Coming out of the cafeteria where they had lunch, Sister Hehua held Lan Ze's hand, and the two of them climbed up from the elevator to the ground.

The open-air part of the commercial district looks like a park. There are benches, round tables, big umbrellas, and awnings everywhere. If you sit down at a merchant's table and order something, a beautiful waiter will appear and serve you tea, wine, and cold drinks.

Friendly service. But no one bothered to borrow tables and chairs when passing by.

If all the urban buildings were demolished, the city would be a series of neatly spaced pits.

The commercial district is one of the pits. However, it looks flat. The buildings and facilities are hidden underground.

This saves energy.

The entire building structure in a pit can be centrally supplied with energy. Various pipe networks can also be set up centrally to save materials.

This setting is actually forced.

Because of human panic psychology.

For hundreds of years, the existence of old fission nuclear power plants at various stages from construction to abandonment has always caused all kinds of bizarre protests. The protesters are wildly imaginative, looking for various crimes for the nuclear power plant. What about the Chernobyl explosion?

It’s Fukushima’s sewage leakage, it’s radiation, it’s mutation, it’s imperialism’s manipulation of energy lifelines, it’s socialism’s subversion of free exploitation, it’s not environmentally friendly, it’s not beautiful...

When nuclear fusion power plants first appeared, they learned their lesson and dug a big hole to bury themselves from the beginning.

Lest people still feel uneasy, the buildings within several kilometers of the fusion power station are safely isolated from the power station using soil and rocks, that is, the earth itself.

The first new city was built on the banks of the Euphrates River. After it was built like this, people probably lived in it quietly, out of sight and out of mind.

In fact, fusion is much safer than fission. Moreover, there is an artificial lake directly above the crater where each fusion power plant is located. It is said that water can absorb radiation. So, no matter which big city on the earth you go to, look at the map

Where is the artificial lake with the most regular shape? If you dig deeper, you will definitely find the power plant.

Ever since the advent of fusion power plants to provide commercial electricity, energy has become free of charge. There was a period when traditional agriculture was almost finished. Especially vegetables, berries, and grains with short growth cycles, in high-rise buildings and underground building spaces,

Use nuclear energy to plant intensively without soil, and connect the city's demand pipeline network nearby to supply residents' needs.

With the fusion power station, there are big cities and vast wilderness dotted all over the earth.

But people are stupid. Vegetables and rice from urban farms are cheap and delicious, but some people think that things grown naturally on the land are high-end.

Zhang He and Lan Ze slowly strolled for a walk under big umbrellas and awnings, then walked along a tree-lined road and left the business district.

The block next to the business district looks more like a park.

In this area, the buildings are low, there are many flowers and trees, and there are many pools. Through the hedges, you can still see young children running wildly in the yard.

Nominally, this area is the municipal service area. In fact, the government department occupies a small door on the ground, and a sign is hung at the door. Once you enter, you can take the elevator directly to the underground. The largest area is actually the kindergarten.

The hedge is the kindergarten wall.

Under the trees among the flowers, colorful amusement facilities pop up from time to time, with children climbing up and down; there are also naughty children sitting on tree branches and shouting, and there are naughty children playing endlessly with water bubbles. Don't look at the naughty children

If so, the whole place is quite pleasing to the eye.

The place they were going to was the municipal nursery, next to the kindergarten. In theory, the kindergarten was an affiliated unit of the municipal nursery. In fact, the surface area occupied by the nursery was negligible.

The main building of the nursery is also underground. There is a registration office on the ground.

Lan Ze originally planned to drag Zhang He down, and the two of them would take a tour together, then come up and register at the terminal. Maybe the beautiful scenes of the future of mankind could influence her and make her believe that babies are very cute.

"I'm not interested, I won't watch."

Unexpectedly, Sister Hehua flatly refused. When she came in, she went straight to the only human receptionist.

The receptionist was a girl, sitting next to the high-authority terminal. Her skin color was very fair, her hair was not too dark, and her face resembled that of the Yangtze River Valley. She was quite delicate. The girl stood up and said hello to them both, with a sweet voice.

After Zhang He said hello, he asked her directly: "Can astronauts raise children in the city?"

The girl's face immediately turned red: "I don't know, let me check it for you."

Each country has provided some guarantees for its own staff in the aerospace complex, and the specific guarantee methods vary depending on the national conditions. Da Shenzhou has prepared a spare parts library for commonly used body organs, which are generally stored in affiliated hospitals of the joint complex and kept frozen all year round.

This kind of protection method is silly and rich, but it is effective. Various radiations from outer space are exposed all year round, and you may not know which part of your body will become cancerous on any day. Just take it off and replace it with a new one, and you don’t have to wait for a long time.

Organ cloning period. In the fierce competition in space, it is good to gain an extra second of opportunity.

