Deep Space Fleet

The launch of the "Golden Sun", the construction of this super mothership consumed too much manpower and material resources of the Foundation.

Or the death of some key political figures, the changes of the times, the disappearance of the real background of the "New Civilization School"...

Due to various reasons, the Deep Space Foundation, a giant organization that has stood for hundreds of years, has finally ushered in its own period of decline.

Flowers do not have a hundred days of redness, and people do not have a thousand days to be happy. It was as if seeing his last "old friend" walking towards death step by step, Zhang Yuan felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

But he, who is 5 light years away, can do nothing more than stand by and watch...

next report.

"Hello, colleagues from Earth Age and Golden Sun. I am the then president of the Deep Space Foundation, Ma Wentao."

"In this report, I will bring you the changes in the earth's civilization in recent years..."

Although the Deep Space Foundation is weakening, it is still an organization supported by the government. As long as it has the support of the government, it is relatively difficult to completely collapse.

The population of the entire civilization continues to increase slowly, and has exceeded 60 billion. Coupled with the development of the solar system project, the economy of the earth civilization is booming.

But another event that seemed small but actually affected the entire human race happened.

After crossing a certain boundary, housing prices on Earth began to soar!

Especially the housing prices in first-tier cities have soared and doubled several times in just ten years!

Why?

Going to space to work, isn't it just to make money?

After earning money, isn’t it just to return home and enjoy a better life?

Where is the better life, of course on Earth!

Human beings are advanced organisms evolved from the earth and can fully adapt to the earth's environment, including the earth's gravity, air pressure, microbial composition and so on. Living on other planets, even with the blessing of various high-tech equipment, it is still not so comfortable.

Therefore, on the earth, a house must be bought for sure, and it is a kind of rigid need.

Moreover, a research survey found that the average life expectancy of people who have lived on the earth for a long time is much higher than that of other planets.

This has inspired a frenzied house buying boom among the whole people!

Who wants to be short-lived for no reason!

But space on Earth, especially prime listings, is limited. In order to live comfortably, a normal city will have a certain plan. For example, the height of skyscrapers cannot exceed 1200 meters, and the distance between buildings must be large enough that each household can be exposed to sunlight, etc...

villa?

Ordinary people don't think about it, the real rich and powerful of course live in villas.

There must also be a large number of supporting facilities, such as parks, pedestrian streets, hospitals, schools and various entertainment venues.

Only such a house is an excellent place to live.

Zhang Yuan didn't really care too much about the rise in housing prices this time, but just regarded it as a normal market behavior. There were several reports in a row that mentioned this matter, but he subconsciously ignored it.

Zhang Yuan didn't realize the importance and depth of the matter until several major events occurred later.

The first thing is the hidden financial crisis triggered by the real estate bubble. This wave of price rises was theoretically driven by rigid demand, but the rise in prices triggered a frenzy of speculation among the people.

People hope that after buying a house, they will resell it in a few years, so as to make a difference in the price. In this way, speculators began to spread the word. The house has changed from a just-needed product to an investment target. The government has urgently implemented various purchase restriction policies, but housing prices are still rising.

In this rapid price increase, the deposits of the masses of the people have been exhausted, and all of them have been burdened with huge mortgages...

The second big event is that a real estate development giant directly bought all the land in a poor and small country for real estate development!

"What is this? Buying a country? A large interstellar real estate developer?" Zhang Yuan scratched his head.

Zhang Yuan really paid attention to this staggering amount of wealth.

The soaring housing prices on the earth have become a historical event, which means that the poor will no longer have the right to live on the earth.

As for the original poor people, they became interstellar demolition households, happily acquired a large amount of property that was once unimaginable, then abandoned their hometown, and happily went to a different planet...

For the poor, money is the most important thing. Lifespan and the like are things that should be considered later.

Have money and be happy first!

Zhang Yuan didn't know if there was something tricky about it. Although demolition and relocation has money to take and great short-term benefits, there will always be some unscrupulous households, right?

The whole country was bought out, and national sovereignty was lost. This kind of thing is too exaggerated.

Senior Brother Zhao said, "You have to know that in this era, the gap between countries is even greater than that between humans and monkeys."

"Our country, with a stable political environment, is a pioneer in the space industry and has developed rapidly for hundreds of years. And many countries have developed very slowly or even without any development in these hundreds of years... for some regions In other words, a cassava processing machine can still become the richest man in the area.”

"Behind the capital giants are countries. When big countries really look at their land, do they really have the right to choose? As long as the food is not too ugly, who cares about sovereignty."

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully, and what he said was true, this kind of thing had happened long ago. For example, the country that once appeared on the earth, Nauru, is known as the "Kingdom of Guano". As a result, this small country went bankrupt soon after the guano was dug, and the final result was swallowed by Australia. What was once the land has become a prison.

The competition in the world is very fierce, and no country will help another country free of charge.

These poor countries have no technology, no funds, and naturally it is impossible to develop their own national industries.

Even if it develops, it will be defeated by better products, and there is no way to continue.

To use a specific analogy, semiconductor technology began to rise in the middle of the 20th century. At that time, all theories and patents were in the ascendant. If a country started to catch up from then, it would not be difficult.

Like Muguo and Bangguo, both in the 20th century, after seizing the opportunity, they became semiconductor powerhouses.

However, Xia Guo only started to vigorously develop semiconductor technology in the 21st century. It was only a few decades late, and the price had to be doubled, because the market had long been occupied by the pioneers.

Fortunately, Xia Guo's local market and talent pool are large enough to catch up slowly...

Today's semiconductor technology has been developed for hundreds of years. If the leader of a small impoverished country slaps his head and wants to make semiconductors by himself, it is definitely an impossible task.

There are many things, if you miss it, you will miss it permanently, and the gap will become wider and wider, and there is no possibility of making up.

In addition, with the development of the alien economy, a large number of polluting industries on the earth have been stopped, especially the gold mines and diamond mines discovered by Mercury are much better than those on the earth. Therefore, many countries have completely lost their economic resources, and they can only sell their land.

"That is to say, the entire civilization of the earth is spontaneously expelling this part of the backward and poor population from the earth through economic benefits."

This is a subtle process that lasted... for more than a hundred years!
