The shortage of people and resources must be solved mainly by time.

The improvement and upgrading of the industrial system must also rely on the continuous growth of the population ceiling.

Only with sufficient manpower can we have sufficient manpower and material resources to continuously expand and improve new scientific and technological fields.

It's just that at this time, the earth has reached a critical point in cost for the carrying capacity of human beings.

A large number of surface space that is easy to develop and expand have been developed by human beings, and if you want to have more population bearing space and accommodate more human reproduction, you must spend a greater price to expand and build underground and high-rise space, so that the per capita cost of survival has increased too much, which is greatly detrimental to the growth of the earth's population.

In addition to the native planet of the earth, more importantly, the earth at this time does not have a suitable life planet suitable for interstellar migration, so a series of preparatory work, starting from now, will refine this huge amount of system engineering into relatively small branch projects, step by step improvement, step by step, step by step, before the earth's population begins to explode and reach the upper limit of the earth's carrying capacity, complete the corresponding migration preparations.

Although this matter is not an urgent matter that burns eyebrows, but with the fertility policy of the earthlings organization at this time to vigorously encourage population reproduction, the doubling of the population is only two generations and forty years at most, even if the global population doubles, according to the expected plan, it may take less than sixty years, about 2100. The global population is even expected to reach around 20 billion. When the time comes. It can be said that the carrying capacity of the entire earth will reach a limit, and land resources, freshwater resources, mineral resources, and all types of resources related to human survival will reach a relative limit state, so as to affect the further development of human society, even if it is supplemented by extraterrestrial resources. It also doesn't help.

With the resources of one planet on Earth, it is quite difficult to carry more people, and even the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, as the leader of the entire earth's civilization, the earthlings organization must make a plan in advance, think of countermeasures in advance, and prepare enough space for the expansion of the earth's human civilization in advance.

Otherwise, once the population expands to the limit and human fertility habits form inertia, the population will double in a few decades. When the matter is imminent, we will try to find a way, and then it will be a demographic problem alone. It will cause big trouble, not to mention the completion of any leapfrog growth of the earth's civilization, and even maintaining the stability of the regime, I am afraid it will be a huge challenge, if it is not good, it will be bad if it breaks out a population war, which is not an unthinkable thing, because the wars and changes of dynasties caused by the population of the dynasty reaching the upper limit of the carrying capacity have long been unknown how many times in history.

As for the policy of population planning, limiting births, and controlling the population, the earthlings organization also does not take it, for the civilization of the interstellar age, the population is not the most important, but it is absolutely indispensable.

Without a sufficient population, it is difficult to occupy a sufficient number of planets and form a complex enough industrial division of labor, so it is difficult to gather a strong civilization force, and the ability to resist foreign contributions will be greatly weakened.

It is precisely because of this concern about the upper limit of the population that the earthlings organization can be said to have begun a few years ago, when the current global order has not yet been unified, has begun a drastic social transformation, carried out a series of long-term layouts, and set its sights on the distant deep space, and actively expand the space for the development of human civilization.

Considering the natural ecological transformation in space, the construction of a new human living environment, the cost is huge, but far more than the development of underground space on the earth, coupled with the environmental transformation of the earth itself, the amount of space excavation is not a small amount that can be ignored, in a short period of time, the earthling organization must make a series of preparations in advance for the future, a considerable part of the project is difficult to consider the economy, so the maximum increase in the production capacity of human society is a thing that must be solved。

In the past, human society only needed to produce various materials and consumption to meet the needs of the current human society, but now, human society not only needs to produce various materials and commodities that meet the needs of the current human society, but also needs to complete a series of social functional layouts involving long-term development layout.

Countless large-scale underground deep spaces, excavation and the use of a variety of high-strength industrial raw materials, reinforcement and improvement, excavation of the underground transportation network extending in all directions, countless surface will not be used for a while and a half, but must also be laid out in advance of large-scale high-rise buildings, these are the need to improve and layout step by step.

Although it may not be needed for a while, the construction and completion of these large-scale projects are indispensable, they can not only form the living space of human society after the population explosion in the future, but also form a strong logistics reserve to support the development and completion of a larger, less cost-effective outer space living space expansion project in the future.

Without such profound material accumulation and all-round reserves, it is undoubtedly completely unrealistic to want to carry out large-scale interstellar space transformation and create a suitable space for survival and development for the future of human society.

However, it is obviously impossible for such a large number of large-scale mega projects to be realized by relying solely on the power of human power, and a more advanced productivity supply system must be formed.

The earthling organization has begun to carry out large-scale industrial production of the robot industry, trying to take the productivity of robots as the core, and adjust the productivity of human society on a large scale.

There are a wide variety of functional robots, including industrial robots and engineering robots. There are also service robots. These are solid and hard-working workers. It is only necessary to provide them with a steady stream of power energy, and then set up the work procedures and arrange the work content, and the cost of simple manual labor is obviously much lower than the labor cost of human beings, and the labor efficiency is much higher.

