Chapter 234 Extraterrestrial Culture (2 in 1)(1/2)
When these detailed news reports were transmitted back to the Kunlun Mountains, they triggered wider discussions than the "Green Star Man" at the time.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the public opinion level, the Kunlun Mountain Government "at the right time" and feared that the world would not be in chaos to announce two other important news: "Artificial uterine technology and longevity drugs were officially researched successfully!"
The announcement of this important news announces a chaotic and new era... coming soon!
[Good news came from the Deep Space News on the 26th. After ten years of research on artificial uterus technology, it finally ushered in a new breakthrough!]
[...The reporter observed that in this artificial environment, the embryo gradually grew from a ball of pink, shaped like an alien product, into a breathable and swallowable life body.]
【Human children were born in artificial amniotic fluid…】
[This technology has been successfully applied to the field of life, allowing 300 infertile couples to successfully conceive children.]
【…】
[Related persons commented that a radical utopian political movement based on machines is on the rise of the female *** movement. The concept of artificial pregnancy will allow women to imagine a different social reality, they do not have to have children, and therefore they do not need to play the role of mothers. They will no longer be humble, be bound in the family, and be excluded from public affairs.]
[But opponents believe that artificial uterine technology may affect traditional family concepts.
[Before giving birth, the growth of the "hormone of love" is to make the couple closer and prepare for the arrival of the newborn.]
[The lack of the normal pregnancy process of the mother will also cause the lack of secretion of the father, making both husband and wife lack care for the child.]
Artificial uterine technology alone has brought huge enough troubles, and the positive side is inconvenient and quarrel... Of course... most people still accept this technology very much, especially women have a higher acceptance.
But it's not enough!
Relying on the external pressure brought by the Blue Gold Age Alliance, the government announced another long-hidden news the next day.
[The good news came from the Deep Space News on the 27th. Based on the successful development of the longevity drug of factor D, it is expected to increase the average life expectancy of humans to 250-300 years old.]
[The first batch of drug experimenters will be middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. After taking this batch of drugs, they will have the possibility of returning to youth.]
[The New Human Laboratory is developing the next generation of life-extending methods, a special nutrient bin based on stem cell regeneration technology and biological recursion capabilities, called the 'shaping bin'. Multiple life-extending technologies cooperate with each other and are expected to increase human life-extending to 1,000 years, in line with the rapid progress of the interstellar era.]
From using fire to flying, no great invention has never been denied as an insult to a certain god. Now, human beings have defeated the god of death to a certain extent and have obtained a longer life span.
The breakthrough of the Changshou project has caused major researchers Tang Ze and other scientists to reach the forefront of public opinion.
After announcing the first batch of candidates for longevity drugs at the end of a meeting, Zhang Ran specially called Lin Qiuyue over and personally made a cup of coffee for her.
"... Actually, I personally agree with your opinion, but is our current policy promulgation a little too intensive?" Lin Qiuyue took a sip and asked, "Everyone in our office is discussing this issue. Those who are not on the turn of using drugs are very anxious, and even delaying their daily work."
It is different from the debate brought by artificial uterus, almost everyone is applauding the longevity project. Yes, who doesn’t want to live longer?
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are vaguely worried... The times have changed too quickly, and if you take too big steps, it is easy to get rid of the eggs.
"I can understand their anxiety. But this anxiety can make us think further about some of the internal problems." Zhang Ran sighed, "There is no way, the steps must be faster. Because our cooperation with the Blue Gold Age Alliance is about to begin."
"This cooperation is long-term, decades and hundreds of years of calculations. If our lifespan is too short, it will not be suitable for the interstellar era."
Lin Qiuyue took a sip of coffee and slid her fingers on the table a few times: "Equality of life expectancy will be the biggest fair factor in the future, and will become a political right... Laws and everything else must be changed. Deprivation of political power is equivalent to deprivation of life expectancy..."
"Faced with the great ups and downs of the birth rate in the future, are your government office ready? How about the social public care plan?"
"Of course! But it still takes time. You can't be too anxious about this matter. You should first hit the birth rate. Moreover, the birth system of the Blue Gold Age Alliance is suitable for reference to a certain extent. However, I don't plan to completely copy them."
"Oh, is it? It's very difficult to start a new stove."
"There is no way..." Zhang Ran sighed, "We humans can never completely incorporate them. Moreover, the culture of asceticism is not something we can bear. We can only start a new job, and we can copy a little bit, and we can find ways to change it if we can't copy it."
Speaking of this, he laughed instead. When humans reached their current level, most of the things were actually copied. He couldn't help but laugh. No matter whether it was black cats or white cats, the one that could make humans go further is a good cat!
...
Half a month passed by again, and the first phase of preliminary negotiations between the human race and the Blue Gold Age Alliance finally came to an end.
Zhang Ran walked out of the conference room with a hint of excitement on his face and some fatigue.
Tired, really tired. Whether it is the chaos in the internal society or the various negotiations with aliens, I only slept for four or five hours a day, but I was extremely excited.
He does not regret announcing two epoch-making technologies.
No matter which era these two technologies are placed, they will have too radical social impacts... but so what? If humans want to take a step further, they will always have to take this step.
