There is no doubt that the mentality of the moon people who would rather live in a cage than see all the things and be ready to go into exile at any time is no longer normal, and the functioning of society is also deformed.

But the outer city-states only guided to a certain extent, but did not stop it. The power of a group with this kind of fear is terrifying, and the production capacity of 2.7 billion people is in many ways several times that of the past 6 billion lunar people, which is not a personal experience, it is really hard to believe.

On the planet's side, the high-pressure rule of the Troubled Management Society finally paid off, and 600 million people completed the construction of the Super Hive on the 73rd day.

This artificial creation can be seen clearly in space, after all, it encompasses almost the entire Sichuan Basin. At present, people are further using its internal space to establish one after another planting area, breeding area, industrial area, living area, commercial area and so on.

This is actually a unitized process, and it is the same design concept as the moon side, but because the outer city-states have invested more heavily here, and some infrastructure materials are different, the speed is relatively faster, and the internal diversity is also higher.

Compared to the Difficulty Management Committee, the refugee camps have not changed much. At least outwardly, there are no major changes, what was three months ago and what it is now.

Of course, this is not because they are willing to sit and wait for death, but because the overall operation is inefficient.

It can be said that all along, their labor and consumption are on the same level. It's like on average, the work done a day is just enough to get two meals, so it is difficult to get other improvements and promotions except to fill the stomach.

There are many reasons for this problem, the main one being high consumption and low cost too much.

In modern times, workers must use technology to enhance labor efficiency in order to support the consumption of the entire civilization, including meeting their own needs, as well as feeding the army, running public facilities, and supporting the exploiters.

Due to the invasion of alien organisms, it not only broke the normal social order, but also caused losses to the production system.

In order to keep people occupied, and because of the lack of advanced production tools, the camp managers replaced efficient machinery with inefficient manpower.

The simplest example, an excavator is comparable to the work efficiency of 30 people, the excavator is resting, 30 people are on it, which has 29 labor positions. This is called inefficient start-up.

One of these operations is that there are fewer excavators, and the other is to establish a new social order, so that people can move and let society operate, rather than going to the point to receive relief food. Otherwise, the pressure on law and order will increase exponentially.

But this operation is a loss-making operation as a whole, and it is maintained by consuming the accumulation of previous production. With the increasing difficulty of the work of material collection, this kind of operation has reached a very embarrassing situation, that is, the materials that can be brought back by a trip to work can only make up for the consumption of the people who do the work, and there is not much surplus.

This is just like the salary is basically just enough to repay the loan, and it is naturally difficult to have a significant improvement in life.

On the other hand, the Outer City-State controls the Difficult Management Society, whipping like a slave owner and making people work like big animals, and no one can do it easily.

The specific work was also inefficient at first, but there was a planned collection of materials at the time of migration, so there was a considerable accumulation of resources to re-equip the production workers and then start efficient production.

Wuhan and Changsha have been pumping resources, manufacturing new equipment, and refurbishing old equipment.

Therefore, after going through the early stage, the technical level of the difficult management committee has been raised, and it is equivalent to being industrious, which is equivalent to each person working two or three jobs, and the overall output is much higher than the consumption, so wealth began to be created in a steady stream.

Although the people here are very tired every day, they are still basically convinced, because government affairs and economic income and expenditure are basically transparent, and the main reason why others are better than themselves is that they are more skilled, more industrious, and more thrifty, and save money to reinvest...... It can be said that the difficult management committee has done its best to provide a fair living environment, and if it is still not good, it is its own problem.

Everyone's family has so half of the prodigal children, and it is difficult to manage the natural will, these people have been ruthlessly revoked of their citizenship, expelled from the system, and can only go to the outer city-states to live together.

These city-states signed contracts and agreements in exchange for a series of technical support from the outer city-states, and built large and small hive castles between the mountains, and their inhabitants lived in much worse conditions. The administrator does not dare to owe the foreign city-states, so he can only squeeze the people under management harder.

And the oppressed can only endure hardship, the outside environment is already as bad as a wilderness, and the probability of death is too high to survive outside.

Of course, there are still people who live tenaciously in the abandoned city, and by picking up garbage, they can support themselves.

Xu Changqing's attention was not on this, in fact, he hadn't paid attention to the details for a long time except for asking about macro news.

In his opinion, the old federation has only now truly settled, with 2.722 billion on the moon and 4.514 billion on the earth, which can be accurate to one million, which shows that the death toll has returned to the normal range.

In the 21st century, Xu Changqing's hometown of Earth, almost 150,000 people die every day in the world, about 55.7 million a year, and the number of people born will die more than 80 million, of which the proportion is 57% in Asia, 26% in Africa, 9% in Latin America, 5% in Europe, 3% in North America, and less than 1% in Oceania and islands on all continents.

In this world, due to the development of science and technology, the average life expectancy of people has increased significantly, and the ratio of birth to death is even more exaggerated.

But now, the surge has been stifled, and the birth rate is significantly lower due to a large number of deaths, and the living conditions are poor, so that the fertility rate will not be much higher for a long time to come.

On the contrary, the mortality rate has always been relatively high, and even now, about 500,000 people die every day, of which nearly 80% are unnatural deaths.

Now the population part of the human race is like this, and the Republic of Mars ranks first, 8.124 billion.

