Universe dominance

"Brother Fu, we have thoroughly understood all the technologies in this alien base. In fact, we have already mastered most of the technologies. That is, we have gained something from the technology of the plasma engine, and the second is their computer technology. , because the language of Lorne civilization has similar ideograms to our Chinese, so it is a great inspiration for our Chinese programming.”

At this time, almost 2 months have passed since the alien civilization base on Ceres was discovered. During this period, the scientists on the "Ocean" have analyzed the entire base inside and out, and everything has been analyzed. Study carefully.

"It seems it's almost time to return to Earth. There's not much energy left on the spacecraft."

After listening to Chen Bin's words, Li Fu nodded. In fact, for Li Fu, this alien base has no technology worth learning at all. There are countless advanced technologies among the seeds of civilization that have not yet been learned. It is just a matter of staying here. It's just a pretense for the outside world to see. I've long wanted to return to Earth.

"Haha, Li Fu, this time is really not in vain, the harvest is huge."

At this time, Li Fu's teachers Liu Yi and Liu Shiying came over with very loud voices.

This time he followed the "Ocean" spacecraft on an investigation. Not only did he discover extraterrestrial life on Mars, but there were also aliens and many kinds of alien plants on Ceres for him to study. It can be said that he has been busy all the time. Keep up the good work and gain a lot.

"The life on Lorne is similar to the life on our earth. They are all carbon-based life, and they also have double helix genes. The Lorne people also evolved slowly from living things. Their ancestors are actually similar to us on earth. , evolved from an ape-like animal on the planet Lorne.”

"It's no wonder that their appearance is actually very similar to that of our people on Earth. They have flat noses, pointed ears, and blue skin. Their ancestors should have lived in very dense virgin forests."

Liu Yi happily talked about his research results. Skater Yong's body was made into a specimen, and some of the plants on the Lorne planet that he brought over were also carefully protected by scientists. These came from 8.6 Plants that are light years away are very valuable.

"You are laughing, but I am full of worries now. The technological level of the Lorne civilization 50 years ago has almost reached our current level. 50 years have passed, and we don't know how far it has developed. If there is an invasion in the future, In our solar system, we don’t know if we can live in a low-end environment.”

However, Liu Shiying could not laugh at all. He carefully studied all the technologies in this alien base, and after a scientific and rigorous analysis with scientists on the earth, he concluded that there is a full 50-year gap between the technology of the earth and the technological level of the Lorne civilization. , so everyone is very worried now.

"Soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. Worry will not solve the problem. We should work harder to research technology."

"Old Liu, teacher, do you think we are almost ready to return to Earth?"

Li Fu smiled helplessly, and then discussed returning to Earth with Liu Shiying and Liu Yi.

…

On the other side, Earth China, because of the decision made at the Supreme Meeting, the Chinese official side began to release the news, encourage births, improve the quality of the population, and vigorously develop science and technology. These three policies have become the basic policies for dominating the starry sky in the future. Through the news media and the virtual world Wait for the channels to start making announcements.

"Many children, many blessings!"

"Four generations living under one roof, five generations living under one roof, the happiness of a family."

“The Disadvantages and Dangers of Only Children, and More.”

All kinds of propaganda content began to appear in the eyes of the Chinese people. In the past, it was all about having fewer children and giving birth to more children, and only one child is better. Now, the opposite is happening, and the government has begun to encourage childbirth.

Of course, the real policy has not been finalized yet. We are just blowing the air now to see how the domestic people respond. This is also the official approach of the Chinese government. Nothing will be implemented immediately. After all, this is a matter related to the great cause of the Chinese nation. It is not Child's play.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, it was unexpected that the Chinese people would actively respond to the country's call, but the real situation is that there is very little response, and the people's desire to have children is very low. Among related discussion topics in the virtual world, basically everyone said You won’t have too many children, two at most, and many people even choose to have only one.

"We used to have forced family planning, but now we are encouraging rabbits to have more babies. Could it be that they found that there are too few rabbits and don't have enough to eat, so they are kind-hearted and started to let us have babies. I will not be fooled. Beat them to death." I will only have one child at most, and I am not even planning to have a child.”

