Chapter 287 Independent World
Chapter 287 Independent World
Before the end of the world.
Traditional families have always been the main force in childbearing.
But in fact, due to various reasons, the number of induced abortions has always been several times the number of newborns.
Su Wu now needs a large population.
Then we must face up to this problem.
"For most people, having children is driven by both emotional needs and profit."
"Pure emotions can hardly support a huge new population."
“There has to be enough benefit given.”
"Just like in ancient times, children are assets to any family. Every additional child brings an absolute positive benefit."
"But at the same time, it's not enough to just give benefits. Not everyone is cut out to be a parent."
Su Wu browsed through social survey reports from before the end of the world.
Lost in deep thought.
After a long time.
The final decision was to implement a plan that combines public support and family subsidies.
Priority should be given to encouraging normal marriage and childbirth.
And provide these families with special child growth subsidies on a regular basis.
Then abortion and all contraceptive measures were banned.
Children born due to accidents but whose parents are unwilling to raise them will be taken in by shelters.
Public upbringing is carried out uniformly.
"Essentially, the shelter is responsible for bearing most of the cost of raising the baby. Then, when the newborn grows up, the money will be returned to the shelter."
"The investment of these resources is not low, but it is not high either."
“It’s nothing more than providing food, education, medical care, etc.”
“It doesn’t consume too many basic supplies.”
Su Wu, who holds the highest authority over the entire farmyard shelter.
Have absolute control over the shelter's resources.
You can also feel it more clearly.
These investments may seem scary, but in fact, they will not even bring much negative impact on the construction of the entire shelter and the expansion of armed forces.
The general direction has been determined.
The remaining specific details are much easier to handle.
The first step is to introduce a moral evaluation system.
Conduct large-scale psychological assessments and testing of all eligible men and women in the shelter.
Only those who pass the test are qualified to become parents.
If it fails, there will be no clear prompt.
However, artificial intelligence will fine-tune their work and living environment, making it basically impossible for them to fall in love and get married.
Of course, the standard for passing the test is not set very high.
They are basically a level lower than ordinary families before the apocalypse. Generally, as long as there is no high probability of cruelly abusing children, they can pass the test.
And after passing the test.
It will enter the next round of data matching stage.
Create conditions for contact between men and women who are suitable for each other in terms of personality, living habits, etc.
And regularly change the people you contact until they are no longer single.
“Although there is suspicion of human intervention.”
"But in reality, AI is just screening the right people for them among tens of millions of eligible people."
“And create the conditions for them to engage.”
"The final choice is up to them."
"If a person has good character and can make his or her own choices, the family he or she forms will most likely be happier."
When Su Wu formulated this rule.
I also added a small backdoor for myself.
Before the second round of data matching, all young women will first be matched with Su Wu himself.
All women whose appearance and personality meet, or even just part of, Su Wu's preferences.
They will all be automatically sorted out by artificial intelligence and submitted to Su Wu for his personal reading.
If he is interested, he will recruit her to the core area to serve as a maid.
This nature is actually similar to the selection of concubines in ancient times.
It’s just that the screening scope is larger and more accurate.
Su Wu was neither a saint nor a gentleman.
He's just an ordinary man who was a little lucky and got a doomsday survival system.
I also have my own desires.
Given the chance, he didn't mind collecting all the beautiful girls he liked.
Even if you can't take care of it at the moment, you can just keep it by your side and enjoy it as a scenery.
Of course, because of the presence of Sister Chenxin.
This led to Su Wu having very high standards.
It is very likely that even if one screens the tens of millions of people in the current shelters, one may not be able to find someone who would interest Su Wu.
But there is this screening mechanism.
In the long time to come, there will be new gains.
“And then, for the children who might be discarded in the future.”
“Uniform public care is needed.”
There is modern society before the end of the world as a reference.
Su Wu knew.
This number is bound to be extremely shocking after he issued strict orders banning abortion and the trade of contraceptive tools.
It is likely to be several times more than the fertility rate of a normal family.
Therefore, they are given the greatest attention.
“Public care is best broken down into a one-to-one model.”
"Provide each baby with two robots that are all his own."
"To try to fit in with the parents' positioning and accompany him as he grows up."
In this regard, the difficulty of implementation is not too great.
Artificial intelligence is capable of simulating the speech and behavior of a qualified parent.
Then combine it with the appearance of a bionic man.
It is even more likely to raise outstanding children than natural families.
“The construction of schools that cater to newborns should also be taken seriously.”
“The current primary school system can be restored to the nine-year compulsory education before the end of the world.”
"Then there is the construction of a corresponding number of special schools, vocational schools, and advanced universities."
Special schools are places where students with problems are given more stringent and centralized management.
Prevent vicious incidents such as bullying from spreading in ordinary schools.
Vocational schools are the mainstream of the future.
With the IQ and talent of most people, there is actually no need to waste resources on higher education.
Providing more single and professional vocational education can save resources while giving them a more relaxed student life.
“Well, although it’s essentially a vocational school.”
"But this name seemed to have a bad reputation before the end of the world, and it's not easy for people to accept it."
"Why not just unify the names of junior high school and high school?"
"Vocational education and training can be implemented in the form of clubs and hobbies."
“Then go on to college.”
"You just need to pass an in-depth psychological test and your overall performance to be assigned directly."
"There is no need to have a special exam."
For admissions to advanced universities.
In addition to IQ and talent, morality is also very important.
The more knowledge a morally unqualified person possesses, the more damage he will cause.
There is no possibility that you can change from a bad person to a good person by learning more.
As expected by Su Wu.
In the end, only less than one in a thousand people will have the opportunity to receive advanced education.
They will be the elite class in the future shelter.
