1169 Cloning Frenzy III
Every technology born in human society, no matter how inconspicuous it may be, may one day cause widespread changes in the entire society.
For example, the invention of the steam engine caused the first industrial revolution, and the large-scale development of industry began to destroy the environment on which human beings depend; The theory of relativity still plays an important role in human physics, but it has given rise to nuclear weapons, a superweapon capable of destroying the earth, and human countries that have been fighting endlessly have been thrown into the trap because of the birth of nuclear weapons, and there has never been a large-scale war like the two world wars.
Although the great goal of immortality cannot be achieved, after thousands or even tens of thousands of years of life, there will certainly be many people who will commit suicide in the future because they have lived too long and are too tired.
No matter from which point of view, the proliferation of cloning technology will write a special chapter in the history of mankind, and the social change caused by it is no less than any technological revolution in history, if not surpassed!
What the Government of the Republic should do is to firmly control the cloning technology from the very beginning, and let it work for mankind, instead of letting it go unchecked and disrupt the existing order of society.
The old ethical relations will also change unpredictably as a result of the extension of life expectancy, but the state does not intend to interfere in this regard, nor does it know how to interfere.
There is a law to everything, and I believe that in the near future, society itself will naturally develop a system of relationships suitable for a long-lived society.
It seems that there is any relationship other than the blood relationship of the children. Including husband and wife, it is difficult to maintain a lifetime, after all, the love that is always associated with eternity, and in some cases the retention period is not even as good as military cans.
Another issue that will inevitably be strongly impacted is childbearing.
In the past, they were as young as they were in their twenties and thirties, and most were in their early sixties. The average age of childbearing in the republic has been increasing, and now? Even if you die of old age, as long as you clone it is a new life, who wants to bring a drag oil bottle at a young age?
Although the Republic is the most populous country on earth, what is this population after entering the cosmic age? If there is a culture of delayed childbearing in society as a whole, it is not surprising that it will affect strategic expansion at the national level.
To solve this trouble. The state had to introduce a new policy to encourage childbirth in an all-round way. It is stipulated that the State bears the vast majority of the costs of a newborn from birth to adulthood.
The Republic's policy of fully opening up childbirth was after entering the cosmic age, and although the previous policies also carried out a certain amount of economic encouragement, the scope was not large. Although many families wish to have children, the high cost of childbearing and parenting has forced them to cancel the idea of having more children.
If the state does not carry out large-scale and high-level subsidies. The rate of population growth will continue to decline. It will inevitably affect the future expansion of the republic.
Problems from all sides have caused the relevant departments to be anxious. Compared to these suffocating troubles, the military's problem is actually quite simple.
No matter which race you are on, it's great to chase and fight hard.
End of December 2222. The improvement plan for modular warships was introduced.
After the improvement, the battleship module has undergone essential changes, first of all, the specifications of the module have been optimized, and the limited space is used more effectively; The second is to cancel the passage in the module, and the new scheme is to install a vessel-like channel system in the space between the modules after the battleship is combined, which acts as a transportation system in the ship.
Even with the best combination, it is impossible to completely eliminate the gaps between the modules, and it is better to make use of these spaces instead of painstakingly optimizing the design to remove the gaps.
With the exception of the core, no other areas of the ship require artificial gravity. Even if the channel system is not installed, it does not affect the use of the battleship, it is just that when entering the various functional modules, it is not easy to find.
At this point, the practical plan of modular warships was released, and each galaxy immediately started production at full capacity, and it only took a few days for the first batch of standardized modular warships to be assembled and officially delivered to the fleet.
The Solar System Army, which has been given priority to replenishment several times in a row, is still in the ranks of the first batch of replenishment this time, and although the other fleets have a slight complaint about this, no matter from the perspective of their combat achievements or the time they have participated in the war, the Solar System Army Group Army has this qualification.
It's a pity that there are only two warships in the first batch of replenishment, and even a fraction of the battle damage is less, and it is said that Ye Fei scolded his mother behind his back because of this matter.
The losses of the fleet have not yet been replenished, but the military has not left the fleet idle, and just after the armistice, the Strategic Mobile Corps dispatched a full fleet to rush to the Paracontellite pulsar, bringing this place more than a thousand light years away from the solar system into the sphere of human influence.
The Shang family that occupied the pulsar teleportation crystal vein had long since been wiped out in the April War, and the fleet had no obstacles to its occupation.
The military, which found a second source of crystal mines, quietly launched a plan to find more sources, and the military will form an independent fleet of elite officers and soldiers and new warships to carry out this plan.
The so-called execution, which is to fly the battleship to all known neutron stars to see if there are super-heavy element deposits, is a simple task, but the process can be dangerous and tortuous.
In addition, the Yunzhou Star Fleet also sent a fleet of eight warships to the Scales Star Domain. The mission of this fleet is to find the human planets under the command of the Scales, to see if there is an ancient human spaceship there, and if there is a discovery, find a way to grab the wrong star map in the spaceship, and if you can't do it, you can copy the wrong star map in it.
Although the secret of the wrong star map has been solved, more secrets have been revealed, if it were not for the only two known wandering human beings, the military would definitely send more fleets to find other wrong star maps.
Ye Fei even received an order to comprehensively scan the earth to see if an ancient spaceship buried deep in the earth could be found.
If humanity is the descendant of cosmic humans, then there must be a lost spaceship on Earth!
Unfortunately, the current technical means are still lacking, and the depth that can be achieved by a full scan is limited, and no useful clues can be found.
However, the military did not stop there, but launched more efforts to find clues from various historical legends. (To be continued......)
