Chapter 364: Passenger Spaceship

And with the second batch of faster-than-light spaceships gradually coming off the assembly line and opening up new colonized planets in the direction of other planets, for a long time after that, the earth's civilization has entered a very rapid and high growth stage.

The new planet has fed back a large number of valuable biological resources, some scarce mineral resources, etc., and on the new planet, the earth civilization has also gathered a large number of people, although these populations are far away from the earth civilization in space, there is no way to join the chain of physical production industry, but they can also join the entire industrial division of labor system of the earth civilization, and contribute their own strength to the development of civilization.

Compile intelligent software programs, carry out literary and artistic creation, or carry out engineering design, etc., these members of the earth civilization on the outer immigrant planets, even on the distant alien planets, can also contribute their own creative value, and contribute their own strength and value to the development and progress of the earth civilization.

As the earth gradually occupies more and more immigrant planets in the surrounding galaxies, although the number of immigrants on these immigrant planets is not large at the beginning, most of them only have an initial number of tens of millions of people, but with the growth of time, there is gradually a large number of rapid population growth, and the total sum of them still brings a lot of human resources to the earth civilization and has become a force to be reckoned with.

After all, on these immigrant planets, the living space is extremely broad, relying on the environmental transformation technology of the earth's civilization, even if it uses a small number of planetary resources, it is enough to provide immigrants with a very broad space for development, and the vast space, rich resources, and small survival pressure, it is easy to form the potential for population reproduction when turning around.

After all, there are too many people living on the earth, and the pressure of population growth has become extremely huge, because the environment has greatly compressed the survival and growth space of newborns.

But such a problem does not exist at all on the immigrant planet, relying on the policy of encouraging fertility that the earth civilization has maintained for hundreds of years, the new immigrants on the immigrant planet naturally burst out with great enthusiasm for fertility, compared to the fertility rate of the earth itself, which has not even been maintained by five thousandths, but if it has increased by several times.

On many immigrant stars, it is very common for a young couple to have five or six children, not only can they afford to give birth, but they are also very easy to raise, which is unimaginable for couples on the earth, and I don't know how many people have envied it.

With the passage of time, those new planet immigrants who have grown up from generation to generation, as the extraterrestrial human resources branch of the earth civilization, have provided a large number of intellectual resources for the earth civilization and effectively improved the production capacity of the entire earth civilization.

In view of this, the earth government has even issued a special support policy to encourage the surrounding immigrant planets to form an intelligence export industry, with the earth production base as the core, forming a large industrial division of earth civilization across time and space, which has greatly accelerated the pattern and ability of the entire earth civilization industrial ship.

It can be said that since then, more and more surrounding immigrant planets have completely become the core economic growth point of the entire earth civilization, and these new immigrant planets that have been opened up one by one, although at the level of space connections, it is still very problematic to maintain convenient transportation links with the earth's mainland, but from the perspective of civilization as a whole, it has become the fastest growing link of the earth's civilization, which has greatly strengthened the overall strength of the earth's civilization.

With the completion of the integration of various industrial links of the entire earth civilization, the production efficiency is becoming more and more high and mature, and the ability of the earth civilization to produce faster-than-light spaceships has also risen.

With the continuous industrial upgrading, the performance of the newly produced faster-than-light spacecraft in all aspects is also stronger than a batch, the spacecraft is flying faster and faster, the cruising time is longer and longer, and the ability to carry passengers and cargo has also made rapid progress.

In such a continuous positive feedback loop, in less than a hundred years, the earth civilization has achieved the most basic civilization strategy, with more than 100 interstellar migration spacecraft, these ships shuttle back and forth in the surrounding star fields, the total population of the earth that can be exported every year has greatly exceeded the number of 600 million people, it can be said that since 2350, although the population growth rate of the earth itself is still slightly below the level of 5 per thousand, the average annual population growth is about 780 million people, but because of the large number of people exported to the periphery, the total population of the mother planet of the earth is accommodated, but it has gradually begun to show a downward downward downward trend.

At this stage around 2350 years, the total population of earthlings contained in the solar system has reached a breakthrough population capacity of about 180 billion. Jupiter's moon bases, etc., have made great progress in their population carrying capacity, and the total number of population carrying ceilings has reached the level of more than 60 billion, but on the whole, the population carrying capacity in the solar system has still reached a relatively dangerous stage.

At that time, the mother planet of the earth on a planet, it contained a full 120 billion people, it can be said that the entire earth, relatively easy to open up the stable underground space, has been exhausted, and then want to accommodate more people, for the security of the earth itself, will often cause a very bad impact, if the situation is serious, it will even threaten the overall security environment of the entire planet.

Fortunately, at this time, the interstellar migration fleet of the earth civilization has finally been completely formed, and the number of ships in the fleet of up to one hundred ships can easily immigrate billions of people if it is open to immigrants in a relatively relaxed way of passenger transportation, and the use of dense marshalling can greatly increase the number of passengers transported by spaceships.

Although the interstellar migration project, in general, still has a long cycle, and the entire migration fleet cannot reach the order of billions of immigrants per year, on average, it can still reach more than seven or eight billion immigrants per year, and the number of immigrants is already beyond the annual per capita growth of the earth itself.

