The year 2050 is fast approaching

The year 2050 is fast approaching. The world's population pressure has become more serious, bringing about a large number of survival and social problems such as land, water, food, other resources, housing, transportation, and security, and the earth is on the brink of collapse.

At this time, a major scientific project code-named NS-1, chaired by Academician Xu of the Academy of Engineering, was completed. As if the life drowned in the waves saw Noah's Ark, the ice sea sinking ship saw the mast at sea level, human beings are full of hope for the world again.

Academician Xu believes that the size of the earth cannot be changed, but the human body can be shrunk.

Their relationship is inversely proportional, the human body shrinks several times, and it is the same as the expansion of the Earth by the same number of times. After more than 40 years of research, he found the control code from human genetics, as long as the chromosomes are in a certain order and ploidy combination, the human body size can be decided at will. It was even so convenient that it changed immediately with a single injection. Based on the principle of experimenting first and popularizing later, as early as 10 years ago, Professor Xu collected hundreds of volunteers and set up a secret base on an isolated island in the East China Sea.

When a group of top experts from all over the country stepped on the island, they were immediately shocked by the sight before their eyes: a small island with red flowers and green willows, a group of 20 cm tall little people working on the farmland or in the staggering city.

It was the corn harvest season, and several small people worked together to cut, first, one person climbed up, tied a rope buckle in the middle, the bottom with an axe against the side to cut deep marks, and then someone shouted: "Downwind down! Several people held the rope together with a tug, and the huge corn plant fell to the ground, followed by the little people cheering.

We also observed the little people's homes: most of them are bungalows, the traditional courtyard style dominates, each household covers an area of about 4 square meters, the size of the house is like a chicken coop in the country of adults, but the little people living and walking is very spacious.

It was time to eat. The family gathered around to eat and talk.

Dad said, "Our village's Zhao Yi is something, he went to shoot the sun in the morning but shot down a huge bird, and every family in the village got a piece of meat." The visitors to the adult country knew that it was a crow.

Mom said, "Zhou Di is not bad either, he killed a dragon!" The adults also knew that it was a 5-pound catfish.

The son said, "The county's head of Wu killed a tiger with his bare hands, and the storyteller sang about it!" The adults knew that it was a mouse! A few peeks into the bedroom, bedding such as handkerchiefs and masks.

Just so frugal, low-carbon, why depletion of resources, and environmental pollution?

Scientists are beyond excited: "Academician Xu, you have brought hope and gospel to mankind!"

"According to this idea, not to mention the population of 10 billion, even 20 billion or 100 billion, we are not afraid, but only to make the human race smaller, as big as a grasshopper, as big as an ant, or even as big as a bacteria.

Professor Xu's results have attracted the attention of the relevant departments, which have decided to implement a universal evaluation and feasibility study.

The eyes of the masses are discerning, and once the study was conducted, the problem came up: to implement the miniaturization of human beings, the whole world must act simultaneously. If not, the two countries have disputes and wars, we look at others like a mountain, they can trample us several times with one foot. Even if there is no war, international relations can not be carried out, and others negotiate, they have to put us in the hands of talk. Export also can not, our shoes can only be set on the fingernails of others, others we have to use as a ship. Also, how to study abroad as a returnee, and how to marry a foreign girl?

Hearing these discussions, Professor Xu fainted. Coincidentally, there is an annual meeting of the world's population, Professor Xu read the paper, and the venue broke out in thunderous applause. But when it comes to synchronized action around the world, all countries are against it.

A country said: we are a country of immigrants, a collection of five continents, four oceans of human races, through the intermingling and genetic, the existing human race both intelligence and physical are the best, other than that, just say NBA it, the long body, the athletic movement has always been our pride. Become a small person, how to see the league?

R country said: our country is vast, simply did not feel the pressure of population, the future of global warming, there will be a large area of permafrost to melt, the population is not enough to use it!

Country J says: Although our country is densely populated, it has been growing negatively in recent years, and if we give it time, we will shrink as a nation. Furthermore, we have always been ashamed of being short, and once proposed: the country moves forward, the head grows an inch. How can we do the opposite and become small people?

Professor Xu suddenly realized that not only the problem of synchronization of human beings but also various animals and plants should be synchronized. Otherwise, mules, horses, cows, and sheep have become dinosaurs in the eyes of the people. It is a small fly, that will also become a fighter in the country of small people. There is also that adult country with the house ah, car ah, household appliances ah, and all the splendor created by modern civilization all have to be destroyed to start over, which is not also a catastrophe.

The little people's country plan was eventually aborted. Seeing his decades of research into the flow, frustrated to the extreme, Professor Xu's pain, simply to his ass fend off a needle, turned into a small person, and ran to the island of peach blossoms to live in seclusion.