In the past few years of social development, there has been a steady stream of various robots that have been coming out of the production line to various levels of social production. Of course, the first to enter a variety of high-intensity, high-risk, high-precision requirements of the three high-level industries and positions, a variety of high-end industrial fields, as well as large-scale engineering fields, have begun to gradually spread a variety of industrial robots, not only gradually reduce the production cost of these core production areas, but also greatly improve their production efficiency.

With these functions, robots are gradually filled into various social production links, which undoubtedly greatly improves the production capacity of the entire social level, and more workers and laborers gradually withdraw from the front line of production. Rather, it's about focusing more on problem-solving, program development, and so on, and in the whole process. With the great improvement of social productivity, all kinds of materials in the society are in constant supply, and the price is low, which increases the welfare of the whole society in disguise, so the whole social level is basically stable, and there is no big fluctuation.

In this whole process, although a considerable part of the benefits brought about by the improvement of social productivity have been distributed to workers of all levels, the vast majority of them have been intercepted by the earthlings in the process of production and distribution.

These additional materials not only supported the action of the earthlings organization in the process of unifying the world, but also greatly accelerated the progress of global unification, and a considerable part of them were invested in many advanced production and construction links.

A large number of underground spaces have been opened up, and most of the excavated soil, minerals and other resources have been reasonably allocated and utilized. Metal resources have been screened and smelted on a large scale, added to the social production process, forming an underground production line with alternative characteristics, and the remaining various ordinary soil components and resources that are not scarce have also been fully allocated and utilized to make modern industrial products, cement, glass, ceramics, Ceramic tiles, etc., are directly used in the construction of various underground projects, even the most common soil components, are classified and screened, made into soil substrates, and used in the large-scale production of various industrial farms.

As for other large-scale projects above the surface, they are also being started at the same time, consuming a lot of resources.

And in the field of space exploration, more resources are smashed in.

At the beginning, while the construction of the planetary defense system continued to be started, a considerable part of the resources were already invested in the development of the lunar base and the transformation of the Martian world.

Now, with the continuous improvement of the planetary defense system, the continuous completion of the project, and the great improvement of the security environment of the entire earth civilization, the supply of resources thrown into the lunar base and the Mars transformation project is even larger.

It should be said that the earthling organizations have invested a considerable amount of money in the internal projects of these two solar systems.

The Moon and Mars, one is the satellite of the Earth, and the other is the closest and most suitable planet for transformation in the solar system environment, both of which are the most powerful stepping stones for the earth's civilization to move towards the interstellar era, and have their own potential strategic value that cannot be ignored.

The moon, this satellite not only has abundant industrial raw material resources, which is easy to mine and build, but also has a special point of attention, that is, its own light weight environmental potential use value.

Motivated by the maximization of its potential value, the Earthlings organized a large number of industrial production plans on this satellite.

In the early stage of planning, this satellite, as the largest intermediary production base of Earth civilization, will be used to produce various industrial products in the space sector in the future, and will be used to support the large-scale transformation of the Martian world.

In addition, on the back of this satellite, the Earthlings will also establish a large military base to ensure the safety and order of the lunar base, and also serve as a mobile combat supplement to the Earth's planetary defense system.

Although the content of these two future plans is quite full, this is still not the final version of the future lunar base.

In the distant future, once the time is ripe, the Earthling Organization will establish a series of supporting production projects and core production bases for space warships on the moon and its orbit, starting with the production of sub-light speed interstellar spacecraft, and when it is ready, it will also carry out comprehensive system upgrades, large-scale renovation and transformation of the base, and the production and construction of faster-than-light interstellar spacecraft.

Because of the importance and sensitivity of the faster-than-light spacecraft itself, it cannot be built in other places far from the core of the earth's civilization, and at the same time, it is not suitable for production on the earth's own soil.

According to the future planning of the spacecraft production base, the future faster-than-light spacecraft production base, the scale of its core base will exceed the scale of a radius of 1,000 kilometers, and the direct area will reach several million square kilometers at most, and after adding various supporting factories, it will be more than ten times the core baseEvery three years, a faster-than-light spacecraft will be assembled and rolled off the assembly line, and after five years of comprehensive commissioning, quality inspection, test flight, and adjustment and running-in, it will officially enter service and become the core combat force of civilization.

Don't look at this production efficiency seems to be quite worrying, in fact, for the production of faster-than-light spaceships, it is already a very rare high-yield and efficient operation to be able to achieve this efficiency.

Moreover, although the lunar base will be the core spacecraft production base at that time, if the situation is suitable, it is also possible to carry out the production layout of non-core production links on Mars or other planets where the safety and production conditions are guaranteed, which will greatly accelerate the construction speed of the spacecraft.
