PS: Thank you for the two monthly passes of the Wolf Blood Seal!

Without him, the amount of work is too huge.

Even if you want to build an underground magmatic power station that meets the standards, you need a series of complex projects as supporting construction equipment, and the total manpower and material resources required are absolutely astronomical.

According to calculations, a suitable ordinary type of underground magma power station, its scale will also be quite large, at the very least, similar underground magma pipelines, I am afraid that there must be hundreds of to be worth the fare, otherwise, in the underground magma layer near the excavation of large underground space, drilling and drilling, just in order to lay a magma power generation pipeline, it is inevitably too wasteful, that is obviously neither scientific nor economical.

For such a huge scale of underground magma power station, even hundreds of magma pipelines that are often hundreds of kilometers long are not the most huge expenses, the equipment required for the power station, all kinds of consumables, and all kinds of materials needed for industrial life are not counted, in fact, the most expensive thing is the development of huge underground space.

After all, it is not to build a power station on flat ground, but to drill dozens of kilometers below the ground, open up a huge underground space, and then build a power station in this underground space.

Even if we do not count the various technological advances since the new era, this large-scale underground space that is tens of kilometers deep below the stratum is an unimaginable project for the people of the earth.

After all, one is hidden dozens of kilometers underground. The construction of a large underground space project that is almost equivalent to a small town is almost as difficult as it can be imagined, compared with a culvert that is often dozens of kilometers long, and a railway line that stretches for thousands of kilometers, the difficulty is definitely not an order of magnitude. It is a large hole of several square kilometers, or even dozens of square kilometers, digging out a large hole of several square kilometers or even dozens of square kilometers into the depth of the rock layer dozens of kilometers underground, and this huge and difficult underground space is probably unimaginable for ordinary people...... It can almost be regarded as an underground abyss, and it is hard to imagine how huge the amount of work will be.

Because of such a huge underground space, even in terms of straight-line depth, tens of kilometers. This is equivalent to a guy with hundreds of floors connected to each other to fill in dozens of them, not to mention digging out a huge underground space at such a deep depth, even digging such a passage, the difficulty is about to break through the sky.

For such a huge underground project, the construction machinery that needs to be used and the amount of earthwork that needs to be excavated and transported is a suffocating number, not to mention the technical difficulties involved in the construction process.

Exactly in mind. Such a huge variety of Mars transformation projects often need to complete hundreds or even thousands. After the completion of these projects, it is necessary to make these projects work as soon as possible, and carry out the Martian core cooling project as soon as possible, and even if this cooling project is carried out smoothly, it is only the completion of the magnetic field restart part of the Mars transformation project.

And after this Mars geomagnetic restart project, there is also the Martian atmosphere transformation project, the Martian water transportation layer. A series of major projects such as the Martian ecological reconstruction project should be implemented sequentially, and it is conceivable that we want to successfully complete all the renovation projects of the Martian world and transform this Martian world into a suitable place for human beings on the earth. Let the life of the earth live on the surface of Mars without shelter, and can breathe the air of the Martian world freely without feeling uncomfortable, I am afraid that no matter how you calculate, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years.

In these hundreds or thousands of years, it is impossible for earthlings to just watch from the earth and watch Mars slowly transform, but not be able to gain a foothold in this world, which is unrealistic in itself.

Isn't the reason for harmless transformation of Mars to make use of the existing conditions on Mars to open up the living space on Mars while carrying out the transformation project on Mars?

It is of course difficult to open up living space on Mars, and the living space that can be opened up is extremely limited compared to the earth, and even after integrating comprehensive data such as planet size and land area, it may be less than four or five times that of the earth, and the cost is expensive.

However, for the development space of a civilization, the general cost is certainly a place that cannot be ignored, but in order to expand the upper limit of this space, it is often not costly.

Although the earth is naturally suitable for human survival, coupled with the continuous application of various emerging technologies, the continuous development of various underground spaces, and the continuous import of materials from various alien planets, the upper limit of human survival that the earth can carry in the future continues to increase, and it is even expected to exceed 20 billion, 50 billion, and even 100 billion people in the future.

With the development and utilization of cheap energy, energy is no longer a condition that limits the number of human beings on the earth, and with the subsequent restrictions on food, fresh water and other aspects have been greatly compressed, and it has no longer become a hard condition to limit the growth of the earth's population.

However, after all, the earth has its carrying limit, and the number of people that the earth can carry cannot grow indefinitely, not to mention that with the development of science and technology, the living conditions and quality of life that everyone needs and requires are constantly rising.

Therefore, the earth civilization must ask for a new living space from the outside world, whether it is the living space on Mars, or other planets, or the planets of other civilizations.

Once the future earth civilization has changed from quantitative to qualitative change, and all the conditions are complete, with the production capacity of large-scale production of faster-than-light warships, the earth civilization can use hidden channels to advance to the meteorite star sea and expand its civilization space to the greatest extent.

At that time, the living space of the earth's civilization will be greatly alleviated, and a similar situation of hundreds of billions of people living on one planet will inevitably become a thing of the past, with a large number of people. You can immigrate to other worlds in large numbers, and when the time comes, billions of people will live on each planet, and each person will enjoy rich resources, and the vast space will become possible, and even the overlord civilization of the Meteorite Star Sea will be turned to the ground, and it is not impossible to become the only overlord of the civilization circle in the Meteorite Star Sea region.

