Golden Palace.

in the chamber.

"The recruitment target of 100,000 people has been completed less than one-fifth, and the group has managed nearly 20 million people, and the registration ratio is less than one-thousandth?"

Wei Ming's mood was very depressed and bad, which can be said to be greatly beyond his expectations.

Obviously, the treatment is so generous.

The future is bright.

Not many people signed up.

He just couldn't figure it out!

"It's very normal."

Xu Guanhua, a strategic adviser, said: "How to arouse the enthusiasm of ordinary people to join the army, the ancient Qin Dynasty's method was very simple, that is, the 'military merit lord field house system', as long as the soldier kills the enemy, he will reward the field house, reward the title, and reward the slaves, which is called 'rewarding the cultivation war, and benefiting a hole'." ”

"But most of the immigrants in our company have land and houses, wives and children, savings, robots at home, everything, nothing is missing, and their lives are very comfortable, how can they get into the hole of joining the army? It is normal for the number of applicants to be small. ”

"The second brother is right."

Military adviser Xu Yahua said: "Most ordinary people are very easy to satisfy, unless there is no way, only a few are willing to take risks, although the treatment of the black hole fleet is very high, the danger factor is extremely low, but most people are still a little rich, and only recruit a group of ships of uneven quality." ”

"I can only go to the Blue Star to recruit people."

Xu Lixun, the commander of the Black Hole Fleet (he has already joined the Black Hole Fleet), said: "The population base on our side is too small, there are not many high-quality soldiers, and the enthusiasm is not high, if you want to complete the expansion task, you can only go to Blue Star." ”

"There are enough Blue Star crews in the Black Hole Fleet."

Wei Ming shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust these crews, but their proportion is close to 100%, and a certain balance must be made." ”

Today's Black Hole Fleet has a total of 12 large main starships (100,000 tons), organized into four small fleets, each responsible for military defense in one direction, and currently has a total of 36,000 crew members and 14,000 logistics civilian personnel, totaling 50,000 people.

The expansion plan launched this time will increase the number of large capital starships to 36.

The number of front-line combatants has been expanded to 108,000.

The number of civilian logistics personnel has been expanded to 42,000.

So there happened to be a gap of 100,000 people, and it had to be recruited in a short period of time.

What to do?

How can the remaining vacancy of more than 80,000 people be filled?

"Why don't you use a lot of robots?"

Wei Shan, the captain of the escort team, said: "Now the robot has a very high degree of intelligence, and if you build a few unmanned warships instead of people, the combat performance will not be lower than that of manned warships, and even perform better, and the combat effectiveness will be stronger." ”

After all, robots have no fear and can withstand huge casualties.

"There are hidden dangers in robots, last year's 'cursed virus' incident that broke out in Blue Star, resulting in more than 300,000 deaths, if we didn't use a relatively closed 'Xuanyuan system', it might also be broken by the cursed virus, and then it would be an unimaginable disaster."

Expert representative Long Tianhao said: "No matter how high the degree of automation, the human crew on a large starship must not be less than 3,000 people, this is a red line, below the number will face uncontrollable risks, and engaging in unmanned warships is a big gamble, which is equivalent to putting all the eggs in one basket, which is extremely unsafe." ”

"Long Gong is right."

Chen Jian, an expert representative, also said: "Although we have widely used quantum encryption technology, and the probability of software cracking is zero, there is still the possibility of physical decipherment, and then think about the 100,000-ton interstellar battleship, once it is controlled by the enemy, what a terrible scene it will be." ”

For example, increase to maximum speed and hit Mars......

There must still be someone on the big starship.

"Go to Blue Star to recruit 50,000, enter the front-line post, and bring their families to Mars; In addition, 30,000 employees from various companies will be transferred to take charge of the clerical positions in the back-office. ”

Wu Chenwu, head of the Black Hole Space Development Company, proposed a compromise plan.

As a corporate group, in principle, the more than 20 million Mars immigrants and space immigrants of the Black Hole Group are all employees of the company.

If the company wants to adjust the position of some people and assign them certain jobs to do, employees are unlikely to resist.

However, in the matter of 'recruitment', Wei Ming still intends to adopt the principle of 'voluntary' to avoid mixing in unstable factors, after all, the crew requires a high degree of obedience, has a certain degree of danger, and must be kept secret.

If someone reluctantly gets on a starship and accumulates anger and hatred, it may become a hidden danger and a loophole, causing unknown consequences, killing a shipload of people, and causing the entire fleet to be wiped out.

Now they are not even satisfied.

"Lao Wu, this method is good."

Wei Ming had to compromise and said: "I can only do this, but there is one point, all the recruits must be Chinese, and they must pass the test, and the screening must not be relaxed." ”

"Yes, understood."

Wu Chenwu nodded.

In fact, on the Blue Star side, the Black Hole Group's "Mars Immigrants" recruitment plan has been going on, and there are still more than 30 million people who have not been used up.

But I don't know what's going on, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer registrations, in previous years, each issue could recruit 100,000, and the period was full, but now it is good to recruit 50,000.

On the one hand, after entering a highly welfare society, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I play virtual online games every day, and my life is very chic, so why go to Mars to risk suffering.

You know, you can't play virtual online games on Mars, and this thing is directly banned by the Black Hole Group.

Secondly, it may be related to the atmosphere of public opinion, which leads to many parents not agreeing with their children to sign up for Mars, after all, Mars is a young society, and it is better for the elderly to stay in Blue Star to enjoy happiness, and only once in five years can they have a chance to visit relatives, which is equivalent to separation of flesh and blood.

Under the strong opposition and demonization of parents, the Martian wave of immigrants quickly cooled, attracting only 30,000 new immigrants every year.

As a result, the population base controlled by the Black Hole Group is insufficient, and the problem can only be solved by rewarding fertility.

The expansion plan of the 100,000-strong Black Hole Fleet in the district actually has to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

But!

By the time Project Mercury is complete, the situation should change significantly.

"Mr. Wei, within ten years, can we really get Mercury and mine the entire iron core?"

Ye Chushu, a female scientist, still said with a suspicious face: "2 trillion tons of iron, this is a billion times the iron resources obtained by human civilization so far, in just ten years, we can get such a huge amount of iron?" ”

"The way to dismantle Mercury is already in pieces."

Chen Jian said confidently: "Just see how Mr. Wei operates at that time." ”

The purpose of expanding the Black Hole Fleet is to ensure the safety of the mining process, and on the other hand, it is also afraid of stimulating all forces and attracting targets, so they prepare in advance.
