After the initial preparations, the massive construction work began immediately with almost no delay.
A total of 200 million hibernating people were awakened one after another. Numerous aerospace dual-purpose spacecraft frequently shuttled between the planet's surface and passenger and cargo spacecraft, quickly transporting manpower and a large number of machinery to the planet's surface. Factories, mines, and railgun launch centers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, rapidly growing on each satellite.
If the entire population is awakened, it cannot be carried by 41 Yuanhang passenger and cargo spacecraft alone. But now, the large population has been dispersed to various construction sites and a huge construction task has begun. Instead, the Yuanhang spacecraft is empty.
These spaces will not be wasted, but after slight transformation, they will quickly become one reproductive center after another.
Zhao Changxing and the leaders of civilization know very clearly that population is the basis of everything. Without a sufficient population, even if a complete third-level civilization technology system is in front of us, human civilization cannot become a true third-level civilization.
Because there are simply not enough scientific researchers to learn, pass on, and study this knowledge.
Rapidly increasing the population is a hard requirement.
As a result, a large number of embryos were transplanted into the artificial womb and began to develop. At this moment, the number of embryos being cultivated at the same time has even reached about 20 million, accounting for a full tenth of the original total population.
In this brand new galaxy, the human government has completely relaxed population restrictions and is going all out to increase the population.
Judging from the number of spaceships and residential bases owned by human civilization at this time, when these embryos become babies and then adults, the living space will obviously not be enough. But it doesn't matter. There is a buffer period of about 19 years between embryos and adults. 19 years is enough time for people to build enough residential bases.
The population size of human civilization has grown rapidly at this explosive rate.
However, this also caused some side effects.
As we all know, the sperm and eggs required for cultivating embryos cannot be taken just casually. Especially for men, even if the efficiency is improved as much as possible, a sperm retrieval cycle will last about a week. During this week, a man who participates in donating sperm will have to ejaculate at least five times to get enough for one portion.
For human males in the current era who have undergone many genetic modifications, this is originally nothing. But the key problem is that we are now in the development period of a new star system, and the construction tasks are very heavy.
As a result, the men of human civilization had to live a painful life of working hard during the day and cooperating with the population security department during their breaks.
Based on this, Zhao Changxing had to specifically adjust the civilization's food strategy, allowing the animal husbandry and breeding department to raise as many pigs, cattle, sheep, fish and other meat livestock as possible, and to provide as much meat, eggs, and milk as possible for the men of human civilization. The men managed to hold on.
Another side effect is that for any large-scale civilization, no matter how strong the civilization's control is, it is impossible to completely avoid certain dark sides of society - such as the pornography industry, prostitution and whoring and other underground industries. Because of this policy, Encountered an unparalleled disaster and was almost completely destroyed. But for civilization as a whole, this side effect is actually a good thing.
So more than ten years have passed, and the nearly one hundred super-giant roller-shaped space residential bases that were rushed to be built in the early stage were finally completed with the abundant resources produced by the H1 galaxy and the efforts of countless people.
This super giant roller base is larger than any residential base built by humans at any time. Each roller base has a length of up to 30 kilometers, a diameter of about 3 kilometers, and a total internal area of nearly 300 square kilometers.
Such a double-layer drum base - the outer layer is used for housing and living, and the inner layer is used for the construction of various basic industrial facilities, various factories, scientific research institutes, etc., can carry nearly one million people without any conspicuous appearance. It is so crowded that there is even room for the construction of some parks, rivers, artificial lakes, rockeries and other places.
Nearly a hundred residential bases can accommodate nearly 100 million people.
Huge industrial capacity has greatly increased the population limit of human civilization. But unfortunately, the upper limit raised by this increase can be completely swallowed up in just about five years based on the current population growth rate.
Because now, after entering the H1 galaxy, the first batch of about 20 million embryos cultivated have successfully matured and become adults. From now on, the same number of humans will reach adulthood on average every year.
Gu Hui
They need a house, a job, a marriage, a family, entertainment, shopping...
If civilization cannot meet these needs and provide enough space, then population growth will no longer be a good thing for civilization, but a disaster that may destroy the entire civilization.