But. Until then, before Earth's civilization can accumulate enough energy to reach the conditions for large-scale expansion, it is clear that the necessary patience must be maintained.

According to the forward-looking system budget and analysis of the Earthling Organization, if the Earth civilization wants to initially meet the minimum standard for producing faster-than-light interstellar warships, it needs to have at least 150 billion people.

The total population of 150 billion, of which 10 billion is the core industrial population, needs to be invested in the support of the core industrial chain. Even one person can't be missing.

This total population of 10 billion will complete all the technological and technical requirements of the production chain of faster-than-light warships, and is the most direct industrial population for the production of faster-than-light warships.

In addition to these 10 billion, there will be 5 billion core industrial population, which will be used to produce various industrial and agricultural products of production and life in the entire earth's civilization system.

The remaining nine times the core industrial population of 15 billion are the other supporting personnel who maintain the functioning of the whole society.

After all, the whole society is functioning, although the core industrial population is the driving force for the development of civilization. However, other supporting populations are also indispensable. Although in essence, these ninety percent of the population depends on the core productive forces, sales personnel cannot be without, right? Literary and artistic personnel cannot be without, right? The military cannot be without, and administrative personnel cannot be without, right? If we want to maintain normal social operation, even if it is reduced to the lowest degree, it is nine times the number of core industrial personnel. It's also a must-have.

Only when all aspects of the supporting population are complete, can the operation of the whole society be good and orderly.

According to calculations, if you want to initially have the production capacity of faster-than-light spaceships, this 150 billion population is the most basic configuration.

And it wants to initially have the ability to mass-produce faster-than-light interstellar warships. At the very least, the earth's civilization must have a total population of 300 billion.

And once you want to have the ability to mass-produce faster-than-light spaceships, the total population of the earth's civilization does not need to reach more than one trillion people.

Only after having a trillion civilized population and hundreds of ecological civilization planets, will the earth civilization really have the ability to fully invade the meteorite star sea and compete with the hegemon-level civilization in the meteorite star sea.

Of course, this is actually just a long-term plan, for the current earth civilization, the current dilemma is that if the earth civilization wants to have a strong civilization breakthrough ability and a strong civilization explosiveness, it requires that the entire earth civilization must have a total population of about 150 billion.

On top of this basic population scale, the earth civilization has the initial production capacity of faster-than-light spaceships, and has the ability to conduct large-scale long-distance migration, which can directly immigrate to alien ecological planets and find those planets that are most suitable for the survival of the earth's population for direct immigration.

At that time, except for the earth civilization in the native star system of the solar system, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive development and planetary transformation, and if it is not necessary in other places, there will be no need to carry out hard planetary transformation at all, and it will be enough to collect ready-made ecological stars everywhere in a short time.

After all, the work of planetary transformation is a time-consuming project, which can easily take hundreds or thousands of years, and it is really too grinding in the early stage of civilization development.

However, the future prospects are certainly bright, but the premise is that the earth's civilization must first survive a period of hard life and accumulate a total population of 150 billion.

According to the prediction, in the next few hundred years, the earth can expand, the maximum population carrying ceiling, is only 100 billion, and to achieve this population carrying scale, it can be said that in the earth's environment, every piece of land environment suitable for mining underground living space will be excavated under the large area, continuous underground urban environment ecosystem, and even the population living in the underground environment is several times more than the surface population.

At that time, the number of people that the earth can carry will almost reach a certain limit, and it will undoubtedly be unrealistic to expand the living space on a large scale.

At that time, it is estimated that the upper limit of the population space that Mars can open up will only be about 20 billion at most.

This figure is already the result of calculating a certain amount of surface transformation of the environment and large-scale construction of living space on the surface.

And even if the habitable population of Mars is added, the earth's civilization is still a full 30 billion people from the 150 billion population breakthrough line, and it is still necessary to find and open up new living space.

Therefore, to develop a large number of human settlements on Mars and other planets as quickly as possible, which will be the focus of the future development of civilization on Earth.

If it weren't for this purpose, why would Mars bother to transform it harmlessly? Is it to show off its technology?

Not to mention the billions of immigrants on the earth, just the construction workers at all stages of the harmless transformation project of Mars must have a suitable place to live, right?

Just like the first stage, the Mars geomagnetic transformation project, it is not possible to build overnight, it will be a huge project that will take decades, or even hundreds of years to complete, during which the construction population that needs to be mobilized, I am afraid that no matter what, it will also need to have millions of various construction personnel and support personnel, right?

With such a large population, there must be a suitable place to live on Mars, right? It is impossible for them to come to Mars when they are at work and rush to the space station as soon as they get off work, right?

Not to mention how troublesome and wasteful this must be, just think about it, how painful this thing must be?

Therefore, the earthling organization does not have such unrealistic plans to start the Mars transformation project from the beginning, and it is necessary to build a suitable working and living environment for the staff on Mars.

After all, the accumulation of all aspects of the earth is still relatively limited, although the Martian environment does not say anything else, only the size of gravity, it is quite unfriendly to the earthlings, but, after a certain amount of underground infrastructure construction and the formation of a certain scale of underground ecological environment, people can still adapt to life in a short period of time, there is no big problem, at most work for a few years, and then carry out a rotation and return to the earth to recover.
