I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Lu Tiantian's words actually contained a bit of selfishness.

He wanted to completely eliminate "Natural Persons."

He wanted to fundamentally change societal concepts and eradicate the roots of "Natural Persons." Only in this way could he completely eliminate implicit discrimination.

It seemed that in order to persuade Lu Yuan, Lu Tiantian presented some compelling statistical data, "The main force of reproduction is still the original first generation. A couple having four or five children more or less completes the task. They cannot reproduce indefinitely."

"The mismatch between extended life spans and ideology is the main reason for the current low birth rate."

"In the Mandala Empire, there is no such contradiction, but it actually exists here."

The Mandala Empire, as a feudal society,

a powerful individual could marry many wives.

A three-hundred-year-old man could still marry an eighteen-year-old.

So, the birth rate is sustainable.

But human society can't do this. The monogamy system, coupled with significantly increased life spans, results in a very low marriage rate.

Young people would rather play for an extra hundred years and make themselves stronger.

Everyone has different aptitudes for cultivation. If their partner can't keep up with their pace, isn't it a trouble for themselves to grow old and die?

Therefore, starting from the second generation, the birth rate has significantly decreased.

This is also true. People like Lu Yuan are lucky to find a life-partner with a matching lifespan... if he finds a girl who dies in five hundred years, he'd rather remain alone. After all, while I'm still young, you would have already aged; it's truly a cruel scene.

Now, it's basically middle-aged couples who haven't realized the change and continue reproducing.

However, the popularity of new culture has become inevitable.

Lu Tiantian continued, "Sky City's suitable population is about 200,000. If one thousand people are born each year, we need a hundred years to reach this number."

"And as long as we find deposits of Pandora Crystal Stone, cities can continue to expand. The Green Grass Civilization once reached a population of one billion. Even if we aim for less, we should still expand to fifty million, right?"

"And if we don't support them socially, how long will it take to reach this population?"

"Now that this model has been developed and we find it quite good, it would be a pity to discard it. We can donate reproductive cells, and I believe our classmates are quite willing to cultivate the next generation."

"Of course, that group of people who want natural childbirth, that's also fine. Just like how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people exist but are not the mainstream of society. Those who want to have children naturally can still do so."

Lu Yuan fell silent. He seemed unable to refute.

Lu Tiantian's mind was full of brilliant ideas, and now he had a chance to show them, he couldn't help saying, "Additionally, I suggest that we return to Rize Civilization and visit the ruins of Sky City."

"We could spend some time digging out the city's Pandora Crystal Stones in preparation for future city expansion."

"Raise a million children a year, and quickly break through a billion."

"No, no!" Lu Yuan hastily shook his head. This guy was too crazy, he whispered, "It costs money! Raising you all is expensive. With more people, resources won't be enough to go around..." Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire

"Plus, the Yingyu tree is aging and can't provide the computational power for such a large virtual world."

He exhausted the resources he collected from Meida Civilization in the past twenty-plus years: hundreds of pomegranate fruits, honey, royal jelly, extraordinary corn, all gone!

The fruits of the Tree of Life that ripened each year, except for those reserved for conches, were all given to the children, and he himself used very little...

What reason did he have to feed more children?

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lu Yuan finally shook his head, "We need to think about this matter more."

"If you have any other opinions, feel free to share them."

Lu Tiantian swallowed his saliva, "I've been thinking about some of our current shortcomings."

"First, the scientific research system is quite chaotic, and the evaluation system is not robust enough. We must establish a scientific assessment system, otherwise, who contributes more or less will not have a rational judging mechanism and will ultimately evolve into a society based on personal connections."

Lu Yuan nodded. He only excelled in engraving and forging Extraordinary Items.

Conch was slightly more proficient, a jack of all trades.

However, in the foreseeable future, disciplines would continue to become more specialized, and it wasn't possible for one person to master all knowledge.

Thus, a robust scientific system is essential for the future.

"Second, the media system is messy. We still rely on newspapers and broadcasts for propaganda. We should at least have a television to meet modern propaganda needs."

"We need to get televisions soon."

Human 18 civilization was indeed very advanced, such as virtual worlds like Green Grass Paradise.

But the use of the virtual world consumes Yingyu tree's Ideal Energy.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was economical and had not fully opened it to the public.

Without television, something still feels missing.

"Third, the financial system is chaotic. I found our currency system to be a mess; the price of grain was fixed—no idea whose bizarre idea that was."

Lu Yuan turned pale; it was I who proposed it.

"Our economic growth far exceeds the increase in food production capacity. If the currency is anchored to food, it's easy to lead to market deflation due to a lack of sufficient currency."

This too is a reality, say, for a project budgeted at ten billion, but the annual value of food is only one billion.

Lack of currency will hinder development.

"Fourth, the system for student rewards and punishments is not robust enough. I think after graduating from school, some basic benefits should be provided, and afterwards, everyone should rely on their own capabilities."
