Deep Space Fleet

Vol 7 Chapter 657: population problem

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

When the war with the Apollo civilization was discovered, people discovered this problem. Where is the principle of both civilian and military use, if a war is really waged, a mother ship is blown up, and there are too many civilians dead!

But in that case it is impossible to have time to improve.

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

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

If you live in the planet in the future, people will not be satisfied with the original living area. The original house price was calculated based on the area. The larger the house, the higher the average house price per square. The per capita area is actually 16 square meters, which is really not much.

There is so much living space on the ship.

But now, of course, people want bigger houses, better environment, and some small animals.

Although the new human civilization is not a civilization that promotes economic growth by personal consumption desires, people have consumption desires, which is better than no desires.

Except for some basic social benefits, these material resources cannot be distributed free of charge. They can only be obtained through hard work. You should still pay for what you should spend, otherwise you can only envy others.

...

In this regard, we will not talk about social phenomena in a variety of ways. For management, the biggest problem is that the current population size seems a bit insufficient.

150 million sounds a lot, can do a lot of things, plus humans have spent 3,000 amoeba points in the Dyson ball and purchased [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 a variety of complex reasons, management would have wanted to get a billion people.

The population problem has always been a big problem!

The original technology tree required a certain amount of population to be developed and maintained. Research institutes of all walks of life are in short supply. As a fourth-level civilization, the science and technology tree has long been flourishing, forming a huge scientific and technological system.

Even with the aid of brain-assisted technology and extra perception, humans are much smarter than the Earth, and their learning efficiency has improved, but the population is still not enough.

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

Therefore, the manpower in this area can not be transferred, and try not to adjust, otherwise it is just picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

In addition, there are various administrative personnel, entertainment industry, service personnel, etc. These are all necessities of a civilization. Now people are pursuing all-round development, and will no longer develop in one direction just like before.

In addition, the six mother ships could theoretically carry a population of 200 million, and now only 150 million are loaded, and they are not fully loaded yet. Then there is another planet now. After the residential area is developed, it will be able to carry at least 1 billion people.

As a result, when some of the staff moved to the ground, the spaceship became empty. Commercial areas and various entertainment venues were deserted a lot. Some people who are used to liveliness are quite unaccustomed to it.

Expansion of the population is a very important and extremely urgent event, but no matter how urgent the entire society's demand for the population is, it requires quite detailed planning.

Population is a wealth and a burden. With more people, the number of top geniuses will increase. Related supporting education and public services should be prepared in advance, how to manage after the increase of people, and how to adjust the economic system. These are major challenges facing the management of the new human civilization.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 150 million people and 1 billion people are two different ways of management. In the event of a special event, mobilizing 1 billion people and mobilizing 150 million people are two different orders of magnitude."

"In our society, the quality of the required population is really too high ... A little poorer population quality will in turn hinder the development of society. This is clear to everyone."

In this daily meeting, Ms. Captain raised the issue in this regard.

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

In addition, among the current 150 million people, one hundred years old or two or three hundred years old middle-aged people, the comprehensive quality is simply unprecedented. They have experienced the dark years before the neutron star collision, witnessed the decline of the "dazzling galactic branch", and experienced the baptism of the Dyson ball incident. They know that the development of a civilization is not easy, and they are basically dominated by blue ideas.

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 may not be behind, although we can use education to let them know this. It ’s the same thing, but education and personal experience are two different things ... ”

"The power of education is quite limited."

"So, we should maintain a cautious and optimistic attitude. At present, the large society formed by 150 million people 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 has expanded to 800 million people, and eventually has remained at 1 billion, even more, 1.2 billion, 1.5 billion, no problem."

"All in all, 10-12 billion is a better number ..."

The captain is a typical figure of deep blue thinking. After listening to this, she said with a little dissatisfaction: "Professor Ye, your statement has some truth. But first I want to ask if we can create such Many jobs? Especially high-end jobs, you know what this means, high-end jobs, not the kind of jobs that sell labor! "

"If you don't have enough posts, then it will be over. A lot of people will be idle all day long, wandering in society, and the entire civilization will collapse immediately! We can never develop labor-intensive industries like the earth. ! "

Labor-intensive industries are not bad. In a period when a country is at the starting point of industrialization, it is more suitable to develop labor-intensive industries and transform agricultural populations into industrial populations in large quantities.

Of the product costs of labor-intensive industries, ~ www.readwn.com ~ labor costs account for a large proportion, while material capital expenditures account for a small proportion.

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

Captain Feng said, "... Like the civilization of the earth, a clothing store must hire a waiter there to check out cash, even if the robot can completely replace the cashier, but it has to be so for employment."

"After a large population, 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 a panacea. Technology cannot solve many social problems: for example, jobs.

The development of science and technology can create a variety of new posts, but will also eliminate many old posts.

The more developed science and technology, the higher the quality requirements for human beings. However, the personal qualities of human beings are always normally distributed. Even with the blessing of intellectual technology, it is impossible to bridge the gap. Most people are mediocre, unable to engage in cutting-edge positions, and a series of social problems have arisen.
