"Next we need to determine the number of evacuees!" Zhou Chen glanced around at everyone and said with a serious expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When this topic was mentioned, the participants were very attentive and their spirits were suddenly beaten.

In the universe, the heritage of a civilization depends to a large extent on the number of civilization groups, only when the number of people reaches a certain scale, various scientific and technological achievements can continue to emerge, in a sense, the development of science and technology and the number of ethnic groups have a certain positive correlation.

At this time, Gustav of the Academy of Sciences stood up and said: "According to the carrying capacity of the habiting ship, we originally expected to carry 1 billion people for thirty-six years, but now since we are going to the Poseidon Galaxy, the maximum carrying capacity will be 2.5 times the original, that is, 2.5 billion, I think we can appropriately set aside some margin, and 2.3 billion is a more appropriate number to evacuate." ”

2.3 billion! After hearing this number, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and their faces showed a sincere expression of surprise.

You must know that 300 million, or 1 billion, is not comparable to the number 2.3 billion. If 2.3 billion people can be evacuated, the future is promising!

At this time, many thoughts flashed through their minds, not only considering the future of the Earth Fleet in the universe, but also naturally thinking of a matter closely related to their own interests, that is, their status in the Earth Fleet.

At present, the leadership of the Earth Fleet has basically been established, that is, the system of two temporary committees under the captain, since the members attending the meeting are qualified to participate in the policy discussion of the entire fleet, then the word "temporary" of "temporary committee members" is just a formality, and I believe that when the fleet officially withdraws, these two words will definitely be erased.

Think about it, would you like to be the leader of 300 million people, or would you like to be the leader of 2.3 billion people? There is no need to answer this question, and there is no doubt that the latter is the choice!

People's hearts are self-interested, even in the most difficult moment of the race, self-interest is still an indelible "stubborn disease".

Zhou Chen saw excitement and desire in their eyes. As a leader, it is not a bad thing to lure him in the right situation, he smiled faintly and thought to himself: it is good to be ambitious, I am afraid that my teammates are a group of people without ambition!

Without ambition, there is no combat effectiveness, and from another point of view, the team is also scattered.

What Zhou Chen is most worried about is that the teammates he has personally supported will not be able to resist the impact of the outside in the face of various temptations. If the core team is easily attacked by external forces, or even let sand be mixed into the core team, causing unnecessary internal confrontation, then it will be a big trouble for Zhou Chen to control the fleet.

"Now the question is how can we transport 2.3 billion people when we have 80 ships left?" Zhou Chen asked with a frown.

At present, there are 15 residential ships and 15 resource support ships, each of which has 10 under construction. According to the original arrangement, these ships were built according to the standard of carrying 300 million people, and each resident ship was rated to carry 7 million people, and the 45 ships carried a total of 300 million people.

Now the situation has changed, and the number of passengers has changed from 300 million to 2.3 billion, a whole 2 billion more! Since the internal living facilities of the completed residential ships have been completed, the additional carrying capacity is limited, and the extra personnel are bound to be superimposed on the residential ships that have not yet been built.

"Captain, it is imperative to expand the residential ships and resource supply ships, and the eighty additional production capacity can be fully used for the construction of these two types of ships!" It was Yin Xi who spoke, a scientist with a background in string theory, who has never said much, but today he made an exception.

I just heard him continue: "There are 2 billion more people, in fact, it doesn't mean that they can't be transported, although the space will not increase, but the crowding can still be stuffed,"

"You're saying each habitation ship carries more people?" Of course, Zhou Chen also considered this issue.

"That's right!"

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Forty-five habitation ships carrying 300 million people does seem relaxed, and the limit of carrying 1 billion people can be carried reluctantly without recklessness." ”

"Now we still have the construction capacity of 80 ships, if we give priority to the allocation of these 80 production capacity to residential ships, so that the residential ships will increase from the original plan of 45 to 65, and the 15 residential ships that have been built will carry twice as many personnel on the basis of the original facilities, that is, 300 million, then the residential ships that are already under construction and will be built in the future only need to increase each capacity by a little more than four times, that is, each ship carries 40 million people, then the problem of carrying 2.3 billion people can be solved."

"It's all about resources!" Gustav suddenly interjected.

To be precise, the resource supply ship is more like a mobile living farm, it is used to produce and store various living materials, and it is a powerful supplement to the circulation output of the living ship itself! Therefore, the number of resource supply ships determines the living standard of the fleet to a certain extent.

Zhou Chen thought for a while, and said in agreement: "If such an adjustment is made, the number of resource supply ships built in the end can also reach sixty-five......"

Yin Xi made some calculations in the notebook, and then sighed and said: "In terms of the absolute value of resource consumption, such an adjustment can also maintain the smooth arrival of 2.3 billion people in the Poseidon Galaxy." However, compared with the relaxed conditions of carrying 300 million people, carrying an extra 2 billion will inevitably cause a very tight supply of resources within the fleet in the last few years, and I am afraid that some unforeseen things will happen. ”

When Zhou Chen heard this, he quickly realized this problem, and his brows couldn't help but twist.

As mentioned earlier, whether it was the earliest 45 habitation ships carrying 1 billion people, or the current 65 ships carrying 2.3 billion people, in fact, they all prefabricated an ideal condition, that is, ignoring the interests of human beings and completely treating people as robots for calculation.

For example, when Dandan is expected to carry 1 billion people, the resources will be exhausted within 36 years, so can the Earth Fleet really last until 36 years?

The answer is of course not, maybe in the twentieth year, the resource cycle will show a situation of insufficient circulation, by the thirtieth year, the resource cycle has been extremely tight, and by the thirty-sixth year, the resources will be completely depleted!

Then as the bearer of life, it is very likely that the Earth Fleet will begin to fall into a humanitarian catastrophe in the twentieth year! This is a very dangerous thing for a fleet that sails in a dead universe.

Although the plan now changes to sixty-five ships carrying 2.3 billion people, the number of inhabited ships has increased, and the duration is only fourteen years. But the calculations show that the humanitarian catastrophe began in the eleventh year!

In other words, if 2.3 billion people are carried on 65 residential ships and 65 resource supply ships, there will be undesirable social problems in the eleventh year!

"So, I think we should go the other way!" Yin Xi shook his head and said.

"We should devote more capacity to securing resources, and as for the residential ships, we can build a few less. After all, it is better to stuff more people, although the living conditions are poorer, than to stay on the earth and wait for an unknown fate! ”

Zhou Chen thought secretly after listening to it, what Yin Xi said actually made some sense, after all, fleeing is not the same as traveling, being able to survive is the key, if it is to be greedy for pleasure, it is obviously in the wrong place.

If 45 of the 80 shipbuilding capacity is allocated to supply resource ships, then a total of 70 resource support ships can be built, which should be enough to meet the needs of 2.3 billion people, but in this case, only another 35 residential ships can be built, and counting the ones under construction and those already built, there will be a total of 60 ships.

Among the 60 habiting ships, because 15 have been built, the internal living environment has basically been limited, and it is already the limit to carry twice as many people, and each ship can carry 21 million people, so that it is 300 million people.

The remaining 45 ships under construction can temporarily change the internal living facilities, but 45 ships will be used to carry 2 billion people, each of which will carry about 44 million people, and the living conditions are obviously not comfortable.

It is important to know that there can be no endless increase in personnel in a ship, otherwise another social problem will be born. (To be continued.) )
