Beneath Deep Space

Yu Yifeng thought for a while and raised the priority of mining to another level...

In the process of formulating the plan, he increasingly felt that one of the big problems was that the population was too small.

There is a serious shortage of labor force, only 50,000 people, which is really too few.

Although the degree of automation in factories is quite good now, it still requires a small number of people to manage it, and machinery such as excavators must be operated by people. These various numbers of people add up to a very large number.

For this kind of heavy industry, the best way is to research more advanced and intelligent automated robots to replace human labor. Some laboratories are already working on these intelligent development projects, and Yu Yifeng only hopes that they will make some good progress.

"Developing a large number of robots can replace human labor. However, there are still some jobs that cannot be replaced by robots... These positions must also be filled with talents."

Yu Yifeng was a little upset when he thought of these positions.

For example: doctors, teachers, reporters, police, etc. These positions cannot be replaced by robots in a short time and require a lot of human resources.

Also, the most annoying thing is that with the birth of new babies, the labor force will be greatly reduced! Some women are pregnant. This part of the labor force must be excluded. It is impossible to let them do heavy work, right?

After giving birth to a child, they have to spend several years raising and taking care of the child. This job cannot be completed by robots. Maybe it can be done in the future... but humans are not yet at that level.

If calculated based on a 5% fertility rate, 2,500 children would be born a year! At least 2,500 women have lost their labor force. In this way, 5% of the labor force has been lost in one year. What will happen in two or three years? Children must be at least three years old before they can go to kindergarten...

Not only that, in order to welcome the large number of newborns, the number of doctors and nurses must also increase to ensure that no medical accidents occur.

In the next few years, the number of teachers will need to be increased, starting from kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and all the way to university.

It can be predicted that in the next few years, although the entire population will increase, the labor force that can actually be utilized will gradually decrease.

This... Yu Yifeng knocked on the table hard and shook his head helplessly. A newborn was a must, but the social burden it brought was too heavy. He really had a headache.

This is the painful period of demographic transition. Yu Yifeng frowned in embarrassment. In the past few years or even decades, he must grit his teeth and get through it. As long as he gets through it, the new batch of children will grow up, and the population base will It will expand and the structure will gradually become more reasonable...

"It would be great if there were 100,000 or 200,000 people. In this case, human resources would not be so embarrassed..."

Yu Yifeng thought so.

But soon, he scolded himself for being too greedy. Although there are only 50,000 people now, their overall quality is so high that it is rare in the world. If the population is large and there are all kinds of people, it may not be so easy to manage.

From the moon to Mars, Yu Yifeng is very satisfied with the spiritual attitude and mobility of the entire new human civilization.

In all kinds of troubles, many people can actively save themselves and even sacrifice themselves. It can be said that the overall quality of the entire civilization has been greatly improved in crisis after crisis.

There is really no way to fault the spirit of unity and work enthusiasm of the new human civilization. Yu Yifeng is already very satisfied.

What's more, there are nearly 30,000 top scientists on the entire Noah, and they are all geniuses selected from all over the world, with an average IQ of over 140. This number is really quite a lot. Everyone is smart and very easy to manage.

If we compare the new human civilization with the once most powerful country, the United States, what will be the result?

The proportion of PhDs in the United States is less than 1% of the total population. Excluding the large number of PhDs in economics, EMBA, etc., the number of PhDs who are truly capable of engaging in scientific research is only 0.6%, or two million people.

And these two million people will be diverted from all walks of life after graduation, and they will choose to join large companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. As for the number of people who are actually engaged in national-level scientific research, there may be only about one in ten, or about 200,000 people.

Compared with the 200,000 scientists in the United States, the 30,000 scientists on board Noah are at a quantitative disadvantage, but they have a qualitative advantage. Because these 30,000 people are carefully selected elites from all over the world, (including the United States itself), they are truly one to ten!

Scientific research has never been won by numbers, but by quality. 99% of the world's knowledge is created by 1% of people.

Although Americans are awesome, are they better than the elites in the world combined?

The quality of these 30,000 scientists is definitely higher than the 200,000 in the United States! The remaining 20,000 people, although not scientists, are also top talents in various industries. Their abilities are really very, very high, and they can no longer be picky.

Therefore, the scientific research capabilities of the new human civilization are very strong, at least three-quarters of the level of the entire United States. Whether it is Professor Ding Yidong, Dr. Felix, Dr. Roman, or the geologist Dimo ​​just now, they are all famous beings.

Many people are national elites. Otherwise, they are not qualified to go to the moon.

There are other chemists, biologists, physicists, etc., all of whom are top-notch talents... The scientific research capabilities of the entire Noah are absolutely unrivaled!

Yu Yifeng's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something. In the current scientific community of Noah, there is still a vague saying: "The science and technology of our new human civilization not only did not decline after the explosion of the earth, but accelerated its development." reached the level of 10 years!”

Why? The main reason is the integration of science and technology in various countries.

Although science has no borders, scientists have nationalities. It is impossible for them to share the country's secret technology with others.

These 30,000 scientists are all leaders in their fields. Many of them have conducted high-end research for the country and accumulated a lot of experience and technology. But under normal circumstances, these secrets will never be shared with peers.

But now, everything is different. Countries have become a thing of the past. There are no secrets. Scientific exchanges are the most important thing.

