traveler of time and space

At this time, Dr. A stood up and coughed slightly. After the entire conference room gradually fell silent, the doctor clapped his hands seriously and said, "We have indeed achieved some achievements during this time."

"But that's nothing to be proud of!"

"Gentlemen."

"Ladies."

Dr. A clapped his hands, and soon a huge steel city was projected in front of his eyes. Many people recognized it as Beidou at a glance. They didn't know that Dr. A had another information to share with you this time.

"Everyone, please look here."

The projected pictures began to change, and gradually locked in some communities in Beidou. They couldn't take pictures of too confidential places even if Nuwa interfered, but some obvious buildings were enough for the people present to see a lot.

"This... is this a school?..." An old man who was not in the middle grades pushed his glasses and hesitated.

"Yes." Dr. A nodded silently, expressing some seriousness: "There are already twelve schools like Beidou. And they are still expanding."

The screen is much closer.

With the rapid passage of time, the picture of the rising sun appeared on the above, and then groups of students began to do morning exercises. There are about 1 students in a school, ranging in age from 8 to 16 years old. These schools It seems to be a semi-closed military management, and the students can be seen in neat rows.

The screen changes again.

This time it became a close-up distance. There were about fifty or sixty students sitting in a spacious classroom, and everyone's expression was very serious. It seemed that this was taken by special personnel, and even the big characters on the blackboard could be seen.

——"Spring and Autumn and Warring States, pre-Qin and Han."

This seemed to be a history class, a class that was almost useless in the wasteland era, but all the students listened carefully, and there was a square [Chinese] character written in the very center of the blackboard.

The screen shifted to the playground.

Hundreds of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers could be seen receiving a certain degree of military training. Farther away was a closed shooting range, and there were two soldiers with guns standing at the door.

"A school like this can accommodate around [-] students."

Dr. A's tone was a bit heavy, and he said slowly: "As far as I know, Beidou's current resources are not abundant, and its manpower is not much better than ours. Although their heavy industry has recovered a lot, their light industry has not. It is simply not enough to meet the living needs of everyone.”

"In order for these children to be free from heavy physical labor, their parents must work at least 12 to 16 hours a day."

Speaking of this, Dr. A repeated again with a heavy voice: "everyday!"

"Can you imagine?"

"This city is like a steel machine at full throttle, and they are advancing at a speed we can't imagine."

Dr. A waved his hand lightly, and the screen immediately switched to a rather prosperous gathering place.

There are basically white faces inside, but most of them are adults. Then, in some workshops and factories, you can see many half-grown teenagers. They are working on the assembly line, and the screen starts to switch rapidly. In the weapon shop, In the bar, on the street, in the wilderness, the faces of many teenagers appeared, and finally they were frozen in a somewhat cold classroom.

There were a dozen or so people sitting in the empty classroom, and they could tell by their clothes that they were from a good family background, because in the wasteland era, ordinary people at the bottom could never afford to wear clean and tidy clothes.

"The chaebol group."

"Those capitalists, they are overdrawing our future..." Dr. A said in a low voice: "The birth rate of newborns is decreasing year by year, even if there are children born, lack of medical care, lack of food, lack of education, under the pressure of survival , they start working at an average age of 12."

"The education penetration rate is less than 12%, and the people who receive education are basically concentrated in the hands of those chaebols."

"This is where the general population gathers."

"A gathering place with a population of nearly 8 people has only one school, and there are less than 100 students in the school. Those who are eligible to enter the school are basically people from the water business group."

"Gentlemen."

"Ladies."

"Do you know what that means?"

"In at most three years, when the first batch of Beidou children who receive education grow up, we will open a bigger gap with them!"

Dr. A stood up, looked around, and said in a low tone: "Now do you still think our achievements are amazing?"

"We're not doing enough."

He raised his hand and pointed, the screen in front of him switched rapidly, and gathering places appeared one after another, and the faces of countless people flashed like a slide show. Dr. A slowly said: "Do you think the things you see in front of you are really relevant?" Can it save our civilization?"

"We're not genetics."

"Those lunatics only want to change this through DNA!"

"But we can't do that."

There was a dead silence in the meeting room.

Many people were lost in thought in Dr. A's words, and then a middle-aged woman said with some hesitation: "Are we going to popularize education?"

"Our current resources are completely insufficient, and we cannot afford to support so many children."

"Just to promote bionic transformation, we are already quite struggling."

Dr. A pushed the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly: "Our resources are indeed not enough. But why can't we hold more resources in the wasteland world in our own hands?"

"Water alone accounts for one-fifth of the average person's living expenses."

"What a ridiculous thing!"

"The water purification instrument seems to be just a trivial achievement in our laboratory, right? Its production cost is no more than that of an ordinary bionic prosthesis!"

"Even it has become a tool for those capitalists to amass wealth."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became awe-inspiring, and many people realized that Dr. A wanted to take advantage of some chaebol forces.

"But we have an agreement with them." A slightly younger scholar whispered.

The college has always received funding from the chaebol forces in the past, and in return they will hand over limited research results to those chaebol forces.

Dr. A narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the young scholar, then pointedly said: "It's time to make a change!"

The meeting ended quickly.

Dr. A sat alone in the empty conference room, as if he was thinking about something, he took a pen and gently wrote a line on the white paper.

——"Capital is greedy."

Then, Dr. A smiled, as if he was talking to himself, or to someone: "I am not a capitalist, I am just a scholar who pursues the truth."

A cold electronic voice sounded: "Doctor."

"You'd better not leave the institute during this time."
