The population problem is a long-term problem that cannot be solved in a few days or months. It will take decades or hundreds of years of struggle to slowly see the effects.
There are many factors that affect the fertility rate, including environment, pressure, economic conditions, etc., which need to be improved little by little. Yu Yifeng hopes to increase the fertility rate to above 5% in the future.
5% is not that small, that is 2,500 babies a year.
The two talked briefly for a while and decided to start with the blind date. The blind date is simple to organize and many people are willing to participate. Through the blind date, these single men and women have the conditions to contact each other, get close to each other, and get to know each other.
, thereby getting rid of being single.
Since the explosion of the earth, many people have been lonely, lonely, and full of insecurity. They are eager to find each other's significant other. Blind dates are relatively reliable. They have been held several times and the results are not bad.
Of course there are other ways. For example, try to make the work environment as balanced as possible between men and women, create multiple date locations, etc.
Alas, it is not easy to be a captain, it is very stressful, and you have to consider people's single issues... After leaving Xu Yunjin's office, Yu Yifeng was still thinking about it in his head.
Next, the entire spacecraft must be reformed in many aspects including environment, construction, economy, politics, technology, etc., one link after another, and it needs to be carried out in multiple aspects at the same time.
Since waking up from a coma, he feels that his brain is smarter and more courageous. He has long made up his mind that this reform must be carried out. If it succeeds, people will make great progress in the fundamental system.
Take a big step!
Whoever dares to block it will be defeated. That is the enemy of the entire civilization!
However, it is definitely not possible to rely on his wisdom alone. It is necessary to gather the wisdom of more people and gain the support of more people.
Now he is going to the home of the famous sociologist Professor Sean.
There were very few sociologists and economists in the Noah spacecraft, because most of these people stayed on the earth at that time. Professor Sean from Germany was lucky to escape because he was inspecting the moon base at the time.
.
The reason why Yu Yifeng visited him is not only that, but also because Professor Xiaon is a true communist fighter!
After graduating with his doctorate, Professor En resolutely left academia and worked as a construction worker for 17 years. He can speak two "languages", one is the high-level "Professor's English", and the other is the simple and vulgar "Worker's English"
”.
In Xu Yunjin’s words, although he believed in communism, he could not do what Professor Sean did, giving up his superior office life and working at a construction site for seventeen years just to get in touch with the people at the bottom and understand Marx more deeply.
doctrine.
China itself is a socialist country and is in the transitional stage of communist society. Ironically, discussing communist beliefs in the country is extremely hateful.
Perhaps influenced by the wave of capitalism, when some people hear that you believe in communism, they immediately get very excited and start using a magnifying glass to find your flaws, pour dirty water on your history, and speculate on your life with all kinds of dark psychology.
As if knocking you down proves their greatness.
There are often words such as "five cents", "rabbit", and "tg" on the Internet. They are people's way of venting their dissatisfaction with reality. People do not understand true communism.
Yes, what Yu Yifeng chose was communism!
It is not because his motherland is a socialist country, nor is he influenced by politics like Xu Yunjin. He has carefully considered and compared "capitalism", "nationalism", "socialism" and so on. He indeed believes that "communism"
"doctrine" is the strongest, most combat-effective, and most suitable system for interstellar navigation.
According to Yu Yifeng's vision, if you want to become a true interstellar civilization, you must first achieve great material affluence, and the development of science and technology cannot be shackled by the economy.
Think about it, if a human government wants to build a spaceship that is extremely difficult, at least 100,000 times more difficult than an aircraft carrier, but is still worried about money, then how can it possibly be built?
Only a government that is extremely materially wealthy and has very high organizational capabilities can build this spacecraft.
Then, the best way to achieve it is communism...
Yu Yifeng knocked on the door of Professor Sean's room, which was just an ordinary iron room.
"Please come in!" came a middle-aged male voice from inside.
Yu Yifeng walked in and sat down. The room was very simple, with only a bed, a few pieces of iron furniture, and a few books. It was very simple. He observed it briefly and said: "Hello, Professor Sean!
"
"Hello, Mr. Yu Yifeng."
This must be a gentleman. Professor Sean is about fifty years old, his cheeks are covered with wrinkles of varying depths, and his eyes are bright but full of vicissitudes of life. This must be a man with strong faith and willpower.
"Professor Sean, I have a question to ask, what is the fundamental driving force of civilization progress?" Yu Yifeng was not vague and asked directly.
Sean thought for a while, and he was also very interested in this young leader. This young man is courageous, courageous, and wise. So far, he has done the best. But after all, he doesn’t know what he will do.
Where will it take human civilization?
