Chapter 666
Because the original mothership had to carry a large number of people and had various non-military functions, it was always a bit cumbersome to fight.
When the war with the Apollo civilization was discovered, people discovered this problem. Where is the principle of both civilian and military use. If a war is really fought, a mothership will be blown up, and the dead civilians will also Too much!
But in that situation it is impossible to have time to improve.
But after improvements in the future, there will be basically no such problems.
After owning a War Star, the whole society even has a new consumer desire, that is... bigger and better houses, especially houses with an area of more than 50 square meters per capita.
If people live in planet in the future, people are no longer satisfied with the original living area. The original house price is calculated according to the area. The larger the house, the higher the average house price per square meter. . The per capita area is actually 16 square meters, which is really not that much.
Where is there so much living area on spaceship?
But now, people as it should be by rights want a bigger house, a better environment, and they can raise some small animals.
Although the new human civilization is not a civilization that uses personal consumption desire to promote economic growth, it is better for people to consume desire than without desire.
In addition to some basic social benefits, these material resources are also impossible to be allocated for free, and can only be obtained by hard work. What you need to buy is to spend money, otherwise you can only envy others.
……
Let’s not talk about the various social phenomena in this area for the time being. For the management, the biggest problem is that the current population size seems a bit insufficient.
150 million sounds like a lot, and it can do a lot of things. In addition, since humans have spent three thousand amoeba points in the Dyson sphere, they have spent three thousand amoeba points to purchase the [Micro Nano-Alpha 3 Maintenance Robot], the progress of the cracking After steadily increasing, artificial intelligence capabilities have steadily increased...
But actually? still not enough to use. If it were not for all kinds of complicated reasons, the management would have waited for a billion people.
The population problem has always been a big problem!
The original technology tree requires a certain amount of population to develop and maintain. Research institutes in all walks of life are short of people themselves. As a Level 4 civilization, the science and technology tree has long been luxuriant, forming a huge science and technology system.
Even with assisted brain technology and additional perception, human beings are much smarter than in the Earth period, and their learning efficiency is improved, but the population is still somewhat insufficient.
In addition, as a Level 4 civilization, it is possible that several decades will not produce a major Great Accomplishment. Even if the advancement of various technological lines is slow, it is always necessary to persevere, otherwise how can it be possible to move forward for no reason?
Therefore, the manpower in this area can not be deployed, and try not to be transferred, otherwise it will be picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon.
In addition, there are various administrative personnel, entertainment industry, service personnel, etc., these all are the necessities of a civilization. Now people are pursuing all-round development, instead of just developing in one direction like in the past, brace oneself.
Even, six motherships can theoretically carry a population of 200 million, but now only 150 million are installed, which is not fully loaded yet. And now there is another planet. After the residential area is developed, it will be able to carry at least one billion people, which is exactly the rhythm of vast land and sparsely populated areas.
As a result, after a part of the staff moved to the ground, the spaceship appeared empty. The Commerce District and various entertainment venues were much deserted. Some people who are used to the bustle are not used to it.
Expansion of population is a very important and extremely urgent major event, but no matter how urgent the demand for population in the whole society is, it requires quite detailed planning.
Population is a kind of wealth and a burden. With more people, the number of top genius will also increase. Related supporting education and public services should be prepared in advance, how to manage when there are more people, how to adjust the economic system, these all are the major challenges faced by the management of the new human civilization.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a population of 150 million and a population of 1 billion are two different management methods. If a special event occurs, mobilizing 1 billion people and mobilizing 150 million people are two different Different magnitudes."
"The quality of the population required by our society is too high...a slightly poorer population quality will in turn hinder the development of the society. Everyone knows this. "
In the daily meeting at this time, the captain focused on this issue.
Fortunately, human scientists have been studying this issue for a long, long time, and have put forward various proposals.
In addition to the current population of 150 million, a youngster who is 100 years old, or a middle age person who is two or three hundred years old, the overall quality is simply unprecedented. They have experienced the dark years before the neutron star collision, witnessed the sinking of the "brilliant galaxy branch", and experienced the baptism of the Dyson Ball incident. They knew that the development of a civilization is not easy, and they are basically dominated by blue thoughts.
The social inertia formed by this group of people is very powerful and will drive the healthy growth of the next generation.
An education scholar asked this question: "...but we can’t completely rely on social inertia. When this generation dies, the new born population behind will not be certain, although it can Let them know this by educational means, but education and personal experience are always two different things..."
"The power of education is quite limited."
"So, we should keep Be cautious and optimistic. At present, a large society with 150 million people has formed a certain degree of good inertia. We must strive to expand to 500 million people within 80 years without changing the atmosphere!"
"Within 150 years, it will expand to 800 million people, and in the end it will remain at 1 billion, or even more, 1.2 billion, 1.5 billion, there is no problem."
"In short, 10-12 100 million is an ideal number..."
This female captain is a typical figure of Deep Blue Thinking. After listening to this, she said with a little dissatisfaction: "Professor Ye , Your statement has some truth. But first I want to ask, can we create so many jobs? Especially high-end jobs, do you know what that means, high-end jobs are not the kind of jobs that sell labor!"
"If you don’t have enough jobs, then you’re done. A lot of people do nothing all day long, wandering in society, and the whole civilization will collapse immediately! We are always impossible and like Earth did in the past, go Develop labor-intensive industries!"
Labor-intensive industries are not bad. When a country is at the starting point of industrialization, it is more suitable to develop labor-intensive industries and transform the agricultural population into an industrial population in large numbers. .
In the product cost of labor-intensive industries, labor consumption accounts for a larger proportion, while material capital consumption accounts for a smaller proportion.
But it has the limitations of the times, the most typical feature is that the added value is relatively low. Change a few shirts for a plane, and shirts are a so-called labor-intensive industry.
Captain Feng said: "...Just like Earth Civilization, a clothing store must hire a waiter to check the cash there. Even if the robot can completely replace the cashier, it has to be so for the sake of employment."
"When the population grows, there will inevitably be a large number of individuals who cannot adapt to the times. Should our civilization follow the policies of the Earth civilization?"
Technology is not a panacea. Can't solve many social problems: for example, jobs.
The development of science and technology can give birth to a variety of new positions, but it will also eliminate many old positions.
The more advanced the technology, the higher the quality requirements of people. However, the personal quality of human beings is always distributed normally. Even with the blessing of intellectual technology, it is impossible to smooth the gap. Most people are mediocre and unable to engage in cutting-edge positions, so a series of social problems have arisen.