The Old Federation has become a disputed area, with different names, and it is generally accepted that the self-help society of the lunar colonies and the difficult management of the earth are both vassal states of the outer city-states.

According to this statement, the old federation does not include this part, so 2.722 billion and 672 million will have to be left out.

7.3 billion minus 3.4 billion, the Earth's old federal population is 3.9 billion.

There is still a new federation led by the former president of the federation, and it is currently trying to win over this part of the population. They include people who live in the space satellite city provided by the Republic of Mars, as well as in the asteroid belt, with a total population of only 243 million (several more shipments later).

Such a quantity, just like the material, technology, and manpower is also not bad, and it has also become a small force in the human group.

The think tank deduced that after a year, the materials and other materials that the new federation carried when it fled will be basically consumed and replaced with various infrastructure and real estate.

At that time, if the population is still this small, then even if the new federation is fully restored to normal operation, the annual economic output will only be about 2.3% of the Martian Republic.

Such a power group should not be called a new federation, but a new America. The population characteristics are also very similar, multi-ethnic groups of immigrants.

Naturally, the president of the Federation was unwilling to lose the word 'big', so now that he had eased up, he threw his eyes at the people of the past again.

But how to put it, the effect is very limited.

The main thing is that you can't come up with attractive dry goods.

You know, a considerable reason why the outer city-states stopped sending refugees from Earth and Moon to the New Federation was that no one wanted to defect to them anymore.

Of course, strictly speaking, there are.

People's hearts are changing, today is good, tomorrow may be a demon hexagram, and just like when the Federation people always ran to the asteroid belt, those who smashed their lives and ran the pot want to start again in a different place, there are still some. Some are because of their careers, some are because of their feelings, some are believing in evil, and some are already infamous...... There must be one anyway.

So there are still regular round-trip ships to send people there. Because it was a ship of a foreign city-state, the voyage time was about the same as the time when Europeans sailed to the east coast of the Americas, so it was called the New Mayflower Tour.

Of course, there are also those who have to come back here to reunite with their families, so it is not without passengers on the return trip, but the main thing is material transportation.

In general, the period of turmoil is rapidly ending, and human beings are like uncomfortable clothes. The petite and delicate new federation re-winked at her ex-boyfriend who had successfully lost weight after the breakup, but the ex-boyfriend of the formed man pretended not to see it.

These 3.9 billion people have also completed adaptive adjustment after entering mid-April of the new year.

The first is the new European Union, with its large population and strong economy.

They eventually fell out with the U.S. Federation over issues such as resource and technology sharing.

Eventually, they swept the MSLs out of the group and became a purely Christian group.

It must be said that religion took advantage of the Holocaust to gain a good opportunity for development.

As Xu Changqing recognized, the more suffering there is in the world, the more prosperous religion is.

The Ark of the St. Michael's space station has not left until now.

Yes, the church people persevered, and instead of going into exile like the federal government, they took the opportunity to restore their faith.

They're doing a good job. The new EU is what it is now, and it has a lot to do with it.

You must know that even in Europe, there is an MSL, even in the most rampant era of terrorists, the EU is still freedom of belief, so there are some white people of European nationality who run to join organizations such as IS.

But now, the new EU has begun to emphasize ideology, cultural customs, and religious beliefs, and it is not just a matter of asking people to leave.

So the new EU, including Russians and British, totals 1,364 million.

Because their families are relatively thick, and they have completed the combing of the population, so the social operation is quite good, and they left the very cold, and probably even colder in the future, and built a large settlement like a Sichuan beehive in the Carpathian Mountains.

There is no wide Chengdu Plain there, but it is still possible to arrange two smaller hives diagonally in the northwest and southeast, and the technology of the Federation does not allow them to play as high as the Sichuan hive.

A quarter of the project is now complete, and tens of millions of people already live there. This efficiency is not bad, after all, they have not yet been able to resume large-scale production, and they need considerable labor for the collection of materials and materials.

The second most populous are, of course, the Asian refugee camps, which they still call to this day. It's not because of selling cuteness, but because many internal forces can't pee in the pot, and they can't reach a consensus and establish a federation.

This group, which currently has only 1.144 billion people left, has a dead face, and if the news of its complete collapse and dissolution comes out tomorrow, Xu Changqing will not feel any surprise.

Now that they are fighting over the specific distribution of the means of subsistence that they jointly own, the next step is probably to fight.

The reason why the competition is so fierce is that as far as the eye can see, there is not much place to pick up the rags.

India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, one counts as one, and they are basically poor places.

For these places, advanced technology has only widened the gap between the rich and the poor, although the lower classes have more or less enjoyed some benefits, but the surge in population has thinned the improvement brought by technology, and those who were poor in the past are still not rich.

In this way, only the north of the Free Celestial Empire can produce wool.

In fact, it has always started from this direction, and now it has been active in Yan'an, Yulin, Ordos, and Baotou.

And here, it's almost the end, to the south is Xi'an, which has been swept by the difficult management society, and then to the east, it will enter Shanxi, where there is energy and life entrenched, too dangerous.

Because of this, the day of sitting and eating is coming, so we have to fight. Even if you get rid of this group and start a new business, you have to have start-up capital. Everyone wants to get an extra one. The longer it drags on, the worse the situation becomes, and the more unwilling it is to budge.

So not only Xu Changqing is not optimistic about them, but even they themselves know that the collapse is just around the corner......
