Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space: Remarks from this volume

The new volume is over again, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief!

The storyline of this volume is not too complicated, that is, a series of stories produced when human beings cause a neutron star collision, and finally made a fairly good friend, and finally succeeded in moving towards the fourth level of civilization...

It's really not easy to become a Level 4 civilization!

I am quite satisfied with the whole process. I can score 90 points. There is no big regret. The set goal is basically completed!

Suddenly I found that there is nothing else to sigh with... The comments in this volume seem to be too short, and the judges will be unsatisfied, so let's just talk about the "dynamic planned economy" system that the new human civilization has been implementing. .

When the author set up the planned economy, he borrowed from the Soviet Union.

Although the Soviet Union finally disintegrated, there are many reasons, but the planned economy should not be too big a burden.

The planned economy of the Soviet Union looks beautiful, but it is actually very powerful. There has never been an economic crisis, but the actual operation is extremely difficult. New China has been studying for more than ten years, and Soviet experts have been hand-in-hand for five years. China has not even stepped into the threshold, but just looked at the door, and then directly failed to imitate.

Why? First of all, the first point is that because the planned economy requires very powerful grassroots personnel, especially statisticians, to count the materials needed by the entire country, China's population quality at that time was completely inadequate, and even the Soviet Union was so-so and just reached the passing line.

So when looking at the planned economy of the Soviet Union, one should not confuse the planned economy of China.

To talk about the planned economy of the Soviet Union, Leonid Kontorovich is inevitable. Director of Economic Issues Research at the Institute of National Economic Management of the State Council of Science and Technology of the Soviet Union. Its core model is the theory of optimal allocation of resources, which won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1975. Don't think that it is a fool to engage in a planned economy, and there are many invisible bosses among them. For details, please refer to the book "Reasonable Use of Electrical Energy in Machinery Manufacturing Plants". A certain chairman of our country is a translator.

The five-year plan of the Soviet Union is generally divided into seven parts with 60,000 independent titles. The goals are planned mainly through linear programming and operations research. The reason lies in the fact that it enters into the methodological basis of the core of modern economics, which is the concept of duality between the composition of quantity ration and the composition of price.

To put it simply, the planned economy of the Soviet Union used huge computing power to simulate the "invisible hand", and then to arrive at the optimal solution. :

The first chapter, production, includes the calibration of tens of thousands of commodities.

The second chapter, use, compile a balance sheet.

The State Planning Commission compiled a balance sheet of 2000 items.

The material supply and marketing agency compiles a balance sheet of 10,000 commodities.

The National Material Supply Bureau and various ministries and commissions compile tens of thousands of commodity balance sheets.

Chapter Three, Labor Force Distribution.

Chapter 4, Investment Plan.

Chapter 5, Technology Development Goals.

Chapter 6, Import and Export Goals.

Chapter Seven Financial Budget.

To sum up, basically this system is still very strict.

As for why the Soviet economic system did not surpass the United States, there are many reasons. The first is that the system is too complicated, the foundation is too poor, and the quality of grassroots personnel is not enough. The Soviet Union's foundation is much worse than that of the United States;

The second is the lack of timely monetization, and the long-term exchange of goods has caused the scissors gap, which has led to the creation of a large number of unearned interest classes, and corruption is quite serious.

Thirdly, the allies are not as powerful as the United States, and they also have antagonisms with China and made major strategic mistakes in the expedition to Afghanistan;

The fourth is to attach importance to heavy industry and neglect light industry. This can only be said to be the pot of leaders who formulate plans, not the pot of planned economy. In a planned economy system, the ability of leadership is very important.

Fifth, during the technological explosion, plans cannot match changes. Under such circumstances, the free economy is developing rapidly, and the planned economy is merely stable.

(The above are all personal opinions!)

When I set up this economic system, I thought that in an Internet era, using big data and artificial intelligence for overall planning ~IndoMTL.com~ will undoubtedly speed up the efficiency of government communication and avoid many shortcomings.

In the Soviet era, there was a big loss without the Internet. Leaders held meetings for a day, and the efficiency was extremely low.

Without big data, we can only rely on the statistics of the grassroots personnel, and the error rate is extremely high.

The other thing is, I think we can let go of some of the plans, especially some entertainment industries, light industries, etc., for free competition. There is no need to plan for these scattered things.

Under this kind of thinking, there is the origin of the set of settings in the book. Especially in an era when productivity is far greater than demand, planning is still necessary...

Alright, the settings in the book will say so much for the time being!

Speaking of which, the first volume is over, tomorrow is the day I want to ask for leave. But for the New Year, I have to ask for a period of leave in a few days, so I am a little embarrassed...

Looking at the archived manuscript in hand, it’s a bit bottomed, and the plot of the next volume is still under consideration...so, ask for a long time off, let’s update it tomorrow!
