Chapter 193: The Next Generation of Human Civilization
"Xingling, how long has it been?" This was the first sentence Chen Feng asked.
"Ten years, three months, twenty-five days, thirteen hours and thirty-six minutes have passed since before falling asleep." The star spirit gave an extremely accurate reply.
But Chen Feng's focus is all on the first number.
Ten years.
For him, it was over in a flash.
He slowly exhaled, and a self-examination light screen popped up in front of his eyes. In the past ten years, his body has not had any problems, because it is already a modified body, and he does not even need to adapt.
"What are the instructions?" he said again.
"Gather." Star Spirit's voice was very cold.
In fact, the personality and voice of each person's personal star spirit can be adjusted, and most people's star spirits even have their own names.
However, Chen Feng or most of the people who followed Shen Shi inherited Shen Shi’s views on AI.
AI without a true self is just a tool.
After hearing the order, he left the dormant cabin as soon as possible. He didn't even need to rest. He just put away the training equipment and rushed directly to the assembly point.
He found that not only him, but hundreds of people in the entire training base had woken up.
And they are all the best batch.
He could even clearly feel the raw energy turbulence of the others.
I immediately understood that it was time to activate them.
I felt a little excited in my heart. I had been training hard and sleeplessly for ten years, even staying away from my family and this drastically changing society, just to be able to meet the standards, to be able to step into the interstellar world again, and to be truly qualified to serve mankind.
When everyone gathered together, the next task popped up in front of Chen Feng.
"Get used to society."
In other words, he wants to go home first.
Thinking of his family, he couldn't help but exhale.
Chen Feng is the second of four brothers in his family. He comes from a rural area. He joined the army right after high school. Because of his outstanding performance, serious study, and excellent talent, he gradually became a special soldier in less than ten years, and
Or a sniper as a vanguard.
After careful calculation, including the past ten years, he has not been home for almost fifteen or sixteen years.
"Old Chen, you and I are fellow villagers, let's go together." After the group dispersed, a person next to them walked up.
"Okay." Chen Feng recognized him. His name was Sun Yan. It was a very common name. He said he was a fellow villager, but in fact he was in the same urban area, not even the same county.
And unlike him who had outstanding performance in the army from the beginning, Sun Yan only joined the army after the Starry Sky Era and rose through the ranks because of his outstanding talent in raw energy.
The military ranks of the two are quite different.
However, when returning home, there is no need to strictly abide by the hierarchy. There is nothing strange about the old Chen.
"It's been ten years." Sun Yan actually felt a little timid about living in the countryside. "I haven't had any news in ten years. I don't know what's going on with my family. My sister might have gotten married."
Sun Yan has only one younger sister in his family.
When he joined the army, his parents were actually opposed to it, but at that time, mankind was facing the threat of the Vor fleet, and he was also enthusiastic.
"Let's go." Chen Feng said very few words and acted more decisively. The two of them took the small shuttle directly and headed towards Blue Star.
Just when you get closer, you can deeply feel the difference in Blue Star today.
Not to mention the azure protective shield, the most striking thing is not the more than 200 space cities, but the spaceships traveling to and from various ports.
"Xingling, please briefly introduce the current situation of human civilization." Chen Feng said.
"Yes, human civilization currently has a total population of 10.3 billion, of which only 5.6 billion live permanently on the Blue Star. The remaining 3.6 billion are scattered in the four major space regions of the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn...
....”
With the introduction of the Star Spirits and the scene in front of him, Chen Feng could clearly feel the strength and shortcomings of today's human civilization.
The strength naturally lies in the major space bases and space factories.
The various types of spaceships in front of us can even be called dense. They are not spaceships for transporting people, but for transporting cargo.
Most of them are core industries on Blue Star and core products in space factories.
And the shortcomings are also extremely obvious.
——Underpopulation.
Although an increase of nearly 50% in ten years sounds good, this population is simply not enough to absorb the various advanced devices brought by the Commander-in-Chief.
Among them, Chen Feng, who had roughly understood the commander-in-chief's thoughts long before the seclusion training, had almost guessed the main reason why he and others were asked to come out of seclusion.
Sure enough, you need to be truly ready to step into the stars.
Chen Feng felt a little hot in his heart.
For people like him, nothing is more important than seeing his country and his civilization becoming stronger and stronger.
"The changes are really big." Sun Yan looked at the space city passing by and did not hide his amazement. "There have been such big changes in just ten years. If it comes another hundred years, I don't know what will happen."
how is it."
"This is nothing at all." Chen Feng spoke up in a rare moment, "Haven't you ever seen the Daiker base? That is a base that can jump and warp navigation. The Daiker civilization has been deployed at every node.
"
"That's right...if we didn't have the commander-in-chief, we might not even be able to compare with the Wo people now." Sun Yan nodded, but then shook his head, "But this change is still big."
"Well, we're almost there." Chen Feng said.
"So fast." Sun Yan was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you check the destination? Our original hometown has now become an original ecological reserve, and there are not many people living there anymore." Chen Feng said, "There are only people in the urban area now, but I took a look and our
The family members all accepted placement as military dependents and moved to the space city."
"It's true." Sun Yan sighed, "After all, the population is too small. Houses are given out for free based on contribution. Our contribution can benefit our families. In this way, we are not only fellow villagers, but now we have become
The neighbors.”
Because their contributions were similar, their families happened to be placed in the same community.
"We have entered the high-speed area." Chen Feng said again, then let go of his hand and handed it over to the Star Spirit for unified control.
The so-called high-speed area refers to a flight area where the minimum speed is below Mach 50. It only takes a few minutes to get to any place.
