After ten years of sharpening the sword, one sword shocked the sky!

Chapter 187 [Voyage Fleet, New Birth Policy]

The powerful learning ability brought about by the national martial arts practice enables people to easily get positive feedback from learning and clearly feel their own progress.

This makes learning a less uncomfortable thing to do.

After learning has become a value commonly practiced by people.

Some people only regard this behavior of learning as a kind of adjustment to a boring life, and fill the emptiness in their hearts with the enrichment of learning, and they still like to have fun more in their hearts.

However, some people have gradually entered a state of being addicted to learning and feeling a kind of satisfaction that can not be brought by ordinary enjoyment, so they began to devote their time and energy to in.

But anyway, people get better and better over time.

And those who cannot integrate into this social atmosphere will be gradually eliminated by death as time goes by. After all, the existence of the Division of Reincarnation can only prolong life, but there is no way to make those who are unwilling to hone their true spirits live forever .

The newly born young generation, under this general environment, has a much higher probability of talents than before.

There are also some people who used to be addicted to desires. At this time, they started to catch up and gradually improved their learning progress. In a certain subject, they are close to the most cutting-edge scientific research at the moment, and become scholars who can participate in cutting-edge scientific research.

Although at the moment they can only help those senior scholars, they are undoubtedly much better than those who only knew how to eat, drink and play in the past.

Under such circumstances, the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty ushered in a brand new technological explosion.

With the efforts of many scholars, the interstellar spacecraft has been successfully developed.

An interstellar spacecraft and a star-class spacecraft are two concepts. An interstellar spacecraft means that the spacecraft has the ability to travel between multiple star systems, while a star-rated spacecraft means that the volume of the spacecraft itself is comparable to that of a star. stars.

The gap between the two is comparable to heaven and earth.

These interstellar spacecraft with an average speed of 15.00% of the speed of light and a maximum speed of 20.00% of the five-speed of light allow the Great Xia Xianchao to regard the entire solar system as a back garden.

According to the moving speed of 15.00% of the speed of light, it only takes two days to reach Uranus, which is 45 billion kilometers away from the water blue star, including the process of acceleration and deceleration.

This kind of movement speed makes today's Great Xia Dynasty fully equipped with the ability to easily mine the resources of the entire solar system.

At the speed of light of 15.00%, even if it is to go to the neighboring galaxy which is 4.3 light-years away to see if there are Trisolarans, it only takes less than 30 years.

Of course, this is just a joke. With the current level of technology of the Great Xia Dynasty, no traces of alien civilization have been found in the close starry sky of thousands of light years.

There are three possibilities, one is that they are hiding, the other is that there is no alien civilization in the first place, and the third is that there are some alien civilizations, but the level of civilization is still very low, and they do not have the ability to explore and move towards the starry sky.

For these speculations related to alien civilizations, many scholars of the Great Xia Dynasty, including Lin Lin, are temporarily unable to verify the authenticity.

The only thing we can do now is to develop ourselves as much as possible to meet the challenges that may come at any time.

In order to meet the increasing material demand of the Great Xia Dynasty, after the successful research of the interstellar spacecraft, the Great Xia Dynasty began to use all its resources to form an expeditionary colony fleet, expanding to many star systems around the solar system.

Mars became the production line for the expedition fleet.

These fleets are fully intelligent unmanned fleets. After they arrive at their destination, they will explore the distribution of various resources in the target galaxy and whether there is life.

At the same time, a fully automatic robot production line will be launched to directly build a transport spacecraft in the target galaxy, and transport the resources of these distant galaxies back to the solar system.

Long voyage is an extremely long process. It used to take decades, and it will take decades to come back, plus the time for construction and mining in the middle.

By the time the main part of the solar system can use the resources of these distant galaxies, the time is estimated to be 100 years later.

But it doesn't matter, before that, there are still many planets and satellites in the solar system that can be developed, and these resources are enough to support the needs of the Great Xia Dynasty.

