The day's work is over.

Xu Ting left her job in a state of uncertainty and followed her muscle memory towards home.

Artificial uterus...

Social care...

The words in her colleague's mouth kept circling in her mind, constantly stimulating her nerves.

Will this be true?

If it is true, will she try it?

One question after another kept popping up in her heart.

Before she knew it, she had arrived at her door.

The camera in front of the door is automatically turned on, and the home smart housekeeper has started the recognition program.

After a brief wait.

“Welcome home.”

A familiar and stiff electronic synthesizer sounded in Xu Ting's ears, and the door in front of her opened.

"Back?" A thick male voice came from it, "I'm so exhausted. I don't know what the Academy of Sciences has been trying to do recently. I have been transporting materials to the synchronous track these days."

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has his heart.

Xu Ting was slightly stunned, and the "gifts" that her colleagues said appeared in her mind again.

"Artificial uterus..."

She stood in a daze at the door of her house and muttered to herself.

Qi Yang, who had not heard his wife's response for a long time, frowned and walked out of the inner room.

Seeing his wife standing at the door of the house, muttering something, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"

When Xu Ting heard her husband's question, she suddenly came to her senses.

She raised her head, looked at the man standing in front of her, calmed down, and talked about what she saw when she was at work today.

...

More than ten minutes later.

In the living room.

Qi Yang sat on the sofa and looked at his wife beside him thoughtfully: "What do you mean is that Renlian wants to let go of the technology of artificial uterus?"

"No wonder the transport ships have been transporting resources to the three large space stations on the synchronous track during this period..."

"It seems that there will be relevant reports in the past few days." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"Then... do we want to try?" Xu Ting looked at her husband and said hesitantly, "With the nature of our work, we can definitely pass the qualification review."

Hearing this, Qi Yang fell into deep thought.

Even though they are both born in the new generation of Proxima Centauri, it is still difficult to make up their minds about such advanced fertility concepts.

After a long silence, Qi Yang nodded silently.

"if……"

"Just give it a try."

...

One month later.

The School of Social Sciences, Sociology Branch.

Today is the first and most important day for the formal beginning of the reform of the social public maintenance system.

Therefore, in addition to Lv Yongchang, even Fang Xu and others came to the Sociology Branch.

In order to reduce the turmoil and adverse effects caused by the restructuring process as much as possible, the restructuring is divided into several stages, and the restructuring time is extended to hundreds of years.

The first step in the reform of the social public care system is naturally to introduce artificial uterus and agency care systems.

And what impact will this move have?

Everyone present may not be able to draw an accurate conclusion.

Therefore, even Lu Yongchang's eyes were filled with a little uneasiness.

"professor!"

"Someone signed up!"

A cheer of joy came from the side.

The next second, a registration form that was extremely detailed appeared in the holographic projection in front of everyone.

"Qi Yang, Xu Ting..."

Lu Yongchang murmured to himself as he looked at the names of both husband and wife at the top of the registration form.

His eyes swept down quickly, skipping all the information in the middle.

At the bottom of the registration form is a line of fluorescent green text.

[Qualifications have been approved]

This is an annotation from zero.

In order to ensure that there are no omissions in the qualification review process, Zero will mobilize all relevant data at the moment of uploading the registration form and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the past experience of the applicant.

Only by passing the zero review can the registered couple get the opportunity to use the artificial uterus.

Lu Yongchang looked at the lower right corner of the registration form.

There is an option that is highlighted.

【Whether social support services are needed】

In a sense, social support services are the real test of the social public support system by the Sociology Branch of the Academy of Sciences.

On this registration form, an extremely obvious tick is before the option [Yes].

A hint of joy appeared in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

Although this is the first sample and the only one at present, this option still brings some peace of mind to everyone.

At least, some people have accepted the concept of social support.

“Second application!”

"The third part..."

One after another, one sound after another came from the surroundings.

On the huge holographic projection in front of you, the number of application forms began to increase rapidly.

...

"Professor, the quota is gone!"

A researcher in a white coat rushed over from the side and said anxiously: "At present, many citizens have left messages on the official website, hoping to release more experimental places."

"Ten thousand places are gone?"

Before Lu Yongchang could speak, Fang Xu, who was beside him, was already shouting in surprise: "How long has it been?"

"2 hours, 36 minutes, 43 seconds." The electronic synthesizer sounded just right.

When he heard these numbers, even Lu Yongchang had a little surprise in his eyes.

"How much need is there at present?" Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and asked.

"There are still 36,410 unaudited returns. It is conservatively estimated that the number of potentially interested people will be more than 100,000." The researcher in a white coat said in a hurry.

"One hundred thousand..."

Lu Yongchang frowned and thought carefully for a while.

then,

He shook his head slowly and firmly.

"No, the first batch of places is only 10,000."

“No more.”

"Why?" Fang Xu wanted to speak but stopped. After several times of struggling back and forth, he still asked, "Isn't it a good thing to have too many people?"

"They can quickly advance the reform of the social public maintenance system!"

"Why should we limit the quota?"

Lu Yongchang sighed slightly: "Of course I also want to quickly advance the reform of the social public maintenance system."

"But... Proxima B's lesson is right in front of you."

"Havenness means failure."

“We can only move forward step by step on the basis of uncertainty about whether it will cause disgust among the rest of the citizens.”

"In the next few years, fixed quotas will be released one after another."

"Remember, the number of places for artificial uterus and surrogacy must not exceed the number of deaths in the Human Resources."

"Okay." The head of the Sociology Branch nodded with a serious expression, "In addition to insufficient quotas, there is another phenomenon that you should be interested in, Professor."

As he said that, the person in charge reached out and dragged a holographic image.

“Statistics show.”
