The last human in the universe

Chapter 209 Skyrocketing
After the initial preparations, the massive construction work began without delay.

A total of [-] million hibernating populations were awakened one by one, and numerous spaceships shuttled frequently between the surface of the planet and the passenger and cargo spacecraft, quickly transporting manpower and a large number of machines to the surface of the planet.Factories, mines, and orbital gun launch centers sprung up like mushrooms after rain, quickly growing on each satellite.

If the entire population is awakened, the 41 Yuanhang passenger and cargo spacecraft alone will not be able to carry it no matter what.But now, a large number of people have been diverted to various construction sites, and a huge construction task has begun, and the Yuanhang spacecraft has become empty instead.

These spaces are not wasted, but after a slight transformation, they quickly become one reproductive breeding center after another.

Zhao Changxing and the civilization leaders know very well that the population is the basis of everything.Without enough population, even if a complete third-level civilization technology system is in front of our eyes, it is impossible for human civilization to become a real third-level civilization.

Because there are not enough scientific researchers to learn, pass on, and research this knowledge.

Rapidly increasing the population is a rigid requirement.

As a result, a huge number of embryos were transplanted into the artificial uterus and began to develop.At this moment, the number of embryos being cultivated at the same time has even reached about 2000 million, accounting for a full tenth of the original total population.

In this brand new galaxy, the human government completely released the population restriction, and went all out to increase the population.

Judging from the number of spaceships and living bases owned by human civilization at this time, when these embryos become babies and then adults, the living space is obviously not enough.But it doesn't matter, there is a buffer period of about 19 years between embryos and adults, and 19 years is enough for people to build enough living bases.

The population size of human civilization has grown rapidly at such an explosive rate.

However, this also caused some side effects.

As we all know, the sperm and eggs needed to cultivate embryos cannot be taken casually.Especially for men, even if the efficiency is improved as much as possible, a sperm retrieval cycle lasts for about a week.During this week, a man who participates in sperm donation must ejaculate at least five times to be enough for one serving.

For human males who have undergone multiple genetic modifications in the current era, this is nothing.But the key problem is that at this moment, it is in the development period of a brand new star system, and the various construction tasks are very heavy.

So the men of human civilization had to work hard during the day and cooperate with the painful life of the population security department during the rest.

Based on this, Zhao Changxing had to specially adjust the food strategy of civilization, let the animal husbandry department raise as many meat animals as possible, such as pigs, cattle, sheep and fish, and provide as much meat, eggs and milk for civilized men as possible. The men barely held on.

Another side effect is that for any large-scale civilization, no matter how strong the civilization control is, certain dark sides of society cannot be completely avoided-such as the pornography industry, underground industries such as prostitution and whoring, because of this policy. It suffered an indiscriminate disaster and was almost completely destroyed.But for civilization as a whole, this side effect is actually a good thing.

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and the nearly one hundred super-giant roller-shaped space habitation bases rushed to build in the early stage have finally been completed with the abundant resources produced by the H1 galaxy and the efforts of countless people.

This super-giant roller base is larger than any living base built by humans at any time.Each drum base has a length of up to 3 kilometers, a diameter of about 300 kilometers, and a total internal area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers.

Such a double-deck drum base—the outer layer is used for living and living, and the inner layer is used for the construction of various basic industrial facilities, various factories, scientific research institutes, etc., can carry nearly a million people without any obvious Congested, there is even room to build some parks, rivers, artificial lakes, rockery and the like.

Nearly [-] residential bases can accommodate nearly [-] million people.

The huge industrial capacity has greatly increased the upper limit of the population of human civilization.But unfortunately, the raised upper limit, based on the current population growth rate, can be completely swallowed in just about five years.

Because until now, after entering the H1 galaxy, the first batch of about 2000 million embryos cultivated have successfully grown up and become adults.And from now on, on average, the same number of humans will reach adulthood every year.

They need a house, they need a job, they need to get married, they need to have a family, they need entertainment, they need shopping...

If civilization cannot solve these needs and provide enough space, then population growth is no longer a good thing for civilization, but a disaster that may destroy the entire civilization.

