Qin Yubai hasn't investigated, so it's difficult for him to make a judgment.
After a moment of silence, Jian Zhizhen suggested, "Let's go back first. The director will be introducing the basic social structure of this timeline later, so we can ask him about it then."
The three of them then went back together.
After returning to base.
Lin Yi called everyone down for a meeting and announced tomorrow's tasks.
He then gave his usual introduction to the basic conditions of this spacetime:
"The economic and technological levels in this time and space are similar to ours two hundred years ago. There are no counters here to record everyone's income in real time, but there are bank cards and labor laws."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
So far, it sounds pretty good, much better than the first two.
Even their work methods are the same, making it easier for them to work.
While distributing the identity documents, bank cards, and other identification materials prepared by the production team, Lin Yi continued to explain:
"So when you go looking for jobs tomorrow, don't look for jobs where you can only get paid at the end of the month, the show can't wait that long. You need to find jobs where you can get paid on the same day, and when you come back, the housing allocation will still be arranged according to everyone's income that day."
This somewhat limited everyone's performance.
I definitely can't look for a regular job anymore. I need to find a job that can bring me income on the same day, such as handing out flyers, doing promotions at a booth, or busking at a subway entrance.
But it doesn't matter, since everyone is competing on the same starting line.
Since there was nothing particularly special about the economic production in this time and space, Lin Yi did not elaborate further.
The main point to introduce is the values of this time and space: "It is important to note that this time and space places great emphasis on gender equality, and everyone must not have any stereotypes about men and women. Expressing hateful or demeaning views towards the opposite sex in public is a completely different matter and will result in detention, rehabilitation, or imprisonment."
Lin Yi paused for a moment, noticing that no one seemed to have a particularly strong reaction, as if they weren't particularly nervous.
That's true, because equality is also valued in the 23rd century, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
However, the emphasis on equality in this time and space is even more stringent than in the 23rd century.
He then gave everyone an example: "For instance, if a girl doesn't do as well as a boy in an exam, the teacher punishes her by making her copy the questions she got wrong. This is a normal educational method. But if the teacher says, 'You girls are not as good as boys after you go to high school,' that's considered degrading and discriminatory, and the teacher would be arrested and sent for reformatory education."
[Confident and extraordinary: Isn't this taking it way too far? Arresting someone just for saying something? Women are always this petty, no matter the timeline.]
Just as this comment appeared, Lin Yi said, "If someone belittles or discriminates against others, and those people get angry, and the criminals turn around and accuse them of making a mountain out of a molehill, that's considered incorrigible and will land them in jail in this timeline."
[Unauthorized Pervert: Hahaha, Luo Xiaoqiang's ex-boyfriend, shut up! You always get slapped in the face so accurately, aren't you ashamed?]
[Yu Zhiyi: There aren't many sexists left in the 23rd century, but they haven't been completely eliminated. After all, there are always some who slip through the net. I suggest the government gather these people together and send them to that timeline to experience it for themselves.]
[C: That's a great suggestion! Please continue to offer suggestions next time!]
All the guests and audience members already have a basic understanding of this time and space.
Jian Zhizhen thought of the person she had seen in the supermarket before and asked, "I saw a man pregnant outside before. Are the people in this timeline physically different from us?"
Luo Xiaoqiang asked in surprise, "Really? Do men also menstruate?"
Xu Qiuyuan was also incredulous: "Is it just that the person simply looks like a man? Or is it just that he has a big belly?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "Men in this timeline can indeed get pregnant. However, it's not because of different physical structures; the human physical structure is the same in every timeline. But in order to ensure absolute fairness, this timeline allows men and women to give birth together. They perform surgery on men to install bionic uteruses and birth canals. Men are born with breasts, and after drug modification, they can also breastfeed themselves."
Everyone was so shocked they were speechless.
The screen was instantly flooded with exclamation marks.
[Su Xiaoxiao: Their other technologies may not be as advanced as ours, but their medicine is so advanced! They can even do this kind of modification well and put it into use. This doctor is astonished!]
[Bingxin Liyue: I was just thinking, how can absolute fairness be achieved? Because a woman's fertility cannot be measured by price, and yet this timeline actually solved this problem...]
Luo Xiaoqiang suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this similar to the female-dominated novels I've read? In them, men have a low social status, men get pregnant and give birth, and women can have multiple husbands."
Li Ze never reads novels, and after hearing Luo Xiaoqiang's words, he couldn't understand: "Then the underlying logic of this setting is still that whoever gets pregnant has a lower social status, right?"
Zhou Sui, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "The female readers understand your logic, but they can't change it in society, so they want to vent in their literary works. There's no need to delve too deeply into it. What this timeline needs is not female supremacy, but equality, where both men and women can give birth. No one owes anyone anything."
Lin Yi nodded: "Yes, to ensure the ultimate fairness, in families, if they don't want to have children, they don't have any. If they do have children, they must have an even number. Through genetic technology, men will only give birth to male infants and women will only give birth to female infants. This ensures fairness."
[Unconventional Confidence: If men could give birth, there would be no need for women! Women should be extinct! I really don't understand why you women are always so dissatisfied. Go look through your history books; two hundred years ago, in some places you couldn't even sit at the table to eat. After graduation, many companies only hired men, and civil servants only lowered their admission scores for men! You women are qualified to work alongside men today; you should be grateful to us men!]
Luo Xiaoqiang, still obediently with the bullet comments on, glanced at this viewer's comment and was shocked: "My God, I just saw a comment where a male viewer was smugly using two hundred years of backward and outdated ideas to attack female viewers... saying something about lowering the admission scores for civil servants for men. To me, that's like a man smugly saying 'ancient men could have three wives and four concubines.' He's not ashamed, but proud? There are still such brainless people in the 23rd century! It's shocking..."
[Tangyuan Teyuan: Sister Qiang, is this the first time you've noticed his comment? We viewers have seen him many times; we deduce he's probably your ex-boyfriend!]
[To be continued: Hahaha, Sister Qiang, unaware of the situation, retaliated against her ex-boyfriend. This is truly a dream collaboration!]
[Little Deaf Girl: Hahaha, are all four male guests on this episode normal people? Did the production team invite Sister Qiang's ex-boyfriend as an unofficial male guest because they were afraid we'd get bored?]
Luo Xiaoqiang frowned... She knew her ex-boyfriend had an extreme personality, but she didn't expect it to have come to this.
