Ps; Thank you for your support!

Two years have passed, and now it's 2252.

Through the joint efforts of the 120 billion people of the entire earth civilization, after more than 100 years of large-scale construction, the first verification faster-than-light spacecraft in the history of the earth civilization has finally been completed.

As the first faster-than-light spaceship that was really built and quickly began to be assembled, this supership named the First Emperor is not a real warship, but an interstellar immigration spaceship, the reason why the immigration spaceship was built is that on the one hand, considering that this civilian type of spaceship is relatively much less difficult to manufacture, and the other reason is that the most needed spaceship type for today's earth civilization is this spaceship model that can carry out large-scale population migration.

As an early interstellar civilization that carries up to 100 billion people on the home planet, even if the earth's population growth scale has shrunk significantly due to various factors, the average annual natural population growth rate is still 5/1000 of the scale, which means that the annual new population of the earth has the scale of 600 million people, such a population growth rate, for the current earth civilization, has become more and more a huge pressure, even if the earth civilization has a steady stream of foreign materials from the meteorite star sea, the huge amount of meteorite acquisition can fully meet the huge demand of the earth civilization for resources。

However, the rate of growth of the new living space that can be developed throughout the solar system has become increasingly difficult to handle.

The whole Mars, now the number of people that can be accommodated, has reached more than 10 billion scale, and the possibility of adding a large amount of living space in a short period of time has become smaller and smaller, and limited to the gravity defect problem of Mars itself, every year there must be a large-scale, up to billions of people between the earth and Mars to return, adaptation, although this rigid demand is a last resort, but it is also a large number of squeezing a considerable part of the living space on the earth.

The vast majority of the earth's suitable places for large-scale underground building development, the average development depth has developed to a distance of 200 meters underground, large-scale, to the deeper stratum to the space initiative has been carried out for a long time, in the underground development of a new large-scale underground space, but the thing that has to be considered is that the entire earth, the new large-scale human survival and development space, is indeed close to saturation, deeper underground space is not not can not be mined, the problem is, the more downward, every inch of living space development, will be more expensive, and the harvest will be more and more scarce。

In today's stage of civilization, due to the demand for high-quality talents due to the development of civilization, every qualified earthling needs to go through years of education and training before he can be educated into qualified talents, but the problem is that the higher the level of education, the worse the person's patience, the higher the requirements for all aspects of living space and needs, and the deeper the underground space, the more bored and unbearable.

In addition to Earth and Mars, the difficulty of planetary development on other planets in the solar system is extremely high, and the possibility of reducing the development cost in a short period of time is quite slim.

In general, in a short period of time, if the earth civilization wants to open up more living space within the solar system, the marginal cost that needs to be paid in all aspects will only get higher and higher, and the results will become smaller and smaller, which determines that even if the earth civilization wants to maintain the current natural population growth rate, it will be difficult to maintain it for too long, and it can only last for another one or two hundred years at most.

This time is almost the limit, if the earth civilization can not find a new and large number of living space during this period, then, in less than a hundred years, the earthlings must consider the policy of population growth restrictions.

However, as a civilization with sufficient scale and risk resistance, it does not have enough population, enough living space, and enough strategic buffer zone, it is undoubtedly not at all high-grade, and it cannot be called a qualified interstellar civilization.

Since the earth civilization has realized the production capacity of faster-than-light spaceships, it has ushered in the dawn of the interstellar era, and has the possibility of enhancing its own civilization heritage and enhancing its comprehensive strength in a short period of time.

Because even for interstellar civilization, it is very difficult to maintain a relatively high population growth rate, the more high-quality talents, the more conservative the concept of fertility naturally appears, the reason why the earth civilization can maintain the current level of population growth, it is also after more than two hundred years of careful cultivation, after two hundred years of concept remodeling, the current concept of population fertility has been formed, which not only has the cost of various propaganda, but also a large amount of social security expenditure, if once the route is reversed, the population restriction policy is started, it is really a thousand years of work in a flash, it is easy to restrictIf you want to restore the current rate of population growth, it will be very difficult!

Therefore, no matter how great the pressure is, the overall situation is difficult, and even if the earth civilization tries its best to find a way, it must maintain the current population growth rate of the earth.

Because such a population growth rate is one of the ultimate weapons of future earth civilization, and it is one of the largest expansion costs, there is no doubt that it is impossible to maximize the interests of civilization without enough population. A planet with a population of one billion and eight billion people is undoubtedly unrealistic to really control it.

The current population of the earth's civilization is 120 billion, even if it is calculated at the highest scale of expansion efficiency, it is already the top of the sky to fill a hundred planets and occupy dozens of star systems, which is obviously not enough for the earth's civilization that is determined to compete with superweight civilizations.

Therefore, at the current stage, the policy of large-scale and efficient growth of the earth's population still cannot be changed, and even this policy will not change in the long-term future time scale.

Under such circumstances, in order to alleviate the current population carrying pressure as much as possible, the earth's civilization now naturally needs to expand externally. It is no surprise that a superluminal spaceship that can export millions of people to the outside world in a single voyage and carry tens of millions of people intensively to maximize the expansion of the alien rights and interests of the earth's civilization is the strategic asset that the earth needs most today.