That is to say, the current Great Xia Dynasty does not have the ability to mine stars. Otherwise, building the sun directly into a star factory can provide more matter and energy than hollowing out all the planets in nearby galaxies within dozens of light-years.

During the formation of the interstellar fleet, a small number of people in the Great Xia Dynasty proposed to participate in long-distance voyages, to go to distant galaxies to satisfy their curiosity, and to participate in scientific research by the way.

In this regard, Lin Lin rejected them all.

Because the long-distance interstellar fleet does not need people at all, and neither does mining and transportation. Artificial intelligence can do all the work, and it is necessary to manufacture additional life support systems to bring people there, which is a waste of resources.

Of course, as the master of heaven, Lin Lin did not completely deny the wishes of these people who wanted to go on a long voyage.

Just ask them to pay for the resources consumed during the voyage, which is definitely the cost price.

Unmanned transport spacecraft need to consider how to ensure the safety of the spacecraft body and internal instruments, while manned spacecraft also need to consider various conditions for people to live, such as physical health and mental health.

The construction of manned transport spacecraft and unmanned transport spacecraft is completely two levels of consumption.

The long series of 0s directly dissuaded all the people who wanted to see poetry and distant places. All the wealth they had accumulated over thousands of years was not enough, and they had to borrow another 500 years from the sky to prolong their lives to make up enough. one's own expenses.

But they know that this is the real cost price, so they don't even have the courage to protest.

This is because these people who want to go to the distant place are all scholars of the Great Xiage Academy. In addition to meritorious deeds, they also have high income from scientific research work. Ten thousand years is not enough.

For Lin Lin, apart from the fact that it is unnecessary to prevent these people from sailing, another very important factor is that they do not want the Great Xia Dynasty to split.

Based on the knowledge these scholars possess, in the distant galaxies several light-years away, if they have the will, they have every chance to tamper with the long-distance fleet and take away its control.

With such a long distance, even with Lin Lin's current movement speed, it is beyond his reach.

With such a fleet, it is possible to flee to the starry sky and disappear from now on, or to use the fully automatic robot production line to sweep the starry sky like locusts, and pull up many fleets to counterattack the solar system where the Great Xia Dynasty is located.

Although Lin Lin didn't care much about the two, and it could be solved with his combat power, it was still troublesome.

Before solving it, it will undoubtedly share his civilized authority, reduce his luck, and delay his cultivation, so the best way to deal with it is of course to solve it directly at the source, and directly prevent possible troubles from appearing.

In the future, the restrictions on voyage to the starry sky will definitely be relaxed, but it must be after Lin Lin masters the means of moving faster than the speed of light, so that he can suppress the rebellion at any time and maintain the cohesion of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Otherwise, let it go at will, let the entire human civilization disperse into the starry sky, and each become the princes and kings of the separate side, just asking for trouble for himself.
-
In the 200th year of the Great Xia Celestial Calendar, the number of people on Shuilan became less and less.

People began to gather in the starry sky, living in the heavenly court, and living in the space cities built near Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus.

In these places, people can easily absorb the essence of the sun and the moon for their own cultivation, saving a lot of electricity expenses for cultivation.

As for the decrease in the population on the Water Blue Planet, apart from people moving to the starry sky, a more important factor is that the newborn population is decreasing.

With the complete end and passing of the farming era, materials have become extremely abundant, and the average life expectancy has been greatly extended. People began to spend more time and energy on themselves, and they began to invest more in themselves after earning money. body.

In the past, there was a bait that could get a lot of merit rewards for giving birth to offspring, which stimulated people and kept them enthusiastic about giving birth.

But as the per capita cultivation level becomes higher, people pray for a day to get more merit than having children in the past.

In this case, the traditional family system is disintegrated, and people's willingness to have children becomes very low.

