Chapter 135: Zhiyuan City
[This chapter may be a little boring, but the author has some imagination for the future city, I hope you can see for yourself]
"It's here! This is the largest city of Zhiyuanxing, and it is also the planetary capital of Zhiyuanxing, Zhiyuan City! When Liu Nianfeng and the others got off the bus, the scene they saw in front of them made Liu Nianfeng feel unbelievable.
Although Liu Nianfeng studied at the Zhiyuan Starship Girl Academy and often consulted a lot of information on the Internet, he focused on the various theoretical knowledge of the Starship Girl and the Star Admiral, and did not know much about the human imperial society at this time, and even less about the Zhiyuan Star.
Liu Nianfeng only knows that Zhiyuan Star is located in the Qingzhou Star District, one of the 12 administrative star regions of the Human Galactic Empire, and is an administrative residence star, with a total population of 4 billion, and is the seventh administrative residence star in the total population of the Qingzhou Star District, and Zhiyuan City is the capital of Zhiyuan Star.
In Liu Nianfeng's speculation, as the new capital of the entire Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan City must be a super metropolis with a population of hundreds of millions and an area several times higher than that of Yanjing City in the Earth Era. When Liu Nianfeng really stood on the bus stop at a height of 1,000 meters and looked down on the entire Zhiyuan City, he found that Zhiyuan City was actually a small city.
Compared with Yanjing City in the Earth Age, even the prefecture-level cities in some provinces are not comparable, but the area is similar to that of a county seat, that is, hundreds of square kilometers, which subverts the cognition of Zhiyuan Star in Liu Nianfeng's heart.
"What's wrong, Admiral? Why keep looking below? Guanghui found that Liu Nianfeng had been lying on the railing and looking at Zhiyuan City below, so he asked very strangely.
"Oh! I just can't understand why the capital of an administratively inhabited planet is only so small in size! Liu Nianfeng's thumb and index finger opened slightly, forming a small circle, which was a metaphor for the narrowness of Zhiyuan City.
"What's so strange about that?" Guanghui glanced at Liu Nian Feng inexplicably, "It's not like the Earth Age now, everything needs to be transported in physical space, so the city is getting bigger and bigger!" Now as long as there is a quantum transmission phone, anything can be transmitted directly, who wants to crowd in those crowded places! ”
Hearing Guanghui's words, Liu Nianfeng was a little inexplicable, but Liu Nianfeng also knew that it was not appropriate for him to ask more now, so he took the initiative to take out his personal terminal, and finally figured out the reason for the information he consulted while walking.
The reasons for the rising urban population in the Earth Age are complex, but at the root of it, it is the talent and logistics effects of cities. Because there are more and more talents in big cities, because the logistics system in big cities is more convenient, all kinds of important resources are piled up and so on.
To put it more clearly, everyone wants to be closer to each other, that is, if you live in a big city, you can find better job opportunities, buy more quality goods, and see more amazing things, so more and more people want to stay in the big city, and as the population increases, the big city has to continue to expand and become bigger and bigger!
But in the cosmic era after 5000 years, it is completely different, because of the development of virtual technology, the communication and exchange between people has completely got rid of the face-to-face way, as long as you enter the virtual space, you can work and communicate exactly the same as in reality, there will be no difference.
And even more important is the invention of the quantum telephone, which has been hailed by mankind as one of the greatest inventions in 5,000 years, capable of directly converting items into quantum streams and transporting them directly to places thousands of miles away...... Or it can be simply understood as a teleportation array, which can teleport all the dead things in the sky.
In fact, living people can also be transmitted through quantum telephones, and your body is still very intact after teleportation, and there will be no change compared to before the teleportation. However, the quantum teleportation array cannot transmit human souls, so the living creatures only transmit a physical body.
Therefore, the quantum teleportation array is strictly forbidden for humans to use, otherwise the official will not be responsible for the death.
With these two crucial inventions, the distance between humans has been erased, and a salaryman living in Europe can go directly to work at a company in Asia through virtual technology, and then take over an Apple from a boss living in Asia...... In this case, office workers certainly don't need to be crammed into one city.
In addition, with the development of transportation technology, the actual distance between Zhiyuan City and Zhiyuan Starship Girls Academy is equivalent to half of the Earth's equator, and it can be transported by high-speed suspension bus planes, and this distance can be reached in only 15 minutes...... This is also due to the speed limit on the surface of the planet, if the speed of the hovercraft is not limited, it only takes two minutes to circle the entire equator of Zhiyuan.
In the 21st century, people often say that the global village describes the evolution of communication means to make communication between people easier and more convenient, and two people living in Huaxia and the United States can easily complete real-time communication through the Internet. But in reality, there is not a village on earth, and you can't just run to other people's houses to sit in the same way as you would in the village.
And 5,000 years later, the planet has really become a small village, whether it is to meet or meet people directly, the better things to buy, it takes no more than five minutes to get from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere, this is the real global village!
Now that it has reached this level of convenience, there is certainly no need for human beings to be crammed into a city anymore, and human beings prefer to build their homes in various scenic places on Zhiyuanxing...... This place is above the sea, cliffs, or abysses. As long as you have a flat piece of land, you can build your own house, and you don't have to think about travel, location, transportation, school districts, etc., this is not a problem.
Therefore, the entire population of Zhiyuan Star is distributed in various locations of Zhiyuan Star like evenly sprinkled rice grains, and only a small part of human beings live in cities like Zhiyuan City...... And cities like Zhiyuan City are gathered more for the purpose of administering the entire planet, as well as controlling and maintaining the most important facilities on the planet, such as quantum cores and antimatter energy bases.
Zhiyuan City is a purely administrative city, responsible for the entire government work of Zhiyuan Star, with a population of about 30,000, which is not even comparable to the population of a county-level city in China.

"Where are we going now?" Stepping on the road of Zhiyuan City, Liu Nianfeng couldn't help but feel a little dazed, his original purpose when he came to Zhiyuan City was to take a look at the largest city in Zhiyuan Star, but when he found that this city was only a county-level city, he didn't know what he had to see.
"Let's go to the Internet café!" Guanghui said excitedly, and when the name of the Internet café appeared, all the other girls except for Liu Nian Feng were excited.
"Damn! It's just an Internet connection, is your Internet addiction so big? Liu Nianfeng complained secretly.