As soon as Yu Yifeng's question came out, Sean basically understood what he was going to ask.
"To be precise, it is the basic contradiction of society." Professor Sean said, "This is the standard answer in the textbook."
"Of course there are other answers, such as technological progress, changes in fundamental systems, improvements in human quality, etc."
"But there is another way of saying that it is desire, and desire promotes the progress of civilization.
This may be better understood. Desire is a biological instinct, something rooted in the deepest parts of genes.
As the spirit of all things, human beings have endless desires, thirst for knowledge, desire to explore, wanting to live in better houses, wear better clothes, enjoy delicious food, etc.
These desires continue to promote the development of productive forces, the integration of nations, and the advancement of science and technology.
Human beings have gone from conquering land to conquering oceans and conquering the sky, and even want to conquer outer space and conquer the universe. Therefore, it is understandable that desire is the driving force for human development."
"So far, this is true. But I don't think desire alone can lead mankind to communism."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Yu Yifeng said seriously.
Professor Sean was silent for a moment and explained: "There is a country on earth called Brazil."
"It has the fifth largest territory in the world and a population of more than 200 million. It has survived two world wars and has a unique geographical location. However, it is still a developing country and may even suffer economic regression. Why?"
"If you have been to Brazil, you know God's preference for Brazil. There is a saying in Brazil that God created the world in six days and Rio on the seventh day. This sentence illustrates how rich Brazil's natural resources are.
Brazil has 18% of the world's fresh water, produces 1/3 of the world's oxygen, a large number of mineral resources, and countless tropical fruits that can't be eaten. The rich resources allow Brazilians to eat without much labor.
Live a prosperous life.”
"It is such a country that is blessed with natural resources. It was an economic powerhouse in the sub-developed world more than 20 years ago. It is still like this now, with little progress and even the possibility of economic regression."
"China has a similar territory to Brazil and far inferior natural resources, but its GDP is five times that of Brazil. Do you know why?"
Yu Yifeng vaguely had the answer in his heart, but he still listened to Professor Xiaon continue to speak.
"The reason is that Brazilians have no pressure to survive and are too lazy... No matter how poor they are, they will not starve to death, which has developed their lazy character. When the market prices increase, they will become rich, and the market
If it falls, they will be poor and will not even bother to pick fruits.
Of course, the government's poor organizational skills, poor action, and corruption are also part of the reasons."
"Human desires are endless, and no matter how affluent the environment, it can only satisfy part of people's desires. Laziness, greed, and selfishness will breed in such an environment.
Brazil is a living example. People there have no pressure to survive, but cannot get rich because they are too lazy. At this time, desire can no longer push civilization forward."
Yu Yifeng nodded thoughtfully, "So, a wealthy environment is more likely to cause civilization to stop developing?"
"The wealth a person can control is directly proportional to his quality." Professor Sean pondered as he said, "The wealth of a civilization is directly proportional to the quality of all people."
"If the quality of civilization is not high enough and extreme wealth does not push people towards communism, it will more easily lead to stagnation of civilization. Why, because laziness is an instinct rooted in human genes, and it is not easy to defeat laziness."
"If a person eats whatever he wants and plays whatever he wants, then why does he have to work? What is the purpose of his work? Why doesn't he eat, drink, have fun and enjoy life?
So, he became lazy. If the entire civilization thinks this way, then the entire civilization will also become lazy."
"As a result, civilization will lose the momentum of progress."
Yu Yifeng's heart suddenly moved. It is indeed true. If everyone is very rich, why do they still need to work? This is a very real problem and the most difficult problem of communism.
"Professor Sean, is there any solution?"
"If you want to transcend this stage and reach a higher level, people's ideology must keep up. Everyone must have ideals and goals, and pursue a career throughout their lives without any regrets."
"This is very difficult." Professor Sean said seriously.
(This chapter seems a bit secondary, but it stuck with me for a long time, and it took me a long time to write it. It is still not satisfactory. What I want to say is that after an interstellar civilization enters the starry sky, with the help of science
With the advancement of technology and the sufficiency of energy, extreme wealth should be very normal. If a civilization is still worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation, why should it go into the stars?
The second point is that after becoming extremely wealthy, people’s ideological problems must be solved. Civilization must be advanced in its fundamental system. There cannot be problems such as internal divisions. A civilization with imperfect systems will inevitably be unable to enter the starry sky.
I will explain this in detail in Volume 3, but let’s start now. This is the chapter today, a chapter of more than 3,000 words. Because writing this chapter takes up too much time, I won’t update it tonight. I’m sorry.
In the future, I may include some private information. My thoughts on civilization, systems, wisdom, etc. may not be correct. You can judge.)
