Many people did not know the meaning of raising a descendant.
Sometimes, it was for the continuation of genes, or for the protection of the future, or for the responsibility of society …
All of these seemed insignificant at this moment.
However, many people were still tempted.
This temptation came from the emotional bond it brought.
A child that belonged to oneself, from the moment he or she was born, established an inseparable connection with oneself. Moreover, this connection was warm and rich. One could create the most intimate person from nothing. One could use all of one's love, all of one's expectations, and all of one's attention to build this connection, making one's short life more valuable.
This was even more so in this empty, despairing, and numb world.
Perhaps a child could become the savior of one's own self.
As such, people's response was even more fervent than Gu Yan and Reid had expected.
Moreover, this fervor had nothing to do with identity or status.
No matter if it was a farmer on a farm or a high-ranking official.
More and more people crazily flooded the website and sent out their applications.
In fact, during this period of time, people started to pay more and more attention.
This change had reached a level that everyone could feel.
The small farm that Reid had first arrived at was no exception.
After a busy day of work, the farm manager Nader received a crazy hug from the crowd.
"I passed! Nader, they agreed to our application! I'm going to have a child! "
This was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s or 50s, called Aisa. At this moment, he kept screaming and hugging with all of his might, with tears and a huge smile on his face.
Behind him, his wife was also covering her mouth. She couldn't stop her tears, but they were tears of joy.
"Congratulations, Aisa!" Nader already knew what had happened, and he could completely understand Aisa's feelings. He hugged this employee tightly, feeling heartfelt joy for him.
"Party, we must have a party!" Aisa was still in a state of great excitement. "Call everyone here, I want to kill one, no, two chickens. I can't even imagine it. Nader, they really agreed to our application. Do you know what it says? To thank us for our 20 years of hard work! I'm completely dumbfounded! You know, I just don't like to be idle … "
Nader smiled as he looked at the speechless Aisa.
Elsa was famous for being hardworking on the farm.
Just as he said, he didn't like to be idle and was always busy.
Therefore, it was not surprising that he would receive such an evaluation.
After a while, Elsa finally recovered. At this time, the rest of the people in the farm also gathered. While they were happy for Elsa, some of them were also filled with curiosity.
"You said you received detailed information and procedures about this project?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
This person had also applied for the program with his wife.
To be honest, they were still very young, but in the current situation where even the adults had to starve, they really didn't dare to have children.
Ai Sa's face was still filled with excitement. He kept nodding and said, "That's right. The detailed information is written very clearly. Based on our age, it will directly collect our genetic information. Then, in ten to twenty years, we will use artificial breeding technology to raise our children. Most importantly! All the food I'm donating now, including my contributions, will be inherited by my child! "
When he said the last sentence, his eyes shone with joy.
Because of Nelly, the entire farm was very supportive of the human nirvana project.
In fact, Elsa had also donated quite a lot of things.
He originally thought that this was just a contribution to the future of human civilization, but he didn't expect that it would actually help his child!
Elsa even had the urge to donate all of her food to the charity!
The rest of the people looked at each other.
"As expected." Nader suddenly sighed. "It's still for the human nirvana project. Seems like the pressure of this project is still quite high."
"What does it matter!" Elsa didn't care. His voice was trembling. "I've even thought of the child's name. We just need to wait for twenty years, and maybe we will have the chance to see him with our own eyes. I hope he can be proud of this useless father of mine, and not blame me … Nader, I've never been like this before. I hope so passionately that the human race can be reborn. That's the world my child will live in!"
In the past, the human nirvana project only represented a hope for the future for people like Elsa.
Perhaps it also represented a part of the responsibility of being a human.
So he donated, but it wasn't a lot, and it wasn't considered as using up all his power.
However, it was completely different now.
Now, this project was not only related to the future of the entire human civilization, but also the future of his child! In a dozen years, his child would be born. He would know and remember everything about him, his name, his personality, and even see the image he left behind.
Perhaps, he would even talk about him with his friends, showing off his father, his mother …
Just thinking about that scene, Elsa's heart was filled with great joy and another kind of sadness.
He wished so much that he could accompany his child and watch his child grow up.
At this moment.
The rest of the people looked at Elsa, who was extremely happy but crying, with obvious envy in their eyes.
They had never felt such emotions in that gloomy world. They also knew very well that from this day onwards, Elsa would live with expectations for his child. Perhaps it would be more difficult, but his world would no longer be gloomy.
In the entire world, there were many people like Elsa.
Among the first batch of couples chosen by Reid and Gu Yan through artificial intelligence, most of them were older, had no children, and had relatively simple personalities.
Most people would be incomparably excited like this, and they would feel heartfelt anticipation.
This brought a huge change to their lives.
It would further affect the people around them.
In Gu Yan's words.
That was "one step closer to dispelling the despair that pervaded this world."
It would make them more passionate about the world, the future, and the entire civilization. This was the "healthy and positive" spiritual atmosphere that a civilization that continued to develop and prosper should have.
