Chapter 2007 – [I Was Just Trying to Raise the Birth Rate]
There are many complex factors involved in housing prices, so there is no specific reason for the skyrocketing prices. However, it was still true that even if the average person bought a house with a loan, it was a burden.
Climbing itself is okay. As inflation rises, house prices should also rise. But apart from that, it is a problem because it is rising too much.
There are ways in which the government can implement various policies or build houses and supply them at low prices, but they do not provide a fundamental solution. Some method is needed to solve skyrocketing housing prices.
“To solve the birth rate and housing price problems, we must first solve the problem of overcrowding in the metropolitan area. In the first place, if you look for housing, there are many places that are cheaper, but people are flocking to the metropolitan area in search of infrastructure.”
“Well, a person needs to have some spare time to have children.”
What was that? Even if you put a lot of rats in a small place, they won’t kill them because of the stress. Similarly, despite the high population density in Seoul, the relatively low birth rate may be due to overcrowding.
In the end, people are flocking together, causing the birth rate to drop and housing prices to rise. To solve this, a different approach was needed.
“Why do people flock to Seoul?”
“It has the most developed infrastructure, employment issues, and the title of living in the capital itself will have an impact.”
“What should we do to get people to go to the countryside?”
“Local regions must also develop infrastructure and similarly create quality jobs in local areas.”
“But to do that, you have to spend a lot of money even though it may be successful, right? I don’t like such idle talk. You’re just like a politician before the meteorite incident.”
I thought deeply.
Houses and residences in decent places in the provinces are much cheaper than those in Seoul. If you leave other issues aside, you can prepare for the future by simply buying a house in a rural area rather than in Seoul and saving with the extra money.
I can raise my child with that extra free time. One of the reasons for not having children in the first place is financial issues.
However, even if I live in a rural area, I want to enjoy the infrastructure of the metropolitan area. Then…
“Devil, isn’t it ultimately a matter of distance?”
“Huh?”
“We have space movement technology. Why not apply it?”
“No matter how much the electricity problem has been solved, isn’t it a bit difficult to use it for logistics or something like that? Even though we have made progress in this and that, Korea’s technological capabilities are still lacking.”
With the combo of the fragmented power plant built by Phantom and the Infinity Force Core ripped off due to the bigamy issue, Korea has become an energy powerhouse without worrying about electricity bills.
But apart from that, space movement technology uses electricity. Perhaps with further development, efficiency will improve by combining this ability and science, but it is still not enough to solve logistics and transportation problems by disseminating space movement technology.
What do you do if you have a lot of electricity generation? If you use more than that, the bottom will appear. As it is now, it is better to use it only for the moon base problem where it is cheaper to use a lot of electricity, but it is difficult to use it on Earth.
“So, let’s introduce it as a test for people first. I don’t think there will be a problem with housing prices if I can buy a house in the countryside and go to work in Seoul. What do you think?”
“It’s a good idea. We’ll have to coordinate this and that instead.”
If only people move, even if the efficiency is poor, it can be covered by the current amount of electricity generated, and various additional effects can occur. For example, even if a company’s headquarters is built near a space mobility terminal, it may be built in a location in an area you wouldn’t even think of.
The reason many companies flock to Seoul is that banks and other economic systems are concentrated there, so they can use that infrastructure. If distance restrictions were eliminated, wouldn’t there be a need to build headquarters or facilities in Seoul, where land is expensive?
This may not be the case for everyone, but even if only a few do this, overcrowding in Seoul will be reduced. As time passes and people become accustomed to it and think of space movement as at the level of public transportation, the effect will be even greater.
“Let’s make a plan first. I think this will be okay.”
“First, is there anything I have prepared separately regarding the space movement terminal? Let’s talk about it.”
Mary, who worked in the Magic Engineering District and specialized in space movement technology, must have thought something like this would happen someday, so she took out some prepared facility plans and policy-related materials.
Of course, there were some shortcomings because it was made sparingly, but it was a good enough draft. As I supplemented this and that with the help of other lovers and acquaintances, it was already the new year.
“I lose track of time while I’m working. I really have to go to the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk since my daughter gave birth at the beginning of the year.”
“Half-brother!!!! Little brother!!!!!”
“It seems like Eden really likes her younger brother.”
“I like my younger brother too!!!!! Now the youngest has escaped!!!!”
“Now that I think about it, Eve is the youngest, so having a younger sibling may be even more special. Eden is accompanying me just in case, but if it’s okay, Eve can go too. Oh, are you busy with your legal work?”
“It can be handled remotely anyway, so there is no problem.”
“Then that’s it.”
Eden, who can purify water and perform resuscitation procedures, accompanies you in case of emergency. Of course, when she goes to Ilwol Shinguk, she plans to bring the doctors from Delta Castle to help her give birth safely, but doesn’t she know?
