Chapter 764: Investment and Return on Investment
This time the maintenance was only a minor maintenance, and the expected downtime was not long, almost two months to complete the task. Taking advantage of this short long holiday, a large number of staff above the planet "Kyushu" began to carry out mobile rotation.
The older staff have been here for a long time, and they also want to return to their home planet of Shanhai. For them, Shanhai is the real hometown, with familiar classmates, dependable relatives, the most advanced scientific research places, and the most suitable humanistic environment for research......
Yes, the human environment is important. In the environment of Shanhai, there is a sense of seriousness and leisureliness at the same time, and people dare to question, dare to challenge authority, and dare to innovate.
The Kyushu is just a workplace, and many industries are a bit utilitarian driven by the private economy...... This is inevitable.
A large number of tourists from the Shanhai will also take advantage of this holiday to go to the planet Kyushu for a series of tours, which can be regarded as a very popular tourism culture. Being able to meet aliens face-to-face on this planet and experience a thriving market is a once-in-a-decade pleasure.
"Whew, I've come to this planet again, it's already so prosperous. The last time I came here, I didn't have those work areas...... "When she just stepped off the spaceship, Lin Xuanxuan was like a child, she was shocked and excited when she saw something.
In fact, the infrastructure of the two planets is not much different, but she still feels a little dreamy.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know what I want to do most now? ”
"I guess you'd like to see what happened to those pangolins. Did it come to fruition? ”
"Hey, you guessed it. I also have a foundation here that sponsors pangolin tourism. ”
Zhang Yuan laughed heartily, and he accompanied Lin Xuanxuan to also sign up for such a tourist activity. I don't know why, Zhang Yuan is very concerned about the life of these pangolins, probably because these pangolins are the first alien species that humans have encountered, and they always have a special feeling.
In fact, Zhang Yuan's work is quite busy, and his real vacation is only one week, and for most of the rest of the time, he has to hold a meeting in Kyushu to discuss how to develop next. Now that the ready-made technological dividends are almost exhausted, everyone has to sit down and think about it......
During the chat, they took a high-speed train to the tallest and most luxurious centrifugal wheel, and the discussion around them was very lively.
For many of the new human citizens, there are too many interesting things in the Kyushu, such as the metal garbage city, and there are still treasures to this day. Some young people will come here and bury their childhood toys or some scrapped machinery products in them for the next generation to dig up.
There are also some children who come here to pick up garbage, and sometimes even pick up a game console that can be used! For them, the console is definitely a tasting.
This is a new culture......
There is also a bustling interstellar trade market, a variety of different aliens, and a more relaxed game environment...... There's so much fun.
Of course, in addition to play, there is also a part of the population, at least 20 million or more, who come here in search of work.
There aren't many permanent residents here, and most of the facilities are military and strictly secrecy.
Most of the co-owned enterprises have a mobile workforce that rotates every 10 years. In addition to a small number of business leaders who have to stay here for a long time for their careers, many ordinary employees have been working for a few years and have cultivated certain abilities, and then they want to return to Shanhai to work.
Over time, the Kyushu gradually became a front-line talent training base. Some of the original unemployed people developed their ability to work in this hodgepodge, and then returned to Shanhai to serve the whole society. At the same time, a large number of new people come here to develop their work skills, forming a very good virtuous circle.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "...... Therefore, from the perspective of economy and security, the number of war stars in a civilization is not as large as possible, there are too many war stars, the population is scattered, and all kinds of problems are prone to occur. It's like some vassal states in ancient dynasties, when the information is not smooth and the population is large and the population is concentrated, it is easy to form a situation where the princes are divided......"
"The same is true in the interstellar age, when traveling faster than light, information communication is not smooth, and the flow of people is almost stagnant. If the population is divided into five or five, there will still be problems. ”
At present, the two battle stars, the Shanhai concentrates a large number of people, and is a center for scientific research, industry, and education, and the Kyushu is mainly used for foreign trade and military purposes, which can be regarded as a very reasonable allocation.
If there is one more battle star, in fact, it can only be used for military purposes, and it is not cost-effective to allocate at least 10 million or more maintenance population.
For a while, the new human civilization does not intend to expand its population by a large margin.
Expanding the population can indeed increase productivity and military strength, but it will also reduce the intelligence of social groups to a certain extent, which is a double-edged sword.
The speed of the train slowed down slowly, Zhang Yuan was no stranger to this place, and directly became a tour guide: "The front is the Interstellar Trade City, I don't know if there has been any change after so many years...... The flow of people may explode in these two months! ”
"At present, the population of the Kyushu Battle Star is about 29 million, with 2 million professional soldiers, 4 million engineering and development teams, and the rest are employees of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises."
Lin Xuanxuan asked, "What about the hemisphere?" ”
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "They also have more than 10 million people staying here, including about 400,000 soldiers, and we allow these soldiers to be stationed." There are also a number of partner factories here...... In fact, this battle star is still quite empty, and only a tenth of it is used. The population will increase a bit in the future, and we are considering whether to cultivate more subordinate civilizations. ”
"Our Affiliated Civilization...... How many Gliese people are there? ”
"A total of 120,000, the population is still a little small...... Hehe, I heard that there is a Gliese mathematician named Cardover recently, who has made very good results, and the industry has a high evaluation of him. ”
Lin Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Really? In this way, wouldn't our investment be a return on investment? ”
"It's been back for a long time! I'm still very optimistic about this civilization. ”
The Gliese civilization is indeed a civilization that advocates spiritual pursuits. Under the influence of some wise men, a more superior life did not shift their whole thinking.
As a simple example, in the metal garbage city, there is a group of Gliese pangolins who specialize in picking up garbage for a living, and they do not have too high professional knowledge and technical skills, so they can only pick up parts to get by.
In this exchange, many humans and hemispheres will bury their childhood toys in them for the next generation to find. If these pangolins, who are professional garbage pickers, pick up these toys and sell them, they can easily make a profit.
But for a variety of reasons, whether it is internal racial control or natural romantic sentiments, they do not do this, but will give up this area for a period of time in the future, choosing to let the children choose first.
The treasure that people deliberately buried in the metal garbage city is a place to cultivate the spirit of exploration of children. These Gliese people know this, and refrain from deliberately destroying the excellent culture of the entire Alliance. That's pretty rare, because they're not rich, they're not as wealthy as hemispheric civilizations and humans, they need the economy.
Zhang Yuan commented: "A race that knows how to exercise self-restraint, even if the innate race value is a little worse, the future development will not be bad. ”
