The world enters the age of mythology.

This seemed to be the first time he held a girl's hand, it was soft and comfortable to the touch...

Chapter 203 The First Anniversary After the Disaster

That night, it was almost eleven o'clock when the banquet ended, Lu Yiming felt very relaxed and his head was a little dizzy.

Although he was clumsy and like a puppet during the whole dance, the whole process was still full of laughter.

In the past, he would definitely not engage in dancing and the like. He would find parties very troublesome. What is the difference between dancing and radio gymnastics?But now I find it interesting.

"Hmm...you're a quick learner, quite talented. If you do it a few more times, you might be able to become a teacher and teach girls how to dance." Jin Lili praised.

"It's the teacher who teaches well! The legendary rich woman really has some skills that ordinary people don't have."

"Cut, don't try to please me."

Lu Yiming suddenly said: "I have a question I want to ask you, I've kept it in my heart for a long time..."

"Seeing that I'm in a good mood, you can ask whatever you want!"

"Do you often wear black silk and use your feet to tease other boys?"

Jin Lili blushed suddenly, and she looked a little annoyed: "How is it possible, how is it possible! What do you think of me, I don't usually wear this kind of clothes..." Halfway through her speech, she suddenly realized something, and shifted away with a smile The topic was changed: "Do I look good in this outfit? Look at those boys, they have been sneaking at me, hehe..."

Lu Yiming got a satisfactory answer, and praised with satisfaction: "Well, it looks good, but there is no need to wear high heels every day for the sake of looking good, it is really tiring. Go home, see you tomorrow!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Back home, after washing up, Lu Yiming lay down on the bed and recalled what happened today.

He didn't think about it, maybe he was a little tired, so he fell asleep very quickly.

……

For all the people of the Sea of ​​Clouds, the first anniversary after the disaster is indeed a festival worth celebrating, almost equivalent to the National Day in the traditional sense.

The original human era ended on this day.And a new era is coming on this day.

Regardless of whether this new era is good or bad, human beings have to accept it no matter what.

The big screen in the community square is playing the latest action-level disaster movie "Apocalyptic Crisis".

The audience is watching with relish, and there are surprises, laughter and exclamations from time to time in the film studio, one after another, indicating that many audiences are immersed in the world of the movie and cannot extricate themselves.

Yes, a low-budget movie, without too grand scenes, and without high-tech special effects, tells the story of superpowers fighting against monsters in a doomsday state, and even the subject matter is the freshest.

Like the scorpion car, the corpse of the eyeball monster, the bloody corpse, the video of the white-haired girl, etc., the crew directly borrowed a large number of existing props for filming.

But it was such a low-cost movie that made all the audience mesmerized.

In particular, when one of the movie characters unfortunately died in battle, many emotional girls wiped their eyes with their sleeves and shed tears of emotion.

The film industry is another industry that can promote a large number of employment. The director of this film became famous overnight, and even several actors have been widely discussed.

Although the current equipment is not very good, and it can't produce particularly awesome special effects, the actors work hard to practice, and the screenwriters also write the script with heart.

Without those miscellaneous unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, everyone worked hard, and the movies they made were even better. The stories born from real experiences were extraordinarily real to the audience.

Of course, movies are not free to watch, and you have to buy tickets. If you lose money directly, no one in this industry will be willing to do it. The price is not expensive, and you can buy a school for the price of a meal.

In addition to the new recreational activity of watching movies, young people also play basketball, table tennis, badminton, these ball games are also available.There are also several chess and card rooms in the community, providing chess and card services, as long as you don’t gamble; the Internet cafes in the community have also been opened for several days. Although the price of Internet access is still a bit high, young people are still full of enthusiasm for playing games.

Everyone is full of smiles and is quite satisfied with their current life.

"Huh, it's already ten o'clock when I woke up. I slept really well!"

Lu Yiming stretched his waist and walked out the door of the room. Maybe he was a little tired from dancing yesterday, but he actually slept through the whole morning today, what a depravity.

Walking to the community square, doing a few pull-ups, stretching his muscles and bones, he looked up and saw Zhong Peng.

The muscles on his face trembled: "Lao Lu, the latest sci-fi movie is so awesome! This feeling, this plot, this method... This year is the first year of sci-fi movies!"

Zhong Peng was so excited that he was dying, still immersed in the plot of the movie and couldn't extricate himself.

One of the characters is still based on him, and the faint sense of pretense makes him very happy, just like the protagonist of some light novels, mixing in the crowd pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, very cool!

Although he is a nerd and doesn't like interacting with strangers very much, deep down in his heart he also has the desire to act aggressive.So after seeing Lu Yiming, Zhong Peng couldn't help running over to show off: "...What a rare vacation! You must watch that movie, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

"It's rare that you didn't stay at home and sleep late." Lu Yiming smiled when he saw it for the first time.

