Chapter 587 Separation
"Let's... get divorced." As Lin Yuedong expected, this may be the most frequent word on the White Land in the first few months after returning from the virtual world to reality.
Since the emergence of human civilization, the word family, which has been the cornerstone of human society for thousands of years, collapsed unexpectedly in the rapidly changing world.
Except for the few people who truly love each other, other couples who make do with marriage because of interests or pressure to get married, almost without exception, choose to divorce after returning to the real world.
However, compared to the younger generation, after regaining their youthful bodies, the divorce rate for middle-aged and elderly couples in the White Land is even higher.
The excessively long time together has wiped out all the passion that the couple once had. In the original society, what maintained their relationship was actually more just interests and habits.
They chose the choice due to various reasons such as the division of property after divorce, the ownership of the house and property, the impact on their children, the private evaluations of people around them, and the belief that most of their lives have gone through and there is no point in further trouble when they are old. Just make do.
But these restrictions are gone now. You don’t need to divide your money, you don’t need to take care of your children, your appearance and body can be maintained until the day you die, and you don’t need a partner to take care of you.
So, what else is there to miss?
People in the new society are more like independent atoms than part of a family.
…
"I'm a little afraid to send the investigation status here back to the headquarters." In the rebuilt Tianhai City on Earth, a fashionably dressed girl was typing on the computer word by word.
"These are internal reference documents, not things published on the Internet." A smartly dressed OL next to her corrected the girl's mistake.
After some negotiations, as the Federation's chartered reporters, they will conduct a series of investigations and visits before the Federation's lunar fortress officially leaves the Earth-Moon orbit, leaving behind the last memories of humanity on Earth for the Human Federation, which is about to leave.
After all, after this, humans on the moon and humans on Earth will drift apart, and they will never see each other again for at least the next thousand years.
"If this information is made public, it will definitely explode in our society!"
"Don't forget, we all signed an agreement before we came here. After we go back, we will be brainwashed by spiritual magic and forget everything related to this place.
It is our job to document what happens here fairly and objectively. "Ol Jianxue, who was wearing a suit and skirt, said in an unusually cold voice.
"Sister Jane, have you ever thought about..."
"No." Jian Xue replied decisively.
She guessed the question the other party wanted to ask just from the girl's eyes.
The reward for returning to Earth this time was particularly considerable. Jian Xue finally passed the screening and became a member of Earth's special correspondents.
He took a huge risk and returned to Earth in order to make a lot of money so that he and his brother could embark on the path of cultivation, instead of leaving everything at home and defecting.
Of course, the girl next to her was different. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She came to the earth this time just because she thought it was fun. As for staying... let alone she hadn't thought about it, no one else had thought of the possibility.
What if the good-natured princess doesn’t do that and defectes to an alien planet to become a civilian?
"In a society where almost no one gets married and few want to have children, I think it will be better sooner or later." The girl changed the topic again.
"...Their fertility can be maintained for more than a hundred years..." When Jian Xue was sorting out various data, she often wondered whether the earth was occupied by aliens several times.
In just a short ten years, those compatriots in the past have changed so much that they are no longer the same species as themselves.
"And the people here are so Buddhist that they don't feel the atmosphere of modern society at all." The two people, who are accustomed to wearing smart suits and skirts, felt that they were out of tune with the entire society when they walked on the street.
In the central business district of Marinjoa, the federal capital, everyone is busy at work, eager to work for two days a day and make two days' worth of money.
As a result, Tianhai is full of leisurely people. They are both big cities, but they have completely different styles.
"They have no desire to make money and work just to complete basic survival tasks."
"If you are so lazy, won't there be an economic crisis?" a certain young lady said unhappily.
According to the economic theory she knew, when social demand shrank significantly, an economic crisis would come.
"Production in the fully planned economy is controlled in real time through the system based on total demand... There is no problem of overproduction."
"Then it's time for GDP to go down."
“According to my calculations, there should be about 35% of what it was before the division of mankind.
However, this data is actually of little value. There is no finance, no business on the earth, and many service industries have disappeared. It is not comparable to the Federation at all.
The simplest one is like a lawyer.
In the federation, the legal industry is a trillion-dollar federal industry, but here, it is zero, because the system is directly responsible for judgment and there is no need for lawyers at all. "
"...I can begin to understand why my father had to leave." Growing up, she had often heard about her father's overt and covert dissatisfaction with the earth.
It's just that the girl who has been living in the moon villa since she was sensible has always been curious about that blue planet and always wants to visit it.
"He wants to control his own destiny." The girl muttered.
…
"The system prompts that the space rocket bound for the moon will take off the day after tomorrow. Please be prepared to leave." Just as the girl was filled with pride, the mobile phone on the table rang.
"The other thing that makes me uncomfortable about staying here is that the system's eyes are everywhere! I always feel like I'm being watched by many pairs of eyes every time I change my clothes."
"Pfft." These words made Jian Xue, who had always had a cold face, smile.
Unlike the girl who has been living on the moon as long as she can remember, and who knows only a little about the establishment process of the White Land, she is relatively older and still vaguely remembers what happened back then.
However, she only knew that the founder of the system had a back figure with long black hair, and had never really seen the front.
On the federal Internet, the news about that person back then has been extremely completely wiped out. Officials have been vague about this matter, avoiding talking about it, and slowly using time to dissipate his influence.
Coupled with Bai Mo's information sensing ability after the seventh level, even people who know this name will never mention his real name.
Due to many factors, fewer and fewer people in the new generation of the moon know the truth.
