"For ancient civilizations, the cost of education was still a little higher, and it was difficult for most people to afford the cost of education for their children."

"But if you don't educate, you will be poor and farm at home all your life. As a result, the cost of education will increase, and the fertility rate of ancient people will naturally drop."

When Lu Yiming heard the discussion between the two experts sitting behind, he sighed slightly in his heart, is the fertility rate of ancient civilizations also declining...

Including the 50,000 soldiers in the Cloud Sea Capital, the total number of soldiers in the entire Cloud Sea Alliance is as many as 70,000, which is indeed enough.

As for the third-level civilization, there is naturally nothing, and there is still a very chaotic internal civilization. Under the influence of international rules, this type of civilization will sooner or later be absorbed by other countries and will then be naturally eliminated.

It sounds cruel, but in fact it can only be done this. Not any small country can become a civilization. The so-called cultural diversity is not worth mentioning in the face of the vastness of the multiverse. There are so many civilizations in the world, where can we save it?

Weak countries and poor countries will eventually be eliminated.

Premier Liang of the Interior Department paused and said: "...In addition to population growth, we have also made long-term progress and development at the industrial level and infrastructure level. The first is to establish electric vehicles and semiconductor industry chains... These high-end industrial chains have attracted a large number of working people and solved the problem of not being able to get employment."

In fact, these two industrial chains are completely redundant compared to the strong productivity of universal factories.

Universal factories can fully produce better semiconductor products and better electric vehicles.

But you should know that in a healthy society, most people need to have a job so that the entire society can operate healthily.

Once most people have no jobs, the laziness atmosphere will spread greatly, social order will inevitably become chaotic, the crime rate will be greatly increased, and the scientific research environment and learning atmosphere will also be damaged.

This has nothing to do with social welfare and economic development, and is determined by human nature.

Therefore, semiconductors and electric vehicles have become the best industrial chain so far, and producing these materials will not use the production capacity of universal factories.

On the one hand, the added value of these two industries is high enough and the value of the products is strong enough, which can arouse people's desire to consume.

The sales of electric vehicles and various consumer electronics are very good, and they can be exported abroad.

On the other hand, the surrounding ancient civilizations cannot engage in these industries, so the average salary of this industry is also relatively high. In some labor-intensive and low added value industries, ancient civilizations can also do it, and employees' remuneration cannot be increased.

There is also a third advantage: the industrial chains of these two industries are long enough and there are enough job opportunities to accommodate.

The electric vehicle and semiconductor industries have absorbed at least 400,000 working people from design, production, and sales!

That is, about half of the labor force.

As for the remaining labor force, it is engaged in education, medical care, scientific research, the Internet, and various service industries. A large part of it is students and does not need to participate in the work.

However, after introducing this, Premier Liang said worriedly: "However, everyone should deeply realize that these two industrial chains are just stopgap measures. If placed in the interstellar era, the so-called high-end industry is not high-end and cannot be used at all, with 400,000 people."

"In the real interstellar era, as long as a part of the designer can complete these tasks, the remaining production is completed by fully automatic factories, and sales are also carried out on the Internet."

“In fact, in the face of stronger productivity, these employment is unnecessary and artificially created.”

"But we really can't find a better way to resettle these people. It is impossible for a total of 500,000 idle people not to let them work, and it is impossible to let them engage in relatively low-level industries... that is impossible."

"So, the social change that has become an interstellar civilization is beyond imagination. We are completely confused and cannot find a better way of social operation. In the face of 10 times or 100 times of productivity, if we cannot find a very good path, we can still seem to wander in front of the intersection."

Lu Yiming nodded, able to understand this worry.

To put it bluntly, even if you are engaged in electric vehicles and semiconductor production, the high-end industries on the earth will be just ordinary in the interstellar era. The population engaged in these industries will be eliminated in the interstellar era.

What does interstellar civilization need? The population engaged in intellectual labor!

Even more than 90% of people are intellectual workers, and that is the best state.

But it is obvious that this cannot be achieved. Human intelligence is normally distributed, and most people are destined to be mediocre.

The government cannot eliminate work and abandon these people.

Therefore, the current solution can only artificially build a high-end industrial chain, arrange a pretty good job for ordinary people, and have a seemingly acceptable salary... It sounds cruel, but in fact it is.

As the population base grows, the number of geniuses increases, and the mediocre population will also increase. At that time, we can only continue to open up new unnecessary industries and stuff people into it.

This method is not ideal.

Some discussions emerged in the conference room.

