Compared with the original conditions of the moon, due to the compensation brought by science and technology, the conditions of Hope Star are not so bad, and after adapting to the local environment, 550 people instantly burst out far more productive than the original 50 people.

In the second half of the year, the first phase of the Hope City urban project, which can accommodate a population of 100,000, was established, with the ultimate goal of providing the fifth batch of support after 30 years, but now in order to prevent it from becoming a ghost town, the advance team has at most built a framework with the idea of the second-generation city module, leaving more than 50,000 unmanned units to maintain the operation of the city.

Absorbing the new technology of the East Galaxy Company, the crystal insect breeding base and other plans have also been completed at a rapid pace, and it is only half a year, and the area of artificial objects on the Hope Star has expanded several times.

Crystal worms are gradually popularized in the local area, a petite and cute crystal worm is a lot of children's favorite pets, when they are just born, only about the size of a fingernail, will produce about 50 offspring at a time, in a nutritious environment, juvenile crystal worms will quickly grow to the size of a calf in a few days, and then slowly grow, after 30 years, reach the size of a vehicle, to their 50 years old when they first estrus, unfortunately the crystal worm has no gender, is self-replicating, and then ushered in a new cycle, As for how long the crystal worm lives, no one knows, at least so far, the advance team has found that the crystal worm has a lifespan of 500 years, and its body has reached the size of an unprecedented small truck, which is particularly spectacular.

But even so, the cute appearance of the crystal worm will not change due to age, unlike kittens and puppies, juvenile and adult are simply two painting styles, leading the advance team members to think that the crystal worm is definitely qualified to compete with Rolling for the throne of the new generation of cute kings and become a fashionable pet in the world.

Even the solar system, relying on strong initiatives in the trade sector. A culture war has started about "crystal worms are the most fashionable pets" and "crystal worms are the cutest pets", paving the way for the future crystal worm business.

As for the grain of the crystal worms, although it is ore, considering their refining effect on the ore, coupled with the fact that the total mass of the Hope Star is about 6 times that of the earth, it is extremely rich and large. There are more than 100 mega-scale deposits within 100 kilometers alone, and not counting the deep deposits below 1 kilometer, they are actually very easy to feed and not delicate at all.

Today, with the development of transportation, no one walks the crystal worm to work, but more leisure activities such as walking the crystal worm or riding the crystal worm to experience the natural scenery.

An ordinary crystal worm is sold for 500 merit in Hope City, and an immigrant works for a month. Enough to buy two or three heads. Therefore, in Hope City alone, almost every household has one crystal worm.

Similar to cats and dogs, there will be several varieties of crystal worms, even rare species, these special, rare things are expensive, and the price will naturally go up to sell for more money.

It is still a few decades before the crystal worm is pushed into the market, and the trade department and the advance team have already prepared a set of intent plans. In the solar system, the cost of transportation has led to the price of crystal worms initially set at 50,000 merits. At least 10,000 heads must be sold every year to bring considerable profits.

From the popularity of crystal insects in the local area, many people firmly believe that the crystal insect business has a large enough market, and they are very much looking forward to the official appearance of the crystal insect business around a few decades ago.

But at this time, Qiao Canal was worried about other things.

I only saw it in the office. The rest of him and his son stood with big eyes on each other, and no sound came out for a long time.

Qiao Canal smoked a cigarette, "Son, I don't know when you plan to find a girlfriend?" ”

Qiao moved his mouth: "Father, why don't you have more children with your mother?" ”

"Uhhhh Even if they wanted to, would they really have the time? "In short, you see, the 500 new immigrants who just came over, in less than two years, have been squeezed out of work in various places, you know, during this period we have no human losses, any work-related injuries, accidental infection of immigrants, we provide the best and cheapest medical subsidies, by Dr. Charles himself, even the dead can be saved."

"In retrospect, the development plan for the base camp was really conservative."

"This is also something that can't be helped, without knowing the Centaur Alpha at all, sending millions of people at a time, isn't it really a massacre?"

"Fortunately, the base camp will increase the number of immigrants in the fifth batch of support to 100,000, and a batch of immigrants with a scale of 100,000 people will arrive every 2 years, we can't rely on the earth immigrants, and it's not easy to clone, so we are counting on the earth, but we have to wait for them for 30 years, and the latest third batch of support will not be until 2095, and the number is not much, only 1,500 people."

"So, son, don't you really think about helping your father solve the problem of human resource shortage?"

"Father, if you do this, will your mother support you?"

"Well... She's definitely going to support it, you're in your 50s, you don't even have a girlfriend, aren't you shy? ”

Qiao Yishan was expressionless: "I think it's okay, father, I have to add that I am only 18 years old, please don't count the 40 years of frozen loss in the spaceship into my age, I have a long life, my body is also very good, and there is a career of conquering the stars and the sea waiting for me to complete, it is too wasteful to find a girlfriend at this time." ”

"Alas... Why don't you cooperate with my work well? I'd love to leave my work here behind and continue with the exploration department. Qiao Hehe thought a little speechlessly, but he couldn't do it himself, after all, the Centaur Alpha Exploration is also the result of his own work, and it is also related to the development of the planet.

He couldn't help complaining about Cao Chuan, as an honorary advisor, but he couldn't set a good example, and he was really shameless with a group of lolitas all day long, and others might not be able to see through it, he could see it, it was definitely because his classmate was a big lolita, otherwise, if there were three or four beauties around him, even if the cosmic environment led to a significant reduction in the pregnancy rate, after so many years, a few children should have been created.

"In short, the manpower problem has become a new obstacle to the development of the hope star, and we still have at least a few thousand job vacancies, so in the next few years, we must introduce more supportive policies to encourage childbirth and optimize the population structure."

"Giving birth to a child rewards 10,000 merits!"

"Give birth to two children and come back to 10,000 merits!"

"In the future, for every additional child, 10,000 more merits will be added each time, and so on!"

"This is a policy aspect, a technical level, cloning will have too much social impact, it is good to encourage IVF, at least it can increase the fertility rate by a few percentage points."

"There is also the decline in fertility rate mainly caused by the difficulty of reproductive activities in a gravity-free environment, and the Hope Star is a hypergravity environment in this place, so why not increase the fertility rate? I also need a researcher to give an explanation of the reason to reassure me. ”

"In this way, in the next few years, there will be a little manpower supplement." Qiao Hehe felt a little sad when he thought that there were less than three children under the age of five in the only kindergarten in the education district. (To be continued.) )
