Chapter 218
At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the long-awaited "one-day" luxury holiday has finally arrived!
Of course, "one day" is for high-level officials like Zhang Yuan, and the rest of the ordinary commoner still has a five-day holiday.
"I haven't had a good rest for a whole year."
Looking back on the tremendous changes in the entire civilization throughout the year, Zhang Yuan sighed and sighed again.
When I got home, I slept beautifully and drowsily slept till nine o'clock in the morning, very happy. Sleeping can make people feel happy, which is simply unimaginable in the past.
Then accompanied his wife to watch a sci-fi movie "Under Deep Space", a sci-fi blockbuster shot by Earth Civilization, and various cool interstellar war scenes, which made him excited.
Finally, I wandered around in the newly constructed ecological park and sat on the lawn to have a simple and simple dinner.
In the blink of an eye, when you close your eyes, time slips away like this.
The unfathomable mystery of a day’s holiday is over...
It can be expected that in the next year, there will be basically no such holiday, unless next year In the Spring Festival, maybe another day off.
Even if there is a little regret, Zhang Yuan did not complain too much. On the 2nd day of the new year, he started the new year's work.
At present, many large and small affairs are simply outrageous, including industry, agriculture, and service industries, all of which require smarter robots. Oh, and the newly promulgated population policy...
This policy will be officially reported by the media today. It is already foreseeable that there will be a huge wave of civil society.
However, judging from the rumors, the current public opinion can still be controlled. Fortunately, most of the spaceships are youngsters, and they are still in a state of childlessness. This policy will have a smaller impact on them. . Well, youngster is more open-minded and easier to accept new things. Although I complain a few words now, after a long time, I can gradually accept it.
When Zhang Yuan returned to his office, he found that one report after another had filled the entire mailbox, waiting for his review.
These reports are all written by people, which shows that many people, like him, don’t take many holidays. Even these hard-working surface workers don't take a lot of holidays, not to mention their high-level staff.
He quickly devoted himself to work.
"...As of 12 noon today, the transportation railway between the B3 iron ore resource point and the surface central industrial center has been officially completed. The intelligent train has passed the driverless test, and the carrying capacity of each trip It is about 6,000 tons. It can transport 18,000 tons of ore back and forth three times a day."
"It is estimated that at the resource point B3, Early-Stage will put in two excavators and have daily iron ore collection capacity. A total of 6,300 tons."
Zhang Yuan frowned, which means that the carrying capacity of the train is much greater than the gathering capacity?
But there is no way. This kind of excavation equipment is relatively complex and large. Some key components are brought from Earth. The new civilization cannot be produced, and some parts have to be relied on. Heavy metal 3D printing equipment printed out. At the current rate, only one can be assembled a month.
Higher-end industrial machines are preparing to produce various medical equipment. On the one hand, they are medicines and equipment that can delay aging and provide expert lifespan. On the other hand, it is about artificial uterus technology equipment, various nutrition equipment, and medical equipment to prepare for the future baby boom.
"Fortunately, the current amount of minerals collected has long been sufficient for current use. The production capacity of surface steel smelters has not even been able to consume so much iron ore."
In the development of a civilization, there are always so many bottlenecks. Just the mining, transportation, and smelting of minerals will cause so many imbalances. The task of Zhang Yuan's department is to open up the two lines of government and government in the entire civilization and prevent overcapacity in a certain industry.
Under this overall plan, even though there are still some large and small problems, in general, the entire civilization is still in a vigorous development momentum...
Next, Zhang Yuan's pupils were slightly enlarged, and the new issue of "Times Weekly" should be updated!
……
"Latest news! Geologists have discovered a new large-scale uranium mine 180 kilometers away. According to the current electricity consumption, its reserves can allow us Used for a thousand years!"
"Various nuclear fission units are under urgent research. According to informed sources, this planet has a small amount of magnetic field on its surface, and almost all the helium-3 brought by the solar wind is covered by the magnetic field. It is squeezed out. Because the cost of collecting nuclear fusion fuel is too high, the use of nuclear fusion energy is not as economical as fission energy!"
"Latest news! A zone ecological park has been completed, visit the gate The fare is only 1 yuan. According to people familiar with the matter, after the Spring Festival holiday, it will be open to the public for free..."
"...The sci-fi blockbuster "Under Deep Space" from Earth Civilization received The audience’s unanimous praise!"
"...The proposal for batch incubation of babies with artificial uterus technology was approved by the Council of Science!"
This is the "Times" published by the new government. "Weekly", each priced at 0.5 yuan, once a week, mainly publishes the big news that happened this week, major events. Compared with the substantial content inside, the price is not too expensive, and the monthly expenditure is only two yuan, basically everyone can afford it.
The main reason for creating this kind of newspaper is to improve the transparency of information and promote the sense of social responsibility of the expert people.
As a citizen of a new civilization, allowing them to experience the feeling of slow progress in civilization will generate a unique sense of accomplishment and destination. It is because of everyone's hard work that the wheel of history is slowly pushed forward.
This kind of progress is inseparable from everyone's efforts.
In this issue of the newspaper, the most important content is the "Batch Incubation of Infants Bill Using Artificial Uterus Technology", which was actually...passed!
It's just amazing!
Unexpectedly, the passage of this bill allowed all kinds of Ox Head and Horse Face to take advantage of this opportunity to get out, including the comments of some experts and professors, and the cheers of various feminists.
Some feminists don’t know what to think, and even think that this bill has achieved true equality between men and women. Men do not have children and women do not have children, and neutral machines are used to give birth to children. It's a dreamlike equality!
On the Internet, there is almost a mess, and rational debates are okay, but all kinds of offensive speeches are directly deleted and banned, even without too much manpower. Intelligent algorithms will monitor the network environment. Don't let certain people with ulterior motives take the opportunity to make trouble.
Fortunately, this bill has been blowing in the ears for more than one day or two days. As early as the hibernation period, everyone has heard it, just blowing and blowing, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept ......
For the celebration of the New Year, at least there have been no protests such as demonstrations.
Anyway, for a bachelor like Wang Junpeng, it seems... okay.
"Hey, the whole society needs population, and we are not willing to give birth, so we can only do this." Wang Junpeng looked at the newspaper and explained the various reasons for issuing this decision, which was quite pertinent.
Although I still feel a little uncomfortable, these reasons are objective facts, and I don’t know how to refute them.
"The government raises children. What matters to us? It doesn't prohibit us from having children...I don't know what's unacceptable?" Xu Jie was immersed in playing games, and he said heartlessly, "It's very simple The reason is that if this bill is not enacted, there will be only such a small population after several decades, and the progress of industrial development will be slow. After the depreciation of the machinery brought on Earth, all mankind will die! In this case, those opponents think Do you want to commit suicide? I can’t figure it out..."
Wang Junpeng strangely said: "Of course it has something to do with us. Where does the money come from? It is the tax we pay! The tax we pay is used to support others The kid at home!"
