Chapter 355: Space Migration
PS: Thank you for your support from the optimistic clam bun classmates!
Act now!
Countless people quickly responded to the call to greet and submitted their information as soon as possible.
Citizens who meet the recruitment criteria received a reply at the first time, confirming that they have passed the first round of recruitment screening.
The number of recruits is soaring at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye, with as many as 15 million people choosing to join the immigration operation on the first day alone, and by the third day, the number of people who have registered on the website has reached 100 million.
With such a huge population base, it is completely more than enough to screen 10 million volunteers for the first immigration, so the official quickly ended the volunteer registration work and locked in the number of applicants, and this 10 million volunteers are completely enough to screen among the 10 times the scale of the group of people who meet the basic conditions.
On the one hand, the organizers can select the best of the best, as far as possible to select a group of the most suitable high-quality population for the resettlement project, on the other hand, they can avoid personnel as much as possible, coordinate some work on the earth, and remove the indispensable core personnel from the selection group for all walks of life on the earth, some high-level projects, so as not to affect some normal work arrangements on the earth, and reduce the losses caused by personnel blood pumping to various related industries on the earth。
This is also similar to the earth's well-populated civilization, can enjoy the benefits, as many as 10 million people, said that the transfer can be extracted, but also try not to affect the original normal work, change to a civilization with a slightly smaller population, solemn things are simply impossible.
For the earth's civilization, although this 10 million population is not a small number, for the total population of the earth, it only accounts for less than 1/10,000, and the impact is irrelevant, even if there are some.
Of course, the population base is one thing, and being able to have so many people respond to the official call at once is also inseparable from the excellent population quality cultivated by the earth's civilization over the years, as well as the earthlings' organization has always maintained a fairly good official reputation over the years.
For the vast majority of earthlings, because of high-quality scientific and cultural education, as well as the exploration and yearning for astronomy and space that has been growing continuously for more than 200 years of earth civilization, and the development of the aviation industry, earthlings are full of curiosity and desire for exploration of interstellar time and space.
And the resettlement project of the first extraterrestrial planet of the earth's civilization has aroused the heartfelt yearning of quite a few people at once.
For some young and ambitious earthlings, the development of the earth's civilization is certainly quite good, but the development space on the earth is already quite narrow, and in the eyes of some people, no matter how hard they try, it is extremely difficult to achieve enough success and status.
Relatively speaking, there is a new planet with unlimited development potential, but it has given many young people a hope to rise. For the first batch of volunteers to colonize outer space, a brand new planet is undoubtedly full of potential for development, and a new planet, with the size of a planet, but only 10 million people to share the cake, no matter how you think about it, it is much richer than the resources on the earth.
The advantage of fewer people and fewer people, as long as you have a little ability and are willing to give full play to your wisdom, it is not difficult to get ahead, even if you can't do some of the highest positions on the new planet, but from the grassroots level, it is easy to wait for the opportunity to come out. To put it mildly, when you arrive on a new planet, even if you are a farmer who repairs the earth, you can easily get a large amount of land, make a fortune and become a small landlord or something, how can there be such a good thing on the earth?
And with the population size and scientific and technological level of the earth's civilization, the new planet will not be desolate for many years, and I am afraid that it will not take one or two hundred years before it will be overcrowded like the earth again, with a population of billions, which is simply a joke. For some of the younger ones, there is a chance in their lifetime to see such a situation become a reality, and then the large amount of land in their hands alone will be worth the price of the ticket, and it will be a worthwhile adventure.
They are all high-quality talents in the interstellar era, who is more stupid than whom? It is precisely because of this kind of heart and mind that so many talents are willing to stay away from Sangzi and go to the alien world they have never met to work hard. Although the hearts of a considerable number of these people are full of utilitarian trade-offs and considerations, it does not affect the positive factors in their behavior in the slightest.
And the reason why so many people are willing to take huge risks, travel a distance of 20 light years, and go to the alien planet to develop, is also quite a lot of reasons is that the earth government has never disappointed the people in these years, since the earth government has been in power, it can be said that there has been development every year, there have been innovations every year, and countless technologies and innovations that were once difficult to achieve in people's eyes have been realized in the hands of the government.
In the past, faced with the official development blueprint of the Earth government, many professionals who thought that they had the vision and knowledge were very impatient with its long-term goal of pushing the earth's population to 100 billion, believing that this was simply impossible.
They refuted and opposed the official policies of the Earth Government from various angles, believing that the carrying capacity of the Earth, whether in terms of climate, ecology, environment, space, water resources or other aspects, could not carry such an order of magnitude as hundreds of billions of people, and once they tried to act against the sky, it would only lead to catastrophic consequences in the end.
As a result, the official government of the earth was unmoved, and unswervingly promoted the orderly implementation of the established tasks, and the earth's population went from less than 10 billion to easily cross the 10 billion population mark, and then 20 billion 30 billion, almost without difficulty, pushed the population to the level of 50 billion, until the earth's population reached the level of 80 billion, the growth rate of the earth's population only rose a little weaker, but in the end, the earth's population was pushed to the super-scale of 100 billion, and the statistics of all the population bases of the entire earth civilization and the entire solar system, together the population number, was more than 120 billion, so that countless opponents for a hundred years, the experts who oppose it to death have to admit before they die that they are really blind.
There are many, many similar Dalian in the world, and many of the official actions of the Earth Government have achieved amazing results in the end, and the achievements have added up to create the incomparable credibility of the Earth Government. So much so that the First Emperor, which has just been successfully cast, even if it has never really carried out an ultra-long-distance interstellar voyage, and is ready to play the extreme mode with tens of millions of people on its first mission, a considerable number of people still want to believe in the credibility of the Earth government, and subconsciously think that this interstellar migration will have a smooth journey.
