Chapter 270 The inspiration of "Craftsman Talent" broke out!

Lu Tiantian's words actually had some selfish motives behind them.

He wanted to completely eliminate the "natural man".

He wants to completely change social concepts and dig out the roots of "natural persons". Only in this way can implicit discrimination be completely eliminated.

As if to convince Lu Yuan, Lu Tiantian produced a very powerful statistical data: "The main force of childbearing now is still the original first generation. A couple has almost completed their mission if they give birth to four or five children. They can't give birth indefinitely."

"The mismatch between longer life expectancy and ideology is the main reason for the current low fertility rate."

"In the Mandala Empire, there is no such contradiction, but it really exists here."

The Mandala Empire, as a feudal society.

A strong man can marry many wives.

A 300-year-old man still marries an 18-year-old.

Therefore, the fertility rate can be maintained.

But this is not the case in human society. The monogamous system, coupled with a significant increase in life expectancy, leads to a very low marriage rate.

Young people would rather play for another hundred years and make themselves stronger.

Everyone's aptitude for cultivation is different. If your partner cannot keep up with your pace and dies of old age, wouldn't that be causing trouble for you?

Therefore, starting from the second generation, the fertility rate has dropped significantly.

This is true. People like Lu Yuan are lucky to find someone with a similar lifespan... If he were to find a girl who would die of old age in 500 years, he would rather not look for her. After all, when I was still young, you were already old. This scene is really cruel.

The reason why the fertility rate is being maintained now is simply that middle-aged couples have not yet realized the situation and are still having children.

However, the popularity of new culture is inevitable.

Lu Tiantian continued: "The habitable population of Sky City is about 200,000. If 1,000 people are born each year, it will take us 100 years to reach this number."

"And as long as we find the Pandora's crystal deposits, the city can continue to expand. The former Green Civilization had a population of 100 million. Even if our population is a little less, we should expand to 50 million."

"If it's not public support, how long will it take to reach this population?"

"Now that this model has been developed, we think it's pretty good. It would be a pity to just abandon it. We can donate reproductive cells. I believe that students are willing to do so and cultivate the next generation."

"Of course, for those who want to give birth naturally, that's fine. Just like homosexuality exists, but it's not mainstream in society. Those who want to have children can still do so."

Lu Yuan was silent, he seemed unable to refute.

Lu Tiantian's mind was full of wonderful ideas, and now that he had a chance to show them off, he couldn't help but say, "Also, I suggest that when we return to the Rize civilization, we go back to the ruins of Sky City."

"Let's take some time to dig out the Pandora's crystals from the original city and prepare for the future expansion of the city."

"Raising a million children a year, quickly surpassing 100 million."

“No, no!” Lu Yuan quickly shook his head. This guy was too crazy. He whispered, “You need money! It’s expensive to support you. There are too many people and not enough resources to share…”

"Besides, the poppy tree is old and can no longer provide such a large computing power for the virtual world."

The resources he collected from the Meda civilization, including hundreds of pomegranates, honey, royal jelly, and extraordinary corn, have all been used up in the past twenty years!

Every year, the ripe fruits of the Tree of Life were given to the children, except for a batch left for the conch. He didn't use much of the rest himself...

Why should he raise more children? Everyone laughed.

Lu Yuan finally shook his head: "I need to think about this matter again."

"If you have any other opinions, please share them together."

Lu Tiantian swallowed his saliva and said, "I have thought about some of our current shortcomings."

"The first is that the scientific research system is rather chaotic and the evaluation system is not perfect. We must establish a scientific and technological evaluation system. Otherwise, without a reasonable evaluation mechanism, we will eventually become a society based on personal relationships."

Lu Yuan nodded. He was only good at two subjects: carving and forging extraordinary items.

The conch is a little more versatile and can do a little bit more.

But in the foreseeable future, disciplines will still be subdivided and it will be impossible for one person to master all the knowledge.

Therefore, a complete scientific research system is a must for the future.

