Chapter 612 Accident

The overall stagnation of population growth has greatly promoted the popularity of artificial womb technology.

This is due to the fact that childbirth is essentially a very energy-consuming and troublesome matter.

Ten months of hard work, the interruption of my original career, the inevitable drastic decline in physical activity, and the drastic change in my body shape were all very uncomfortable changes.

Not to mention the tremendous pain that must be endured during the childbirth process, as well as the fact that the maternity ward is still watching eagerly, and the mortality rate is close to 1 in 10,000.

If there wasn't something called love, or something called family responsibility, or something called social atmosphere, many people would choose to give up having children.

But the White Land changed everything.

Love has been diluted by moralization, the concept of family has disintegrated, and the social atmosphere has been completely reversed.

Atomized individuals under the thinking network, everyone puts almost all their attention on themselves rather than others.

The salty idea of ​​placing hope in the next generation instead of one's own efforts was swept away by the whip of the system.

The spiritual intimate partner is the system. The original husband (wife) can only step back and become the third party, or the first physical communication partner. After all, the system will not idle around and turn into a human form to make changes.

…

"Since there is no need to give birth or raise one, why don't we make one too? Anyway, it will be done after sleeping on it." After listening to the complaints from the people above, someone immediately joked.

The existence of artificial wombs, combined with genetically optimized in vitro fertilization technology, and the follow-up centralized training and education plan, make cloud-based baby raising from scratch to adulthood a reality.

Two people who are willing to leave offspring only need to lie in the operating room for a night, and a nanobug-type surgical robot will enter the subject's specific cavity and remove the corresponding germ cells under non-invasive conditions.

These cells undergo genetic optimization and begin the fertilization process. After the fertilized eggs develop into embryos, they are sent to the artificial womb factory, without human participation in the entire process.

So for people donating cells, it's really just a matter of getting some sleep.

"What was it built for?" However, this was the first reaction of most students.

"..."

The atmosphere became awkward again.

…

"There are a total of 200,000 culture tanks here, and it is expected that 200,000 people will come out of this factory every year in the future."

"Two hundred thousand..."

"Will all our descendants be born in factories in the future?" a girl asked in a crisp voice.

"It's not impossible if you are willing to come by yourself. The hospital's obstetrics department has only been reduced and will not be canceled for the time being, but compared with using an artificial womb, it is too much trouble.

There is no need to stick to the form of birth, it is still your child in the DNA anyway. This is human progress, a revolution that frees women from the exhausting ten-month pregnancy! "The team leader was influenced by his mentor, who is also an enthusiastic supporter of artificial womb technology.

"It's very feminist."

"..."

"Teacher, when will same-sex children be possible?"

"This is not technically mature yet, and there are not many research resources approved by the system. It is estimated that it will take a long time to become popular."

"What about self-inbreeding and creating clones?"

"There are a lot of research resources for this project, but there are too few people willing to do it. After all, although the system doesn't care, the ethics of the vast majority of researchers still cannot accept it for the time being."

…

The topic gradually slipped into the abyss, but everyone who was chatting in the internal communication network did not pay too much attention.

In the age of psychic energy, there have always been many underground laboratories that use living humans as experimental materials, or conduct human cloning and genetic modification. Most of these radical researchers are known as dark wizards by the world.

It's just that with the establishment of the White Earth, almost all of these people who wanted to pursue freedom and power by any means left the earth with the Federation. Those who were willing to stay here were all relatively good people.

They are also curious about the mysteries of the world, but they will not choose to explore in a way that hurts others, at least in this generation.

…

Moon Fortress Command Center.

"In twelve days, Luna will reach Mars."

"Is the melting star cannon ready?"

"Already aimed at Phobos, and the loaded plasma jet deceleration device is also ready."

"The final overhaul of the landing bay of the first batch of landing troops is completed."

"The preparation of supplies for the field construction corps is completed."

"good."

"When approaching Mars, the research team on the gravitational balance between Mars and the Moon pays attention to real-time monitoring."

"Yes, sir."

As the Lunar Fortress approaches, preparations for various matters have begun. One of the most crucial points is the issue of gravity.

The gravitational force between the Moon Fortress and Mars is extremely terrifying. The Federation currently lacks the abnormal method like Bai Mo that can completely offset the gravitational force of the Earth and the Moon on its own. It can only achieve the orbit change effect by adjusting the planetary engine.

…

“While Lingyan 8 was wandering around Mars recently, it discovered something strange.

In a newly discovered large city, there seem to be many traces of human civilization. "At the same time, two officials from the Mars Intelligence Office exchanged the latest findings of the detection robot.

"What do you mean, you mean someone landed on Mars earlier than us?"

“The design of the outer walls of this city has the style of the earth, which is completely different from the chaos of other cities, and the corresponding technology is much ahead of other settlements.

However, due to the powerful psychic defense system on the city wall, robots on the ground cannot sneak in, and spy satellites in low-Earth orbit can only take extremely blurry photos. It is not yet certain what is going on. "

"It's troublesome this time. I even slapped my chest in front of all the leaders and said that the Battle of Mars was definitely a one-sided defeat... How could there be such an accident!"

As the leader of the Mars-related intelligence team, the bearded official was in tears.

A few days ago, he took the compiled data and reported to the members in the federal conference hall that everything was normal. He made them feel that this colonial war could only have a draw, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

"I hope nothing will happen... If I had known better, I wouldn't have pretended to be bragging to the leader." Cold sweat broke out on the bearded forehead.

"Team Leader Zhao, are you... are you okay?" The person chatting with the bearded man also noticed something was wrong. The other person remained silent after listening to his words, and his eyes were obviously blurred.

"It's okay. Remember not to tell anyone what happened today, otherwise you will be charged with leaking secrets. After I have compiled the latest information, I will send it to the speaker in person." He said in a calm and calm voice.

"clear!"