"That is, it is better to have only one child, and the country will provide for the elderly. It is better to have only one child, and the government will help provide for the elderly, and then you cannot rely on the state for elderly care. It is better to postpone retirement and take care of the elderly by yourself. Who still believes it? I would rather die than give birth to another rabbit. ”

"Four generations living under one roof? Five generations living under one roof? You really have to think too much. Living in China, it is enough to live to 60. I got married at 30 and had a son at 31. I will be able to see my grandson when I die. That’s pretty good.”

In various forums, topics like this are very popular and have received support from many people. Regarding the current promotion and encouragement of fertility, rabbits basically have no reaction at all, and they all express whether they can give birth. They cannot afford to raise or raise children, and their desire to have children is very low.

This is just like the original development of the second child. The number of newborns in the country did not explode as experts expected. Instead, the number of newborns dropped by more than 200,000 a year. Long-term family planning propaganda , which has caused huge changes in the Chinese people's concept of fertility.

Now I want to change everyone's thoughts and concerns at once. The difficulty is similar to when we promoted family planning. It is very difficult and takes time. Of course, more importantly, although everyone's living standards are now much higher than before, I don't know. , but the pressure of life is still very high, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and houses, cars, education, and medical care are still heavy mountains.

In early January 2025, the "Ocean" spacecraft finally returned to Earth after more than two years of scientific investigation. When Li Fu set foot on the earth, he couldn't help but take a few heavy breaths of air. However, As soon as Li Fu returned to Earth, he was immediately called to the imperial capital by Tang Yunshan.

In the center of the Chinese Imperial Capital, in a quiet courtyard, Tang Yunshan rarely had time to relax. He drank tea with Li Fu and chatted about his views on the future.

"I don't know what young people think today. None of them want to give birth. Last year, there were hundreds of thousands fewer newborns in our country. The proportion of elderly people over 60 years old in our country has reached nearly 1/2 The level of 3 is really worrying.”

In the past, Tang Yunshan did not pay much attention to the population, but since he proposed to encourage childbirth, he attached great importance to this area. After careful study, he discovered an unexpected problem. China's population is about to appear. Huge problem.

The number of newborns is decreasing every year, and aging is getting more and more serious, and the speed is very fast, but the corresponding equipment support, medical care, etc. simply cannot keep up.

So at this time, Tang Yunshan seemed worried and helpless about the situation in front of him. Even though he had mastered the greatest power in the country, he still could not change the situation in front of him.

"Old Tang, do you really not know why young people don't want to have children?"

Li Fu nodded slightly after listening. Li Fu knew from the seeds of civilization that in the interstellar universe era, every civilization attaches great importance to population growth, because only a larger population can occupy more resources and planets. , if the population continues to decrease, how can we compete with other civilizations?

"Please enlighten me."

Tang Yunshan was sitting up and asking for advice very seriously.

"I think there are two reasons why young people are reluctant to have children. On the one hand, it is because of the long-term family planning propaganda, so everyone thinks that it is better to have only one child. The other very important reason is that people's lives are now very stressful. "The cost of raising a child is too high, so no one is willing to have children. Even if they are allowed to have children, they will not give birth."

Li Fu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts. Low fertility rate is a problem that almost every developed country will encounter. Of course, China's fertility rate is now even lower than that of chickens in the foot pot and Nanbangzi, and compared with European and American countries. It is even lower. It has reached a very dangerous edge, and population collapse is very likely to happen.

"I can understand the first reason. The second reason is that life is stressful. I think everyone's living standards are much better now than before. Even in rural areas, everyone has houses and cars. Life is really stressful. "Big?"

Tang Yunshan thought for a while and said with some confusion.

"Life is of course very stressful. Although our country's economic development has been very good in recent years, the big problems existing in our country have not been solved. If the problems of medical care, elderly care, education, and housing are not fundamentally solved, To solve the problem, the other three aspects of social fairness, justice, and openness have not been improved at all. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and social classes are slowly solidifying. These are the fundamental problems that need to be solved now. Only Once these problems are solved, I think everyone’s desire to have children will gradually increase.”

Li Fu pondered for a while and kept sorting out the words in his mind. Tang Yunshan himself was born in a big family and lived a privileged life since he was a child. Of course, he would not understand some of the difficulties faced by ordinary people. He only knew that the living standards of ordinary people now are much higher than before. But they don’t know the real problems faced by the people.
