Lu Yuanming woke up.
This time he went to the dark matter world for eight days and finally rescued all the affected people. At the same time, he also made some livelihood and military arrangements below.
Fortunately, Alfred kept growing crops and stored them in many warehouses throughout New York City. Therefore, even if only half of New York City existed, there were still an exaggerated amount of preserved food crops, enough for the five million People eat it for fifty years!
Although there are still many things, such as the half of the pillar of human civilization that is fogging very slowly, and as the dark matter world New York City falls into this dark matter world, the surrounding gray and white space begins to gradually appear on the ground, and the gray and white fog begins to Dark matter surrounds New York City.
All this is just like Tang Zhe'an's description of the dark matter world. The existence of this dark matter world is confirmed based on cognition. There was originally nothing here, but with the emergence of dark matter New York City, this dark matter world was confirmed by cognition. Then the earth appeared, as well as the tombstones that might exist in the surroundings after the landing of other civilizations, or the traces produced by the dark matter natives (if there were any).
In other words, they can explore the specifics of the dark matter world!
Of course, it's still early days.
Having just experienced a huge disaster like the end of the world, these five million people are already exhausted. What they need is to recuperate, and what they need is time to heal the pain.
In the absence of fatal threats, Lu Yuanming is not a devil. He only stipulates eight hours of working time for all people every day plus two hours of study time and two hours of military training. The rest of the time can be completely used by the people. They have free reign.
Then under the strong advice of others, including Tang Zhe'an, he reluctantly shortened the study time and training time to one hour each.
It's not that he is stingy.
But although humans are now free from the doomsday situation, whether they are living people in the material world or dead people in the dark matter world, it is by no means the time to lie down and rest completely.
The more you see, the more you understand how terrifying this universe is.
It can be said to be a world full of despair!
If one is not careful, human civilization will be finished.
No, if you fall into the hands of those narrative level monsters, it will be a fate more terrifying than death. You will become an NPC that can be manipulated by others, or even worse meat. This is really more terrifying than death. Ten thousand times!
Lu Yuanming is the person who has the most contact with that narrative layer, so he is really afraid to the extreme. Therefore, not only has he become the real decision-maker, but it has also had a great impact on his character in the past two years. .
To put it simply, he has some symptoms of persecution phobia, and at the same time, his original mild obsessive-compulsive disorder has changed. In short, if he does not prepare well, does not improve his strength or human foundation, he feels that he is wasting his life, even in The criminal kind.
In short, the development of the dark matter world for at least the next year has set the tone, which is to recuperate and recuperate, and at the same time vigorously promote and reward fertility. In fact, just like humans in the physical world, you can also get pregnant and have children in the dark matter world. It's just that the child born is the body of the dark matter world, and the soul is no problem, just an ignorant and cute baby.
At this point, Lu Yuanming was relieved to return to the material world.
There was still a metal ceiling, and there were still enough guards around.
"...How is the situation now?"
Lu Yuanming asked immediately after getting dressed and walking out of the single room.
Ke Yurong immediately knew what Lu Yuanming was talking about, and she reported without thinking: "The people's mood is stable, the situation in each residential community is stable, the moon is stable, and there are no accidents in the surrounding deep space, and there are no accidents in the target star system." .”
Lu Yuanming nodded with satisfaction, this is the best news.
Stability, peace, security.
This is really more important than anything else.
Lu Yuanming was so loud, and then he vaguely heard singing, which made him strange, and he immediately walked towards the singing.
When Lu Yuanming went to the dark matter world, his body was asleep in the No. 1 Hospital. For the convenience of the people at that time, the No. 1 Hospital was built in the center of the first-floor residential area to make it easier for the surrounding people to seek medical treatment. In other words, after coming out of the First Hospital, you will be surrounded by large residential communities.
Lu Yuanming followed the singing and watched from a distance as a large number of people gathered in front of a square. In the center of the square, there was a hastily built stage on which a young man was singing. After finishing the song, he went up A young woman continued to sing.
Lu Yuanming's face didn't look very good. He said to Ke Yurong with a hint of coldness: "Didn't the order I issued before be completely silent? Is it so silent? You guys are just watching like this?"
