History of Human Space Exploitation

Chapter 46 Gu Lanlan: The Only Story 2
The history of the world in the decades before Dr. Gu Lanlan was born is still worth pondering for future generations.

It is worth mentioning that as early as the 80s and [-]s, the country manager who was born in Gu Lanlan recognized many future problems.Many of these policies will have a great impact on human society in the next hundred years of artificial intelligence.

According to Karl Marx’s narration in “Das Kapital”, capitalists or personified capital always hope that a single social labor force can help them convert more constant and variable capital, so as to achieve the purpose of capital proliferation.At the same time, in the discourse of the marginal economics school, the end of production of a factory or a production entity is often when the marginal cost of the same or similar goods tends to the total average cost indefinitely.And if you combine the two, and then consider the "variable capital" or "variable cost", when the technology and artificial intelligence continue to develop, the labor force may tend to zero relative to the almost infinite output. Human society Perhaps another profound change will usher in.

From the first industrial revolution in the 21th century to the beginning of the 21st century, major countries in the world have basically completed the upgrade from purely manual labor to division of labor, mechanization, and even intelligence. The necessity of maintaining a large number of industrial workers has become the 50st century 80s. Social problems faced by late-developing industrial countries such as country I, country V, country N, and country R.Fortunately, the country where Gu Lanlan was born has deliberately restricted the excessive growth of population from the policy level since the 2050s, so that the country with a total population of about 10 billion people around [-] is relatively calm, so it does not have to be as inclined as the above-mentioned countries Huge amount of social resources to deal with the problem of excess population.

Judging from the data from the 21s to the 20s, those countries that have basically completed initial industrialization generally have 40% to 50.00% of their total population invested in industrial production.In contrast, those political entities that have entered the ranks of developed countries in the late twentieth century, the population engaged in the primary and secondary industries, that is, industrial and agricultural production, only accounts for 70.00% to 20.00% of the total population.

Intelligent and unmanned technology has undergone initial research and development at the end of the 21th century, gradually applied on a small scale in the early 21st century, and gradually spread to more industries after the 30s.In this process, the globalization process that started in the 70s and [-]s not only aimed to eliminate trade barriers, but also facilitated a more "scientific allocation" of capital and labor in creating surplus value. A process of accelerated diffusion of basic technologies and production methods.

If we look at factories with a more macroscopic perspective that have reached the level of technological content and profits that exceed the average level of the entire industry, such as automobile production, tobacco production, and electronic product production at the beginning of the 21st century, it is not difficult for us to find that in the next few decades, human beings will inevitably experience change.The above-mentioned industries at the top of large-scale and intensive production, compared with the number of global consumers, the total number of upstream and downstream industrial workers involved is extremely limited.

For example, if we take the communication device "mobile phone" commonly used by people in the early 21st century, it is an obvious example. In the 2030s, nearly 80 billion of the 60 billion people in the world use mobile phones on a daily basis, and the total population engaged in the mobile phone manufacturing industry in the world, as well as the upstream and downstream industries that directly cooperate with the industry, such as mining, transportation, publicity, sales, R&D The total number of people in such industries is less than 1000 million.Based on this ratio, the "mobile phone" industry only needs one-sixth of the global consumer population of this product to meet all production and service needs.

Another classic example is the tobacco industry.Judging from the situation in 2030, there are about 50 billion smokers in the world, and the annual demand for tobacco is about ten trillion finished cigarettes.The total population of the world engaged in tobacco growing, production, sales and related industries is similar to that of mobile phones, about 700 million people.About 50.00% of these populations, or nearly 400 million people, are farmers who grow tobacco leaves, while the population engaged in factory production is less than 300 million people worldwide.The more interesting data is that according to the automation and scale of the global tobacco industry at that time, half of the 300 million industrial workers engaged in cigarette production, that is, those large-scale regional tobacco companies provided more than 80.00% of the global tobacco production capacity.