Therefore, since the beginning of 2350, the long-awaited plan of reducing the number of people near the mainland of the earth civilization has finally begun to have more significant results.

A large number of passenger spaceships traveled between the many well-developed immigrant spaceships in the surrounding area, which not only effectively began to reduce the number of people on Earth, but also greatly enhanced the overall strength of the surrounding immigrant planets.

From this moment on, the earth civilization has finally survived a demographic crisis and has begun to move towards a brighter interstellar civilization.

However, although the total number of people on the earth has gradually begun to show a downward trend since 2350, this trend is still quite limited in general, as the core headquarters of the earth's civilization, the area where the earth mother star is located, still has an unparalleled attraction to many high-end elites.

As the earth's native population began to export to the outside on a large scale, a considerable number of high-end and high-quality talents from the immigrant planet gradually began to gather in the local core area, and the convergence of these high-end talents further strengthened the production capacity of the core of the earth's civilization, so that the earth's civilization has further improved the production and manufacturing capacity of various types of faster-than-light spacecraft.

In view of the urgency of the task of population migration in the core area of the earth headquarters has been initially solved by more than 100 faster-than-light migration spaceships, although the construction of large-scale migration spaceships has become indispensable for a long time in the future, the earth civilization has finally freed up a part of its production capacity to carry out small batches of other types of interstellar spacecraft production and construction tasks.

So starting in 2351, among the new batch of twenty spaceship manufacturing tasks, in addition to the 15 immigrant spaceships that still need to be built, the other five spaceships have been replaced with other spacecraft production tasks for the first time.

3 faster-than-light warships of different classes, 2 faster-than-light civilian ships of different classes!

After more than 100 years of production and construction of faster-than-light spacecraft, the earth's civilization has finally begun the process of expanding the production models of faster-than-light spacecraft for the first time and comprehensively improving the comprehensive strength of the earth's civilization in all aspects.

The reason for this is that the earth's civilization has entered a new period of development, and after completing the task of expanding the size of civilization and increasing the strategic depth of civilization in the early stage of interstellar civilization, it has begun to move towards a new period of development.

In this new period of development, what the earth civilization needs to do is to gradually begin to strengthen the deep-seated connection between the entire civilization system, reintegrate the earth civilization that is scattered in different interstellar spaces and has become a scattered sand in a sense due to space isolation, reintegrate the earth civilization into an organic connection, and re-form a mobile and flexible interstellar civilization entity.

And to do this, it is inseparable from the production and manufacturing of new faster-than-light spaceship models, and the formation of new and more professional interstellar passenger and cargo spacecraft special trains.

For the current earth civilization, a big problem is that except for the interstellar immigration spacecraft that travels once every few years, the various immigrant planets are completely isolated from each other, in a sense, there is not much difference from the previous planetary era, even for some high-level talents who have urgent needs and need to broaden their horizons to the greatest extent, it is almost impossible to carry out an interstellar journey that can be said to go.

And this, for a real sense of star civilization, is undoubtedly a matter that needs to be solved urgently, only in the real sense to solve the demand for talent flow between the planets, to promote the balanced development of the planets, in order to maximize the excavation of more treasure of human resources of the earth civilization.

And the solution of this matter will also be in a great sense, it will strengthen the connection between the political structures of the earth's civilization, which is a more important element of civilization.

Undoubtedly, if you want to solve this problem, you must arrange a system between the many planets of the earth's civilization, and form a systematic convenient star-rated transportation passenger transport network, and this passenger transport network, the most needed thing, is a more professional and intimate interstellar passenger spacecraft, although it has a certain similarity with the faster-than-light interstellar migration spacecraft in terms of performance, but in essence, it is still very different.

Compared with the larger-than-light immigration spacecraft that transports large-scale interstellar migrants in batches, superluminal passenger flying, as a professional interstellar passenger transport vehicle, is a higher-end, specially tailored interstellar communication tool for high-end passengers and cargo, which is responsible for transporting interstellar civilization customers who have urgent needs for interstellar communication, and carrying out shorter interplanetary transportation.

Specifically, in terms of performance, the immigration spacecraft carries tens of millions of passengers each time, and the speed runs in the range of several times the speed of light, while the interstellar passenger spacecraft, which can carry the number of passengers per voyage, will be far less than the number of passengers carried by the immigration spacecraft, and the number of passengers is less than 100,000 people, and in terms of flight speed, it has more stringent requirements, generally speaking, at least at least ten times the speed of light, if the requirements are more stringent, it will even require a single voyage within one year, and only the faster-than-light passenger spacecraft that reaches this level can truly undertake the ability of high-end interstellar passenger transportation and minimize the waste of human resources for high-end talents。

It should be said that this high-end spaceship variety is a high-end type of interstellar spaceship specially developed after the development of interstellar civilization to a certain extent, forced by the rigid demand of interstellar communication, in a sense, the grade of this kind of interstellar spaceship is not even lower than that of faster-than-light interstellar warships, and the high-tech content is quite high-end.

This is a real interstellar civilization with the ability to independently produce, design and manufacture superluminal spaceships, high-end spaceships that can be used, and it is also a high-end gadget that can only be used by real interstellar civilizations. The reason why the earth civilization needs to use this kind of spaceship is also to consolidate the foundation of its civilization to the greatest extent. (To be continued.) )