Ke Yurong's face immediately showed fear. Not only him, but also several scholars and management officials who followed him had panic on their faces.
In the past two and a half years, Lu Yuanming has really been able to kill people. Although it is impossible to kill people indiscriminately, he will really be merciless once he commits serious dereliction of duty, corruption, bribery, or abuse of power for personal gain. Killing.
The matter at hand is not a big deal or a small matter. Seriously speaking, it can be regarded as dereliction of duty, and once checked, a large number of people will be in trouble, and even Ke Yurong may be included in it.
At this time, Yang Lie who was following the entourage immediately said: "Your Excellency, the decision maker, I have something to say about this matter."
Lu Yuanming nodded and said: "I'm afraid you won't say anything, okay, convince me, or start a malfeasance investigation."
Yang Lie was actually scared in his heart, but he had always been quick-witted, quick-thinking, and good at verbal communication. He immediately said: "Your Excellency the Decider's comprehensive silence order should be to prevent any information from being transmitted to the moon, right? That is to say, it can be described by the dark forest theory. We appear in a completely unfamiliar environment, and we have no idea what is around us, so we must stay quiet in the dark and silently observe whether there is any danger around us. This is the decision maker. The only reason to ask for silence, right?”
Lu Yuanming did not deny it at all. He nodded and said, "Yes, this is the reason why I ask for silence."
Having said this, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Lie also smiled and said: "During the period when the Decider was sleeping and testing the speed, we conducted a very thorough test and investigation of the information inside the entire moon. On the one hand, we are on the moon Internally, on the one hand, there are three layers of covering on the lunar crust, a layer of rock, a layer of flesh with a thickness of 300 kilometers, and a layer of high-tension metal. In this case, unless we launch high energy from the inside Highly penetrating X-rays, otherwise even if we release a nuclear bomb internally, the information cannot be transmitted beyond the moon, let alone singing and dancing."
Ke Yurong also organized her language at this time. She smiled obediently and said: "Also, this is also the opinion of the management seat. The people have made huge sacrifices and efforts in the past two and a half years, and now they can rest , otherwise they would be imprisoned in a newly built metal room, and the windows are all metal. Because of the silent order of the Determinator, they don’t even have access to the Internet. This would really stifle people, so we have opened up some public entertainment. The authority is limited to conventional sound waves, and we still have extremely strict control over electronic information signals."
Lu Yuanming was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "Yes, everyone needs entertainment. Of course, labor and study cannot be lacking. Military training must also be put on the agenda. Not to mention that all people are in the military, at least Being able to take up arms to resist when necessary..."
When the people around him first listened to Lu Yuanming's words, they all had smiles on their faces, but the more they listened, the more something was wrong. In the end, they didn't even dare to show any expressions.
Lu Yuanming looked around for a while and said: "We have only built one of the estimated five residential floors. The current living conditions are actually very bad, so let's hold a large meeting next. I, the management seat, and then All the upper management will attend the meeting, and we will discuss the people’s life, study and labor during the next two-year voyage.”
Everyone nodded expressionlessly, while Yang Lie sadly glanced at the square where everyone was listening to the song, and then everyone could sign up to sing.
(...Everyone, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that this decision-maker is a little obsessed. I can fully imagine what he wants to say next...)
Soon, the first post-apocalyptic meeting began under Lu Yuanming's order.
At the meeting, Lu Yuanming originally planned to speak first, but everyone who had already known his intention, including political figures from the five most powerful countries, and people in the five major seats, including upper-level management officials who also attended the meeting, immediately acted. Meeting arrangements were made.
First, representatives of the lower-level staff were arranged to take the stage to speak, describing the hard work and sacrifices in the past two and a half years. Then, managers from all aspects came to the stage to speak about their achievements in the past two and a half years, and what a great amount of projects they had carried out. Then the scholars took the stage to talk about the existing human resources and conditions, and finally the managers took the stage to talk about the existing shortcomings and prospects for the future.
Lu Yuanming also listened to these things very carefully.
Because these are things he witnessed happened with his own eyes.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died on the job, and millions of people have committed suicide...
All of these were things he had personally experienced and even watched helplessly.
