Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 657: The population problem

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. There is a reason for both civilian and military use. If there is a war, a mothership will be destroyed, and there will be too many dead civilians!

But in that situation there is no time to improve.

But after improvements in the future, there will be basically no such problems.

After owning a battle 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 on the 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 space on the spacecraft.

But now, people naturally want bigger houses, better environments, and 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.

Except for some basic social benefits, these material resources cannot be allocated for free. They can only be obtained through hard work. What you need to buy is to spend money, otherwise you can only envy others.

……

Let’s not say more about the various social phenomena in this regard. For the management, the biggest problem is that the current population size seems a bit insufficient.

150 million sounds like a lot and can do a lot of things. In addition, since human beings have spent three thousand amoeba points in the Dyson Sphere to purchase the [Micro Nano-Alpha 3 Maintenance Robot], the cracking progress has steadily increased. Artificial intelligence capabilities are steadily increasing...

But actually? Still not enough. 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 four-level 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 the earth period, and learning efficiency has improved, but the population is still somewhat insufficient.

In addition, as a fourth-level civilization, it is possible that there will be no significant results for decades. 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 used, and try not to be able to transfer, otherwise it will be picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon.

In addition, there are various administrative personnel, entertainment industry, service personnel, etc., which are all necessities of a civilization. People are now pursuing all-round development, and will no longer just bite the bullet and develop in one direction as before.

Even, six motherships can theoretically carry a population of 200 million, but now only 150 million are installed, which is still not fully loaded. Then now there is another planet. After the residential area is developed, it can hold at least one billion people, which is exactly the rhythm of the vastness of the land and the sparse population.

As a result, after some of the staff moved to the ground, the spacecraft appeared empty. The commercial area and various entertainment venues were much deserted. Some people who are used to the excitement are not used to it.

Expanding the population is a very important and extremely urgent event, but no matter how urgent the population needs of the entire society, it requires quite detailed planning.

Population is a kind of wealth and a burden. With more people, the number of top geniuses will also increase. Related supporting education and public services should be prepared in advance. How to manage when there are more people and how to adjust the economic system are all 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 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 this daily meeting, 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, among the current population of 150 million, 100-year-old young people, or two- or three-hundred-year-old middle-aged people, 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, knowing 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 educational scholar raised this question: "...but we cannot completely rely on social inertia. When our generation is dead, the new-born population behind will not necessarily be the same. Although education can be used to They know this, but education and personal experience are always two different things..."

"The power of education is quite limited."

"So, we should maintain a cautious and optimistic attitude. The current large society formed by 150 million people has formed a certain degree of good inertia. We must strive to expand within 80 years without changing the atmosphere. To 500 million people!"

"Within 150 years, it will expand to 800 million people, and eventually remain at 1 billion, or even more, 1.2 billion, 1.5 billion, 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 some dissatisfaction: "Professor Ye, your statement has some truth. But first I want to ask whether we Can you create so many jobs? Especially high-end jobs, you know what that means, high-end jobs are not the kind of jobs that sell labor!"

"If there are not enough jobs, then it will be over. A large number of people do nothing all day long, wandering in the society, and the whole civilization will collapse immediately! We can never develop labor like the earth did in the past. 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 quantities.

In the product cost of labor-intensive industries, ~IndoMTL.com~ labor costs account for a larger proportion, while material capital costs account 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: "...Like the earth civilization, a clothing store must hire a waiter to collect cash there, even if the robot can completely replace the cashier, it has to be so for the sake of employment."

"As the population increases, there will inevitably be a large number of individuals who cannot adapt to the times. Should our civilization follow the policies of the earth's civilization?"

Technology is not omnipotent, and technology cannot solve many social problems: for example, jobs.

The development of technology can create various 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 intelligence and technology, it is impossible to bridge the gap. Most people are mediocre and unable to engage in cutting-edge positions, so a series of social problems have arisen.
