Deep Space Fleet

Since the original mothership had to carry a large number of people, it had various non-military functions, so it was always a bit cumbersome to fight.

When the war with the Apollo civilization was discovered, people discovered this problem. There is no reason for both civilian and military purposes. If there is a real war, a mothership will blow up, and too many civilians will die!

But in that case there is no time to improve.

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

After owning a battle star, the whole society even has a new desire for consumption, that is...bigger and better houses, especially houses with a per capita area of ​​more than 50 square meters.

If people live in 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 only 16 square meters, which is really not much.

Where is there so much living area on the spaceship.

But now, people naturally want a bigger house, a better environment, and some small animals.

Although the new human civilization is not a civilization that promotes economic growth with personal consumption desires, it is better for people to have consumption desires than to have no desires.

Except for some basic social benefits, these material resources cannot be distributed for free, and can only be obtained by hard work, and you have to spend money to buy them, otherwise you can only envy others.

...

Leaving aside the miscellaneous social phenomena in this regard, the biggest problem for the management 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 spent 3,000 amoeba points in the Dyson sphere to purchase the [Micro-Nano-Alpha 3 Maintenance Robot], the cracking progress has steadily increased. Artificial intelligence capabilities increase steadily……

But actually? Still not enough. If it weren't for various complicated reasons, the management would like to have a population of one billion.

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. As a fourth-level civilization, the technology tree has already flourished, forming a huge number of technology systems.

Even with assisted brain technology and additional perception, humans are much smarter than the earth period, and their learning efficiency has improved, but the population is still not enough.

In addition, as a fourth-level civilization, it is possible to produce major results in decades. Even if the advancement speed of each technology line is very slow, we must persist in it, otherwise, how can we move forward for no reason?

Therefore, the manpower in this area should not be transferred, and try not to be transferred, otherwise it would be picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

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

Even, the six motherships can theoretically carry a population of 200 million, but now they only hold 150 million, which is not yet fully loaded. And now there is another planet. After the residential area is developed, it can carry at least 1 billion people.

As a result, after some of the staff were relocated to the ground, the spaceship seemed empty. The business district and various entertainment venues were much deserted. Some people who were used to the excitement were not used to it.

Population expansion is a very important and extremely urgent matter, but no matter how urgent the population demand of the whole society is, it requires quite detailed planning.

Population is both a wealth and a burden. If there are more people, the number of top geniuses will also increase. Related supporting education and public services should be prepared in advance, how to manage the number of people, and how to adjust the economic system. These 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 a population of 1 billion and mobilizing 150 million are two different orders of magnitude."

"Our society requires too high a population quality... A slightly poorer population quality will in turn hinder the development of society. Everyone knows this."

In this daily meeting, Madam Captain focused on this issue.

Fortunately, human scientists have been studying this issue for a long time, and have proposed various solutions.

Coupled with the current population of 150 million, young people who are a hundred years old, or middle-aged people who are two or three hundred years old, the overall quality is simply unprecedented. They have experienced the dark age before the neutron star collision, witnessed the sinking of the "Bright Galaxy Branch", and experienced the baptism of the Dyson ball event, and know that the development of a civilization is not easy, and it is 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 raised this question: "...But we cannot completely rely on social inertia. When our generation dies, the new born population will not necessarily be the same, although we can use educational methods to let them know this. One thing, but education and personal experience are two different things..."

"The power of education is quite limited."

"So, we should maintain a cautiously optimistic attitude. At present, a large society with a population of 150 million has formed a certain degree of good inertia. We must strive to expand to 500 million within 80 years without changing the atmosphere. people!"

"Within 150 years, it will expand to 800 million people, and eventually it will remain at 1 billion, or even more, 1.2 billion, 1.5 billion, no problem."

"All in all, 1.0-1.21 billion is an ideal number..."

This female captain is a typical character of Deep Blue Thinking. After hearing this, she said dissatisfiedly: "Professor Ye, your statement has some truth. But first I want to ask, whether we can create such a A lot of 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, it will be over. A large number of people have nothing to do all day long, wandering in society, and the entire civilization will collapse immediately! We will never be able to develop labor-intensive industries like the earth in the past !"

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 industrial population in large quantities.

In the product cost of labor-intensive industries, labor consumption accounts for a large proportion, while material capital consumption accounts for a relatively small proportion.

But it has the limitations of the times, and the most typical feature is that the added value is relatively low. A plane is exchanged for a few shirts, and shirts are so-called labor-intensive industries.

Captain Feng said: "...Just like the civilization of the earth, a clothing store must hire a waiter to collect cash there. Even if a robot can completely replace the cashier, it has to be so for employment."

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

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

The development of science and technology can create various new jobs, but it will also eliminate many old jobs.

The more advanced the technology, the higher the requirements for people's quality. However, the personal quality of human beings is always in a normal distribution. 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.