"The second is that the media system is in chaos. We still rely on newspapers and radio for publicity. We need at least a television to meet modern publicity needs."

"We need to get a TV soon."

The 18th human civilization is indeed very developed, and it even has a virtual world like Green Paradise.

However, the use of the virtual world consumes the idealistic energy of the Poppy Tree.

Therefore, Lu Yuan tried to save money wherever possible and did not fully open it to the public.

Without the TV, it still feels a little lacking.

"The third is the chaotic financial system. I found that our currency is a complete mess. We even fixed the price of food. I don't know who came up with this crooked idea."

Lu Yuan’s face turned pale. It was me who suggested this.

"Our economic growth is much higher than the growth of food production capacity. If the currency is anchored to food, it is easy to cause deflation in the market due to insufficient currency."

This is also true. For example, a certain project has a budget of 1 billion yuan, but the value of grain produced in one year is only 100 million yuan.

Insufficient money will hinder development.

"Fourth, the system of rewards and punishments for students is not perfect. I think that after leaving school, some basic benefits are enough, and then everyone should rely on their own abilities for the rest of the time."

"It is normal to see some differences in life expectancy, especially when we are not wealthy."

“We can’t take care of everybody.”

Lu Yuan looked at him and sighed.

Now the living standards of children can indeed be guaranteed.

The biggest difference is actually lifespan...

In the supernatural age, the lifespan of the strong could reach one or two thousand years, while the weak could only live for one or two hundred years before their lifespan expired.

So how do strong people come into being?

resource!

As long as there are enough resources, even a pig can be stacked to level four or even level five!

If resources are sufficient, the conflict will not be serious.

But it is obvious that no civilization has resources as abundant as this, not even the green civilization.

So what Lu Tiantian meant was that everyone should rely on their own abilities.

Those who contribute more live longer, those who contribute less live shorter...

"This guy is really evil. He's already treating people like consumables before they even leave the campus..."

"As expected of someone who has been full of bad intentions since childhood."

Lu Yuan sighed, but he had no choice.

For a civilization to function normally, it cannot be all truth, goodness and beauty; it must have a dark side.

"Also, Dad Lu, what is the real combat effectiveness of our Sky City?" Lu Tiantian asked again.

"Very ordinary..."

"Then how did we capture Painted Skin alive? A phenomenon of this level shouldn't be that easy to deal with, right?"

"It was paralyzed by a depleted uranium bomb." Lu Yuan hesitantly.

There were quite a lot of onlookers during that battle, so it was a bit difficult to keep it completely secret.

But the combat effectiveness of civilization is actually a highly confidential topic.

There are all kinds of monsters and demons with many methods, and some of them might be able to read memories.

It is not a bad thing to be reserved with the people.

Lu Yuan began to change the subject: "Your Conch Mother is one of the top fighters in this civilization. I am slightly stronger than her, but not much."

"ah?"

Ever since Conch began simulating the use of [Spiritual Words], its combat power has skyrocketed. After all, [Spiritual Words] can cause explosions.

What's more, she also has some other abilities. Although they are only half-baked in nature, she is already very strong in ordinary-level battles.

"Is that so... My suggestion is that since we are still in the early stages of the Ninth Era, we should try to capture as many anomalies alive as possible." Lu Tiantian touched his chin, "It would be great if the Sky City could get moving sooner."

"As long as the sacrifice is within a certain level, I think it is worth it... Even if you ask me to sacrifice myself, I have no objection."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This time it was a closed-door meeting.

We chatted for a long time.

Everyone expressed their own opinions and spoke out with great vigor.

Young people's views, although somewhat bookish and idealistic.

However, at this moment, their starting point is good. They do not have so many vested interests and are solely focused on the development of the entire civilization.

They are really doing this for all mankind! Perhaps the gravity of reality will destroy many dreams.

But at this moment, a better future can only be fought for by idealists.

…

After this group of people left, Lu Yuan thought for a while in the office.

