The proportion is not low.
However, this group of people hasn’t caused too much trouble for the World Government.
Because, basically, the waste in the social system has been semi-eliminated through natural cultivation, with almost no social rights or resource allocation rights.
In 2245, the World Government launched the Happiness Plan, which offered a relatively reasonable choice for these opponents.
Two of the five continents on Earth were set aside for these people to live in.
On Mars and Venus, dozens of interconnected large-scale Happiness living areas were also constructed, capable of accommodating a total of one billion people.
In these areas, food and drink are provided, network services are full, and you can play as much as you want.
The powerful leadership provided enough basic material conditions for the lazy.
Only three rights were cut off.
First, the free use of external incubators that can replace human pregnancy.
Second, the right to use multi-functional quantum intelligent robots that can replace more than 90% of parental care workload.
These two technologies have greatly reduced the difficulty of raising offspring for new humans, turning a time-consuming and long-lasting project into a small matter that can be easily achieved as long as you want to do it.
However, those participating in the Happiness Plan will lose the conveniences brought by these two technologies.
The reason given by the World Government sounds ruthless.
These two conveniences consume a lot of resources and come at a heavy cost. Since you don’t create resources, naturally you’re not entitled to enjoy them.
You want to raise offspring? Fine, you give birth and raise them yourself. Basic education, food, housing, and transportation conditions will still be provided, but you will have to bear the burden yourself.
The third right is a bit hurtful.
Legislation prohibits the marriage between Happy and non-Happy people. They can only marry within Happy people, commonly known as trash can only partner with trash.
At first, many Happiness people strongly opposed these three harsh and discriminatory measures.
Even the World Government itself was divided, arguing that this would weaken genetic diversity.
However, in the final vote, these three rules were forcefully implemented.
If you want something, you have to create it.
If you are a Happy person and truly care about someone non-Happy, if you really love them, then please put down your laziness and try to do something meaningful, even if it’s just passing the elementary education assessment and becoming a worker on an assembly line who can handle information monitoring in a fully automated workshop.
The path forward is always open to you, never closed.
The key has always been in your hands, and the opportunity to change your destiny is only a thought away, depending on which door you want to open.
In 2343, the Happiness Plan was terminated.
During these nearly 100 years, the internal social structure of the Happiness Plan experienced two generations of difficult reproduction, first entering an aging society, and then losing a large population.
Here, about 2 billion people evaporated.
However, the total human population in the Solar System did not decrease, but rather increased from more than 20 billion to 40 billion. Genetic diversity was not affected by the Happiness Plan.
Now, the concept has been unified again.
Since 2351, the first 20-kilometer-long Striver No.1, capable of accommodating 30,000 passengers and equipped with a medium-propulsion engine that could reach one-third the speed of light, powered by biological batteries, biological membrane light wings, and controllable nuclear fusion, departed from Neptune’s orbit and headed for the outer Solar System.
According to the original plan, Striver No.1 will reach the Proxima Centauri System in sixteen years and settle on Proxima Centauri b.
In the next ten years, Striver No.2, No.3, and up to No.11 successively set sail in different directions.
In 2367, the First Generation Dyson Membrane completed its growth and started to provide energy.
For the next thirty years, New Strivers, capable of accommodating 100,000 people, set off at an average rate of more than ten per year.
In 2401, the Dyson Membrane evolved, equipped with a new type of Pseudo-Curvature Engine that could reach 0.99 times the speed of light and carry 300,000 people. The Ultra New Striver series set off again, with hundreds of ships per year.
Compared to the previous two different versions of Strivers, the Ultra New Striver was equipped with more advanced and stable shield systems, and was also modular so it could be disassembled and reassembled at any time, making it more survivable.
Time moved forward to 2490, and at this point, humanity completed the divide, moving towards different branching paths.
According to statistics, during these 139 years, more than 50,000 Striver spaceships were sent out of the Solar System by humans, with a total of more than 150 billion people.
In 2343, there were more than 450 billion people in the Solar System, and by 2490, the total population had slightly declined to 370 billion people.
At this point, with human productivity, and with the help of the Third Generation Dyson Membrane, it was possible to evacuate the entire Solar System within the last ten years.
At this time, the Salvation Association, which had always been unified in opinion, finally had a serious split.
Some people believed that everyone should leave. Since it was certain that the Solar System would be targeted, it would be better to completely fragment the entire civilization and abandon the Homeworld.
Others believed that since the opposing Compound Eye Civilization is the ruler of the Milky Way, humans can’t even leave the Orion Arm, let alone escape the Milky Way Galaxy. Therefore, there is no essential difference between escaping and not escaping.
Giving up the Solar System and going to other colonies would mean that, even if everything could be rebuilt in another colony, mankind would lose something very important.
That would be the naturally formed ecological environment on Earth.
After more than a hundred years of colonial construction, human footprints spread across thousands of star systems near the Solar System, and numerous planets have been transformed. However, artificially transformed planets, even with human-introduced biological systems, have never formed a complex, comprehensive, and self-consistent perfect ecology like on Earth.