Well, seeing as my intuition is not working, I think I will be able to give birth without any problems.
I later informed the Delta Castle doctors of Chunma’s due date. Then I heard that their representative and member of the 2nd generation of Delta Castle, Raijin Medical, was going in person, which was quite reassuring.
“Ah… Mr. Choiak. I have one thing to tell you.”
“Huh? What is it?”
“In addition to a little cooperation, I think we should provide separate life allowances to our medical staff going this time.”
“No, why the life allowance? It’s not like you’re going out to serve in the battlefield? And cooperation?”
I feel like there’s something strange about it. Why do you need my help, and why do you need the life allowance?
“The person named Cheonma Hyeokryeon-ye is a transcendental person, right? When a female transcendental person gives birth, there are often people who display their powers without permission during the pain of childbirth.”
“Uh…”
“Furthermore, there is a high possibility that she will be more sensitive to the pain of childbirth because her gender has changed from male to female. If this happens, we ask that you stop her.”
“I didn’t think of that. Okay, I’ll give you a life allowance as well.”
Although they are said to be residents of Delta Castle who are quite talented and have different specifications from ordinary people, they are like reeds that are easily broken in front of the transcendent. The Cheonma could have died from her swinging hand while struggling in pain while giving birth.
In the first place, a person who can endure that must be a transcendent person. Once I get there, I will have to put a force field on the doctors when Cheonma’s baby is born. ”
Anyway, in February, when the weather was still chilly, I went over to the Sun and Moon God Kingdom with my daughters and the Delta Castle doctors. Cheonma, who was pregnant with twins and much more pregnant than an average pregnant woman, welcomed us.
“Welcome. I was waiting.”
‘”No, what’s the point of a person with limited mobility? He goes in and waits.”
“I actually felt a bit sore from staying still. So, I tried to come out to see if that would be an excuse.”
“Cheonmama’s belly is huge!!!! Oh, there are two half-brothers here…”
“It is natural for twins to have a bloated stomach compared to other pregnant women, but this is almost like triplets.”
“Doctor. Oh, so our doctors also said that during the checkup. The child is much better than the average child.”
“Eden was like that too. Thanks to that, Zion, who was a firstborn, suffered a lot.”
“It’s not my fault… No, it’s my fault, isn’t it?”
“Then it’s sad for people who weren’t born there.”
Anyway, Cheonma is going to give birth soon. Thinking about that, I thought that I would take care of various things for him, so I came to visit him myself rather than intentionally inviting him to our place.
For a while, we relaxed and chatted as if we were on vacation. We had a lot of fun eating Ilwolsinguk cuisine and talking about social situations.
And I also talked about the situation in the future, not just now. He brought up the topic of reducing the gap between the provinces and the capital by trading with each other through a space movement device… But he looked shocked and confused whether the Heavenly Demon was more interested in that issue than me.
“What kind of crazy talk is that?”
“No, it’s not as strange a story as you might hear.”
“That’s because it’s a small country like the Korean peninsula. Even if it’s a personnel movement issue rather than a logistics movement issue, the problems that arise simply from people being able to come and go are enormous. To add a little bit of exaggeration, people living on the other side of the world are working in East Asia.”〈 Br〉
“We haven’t expanded to that level yet. It’s just Korea.”
“That alone will have a big impact… Well, it’s okay to think of it as a test. If you get used to it to some extent, I hope we can do it too.”
“What are you going to do?”
“By then, it will be after the baby is born, so how about serving in bed?”
“Huh, pillow-head song.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“It’s so fucking good.”
I was planning on doing it anyway, but it would be nice to receive the service of the Heavenly Demon. It’s a bit quick for Korma, but regardless, if it’s a one-on-one relationship, I can put enough affection and care into it, so I’m much better off this way.
After talking about many things, the Delta Castle doctors examine Cheonma and wait for her due date. Perhaps because Raijin Medical is a qualified person for Rager Medical, they prepared for childbirth by informing Cheonma of various useful issues before giving birth.
“Yes, moving the acupuncture point from this direction to this direction is a great way to reduce pain during childbirth. It is effective to start as soon as you start to feel labor pains.”
“It’s a unique method. Is it centered on the uterus rather than the Danjeon?”
“For transcendents, the effects of drugs, good or bad, are small. And if drugs are used to the extent that they work for transcendents, it will inevitably have a negative effect on the fetus, so they use this kind of supernatural means rather than drugs. Heavenly Demon is a transcendental of the unmanned system, so he uses psychic techniques. The effect will be great.”
Preparations are almost over. All that’s left is to wait for the due date.
