Chapter 383 Cooperation

Lu Yongchang's voice followed the microphone and the long-distance communication device and instantly spanned a distance of several light years, ringing in the ears of Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing like thunder!

then……

In the holographic image in front of Lu Yongchang, the two of them trembled violently, and then jumped up as if their buttocks were burned by fire!

"Fuck*2!"

Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing said in unison.

After the brief shock, Ren Feng quickly regained his composure.

"Wait, wait!" Ren Feng grabbed the frightened Zhang Zhengqing beside him and said in an uncertain tone, "It seems to be Professor Lu's voice?"

Ren Feng's words gradually calmed down Zhang Zhengqing's mood.

With some confusion in his eyes, he turned to look at the camera on the side.

Under his gaze, the camera panned left and right.

It looked... like a greeting.

At the same time, a holographic image slowly appeared.

Lu Yongchang appeared in front of the two people with helplessness and doubts written on his face.

"Lu, Professor Lu!" Zhang Zhengqing was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "Really, is it really you?!"

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang once again had a few black lines on his forehead: "Nonsense!"

"If it's not me, who else could it be?!"

"What are you two doing?"

"I thought you were wiped out by some passing civilization!"

Hearing this, Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing looked at each other, laughed and said, "Ahem... Professor Lu, I thought something happened to you..."

"Us?" Lu Yongchang was obviously stunned, "What happened to us?"

"A few days ago, we suddenly discovered that Ross 154 disappeared from the universe, so..." Zhang Zhengqing hurriedly explained.

Lu Yongchang's expression gradually became weird.

He scratched his head slightly embarrassed: "Ahem! This matter is actually my negligence."

"The situation was complicated at the time, so I didn't contact you."

"This whole thing has been forgotten."

As he spoke, he briefly explained Ross 154 and what happened after that.

[Painting] died, obtained two-dimensional fragments, Ross 154 was extinguished, the fleet set sail, and encountered the Rathore star pirate civilization...

Zhang Zhengqing was breathing rapidly, staring at the holographic image in front of him with his eyes wide open, for fear of missing some key information!

When he learned that the human fleet had captured a group of third-level starships, not only Zhang Zhengqing, but even Ren Feng couldn't help but exclaimed!

"God..."

Zhang Zhengqing's eyes were stunned and he murmured to himself: "This, this is too..."

While the Proxima Centauri civilization is still busy repairing various high-precision equipment, the human fleet is already sprinting towards the third-level civilization!

Although I know that there must be a gap between the two civilizations.

But such a huge gap is still difficult for Zhang Zhengqing to accept!

"What about you?"

Lu Yongchang's voice came from the holographic projection: "How has human civilization developed in Proxima Centauri in the past twenty-five years?"

Although he knew the answer to this question in his heart, there was still a hint of expectation in the depths of Lu Yongchang's eyes as he spoke.

Ren Feng said nothing, pursed his lips hard and then lowered his head.

Zhang Zhengqing sighed softly and said truthfully: "I encountered many difficulties, large and small."

Lu Yongchang did not express his position.

It's normal to encounter difficulties.

Not to mention the human civilization of Proxima Centauri, even the human fleet has encountered many difficulties.

"In terms of science and technology, the progress is quite smooth, and 40% of the science and technology system has been digested so far." Zhang Zhengqing said softly, "The number of academicians in the Academy of Sciences is also increasing."

Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly.

It sounds like it's going pretty well.

Without Zero's help, a group of ordinary people started from scratch and achieved this result, which was beyond Lu Yongchang's expectation!

"It's just..." Zhang Zhengqing sighed again, shook his head and said, "The fertility rate is constantly declining."

Lu Yongchang's face instantly became serious.

Fertility rate drops!

For interstellar civilization, this is a top priority!

"Is there any solution?" Lu Yongchang asked bluntly.

Ren Feng raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhengqing.

Both of them saw the hesitation in the other's eyes.

Zhang Zhengqing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

"We are ready to try the social welfare system!"

There was silence in the communication channel.

In the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang frowned slightly and stared at the two people quietly.

As for Zhang Zhengqing and Ren Feng, they naturally gritted their teeth and looked at Lu Yongchang to express their persistence.

"call……"

In the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang took a deep breath.

"Social welfare system, are you sure you want to adopt such an extreme plan?"

This time, before Zhang Zhengqing could speak, Ren Feng took the initiative to step forward, nodded and said, "Professor Lu, we have no way out."

Lu Yongchang fell into silence again.

He kept thinking about the feasibility of the plan in his mind.

The so-called social public support system is actually a disguised form of depriving humans of their reproductive rights and custody rights.

On the one hand, a sperm bank and an egg bank are established, and computers and artificial intelligence are used to perform analysis and calculations to match suitable sperm and eggs.

The paired fertilized eggs are then fertilized in an artificial uterus.

After ten months of "pregnancy", the newborn can be born smoothly.

There is no parental involvement in this.

Even the parents who contributed sperm and eggs don't know the existence of this child!

On the other hand.

The newborns will be raised by robots.

There is no parental involvement in the raising process.

When they reach adulthood and complete all basic education, they will enter society and complete their own work.

All the expenses in this process will be borne by the entire civilization.

It sounds ideal and perfect.

But the problems contained in it are extremely complicated.

Corresponding to the complicated problems are its huge advantages.

In a sense, the establishment of a social public care system is a sign that a civilization has entered the interstellar era!

However, such "heretical" behavior is bound to usher in countless criticisms, debates and resistance.

Lv Yongchang can even foresee how big a storm this plan will cause in Proxima b, which is several light years away!

He opened his mouth and wanted to dissuade him.

Before he said anything, he gave up his idea.

On the one hand, he is not the leader of the human civilization of Proxima Centauri and is not qualified to point fingers.

On the other hand, he also had some selfish motives.

Sooner or later.

The human fleet will also encounter such a problem.

Perhaps, by that time, the human civilization of Proxima Centauri can become their "mentor".

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang straightened his face and said seriously: "Since you are ready, then do it!"

"Zero can provide you with computing support!"
