The Eden Plan, an extensive social initiative enacted by the World Government through a resolution of the Upper Court Council, was promulgated across the entire territory.

In Dawn Year 92, influenced by factors such as the economy, war, and social policies, the trends of declining birthrates and aging populations worsened worldwide. The world’s fertility rate reached a turning point, with the population continuing to decrease.

To address the societal stagnation caused by population decline, the World Government collaborated with three major corporate giants to develop advanced artificial womb technology and passed the far-reaching Artificial Baby Act.

The act stipulates that under appropriate circumstances, the authorities of the World Government have the right to utilize the human reproductive cell repository to directly cultivate human embryos in artificial wombs.

From then on, the act of "reproduction," which determines the survival of a species, no longer depends on sexual relations but can be accomplished in a laboratory.

Don’t want to give birth?

No worries, the lab can create them.

Create as many as needed.

However, the passage of the Artificial Baby Act only solved the issue of reproduction, not that of upbringing.

Because these artificial babies are man-made products and lack "parents" in social relations, who will raise them after birth? How will they be nurtured? What will they do when they grow up?

We can’t just churn out a bunch of unruly people who, after growing up, do nothing and live off social welfare benefits as pests, right?

The subsequent Eden Plan was issued to address this problem.

In Dawn Year 104, the World Government constructed over a thousand large "Eden Gardens" across its territories.

The so-called Eden Garden is a closed management institution resembling a school, jointly invested and operated by the World Government and private capital, specifically designed to house and nurture those laboratory-born artificial babies.

Artificial babies will grow and live in the Eden Gardens, where educators will provide them food, lodging, education, and moral guidance.

Then, based on their different acquired abilities, they are distinguished and trained into various talents and, as adults, are allocated to different societal roles.

From the first cry of the artificial baby to adulthood at age 18 entering society, the entire upbringing process is completed by the Eden Garden.

Thus, the development of history completely separated from objective laws, and humanity took the fate of their species’ prosperity entirely into their own hands.

This is the Eden Plan, which had a profound impact on the Dawn Realm.

...

Venus Eden Garden, a garden located in the Anmi New District of New Moon City.

Before the traversal, Su Mo was very curious about this Eden Garden.

First of all, it is located in Anmi New District.

An Eden Garden built in the Rich People’s District, isolated from the outside world, naturally piques curiosity.

More importantly, today is December 6th, and tonight at 19:23, this Eden Garden will explode. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

In the literal sense, explode.

BOOM.

According to common sense, an explosion in the Eden Garden built in Anmi New District should be sensational news.

However, when Su Mo played the game "Dawn," he never saw any related news. He only knew about it because during a second playthrough, he happened to pass by and witnessed the explosion.

After the explosion, there was no report, no discussion, and no knowledge from the outside world, as if all traces of existence were deliberately erased.

Su Mo wanted to explore Venus Eden Garden, but in the game, players could not access it in any way.

He specifically asked the developer and was told – it hasn’t been opened yet.

"Dawn," as a beta game, has a complete main storyline, but some side lines were incomplete and couldn’t be experienced, which isn’t strange.

Su Mo originally planned to wait for the official release of "Dawn" to explore Venus Eden Garden and see what stories it held.

He didn’t get the chance, as he traversed before that happened.

Previously, Su Mo was busy with various things and couldn’t attend to a small Eden Garden.

Today, when Future mentioned the date by chance, he remembered this incident and specially came to take a look.

The game is a game, some places just can’t be visited.

But in reality, you won’t just come upon a flying creature telling you – the area ahead will be open for exploration later.

Venus Eden Garden is like Saint Rivelan; although inaccessible in the game, it must have its own coherent environment in reality.

At this moment, Su Mo was standing at the entrance of Venus Eden Garden.

Because the garden is under closed management and generally not open to the public, getting inside is quite troublesome.

Fortunately, Su Mo is quite renowned in New Moon City. A phone call and some connections got him the entry permission, and the principal, "Miyata Junren," personally came to greet him at the door.

"Hello, Director Su." Miyata Junren smiled kindly, shaking hands with Su Mo, "I was quite surprised to receive the news that you wanted to visit the Eden Garden suddenly."

Su Mo smiled, "I read about the influential Eden Plan in history books and always wanted to come have a look when the opportunity arises."

Miyata Junren generously gestured, "Please, it will be lively tonight."

The two walked into the Eden Garden, with Miyata Junren giving Su Mo a preliminary tour and introducing a series of facilities.

Inside the Eden Garden, there are classrooms, dormitories, cafeterias, administrative buildings, etc. Children of different age groups live here. They are all laboratory-born artificial babies, conceived through technological means, with no parents, only the big family of the Eden Garden.

Biologically speaking, other than the different birth method, they are not much different from ordinary humans.

It is now evening.

Babies lie in the thermostatic room sucking on pacifiers, wiggling their chubby little hands, sometimes crying, which catches the caregivers’ attention.

Young children are arranged in multimedia rooms to watch the news, learning about world affairs. There are designated instructors for ideological guidance, cultivating their outlook to support the Upper Court and contribute to humanity when they grow up.

Older teenagers need "detention class" based on their daily performance, assigned to different classes to learn corresponding subjects in humanities and sciences.

Children sensitive to numbers will be taught mathematics, finance, and similar knowledge, likely becoming actuaries in the future, serving the authorities or major enterprises.

Children with rich imaginations will participate in scientific experiments, perhaps becoming scholars or scientists with their names on prestigious publications.

Physically outstanding children will engage heavily in various sports or even early contact with weapons, strengthening their loyalty to the Upper Court, and eventually becoming the backbone of different military branches.

As for those who aren’t exceptional in anything...no worries, they can find a job in factories or work on construction sites.

Although already aware of the Eden Plan’s background, Su Mo was still shocked to see it in person.

Entirely aside from moral and ethical issues, purely from the outcome, the "lack of people" problem has been permanently erased from human history.

After touring the outer facilities, Miyata Junren led Su Mo towards the administrative building, "Director Su, please, I’ll take you to meet the guests."

Miyata Junren took Su Mo to the top floor.

Upon opening the door, seeing the scene inside, Su Mo was somewhat taken aback.
