The law of increasing entropy is one of the fundamental laws of cosmic sociology. Ｘ

It shows that the total chaos (i.e., "entropy") of an isolated system does not decrease in natural processes.

Decay is the eternal theme of the universe, not only for the laws of thermodynamics, but also for stars, including black holes, life and even civilization!

"Nothing in the universe lasts forever, and there are times when interstellar civilizations decay and die. Therefore, the parameter [Civilization Entropy] is used to judge the degree of chaos within civilization. ”

"We can assume: the more orderly the civilization, the less entropy; Conversely, the greater the entropy. ”

"The increase in the entropy of civilization is a spontaneous process. But each civilization can control the rate of entropy increase in a certain way. ”

So, how to avoid the rapid entropy increase of civilization?

This is very complicated, and it is related to the history, economy, system, culture, science and technology and other aspects of a civilization, which is the key research content of cosmic sociology.

As the leader of civilization, Yu Yifeng often participates in this kind of discussion.

Strangely enough, statistically speaking, there is a certain negative correlation between the overall action of civilization and the number of people.

The population is small and always easy to cohesive; When the population is large, it is difficult, and various systems, rules and regulations are needed.

It's very easy to understand.

This is a social theory contributed by the cosmic sociologist "Black". He believes that the population explosion is not necessarily a good thing for interstellar civilization.

Each civilization, because of its differences in history, economy, system, and culture, has its own [optimal population appropriate number], and beyond this number, the "civilization entropy" will increase rapidly.

"There are many times when 10 billion people are not as productive as 100 million people...... Because the system can't keep up, 10 billion people are even more chaotic. ”

So, what kind of population size is appropriate?

Can it be industrially maximized without causing a significant increase in entropy?

Probably because there is still so little knowledge, people have not found a very precise formula.

Black's previous civilization was already level L4, and he still hadn't found it, or he had found it, but he didn't know.

That is...... The entropy of civilization is likely to increase due to the increase in population. This is one of the main reasons why many interstellar civilizations seek elite, miniaturized societies. Correspondingly, with the development of science and technology, the birth rate of most civilizations will gradually decline. ”

In its report, Black wrote:

"I once saw a historic L3-level civilization that occupies several stars and has a population of trillions. To that level, an incomparably large amount of science and technology has inevitably been formed. ”

"This is a truly veteran L3 civilization, whether it is technology, knowledge system, or the promotion, inheritance and development of civilization, its difficulty will far exceed the intelligence and life span level of ordinary individuals."

"At this time, most of the population is reduced to garbage...... They can no longer give impetus to the development of civilization. ”

"The civilization does not yet have an L4 brain chip to improve intelligence, and these garbage populations in turn restrict the development of the civilization, so that it can no longer make ...... inches."

"In this way, civilization gradually stepped into the trap of material pleasures, like many low-level civilizations......"

"The civilization lost its spiritual energy, and was finally defeated by another young L2-level civilization, and the L2-level civilization also gained a lot of technology and was successfully promoted to ......"

Therefore, education, cultural atmosphere, and certain social institutions are extremely important for the development of civilization! Even interstellar civilizations should not ignore this aspect! ”

Black spends his days in the office writing his novelty arguments.

He was extremely concerned about the development of a new human civilization, and was extremely eager, as if he were the real leader...... Well, for this, Yu Yifeng has nothing to be unhappy about, a once advanced civilization must have something to learn.

Although he is an alien, these papers, as long as they make sense, should be carefully pondered......

In this way, in just a few days, the Noah society quickly returned to the working state of building the "Deep Space", and there was nothing unsuitable for it.

This shows that the entire civilization is very healthy, and Yu Yifeng is very satisfied with this.

Time passed day by day, and under the construction of people day and night, it only took two months of hard work to officially complete the construction of the space elevator.

It is about 50 meters long and wide, and there are more than 100 built-in elevators that come and go, and can transport about 3 million to 5 million tons of materials every day.

That's a lot of that, because it's all finished products.

In just a few days, a larger batch of excavation machines was transported down via a space elevator, and under the guidance of satellite navigation, they would automatically travel to the various mining areas and then ...... Mining!

Mining!

Mining!

Trains in all directions will transport the excavated minerals to the main smelting base near the space elevator. After the smelting base completes the smelting of minerals, the final finished product is transported by space elevator......

The whole industrial system was completed, simple and crude, but efficient......

It only took more than two months!

Of course, there must be all kinds of details, big and small, but these details are not under Yi Feng's control. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do it alone.

The government has set up a special study group to deal with emergencies, and some small matters do not require his approval.

As a result, this particular study group was the busiest place, with a group of staff members arguing over various plans every day.

They are all young and young of the new generation, young and energetic, and it is time to work on their standards.

“…… No, this won't work! The electricity load of the main smelting base on the surface is very large, and the energy we are transporting now is completely insufficient...... New reactors may need to be added! Little John, go and rush! ”

"Do you want to add reactors again? There are so many more! ”

A young man hurried out, but was grabbed by an older man. What reactors to add ?! It's better to transmit the extra electricity from Deep Space, and we can attach superconducting wires to the space elevator without the wires themselves being load-bearing......"

"If you can pass on the electricity, how much uranium resources can be saved!"

"Do you want to pass the telegram down...... I'll check it, yes, yes, the current power generation of Deep Space is indeed too large! ”

"Then pass the telegram down! I think I can use D63 superconducting wire! ”

After the ion engine is extinguished, the power generation of the nuclear fusion reactor is too large, and many of them are wasted, and it is not bad to use it to smelt metals......

As a result, the space elevator has added a wire transmission project of more than 8,000 kilometers......

There are still many such problems, and in the hands of this group of young people, they are solved one by one, and the operation of the mineral base below has become more rounded.

The industrial capacity of more than 700,000 people is not the same as that of 50,000 people, and even several orders of magnitude apart!

More than 700,000 high-tech talents have been able to gradually support the development of science in many major fields.

What's more, in the past 160 years or so, mankind's intelligence, science and technology have made leaps and bounds. The speed of mining is very fast, there are millions of machines on the entire planet, and there are a lot of them, but they are carried out in an orderly manner...... r
