Chapter 378: Cruel Reality
The huge three-dimensional projection equipment shows a star map of the Andromeda Galaxy, around which all the high-level officials of the Earth Federation are listening to the report of the Earth Federation think tank.
"According to the strength of our Earth Federation, the most suitable star field for our development at the moment should be here." The think-tank man said as he clicked on the star map to zoom in on an area of it. "This field is numbered H199, and it has a black hole in the middle, and around this black hole, a large group of galaxies surrounds it.
According to the detection, there are more than 13,000 stars in this star field, more than 37,000 living planets, and countless resource planets. The most valuable thing is that all the star systems in this star field are gathered together, which is convenient for unified planning. ”
Everyone looked at the magnified area on the star map, thinking as the think tank explained.
"Wait a minute, I have a question. Although the place is nice, it's still a bit far from where we are now, so why don't we choose one that is closer to me.
If I remember correctly, 350 light-years away from us, there is a similar stellar cluster, and the guard of this stellar cluster is much weaker than the stellar cluster you mentioned.
So why did we choose this gathering area of the star system with a long distance and strong defensive strength? Zhao Ming suddenly stood up and said, and then enlarged another area of the star map.
The people from the think tank glanced at Zhao Ming's magnified place, and said confidently: "Mr. Minister, this star field was originally within our consideration, but after a comprehensive comparison, combined with the current situation of our Earth Federation, we are still in this area.
Although the H199 star field is 720 light-years away from us, and it will take a lot of time on the way there, in fact, our Earth Federation needs this time as a buffer.
First of all, we found out based on the information provided by scientists. Although the scientific and technological background of our Earth Federation is very huge, in fact, our real scientific and technological improvement speed is not as fast as that of some civilized races that specialize in a single discipline, because my discipline development is too much.
Now our Earth Federation still has the advantage of being a leader in science and technology. But this advantage is not because of our strong scientific and technological background, but because we have spent thousands of years more than other civilized races to study it little by little.
If on the way to the Andromeda Galaxy. Our Earth Federation, like other civilization races, is advancing through wormholes, so now the technology level of our Earth Federation is at most the middle of the fourth-level civilization, and whether it can break through the late stage of the fourth-level civilization is a question.
At present, there are three disciplines in our Earth Federation that are at the late level of fourth-level civilization, but all three disciplines are disciplines that are studied separately by human civilization. These three disciplines do not have the shared science and technology of other civilizations and races of the Earth Federation, so the research progress is far lower than that of other disciplines.
Then in such a situation, want to solve this drawback. In the past, we only had two methods, one was time, relying on time to accumulate and break through naturally. The second way is to absorb other civilized races to join the Earth Federation, so that these three disciplines can get the bonus of science and technology sharing.
Now we have a third approach, and that is to raise the population cap. As long as the population ceiling is raised, under the effect of the demographic dividend, more scientists will be born, as long as the number of scientists increases, at the same time. The progress of scientific research will definitely improve.
Therefore, we chose to go to H199 for the sake of time and population cap. On the way to the H199 field. We have to pass through 173 star systems, and there are 159 living planets in these star systems.
According to the calculation that a living planet can provide a population ceiling of 10 billion, 159 living planets can increase the population of the Earth Federation by 1.59 trillion people, even if only one-third of these 1.59 trillion people can become scientists, the number of scientists in our Earth Federation will more than quadruple.
And the remaining trillion people can increase the war potential of the Earth Federation. Now our Earth Federation looks strong, but this strength is based on galactic warships, once we don't have the advantage of galactic warships, just rely on fleets. Our Earth Federation is actually worse than many civilized races.
The war between the four civilizations can no longer be fought by remotely controlling unmanned warships. Then the only way to increase the potential of war is to increase the number of people.
According to our plan. Before arriving at the H199 star field, the Earth Federation's technology level must reach the peak of the fourth-level civilization, the number of scientists must exceed 800 billion, the number of soldiers must exceed 1.2 trillion soldiers, and 500 million warships, and complete the technological upgrade of the peak of the fourth-level civilization of the galaxy warship.
All of these plans will be completed within 1000 years, and with this buffer time, we will have the strength to eat the H199 star field, and make it the base of our Earth Federation in the Andromeda galaxy, which will also be the basis for future wars.
On the other hand, if we choose the H126 star field, 350 light years away, there are only 31 star systems on the way, and when we arrive at the H126 star field, the overall strength of our Earth Federation will not improve much at all.
At that time, if we wanted to lay down this star field, we would pay a great price, after all, the native civilization race of the Andromeda galaxy has been preparing for at least thousands of years, and we don't know what kind of challenges we will face in such a star field, which is why we gave up the H126 star field. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
Xiang Qian took the lead in applauding, and for a time there was thunderous applause in the venue.
After all, the think tank lived up to everyone's trust, and within three months, after comprehensively considering all the circumstances, it gave a satisfactory answer.
"Good, very good. I don't know if other people have other opinions, if there are no other opinions, then in the next 1000 years, we will have to implement this plan. After Xiang Qian finished speaking, he looked at the patriarchs of several races around him and asked them with his eyes.
Several of them said that there was no problem and fully agreed with the opinion of the think tank.
After unifying the opinions, Xiang Qian finally made a decision: "Then all departments should make phased plans according to the framework of this plan, adjust the focus of work, and all of them must be carried out around this plan." ”
After the meeting, Xiang Qian sat quietly in the office alone, with the projection of the Andromeda Galaxy in his eyes.
In fact, there is another real content of this plan that has not been made public, that is, after the population ceiling is raised, the human quality will be greatly improved.
To put it simply, if there are 200 billion scientists in a trillion people, then the remaining 800 billion people will join the military to fight against the native civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy. After these 800 billion people die 600 billion, the remaining 2,000 people are elite troops.
And the 600 billion people who die will become newborns, and 100 billion scientists may be born among these 600 billion people, then the remaining 500 billion people will continue to fight, and the dead will become newborns, leaving behind elite troops.
If the cycle continues, in the end, the Earth Federation will only have 50 percent of the scientists and 49 percent of the elite troops, as well as less than 1 percent of the personnel in other positions.
Although this plan is very cruel and completely made up of human life, it has to be said that at this time, in this special period. Xiang Qian has no other choice, and the Earth Federation has no other choice, this is reflected from the actual combat situation of the mecha unit before, and the elite must be trained in life and death, not at home.
This is the cruel reality, if Xiang Qian is merciful and does not agree with this order, then one day in the future, the Earth Federation will be wiped out by other civilized races because of his benevolence.
So although this order is very wreckage, and Xiang Gan's heart is also very uncomfortable, he has to do it, this is the universe, the cruel universe. (To be continued)
