Galaxy 3, May 5.

The earth is still the same, extreme weather brought about by global cooling is becoming more frequent, and the free world is still intriguing internally under this huge climate crisis.

Homo sapiens, which has a firm presence in the Diaoyutai area, continues to expand its offshore platforms on the high seas and continues to absorb human resources in eastern Asia.

Unconsciously, the number of employees owned by Homo sapiens once again broke through a record high, reaching a huge scale of 3.4 billion.

As the company has more and more employees, the management has also begun to plan ahead.

As Homo sapiens encourages employees to actively procreate, the current natural population growth rate of Homo sapiens was 5.13% last year.

Of course, the reason for such a high natural growth rate is, on the one hand, that employees have no burden of childbirth, which leads to the common situation of three or four children in many families.

On the other hand, the mortality rate has dropped dramatically, and the average life expectancy has reached 107 years.

The combination of the two makes the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens seem a bit high.

In this regard, the management of Homo sapiens does not have the idea of suppressing employee fertility, after all, suppressing employee fertility is easy to backfire, and encouraging fertility is the best choice for Homo sapiens at present.

As for whether the population will explode because of this.

Homo sapiens doesn't have any worries.

Even if there is no way to develop a habitable alien planet in a short period of time, with the current resources of the earth alone, as long as Homo sapiens is reasonably deployed, let alone feeding 3.4 billion employees, even if this scale is increased to 10 billion, the company can still afford it.

That being the case, why suppress fertility?

Not only should it not be suppressed, but it should be encouraged to ensure that the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens can be maintained at more than 3% for the next two decades.

Apparently the management of Homo sapiens is a little inflated.

The general view of the management is that after a large number of new human employees gradually become scientific researchers, the company will completely break free from the limitations of the earth in the next two decades, so as to enter the first civilization, and gradually move towards the second civilization.

The company's employees, who are highly confident, are generally optimistic about the future development.

As a result, many people don't care about the consequences of population explosion, and Homo sapiens is so confident.

Of course, self-confidence is self-confidence, and they have not lost a penny in the investment in technology research and development that should open up living space.

Li Qingye has been obsessed with scientific research recently, and does not pay much attention to the management of the company, as long as there is no problem with the general direction, he usually does not interfere with the management's ideas.

And the management is doing their best to grow the company.

For example, this time the space division held a symposium.

Liu Zhifan, as the head of the industrial management department, Wang Xinya, the head of the finance department, Xiang Jiang Mingxuan, the head of the science department, and several other department heads all appeared at the symposium.

The head of the space division was Mikoyan, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he did not have stage fright, but called up a plan and put it in front of everyone through holographic projection:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the testing of the Cloud Palace project is going very well, judging from the current operating situation, everything is in line with the expected assumptions, and we plan to start the second phase of the project......"

"Ahem, Dr. Mikoyan, are you sure Venus is suitable for humans to live on it for a long time?" Wang Xin had a suspicious expression on his face.

Dr. Mikoyan nodded: "The Science Division has carried out relevant experiments at the Cloud Palace Base, and some anthropomorphic subjects have stayed on it for a maximum of 273 days, and no obvious discomfort or problems have been found. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Mingxuan also had to come out to speak, after all, the scientific research work of the Cloud Palace project was carried out by their scientific division, and it was necessary for him to answer other people's questions.

Jiang Mingxuan cleared his throat: "Hmm...... In our simulation experiments, animal experiments, and anthropomorphic experiments, we have not found any space disease in the microgravity space station, and Venus is also the closest terrestrial planet to the Earth in the solar system......"

As he explained, he pulled up some data about Venus.

For example, the surface gravity values of the major planets in the solar system are as follows:

Mercury: 3.70 Newton/kg

Venus: 8.78 Newtons/kg

Earth: 9.80 Newton/kg

Mars: 3.72 Newton/kg

Jupiter: 23.12 New/kg

Saturn: 12.50 Newtons/kg

Uranus: 8.70 New/kg

Neptune: 11.40 Newton/kg

Among them, the surface gravity of the three planets Earth, Venus, and Uranus is the closest.

However, Uranus is a gas planet, and it is much farther away from Earth than Venus.

Therefore, Venus is more suitable for becoming a second home for humans in terms of gravity and distance.

Liu Zhifan didn't doubt the research of the Science Division, but he had some doubts about how to transform Venus, after all, from the Venus data provided by Jiang Mingxuan, he could see a lot of very tricky data.

For example, the surface temperature is 500 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is 100 times that of the earth's sea level, 97% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, and most of the rest is sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.

He asked, "Dr. Mikoyan, how do you plan to overcome the harsh environment of Venus?" ”

Mikoyan, who had been prepared for a long time, explained to everyone: "This is the core of the second phase of the project, please see ......"

The holographic projection lists a large array of idea models and diagram data.

He pointed to the Venus model and said: "At present, the Yungong base has been testing the synthesis process of vacuum carbon balls, and from the test situation, the carbon ball synthesis fungus is very stable, and it has not encountered the same problems as the space station and the lunar base." ”

"Venus's atmosphere is rich in carbon dioxide resources, which is convenient for local materials, and we plan to build a large-scale solar power station in Venus's low earth orbit to take advantage of Venus's proximity to the sun and make full use of its solar resources."

Liu Zhifan looked at the huge Venus orbital solar power station project, and involuntarily rubbed his temples: "Will this scale be too large?" ”

Because the scale of the Venus orbital solar power station planned by the Space Division is indeed amazing, it is basically to build a large circle of solar panels around the equator in the low earth orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers on Venus.

However, Mikoyan shook his head: "Minister Liu don't worry, we don't plan to send materials from the earth, but plan to build solar panels and satellite main equipment at the Yungong base, and the earth only needs to provide a small part of the precision instruments." ”

"Is that so? That's something you can consider. Liu Zhifan nodded.

As long as there is no need to transport such a huge amount of supplies from Earth to Venus, then everything is well said.

"By supplying electricity from orbital solar power plants, we can continuously extract gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide from Venus's atmosphere, and we can solve a large part of the raw material problem."

Then Mikoyan continued: "As the scale of the Cloud Palace base continues to expand, the Cloud Palace can basically stabilize, and then we can use the floating platform to sink to the surface of Venus......

Wang Xinya asked, "Why don't you use carbon nanotube cables?" ”

Jiang Mingxuan explained the situation to her: "Carbon nanotubes cannot withstand high temperatures, and the surface of Venus maintains a high temperature of 500 degrees Celsius all year round, so you can only use nano-ceramic coating and high-temperature resistant alloy cables. ”

"I see." Wang Xinya suddenly realized.
