1169 Cloning frenzy (3)

Every technology born in human society, even if it is inconspicuous when it was born, may cause extensive changes in the entire society one day.

Such changes usually have completely opposite sides. For example, the invention of the steam engine caused the first industrial revolution, but the large-scale development of industry began to destroy the environment on which humans depended for survival; the theory of relativity is still important in human physics, but it has derived nuclear weapons, super weapons that are enough to destroy the earth. However, the human country, which has been fighting endlessly, was frightened by the birth of nuclear weapons, and large-scale wars like the two world wars have never appeared again.

What cloning technology changes is the limited lifespan of human beings. Although the great goal of immortality cannot be achieved, after having thousands or even tens of thousands of years of life, there will definitely be many people who commit suicide because they live too long and too tired in the future.

No matter from any perspective, the spread of cloning technology will be a big hit in human history, and the social changes caused are no less than any technological revolution in history, and it is even more than that!

What the Republican government needs to do is to firmly control cloning technology from the beginning, let technology serve human beings, rather than letting it go, so that technology can disrupt the existing order of society.

The old ethical relationship will also undergo unpredictable changes due to the extension of life span, but the state does not intend to interfere in this aspect, nor does it know how to interfere.

Everything has its own rules. I believe that in the near future, society itself will naturally develop a relationship system suitable for a long-lived society.

It seems that except for blood relationships like children, it is difficult for couples to maintain their lives. After all, love that is always associated with eternal life, and in some cases the maintenance period is not even as good as military canned food.

Another problem that will inevitably be severely impacted is having children.

In the past, I was at least 20 or 30 years old, and at most in my early sixties, but I was at the age of continuing my incense. Originally, the average childbearing age in the Republic had been growing. Now? Even if I die of old age, it would be a new life as long as I clone it. Who would still be willing to bring a bottle of oil at a young age?

Although the Republic is the most populous country on earth, what does this population count as soon as it enters the cosmic era? If the entire society has a trend of delaying childbirth, it is not surprising that it affects the strategic expansion at the national level.

In order to solve this problem, the country has had to introduce new policies to fully encourage childbirth. It stipulates that the state bears the vast majority of the costs of newborns from birth to adulthood.

The Republic's comprehensive opening-up of birth policy was after entering the cosmic era. Although previous policies also encouraged to a certain extent economically, the scope was not large. Although many families have the desire to have children, the high cost of childbirth and raising them has to cancel the idea of ​​having more children.

If the country does not provide large-scale high-value subsidies, the population growth rate will continue to decline, which will inevitably affect the Republic's future expansion.

The problems from all aspects have caused the relevant departments to be in a state of suffocation. Compared with these suffocating troubles, the military's problems are actually very simple.

No matter which race you are fighting with, you can only fight hard with great strength.

At the end of December 2222, the improvement plan for modular warships was released.

After the improvement, the battleship module has undergone essential changes. First, the module specifications are optimized and the limited space is more effectively utilized; second, the channels in the module are cancelled. The new solution is to install blood vessel-like channel systems in the intervals between the modules after the battleship is combined to act as a traffic system within the ship.

Even if there is an excellent combination solution, it is impossible to completely eliminate the gaps between modules. Instead of trying hard to optimize the design and remove the gaps, it is better to use these spaces.

Except for the core area, other areas of the warship do not require artificial gravity. Even if the channel system is not installed, it will not affect the use of the warship. It is nothing more than that when entering various functional modules, it is not convenient to find them.

At this point, the practical solution for modular battleships was released. Each galaxy immediately started production at full capacity. In just a few days, the first batch of standardized modular battleships were assembled and officially delivered to the fleet for use.

The Solar System Army, which received priority supplements several times in a row, is still among the first batch of supplements this time. Although other fleets have a little complaint about this, the Solar System Army has this qualification, whether it is based on the results or the time of participating in the war.

Unfortunately, there were only two warships in the first batch, which were less than a fraction of the damage. It is said that Ye Fei cursed his mother behind his back because of this.

The fleet's losses have not been completed, but the military has not left the fleet idle. Just when the armistice was in war, the Strategic Mobile Corps drew a full fleet to rush to the Sail Pulsar, and included this place more than a thousand light-years away from the solar system into the sphere of influence of mankind.

The Shang family that occupied the pulsar teleportation crystal veins was wiped out in the April War, and the fleet encountered no obstacles to occupying this place.

The military found a second teleporting crystal mine source and quietly launched a plan to find more mine sources. The military will form a fleet of elite officers and soldiers and new warships to implement this plan.

The so-called execution is to fly a warship to all known neutron stars to see if there are superheavy elements deposits. The task is very simple, but the process may be very dangerous and tortuous.

In addition, the Yunzhou Star Fleet also sent a fleet of eight warships to the Xilin Star Field. The task of this fleet is to find the human planets vassal under the command of the Xilin Clan to see if there is an ancient human spacecraft there. If it is discovered, it is necessary to find a way to grab the wrong star map in the spacecraft. If it is really impossible to start, it is also possible to copy the wrong star map in it.

Although the secret of the wrong star map has been solved, it has brought out more secrets. If it weren't for the known wandering humans, there were only these two, and the military would definitely send more fleets to find other wrong star maps.

Ye Fei even received the order to fully scan the earth to see if an ancient spacecraft could be found on the earth that was buried deep in the ground.

If humans are descendants of humans in the universe, then there must be a lost spacecraft on the earth!

Unfortunately, the current technical means are still lacking, and the depth that can be achieved through comprehensive scanning is limited, so no useful clues can be found.

However, the military did not give up because of this, but instead made more efforts to find clues from various historical legends. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