When the time comes, uncontrolled young people will lose order, attack any place they can reach, and consume the wealth of civilization like locusts. What will follow is a world of chicken feathers. Human civilization will be removed from this universe and will be replaced by pirates all over the galaxy.
This matter must be treated with caution. Therefore, the construction of the super-giant double-story drum-type residential base not only cannot be stopped, but needs to be accelerated again. At least it must be able to build at least 20 units per year on average - if there is room for spare, it is best to reach a rate of 25 units.
Fortunately, with the completion of the first batch of residential bases, the entire assembly line, whether it is related supporting factories, with a total number of tens of thousands, or numerous assembly, logistics, final assembly, energy, manpower, etc., all aspects have been improved. A system has been formed, and from now on, it should not be a problem to cover these soaring demands.
At this moment, with the joint efforts of hundreds of millions of people, the development of a total of 35 larger satellites that have reached hydrostatic equilibrium in the H1-4 planetary system has been basically completed. Human civilization has built mature space navigation routes that extend in all directions to communicate between any two satellites. Both people and resources can flow between different planets more conveniently. This is equivalent to laying the foundation for future in-depth development.
Under the phased implementation of the overall planning in the early stage, the adult period of the newly cultivated population basically coincides with the period when the basic development work is completed. In this way, demand and supply have reached a balance. The progress of civilization will not be delayed because the demand is too high and the supply is insufficient, nor will the progress of civilization be delayed because the demand is too low and the supply is too high, causing chaos in civilization.
When the total population of civilization surges to the order of 800 million, including those who have lost the ability to work and have contributed their entire lives to the development of civilization, the number of elderly people who need support from civilization now accounts for approximately 60 million, and the number of minors at various stages accounts for approximately 370 million , a total of 430 million. At that time, Zhao Changxing and the civilization leaders began to plan to extend outwards and bring the other planets in the H1 galaxy into the scope of the development of human civilization.
This process took a total of more than a hundred years.
At this time, the total population of human civilization has increased to 2.3 billion, and its footprints are spread across every larger star in the H1 galaxy. At the same time, five larger urban agglomerations were built with the five major planets as the core. Each urban agglomeration has a population of as little as 100 million to as much as one billion.
The communication satellite network throughout the galaxy is composed of millions of satellites of various types, and the logistics and passenger transportation system throughout the galaxy is composed of hundreds of thousands of civilian, freight, police, passenger and other spacecraft. Finish. At the same time, the layout of industrial clusters built according to the characteristics of different planets has also been completed.
There are information centers, business centers, entertainment centers, military centers, heavy industry clusters, steel industry clusters, chip industry clusters, etc., each located next to different planets.
Zhao Changxing knows that only now has human civilization truly completed the initial framework of its long-term development plan.
Yes, just the skeleton. To fill up this skeleton, we don’t know how much manpower, material resources and time will be needed.
At this moment, the total population of 2.3 billion is still relatively low. To attack the third-level civilization with this quantity, it is still wishful thinking to fully master the technological system of the third-level civilization, and there is simply no hope at all.
Even though the population growth rate has been increased as much as possible in the early stage, at this stage, what Zhao Changxing needs to do is to speed up the process again.
Only with a large enough population can the now completed skeleton be truly filled.
In this way, another hundred years have passed by in a hurry.
At this moment, the total population of human civilization has reached 6 billion. The development tentacles of human civilization have even spread beyond the galaxy, reaching a few remote dwarf planets that are extremely far away from the stars. Internally, it spread to the interior of the only two gas giant planets in the H1 galaxy.
People have developed spacecraft that can withstand the harsh environment inside the gas giant planet, and they have entered the planet's interior on a large scale, frantically exploiting the resources contained inside it, and supplying the needs of civilization like a bottomless pit.
At this time, Zhao Changxing felt that the time was finally ripe to launch the first impact on a true third-level civilization.
Zhao Changxing decided to build an antimatter production factory with an annual output of 1,000 tons by relying entirely on the knowledge that humans have mastered, designing, researching, building, and integrating the industrial chain and supply system from the beginning to the end.
Yes, the design goal is only to produce thousands of tons per year, but even so, there are still countless people in civilization who think this plan is too radical.
