Chapter 317: A Brand New Fertility Model

This can be seen from the increasingly subtle attitudes of various countries towards the Civilized Science City and Huaguo.

Since Civilization Science City can build so many spaceships that can be used by humans to emigrate to the moon in an extreme time, it is conceivable that their technological level has surpassed the major countries by how much!

Fortunately, f-1704 is about to attack the earth.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Civilized Science City, it might not be difficult to unify the world.

With complicated thoughts.

Everyone took a low-altitude aircraft and left the agricultural ecological area.

The fourth ecological region is the residential area.

This ecological region is at the core of the seven ecological communities, surrounded by marine ecological communities, tropical rainforest ecological communities, tropical grassland ecological communities and agricultural ecological communities.

The air here is fresh and the environment is beautiful.

Before entering here, everyone couldn't believe that the residential area of ​​Guanghan City looked like this.

"I'll go! The environment here is too awesome!"

"Love love!"

"."

The bionic robot seemed to have not heard the crowd's exclamation, and introduced with a smile: "The residential area is the first city in Guanghan City and the second largest area, second only to the marine ecological community. The total area here reaches 11.7 square kilometers. The area is 23.6 square kilometers."

"Such a high total living area?"

Even though he was born in a prosperous city like Yangcheng, Zhu Xia was shocked to hear that the living area was twice as large as the land area.

You know, this is not the earth, but the moon without any supplies!
Here, all the supplies of the residents are provided by several other ecological communities.

Not to mention other things, just talk about the four most basic aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

The raw materials of clothes come from the agricultural area, the production is from the industrial area, the food is produced from the agricultural area, the house is in the residential area, and the travel depends on the low-altitude aircraft.

From this point of view, the seven ecological communities in the first urban area of ​​Guanghan City seem to have solved all the basic survival needs of residents.

As for material circulation and energy consumption, there is regulation of an artificial ecosystem and a large nuclear reactor to provide energy.

It can be said that as long as the ecological system of Guanghan City does not collapse, this place can really become the last Garden of Eden for mankind.

However, this is just a dream after all!

Even in the extremely broad ecosystem of the earth, there will be a sharp increase in resource consumption due to the large population growth, making the population and resources extremely unbalanced, let alone here.

therefore.

Guanghan City looks like everything is in order, but in fact it is fragile.

Because the species balance of other ecological communities can be adjusted artificially, but what about human beings themselves?

Whether Guanghan City needs new population to be born in the future, if not, then 100 years later, this place will be a dead land, and the word colonization will be reduced to a joke.

If it is born, how to strictly control population growth?
You know, no matter how beautiful Guanghan City is built.

But its small area is doomed to cause both physical and psychological pressure on the people living here. If birth control is prohibited at this time, the residents' psychology will collapse before the ecological system collapses.

Sometimes, people live not only to meet material needs, but also need something called hope.

Without hope, even if the humans in Guanghan City escape the end of the earth, it will become a spiritual desert!
therefore.

The normal birth pattern, or the normal family pattern, will no longer be suitable for humans in Guanghan City.

In fact, looking closely at the development of human civilization, the birth method of forming a family did not exist at the beginning.

in primitive times.

Humans' initial reproductive methods are no different from ordinary wild animals. At that time, there was no concept of family.

With the improvement of human intelligence and productivity, human beings began to divide continuously, forming tribes based on blood relationship.

This is the formation of consanguineous families, which is the earliest family model.

However, the consanguineous family at this time is a tribe formed by a dozen or dozens of people. In this tribe, the relationship between the sexes is chaotic.

Then, with the improvement of human intelligence, it was gradually discovered that breeding between close relatives would bring great disadvantages to future generations.

Thus, the concept of human natural selection began to take shape.

The form of the family has gone one step further.

Later, human beings gradually entered the family model of matrilineal society and patrilineal society, and finally formed the family model of modern society.

From a scientific point of view.

Changes in family patterns are conducive to the natural optimization of human genes.

But that was before!
In fact, from the perspective of the entire human civilization, based on the understanding of human genes by the Academy of Civilization Sciences, it has long been possible to replace natural selection of offspring with artificial selection of offspring.

In other words, the natural selection model of the family can no longer keep up with the development of technology.

Back to the perspective of Guanghan City.

The biggest dilemma of Guanghan City is its fragile ecosystem compared to the earth.

Although this ecosystem has various means of artificial intervention, it always has a limit, and the limit here refers to the maximum capacity of residents.

That is, the maximum population that Guanghan City can survive.

According to Ling's preliminary calculations, the No. 25 District of Guanghan City is expected to accommodate a maximum population of about [-] people.

To be honest, this population is far from reaching the goal of keeping the fire of humanity in the Civilized Science City.

According to Ling's calculations, only when Guanghan City accommodates a population of 1000 million will humans have the opportunity to continue to promote technological progress again.

Otherwise, the lack of resources and insufficient population will only lead to fewer and fewer geniuses being born and human civilization to decline.

It has to be admitted that it is only those few geniuses who can really push forward the advancement of human civilization.

And those few geniuses can only be born from a huge population base.

of course.

Some people may say that gene modulation technology can be used to turn all the newborn population into geniuses.

But in reality, this approach works in the short term and has little effect in the long term.

Because even the R-type clones in the Academy of Civilization and Science still have a huge gap between them.

Therefore, in the short term, the use of gene modulation technology can indeed improve the intelligence of the residents of Guanghan City.

But from a long-term perspective, the small population base will only lead to a continuous reduction in the level of human intelligence, and even eventually fall to the level before the use of gene modulation technology.

To sum up, the human beings in Guanghan City urgently need a technology that can maintain a stable population size and structure—in vitro pregnancy technology!
In fact, the foundation of this kind of technology has long been possessed by the Academy of Civilization Sciences, that is, in vitro cloning technology!
However, unlike cloning technology, in vitro pregnancy technology has an additional prerequisite, that is, artificial gene pairing.
