighting is still difficult.”

"I've heard that birth rates in most ancient civilizations dropped quite a bit."

"Yes, for example, in the Jin Dynasty, the birth rate used to be 5%, but now it has slowly dropped to 3%. This is also an inevitable price of industrialization."
