History of Human Space Exploitation

Chapter 7 Yunjin Star

Although less than 800 years have passed, the meaning of the planet name "Yunjin" is difficult to verify. In the planet-related entries, the description of the name includes "Cloud Ford" and "YZ", which are almost unrelated. Phrases and abbreviations for can be found.However, some scholars in the tobacco industry believe that these two cosmic standard Chinese characters should come from the first characters of the Chinese names of two important tobacco leaf producing areas on the ancient earth.In such a situation, in the past many years, various languages ​​originating from the earth have been interpenetrating, mutually repelling, and co-existing with each other for a long time, and then in the process of mutual reference, the original meaning of many single etymological words has long been lost in the mud pit of history. middle.

Yunjin Star is worth mentioning because it was developed in the early days of the universe. In the era when people needed high-habitability planets to build more settlements, this planet with a Kamin index of 998.7 was used by the International Tobacco Association as 390 Tons of gold bought 290 nine years of development rights.After 30 years of full development by the Tobacco Association, the planet created incalculable wealth for the Association during the subsequent 260 years of use, and enabled them to use high joint certification credits three times in 536, 835, and 1134 of the Universal Era The renewal tax and business tax at the point successfully postponed the development rights, and everyone believed that the association would definitely sign a fifth 210-nine-year planet use contract with the interstellar government six years later in 290.

After the tragic Great Recession in the 22nd century, tobacco should have been strictly investigated, eliminated, and swept into the dustbin of history together with other alkaloids, hallucinogens, and other addictive or strong withdrawal drugs.However, there are 200 billion smokers in all human beings, and this number is at least an order of magnitude more than the sum of the number of people dependent on all addictive substances except alcohol. The opposition still allows the rulers to compromise.But fortunately, all the large and small poppy plantations and chemical drug manufacturing factories and workshops on the earth were wiped out by the army. Vehicles from the solar system to outer space are rummaged upside down in Neptune's orbit for any seeds that might be used to replant restricted alkaloid plants.

With all will and resolute means, the last human being in history who tried drugs containing opiates passed away peacefully on Star Fastov in 103 Universal Era, which means the tug-of-war between drugs and this population has lasted for thousands of years It ends with the triumph of humanity.Tobacco, a plant product with a longer history, devouring more lives, and evaporating more wealth, is carried by humans and spread to the world like a tumor growing in the brain stem because of interests, compromise and conformity. universe.

A business plan that has already been made public and included in historical materials tells us that these later generations, when the planet 203 was just discovered through the 1-7-23 star tunnel in 297239 of the Universal Era, the Tobacco Association has predicted that in the next few hundred years The explosive growth of the population and the risks and anxieties arising from interstellar exploration will cause the use and consumption of tobacco, a traditionally used sedative, to increase geometrically. likely to meet future needs.

Human society in the 230s of the Universal Era has not yet introduced a joint certification credit point system based on the weighted calculation of each planet’s production capacity, population, resource abundance, and precious metal reserves. When 1 seven tons of gold, 390 three tons of iridium, and 150 tons of silver were given to the coalition government from galaxies, people were amazed at the association's wealth beyond expectations.

The kamin index as high as 999.7 is enough to show that the environment of Yunjin star is friendly to carbon-based organisms. There are 5 planets in the galaxy where the star is located, except Yunjin, 3 gaseous planets that shield foreign meteorites and asteroids, and 1 earth-like planet. The planets are all outside the habitable zone. Three natural satellites with a diameter of 3 to 60.00 times the mass of the moon provide just the right tidal force for the slightly alkaline ocean covering 7.13% of the planet's surface area with an average pH value of 29, and cooperate with complex factors such as ocean currents and geothermal heat It has formed monsoon and rainfall conditions comparable to several traditional tobacco leaf producing areas on the earth.At the same time, the radiation provided by the O-type main sequence star similar to the sun, the planet's rotation deflection angle of nearly 37 degrees, the almost perfect circular orbit, and the rotation period of 80.00 hours make Yunjin Star 300% of the world seven located in 700 The land between [-] meters and [-] meters can have [-] hours of sunshine per year, and can get a temperature difference of up to [-] degrees Celsius between sunrise and sunset all year round.

The above-mentioned "space geographical environment" is excellent, combined with the formation process that is very similar to the earth, and this planet is actually in a period that has just gradually recovered from the mass extinction of the ice age that lasted almost 5000 years. It has not had enough time to evolve, and the average level of soil nutrient abundance has greatly exceeded that of the earth.Such a planet with an excellent environment would surely become a happy home for no less than 100 billion people, but the absurd humans still contracted it to commercial organizations in the end.

There are many factors. On the one hand, the precious metals that paid for the expenses at that time could enable the coalition government, which was almost bankrupt due to the leap forward development in the first 200 years, to survive the financial crisis.On the other hand, it may be because of the historical softening of the lobbied Gonggun Zhugong Ergen at that time, and also because the 200 billion smokers still have a huge influence on the authorities.

Indeed, in the fifth large-scale general vote in human history, these "smoking people" played a decisive role in that referendum.Based on these inevitable and accidental factors, the model of Yunjinxing has become a swan song in human history to this day.Since then, no planet with a habitability higher than 996.7 has been granted to a single commercial group for commercial development for a single purpose.

