Chapter 369: Integration of Civilizations
Fortunately, to the relief of the surrounding civilizations, this fleet did not show too hostile and malicious intentions, and released goodwill to the surrounding civilizations to a large extent, and did not find the meaning of that civilization to play a game of killing chickens and monkeys.
But Rao is like this, the vast majority of civilizations still showed a gesture of wooing and filial piety in an instant, and consciously took the initiative to start offering to the Earth Fleet, in order to seek refuge and goodwill.
For these civilizations, the Earth Civilization Fleet is a very professional and very powerful interstellar warship formation after all, such a force, since people are here, you unconsciously and automatically provide maintenance and funds, so unreasonable, do you want people to take the initiative to do it? want to die!
After all, the civilizations here are all interstellar civilizations, although from the overall height of civilizations, there is a gap between them and the scientific and technological level of the earth civilization, but the technical systems developed by these civilizations independently are also quite unique, even for the earth civilization, it is also quite a reference.
However, the fleet of the earth civilization is a combat fleet after all, and there are strict control measures for items on board, in order to avoid being exploited by some civilizations with ulterior motives, so in addition to receiving some high-purity spaceship navigation fuel, some high-energy gems, special alloys, and rare element materials that are convenient for inspection, the things that are finally included in the cargo hold of the spaceship are only some plant seeds, animal embryos, fertilized eggs and other items with special value that are strictly sealed.
In addition to these physical properties, the Earth Fleet only receives technical materials and information on the inside pattern of various meteorite starships required by the Earth's own soil.
In order to better integrate into this civilization ecology, the earth civilization is also very well adapted to the local rules, while completing its own task of collecting intelligence, and at the same time, according to the importance of the gifts received from various civilizations, occasionally stand on the platform for a certain civilization, express some supportive attitudes, in addition, more attitudes are completely gone.
As for mentioning that a certain civilization is taking millet from the fire, fighting wars for others or something, the Earth Fleet has only one expression: you really think too much!
At this stage, the earth civilization has no plan to make a big move in the meteorite star sea.
After all, in the environment around the earth, the earth civilization still has a fairly broad space for development at this stage, since the strategic rear still has the potential to dig deeper, and there are broad development prospects, the earth civilization does not want to get involved in the civilization competition ecology of the meteorite star sea too quickly for the time being.
For a civilization like the earth, which has its own whole industrial system and can develop its own power almost infinitely, every day it grows and grows, the strength of the entire civilization will increase a little, and the overall strength of the civilization will grow by a point.
The reason why the earth civilization has placed a combat force in the meteorite star sea is just to maintain its own existence in the meteorite star sea in order to understand the pattern here at any time, and in addition, it will not devote too much energy to this time and space.
On the mainland of the earth, the basic plate of civilization that the earth's civilization is fully operating can also be said to be in full swing, and it is extremely prosperous, whether it is in terms of the number of people, the territory controlled by civilization, or the production and construction speed of faster-than-light ships, it has made great progress.
In 2360, the earth's civilization has mastered as many as ten alien colonizing planets in six star systems with the solar system as the core and a radius of 30 light-years, and the total population of each planet on the earth has reached a scale of about 250 billion.
With the support of a huge fleet of interstellar migration spacecraft that has been successfully built and has hundreds of faster-than-light migration spacecraft, and the number of spacecraft continues to grow every year, the native planets of the earth are carrying out large-scale interstellar migration to outer space with more than seven or eight billion people every year.
Such a huge number of immigrant populations have made the annual growth rate of the number of immigrants on each immigrant planet alone reach hundreds of millions of people, coupled with the continuous reproduction of the native population, in more than ten years, the population on each immigrant planet has reached a population of seven or eight billion.
In the era of interstellar civilization, such a large number of population is enough to form a certain scale of industrial division of labor system, so in the gradual development, these immigrant planets are still completing a certain scale of intellectual outsourcing division of labor tasks, but also gradually created their own industrial division of labor system, under the link of the faster-than-light cargo spacecraft between various planets, it is enough to form a new support for the entire industrial system of the entire earth civilization, and further refine the industrial division of labor system of the entire civilization.
At least under the support of the Earth Civilization Headquarters, these ten immigrant planets have fully possessed the production of various basic survival resources to meet their own populations, and they have also been involved in the industrial production of the superluminal spaceship manufacturing system to a certain extent.
With the continuous increase in population, the continuous expansion of civilization territory, the continuous development of branch production bases, and the continuous use of various intelligent machinery, coupled with the continuous improvement and improvement of the earth's civilization ecology, the overall productivity of the earth's civilization can be said to have entered a new level.
Although the core area of the solar system in the earth itself has continued to show a downward trend because of the continuous large-scale export of immigrants over the years, on the one hand, it is because the per capita productivity level has made great progress, and on the other hand, it is also because of the task division of labor that has outsourced a considerable part of mental labor, so that the productivity of the core circle of the earth's civilization has not only not decreased with the continuous reduction of the population, but has grown against the trend and has increased by a large margin.
In 2365, after repeated design changes, the scale has been expanded several times, and the overall production capacity of faster-than-light spacecraft has been increased by as much as 3 times compared with the original plan.