Meanwhile, Eden and Eve stayed next to Cheonma for a while. The two people find it amazing that they can feel the twins’ movements in Cheonma’s tummy, which is full due to full-term pregnancy.
The following article: A pregnant woman’s swollen belly gives a sense of the mystery of life. It can be quite surprising when a baby sometimes reveals its presence by kicking or kicking.
“Oh… Will this happen to me someday when I get married and have children?”
“Uh huh!!!! Eden is going to live with her dad for the rest of her life!!!!!”
“Dad always says that.”
“Maybe it’s because I wasn’t born that way, but seeing that I’m pregnant feels really amazing.”
“Do I remember when I was in my mother’s womb? Ah, now that I think about it, I want to see a picture of her mother when she was pregnant.”
“Go home and look at it later. I’ll probably take a picture of it as a souvenir. I guess I’m curious about when you were in the womb, right?”
“But Dad, when Mom was pregnant, it was as if she was pregnant with her own child. Didn’t she say anything to those around her?”
“… No comment on that.”
And Cheonma’s birthdate arrived. She woke up feeling labor pains early in the morning and went straight to the delivery room with Raijin and other Delta Castle doctors. Of course, I will also attend after being disinfected.
She was trying to ease her pain by using the breathing techniques and breathing techniques she had learned for childbirth, but she frowned as she was in so much pain. I can feel her hand holding me shaking.
“It hurts more than I thought…”
“If you can talk, you have the freedom. If it starts to come out in earnest, it will hurt more, so make up your mind in advance.”
“I will endure it somehow.”
Although skilled doctors were on hand, Cheonma’s birth was quite difficult in many ways. Even though it was her first time giving birth and the babies were twins, there was an uproar due to Cheonma unconsciously putting effort into the pain of childbirth.
Have you ever heard of ritual murder? Once you reach a certain level of mastery, you can kill a person with just your momentum, but how amazing is the Heavenly Demon? Aside from the fact that I was tearing my body in pain, I had a hard time distracting the energy from the Heavenly Demon.
“You bad bastard!!!!!”
“Hold on just a little longer!!! I can see the child’s head!!!!”
“It’s not too late, do you want to have a cesarean section?!”
“I don’t like that!!!! In the first place… Ugh!!!!!”
I don’t know if she was just swearing because she was in pain, or if the fundamental reason for the pain was because of me, but Cheonma barely finished giving birth while cursing at me.
The two children who were born safely burst into tears to announce their presence to the world. Perhaps because they are good children, the sound of them crying is very loud.
“Aaaaa!!!!”
“Um !!!
Wash it in warm water and wrap it in a swaddle afterward. The children, probably exhausted after all the crying, soon calmed down and fell asleep.
Cheonma was exhausted from giving birth and looked for her child even though she was exhausted. So, I held her male and female twins in my arms so that she could see their sleeping faces.
“… It’s more wrinkled than I thought.”
“It’s because it came out from playing in the amniotic fluid in mom’s stomach. It will dry up after some time, and then it’ll be fine.”
“Giving birth to a child was painful enough to make me feel in awe of motherhood, but if there is such a reward, I don’t think it’s strange to have more than one child. I’ve just had one, so I feel like it’s okay to have one or two more.”
“It’s been less than an hour since you were swearing at me and making a fuss. But what are you talking about your younger brother?”
After examining various aspects of the child, Raijin finally informs the child of the test results. It goes without saying, but since they are the children of me and Cheonma, the twins are very healthy.
“Congratulations. The prince and princess are healthy. We’ve only had a simple test, but they’re very healthy with no problems.”
“Later, I will take the time to do a detailed examination to see if there are any problems…”
“You’re already upset. Let’s take it easy and start feeding them. The kids will be hungry.”
“Aren’t you feeding it?”
“I can feed them, but it’s better for mothers to feed their children’s colostrum. That’s also special in its own way.”
Normally, breast milk does not come out when you are pregnant, but only after giving birth. They say fiction ruins common sense.
Not long after giving birth, Cheonma also starts producing breast milk, and she holds the twins, one in each hand, and feeds them from both sides. It was a bit awkward because I wasn’t used to the posture, the experience of breastfeeding a baby, and other things.
“It’s an amazing feeling…”
“Those kids eat well. Are they hungry? No, even if that’s not the case, they eat really well.”
“Isn’t it better if you eat well?”
“That’s true, but the problem is that the mother’s milk comes out. When you grow older and your appetite increases, will you be able to handle it?”
“… Honestly, that seems a bit difficult.”
There is no particular relationship between breast size and amount of breast milk, but Cheonma does not seem to have a constitution that produces a lot of milk. In addition, we have two children, and they are excellent babies and eat well… Together, they make up to 1 Baby Eden!!!!
These guys are already extraordinary, really!!!!