Therefore, the Chinese contributed their high-speed rail technology, the Japanese contributed their electronic components technology, the French contributed their nuclear power, the Germans contributed their automated manufacturing...and of course the Americans, they contributed more All kinds of things...

Don't underestimate this kind of exchange. These technologies were originally national-level secrets. Each one of them requires a lot of experience and time. It can't be obtained without decades of research!

Just like China's high-speed rail technology, other countries are very coveted, but even the most powerful country, the United States, will have to study it for twenty years before it can catch up. Making these things requires a lot of patent accumulation and there are no shortcuts.

But now, all high-end technologies have been made public, and they all belong to the new human civilization!

The benefits of this are obvious. For example, the Chinese have been studying engines for decades, but they have not achieved particularly good results. Now the Americans have directly taken out all the data and taught it to the Chinese for free.

Not only that, Mao Zi also showed off the achievements of his country and shouted: "Look at me! Look at me!"

Problems that cause headaches in one country have often been solved in another country. This kind of exchange has had a huge impact. All scientists are studying tirelessly, which has raised the overall scientific research ability to a higher level.

It can be said that the new human civilization has inherited almost all the top technologies on the entire earth. On the whole, it is reasonable to say that it surpasses the technological level of any country for more than 10 years...

Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng slammed the table. Communication alone is not enough, you must experiment and practice!

Then, give them enough resources, sufficient energy, and massive industries to maximize their imagination and let the technology of the entire new human race explode again!

This is Yu Yifeng's personal idea. After all, he wants to push the entire new human civilization to extreme wealth within a few years.

Extreme wealth is only the first step for a starry sky civilization.

Since the population is too small, only automation, intelligence, and mechanization can allow robots to replace human positions in large numbers. Yu Yifeng picked up the entire plan and thought about it several times. He felt that it was basically almost ready for implementation.

He moved very quickly, and next was the House of Representatives meeting...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference room was filled with various members of the parliament and heads of various enterprises and major research institutes. They will participate in the formulation and discussion of this plan.

"Everyone, my preliminary plan is this. Let's take a look first."

At the House of Representatives meeting, Yu Yifeng sent the plan to the computers of all participants.

Many people couldn't wait to look at the screen. Although they had watched it several times beforehand, they were shocked by this grand and huge plan every time they watched it.

"Let me briefly say that there are three major goals. First, vigorously strengthen the productivity of Noah, whether it is heavy industry or light industry.

In order to achieve this goal, we will prioritize the third industrial revolution, and major enterprises and research institutes will give priority to serving industrial production. To this end, we will also establish new factories and new laboratories to achieve complete automation of industrial production! "

Complete automation refers to industrial manufacturing that is completely automated by machinery and does not require any manpower during the process. Humans are only responsible for design and final monitoring.

"Second, improve people's living environment. In the most preliminary goal, we are going to open up a two hundred square kilometers of living space on Noah and establish a preliminary ecological environment system. We want to create an environment similar to the earth. living environment."

Upon hearing the news, Dr. Roman smiled with satisfaction. Fortunately, this great scientist did not die from the Martian virus.

Now that he heard that the ecosystem project was finally mentioned in the bill, Roman felt quite satisfied and nodded slightly.

"Third, build more public service facilities, schools, hospitals, libraries, gymnasiums, parks, etc. Everyone knows that our new human civilization is about to welcome a new group of members. They deserve good medical care and Education, don’t you think?”

Among the congressmen below, there were also a few who were going to be parents. When they heard this, they all laughed happily.

Immediately, Yu Yifeng explained the details in detail, "Okay, do you have any objections? If not, let me talk about the specific plans and arrangements. If there is anything wrong, you can point out..."

In the noisy discussion, the plan was implemented bit by bit. Many plans were proposed during the "big construction project" a few months ago, but were rejected due to limitations of spacecraft resources.

But in this industrial revolution, such a plan has become a reality!

Such as the "Kirov Industrial Factory", "New Humanity Ore Refinery", and various large-scale industrial laboratories, etc., all undertake very important tasks. These plans made the people sitting below extremely excited. Many people's blood surged and their breathing became heavy.

"First set a small goal: to significantly increase industrial capacity to a level of doubling in six months!" Yu Yifeng explained solemnly.

He was not joking, doubling in six months, this is exponential growth! It is 4 times in 1 year, 16 times in 2 years, and 64 times in 3 years! This is growing faster and faster!

"Doubling in six months, do you understand? We must move towards this goal!" Yu Yifeng said solemnly.

No one thought he was joking, but applauded enthusiastically. Many people are fanatical. If all goals can be achieved, the new human civilization will definitely undergo a qualitative change!

In fact, this goal is still quite difficult, no, it is very difficult! But no one cares about this issue at all. Difficulties are meant to be overcome, and goals are meant to be achieved. If you get cold feet if it's a little difficult, then why not engage in a crappy industry or a crappy project?

What's more, scientists and engineers have no shrinking mentality at all. They want challenges and truly realize these big projects and goals!

I'm stuck and can't write anything for a long time. Today there is only this chapter, which is close to 4,000 words... I'm sorry, the one in the evening is gone. It's not that I don't work hard, it's just that I'm really stuck.

I want to think about how to write about industrialization later...

Finally, I would like to thank three book friends, Immortal Legend, Mu You and Moonlight Sadness, for their rewards.