There is no doubt that although this is the first faster-than-light spacecraft production line in the history of Earth civilization, it is definitely not the last.
In fact, after the completion of the production and installation of the first spacecraft assembly line, the earth civilization has immediately started the formulation of the R&D and production plan for the second spacecraft assembly line, and the progress can be described as rapid development.
Not to mention the second faster-than-light spacecraft production line after it is completed in the future, what a huge spacecraft production capacity it will have after it is completed in the future, even if the production level of the existing production line that has been built is enough to double the overall spaceship production scale of the earth's civilization several times.
Now, with the support of this formed spaceship production line and the full support of the earth's complete production system, the number of faster-than-light spaceships that can be completed every ten years has reached a production scale of as many as fifty, and the types of these spaceships can still be adjusted, up to five types of faster-than-light spaceships can be produced, which is used to balance the supply demand of the entire earth civilization for different spaceship types.
It can be said that with the official operation of the first superluminal spacecraft assembly line built by the earth's civilization for hundreds of years, the earth's civilization's ability to produce faster-than-light spacecraft can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The production capacity of fifty different types of faster-than-light spaceships in ten years is enough even for a luxurious civilization like the Earth civilization, and the existence of these different types of spaceships, either ultra-high-light-speed passenger transportation, or large-scale interstellar migration, or military spaceships for offensive or defensive purposes, or super-large-scale cargo needs, the volume of spaceships ranges from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, and the existence of each of them can greatly play a role in promoting the productivity of civilization.
The large-scale operation of various models and different types of faster-than-light spacecraft is tantamount to completely connecting the different planets of the entire earth civilization for the entire earth civilization, so that the various planets form a rapid flow of organic whole, and the organic allocation of various manpower and material resources makes the 250 billion earth civilization population form a more perfect cooperative production division of labor, and maximize the optimization of the productivity level of the earth civilization.
This effect is definitely not as simple as words, but a kind of change that can be described as a change in the world, the productivity of more than ten planets on the entire earth is organically combined together, with a variety of convenient faster-than-light spaceships in the middle of the effective series, almost equivalent to existing on the same planet, although because the flight speed of the spacecraft can not reach dozens of times more than the speed of light flight state, so that the flow of various materials between the planets has a delay of several years, but for the development of interstellar civilization, it is already a nearly perfect state。
In this state of civilization that is almost completely integrated, the human and material resources between the planets can be said to be the largest form and circulation, and the productive forces between the planets are almost completely connected, which means something to a civilization in an interstellar era, which is completely self-evident.
This means that a civilization not only has almost unlimited living space, but also effectively avoids all kinds of civilization ills caused by excessive living space.
Just like before the earth civilization did not have such a strong superluminal production capacity, on the one hand, the earth civilization was limited by the number of spaceships and did not dare to expand the civilization space too unrestrainedly, and after expanding the expansion range of the earth civilization to the limit state of 30 light years, it stopped the pace of further expansion to the outside.
This is because, limited by the flight speed of the faster-than-light spacecraft produced by the earth civilization, as well as the number of spaceships owned by the earth civilization, the interstellar space distance of 30 light years is already the maximum distance that the earth civilization can master, once the migration distance exceeds 30 light years, the material connection between the newly developed migration star of the earth civilization and the earth civilization will be greatly affected by the isolation of time and space, not only the new immigrant planet will be difficult to integrate into the overall industrial division of labor pattern of the earth civilization in the future, but also over time, there may be a tendency to separate, which is undoubtedly very negative for the future development of the earth civilization。
In fact, not only the distance of immigrants is limited, but in recent years, the speed of industrial transplantation of new immigrants has also been greatly limited, and the growth of immigrants and the number of immigrants for many years has greatly enriched the population on each immigration star.
But on these immigrant planets, such a reality was not born, but billions of people, always in a state of hovering at the low end of the industrial chain, in addition to solving the initial problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation on each planet, the more high-end industrial links involving the production of spaceships are all restricted development, surplus population resources are only used for the development of various intelligent outsourcing tasks in the earth headquarters, and the development speed of new entities has always been artificially limited.
The reason for this is also due to the dual influence of the number of spaceships owned by the earth's civilization and the flight efficiency of the spacecraft.
The number of spaceships is not large, and the flight efficiency of the spacecraft is not high, which naturally leads to the difficulty of communication between many immigrant planets and the earth, in addition to the immigrant population, the problem of material exchange between the earth and the immigrant planet is always a big obstacle, and it cannot meet the actual needs, from the perspective of the planet, the difference between this magnitude of material exchange and no is not very big.
Such a situation may not be a problem in a short period of time, but once the time is extended to a scale of decades or even hundreds of years, all kinds of problems that affect the cohesion of civilization will inevitably emerge one after another.
It is precisely in order to avoid the tearing between civilizations that the earth government has always maintained great restraint and restraint on the issue of industrial transplantation to new immigrant stars, so that even if the new immigrant planets want to maintain a relatively independent state, they will be doomed to futility due to the problem of industrial defects, and they will not be able to achieve any climate.