"Society is ultimately driven by geniuses, and geniuses are born from ordinary people. As a result, the value of ordinary people is not very high, which is indeed a difficult problem."

"No matter what, the development of productivity is necessary. The current situation of artificial suppression of productivity is indeed not a long-term solution."

"So, how to solve it? There seems to be no solution. Unless we can achieve the universal superhuman...ah, it's not realistic."

Can't find a good direction.

Premier Liang, who was standing in the front, paused and said, "Comrades, in addition to the problems I just mentioned, there is another big hidden danger next: we have found that the continuous increase in population life expectancy will also bring about huge social changes."

“We can’t find a very good direction.”

"After using two generations of fortification drugs, the theoretical life span of humans can be increased to 150 years old. Some experts believe that taking some special foods for a long time can be increased to 200 years old."

"In the future, after the micromutation discipline achieves further development, it is not a problem to live for three to five hundred years."

"As human life span grows longer, our society will naturally change, and it is impossible to be as big as before. The significant changes in the short term are unbearable to our society."

Next, Premier Liang presented a social report, which described in detail the changes in current social thoughts.

Human thoughts are very related to changes in the environment. Take the distance between the earth's civilization, such as the famous Heshang generation. The cultural impact brought by reform and opening up has caused them to have an extreme sense of national inferiority. Among this generation, the proportion of hatred to the National Party is the highest.

In their opinion, everything abroad is good and the moon is particularly round. It will be difficult to get up after kneeling down in spirit.

For example, a generation of struggles, through struggle, they believe that everything is obtained through hard work, and that as long as they work hard, they can have everything. So they become a struggle force, and at the same time encourage people to struggle, because they really think so. In fact, they just took advantage of the east wind of the times.

For example, if a generation of people lie down, the high housing prices will lead to a generation being unable to afford a house for their entire life, so they simply lie down.

But a generation of people who have experienced a booming stage, the proportion of hating the National Party is actually not high, because they know that foreign countries are actually very bad, and where is there any real paradise in the world?

And the same is true for this generation of people in the Sea of ​​Clouds.

The new generation of young people witnessed the increasing prosperity of the Cloud Sea Capital, and their mental outlook was naturally positive, with a high pioneering spirit, and had a lot of struggles.

In addition, the war between the army and monsters has formed a certain degree of external oppression, and the national cohesion is also quite good.

These are all things that make people happy.

"However, there are also some complex social phenomena. It is difficult for us to judge whether these social phenomena are normal or abnormal, and we cannot start to rectify them."

The first is that the age of "first sexual behavior" among young people is constantly decreasing. In fact, this is one of the phenomena of the continuous development of the economy in modern society. Even though the society in the capital of the sea of ​​clouds is generally more conservative, young people are playing more and more, and liberal thoughts are spreading quietly.

As long as this kind of thing is not smelting copper or selling the body, it has nothing to do with the law and cannot be prohibited, but it has a lot to do with morality.

Collectivism is important, but the so-called honest officials cannot make up for family affairs, and the Yunhai government cannot control these things.

Whether a relationship between a man and a woman will bring hidden dangers to social development is still unknown.

"The second is that the marriage rate among young people is constantly decreasing. The birth rate that can be maintained at present is all contributed by couples who have been married in the past. Nowadays, young people basically have no intention of getting married."

The main reason is not economic pressure. Now the biggest economic pressure is that houses are allocated. Large houses require property tax, while small houses do not require property tax. In fact, everyone can get through it.

Things like cars are just icing on the cake. You can always afford it if you find a serious job and work hard for a few years. So the economic pressure is not too great.

The reason why young people don’t get married is mainly because of their life span.

The sharp increase in life expectancy has brought about huge changes in thought. Everyone wants to play for a few more years before talking about it. Isn’t the average life expectancy more than 150 years? It may be three hundred years in the future? Who would like to get married in his twenties or thirties?

In his twenties or thirties, are he still a child?

What's the point of having a child so early, it takes time and effort to cultivate it. I have been concerned about my child all my life?

The evolution of this social trend is a headache for the Yunhai government. It has no way to control it and it cannot be controlled at all.

It is a natural phenomenon that occurs spontaneously.

With the increase in lifespan, who is willing to be a couple for a lifetime? Isn’t it good to play for a few more years? Most young people think this way. The most difficult thing in the world is human thoughts.

However, as a creature like humans, if a person has a chaotic relationship with a man and a woman, will he still be at peace with himself when he is old?

Of course, it won’t be possible. Once this value is formed, it will be difficult to change.

Just like having cheated on you for the first time and countless times, the more boyfriends you look for, the more you pursue freshness.