In order to adapt to industrialized production, the high-quality arable land between the Tropic of Cancer of Yunjin Star, accounting for 70.00% of the world's total land area of ​​31 million square kilometers, and covered by the runoff area of ​​24 major rivers in the world, is planned as a flat tobacco farm and Later natural fermentation warehouse.This extravagant planting method, which does not adopt the three-dimensional planting technique that has become popular since the 100th century, has been attacked and criticized by relevant environmentalists.The planting area is divided into four rotation areas in an orderly manner to ensure that the fertility of the land does not require excessive manual intervention and maintenance at least every [-] years, and the land in the fallow period of tobacco leaves provides sufficient food for the small population of the planet, Food-grade industrial alcohol raw materials and food raw materials also make Yunjin Star the fifth largest grain exporter and the third largest poultry meat exporter in Star Area B.

Possibly due to various social and scientific factors, after the initial development of Yunjin Planet around 330 Era, the birth rate of the planet has been maintained at 800% for nearly 1000 years since then It is about 1000 million people all the year round, and it is the world with the lowest population density among all non-modified naturally inhabited planets today.These [-] million agricultural technicians, mechanical technicians, production administrators, university, middle and primary school teachers, government managers, business tycoons, jobless people, research and development researchers, safety and security personnel, space station shift personnel, and professional tobacco smokers invited from all inhabitant worlds , are arranged between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle, in the city circles composed of industrial areas, commercial areas and airports.

The tobacco planting area of ​​7000 million square kilometers is generally divided into planting areas of oriental tobacco, burley tobacco, cigar tobacco, redecured tobacco and natural flavor raw materials according to the proportion of demand.Developed from the earth, 5000 million professional robots are carefully arranged for seed selection, breeding, planting, maintenance, and harvesting programming, and are specially designed to refine and optimize programs for various single-product tobacco leaves, and are deployed in various farms.

Every year, 300 billion tons of newly harvested tobacco leaves are repeated in the process that existed in the 20th century: destemming, threshing, re-roasting, and storage. The stored and naturally fermented leaves are sent to fully automatic production from silk making to packaging. Seven factories around the world, the finished tobacco is directly transported from the airport to the orbital cargo space station, and sent to 100 inhabited worlds in more than [-] galaxies.

As early as the 350th year of the cosmic era when the construction of Yunjin Star was completed, the production capacity of finished cigarettes on the entire planet has reached 500 trillion cigarettes per year, matching the 1200 billion smokers in the entire human universe 5000 years later.Since the beginning of the 21st century, major tobacco factories all over the world began to "intelligentize" and "black light" transformation, nearly 500 years of iterations have made the relevant equipment in this industry more flexible and closer to the limit of high-speed development.The factory on Yunjin Star has become a model and benchmark of light industrial manufacturing from agricultural products to industrial commodities in the human universe since its completion.Although the tourism industry is not specifically developed, every year the luxurious space reception station of L1 and various luxury or simple hotels on land will always receive millions of industrial officials, industrial investors, scholars and scholars in related fields from various planets. Protesters and vandals masquerading as other identities.

In this era, tobacco packaging is one of the only remaining items that still use paper as an auxiliary packaging. Every 25 finished cigarettes need to use an average of five kilograms of various paper auxiliary materials for rolling and packaging, so 70.00 billion yuan per year 24% of the tons of various paper products need to be self-sufficient by the industrialized forests in the cold temperate zone of Yunjin Star, which can be produced in an average of [-] local months.

There are still 210 and 2000 years left until the planet renews the use right to the star area government. No one is worried that the human universe with [-] billion smokers will make the association unable to continue operating here due to a shortage of funds.The long-term dominance of one family, while maintaining vigilance for a long time, exhausted all means to make the slightly larger competitors withdraw from the industry in time, and also enabled Yunjinxing to maintain a monopoly position in business.

The gossamer of the crisis seems to be spreading in the human universe. The too fast opening of star tunnels and the discovery of more galaxies have continuously expanded the boundaries of human footprints in the universe.More inhabited planets and galaxies are obviously beyond the communication efficiency and transportation efficiency under the current technical conditions. Such hairsprings may be gathered into a thin air mass that can be felt after hundreds or even thousands of years, but due to many Given the constraints of the rules of physics and mathematics, such a day is inevitable.In such a future that is bound to be full of violent wars, whether a planet like Yunjin established purely for commercial purposes will be able to save itself or be crushed to pieces by historical chariots, maybe even the Psychohistorical Association is hard to predict.

Looking at the nearly 2000-year history of Yunjin Star from today's point of view, it is indeed a film that integrates human industrial production, organizational management, and commercial operations, and at the same time can wander between various regimes in the human universe in various turbulent periods for a long time. model.Although from 700 to 800 of the universe era, the early tobacco industry association lost control of Yunjin due to the decline of the earth, but in the next thousand years, the ownership of the planet changed hands several times. Or the commercial monopoly of the earth has not been shaken.

Although the Yunjin planet was destroyed by the inevitable main-sequence helium flash in 2791 of the cosmic era, the last planet owner, the Seventh Sector City Industrial Development Group, still took away 17 trillion joint credit points from here. Cash, and a stockpile of tobacco products that is enough to consume the entire human universe for nearly ten years in the future.During the 460 years that Yunjin Star has been in operation, it has left some experience and scientific research achievements for human beings, which are still quite valuable wealth in many fields.Therefore, in the next 50 years, the Seventh Star District City Industrial Development Group compiled the non-sensitive materials previously stored in the archives and libraries of Yunjin Central into "Yunjin History", which is the history of the entire universe in the year 2843 of the cosmic era. Bestseller No.1, and has been at the top of the list for seventeen consecutive months.

The editorial committee of "The History of Human Universe Development" applied to the Development Group for access to the sensitive archives of Yunjin Star when the "History of Development" was established and obtained permission. This part of the content was included in the third chapter of "History of Development" section.