He is thinking of a reasonable way to tell Zhong Peng the fact that his beloved "Ms. Lin" has been chased away.

It's very funny to think about it.

"Then what, have you changed your crush recently..."

"Eh..." Zhong Peng was a little shy, "Why do you ask this?"

Well, looking at his ecological expression, Lu Yiming knew that there was no way to continue talking about this topic, otherwise this guy would become more of an otaku.

Lu Yiming turned his head and found a few red-headed documents pasted on the blackboard next to the square, promulgating a new policy: family planning.

"Is this the latest policy?"

In principle, apart from multiple births, a couple can only have two children at most.

Ordinary people have to pay a "social public support fee" if they have more children; if they are civil servants in the system, they will be dismissed directly if they violate this childbirth policy.

The document stipulates that it is best to have only one civil servant in the system. It is not a big problem to have two, but it is definitely a red line to have three, and they will be severely punished.Unless triplets or quadruplets can be born at one time, there is no problem.

All in all, this policy can definitely be regarded as a very high-pressure cordon. Dismissal and dismissal can be said to be a disaster for civil servants.

Zhong Peng nodded: "Oh, I can understand. After all, Yunhai's family business is too small and resources are too tight. If everyone has three or five children, there is no need to do any work. It is impossible for everyone to work together. Raise a child."

"Haha, this policy is not as simple as you imagined." Lu Yiming thought about it and said with a smile.

"How should I say, what unspoken rules are there?" After much deliberation, Zhong Peng couldn't think of a reason.

Apart from a little pressure on civil servants, this policy did not cause too many waves at the civil level, nor did it cause heated discussions.

On the one hand, the overall population is still relatively young, and the proportion of single people is relatively large. They feel that family planning has nothing to do with them.

On the other hand, the crowd's awareness of fertility is not strong. Everyone has received a relatively good education, and they are not people from remote mountainous areas. The concept of clan is not important.

Under such circumstances, the light year that "nurturing is more important than procreation" has become a basic consensus.There is a general feeling that if you have a child but cannot afford it, you are simply immoral and should be condemned.

Although the current living conditions of the Yunhai society have improved, they are still much worse than before the end. Most people think that one or two children is enough, who really wants to have three or five.

"So, this policy seems to be useless, but it is actually used to restrain... high-level people. Understand?"

"What? Who is restrained?" Zhong Peng's eyes widened, unable to understand what Lu Yiming was talking about.

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Think about it, are the people at the bottom or the top who have the most desire to have children? Who only want to have one child, and who are capable of three or five? Do you really think that there are many people who are willing to have children now? More than three children?"

"If everyone had only one or two children, there would be no family, not many relatives. If someone had three or five children, within a few generations, there would be a lot of relatives. Especially... …If the high-level people form a big family, then it is easy to form a blood-related political group, and the family world was born in this way.”

Lu Yiming said in a low voice: "So, family planning seems inhumane, but it guarantees the purity of the ruling group to a certain extent... There is no way to deny this. Although there are relatives now, they are only a few, and dozens There is no comparison to a large family of relatives."

Zhong Peng waved his hand, expressing that he has no interest in having many children...

He doesn't even have a girlfriend now, and he gets very annoyed when he sees a child crying "Whoa!

Everyone is still very young. With the use of body strengthening potions, it is estimated that the average life expectancy of each person can be increased by a large amount. Why do you think about these things so early.

"Forget it." Lu Yiming shook his head helplessly.

A long-term solid and stable political foundation is perfected in these details, especially now when there is not much opposition pressure.Even after a few decades, family planning may lead to an aging population, but that is another question.The purity of the system, and aging, are more important issues, and everyone's opinion is different.

"Or, go to the Internet cafe to play games today?"

"Okay, let's go!"

Chapter 204 It's Time To Leave

On the way to the Internet cafe, Lu Yiming saw some aunts and uncles queuing up in front of the community warehouse to receive coupons.

Everyone is full of enthusiasm for this brand new holiday.

"Captain Lu, are you here to buy something too?"

"Oh, haha, I'm just passing by... How are you!" Lu Yiming greeted them quickly.

Using these coupons, you can buy beef, chicken, pork, and some previously stocked canned luncheon meat, ham sausage, spicy sauce, etc., at a very low price.

Although it has been frozen in the freezer for a whole year, the taste of these foods is not bad. Meat under frozen conditions can be eaten even if it is stored for decades.

In order to ensure the fresh air in the shelter, most of the families do not have a kitchen, so people can only cook in the community kitchen on the deck.

Versatile housewives give full play to their wisdom in life. They marinate these meats, or brine them, or use pickles, prunes, etc., so that these meats can be preserved for a longer period of time.