Many developing countries and countries that have initially completed industrialization use state power and policy intervention to try to delay the unemployment that will inevitably be caused by large-scale intelligence and automation, as well as possible follow-up social problems.As we all know, in the process of globalization, it is difficult for a few countries to stop the pace of history. In 2043, a large number of unemployed people responded from countries such as I, V, N, and R, and the movement of tens of millions of people became the deepest memory of all mankind in the 21s.

In order to solve the inevitable problem of overpopulation and the rapid development of productivity, and to prevent the sparks between them from burning out the achievements of human development, the whole world has extended a sincere helping hand to these countries.Under the initiative of the five permanent members of the United Nations, after many rounds of negotiations and games, the United Nations finally decided to use the new global currency "credit points" to establish a fund of 500 trillion credit points to assist the unemployed around the world.

The impact of 2043 on future generations and its importance in the 21st century have been overshadowed in most history books by asteroid 2081 in 2973161.In this year, in addition to the new global currency and settlement mechanism "credit point" being determined as the only international currency in the future, there is also the world's first experimental commercial fusion power station in Shangchuan Town, ancient C country, put into use.

On the surface, some one-sided reports between 2043 and 2053 put the Shangchuan Fusion Power Station, which was put into use on March 2043, 3, as the fuse of the final discontent of those poor people that occurred in the second half of 1 .If we only look at the world's major stock markets and futures markets from 2043 to 2043, as well as the investment, credit, bills and other fields related to traditional energy projects, it is true that the practicality of the first commercial nuclear fusion has brought them a frenzy that almost collapsed. diarrhea.

Many people who don't know what's going on believe that the loss of funds from traditional energy industries, which used to account for a considerable proportion of the world's capital flows, has been transmitted to multiple industries in many fragile countries, resulting in much higher than expected unemployment, resulting in A wide range of social problems in these countries.Mumbai, New Delhi, Ho Chi Minh City, Thanh Hoa, Kano, Abujari, and Rio de Janeiro were in a mess during the campaign that lasted nearly half a year.

However, if we carefully analyze the world's major economies from 2033 to 2043 and the relevant economic data of these countries, we can draw different conclusions.

In the 80s of the twentieth century, Gu Lanlan's motherland, which had just started economic reforms, took advantage of its huge population base and decent literacy rate to take over the labor-intensive industries that were gradually marginalized in western developed countries.At that time, the level of science and technology in the world was at a juncture from the end of mechanization to intelligent transformation. At the beginning of the 21st century, some comments believed that when the country’s per capita income was too high to maintain a cost advantage in these labor-intensive industries after a few years, coupled with the country’s almost irreversible population aging problem, these industries would shift again To "emerging", "young" countries with "population advantages" such as country I, country V, country N, and country R.

Although in the 21s and 30s, some industries that had not been penetrated by intelligent and unmanned technologies did transfer from Gu Lanlan's motherland to these countries, but the scale was far less than that from the 80s to the 21st century This initial transfer.The fundamental reason is that the window of the development of world science and technology to labor-intensive industries has been closed along with the wave called "the fourth industrial revolution" by later generations. With the commercialization of nuclear fusion in 2043, it is just the last nail in the coffin for those manufacturing industries that are still wandering in the dream of traditional energy.

Marx pointed out in "Das Kapital" that the production process is mainly composed of three parts: power machine, transmission machine and working machine.Among them, working machines have always been aimed at replacing more labor and manpower since the beginning of crude tools and machinery such as spinning machines, hammers, and saws.With the faster advancement of intelligent and unmanned technology in the 21st century, the number of industrial workers who can supply daily products to 2030 billion people around the world will drop by nearly 2040% compared with the 80s.

2020年时全球从事第一、第二产业的人口总规模约为25亿人，而这个数字在2040年时下降到了不到8亿人。从当时的一些存档新闻来看，这8亿人中又有近70.00%集中在2043年发生大规模失业的这些国家。如果以当时的科技水平衡量，满足全球80亿人生活所需的第一、第二产业人口，仅需要不到3亿从业者。

At that time, almost all rational managers or leading groups of the country were well aware of the soaring productivity caused by unmanned and the unemployment problems that followed.Those economies that have become developed countries as early as the middle and late twentieth century, while enjoying the good life brought by the dividends of the first and second industrial revolutions, have focused more on the development of cutting-edge technology in the past 100 years and environmental issues.Different from developed countries, those late-developing countries, especially developing countries with extremely high population numbers and densities, will be in a dilemma after the 21s.

