Chapter 16 Shock

"In 2021, the United States, China and the European Union jointly studied the Mars spacecraft; in 2040, the three countries jointly built the first spacecraft, and from then on they could easily leave the earth and travel in space; in 2042 A.D., humans discovered the first one near Saturn in the solar system. Wormhole; 20 AD..."

"Wait!"

Yun Yi interrupted him: "A wormhole was found in 2042? So, in the history of space exploration, human beings discovered wormholes first, and then discovered other planets?

Bai Kaixin stared at him unhappily: "I don't like others to interrupt me!"

Yun Yi smiled: "Then go on, I won't talk."

"Hmm." Bai Kaixin continued: "You know that there are a large number of tincated lenium complex rays in the wormhole, which can cause fatal damage to the human body. When the wormhole was first discovered, the Three Kingdoms immediately organized the spacecraft to enter, but when the spacecraft flew back, all the people died. Despite the setback, the three countries did not stop because of this. They organized a large number of manpower to study it and finally built protective facilities. Three years later, in 2045, they sent another spaceship and successfully crossed the wormhole to reach the extremely distant starry sky. This year, it was positioned as the first year of the universe.

Yun Yi didn't say anything this time, just listened silently.

Bai Kaixin continued: "Although I walked out of the solar system and found a wormhole, because the warp jump engine has not been developed, the flight speed of the spacecraft is very slow, and habitable planets have never been found. Some people even suspect that there is no inhabited planet in space at all. In this way, until 26 years in the cosmic calendar, human beings finally discovered the first habitable planet, and it has been out of control since then. When the time reaches 218 of the cosmic calendar, human beings have begun to advance like the 100th habitable planet.

Speaking of this, Bai Kaixin looked at Yunyi and said, "Do you know what countries lacked the most in that era?"

"Ship!" Yunyi replied confidently, "As long as there are a large number of spacecraft, it means that you can explore more stars and find more habitable planets!"

"Incorrect answer!" Bai Kaixin looked at him disdainfully.

Yunyi thought for a moment and said, "Energy?"

"No."

"Mineral resources?"

"No."

"Advanced technology?"

"It's not right either."

Yunyi found several answers, which were rejected by Bai Kaixin. He couldn't help asking, "What the hell is that?"

Bai Kaixin smiled: "People!"

"People?"

"Yes, it's human." Bai Kaixin said: "In that era, it took people to drive a spaceship, develop new planets, produce various equipment and facilities, build houses, build spacecraft, and build people. No matter what you do, you need people. Therefore, in that era, the most lacking thing was people. Every country has vigorously implemented a policy to encourage childbirth. Couples who are in good health but do not have children will be sent to prison. If they have a child, they will be despised by others. Having two children can only be regarded as ordinary and have four children. Such a family can get a lot of subsidies every year, and have eight Women with more than one child will even be awarded a medal by the state..."

Yunyi's eyes were full of appalling: "Doesn't that mean that women were completely fertile machines in that era?"

"That's right." Bai Kaixin said lightly: "As long as a woman gives birth to more than three children, the state has given her more subsidies every month than most people. Do you think it's worth working hard outside every day, or as long as you are pregnant and free at home, can you still get a high subsidy? In order to get more people, some countries even began to study * people... However, I don't know why, * human beings not only can't reproduce, but also have a very short lifespan. Generally, they can't live to be 20 years old, and the gains outweigh the losses, and later no one studied them. Oh, I have to mention the Asian tribes here. At that time, some countries thought it was a genetic problem after seeing the results of * people and began to modify human genes. Later, although it had to be terminated under the joint sanctions of various major powers, it also created many strange human beings, who were the ancestors of all the Asian tribes.

"So that's how the Asian tribe came from..." Yun Yi muttered.

Bai Kaixin continued: "Although various countries made great efforts to create more people at that time to make up for the lack of human resources in all aspects, you know that the larger the population base, the faster the growth." Speaking of this, Bai Kaixin suddenly asked, "Do you know which country had the largest population at that time?"

Yun Yi shook his head: "These are not mentioned in history books."

Bai Kaixin smiled: "When the Mars spacecraft was discovered in 2021, the most populous country on earth was India, with a population of 2.1 billion; followed by China, with a population of 2 billion; the European Union had a population of 700 million; the United States had a population of less than 600 million; ridiculously, due to the resources on the earth at that time With the scarcity and the increasing difficulty of raising children, many countries have only one or no one. Until the spaceship was built in 2040, the three countries recognized the problem of population and began to encourage fertility. In order to increase the population, the three countries have relaxed the entry conditions at the same time. No matter which country's people are willing, the two countries can provide them with air tickets, housing and basic living security. Of course, the leaders of other countries are not fools and immediately strictly control the outflow of people. Until the first year of the universe in 2045, China had a population of 6.5 billion, the European Union 2.1 billion, and the United States 1.9 billion. Subsequently, it entered the space age. By the time of 218, China's population had reached 120 billion, the European Union 30 billion, while the United States still had the smallest population, only 23 billion..."

"How can this be!"

Yunyi couldn't help shouting, "How can there be so many people?" Take the Zhao and Song Empire ten years ago as an example, the Zhao and Song Empire with more than 100 planets has a population of less than 30 billion! At that time, all mankind only discovered 100 planets. How could it be necessary to have so many people?

Bai Kaixin looked at him speechlessly: "Don't you know how backward technology was at that time? Take the construction of a spacecraft as an example. Now it only takes dozens of people to start the assembly line, and the spacecraft can be built one by one. And what about that time? Just to build an armor plate requires at least hundreds of skilled workers, including sheet metal workers, welders, surveyors, inspectors, computer experts, etc... You know, in that era, for the most powerful China, no more than 20 spacecraft will be built every year, each of which is very Something of value. The situation of making spacecraft is like this, and other aspects can be imagined.

"So it is." Yunyi suddenly realized.

Bai Kaixin said coldly, "It seems that you are not too stupid."

Yunyi thought for a moment and asked, "China's population is mainly Han, and the Han population is the most common, but at that time, there were many people in other countries. For example, the India you mentioned had a larger population than China at the beginning. Even if the government woke up later, if the time is accelerated, the population There should be a lot, right? And..." Yunyi asked puzzledly, "I have also seen the characteristics of Indians from history books. Why are there no Indians in the universe now? I don't seem to have seen any of them.

Bai Kaixin said, "The main race in India is the Hindustan. Not only have you seen it, but I have never seen it. This race should be extinct like the people.

"The peace clan?" Another race that has never been heard of, which aroused the curiosity of Yunyi.

Bai Kaixin laughed and said, "Well, the He clan, also known as the Dahe nation. The main ethnic group of Japan before the Dark Ages. The He ethnic group and the Hindustan people should have been exterminated in the dark era.

"It's the dark era again..." Yunyi muttered, "If I ask you how they became extinct, you will definitely say you won't tell me for the time being, right?"

Bai Kaixin laughed and said, "I didn't see that you are getting smarter and smarter now. OK, it's late. I'm going to bed. Let's talk about anything tomorrow.

After leaving Bai Kaixin's room, Yunyi was not in a hurry to go back, but sat in the open space of the rock base and looked up at the sky.

India...Japan...

Indians...and ethnic groups...

"What is the dark era...?"