So in just one minute, their shuttle automatically slowed down, and in a few more minutes, they arrived directly at the destination.
——A huge building suspended above the space city.
It's indeed huge.
The entire building is a regular polyhedron, and if it weren't for the many passages on the surface for people to move quickly, it would be no different from a spaceship.
"Old Chen, come out and get together tonight." Sun Yan could not wait to walk out.
"Okay." Chen Feng was very calm.
He did not let go of his emotions like Sun Yan, but controlled them firmly. Rather, this is his character.
Then I walked slowly here.
Looking around.
There is another reason why the entire building does not look like a spaceship, and that is that there are too many decorations on the surface.
From wood carving patterns, to sparkling crystals, to soft and comfortable carpets, and clean and tidy walls...
Even far more luxurious than the most luxurious auditorium before the Starry Sky Era.
Not to mention the beautiful space scenery facing the stars and the sun.
Chen Feng also saw many shops and many entertainment places.
But the most common ones are children.
That's right, when walking around the inner streets of the community, there are the largest number of children. All of them are neatly dressed, cute, and have bright smiles. They don't look naughty, but they feel like little adults.
Chen Feng stopped because there was a fruit shop in front of him.
I haven’t been home for more than ten years, so I always have to bring something with me.
However, after entering the store, he suddenly felt worried.
What kind of fruits are these?
I can't recognize it.
Looking around, no one looked familiar.
"Hello, uncle, do you want to buy some new fruits?" A soft voice came. Chen Feng lowered his head and found a little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old.
Her appearance is extremely exquisite, her eyes are big, and she is raising her head at the moment, pretending to be an adult, but her words and deeds reveal her indescribable cuteness.
"That's right." Chen Feng nodded, and then asked, "Is this your store?"
"No." The child gave Chen Feng a strange look, "According to the small trade rules of the space city introduced in 2004, all small shops in the space city are owned by the civilization, and individuals only have management rights. I am the owner of this company.
The second-level manager of the store is the store owner."
"..." Chen Feng has realized that he is indeed somewhat out of touch with society.
This feeling doesn't feel like going home, but like traveling through time.
"Uncle, are you a sleeper?" The child seemed to be slightly excited.
"What is the Sleeper?" Chen Feng no longer regarded her as the child before, and he didn't feel embarrassed when he asked humbly.
"Sleepers refer to those who use C5-level Xinghai original energy training equipment to perform sleep training for more than a year. They are all very powerful people, but such people may be out of touch with the rapidly developing society after waking up.
, but uncle, you don’t even know the rules introduced in 2004. Could it be that you have been sleeping since the end of the Wo-Man War until now.”
"..." Chen Feng never expected that his identity information would be exposed all of a sudden. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the little guy in front of him, squatted down and said with a smile, "How old are you this year?"
"Yin Yin is eight years old." The girl who called herself Yin Yin looked excited. "It is exactly what the information database said. The earliest batch of sleepers like to ask about the age of children."
"..." Chen Feng didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Uncle, do you still want to ask me why I started working at such a young age?" Yinyin patted her little chest in a decent manner, "Children like me who were born after the Starry Sky Era are now very powerful.
, most of us have finished learning before the age of six, what it took you, uncle, twelve years of schooling to learn. After the age of six, you are eligible to do academic work to improve your contribution, but Yin Yin is very good in her own right.
You can become a second-level administrator of a first-level store at the age of eight."
"..." Chen Feng was already a little numb.
Child labor? No, this shouldn't count, if the child has really learned all the knowledge.
And judging from her performance, she is already impressive.
Are all children today so precocious?
"Where do you plan to buy fruits, uncle?" Seeing that Chen Feng was silent, Yinyin asked directly.
"Go home." Chen Feng came back to his senses and said with a smile.
He still has great confidence in human civilization and the commander-in-chief. Although the child in front of him is really unexpected, he is indeed lovable. Looking at such an outstanding next generation, for soldiers like him
Speaking of which, there is also a sense of relief.
"If you go home, you can just take some with you." Yinyin suddenly realized, showing a sweet smile, "It is light on etiquette but heavy on affection. As long as uncle goes back, it will be the best gift to the family."
Chen Feng paused, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "You're right."
When he left with a large bag of fruits that he had never seen before, he happened to see the little girl changing shifts with another boy who looked slightly older, and then left the store happily, the jumping boy
He looks cute, and finally looks a bit like a child from the Earth and Star era.
At this time, Chen Feng had also received an explanation from the Star Spirit.
Because of the use of various optimization technologies, the IQ and learning ability of children today are on average more than three or four times that of the Earth and Star Era.
In other words, every one of them would have been a prodigy who could shock the world in the past.
Such high IQ has also made the education reform of the next generation a top priority. The so-called "learning work" is the education reform law proposed and quickly passed by the commander-in-chief, with the purpose of allowing children to be full of talents.
Fully develop your potential in inclusive "tasks" and grow healthily.
For them.
This kind of work is probably an interesting "game" and "play".
Chen Feng even felt a certain amount of original energy fluctuations in the older boy.
The original ability training of these children starts from the age of six.
"The next generation will always be the future of civilization."
Chen Feng murmured to himself, continuing to walk along the navigation system toward his parents' home with a certain sense of satisfaction.
According to Star Spirit's explanation, his parents, who were originally just ordinary farmers and worked in the fields for half their lives, are now production employees of the "Antimatter Energy Factory".
Although "antimatter" sounds extremely high-end, in Chen Feng's mind, his parents probably just do some simple jobs.
However, when he actually saw it, with his current abilities, he couldn't help but stay on the spot.
