I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

20 years, 1 million people.

The first phase goal is to restore the global population to 20. It will officially begin after the proposal is passed and will last for two years, and will be completed the year after next, which is the fourth year of the new era.

The second phase goal is to restore the population to 100 million, which will take 3 years and is planned to be completed in the 7th year of the new era.

At the same time, the restoration of a former port city more than 100 kilometers away from Raccoon City will be completed simultaneously, and new residents will gradually move to the new city to live.

The third phase targets 1000 million people and will last for 6 years, and is scheduled to be completed in the 13th year of the new era.

The additional 900 million people will be dispersed to live in nine new cities, namely East Asia City, South Asia City, West Asia City, Eastern Europe City, Western Europe City, North Africa City, South Africa City, South America City and Australia City, occupying and recovering the main territories of humans in the old era.

The fourth phase targets 1 million people and will last for 10 years, and is scheduled to be completed in the 23rd year of the new era.

During these 10 years, the use of cloning technology and digital life technology will be gradually reduced, and we will gradually transition back to relying on natural human reproduction to restore the population.

Of course, by maintaining a population policy of having more children and supporting assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial wombs, the global population will continue to grow rapidly after the plan ends.

The ultimate goal is to restore the global population to its peak levels of the old days and prepare for interstellar expansion and migration.

The "Human Civilization Centennial Plan" subsequently proposed by the new government clearly stated that the world's population will strive to return to the 50 billion level within 10 years. The construction of the lunar base and Mars base will be completed 100 years before the new era, and lunar and Mars immigration will be realized, officially opening the era of human civilization in the stars and the sea.

From now on, humans no longer need to worry about living space and resources and fight among themselves. The competition will be transferred beyond the earth, to the boundless sea of ​​stars, truly opening up a brilliant and prosperous era for human civilization.

The proposal put forward by Zhang Hong completely ignited public opinion.

Even after the people were enlightened and after preliminary preparations such as memory transfer and reunion plans had been made, it still caused a huge mental shock to the citizens.

"Humanity is doomed! The clones are taking over the Earth!"

"Will there still be pure natural humans on Earth in the future?"

All kinds of pessimistic views are flying around on the Internet.

"There is no such thing as a hibernation program! You are all clones!"

Those who spread opinions that were not conducive to the harmonious integration of new citizens into society were arrested and punished with solitary confinement. Those with serious offenses were even subjected to secret brainwashing treatment.

Faced with the voices of opposition, Zhang Hong, who has always been approachable, kind and reasonable, showed his iron side.

We decisively adopted an iron-fisted policy to suppress all inappropriate voices that were not conducive to unity.

The revival of human civilization cannot be blocked by a bunch of old-fashioned people like you who can’t keep up with the times!

"Red Queen, control the Internet. I want public opinion to be firmly controlled in a direction that is absolutely conducive to the population restoration proposal!"

[Please rest assured, Mr. President. According to real public opinion surveys, 68% of citizens currently support the proposal, 23% are neutral, and only 9% are opposed. ]

"I cannot have more than 1% of the votes against it."

【Understood. Everything is for the sake of human civilization.】

Therefore, during the past few days of the Universal Humanity Conference, various voices appeared on the Internet, all of which supported or understood the proposal.

Some articles that seem to be opposing, turn out to be openly opposing but secretly supporting, with high-level red and low-level black, unconsciously guiding people's cognition.

"John, some people on the Internet say that we are all clones. Is this true?"

Jenny Wick read the comments online and worriedly told her husband.

Old John said without hesitation: "Bullshit! How could you be clones? Those people are afraid that the new policy will squeeze out their power and benefits, so they are talking nonsense and stirring up trouble."

"The Commander has explained it to you. You were awakened through the hibernation program, using cloning technology, and you are the martyrs who sacrificed their lives. You are different."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if cloning technology is used, so what? Isn't it still the original personality, thoughts, and DNA? What's wrong with inheriting the excellent genes and thoughts of our ancestors? I really don't understand what these people are opposing!"

Old John gritted his teeth and was even a little furious.

He is a staunch supporter of the New Deal. He will not let those opponents destroy his happy life now.

In the past week, he had gained a hundred times more happiness and joy than he had experienced during the catastrophe in the past few years combined.

