Chapter 363: Population
At this point, the speed of the five humanoid robots had slowed to a very low level, and they were slowly approaching the four ring-shaped devices.
When it is said to be slow, it is also said when it is relatively out of the beam channel, but in fact, the current speed is not low.
Looking at the four ring devices that were getting closer and closer, Zuo Dajun said with some excitement: "Seniors, which one shall we go to first?" Did you go to the space farm first, or the space ranch, or something else? "The four ring-shaped devices in front of me are not small.
Space Farm, Space Ranch, and Space Fishery are about the same size, and Biosphere 1 is much larger.
From a distance, the four ring-shaped devices rotate slowly, and the reason for doing so is to simulate gravity.
If you really want to say it, these four ring-shaped devices are all simulating the earth's environment, after all, the animals and plants that live in them are all on the earth.
Space farms, space ranches, and space fisheries are easy to understand, and they are used to grow crops, raise cattle and sheep and other livestock, and raise various fish.
All three are designed to solve the problem of human food. As for the No. 1 ecosphere, it is much more complicated, which is to simulate the living environment of the earth and prepare for the construction of new living places for human beings in the future.
Compared to the smaller No. 1 ecosystem, there is a larger No. 2 ecosystem. The former is just over 10,000 kilometers away from the Earth, while the latter is 3 million kilometers away from the Earth.
"Don't take a detour, the principle of proximity, visit the space farm in turn, and finally see the people stationed in the One biosphere." Xu Zhengping said.
In terms of distance and proximity, the order in the same orbit is like this, space farms, space ranches, space fisheries, and finally Biosphere 1.
A few people nodded. Fan Xiaoming said seriously: "There are a lot of people stationed in the No. 1 ecosystem, if it weren't for the cultivation of talents, these people don't actually need to be stationed here, to be honest, no matter how good they are stationed here, they are not as good as they are on the earth." In his opinion, no matter how simulated it is, no matter how good it is, it can't be better than it is on Earth.
Of course, there is no problem with being stationed here for security now. Whether it's an asteroid, debris or something like that, or something like the solar wind, it can be warned in advance, and it is also protected by the SS-defense system.
Xu Zhengping reminded: "It's because you are different, if you really want to talk about it, the difference between here and on the earth is really not big, no matter how much you estimate, you won't believe it, you will know when you go to see it." Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "I know something about this, life on the No. 1 biosphere is really no different from that on the earth, of course, the people stationed here are not here for tourism, the main purpose of their coming here is to engage in research, but then again, after the popularization of brain computers and upgraded humanoid robots, there will be no need to station personnel in this place." "When Biosphere One and Space Farm were built, brain-machines and upgraded humanoid robots had not yet appeared.
As for the first generation of humanoid robots, it is still okay to do some rough work, but there is nothing you can do if you do some fine work.
That's why there's so much of a lot of people stationed here. Of course, with the brain-computer and the upgraded humanoid humanoid robot, there is no need to station these personnel here, after all, this place is only more than 10,000 kilometers away from the earth.
Compared to here, the No. 2 biosphere and some other space facilities that are more than 700,000 kilometers away from the earth, these will have to be stationed.
The distance is too far away, and it is not possible to remotely control the humanoid humanoid robot.
"That is, there is no need to station personnel in the future, as long as it is not too far away." Zuo Dajun smiled,
"I've heard that eighty percent of the lunar immigrants are going to be yellow, and at the distance between the moon and the earth, the humanoid robot can be controlled remotely, and it really doesn't matter if there is anyone stationed or not." Speaking of which, this is also a problem caused by too fast development.
The industrial cities on the front side of the moon can provide 20 million permanent population, and the related facilities are under construction, and now they want to change it, after all, everything that should be built has been built, and now the finishing touches are being done.
But now it's embarrassing. Neither the general public nor the relevant departments are interested in migrating to the moon.
Ordinary people think that there is no point in going to the moon, and the relevant departments also think so, everyone knows that remotely controlled humanoid robots can do everything they can do on the moon, so everyone has no interest in immigrating to the moon.
At the beginning, there were all kinds of encouragement and subsidies, but now there are no more of them when going to the moon. Now the attitude of both sides is very clear, it is to go to the moon if they want to go to the moon, completely voluntarily.
As for those benefits, the target has now shifted to immigrating to Mars. According to the existing plan, after landing on Mars, the next step is to develop Mars and settle.
Compared with the Moon, Mars is much farther away from the Earth, and it is impossible to rely on remote control of humanoid robots.
There is only a way to immigrate.
"Huang is Huangbei! Who told us to develop so fast," Bao Qi said and looked at Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming,
"If we come up with a genuine heavy photon aerospace engine and a miniaturized proton fusion device, we can now start anew in the solar system, of course, I would like to see this scene, after all, we will only get stronger and stronger."
"That's it!" Xu Zhengping nodded,
"Everyone is not interested in going to the moon, but everyone is interested in Mars, as far as I know, the number of people applying to go to Mars has exceeded 10 million, and this number is still increasing." Fan Xiaoming shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, now these people are clamoring to go to Mars, and they may lose interest after a while, as for the resident Mars, to be honest, there are people who are willing now, but there are not many." "Since the asteroid collision occurred half a year ago, with the completion of the Sanmen Project and the construction of the Orbit of the Earth Industrial Zone, people have gradually lived a prosperous life.
For now, even if you don't work and lie at home, you can live a well-off life, and you can live a rich life by working an hour or two a day.
It is for this reason that two situations arise. On the one hand, there are almost no more cases of fighting for life and survival like in the past, and more people are living their own lives.