There is a greater chance of getting a better living standard than ordinary people. Immerse yourself in the new construction of the shelter's social system.
Even lunch was delivered to the control center by Chenxin, and they just ate a few bites to get by.
It was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Su Wu finally completed the preliminary plan.
But at this point, the entire system is still very rough.
There are many more problems.
However, Su Wu was powerless to do anything about it.
We can only wait until a relevant research group is established in the future, conduct follow-up analysis, and gradually make improvements.
Stand up.
I poured myself a glass of freshly squeezed grape juice and drank it in one gulp.
The sweet and sour taste of the juice refreshed Su Wu's slightly tired spirit.
Take a few steps and arrive at the metal platform.
Su Wu re-projected the structural diagram of the entire farmyard shelter.
He has just drawn up a series of measures to stimulate population growth.
But without a sufficiently good environment, even the best measures are unlikely to be effective.
“Currently, nearly half of the 8th underground floor has been built.”
“We can move the material warehouses on the 7th underground floor and the super factory there.”
“Freed up space.”
"It is used to create two-bedroom suites for families and one-bedroom studio apartments."
"Also, you can go to the 8th floor underground,"
“Try to build an amusement park, and a park on a larger scale.”
With the current scale of the farmyard engineering team.
After such a long time, only half of the 8 underground floors have been completed.
It’s not that the engineering team’s efficiency has slowed down.
This is because the specifications of the 8th underground floor are higher than those of the first 7 floors.
Considering that the ball lightning control chamber is 36 meters high, it occupies the core area below the 7th underground floor.
Su Wu was building the 8th underground floor.
For the convenience of statistics and management.
Why not just set its floor height to be level with the ball lightning control cabin?
This has directly led to the fact that the 8th underground floor, which has only been half built, has an actual space size that is even half larger than the complete 7th underground floor.
Such a vast space.
It can not only accommodate a previously designed super reservoir of 800 million cubic meters, a warehouse that can store hundreds of millions of tons of materials, and the super factory that originally occupied nearly a quarter of the 7-story underground area.
There is also huge room for creating a resort space.
"The floor height of 36 meters is equivalent to the height of an ordinary residential building with more than 10 floors."
"If it is used to build an amusement park, as long as the design is a little restrained, most of the other amusement facilities except the Ferris wheel can be squeezed in."
“The same is true for large parks.”
“Many special landscapes require sufficient height to be built.”
"It's just right to place it on the 8th underground floor."
Build playgrounds and large parks.
The purpose is nothing else.
It is to provide a place for men and women of marriageable age to go on a date.
As for relaxation and leisure, they are only incidental.
After the date, of course, we can’t just go back to our own dormitories.
A corresponding hotel complex needs to be built around the park and playground.
And there are hotels, amusement parks and parks.
Perhaps some shops can be added on the first floor of the hotel buildings.
Forming a commercial street.
Contribution points and game currency can be used there to purchase high-end food and luxury goods that are difficult to buy in other urban areas of the shelter.
There are also some non-essential decorations and toys.
Among these products, in addition to high-end food.
The other commodities are not included in the production chain designed by Su Wu.
Most of them come from pre-apocalyptic inventory moved from other affiliated shelters.
The quantity is limited and cannot be sold as a regular product.
However, the price is a bit high and it is only available in limited quantities here in the commercial street, but that’s not a big problem.
"The total area of playgrounds and parks is expected to reach 330 million square meters."
“It’s equivalent to three Disney parks combined.”
"If the building structure is more compact, more indoor tourist facilities can be added."
“The tour time will be further restricted, with only 4-hour half-day tickets and 8-hour full-day tickets being issued.”
"And if it's open 24 hours a day,"
"It can receive about 240 million to 500 million visitors every day."
"That's enough to meet the needs of the entire shelter."
Plan all the way down.
Su Wu suddenly discovered.
He has designed the 8th underground floor into a super complex that integrates commercial entertainment, billion-ton material storage, and industrial manufacturing.
And the scary thing is, even if so much stuff can be stuffed in.
They also only occupy less than half of the 8th underground floor, so there is still great potential for expansion in the future.
“From studying to working, from starting a family to leisure travel.”
"The entire farmyard shelter now basically includes all the common functions of a complete human society."
“If you only look here.”
"In fact, we are slowly beginning to escape the apocalypse."
From an ordinary person's perspective.
From birth, to going to school, to working as an adult, to falling in love, getting married and having children.
All that you need.
All of this can be done in the farmyard, a super shelter that can accommodate tens of millions of people.
Even if in the end you never take a single step forward in your life.
It won't have much impact on his life.
The so-called natural disaster outside the shelter, the so-called extremely cold world on the surface.
To him, it's probably all the same as the TV dramas on the Internet.
At most, it can be used as a topic of conversation after dinner, but there will be no real feelings.
"If I have to describe it,"
"It's not appropriate to use the Truman Show."
"A paradise on earth, or a miniature Earth."
"It's more relevant."
Staring at the holographic projection of the shelter.
Thinking about the new generation in the future, most of them may be confined here from birth to death.
Su Wu felt it for the first time.
The shelter with a diameter of 7 kilometers was once thought to be huge.
Suddenly it became a little narrow.
"Walk a little faster."
“You can walk from one side to the other in an hour.”
“It is the entire scope of the life activities of countless people.”
He shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Su Wu let go of this unreasonable melancholy.
He reached out and clicked to enlarge the holographic projection structure diagram of the 7th underground floor.
He does not have the ability to allow large numbers of ordinary people to leave the shelter in the future.
However, through planning, people living in shelters can have a better life.
To some extent, this can be regarded as compensation for the new population born in the shelter in the future.
