Chapter 815 Shocked ([-])

"In 2021 AD, the United States, China, and the European Union jointly conducted research on the Mars spacecraft; in 2040 AD, the three countries jointly manufactured the first spaceship, and since then they can easily leave the earth and travel in space; in 2042 AD, human beings in First wormhole discovered near Saturn in the solar system; AD 20..."

"and many more!"

Yun Yi interrupted him: "A wormhole was discovered in 2042? So, in the history of space exploration, humans discovered wormholes first, and then discovered other planets?"

Bai Kaixin glared at him displeasedly: "I don't like people interrupting me!"

Yun Yi smiled sheepishly: "Then you continue, I won't talk."

"Hmph." Bai Kaixin then continued: "You also know about wormholes. There are a lot of tinctured lanthanum compound rays in them, which can cause fatal damage to the human body. When the wormhole was first discovered, the Three Kingdoms were excited. Under the circumstances, the spaceship was immediately organized to enter, but when the spaceship flew back, all the crew on the ship died. Despite the setbacks, the Three Kingdoms did not give up because of this, organized a large number of manpower to study it, and finally built a protective facility , Three years later, in 2045, the spaceship was sent again, and successfully passed through the wormhole to reach the extremely distant starry sky. This year is designated as the first year of the cosmic calendar."

Yun Yi didn't speak this time, but just listened silently.

Bai Kaixin continued: "Although we have walked out of the solar system and discovered wormholes, the spaceship's flight speed is very slow because the warp drive has not been researched, and habitable planets have never been discovered. There is no planet that can be used for human habitation at all. In this way, until the 26th year of the cosmic calendar, human beings finally discovered the first habitable planet, and it has been out of control since then. Started marching like the hundredth habitable planet."

Speaking of this, Bai Kaixin looked at Yunyi and said, "Do you know what was most lacking in every country in that era?"

"Spaceship!" Yun Yi replied confidently: "As long as there are a large number of spaceships, it means that we can explore more starry sky and find more habitable planets!"

"Wrong answer!" Bai Kaixin looked at him with disdain.

Yun Yi thought for a while and said, "Energy?"

"wrong."

"mineral resources?"

"wrong."

"Advanced technology?"

"Nor."

Yun Yi searched for several answers, all of which were rejected by Bai Kaixin. He couldn't help asking: "What the hell is that?"

Bai Kaixin smiled: "Human!"

"people?"

"That's right, it's people." Bai Kaixin said: "In that era, people were important to fly spaceships, develop new planets, produce various equipment and facilities, build houses, and build spaceships. Everything needs people. Therefore, in that era, the most lacking thing is people. Every country vigorously promotes the policy of encouraging births. Couples who are healthy but do not have children will be thrown into prison, and those who have one child will They will be looked down upon by others. Those with two children can only be regarded as ordinary. Those with four children can get a lot of subsidies every year. Women with more than eight children will even be subsidized by the state. Award the medal..."

Yun Yi's eyes were full of astonishment: "Doesn't that mean that women in that era were completely used as reproductive machines?"

"This statement is not wrong." Bai Kaixin said flatly: "As long as a woman gives birth to more than three children, the monthly subsidy given to her by the state has already surpassed most other people. What do you think, Is it worthwhile to work hard outside every day, or as long as you are pregnant and free at home, is it worth the high subsidy? In order to get more population, some countries have even begun to study human cloning... But, for some reason, the cloned Human beings are not only unable to reproduce offspring, but also have a very short lifespan. Generally, they do not live to be 20 years old. After the result, it was considered to be a genetic problem and began to modify human genes. Later, although it had to be terminated under the joint sanctions of various major powers, many strange-looking humans were created. They are the ancestors of all the sub-human tribes. .”

"So that's how the sub-human tribe came here..." Yun Yi murmured.

Bai Kaixin continued: "Although all countries made great efforts to create more population at that time to make up for the shortage of human resources in all aspects, you also know that the larger the base of population, the faster it will grow. At this point, Bai Kaixin suddenly asked: "Then do you know which country had the largest population at that time?"

Yun Yi shook his head: "This is not mentioned in the history books."

Bai Kaixin chuckled: "When the Mars spacecraft was discovered in 2021 AD, the most populous country on earth was India with a population of 21 billion; followed by China with a population of 20 billion; the European Union with a population of 7 million; the United States with a population of just under 6 million people; the ridiculous thing is that at that time, due to the lack of resources on the earth and the increasing difficulty of raising children, families in many countries had only one child or even none. Until 2040, when the spaceship was manufactured, All three countries have realized the problem of population, and they all started to encourage births. In order to increase the population, the three countries also relaxed the entry conditions. No matter which country people are from, as long as they are willing, the two countries can provide them with air tickets, housing and basic life. Guarantee. Of course, the leaders of other countries are not fools, and immediately strictly controlled the population outflow. Until the first year of the universe in 2045, China had a population of 65 billion, the European Union 21 billion, and the United States 19 billion. After that, it entered the space age , when the time reaches the 218th year of the cosmic calendar, the population of China has reached a terrifying 1200 billion, the European Union is 300 billion, and the population of the United States is still the smallest, only 230 billion..."

"how can that be!"

Yun Yi couldn't help shouting: "How could there be so many people? Take the Zhao Song Empire ten years ago as an example. The Zhao Song Empire with more than 100 planets had a population of less than 300 billion! At that time, the entire population Humans have only discovered 100 planets, how could so many people be needed?"

Bai Kaixin looked at him speechlessly: "Don't you know how backward the technology was at that time? Take the manufacture of a spaceship as an example, now only a few dozen people are required to start the assembly line, and the spaceships can be built one after another. At that time, just to build a piece of armor plate required at least hundreds of skilled workers, including sheet metal workers, welders, surveyors, inspectors, computer experts, etc... You know, at that time In this era, as China, the most powerful country, does not manufacture more than [-] spaceships every year, each of which is a very valuable thing. Besides the manufacturing of spaceships, other aspects can be imagined. "

"So that's how it is." Yun Yi suddenly realized.

Bai Kaixin said coldly: "It seems that you are not too stupid."

Yun Yi thought for a while, and then asked: "China's population is mainly Han, and it is reasonable to say that the Han population was the largest, but at that time, other countries also had a large population. For example, the India you mentioned, the population at the beginning It is more than China, even if the government wakes up later, but if we speed up the time, the population should be quite large, right? And..." Yun Yi asked a little puzzled: "I also read about India from history books Human characteristics, why are there no Indians in the universe now? I don’t seem to have seen any.”

Bai Kaixin said: "The main race in India is the Hindustani. Not only have you never seen it, but I haven't seen it either. This race should be the same as the He tribe, it must be extinct."

"He clan?" It was another race that had never been heard of before, which aroused Yun Yi's curiosity.

Bai Kaixin laughed and said: "Well, the He clan, also known as the Yamato nation. The main ethnic group in Japan before the dark age. The He clan and the Hindustan people should have become extinct during the dark age."

"It's the dark age again..." Yun Yi muttered: "If I asked you how they became extinct, you would definitely say not to tell me yet, right?"

Bai Kaixin laughed loudly: "I didn't see it, you are getting smarter now. Okay, it's late, I'm going to bed, I'll talk about something tomorrow."

After leaving Bai Kaixin's room, Yun Yi did not rush back, but sat on the open space of the Panshi base, looking up at the sky.

India... Japan... Hindustani... Kazu... "Dark Ages... What the hell are they?"