The construction plan of a large immigration spaceship such as the First Emperor spaceship can be said to be a product of this civilization pattern, and the government of the earth's civilization has been anxiously waiting for it to be truly completed and installed for more than a hundred years, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and finally waiting for the day when it will take shape.

It can be said that in this waiting process, the earth civilization has already considered the destination of this spaceship and the mission it carries.

A natural ecological star that is only 20 light-years away from the solar system where the earth is located is the set goal set for him by the earth government.

This planet, as early as the first emperor is still a semi-finished product, the earth civilization has carried out a detailed investigation and analysis of it, when the first emperor began to take shape, the earth civilization launched a large number of intelligent exploration satellites and unmanned spacecraft to it, as early as the first emperor was officially built a year ago, all the details of the star have been collected and gathered.

There are more than 100 planets that belong to the same batch as this planet, and there are more than 100 planets that have been accurately investigated, and finally after a detailed review of all 100 planets, this "lucky" planet was finally listed as the expansion and immigration target of the first faster-than-light spaceship of the Earth civilization, and became the final destination of the first batch of 10 million Earth immigrants in the future.

Limited to the influence of manpower, technology, industry and other constraints, the first emperor spacecraft in all aspects of the indicators are not satisfactory, its faster-than-light cruise speed is only 3 times the speed of light, and a faster-than-light cruise can only fly for a year at most, and then it will have to be repaired, and the overall maintenance will take almost half a year before it can be carried out again.

Affected by the performance of this spacecraft, this single journey of 20 light years will take at least 22 years to make a round trip, which is still a relatively uneconomical number.

In more than 20 years, only 10 million immigrants have been immigrated, which is obviously almost none-effect in the context of alleviating the pressure of the earth's population growth.

After all, there are as many as 600 million new people on the earth a year, and in 20 years, the number of new people has reached 12 billion, and a generation has grown up.

However, although the numbers are extremely inconspicuous, this is a turning point in a new era, and the earth's civilization has ushered in a great era of interstellar expansion, and the turning point of rapid expansion can be said to have come from here.

After all, in the past two hundred years, the earth civilization has established a complete production of faster-than-light spacecraft all supporting industrial chain, the production efficiency of the new faster-than-light spacecraft will only improve at a faster and faster rate, the first faster-than-light spacecraft will take 100 years to build, but with the support of a full set of industrial chain, even if it is estimated with the most conservative efficiency, if the second spacecraft is completed, it will only take about 20 years at most.

In fact, more than half of the production progress of the first spacecraft was completed in the last 20 years.

And compared with the first spaceship, which is extremely anxious, with the technological upgrading and comprehensive update of the new and perfect industrial chain, the performance of the new spacecraft will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

After all, although the earth civilization has also completed the process of forming the related industries of the superluminal spaceship, after all, all the technologies are ready-made, and once the initial industrial supporting system is formed, it is relatively easy to carry out subsequent upgrades.

The final result of this will undoubtedly be reflected in the range efficiency, spacecraft carrying capacity and other aspects of the data, which will be a huge and distinct breakthrough compared to the first spacecraft.

After all, during the construction of the first spaceship for more than 100 years, many technologies were only used on the front foot, and the back foot was already outdated, but in order to complete the first spacecraft as soon as possible, it was not completely updated, and these congenital "diseases" brought by the bones greatly affected the overall performance of the First Emperor spacecraft.

But this kind of thing will undoubtedly be avoided to the greatest extent in the manufacturing process of new spaceships in the future, after all, after the completion of a complete production system, the construction speed of spaceships will be maximized, and the speed of technological progress during this period will of course only get slower and slower.

In the case that a full set of industrial chain layout has been completed, in the process of building a new spaceship, the earth civilization will naturally not manufacture only one spaceship at a time, but will only maximize the batch and streamlined manufacturing of spaceships, and make efforts from all angles and room types to maximize the manufacturing speed of spaceships and the production capacity per unit time.

With the population growth rate of the earth's civilization and the maturity of the industrial chain, the production time of the spaceship is compressed to the extreme level in a short period of time, and the organic and mature industrial assembly line production is not a long-term thing, and it may only take thirty or fifty years at most if it is conservatively estimated.

During this period, the existing spacecraft is enough to complete two or three migration flights, and tens of millions of people have taken root on the immigrant planet for decades, which is enough to carry out large-scale modernization of the new immigrant star that is still in the era of Behemoth, and form a large-scale, productive and mature society, and it is normal to have a large-scale immigration base.

At that time, several spaceships that have been built will work together, and the population of new immigrants will be a large scale every year, and the maintenance of planetary spaceships on the new planet, the production capacity of part of the industrial chain, etc., will undoubtedly greatly accelerate the development speed of the entire earth civilization, which is undoubtedly expected.

With the rapid maturity of the new colonization planet and the rapid prototyping of the spaceship assembly line, it will not take a hundred years for a large number of spaceships to be manufactured, a large amount of production capacity will be released, and the migration speed of human society will form a blowout effect in a short period of time, and large-scale interstellar expansion will really form a possibility.
