Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan is thinking about a question, if anti-gravity technology really appears, can human civilization get rid of the prediction of new civilization historiography? In previous calculations, it seems that this has not been taken into account.

John was still there climaxing to himself: "I was thinking, is the black hole a Bohr-Einstein condensate at the critical point of quantum phase transition? Only in this way will there be some strange properties... just like what Bohr said In that way, when the matter falls into the black hole, it can only approach the singularity infinitely, but cannot really reach the singularity."

"There is a slight possibility..."

The two discussed with great interest for a long time before the whole room slowly quieted down.

John is a stubborn guy, insisting on maintaining a pessimistic attitude, thinking that it is impossible for human beings to achieve real anti-gravity technology, and all technological development is just a flash in the pan.

"Whatever you want..." Zhang Yuan said angrily.

There is no end to this kind of debate, and there is no solution to the dispute of words. Anyway, it’s okay to have different opinions, and future humans will give answers.

After reading these technological news, Zhang Yuan randomly selected a few reports and read them in detail.

The Deep Space Foundation publishes a special report every year to conduct an in-depth investigation of the scientific and technological progress of the entire civilization, humanistic changes, etc., to provide more accurate historical samples for the scientists of the Earth Age.

Reading that report was indeed a lot quicker than scrambling for news.

Upon hearing that the Deep Space Foundation still existed, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He still has a lot of affection for this continuation of the organization.

In 183 years, human beings have traveled all over the solar system. With the innovation of technology and the continuous improvement of productivity, the cost of the aerospace industry has been greatly reduced.

Space exploration has become a hugely popular activity, with explorers turning their sights from places like Mount Everest to the South Pole to the far reaches of the universe.

Traces of human exploration activities can be found on distant Pluto and Sedna.

Yes, private spaceships are finally a real reality!

"Ah, rich people can already buy spaceships, and Ye Kaifu's dream has come true... Then what... Giant Rock Turtle?"

Of course, to buy a spaceship, you need money.

Zhang Yuan keenly felt this change in the environment. In their time, in the 23rd century, it was quite difficult for ordinary people to go to space, and it cost a lot of money. And in this day and age, space tourism has become a commonplace thing. It can be seen that the productivity of the whole world has undergone another qualitative change.

Moreover, because of the development of technology and the pursuit of wealth, the overall human fear of the universe has also decreased a lot.

The Great Interstellar Age has truly begun, just like the Great Age of Discovery from the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century. The wealth hidden in the universe quickly sparked a frenzied gold rush, which quickly reversed the overall ideology of mankind.

People's fear of the universe is greatly dissipating.

For capital, wealth is more important than life.

The solar system is so vast, the continuation of the Great Interstellar Age is also much longer than the Great Discovery Age.

Zhang Yuan opened a report from thirty years ago.

"Hello, fellow Earth Times! I am Zhang Jianjun, president of the Deep Space Foundation this year. In this report, I will describe in detail a series of changes that have taken place in Earth's civilization in recent years."

"I am honored to tell you that we have successfully built the first phase of the ecological circle of civilization around the solar system!"

"The wood system and Saturn have become our nuclear fuel depots, while Mercury, Venus and the moon have become excellent industrial bases..."

Even if it's just a text report, you can still feel the president's strong sense of pride.

"The severe atmospheric greenhouse effect on Venus and the acid rain environment on Titan have caused major technical problems. It took us a whole hundred years to improve the ecological environment of these planets..."

"I hope these experiences can provide a good demonstration effect for your interstellar colonization..."

Attached below is a bunch of paper reports on planetary terraforming engineering, including how to improve the atmosphere, how to improve the geological environment, and so on. These are field engineering experiences, which are indeed very, very precious.

One of the documentaries, about the Mercury development site.

Mercury is a huge and natural mine, composed of 70% metal and 30% silicate. Because it is close enough to the sun, its surface temperature can reach 430 degrees, which also means endless energy, even nuclear power plants are not needed, only some solar panels and thermal differential energy devices are needed to generate enough electricity.

Humans live on the back side of Mercury, where the sun's rays cannot shine directly.

In this documentary, a huge space port stands on the back of Mercury, and various robots and spacecraft shuttle back and forth, a scene in full swing.

Zhang Yuan was happy again, but also felt lost.

This era is more prosperous and powerful than theirs.

It's a mixed feeling.

I saw that the report continued: "The earth is undoubtedly the core of the entire solar system ecosystem, and it is also the center of talents, trade, and finance. Thanks to the development of the solar system ecosystem, the prosperity of the entire civilization has increased. It went up a lot."

"...Unfortunately, our current high-quality industrial population is really too small. The low birth rate has seriously affected the continued development of the entire civilization. The second and third phases of the project, construction The speed is really worrying."

"It is simply estimated that we may need a total of 60 billion people to fully meet the transformation needs of these planets. However, the current total population has only reached 16 billion, and it is in a state of long-term stagnation. The problem of population aging is increasing. serious……"

"There are many reasons why the population stopped growing. The main reasons are the increase in life expectancy, economic issues, and current ideological issues. The better the population, the greater the cost of cultivation, and the greater the burden on the family."

"I have to admit that many countries, such as our Xia country, have entered an aging state. This is what we are most worried about..."

A series of population reports are also attached below, including the average life expectancy of each country, the marriage rate and divorce rate of each country, population distribution, Engel's coefficient, Gini index and so on.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan pondered over the data for a while.

After several generations of accumulation, the Gini index, that is, the gap between rich and poor, is slowly increasing.

However, for the Xia people, this is not the point. As long as they can go to space, endure hardships, and still easily obtain a considerable amount of wealth, that is enough.

But many facts, as the foundation director said, the stagnant growth of population is natural and irreversible.