People are more concerned about the opportunities and challenges brought to them by this migration, and what kind of life transition they will achieve from this interstellar migration, rather than thinking about what to do in the event of a space accident?
Well, in fact, many people have had a trace of concern in their hearts, but it's useless to worry about it when I think about it, it's really going to happen, as a passenger, it's useless to worry about it, it's still going to be finished, just don't think about that possibility, how to say that by taking an adventure to achieve a chance to turn a life turn, this is also quite profitable, I want to have this opportunity and can't meet it, the development of earth civilization to this day, thousands of years of civilization history, now it's the turn of such an opportunity, how to miss it?
So for most applicants, there is only one question they are worried about: what if they don't make the cut?
If you don't choose this time, if you have the opportunity next time, I'm afraid you will have to wait at least 20 years, and whether you have the opportunity to participate in the next immigration project by then, I'm afraid the hope will be even more slim.
In the midst of the anxiety and waiting of these hundreds of millions of people, soon, in the next few days, the review was passed one after another, and the list of 10 million candidates who were finally established arrived in the hands of the corresponding applicants, which made some people happy at the same time, but also disappointed more people.
Those who are relatively young, only twenty years old, or even thirty or forty years old, it is better to say some, wait for twenty years, after a period of baptism and post training, maybe there is the next chance to sign up, those who are older will be miserable, and after twenty years, they have become seventy or eighty old people, and there is no chance to sign up. Yes, this life is inseparable from the solar system, only to work hard in the local area, and wait for the next time your children and grandchildren have the opportunity to go again.
After the selection is over, all the selected volunteers are given a week of preparation and farewell time, so that they can take the opportunity to settle their personal affairs on the earth, go to say goodbye to relatives and friends, play for a few days if they should have a few days of fun, once they get on the spaceship, these passengers must enter the hibernation capsule, twenty years in the blink of an eye, and after more than twenty years, they have either reached the new colonized planet, or have turned into interstellar dust, and wandered forever in the starry sky.
For an entry-level faster-than-light spacecraft like the First Emperor, because the speed of faster-than-light cruise is too slow after all, only three times the speed of light, and the flight has to be interrupted many times in the middle to carry out cooling, maintenance, and other facilities such as faster-than-light space engines. Maintenance and other work, a journey combined with a considerable time consumption, often decades of flight time is just a norm, in this way, has expanded the carrying capacity to the extreme, it is impossible to carry enough to protect the consumption of tens of millions of people for decades, even if all kinds of materials are recycled, the spacecraft simply does not have that much space.
Not to mention the total number of tens of millions of passengers, even the team members of the spacecraft driving, management, maintenance and other subsystems with a total number of more than 20,000 people must also enter the hibernation cabin in batches.
It's just that the operation team of the spacecraft is slightly more advanced than ordinary passengers, and the passengers are using a large batch of public life cabins, and in a large sleep cabin, there are three to five passengers, after receiving the dormancy medicine and the connection of the biomass circulation system, they will partner up in the public warehouse for decades and become good friends or good friends who have shared the bed for decades.
The system staff of the spacecraft operation team, because they may need to terminate the dormancy at any time to accept the mission, correspondingly, each person can enjoy a separate private hibernation podium, which takes up slightly more space than the average passenger.
However, for the sake of saving space, all the dormant compartments on the spacecraft are set up in the public spacecraft space, and all the cabins are intelligently operated by the spacecraft management system, like arranging parking spaces, densely stacked together, the distance between the various compartments is extremely dead, because of the orbital passage system between the cabins, there is a distance of three to five centimeters between each other, if outsiders break into the public space of the spacecraft where the dormant compartment is located, I am afraid that at first glance it will be scared half to death.
Dense translucent crystal coffins, there are more than three or five people sleeping inside, less than only one person, wearing a white coat and a pale face of the "dead corpse", some of the crystal coffins are even empty, the number of these crystal coffins is indescribable, row after row of densely packed, like a huge indescribable corpse warehouse, it can really scare people to pee.
What is particularly terrifying is that some of the "crystal coffins" on the periphery, which store the spaceship operators, will be transferred out of the "corpse array" under the control of the intelligent system at every turn, and the crystal coffins that move silently in the spacecraft alone are like scenes that only appear in horror movies.
The fact is that it is just that the spacecraft operators under the control of the intelligent control system, before waking up from hibernation, first enter the crew cabin to standby, once they wake up from hibernation, the crew will be more or less uncomfortable, and some personal affairs will be dealt with first, washing, bathing, changing clothes, solving personal physiological hygiene, and eating some food, etc., these things must be done in a relatively private room.
It's not that the spaceship designers deliberately want to make it like this, it's just that the spacecraft space is too compact, and every inch and millimeter of space must be used to the extreme in order to maximize the value of this spaceship.
After all, the comprehensive marginal cost of this kind of faster-than-light immigration spaceship is unimaginably high, and even a big plug-in company like the Earth Civilization has taken a lot of effort to save one, and it almost didn't take all the bottoms to make it. In this kind of civilization and strategic super science and technology creation, there is really no spare energy to engage in any humanized design, ergonomic design or anything, in short, the whole and healthy as possible to "refrigerate" people for decades, the most important thing is to send people to the destination safely, the passenger capacity is second only to the safety of the consideration items, in addition to what comfort, taboo or something, but it is not included in the reference standard.
