After listening to Otili's words, Wang Bin thought for a while and didn't answer right away. After all, although the Mars mining base has been built, the mining equipment is not yet fully in place.

After all, this is Mars, not the earth. The mining method of the earth is not suitable for the mining of Martian minerals. Therefore, after a series of discussions, Wang Bin and the others decided to adopt completely unmanned mining, that is, to use robots to mine Martian minerals. to mine.

Although these mining robots seem to be very tall, in fact, for the current human civilization, it is completely achievable, so after less than three months of research and development, at this time Tiangong Technology The developed mining robots have already started mass production.

Of course, since these robots are the first generation of mining robots developed by Tiangong Technology, the mining speed of minerals still needs to be improved, and they cannot be as efficient as those on the earth that use manual mining.

But if it is placed on an alien planet, then it is different. If artificial mining is used on an alien planet, then the human body must wear a thick spacesuit or exoskeleton armor.

And because human civilization does not know much about the situation of alien planets, even Mars and the moon, if artificial mining of alien planet minerals is used, the risk factor is very high, but mining with robots is different, even if the robots are only It is possible to use remote operation to mine minerals, and there is no danger. At most, it is just a loss of one or two robots.

You must know that as human civilization has officially entered the interstellar era, the entire Federation is now very aware of the importance of population in the interstellar era.

Not to mention anything else, they just learned from the mouth of the Blue Star captive "Hai" that although the Blue Star civilization is only a relatively low-level civilization in the Milky Way, the population of this civilization is nearly 20 billion. If it is some overlord civilizations in the Milky Way, then the population of these civilizations is even larger, and they are all calculated in tens of millions.

So at this time, human civilization attaches great importance to everyone on the earth, no matter how poor he is, of course, the laws of the Federation are still very strict for those who commit the most heinous crimes. After all, their existence is not only It will only harm themselves, and it will also endanger many people.

After all, as human civilization officially enters the era of great spaceflight, space stations, space cities, moon bases, and now Mars mineral bases have been established one after another. At this time, although most of these space and alien projects are not open to ordinary people, they will be With the development of human civilization, we will continue to increase our efforts in the field of space development. In the end, the main force of human civilization to enter space will be ordinary people, but now Wang Bin and the research ships and fleets of the Earth Federation are just advance troops.

When,

There will be a lot of ordinary people participating in the space industry or even emigrating to alien planets, just a few hundred or tens of millions, it's not a problem at all.

Take the mining base on Mars as an example. Although it is only a small-scale base, in the high-level plan of the Earth Federation, this Mars mining base will eventually be built into a mining industry that can accommodate more than five million people at the same time. This is just a base on Mars. There are at least ten such bases in the planning. It will reach as many as fifty or sixty million.

If human civilization finally decides to transform Mars in the future and succeeds, it will be no problem to casually immigrate hundreds of millions or even a dozen or two billion. In addition, there will be various bases on the moon. There are dozens of them, and even if each one can accommodate millions of people, there will be tens of millions.

In addition, there are space cities and other space facilities in the future, which also require a large number of personnel to maintain.

Also, this is only a short-to-medium-term plan. In the distant future, human civilization will investigate Venus to determine the feasibility of transforming Venus. If it is feasible and successful, the population that Venus can accommodate The number will definitely be comparable to that of the earth, and this is only for the solar system. If human civilization enters other galaxies in the future, the required population will be even larger.

Therefore, with the current population of nearly 10 billion on the earth, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the future human civilization that wants to enter the universe on a large scale.

It is precisely because of this that the earth has now introduced a large number of strategies to encourage births. Of course, the encouragement strategies are different in different regions. Take Huaxia District as an example, although the total population of Huaxia District has reached 14 at this time. More than 100 million, but the Huaxia District officials still introduced a large number of incentive policies, and their strength is unprecedented, and it can even be said to be the highest in the entire world.

Therefore, both Wang Bin and Mr. Qin are not too worried about the population growth of human civilization on earth. After all, there is no pressure of life, the pressure of every mortgage and car loan, and there is no worry about not being able to afford it. However, people in Huaxia are still very keen to have more children.

Closer to home, although there are already some mining robots in the Mars base, the number is still a little small. All the robots add up, only a dozen or so. The most important thing is that at this time, the professional operators of these robots, and more Many robots are still on the way, and it will take at least a week before they can arrive.

In other words, even if he wanted the Mars base to start mining the minerals in this row of mining areas immediately, it would not help, it could only be regarded as a symbol, which was definitely not what Wang Bin wanted.

However, considering that the current senior leaders of the Federation are eager to see human civilization, it is the mining of minerals on Mars in order to improve people's recognition of the Federation and their enthusiasm for opening up the human interstellar space, so Wang Bin is still interested. Caudalie said: "Then order Mars to carry out a symbolic mining of this mining area! Before the arrival of professionals, more equipment and robots, how much can be mined. After all, those who are interested are already waiting impatiently!"

"Okay!" Caudalie nodded, and then he turned his gaze to the other five deputy commanders in the command center, that is, Mr. Qin and the others.

She is very clear that although Wang Bin is the person in charge of the space industry responsible for the entire human civilization, he has great power and can formulate various plans, but many decisions cannot be made by Wang Bin alone, and he must refer to five other people. The deputy commander's suggestion will do.
