Chapter 648: Brave New World (5)
Before the two of them knew it, they walked near the Interstellar Migration Division under the Department of Space Colonization.
Ye Shuwen looked up at the star map symbol of the solar system: "I heard that this place can apply to work in other interstellar colonies. ”
"What, you kid want to go to an alien colony?" Xiao Yong sat on the roadside bench and asked curiously.
"It's just curiosity, and we, as interns, shouldn't be eligible to apply to work and live in an alien colony." Ye Shuwen took a sip of aloe vera juice.
The holographic projection device at the entrance of the Interstellar Immigration Division is playing propaganda videos of the Venus colonies, Mars colonies, and Jupiter colonies.
Venus's floating island city agglomeration and Mars Zhurong City, these colonial cities suitable for human habitation for a long time, have a large population at this time.
Venus, in particular, currently has a permanent population of about 870,000, making it the second most populous place outside of Earth.
Xiao Yong wiped his eyes and yawned: "Ha...... This weather is so suitable for sleeping, I heard that going to settle on Venus requires physical transformation, so I don't know how to do it. ”
"The company will definitely not harm us, after all, there is no need for that." Ye Shuwen didn't have much resistance to body transformation.
After all, at present, there are many human body modifications in various life extension technologies of Homo sapiens.
If you are a body fundamentalist, you are not even eligible to join Homo sapiens.
For example, the conservative natural person group in West Asia believes that Homo sapiens' human modification technology is a devil's act.
Homo sapiens doesn't care about this, after all, the other party is unwilling to accept the life extension transformation, and the company has not yet forced others to live a long life.
It's a two-way street.
Those who are willing to accept the modification of the human body are the new humans.
Those who are not willing to accept the anatomy of the human body should be their natural person.
Since Ye Shuwen and others are willing to join Homo sapiens, it means that they are already mentally prepared in their hearts, otherwise they will not be able to pass the first level of biochip implantation.
After sitting at the door of the Interstellar Immigration Division for a while, the two of them wandered aimlessly again.
The population of Ubon Ratchathani is indeed small, and the probability of Ye Shuwen and his wife meeting other employees is the same as in the countryside in the countryside.
This is due to the fact that Homo sapiens operates a small-town model, where the population of a standard city usually does not exceed 500,000.
The standard city is usually very large, such as the city of Ubon Ratchathani in front of us, which is divided into five urban districts: central, eastern, western, southern, and northern, with 7 above ground and 6 underground in each urban area.
The "piece" here is a boundary layer with a height of about 50 meters, except for the top floor, which is generally about 200 meters high.
The dome area where Ye Shuwen walks now is actually the "top of the city" about 300 meters above the surface, and this kind of area is often parks and public facilities, and residential areas are underneath.
In fact, this kind of city can be seen as 13 cities superimposed from bottom to top.
So don't look at Ubon Ratchathani as a city, in fact, the population density here is very small.
If it weren't for this urban layout structure, with the demand for villas of 50 square meters per employee, plus a huge green area, the city would have become unprecedentedly large.
Although there are alien colonies such as Venus to divert some of the population, land resources can not be wasted, and it is better not to waste them.
Through this layered city layout, it not only improves the land utilization rate, but also avoids the decline in the quality of life caused by too dense urban population.
Walked for more than twenty minutes.
The two of them came to the edge of the dome, where they could see the world outside Ubon Ratchathani.
"It's like two worlds!" Ye Shuwen looked down at the barren wilderness in front of him.
With the exception of a part of the monuments that have been protected by special transparent conservation houses, the rest of the area has been abandoned.
The grass is overgrown and the vines are scattered.
More than a dozen Asian elephants are leisurely munching on sugar cane from an abandoned plantation in the wilderness.
Xiao Yong swiped his card to open a floodgate, and the two of them passed through the passage of the gate and came to a protruding viewing platform.
There are free binoculars to see the surrounding wilderness: "The company has decided to gradually abandon all wild plantations and arable land, and in the future it will become a primeval forest, steppe, and marshland. ”
"It's okay to give up, after all, the company is a first-class civilization, open-air agriculture is of little value, and it is easy to be affected by natural disasters." Ye Shuwen watched the dozen or so Asian elephants.
The elephants were previously raised at the local zoo and are now all back into the wild.
To be precise, it is the new humans who have withdrawn from the earth's natural ecosystem.
As Ye Shuwen said, the current Homo sapiens city and the wild natural environment are two different worlds.
The new humans are too strong to look down on the role of obtaining food and materials from the natural ecosystem, and now the earth's natural ecosystem is only left with scientific research and ornamental value for Homo sapiens.
Even the value of scientific research has dropped a lot.
After all, the earth's natural ecosystem cannot directly conduct biological experiments, and you must know that the second Pangea built by Homo sapiens on Ganymede now has much more biological resources than the earth.
The slow survival of the fittest in nature can no longer meet the needs of Homo sapiens, and only biological experimental fields similar to Pangea can conduct large-scale biological experiments.
At present, the role of the earth's ecosphere is greater than the value of scientific research.
Of course, the Science Division still attaches great importance to the wildlife resources of the earth's ecosystem, after all, this is the origin of human civilization, and the creatures here are most closely related to humans.
Ye Shuwen, who was watching the elephant eating sugar cane, asked casually while reading, "Ah Yong, what are you going to do?" In a few days, I will have to choose a career. ”
"I'm going to work at the Ceylon spaceport and study for a PhD in space engineering by the way, what about you?"
"I want to be involved in the work of the Far Star Group."
Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the business of this group: "Are you going to go to the alien colony to have a look?" ”
】
"Well, after all, synchronous robots and real people used to be about the same, and my parents must be working on Earth, so I don't have to leave home at that time, so it's more convenient." Ye Shuwen also wants to spend more time with his parents.
According to the company's regulations, only one child can work in the place where the parents work.
This means that once he gets married and has children, he has to go to other cities.
This is a hard and fast rule, and there is no such thing as an open net.
Although transportation is convenient now, the distribution is random.
If it's still assigned to Earth, that's a little better.
However, as it stands, the company has gradually reduced the number of new cities on Earth, and it is clear that this is a major push for the population to flow to the various alien colonies.
At that time, it is very likely that Ye Shuwen will be assigned to work in an alien colony.