Beside him were senior government officials such as Zhou Chengfeng, as well as a group of scientists represented by Lin Qiuyue, who also looked tired.
Many middle-aged scientists and government workers have shown signs of returning to youth after using longevity drugs... Of course, they are not as exaggerated as they are 20 years old. Generally, they will return from their forties or fifties to their thirties, and will remain in their last for a long time.
What Zhou Chengfeng was upset was that the society in Kunlun Mountain was undergoing fierce changes. Since the longevity plan was announced, the divorce rate was soaring, especially couples who were originally in their fifties and sixties, began to divorce on a large scale...
They had lived together for the rest of their lives, but now they found that their lives had just begun, so they simply left and started again.
"There are still a large number of people who are asking the government to popularize longevity drugs... Life expectancy fairness is being discussed most widely."
Of course, not all couples have divorced. Most people still live their usual ordinary lives, and there seems to be no big ups and downs... Love always tends to be dull and becomes a more stable family affection, and not everyone pursues excitement.
The fertility rate has not changed much for the time being, because you have to be 10 months pregnant before you can have a child. Therefore, the fertility rate indicator has a lag.
After 10 months, the fertility rate should drop to an unimaginable level.
"One ten thousandth, or one hundred thousandth level?"
It’s not because of the longevity plan, but because the couple are waiting and watching.
When we wait and see if artificial technology is mature, most girls cannot have children on their own... Everyone just wants to know whether this technology is reliable and then make a choice.
"So in ten months, our number of children will drop to just a few hundred or even dozens of them a day?"
"Yes... there are basically no children born naturally."
"Once these couples determine that artificial uteruses are reliable, population growth will soar sharply, but this surge is temporary, and what is more difficult than fertility is raising. It is expected that within one or two years, there will be no next wave after these couples with fertility desires have given birth. The future natural growth rate will be reduced to less than one ten thousand."
Zhang Ran swallowed and nodded again.
Let's not talk about these headache-informed internal matters for the time being.
This in-depth negotiation took 30 days, and a major plan of comprehensive cooperation was finally concluded, delving into all aspects such as military, scientists, and culture.
It is also the first comprehensive and in-depth strategic cooperation between humans and alien civilizations!
The first time in the first place.
It also means the arrival of a new era!
Of course, humans have actually cooperated with the Green Star civilization, but the population of the Green Star people is too small, almost a completely withered civilization. In fact, there is nothing to cooperate with, it is just that the Green Star people are attached to humans.
The Blue Gold Age Alliance and the Green Stars are essentially different. Even after experiencing a catastrophe, they still have a population of 900 million, and the other party's industrial system is complete.
At this time, it is of great significance to cooperate with the other party and you can learn a lot.
Moreover, both parties can ensure the independence of their respective development.
"Drip!" The glass door was opened.
On the other side of the gate, there were tall Kachajin and several other race leaders. Under the witness of a large number of reporters, the leaders of both sides shook hands very friendly, and then expressed their gratitude with their respective etiquette.
"The leader of human civilization, thank you for sending the army that expelled the ghost bodies and saved our Blue Gold Age Alliance."
"Thank you even more for your post-war support, and our noble morality will never be forgotten!"
"But we are in a dangerous environment, and we must prevent the ghost body from coming back and bringing disaster again. The next cooperation requires everyone to work together."
The current voice translation system has been quite complete, and artificial intelligence will automatically convert voice into voice that the other party can understand.
"That's right, we humans also thank you for your friendly tips, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses."
"Let us face the difficult future together and build a better tomorrow!"
The flashes kept flashing, and both sides believed that each other had a "high moral" civilization.
Zhang Ran smiled. He couldn't say whether humans are moral civilizations.
But this Blue Gold Age Alliance is really morally noble.
This is also one of the reasons why he chose to cooperate. Human civilization is in a critical stage of great prosperity and transformation, and "high morality" is naturally of high value.
"Click click click click!"
The warm welcome and crazy shooting of so many human journalists made these alien friends feel a little at a loss.
Even though they have the journalism industry, there is no similar flash camera. Why do cameras need flash? Why is it a bit fascinating to be flashed?
This is an unsolved mystery that cannot be answered.
Next is the reporter's questioning session.
"I noticed that in the first batch of agreements, each other gave each other's plants. Are these plants considered new food varieties? Will people get allergic to them after eating them?"
"Dear Mr. Alien, are you living in a good place recently? Do you have any special needs? Do you like eating our food?"
"When can the exchanges and interactions between the two sides be opened... When will the folk tourism start? What about cultural exchanges?"
"Sir, how many years is your race's innate life span? How do you solve the social impacts of longevity?"
"40-50 years! Our lifespan is not long." The lizard man grinned. "Now we are generally over 340 years old, and there is nothing to worry about. Looking for some reliable friends to accompany you for a longer time!"
The reporters asked a series of questions. Since the films of Sibadi civilization have received widespread praise, folks have developed a strong interest in alien culture.
A new course was also started in the university, called "Alien Culture"!
Is there any difference between culture? The answer is yes. It sounds like a suspicion of racial discrimination, but culture is closely related to civilization.
Only an excellent culture can develop advanced productivity; only an excellent culture can adapt to advanced productivity.