How could he refuse change!

Moreover, after the new proposal is passed, James, Porter and some of his good friends will be able to return to the world naturally. Why not do it?

Old John even maliciously speculated that those opponents must be people who did not participate in the reunion plan and were a group of super stubborn old people who resisted new technologies.

Humph. Why do these very few people override the interests of the vast majority of people?

Do you still think this is still the old days of rainbow-colored political correctness?

Stop kidding me!

In fact, the opponents are indeed very few.

Despite propaganda and ideological work, the ideas of this small group of people have never changed, and they have even tried to stir up trouble through marches and demonstrations.

This group of people are mainly the remnants of the white left and extreme right from the old era...

In order to commend their courage, Zhang Hong generously rewarded them with prison food.

These people who were deprived of a large number of civil rights only realized after becoming prisoners that having enough food and personal freedom are the most important things.

What's the point of the political correctness movement? Now, there's nothing.

They regretted their actions so much that they cried and yelled in prison. It was no use picking up soap every day.

The starting point is three years, no negotiation.

Anyway, the Human Republic doesn't lack this little bit of inferior labor right now.

In this atmosphere of fierce clashes of ideas and concepts, under official guidance, the citizens of the Republic of Mankind gradually reached a consensus.

During the voting on the proposal at the General Assembly of All Mankind, the population restoration plan was passed with a high approval rate of 99.8%, with only 5 votes against and the rest abstentions.

At this point, Zhang Hong's plan to quickly restore the population in a short period of time, which he had been planning for a long time, was finally fully implemented.

In the following six months, the resurrected people who had previously participated in the reunion plan walked out of the incubation cabin in batches and integrated into Republic City as new citizens.

The first batch of "Reborn" who were cultivated purely by digital life technology and cloning technology were also put into large-scale cultivation in cloning factories.

To this end, Zhang Hong had already prepared equipment that could train 10 people at a time. The number of reborn people in the first phase was tentatively set at 5.

In addition, there are 5 test-tube babies cultivated using reproductive cell banks left by previous humans, conceived with the help of artificial uterus technology. By then, these 5 people will be evenly distributed among existing citizen families for adoption.

These test-tube babies are no different from people who give birth naturally in a physiological sense. They just free up the uterus of women, allowing adults of childbearing age to give birth to multiple offspring at the same time.

Citizens of Republic City can also apply to use this technology to help them give birth to children, so that mothers do not have to endure the pain of ten months of pregnancy or can give birth to several children a year, greatly improving human fertility.

As the new citizens of the Reunion Project and the new humans born from the Population Restoration Project integrated into Republic City, the purely human descendants who survived the Cataclysm have fully accepted the existence of the new citizens and the breeding method of "artificial humans".

After all, apart from the different ways they came into this world, these "artificial humans" are actually no different from real humans.

Humans are rational creatures, but more importantly, they are emotional creatures, and have superb adaptability and acceptance abilities. This is the instinct that has enabled the human race to survive for millions of years.

Only a year has passed, and all the dissenting and discordant voices have disappeared.

The human republic became united in thought, flourishing, and trotting forward in an orderly manner.

In the third year of the new era, at the third Universal Humanity Conference, Zhang Hong announced his resignation as the leader of the Human Republic.

He recommended Alicia, Alice and a capable official who was promoted later, Zhao Jianguo, as the three candidates for the new leader.

"The new era ultimately belongs to humans. I am not a human from this world, and the power to govern the world should naturally return to the hands of humans themselves."

"Now that the Human Republic is on the right track and thriving, there is no need for me to personally steer the ship. I can retire with peace of mind."

This is how Zhang Hong explained the reason for his resignation.

When this news came out, the whole nation wailed.

But Zhang Hong was determined to leave, and no one could influence his decision. In the end, everyone could only reluctantly accept the fact that the founder and first commander of the Human Republic had stepped down.

To Zhang Hong's surprise, the winner of the election for the second leader of the Human Republic was not the extremely popular Alicia sisters, but the little-known and honest Zhao Jianguo.

In comparison, Zhang Hong could only think of one reason.

Maybe everyone is already used to the leaders on the big screen having an Oriental face who speaks Chinese?