Hai Luo controlled the Green Paradise for half a minute, and quickly helped him print out the minutes of the meeting through the "Poppy Tree Printer" in the office. (Actually, it was a vine that could write.) Then Lu Yuan made a phone call and asked a few old subordinates to help with their opinions.

“The kids have really grown up…”

There were suggestions in all aspects, including science and technology, education, and industry. The old subordinates went to the door and patiently read through the documents one by one.

“Some steps are still a little too big.”

"It's really ambitious..."

In the technology group, Sha Mo, who is also a "super thinker", deeply understands how powerful the knowledge of these young people is.

From the perspective of professional knowledge, they are slightly inferior to the most hardworking people of the first generation.

After all, the first generation also had many amazing skills, and the time gap is difficult to make up.

But this group of people has very imaginative thinking.

"The construction plan of the Academy of Sciences, the insect nest biological factory, the carved three-dimensional defense project, the green universal factory...they really dare to think big!" Sha Mo took a breath, looking a little excited.

These are obviously future-level technologies, each of which requires huge investments and a large number of talents.

However, having more than 50,000 extra talents all of a sudden is indeed something to think about.

Then, his pupils shrank as he saw the next proposal, "Social Public Support Bill..."

Everyone fell silent and said nothing.

Among these former subordinates, some are more open-minded while others are more conservative. Faced with the tide of the new era, their brains are like rusty gears and they cannot offer much insight.

One by one...

Just pretend you didn’t see it.

After all, we have raised more than 50,000 people, what else can we do?

But there is one thing that everyone likes, so many key talents... it’s so cool!

The original number of talents was insufficient, and research in any direction was very slow. The fact that we haven't even developed a TV in all these years is a good proof of this.

There are now more than 2,000 PhDs in one batch of graduates!

In the next ten years, there will still be 50,000 talents who are slightly inferior but can still be of great use.

It smells so good!!

They can't wait to divide up the population!

"Everyone, I promised them that I would let them set up some research groups. So in many cases, they still have to volunteer. They can't be directly assigned work like in the past."

“We have to allow for some fluidity in the work.”

"Please work hard... Six years later, no matter what, we have to set off."

After this internal meeting, Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

He himself could not imagine that humans were rushing towards the direction of green civilization - perhaps this was the price of accepting the poppy tree! But compared to the lazy green civilization, the current human civilization was more motivated and energetic.

The most important point is to get the entire civilization moving!

Once you fall into the trap of laziness, you will die a slow death.

As he was thinking this, he came to the highest point of the Sky City, the top of the poppy tree, overlooking the entire city.

As the sun sets, the ancient city in the sky is shaded by green trees.

Thanks to human construction, this ancient city has been given new life.

Farms, livestock pens, factories, ponds, schools, everything is available.

Playful lovers walked across the campus, laughing and playing; the elderly were also at peace.

Many of them are service staff in schools and have watched the children grow up.

The workers finished their day's work and went home chatting and laughing.

The researchers are still working hard in the room.

Really... full of life.

Suddenly, a mysterious feeling arose in Lu Yuan's mind. His eyes seemed to penetrate the profound river of history and appreciate the meaning of civilization.

History, from his own struggle to the struggle of a group of people.

Later on, there will be more people struggling... until the day when he drives the city in the sky back to the human race, how sensational will that be? The vision became strange, with distortions of light and shadow.

His heart raced as he quickly realized what it was.

The inspiration of "craftsman talent" burst out!

Sudden bursts of inspiration are really rare. So far, in my more than sixty years of life, I have only had them three times.

In the past 24 years, Lu Yuan has been taking time to learn the forging knowledge of green civilization and improve his skills.

Especially leather sewing, he has studied the "Daedalus's Forging Manual" for twenty years! The output of each piece of equipment can actually improve the foundation of civilization. All the extraordinary materials left by the Mandala Empire have been used by Lu Yuan to practice.

But he never dared to touch the immortal-level Painted Skin leather.

"Haha, today is the day!!"