On the one hand, everyone lives a prosperous life, and at this time, everyone begins to pursue their interests and do what they like.
When such a situation occurs, there are fewer people willing to emigrate. The reason why this is so is because of the habitual thinking of this generation, which seeks a stable life.
And then there's the fact that with the development of the solar system, the population gap is getting bigger and bigger. Options to massively increase the population through artificial uterus technology are already being studied.
According to relevant research, relying on natural population growth cannot keep up with the pace of human development. If the demographic problem is not addressed, it will only slow down the pace of development.
"Yes! It's the truth. Zuo Dajun said,
"In the past, I may have migrated to the moon and Mars for a better life or something, but now as long as I have a job, a house, money or something, I will live a rich life on the earth, who is okay and likes to toss, to be honest, many people in our generation are unwilling to toss, at most they will travel, or a short-term stay, I think it still depends on our next generation, maybe our next generation prefers to toss." A year ago, the vast majority of people were still struggling for houses, tickets, etc., in order to live a prosperous life with their families.
At that time, if you could immigrate to the moon and Mars to give a house, a car and a deposit, there would be a lot of people queuing up to go.
But today, a year later, everyone can work casually, have a house, a car, and money, and easily live a rich life.
But then again, the most comfortable and comfortable people who live now are those who have houses and land in the countryside.
A year ago, I wanted to buy a house in the city, and it was very difficult. But now, the cities of the past have declined, and those who live in the cities now are the aborigines, and those who have houses and land in the countryside have returned to the countryside.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "It may really depend on our next generation, we people are more willing to stay on the earth, stay in the solar system, the next generation may be different, in our eyes, the earth is our home, and the positive ones will think that the solar system is our home, but the next generation, or the new generation, is different, they think that their home is the Milky Way, or even the universe, and they will naturally not be like us." ”
"There's no way around it, after all, a small fish pond can't raise big fish, and it's good to be able to look at the galaxy like ours." Zuo Dajun said,
"Besides, the new generation is not the same environment as we grew up in, so to speak, they are not born to worry about survival, they are fully qualified to do what they want to do, such as exploring the universe away from the solar system, for us people may be away from home adventure, for them may be exploring their own home." Speaking of which, it is still developing too fast, and these people don't have time to adapt.
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "Of course, the idea of the new generation may be completely different from ours, but in the current situation, the number of the new generation is worrying, to be honest, the growth of the population is really not as fast as our development speed, or in a few years, we estimate that the speed of development will slow down due to population problems." "With a population of more than a billion people, there are really not many scattered in the entire solar system.
There aren't many of them that are far from Earth. Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said, "We can rely on digital life!" Speaking of which, digital life is not about making as much as you want. "Population is really a big issue for future development.
In the early days of the development of the solar system, more than one billion people could barely sustain themselves, but with the development of the solar system, more and more people will need to participate.
Not to mention the development of the extrasolar space, no one can maintain the full development of the solar system.
"It's not a good idea to take advantage of digital life." Bauchi is saying,
"First of all, digital life is still being studied, and it is still unknown when the research will be successful, even if it is successfully developed, we will use digital life to develop the solar system and develop the universe, and we are not afraid of digital life replacing it, so it is better to use technical means to increase our population significantly, if conditions permit, how much to increase the population is not a problem." In his opinion, it is one thing to study digital life, and it is another thing to apply it.
Besides, the original intention of studying digital life was to develop the virtual universe, or to create life in the virtual universe, or to say the aborigines.
Digital life will not be allowed to participate in the real world unless it is absolutely necessary. Comparatively speaking, digital life has advantages that humans do not have.
The core of digital life is the transparent ball that carries consciousness, and as long as this transparent ball exists, this digital life can exist.
With this advantage, humans can't do digital life.
"I think so too, this is to replace us humans with digital life, this is not a knowingly way." Fan Xiaoming said,
"It is better to use scientific and technological means to increase the number of population, as far as the current science and technology are concerned, it is ethical to use technical means to increase the population, and the rest is easy to say, but it is foreseeable that with the development of the solar system, the demand for population will only increase, and eventually the number of people will be increased by technical means."
"Yes, I'm not in favor of using digital life either." Xu Zhengping said,
"This is too risky, I don't want our human beings to be replaced, if I want me to say, we should increase the number of our human population, as long as the number of human population is large enough, and it is scattered throughout the universe, then it will not be so simple to wipe out our human beings, even if there are other intelligent life in the universe, it is also difficult to exterminate our human beings." Su Zhe smiled and said: "A few days ago, I also saw a paper on the universe and human society, which is about the future of mankind, and it is about increasing the population a lot, so that human beings are scattered throughout the universe, and in this way to avoid the possibility of human beings being wiped out." Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "I have also read this paper, and this paper has been concerned by the relevant departments, to be honest, this method is feasible, but the current conditions are not allowed, of course, after the success of the proton fusion device, we also have such conditions." ”
"This ...... If this is the case, then the universe will be lively in the future, and it is estimated that we humans will fight to the death. Zuo Dajun said.
Fan Xiaoming said: "This is better than fighting with some new humans and digital life, and we human beings will not be wiped out after all." While they were discussing, a beam of light flashed not far away, and they saw an explosion not very far away, followed by multiple beams.
A few people took a few looks, and knew that it was the SS-Defense System removing the asteroid and some debris.
For this kind of small volume, it is basically directly turned into ash, and recycling is a complete waste of time.
This happens all the time in space, and it's not unusual.