After a female astronaut signs a contract, she needs to remove one side of the "next-generation cell generator" (referred to as "ovary") and keep it on the ground. This is also one of the contents of the spare parts library. In the spare parts library, this is the only thing that has been cut from the body.

of.

"Um...ma'am, could you please provide your ID number?"

This receptionist girl looks really fresh.

In Lanze's mother's office, the little girl randomly asked to help is similar to this.

"I don't have an ID number." Zhang He said expressionlessly, "I am a member of the Federation."

"Ah...yes, I forgot, sorry...your number?"

The behemoth of the Consortium spans countries and gives independent numbers to all off-site staff. Of course, personnel in units related to the Consortium have ID cards; but those who truly belong to the Consortium do not have ID cards.

Having said that, our country's military personnel are also individually numbered and do not need ID cards.

The identity code of the consortium is a string of alphanumeric characters starting with ht, which is longer than China’s ID number.

"Come on, seeing how open-minded you are, it turns out that you are a promising talent."

Zhang He reached out and pulled out the oval-shaped joint identity card from the back of the bracelet, and swiped the dog tag on the scanning port of the terminal. They always called that thing a dog tag internally.

"The leader said during our training that the customers are right." The girl's eyes sparkled.

Zhang He smiled at her.

After swiping the dog tag, Zhang He pressed the thing back to its original place.

Some people like to wear ID tags around their necks, close to the carotid artery. The soft loops used to put around the neck are distributed free of charge by the consortium, and they are also sold to the public. They come in many styles and varieties, with a little bit of decoration. They correspond to dog tags. That thing

Commonly known as a dog collar. Putting it on means that you are being raised by the federation. How grand is it to go out and be watched by the people?

Zhang He didn't mind the word "support", she just didn't like wearing necklaces.

"Let me check if your 'next generation cell generator' can be used..."

While waiting for the girl to fumble around, Lan Ze asked Zhang He in a low voice: "Sister, when did you perform the surgery?"

Zhang He turned around and told him: "It was removed when I joined the company. All female astronauts have to undergo this procedure."

"Well...I'm so glad I'm a boy."

"You think men don't need to use a knife?" Sister Hehua chuckled, "Things hanging outside are more susceptible to radiation."

Lan Ze felt a chill between his legs. He shouldn't have started this topic. But his brain couldn't help but began to think painfully, which side of the dandruff was cut off by those lonely heroes in the sky?

"I only have the right side now." Sister Hehua patted her waist.

Xiaolan nodded quickly.

The most precious resource of a country is its people. People build it and people consume it. The meaning of civilization lies only in the people themselves.

Genes appear in individuals by chance. This is actually the wealth that belongs to all mankind.

Astronauts can choose to agree that the state has the authority to dispose of their own reproductive equipment when something unexpected happens to them; they can also choose not to agree. They can not cut it off, or they can cut it off and hand it over to other trustworthy custodians.

Cutting it off also has another use.

For people who are close to the limit of childbearing age and have no children, the management system under the Ministry of Civil Affairs will automatically match the opposite sex. After matching, the system will automatically send a letter to both parties. If both parties agree, there will be one more child in the world soon. There are many

People take the initiative to apply for system matching.

It is more troublesome to take out female reproductive cells. Therefore, even if they are not astronauts, many women cut off one side and hand it over to the custody department. In this way, it is simple to plan to have a child. You don’t have to show your face during the whole process, and the child will be born.

Already.

The benefits of having a baby are huge. It also reduces taxes.

As for raising children, the municipal government is responsible for raising them anyway. Because the manpower of the next generation belongs to the resources of the whole society. Just go and take a look at it on a whim, and there is no problem if you don't take a look at it. The people who are responsible for taking care of children for the whole society are professionals.

With professional qualities, they are much more reliable than the biological parents of the child.

"Okay, I found it." The girl breathed a sigh of relief. "It can be transferred from the Joint Hospital. If it needs to be activated, it will take about a week. You don't have any children yet, do you need to register your birth?"

"Yes." Zhang He replied with a smile.

"Excuse me, how many children do you have?"

Zhang He and Lan Ze looked at each other and said in unison: "Three!"

Lan Ze also stretched out three fingers.

"Excuse me...the man is this one, right?"

The girl opened her big innocent eyes and looked at Lanze in confusion.

"It's me, that's right."

"Your identity?"

Lanze swiped his bracelet.

"Uh, it turns out...it turns out you two are married!" The girl made an abnormal sound and hurriedly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm so envious!"

In this era, people who get married at a young age are rare. Someone who looks as young as Lan Ze is even rarer. He is five and a half years younger than Zhang He. Zhang He is 30 and a half years old, and he is 25. Although he is not a child for a long time.
