But this requires a lot of workers, not to mention intelligent robots, which can do some of the work, but there is a lot of work that has to be done by people. Especially after the drone war, all countries have strictly restricted the development of autonomous robots, and they are not allowed to develop or apply these intelligent machines until they are 100% sure of controlling them.

Don't look at the 20 billion people, but there are also many space stations, the small ones can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the big ones are directly space cities, which can accommodate tens of millions of people. After being evenly divided across more than 5,000 galaxies, not only is it not too crowded, but governments are recruiting people to work on the space station all the time.

Whoever has more industrial workers will be able to speed up the pace of colonization, occupy more galaxies, and obtain more resources, which is the most obvious truth.

There are so many galaxies that have been detected so far, and I am worried that there is no manpower, and I can only watch when I explore them. If you don't have enough minerals, enough space stations, and enough spaceships, it's useless to go. If you want to build these facilities, you have to rely on people in the end.

Speaking of which, I have to mention why cloned pilots are popular. In addition to the fact that they can be fully integrated with the spacecraft control system to maximize the performance of the spacecraft, the main reason is to save labor.

For example, a medium-sized mining ship often needs a few hundred crew members to achieve maximum efficiency, but after replacing it with a clone pilot, it takes up to two, and often one replaces the work of hundreds of people, and it is more efficient. Add to that the cost of supplies, salaries, and insurance for a few hundred people, and it's cost-effective to use a cloned pilot, even if it's twice as expensive.

This is true for mining, as well as for other industries, as long as the clone pilot is working outside the atmosphere. It's a pity that most people's original intention of choosing clone pilots is to fly freely in outer space, and they are extremely disgusted with war.

Can we use more covert coercive methods? This was thought of as early as the formulation of the cloned pilot bill, so the assessment and management of cloned pilots were in the hands of the Integrated Ministry, and governments could not interfere.

If anyone dares to coerce the families of the cloned pilots, let alone whether they can let the pilots comply, once the news leaks, I am afraid that all the cloned pilots in their country will run out. They have the privilege of choosing any system to live in, and are protected by local laws, with nationality having little effect on the clone pilots.

Hong Tao wants to be a clone pilot, but unfortunately he doesn't meet the application conditions at all, it's not a little bit worse, no matter how much he likes it, it's useless.

The V-2 space station is a factory dedicated to building spacecraft, but the product is special, neither a merchant ship nor a mining ship, nor a warship, but a very professional exploration ship.

In the field of warships, each country has its own characteristics, and there are also different companies specializing in mining ships and merchant ships, and no one can lead the way, but in the field of exploration ships, the technology of the Brotherly Freemasons is outstanding. Not only is it highly regarded by many private explorers and scientists, but even national government agencies will purchase it specifically for more valuable galaxy and ruins exploration activities.

"They still have private armies, isn't it illegal to have such a big weapon?" Hong Tao didn't know what the specific thing was, he hadn't even seen what the spaceship looked like, he just listened to Nuel's blind chatter along the way, and as a result, his curiosity was aroused.

But when he really got to the berth of the space station, Hong Tao didn't want to go in again, just because of a few huge mechanical equipment on both sides. Judging by the basic memory template and his own original experience, these big guys are definitely not cranes, but more like some kind of weapons.

"Illegal? Hehehe...... Aite, you should learn more about the world around you. Each space station is a fortress, not only armed but also more than a normal warship. Otherwise, a few pirate ships can attack the space station, how can the owner protect his property? ”

Nuel promised not to look at Hong Tao with the eyes of an idiot, but sometimes he couldn't control it, and it naturally came out, such as now. He's a bachelor, and in fact, most of the clone pilots are bachelors, and doing this kind of work is not good for the family except for losing his own body.

Since he is a bachelor, he has no experience raising children. In fact, Hong Tao is like a ten-year-old child many times, the only thing he needs is patience and encouragement, and what he is most afraid of is this kind of look.

“…… This is an 800 mm rail-mounted projectile that fires fusion and electromagnetic bombs, and even battleships don't want to be hit by it. But don't be afraid, it's used against illegal intruders, and we're guests here. It shouldn't be these big guys, it's the laser cannons hidden behind those raised crystals. Cannons can't hit our ships, and those damn lasers are the ones that can be used against smaller ships. ”

Seeing that Hong Tao began to frown again, Nuel immediately reacted, put away his impatient expression and replaced it with a smiling face, and patiently explained the weapon system here.

"Does your original Black Raven have a shield and how many hits can it withstand from these laser cannons?" Hong Tao doesn't quite understand what a magnetic rail catapult cannon is, but the laser cannon must know that this is not a weapon in the earth's science fiction films. Since there is a laser cannon, there should be no shortage of another device in science fiction films, the shield of the spaceship!

"Uh...... Our energy shield shouldn't be able to withstand an attack of this level, this ......" Nuel grinned and scratched his bald head, he couldn't help it.

"Is there a weapon introduction in Mo Ruo's information?" Every man is a potential weapon fan, but Hong Tao really didn't ask this for a hobby. He is now like a dry sponge, absorbing water at every opportunity, both useful and useless.

"You see, the Freemasons have come to meet us, so don't ask any more questions. If you want to know about weapons, you don't have to ask Mo Ruo, there are them in the new spaceship, you can not only see but also operate the launch, don't worry, I'll let you try it yourself. ”

Hong Tao is a dry sponge, Nuel is not a spring, he is undoubtedly a broken mouth, but he is only willing to waste his tongue on topics of interest, and when he encounters this kind of primary school curriculum, he immediately regrets his words like gold, and if he can, he will not say it, and he will hide if he can. This time he found a good reason again, a car floated on the platform, and three people got out of the car.

"......" Actually, there is no need for Nuel to say, Hong Tao didn't have time to ask about weapons, and now if he has a weapon in his hand, he must be aiming at those three people

Because they only have the appearance of a human being, but they don't feel the taste of human beings at all!

Walking in the middle is a muscular man more than two meters tall, and the skin clothes on him have the feeling of being broken apart in minutes. The strong man Hong Tao has seen a lot, which is not surprising, but this one is not only strong, but also flashes with strange patterns. If the patterns on his skin clothes may be the fabric itself, then the patterns on his face, scalp, ears, and lips can hardly be said to be painted.

The figure on the left is reasonable, his brown and yellow hair is also neatly combed, and he looks like a civilian sitting in an office without looking at his face. But there was only one eye on his face, and the place of the other eye became some kind of mechanical device, and the socket also protruded, and there was a faint light shining in it.

It's not so much a fake eye, Hong Tao thinks it's more like a weapon, it's a small laser device, once the danger is discovered, a few lasers fly out. People block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha!

The weirdest thing is the one on the right, she's very sound on the left side of her body, yes, it's her, not him, it's a lady, and she's young. Nor should it be called sound, it is very bodybuilding. Just imagine, a young woman who is more than 1.7 meters tall is standing in front of her in a skin suit, and any detail defect on her body will be outlined, but Hong Tao really didn't find it.

But this is only the left side of her body, and the right side is full of defects, because her right arm is mechanical, and half of her bald head is also a metal shell. If you want to say that the doctor or engineer who operated on her is really incurable, there are still artistic cells, and the connection between machinery and flesh is very perfect, Leng does not feel abrupt.