Even Lu Yiming's old mother happily copied a large pot of pork with dried plums. In theory, a family of three can eat it for half a month without any problem.

But Lu Yiming, who is still growing, will finish eating in three to five days.He really felt like a pig, the kind that couldn't be fed no matter what...

The only fly in the ointment is that the currently distributed meat is stored in the past, not the extra production capacity, which is unsustainable.If the production capacity of the Sea of ​​Clouds cannot be increased, no matter how much meat is in reserve, it will be exhausted in one day...

This is another very troublesome matter. The government of Yunhai has really tried its best and tried every means, but it can only do what it is now.

It is too difficult to continue to increase the production of meat. More land is needed. For example, synthetic meat cultivation, Tenebrio molitor cultivation, animal farms, etc., the production capacity has reached the maximum, and it will not be fast if you think about it. .There are even professional people who raise and catch fish around the Sea of ​​Clouds, but they still can't satisfy everyone's meat needs...

In the past world, a super-large-scale pig farm with an area of ​​several square kilometers could raise millions of pigs.Several million heads, dozens of times more than the total population of the entire Yunhai!

But now, without enough land, there is no such ability. It is impossible to use all the land of Yunhai to raise pigs, right?Even the cruise ship has been transformed into a farm, but the output is still not enough. The size of the Yunhai is limited. No matter how you think about it, the lack of size is the key... You can't keep pigs in the water.

"Well, it would be great if we could fish on a large scale. A large whale weighs dozens of tons, which can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient protein production. However, it is not safe to go fishing."

At this moment, Ding Yuan is sitting on the top floor of the central building, looking at the beautiful scenery leisurely.

In the boundless ocean, the scenery is almost unchanging.

Yunhai is the only piece of land in the ocean, and it has also become an important habitat for seabirds.The birds were so alert that they never came near that white cloud.

Under normal circumstances, people would not kill these poor birds, but let them live, and even tried to domesticate some seabirds for fishing.

The sun has been hanging in the west for almost a year, and it has finally moved to the sea level. I don't know when it will set...

"Night is the real test."

In order to deal with the problem that plants cannot grow after the sun goes down, scientists have prepared some artificial light sources and equipped with special thermal power stations.Using the wood felled in the White Mist Continent is enough to generate electricity.

Even without sunlight, these artificial lights can support the growth of plants.

"It would be great if there was a bigger boat..." Ding Yuan took a sip of coffee, then quickly shook his head, feeling that he was wishful thinking...

The Sea of ​​Clouds is already very large. With the strength of human science and technology, it is really difficult to build a larger ship.

Looking down at the entire refuge from the top floor of the central building, the lush plants, the crowds coming and going, the sense of accomplishment is quite great, as if all the hard work in the past was worth it.

Ding Yuan recalled the prophet "Number Zero" at the headquarters, and also recalled his colleagues in other shelters, feeling a little nostalgic for some reason.

He didn't know how these compatriots were doing, whether they were still alive or not, and whether they would have a chance to meet again in the future.

Thinking of this, he sighed lightly again...

……

The happy time is always short, and the five-day long holiday will soon pass.

After the relaxation, all the work was on track again, those who went to work, the research of the research, the transport ship continued to move towards the distance, extracting the white mist and extracting a new round of X elements.

There was even a small group of experts who proposed that they could go deep into that continent again and capture some monster specimens for experimental research.After absorbing a large amount of white mist, many mutant species were produced, which also brought new scientific research projects.

For example, the acid sprayed by the eyeball monster is very useful, and it is widely used in industrial production to alleviate it. It can replace hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in many scenarios.

Ever since biotechnology took a big step forward, making organ cloning a real possibility, biologists are figuring out how to clone the eyeball monster's glands to mass-produce the acid.

Another example is the core of the scorpion monster, which is a very efficient energy source!

The monster's core can be used to make a battery, and it will not be a problem to discharge it stably for 100 years.This is already comparable to the most advanced radioisotope battery of human beings, and even more advanced, because its volume can be made very small, stable and efficient, and easy to store.Relatively speaking, radioisotope batteries are relatively large in size, and are not as safe as core batteries.

If tens of thousands of core batteries can be obtained and connected in series, it is equivalent to doubling the available energy of the Yunhai!

But before these bold plans could be implemented, several superpower investigators who returned from their trip reported a frightening news, which made the senior management of the Sea of ​​Clouds have to make a choice as soon as possible——

Leave this continent!

"Everyone! This is not alarmist talk!"

"I think it's time for us to leave this continent."

"According to the report of the scouts who went out, a creature the size of a mountain appeared near the coastline! Since the surrounding white fog was almost wiped out by us, the visibility of the air has been greatly improved, and it has a high probability of finding us."
