Chapter 533: Project Locust
Against the backdrop of large-scale construction, the summer tentatively set the migration plan for 20 years. Because of an interstellar war ten years later, he can't escape, and ten years of construction time, he can't have enough resources yet.
After the end of the war, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably have great damage, so post-war reconstruction and post-war recovery are indispensable, so adding ten years is a more ideal number. That's 20 years.
During these two decades, in addition to the need to gather and hoard a large amount of energy and material resources, he also needed a large number of population resources. Now that the combined population of the Winders and Odlais on the Beacon Star is more than 40 million, he does not intend to let these Beacons continue to swell, so he does not implement the population plan of the Beacon Planet.
The 40 million Lighthouse Stars are just an excessive substitute for the Ming Dynasty's population development plan, because the current population of the earthlings cannot keep up, so they can only be temporarily replaced by the Beacon Stars.
He is not like Wu Ruize, Wu Ruize's messenger civilization, as long as the population is not enough, he can go to the earth at any time to recruit him. And he can only grow in the summer through population planning.
Deliberately suppressing the growth of the native population, and vigorously developing the growth of the foreign population, that is, the growth of the earthlings, his goal is to reach 1 billion earthlings in 20 years through the population plan.
As we reach a population of 1 billion, the resources must keep up. These resources include sufficient energy reserves to carry out interstellar voyages and special events such as wars throughout civilizations.
As well as sufficient material resources, including vehicles of all classes, from large fortress-class spaceships and dreamcatcher-class motherships, to small nanobots.
Migrating destination: Dark Sun.
The dark sun, also known as Barnard's star, is in a wonderful position, 6 light-years from the lighthouse star and 6 light-years from the Earth.
The star of the galaxy where the lighthouse star is located is the star of the other side, which is called the alpha star in earth science. Alpha, Sun, and Barnard form an isosceles triangle. Barnard's star is the fixed point of this isosceles triangle, and Alpha Star and the Sun are the two corners of the base of this isosceles triangle.
In the records of the Secret Book of the Firmament, there is a living planet in the dark sun, which is very suitable for human survival and habitation. It is the closest living star to a beacon star outside of Earth's solar system.
The next stop is the star with the living environment, which is more than 100 light-years away from the lighthouse. So the dark sun is the preferred star for interstellar colonization in the summer, and the planet that orbits this star has no name yet, only one number: A001. It was officially named Snow Star, and that was only after the return of Nobita and Kora 20 years later.
Why not Earth, the preferred station for interstellar colonization?
Because the earth is the home planet of the Ming Dynasty, with a population of more than 10 billion, this alone cannot colonize it in the summer. Therefore, Barnard Dark Sun is the best choice for Daming's preferred station for interstellar colonization.
It is an indisputable fact that in order to colonize the dark sun, it is necessary to have sufficient resources. At the current state of technology, it would take at least 80 years to travel to the dark sun 6 light-years away. Twenty years later, when migration and colonization were carried out, technology may have developed and sailing time would have decreased. However, the speed of development will not be too fast, and it is possible that it will stagnate, and various factors should be taken into account, so the current level of science and technology is still used as a measure.
Therefore, Daming needs to prepare the resources of 2 billion people for 160 years in advance, and then carry out interstellar migration. It is necessary to prepare for a large number of people, that is, 1 billion people should be prepared for 2 billion people, and the resources required for an 80-year voyage should be prepared for 160 years.
2 billion people, 160 years, that's an unimaginably large number. And all of this will need to be done in 20 years, and in the meantime, there will be preparations for an interstellar war.
If civilization wants to develop in the long run, it is necessary to have the idea of interstellar colonization, and this idea must be maintained forever. So under the premise of this idea as a general background, Summer proposed the Locust Project.
The so-called locust plan is to vigorously develop the population, exploit resources without restrictions, and when the resources are exhausted, they will change to another place, and that situation is like locusts transiting, so it is called the locust plan. The first step of the Locust Project is to mine all the resources that can be mined by the Lighthouse Star and the three-star system on the other side of the Lighthouse Star.
This was inspired by a Hollywood science fiction movie I watched when I was young in the summer, about aliens predating around like locusts and invading the earth.
Now the civilization he leads will also experience this kind of behavior that other civilizations hate, but this way is the best way for civilization to develop, at least in Summer's opinion.
The meeting lasted for a period of time, and Huangfu Arctic went to arrange spacecraft to mark the coordinates, and there are currently more than 100 spacecraft that can be used to carry out this mission, all of which are unmanned. Arrangements were made, and the collective launch began three days later.
After the meeting, everyone dispersed, and in the summer, he left the conference room alone and came to the command hall again, and the students had begun to gradually familiarize themselves with the various equipment in the hall. Seeing these children, the summer seems to have returned to forty years ago, when he was only 17 years old, in his third year of high school, preparing for the college entrance examination, and the classmates also talked and laughed among themselves, which was very pleasant, and now I miss that good time very much. Especially his first love, Mira, cannot be forgotten from his mind in any way.
A girl, who was carefully observing in front of the three-dimensional projection sand table, couldn't help but be confused for a while, and shouted at the girl's back: "Xiaola! ”
The girl ignored him, and when Summer was about to shout again, it suddenly sounded, Xiaola was not here, she was lost in the other world, and did not come back. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel annoyed, and I turned around and was about to walk away.
The girl turned around, looked stunned, and asked, "Your Excellency, were you calling me just now?" ”
Xia stopped his feet, saw that the girl turned out to be Bai Ziying, and said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”
"Are you ......" Bai Ziying asked suspiciously.
"I think you're my daughter now, alas......" Summer was a little frustrated, he missed Lara so much, "I don't know how she's doing now." ”
"Chief, don't be too sad," Bai Ziying comforted, "Xia Xiaola is a princess and the first daughter, she must have her own natural appearance, she will definitely come back from evil to auspiciousness, can you believe me?" ”
Summer just smiled bitterly.
Bai Ziying smiled and said: "Chief, if you don't dislike me for being a child, I am willing to accompany you for a walk and tell us some interesting things at school, and I don't know if you want to hear it." ”
Summer tilted his head and said, "If I don't appreciate the light, you will definitely be very shameless." Okay then, let's go. ”
There is never love for no reason in the world, it's just that there are reasons that you can't understand, and I didn't confess. Maybe you just smiled when we met, or maybe you frowned. So, I loved. So, here I am.