On the one hand, these countries need to use intensive labor production to accumulate wealth and digest the huge population accumulated by the long-term agricultural society.On the other hand, the decision makers in these countries are well aware of the level of technological development in the world, and when they cannot use strong administrative means to interfere with the vigorous birth desire of the domestic people, they can only use certain policies to delay those intelligent and unmanned production lines. Decentralized and infiltrated into wider and lower-level production departments.

These policy efforts have certainly achieved their results. Starting from 2025, under the continuous effect of such policies, the large-scale manufacturing and introduction of unmanned and intelligent production methods in the above-mentioned countries will be almost faster than those in the United States and Western Europe. Countries such as Country C, Country C, and J have been delayed by almost 20 years.The tragedy is that this kind of deceitful deception that treats the symptoms but not the root cause only delays the pain for nearly 20 years...

Although in the 21s of the 20st century, global political and economic isolationism once became the basic domestic and foreign policy tone of some countries in several governments, but such a situation can only affect the internal affairs and foreign affairs of the country for at most 15 to [-] years .The reason is that throughout the twentieth century, many global wars and cold wars have objectively broken down the internal and diplomatic barriers that almost all countries can "stand alone".And such an isolated policy trend of thought has given countries I, V, N, R, B and other countries breathing opportunities and policy flexibility in terms of intelligent industrial policies.Unfortunately, most countries have not seized such an opportunity.

In November 2044, the winter in New York, the ancient United States, came nearly 30 days earlier than usual.The first snow, which should usually fall around Christmas, fell on the black pavement of Manhattan in early November this year.Although most of the representatives from various countries participating in the United Nations emergency plenary meeting have lived in this city for many years, the early arrival of snow this time did not bring them much joy, but only added more troubles.

A month ago, member states of the African Union and ASEAN submitted a bailout package to the Security Council, with the aim of resolving the current predicament for those countries with large-scale social problems a year ago, and the crisis that will still exist for at least 30 years in the future.Over the past month, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other organizations involved in economics, currency, trade and cutting-edge technology, as well as representatives of various member states of the United Nations, as well as leaders and legislative bodies of various countries with full authority Delegates gathered in New York.Nearly a thousand representatives and experts conducted intense group discussions on the "Global Currency and Future Economic Reform Program" proposed by the African Union and ASEAN during this month.After all, it has been almost 100 years, and it has been a long time since human beings have gathered so many people represented by so many countries for the same thing, and have a high probability of beneficial bargaining on their own future affairs.

Finally, on November 2044, 11, another heavy snow fell in New York.This heavy snow covered Brooklyn and New Jersey next door with a foot of white lens. Of course, the experienced New York City government did not let this heavy snow affect the normal life of citizens.In the afternoon of the same day, it was time for all UN members to vote on the final revision of the "Global Currency and Future Economic Reform Program".Prior to this, on November 29, the five permanent members had unanimously approved the plan.Judging from the situation at the time, it cannot be said that the ensuing general vote was some kind of "going through the motions" behavior, because this reform involving 11 billion people in the world and more than 23 countries needs to be confirmed by political entities representing at least 80% of the population. Authorization can really give it the most complete legal basis.The vote recorded in history, under the solemn choice of representatives from 160 countries around the world, reached a pass rate of 80.00%.Such a pass rate has not been reached until the 167th year of the cosmic era.Not even the vote on the asteroid that would have wiped out humanity more than 90.00 years later had such unanimity.

Here, we cannot quote the full text of the "Program", because this set of documents that will affect the development of human civilization for hundreds or even thousands of years, even the relatively shortest Chinese version has about 50 characters.At that time, the drafters, revisioners and voters of the "Proposal" only hoped that it could bring about 3000 years of stable development for mankind.And what they didn't expect was that the historic reforms on the global currency paved the way for human beings to enter the post-cosmic economic system in the next [-] years.

Gu Lanlan was born ten years after that profound global change.
