419 If you don't get married, you won't break the law!
Federation year 34.
This is the third year since the Starry Sky Zerg entered the Small Magellanic Cloud.
During this year, Aisha did not let the Zerg attack the remaining nine divine realms with all their strength.
Instead, he only had to let about less than twenty princes lead the insect groups under his command to fight repeatedly with the army of gods on the front line.
The remaining princes took over all the star domains outside the God's Domain in the shortest possible time.
now...
Nearly 70% of the entire Small Magellanic Cloud has fallen into the hands of the Zerg.
It can be said that even if Ovid can defeat the Zerg, even if he obtains the construction technology of the Faith Collection Ship.
The gods also lost faith in those areas forever.
After all, the essence of faith is a highly intelligent creature, and after being swept away by the Zerg...
From now on, let alone highly intelligent creatures, not even animals and plants will cease to exist.
If you want to restore the ecology, even wait for the birth of new life, and finally hatch out one highly intelligent civilization after another, it will probably take at least 100,000 years.
After all, it is easy to restore the ecology, but if highly intelligent life is to be born naturally, the process will be very long.
The worst thing is that after taking over half of the Small Magellanic Cloud, in addition to leaving some insect groups in each star field, they are responsible for hunting and transporting "rations" to the front line.
Most of the dispersed insect swarms have already gathered towards the God's Domain again.
And as these insect groups are gradually put into place, the pressure on the army of gods on the front line of the divine domain is increasing day by day.
Especially...
After looking at the weapons and equipment that Kanter had stored, the number became less and less.
Ovid's face was also full of sadness.
------
The development of the Small Magellanic Cloud is generally in line with the Federation's plan.
Therefore, the Federation only maintained basic surveillance and had no intention of intervening.
At this moment, President Suh is faced with another headache.
The federation's population growth rate...
It is slowing down year by year.
Especially in recent years, the annual decline in the birth rate has exceeded nearly 10%.
This is even a greater crisis for the Federation than the Starry Sky Zerg and the god Masar.
Under the orders of the Presidential Palace, several authoritative agencies analyzed this issue and finally gave a conclusion.
Although each agency's analysis will be slightly different.
However, no matter which organization they are from, they all list genetic enhancement drugs as the primary reason.
Nowadays, first-order genetic enhancement potions have been fully popularized in the Federation.
The second-level genetic enhancement potion has already been popularized by most federal citizens, and will be fully popularized in the next few years.
As for the third-level gene enhancement potion, because it has just been developed a few years ago, and the production has not increased, only the soldiers who went to the Sculptor galaxy group and a small number of people in the federal fleet have obtained it.
It will take a long time for it to be fully popularized.
But no matter what, it is a fact that most federal citizens have completed second-level genetic enhancement.
And what consequences does this have?
A substantial increase in lifespan...
This directly leads to a significant delay in the age of marriage.
Nowadays, let alone those who get married at the age of twenty, there are very few who get married at the age of fifty.
After all, just to complete all the studies, I am afraid I will be at least thirty or forty years old.
If you still want to continue to work hard, even if you are fifty years old, it will be normal.
Therefore, although federal law stipulates that one can get married at the age of twenty, in fact, any marriage before the age of fifty is now considered an early marriage.
In addition, with today's technology, contraception is too simple.
Even if you finish your errands within an hour, you will know whether you will be pregnant an hour later.
This makes the concept of unintended pregnancy almost zero.
In this way, if the population growth rate does not slow down, then there will be trouble.
If it were in the past, we would not have to be too radical and first introduce some relatively mild policies to stimulate fertility.
but...
Since the ten Pangu-class production lines of the Canglan system directly produced nearly 4,000 Pangu-class warships in the past year.
The military department has issued several reports and wants to significantly expand the federal fleet.
But...
Where does this person come from?
There may not be a big problem in the short term, but in the long term, there will definitely be problems.
Because, even if the expansion submitted by the military department is to double the federal fleet in the short term, the annual expansion thereafter will be no less than 10%.
The key is that Su He really can't dismiss this military expansion plan.
Whether it is the current enemies that the Federation needs to face, or the planned remote galaxy groups more than 40 years later, more Federation fleets will be needed.
At today's scale, that is far from enough.
Unless the federation is willing to give up, even complete exhibition hall expansion.
Otherwise, the military's expansion plan would even be a bit conservative.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Suh needs a more radical birth promotion plan.
------
In the evening, while having a routine communication with Ling Ruoxuan about home affairs, Su He also sighed slightly.
Seeing her husband's appearance, Ling Ruoxuan also asked about the situation.
What's the result...
"No, you have decided to promote a more radical birth control policy, so just go ahead and do it."
Ling Ruoxuan was a little confused. Since it was imperative, let's do it...
However...
"Ruoxuan, I have thought about several corresponding policies, but there is a serious problem..."
"What's the problem?"
"Xingchen and Yingxue!"
"Well..."
Hearing this, Ling Ruoxuan also reacted.
By the way, these two little guys are over sixty, and they are not yet married, let alone having children.
However, one of them is a hero of the Federation Fleet and the commander of one of the three major fleets, the Pioneer Fleet.
The other one is now the double dean of the Institute of Biological and Genetic Research.
If Su He launched a more radical surplus plan, wouldn't these two guys be the first to bear the brunt?
Then people will say, if your own children don’t comply, why should you force them to comply?
Good guy, this is really a troublesome thing.
As for why Jiang Xingchen and Su Yingxue have never gotten married or even been in love until now.
The key reason is not unknown to Ling Ruoxuan.
"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Although Yingxue has never said it or shown it very much, I know that he doesn't like anyone except Xingchen, and the same goes for that girl Fu Wanting."
"The most important thing is that there is also the Queen of the Elf Tribe, Berodis."
"We can't let him marry three, that's against the law!"
Obviously, Ling Ruoxuan knows these things better than Su He.
After Su He heard this, he was also stunned.
"What, Yingxue and Biluodis?"
"Yes, you don't always think that there is only Fu Wanting, right?"
"this..."
Su He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, at the same time, it also got bigger.
Originally, if there was only one Fu Wanting, it would be easy to handle. The worst case scenario would be to join forces with Jiang Zhuliu and Chu Yanxi to urge the marriage together.
But now, if one becomes three, it will be a bit troublesome.
The most important thing is that there are actually his daughter Yingxue and the former queen of the elves, Bi Luodis, inside?
It's just a shame.
"I won't talk about Fu Wanting, but there are also Yingxue and Biluodis. No matter which one you choose among these three, it doesn't seem to be good..."
"But you can't have all three, after all, it's illegal."
"Wait...it's illegal?"
"I have a solution. In this way, I can get all three."
Suddenly, Su He's eyes lit up.
Ling Ruoxuan's eyes widened.
What does it mean?
You know it's illegal, but you still want Xingchen and the other three to take it in?
Have you forgotten that you are the President of the Federation?
"Ruoxuan, listen to me."
"According to federal law, bigamy is illegal, but on the other hand, if you don't get married, it doesn't count as bigamy, right?"
"After all...according to federal law, both parties need to have a spouse before it will be considered bigamy."
Ling Ruoxuan was completely stunned.
There is indeed nothing wrong with this.
But have you forgotten that Su Yingxue is your biological daughter?
In the end, you want your biological daughter to share Jiang Xingchen with other women?
