Chapter 655 Academy Kingdom (2)
"Yes, one billion in ten years." Behind Ling Qiushui, a man in a long trench coat looked at her affectionately.
He is the politics teacher in this campus and also Ling Qiu Shui's current boyfriend.
After the legal relationship between husband and wife is completely abolished, no matter how close a man and a woman get, the friendship will end.
Although the single rate is very high, there are also many people who are willing to live in a world of two. There are couples like them with no real names everywhere.
"Can we feed this population growth rate?" The first reaction of a girl who escaped from the famine and war era was still the unforgettable shadow of that period.
She is a time traveler, but only a time traveler with no advantages.
No cheats, no system.
With his status as a commoner in the troubled times of ancient times, he could not give Ling Qiushui any help in modern society.
At most, when she was a history teacher, she could be more sympathetic to the plots in ancient history and speak more emotionally in class.
"Did you know that human production capacity and technological level have actually enabled everyone on the planet to live a comfortable and warm life as early as decades ago, before even psychic things appeared? Life." The man in the trench coat chatted about economics with his girlfriend in a very straightforward manner.
"But if I remember correctly in the information, less than forty years ago, people were starving to death every day on earth?"
"Profit. In the past, humans had to control production and ensure that the selling price of products was higher than the cost, so that profits could be made. It was the same with food and consumer goods."
"You mean, in the past, you would rather control the total output and let some people starve and freeze, rather than lower the price?"
"Of course, if you are losing money, why sell it."
The two began a flirtation that was characteristic of their couple.
Unlike ordinary couples, they don't engage in sweet talk, and prefer to flirt in strange ways like sex.
They don't say "I love you" on a daily basis, but talk about class struggle and revolutionary friendship, even though they haven't actually revolutionized anything.
But these are the unique links that connect a pair of ancient people with modern people.
…
"Tietoujun!" A shout spread across half of the playground, interrupting this strange couple's chat.
I saw a man with a bald head that was comparable to a light bulb standing alone at the school gate, waving desperately in the direction of the two of them.
The man in the trench coat, who was having a long talk about economics with his girlfriend, looked at the bald man who called out his childhood nickname in a voice that could be heard by half of the school with a shit-eating expression on his face.
He could already predict how the students would be teased when they knew that he, a politics teacher who usually had a serious face and loved to talk about class struggle in class and after class, actually had a nickname called Tietou.
"Tietoujun?" Ling Qiushui looked at her boyfriend in confusion.
…
"Omu-kun, can you please stop shouting this name in public!!!" The man in the windbreaker lightly punched the bald man in the chest.
The relationship between the two seemed to be very good, and they started hooking up as soon as they met.
…
"Is this sister-in-law?"
"certainly."
"Qiu Shui, his name is Heath Damu, and he has been friends with me for decades."
"Tie Toujun, Mr. Damu is not from Earth?" Ling Qiushui imitated Heath Damu's accent and said.
At the same time, she looked at Heath Damu with strange eyes because the system did not display the other party's information.
According to her setting habits, the system will automatically display simple public information, such as names, of everyone who is less than ten meters away from her.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I am Heath Oki, the interstellar trade specialist of the Federation East Nine Territory Caribbean Culture Co., Ltd.!" After carefully examining the wave of Ling Qiushui, the bald head said seriously as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"You kid, stop trying to trick my wife!" The man in the windbreaker didn't know that the other party was suffering from an occupational disease, so he quickly pulled him back to a safe distance.
Ling Qiushui looked at the two of them unclearly.
Heath Ohmu is the interstellar trade specialist of Caribbean Culture Company. This time he is responsible for escorting the company's film and television works of the past year to the earth.
After completing the handover work, he applied for two days of leave to visit his old friends on Earth.
…
"How have you been these past few years?"
"Thanks to Mars, our lives have been much better in the past few years." Heath Damu said excitedly.
After the Federation completely turned Mars into a colony, and as the wealth from Mars continued to be transported back to the Federation, the life of the moon people improved greatly.
Although most of this goes into the pockets of the congressmen, through the trickle-down effect, in the end everyone can basically share a little bit.
"I heard that the Parliament has been preparing for war, and the next stop is to attack Venus and Mercury at the same time. Because of this wave of development of Mars, many people have become rich, and now everyone from top to bottom is clamoring to continue the attack."
Heath Damu withdrew his gaze from his sister-in-law and turned to chat with the man in the trench coat about the current situation.
"Are you going to fight again?" The man in the trench coat, who had been living peacefully in the white land for more than 20 years, felt that the war was so far away that it seemed like it happened in the last century.
The sea tribe and spiritual beasts are now our own, and there are systematic controls. Even fights need to be reported in advance, otherwise it is against the rules.
By the time the form was filled out and approved, the anger from the fight was basically gone. There is a fight between emotions, and when the anger subsides, there is still a fight.
"Only war can bring about change. Without change, how can low-class people like us have any chance of rising!"
"Omu-kun, you are so ****... There will always be many more people who die in battle than those who can climb up."
"But it is an opportunity after all. Unlike here, which is lifeless and has no possibility of success in ten thousand years. Life should be as bright as cherry blossoms. I am not willing to be an ordinary person in a stable life."
"..."
"Is it really that important to be a master?" The man in the windbreaker still wanted to persuade his friend.
Earth, which has taken egalitarianism to the extreme, implements a unified subsidy system for the entire society. No matter what the job content is, whether it is sweeping floors or building rocket engineers, everyone gets the same treatment and the same benefits.
Cells are equal.
Moreover, the system never cares about work enthusiasm. It only requires the KPI of completing tasks every day. It is useless to do more.
The human body does not need the heart to pump twice as much blood to the brain, nor does the stomach 996 work overtime to secrete twice as much gastric acid. The best plan is to follow the body's instinctive plan.
Producing beyond demand is a meaningless waste, and absorbing more nutrients than needed will only give birth to fat people.
…
On earth, clothing, food, housing, and transportation are all rationed, and wages are all pocket money.
In a sense, the system serves as both a teacher and a parent. Parents are responsible for food and accommodation, and are given some pocket money to buy toys every month.
Just be obedient.
In the entire society, everyone is a primary school student under discipline.
The Academy Kingdom is well-deserved.