Although there are still children being born, the reason for the birth of these children is definitely no longer the utilitarian reason for adding labor to the family to increase productivity in the agricultural era, or the utilitarian reason for having children in the merit era to obtain higher merit. .

In this era, couples who are willing to have children can only do so because of one factor.

That is love.

Therefore, children born in this era are happy. They will receive unreserved love and education from their parents, and they will feel a very good family atmosphere. They will not be regarded as dispensable burdens, nor will they be regarded as Tools to increase productivity.

However, the greatly reduced newborn population still illustrates a problem.

Even in this era, love is still a luxury, and people still love themselves more.

There are only a few people who have love, and even fewer couples who are willing to have children together. In the 200th year of the Xianli calendar, the annual increase in population has directly decreased from tens of millions per year in the past to less than 100 million per year.

This also makes the current Great Xia Xian Dynasty basically have a fixed population of [-] billion.

If it weren't for the existence of the Reincarnation Division, which greatly increased the average life expectancy of the entire society, it is estimated that the population would begin to experience negative growth at this moment.

"Not so good."

Lin Lin shook his head, watching the current social situation.

Although as people's cultivation level is getting higher and higher, more and more vows are provided to all beings, and now Lin Lin has obtained 500 million drops of divine power every year, but he still feels that it is not good.

The higher a civilization develops, the more people it needs.

Although the vast majority of the population does not have the potential to become scholars and cannot contribute to the progress of civilization, only a large enough population base can produce enough scholars to support the progress of civilization and science. This is a law that cannot be changed for the time being.

Moreover, Lin Lin also needs more people to provide him with enough wish power for all beings.

The current situation in the Great Xia Xian Dynasty is not that insufficient resources make people’s lives difficult so they have no desire to have children, but because people’s living standards are so good that people begin to pursue higher spiritual needs than reproduction, which leads to a decline in the birth rate.

People's willingness to have children has not decreased, but the interval between births has been lengthened, from the past 20 years to the current situation where there may be only one generation in 200-[-] years.

Although the improvement of the average quality of the population can make up for the shortage of the population to a certain extent, Lin Lin still hopes to have both.

"Use technical means."

After Lin Lin noticed this problem, he immediately had a solution in his mind. With the life science technology he has mastered at the moment, it is completely possible to mass-produce human beings.

It is nothing more than adjusting the genetic information of those clones to a certain extent to produce a brand new individual with completely different appearance and genetic information.

But in an instant, Lin Lin shook his head again, rejecting this idea.

If human beings are mass-produced, it is true that these mass-produced humans can be raised by technological means, but they will definitely have gaps and conflicts with those natural people, and cannot identify with each other's identities.

If this kind of social conflict is allowed to ferment, the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be torn apart, and even his reputation will be damaged by then.

His purpose is to harvest more sentient beings' wish power, not to reduce his own income.

"Let's encourage birth first."

After thinking about it, Lin Lin promulgated some new policies.

The first is to increase the merit rewards for giving birth to offspring, which has been directly increased by a hundred times. Even for many Great Xia people whose merit income has increased at present, it is very attractive.

At the same time, the promotion of artificial womb technology can help those couples who want to have children but do not want to delay their own cultivation to conceive offspring, and can conceive the child to the three-year-old stage when the mind is initially grown, and get through the annoying stage of the baby crying at the beginning.

Then there is the announcement of complete socialized upbringing, where childcare robots can help complete the education and guidance of children.

The three-pronged approach increases the material rewards, and solves the pain and trouble of raising human cubs, leaving only the joy of raising offspring, so that every citizen of Great Xia can feel that the court encourages childbirth sincerity.

As a result, the newborn population, which had fallen to the bottom, began to pick up again, returning to more than 1000 million newborns per year.

After people became familiar with artificial wombs, socialized upbringing, and regarded machine-assisted reproduction as a common sense, Lin Lin, as the master of heaven, proposed a brand new fertility policy.

All people donate germ cells!