At that time, uncontrolled young people will lose order, attack wherever they can reach, and consume the wealth of civilization like locusts.The next thing is a chicken feather, human civilization will be removed from this universe, and replaced by pirates all over the galaxy.

This matter must be treated with caution.Therefore, the construction of the ultra-giant double-deck roller-type living base not only cannot be stopped, but needs to be accelerated again.At least at least 20 can be built every year on average-if there is a margin, it is best to reach a speed of 25.

Fortunately, with the completion of the first batch of residential bases, the entire assembly line, whether it is related supporting factories-the total number is as high as tens of thousands, or numerous assembly, logistics, final assembly, energy, manpower, etc. A system has been formed, and from the current point of view, it should not be a problem to cover these soaring demands.

At this moment, with the joint efforts of hundreds of millions of people, the development of the H1-4 planetary system with a total of 35 larger satellites that have reached hydrostatic equilibrium has basically been completed.Human civilization has built a mature space navigation route that extends in all directions and communicates between any two satellites. Both personnel and resources can be more conveniently circulated between different planets.This is equivalent to laying the foundation for future in-depth development.

Under the staged implementation of the overall planning in the early stage, the adult period of the newly cultivated population basically coincides with the period when the basic development work is completed.In this way, demand and supply have reached a balance, neither will the development of civilization be delayed because demand is too high and supply is insufficient, nor will civilization be chaotic because demand is too low and supply is too high.

When the total population of civilization soars to the order of 8 million—among them, they have lost their ability to work and have contributed their entire lives to the development of civilization. At this moment, the number of elderly people who need to be fed back by civilization accounts for about 0.6 million, and the number of minors at various stages accounts for about 3.7 million. , a total of 4.3 million. At that time, Zhao Changxing and the civilization leaders began to plan to extend outwards, including the rest of the planets in the H1 galaxy into the scope of the development of human civilization.

This process took a total of more than 100 years.

At this time, the total population of human civilization has increased to 23 billion, and its footprints are all over every larger star in the H1 galaxy.At the same time, with the five major planets as the core, five larger urban agglomerations were built, and each urban agglomeration had a population ranging from [-] million to as many as one billion.

The communication satellite network throughout the entire galaxy—consists of millions of satellites of various types, and the logistics and passenger transportation system throughout the entire galaxy—consists of hundreds of thousands of civilian, cargo, police, passenger and other spaceships. Finish.At the same time, according to the element distribution attributes of different planets, the industrial clusters built according to their characteristics have also completed the layout.

There are information centers, business centers, entertainment centers, military centers, heavy industry clusters, steel industry clusters, chip industry clusters, etc., which are located next to different planets.

Zhao Changxing knew that until now, human civilization has truly completed the initial skeleton construction of the long-term development plan of civilization.

Yes, it's just a skeleton.To fill up this skeleton, I don't know how much manpower, material resources and time will be needed.

At this moment, the total population of 23 billion is still in a low state.With this amount to attack the third-level civilization, it is still wishful thinking to completely master the technological system of the third-level civilization, and there is no hope at all.

Even though the population growth rate has been increased as much as possible in the early stage, at this stage, what Zhao Changxing needs to do is to speed up the process again.

Only with a large enough population can the skeleton that has been built now be truly filled.

If so, another hundred years passed by in a hurry.

At this moment, the total population of human civilization has reached 60 billion.The tentacles of the development of human civilization have even spread beyond the galaxy, reaching those remote dwarf planets that are extremely far away from the stars.Inwardly, it has spread to the interior of the only two gas giant planets in the H1 galaxy.

People have developed spaceships that can withstand the harsh environment inside the gas giant planets, marched into the interior of the planet on a large scale, frantically exploited the resources contained in it, and supplied the needs of civilization like a bottomless pit.

At this time, Zhao Changxing felt that the time was finally ripe to launch the first assault on the real third-level civilization.

Zhao Changxing decided to rely entirely on the knowledge that humans have mastered, design, research, build, and integrate the industrial chain and supply system by himself from beginning to end, and build an antimatter production factory with an annual output of [-] tons.

Yes, the design goal is only to produce a thousand tons per year, but even so, there are still countless people in civilization who think this plan is too radical.
