Deep Space Planet Leader

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like shuttles...

It’s 5534. The 30th year after the Gliese people left on the "Earth Era", humans came In the 74th year of this Star Domain...

In the following 30 years, a total of four major events have occurred.

The first is the change in personnel. Captain Zhao of hair grey-white is a little uncomfortable with his work ability because of the decline of energy, and he is ready to retreat to the second line...

The position of captain can be said to be the highest position of the entire civilization, responsible for the overall planning of contacts and cooperation between various departments. Since the development of civilization is still in its infancy, the captain has to dabble in all walks of life. This alone is very difficult. If you don’t even understand the report submitted below, what kind of captain should you be a captain? ?

In addition, there is only one political party in the entire civilization. In order to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the policy, each term of this post is twenty years (according to the Earth civilization extension method, the theoretical per capita lifespan can be Reached the age of 322), the current constitution does not specify a specific number of re-election terms.

Unless the captain has made serious mistakes during his tenure, he will be dismissed by the Science Council.

In the handover at this time, Zhang Yuan from the New Civilization Development Department is also the most suitable candidate. No matter in terms of seniority, prestige, or ability, there is no more suitable successor than him.

Relevant voting is easily passed.

When the transfer of power was handed over to the Junior Brother, Zhao Qingfeng heavily sighed in relief, feeling that the burden on his body was just let go...

This mood is very subtle ......

Inheritance is also an extremely important task. From Professor Qi Yuanshan in the 22nd century, to the generation of Captain Ma, to Academician Ding, Zhao Qingfeng, and then to Zhang Yuan in the 56th century, how many hardships and difficulties have been encountered in the middle has been unimaginable......

It is a great honor that, with the struggle of generations, the New Civilization School has grown from a small seed to a real towering tree.

Recalling this period of history, Zhao Qingfeng sighed. When he set off on Earth, they were almost peers, but now, he is almost the oldest group of millions of people. Up. Because he had already taken over this position during the hibernation period, dozens of sober periods more than others.

At that time, life extension technology was not as superb as it is now.

When you get older and extend your life, the effect will be much worse. People in their twenties and thirties are fundamentally different from those in fifty-sixty who get injections and medicine for maintenance.

So, compared with Zhang Yuan, Li Zhendong and the others, Zhao Qingfeng's aging rate is also faster, and he has lived a short life for more than a hundred years.

However, there is nothing to complain about this matter. I already knew the result.

People have birth, aging, sickness and death. This in itself is a kind of natural cycle. Some things are gained, but some other things are needed.

If a civilization wants to progress, someone has to pay, and the future of civilization must be in the hands of youngster.

According to Zhao Qingfeng’s own words, “It’s very lucky to be able to see the current achievements of the new civilization alive, and slowly get on the right track.”

The same group of retired elderly people There are probably more than one thousand six hundred people. In fact, most of the people who are aging faster are the original high-level civilizations, including several former deputy captains, as well as a group of expert scholars and so on.

Retiring to the second tier also has the benefits of retreating to the second tier. At least it is a lot of leisure at work, and there is no need to pay for that many labor. You can enjoy the retirement life of the elderly in peace.

New Civilization has a very advanced pension system. These 1,600 retirees are all gathered in a pension community with a dedicated robotic recuperation team.

This group of elderly people are idle people. When they are free, they can take a look at the latest technological developments, experience the children’s campus life, and educate the next generation; occasionally participate in the entire civilization At high-level meetings, or doing some intellectual work, human intelligence declines much more slowly than physical strength...

This kind of retirement also seems to be interesting.

Even more how, a large number of internal policies of the new civilization are determined through calculations. The property of officials is public, and their power is also very effectively controlled.

In order to ensure fairness and justice, even the appointment and removal of some middle-level cadres are determined by the standard of "civilization contribution", not designated by senior leaders.

There are also quite a lot of mathematics talents in this area. How to better measure a person's "civilization contribution", if it is as fair and fair as possible, is the main research direction of these mathematicians.

Of course, the top leader like Zhang Yuan is still voted by middle-level cadres. He will have some special rights in case of incalculable or emergency situations.

……

In addition to the changes in personnel appointments and removals, there is a second major event. The birth rate of the entire civilized population begins to decline slowly, from the very beginning of 5%, slowly decreasing To the current level of 1.2%.

The population growth rate of 5% is too high. If it is placed in Earth civilization, it is equivalent to 5 children for every couple!

Now that the population base has reached ten million, it is not appropriate to increase the population violently. The base figure has gone up, and the absolute growth value of 1.2% in one year is a child of 120,000, which is much more than the original 5%.

Even if the current population is still not enough for the development of various industries, there are no existing constraints that exist all the time. Some simple service industries and handicrafts can be powered by intelligent robots. Fully replace.

In addition, the emergence of the "fully automatic universal factory" has greatly increased the automated production capacity and reduced the number of industrial population required. The technology of Level 2 Civilization Peak is indeed stronger than that of Earth Civilization. After 30 years of arduous reverse engineering, the areas that can be cracked are almost cracked. These technologies derived from alien civilizations began to be used in all walks of life.

So, in the case of basically meeting the needs, in order to maintain long-term population health, and taking into account the current higher and higher average lifespan, the future population growth rate will be controlled to 0.5%-1% Around.

More importantly...According to the calculation of New Civilization History, the population of less than 50 million is a relatively healthy state after the entire administrative system is put into operation.

Currently, the dynamic planned economy is still adopted instead of the traditional market economy. The civilized action brought by the planned economy is very strong, but it also requires the government to have a very strong overall planning ability, otherwise it is easy to be like Like the Soviet Union, development is uneven.

One million people, ten million people and 100 million people are calculated in completely different ways.

According to Zhang Yuan's estimation, the population of 50 million will be the limit of the current algorithm. If this population size is exceeded, the entire civilization will inevitably be affected by "Parkinson's Law".

Parkinson's law is another name for "bureaucracy", and is known as one of the three major discoveries of Western culture in the 20th century. It can also be called "official disease", "tissue paralysis" or "Big Enterprise Disease".

The main meaning is that because of human selfishness, mediocre managers tend to find more mediocre people as assistants, so as not to affect their status. By analogy, a system of bloated institutions, superfluous people, wrangling with each other, and low efficiency has been formed.

At present, the data monitoring system of the new civilization is very powerful and basically eliminates this phenomenon, but the population it can control is limited. If the population increases significantly, loopholes in this system can always be found, and the organizational efficiency of the entire civilization will decrease instead.

even more how, in some fields, the long-term lack of population is conducive to economic activity and the long-term struggle of citizens.

The reason why we started to control the growth rate with a population of more than 10 million is because the population thing must be sufficiently forward-looking. Waiting for 30 to 50 million people to control it will easily lead to the aging of the population structure.化.

For the realization of the new civilization of robot public support, it is a very simple matter to control the population growth rate. It is enough to give birth to fewer babies from artificial wombs.