No matter how necessary the reasons, these were indeed huge sacrifices, and he would never deceive himself in this regard.
Perhaps for the entire human population of 1.2 billion, these people who died in the line of duty and committed suicide can be said to be only a small part of the number, but for individuals and families, it is a huge indescribable pain and despair.
When the sand of the times falls on an individual, it is like a mountain of destruction.
"...To sum up, we humans can survive in deep space for at least five hundred years with existing materials! We have enough fresh water and seawater, we have stable hydrogen polymerization reactors, we have a complete industrial system, we There are also perfect wandering homes. Among them, the agricultural facilities are the most perfect. In the production of the agricultural layer, the food that can be produced every year is enough to feed everyone for two years! So we even have to lower it a little. throughput and avoid the huge waste that occurs in storage.”
"At the same time, the improvement of the industrial system allows us to use inventory materials to produce all the necessities we need, and even almost most luxuries."
"Finally, there are projects that still need to be constructed, including most of the reserve layer, most of the production layer, and the four-layer area of the residential layer. Of course, there is also the scientific experiment layer, which is only a framework so far. This is also It needs to be put on the agenda, however!”
The spokesperson looked at Lu Yuanming's increasingly bright eyes. His expression remained unchanged, and he pronounced a "but" with an accent at the end of his words, and then continued: "In view of the huge sacrifices made by the people and the absolute victory over the doomsday, , what we need now is no longer life-threatening work, but rest and recuperation!"
Lu Yuanming immediately frowned and was about to speak. The spokesman quickly turned over the report in his hand and said, "You know, we only have a population of 1.2 billion!"
When Lu Yuanming heard the word "population", he swallowed what he wanted to say.
There were actually a few beads of sweat rolling down the speaker's forehead. Not only him, but most of the people present had their backs wet with sweat. Fortunately, the worst of the situation was over. The spokesman immediately said: “The unified research and report of the sociology expert group, the biology expert group, the demography expert group, etc. show that human fertility and reproduction are inversely proportional to the workload, and at the same time, it is related to happiness, material abundance, social The degree of entertainment, safety, etc. are directly proportional to the factors. Everyone, we humans will go to the target star system in two years, and we will have controllable hydrogen fusion reactors, room temperature superconductors, high-tension metals, and even the moon. We in this huge spaceship in the galaxy can already be regarded as a first-class cosmic civilization, and we can already try to colonize the entire galaxy, but we only have a population of 1.2 billion!"
"Engineering requires people, scientific research requires people, colonization requires people, and even defending human civilization requires people. We don't have enough people!"
really.
Lu Yuanming thought silently.
Population is a big problem.
This is not a dark matter world!
The situation in the dark matter world is unclear, and science and technology cannot be developed. Therefore, in the dark matter world, the order of extraordinary beings is the foundation, and the population is secondary.
But the material world is different. Here, the more the population, the greater the probability of giving birth to geniuses and great scientists. At the same time, the development of civilization cannot be separated from the population. A technologically advanced interstellar civilization, if the population reaches a stagnant state or even If the population is gradually reduced due to low fertility, then this civilization is actually a declining civilization, and sooner or later it will completely disappear from the universe.
This was indeed something he had not thought of beforehand.
At this time, Lu Yuanming was about to go on stage to speak. He was thinking as he walked. When he reached the stage, he said: "I always believe that learning labor and military training are long-term human civilization strategies that we must adhere to. Only in this way, When danger comes, we have enough foundation to resist, but...population is indeed a big problem, so we should allocate them with ten hours of working time a day, one hour of study time, and one hour of military training time. daily time, how about?”
The surrounding representatives were stunned.
They really couldn't imagine what Lu Yuanming's original plan was before this.
Immediately, a large number of participants began to object.
Regarding this, Lu Yuanming did not adopt a high-pressure policy. He had a very serious conversation with these opponents, and then kept asking think tanks and scholars for their opinions.
Then during the three-day tug-of-war, Lu Yuanming finally reluctantly agreed to the joint opinions of the management seats. In fact, this was also the opinion of almost all participants.
Six hours of work every day, plus one hour of knowledge study and one hour of military training.
This motion was passed.
When leaving the venue, Lu Yuanming's face was full of unwillingness.
