His wife laughed and said a feords of praise before turning to her son "San Er, you've worked so hard to get this job posting, so you have to focus hard at work, okay? We are so proud of you This is wonderful news, co San suddenly felt his eyes red with tears He was reminded of the years he spent at school and that extra year he was forced to stay back His family wasn't that wealthy; his father was a sih the Hope provided healthcare for all its citizens, it was only for serious treatments; everyday supplements still needed money However, he knew that his mother never once spent money on those At the time, he was still a student, and his student stipend was barely enough to buy her any nutritious food Thinking about it made his heart twitch with sadness, but now that he had a job, one with good benefits, he swore to throw himself into work so that his parents could finally enjoy a co all over the Hope This was because the Hope's government had been forced to ration all provided resources fairly and not based on needs They were travelling in space, so their supplies were limited The fact that they could find a systeh, and allocating supplies according to needs was simply impossible This was especially true when the Hope was travelling long distances, when there ht even be limited supplies Under such conditions, most citizens on the Hope couldn't be considered rich, they were barely surviving
Further and there were only so many available job opportunities No matter how hard the Hall of Communications tried to specialize and delineate the job scope, it was iive jobs to several ten thousand people Lastly, reat physicist go clean up the streets, right? This was not only a waste, but also an insult on the faculty of knowledge!
Because of this, h-tech courses had to stay at school for years after their graduation and relied on governovern that they didn't feel any resentment was untrue It was simply that the resentment still hadn't reached a scale where it would explode
Lastly, there was another reason… the population number increase To be frank, the Hope had reached its rades After all, this ship was only h rades, the capacity had ih to fit the human population that had almost reach 400,000 people The Hope was too sone from Earth for almost 21 years, and as the ship that held humanity's life, future, hope… it was really too old and too ser any empty space left on the Hope, but even so, there were stillthree generations in one house was a common occurrence Many neere forced to stay with their parents Just think about it, the first batch of space babies was now 21 years old, some of them even already had their own children Therefore, the Hope had becorowth
The huovernment's officials of course knew about the i as the population number didn't reach a hundred million, then humanity was at risk of extinction Therefore, planned parenthood was technically a taboo on the Hope In fact, it was a sin by law to proovernment worker or representative mentioned planned parenthood at any public place, then they would need to find a new job as long as they survived the law
Therefore… it was not that humanity had the luxury of choice They had to stay at this solar system because they desperately needed to expand
That was the current situation the Hope was facing It had 400,000 people Minus the newborns and children, the rest were all adults In other words, there were about 300,000 adults, and that meant that there needed to be at least 150,000 job vacancies The Hope could provide about 50,000 job postings, the Barracks could cover yet another 30,000 job postings This meant that around 70,000 jobs vacancies were still needed, and the base on the Light Moon was perfect to fill that need There were , eet constructed, a new breath of life was inserted into the Hope
The first to notice this was not Yao Yuan and the government but the representatives Their constituents decided their direction, and in the latest House of Representatives hearing, there was a new vote that requested the huovernment to expand theand s bases, they requested a residential area to be built on the Light Moon They wanted the base to fit at least 500,000 people The supplies and h to build several Hopes, but at the sa to providethis proposal, Guang Zhen came with a new proposal for the expansion of huer than the representatives…
"What? The first huuardian ships that are one-fourth the size of the Hope, as well as 1,200 combat spaceships armed with space cannons…"
"Why don't you just kill et built even faster!"
Yao Yuan roared in the captain's rooh the Hope and into everyone's ears Everyone smiled helplessly and kindly…
Hope, future, they were up for grasp!
