After seeing the home robot manufacturing factory, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao also visited other manufacturing factories, but they were not as detailed as before.
As far as the Earth Orbit Industrial Zone is concerned, it covers all current industrial categories. Basically all industrial products can be produced here. In addition to various manufacturing factories, there are also various research centers and laboratories.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao also went around these places. The operations in these research centers and laboratories are basically remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots.
Relatively speaking, scientific research nowadays cannot afford to be much safer than in the past. Even the most dangerous experiments are carried out because they are operated by remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots. Even if there is an accident, the most likely to be harmed is Humanoid bionic robots, as for the people behind them, have no safety issues.
This is why children today can participate in scientific research.
After visiting the Global Industrial Zone, it was time for lunch.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao entered the spacecraft and had lunch. After taking a short rest, they started their afternoon scientific research time.
The two of them didn't finish their research until dinner time.
After dinner, the two of them continued to do what they had to do.
At this time, the spacecraft had left the Earth-orbiting industrial zone and appeared in an area 100,000 kilometers away from the Earth.
There are a large number of new space farms, space ranches, and space fisheries in this area, and their products mainly provide the main source of food for people around the world.
Thinking about it at the beginning, these new types of food can produce a lot more food, not to mention the less than 10 billion people on the earth, and another 10 billion can be fed equally.
When the spaceship approached the space farm, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao just got out of the spacecraft when they saw a flying castle flying over from a distance.
Seeing this distinctive flying castle, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao both recognized it. It was Fan Xiaoming's flying castle.
Sure enough, Fan Xiaoming and his wife flew out of the flying castle.
After saying hello, the four of them flew towards the space farm.
If the usable area of the space farm at the beginning was not large, then the current space farm is the same. Its usable area is very large.
Although they are all ring-shaped, one is single-layered, but the upgraded version of the space farm has a multi-layered design.
A layer of 300 meters, a thickness of 30 kilometers is one hundred layers, the usable area of a single layer is 300,000 square kilometers, and one hundred layers is 30 million square kilometers.
You know, the surface area of the earth is only 510 million square kilometers. If we only count the arable area, it is twice that of the earth. In other words, an upgraded space farm can feed a population of 20 billion.
Of course, compared with the past, these are many, many, but it is possible now, but it will not be long before the 40 billion children planned for the population increase will be born. Besides, the population increase plan is still As it continues, the population is increasing, which is why there are so many space farms.
After entering the space farm, the four of them separated. Ning Qiaoqiao was with Fan Xiaoming's wife, and Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming were together.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming looked at the lush green area in front of them with deep emotion.
The location they are currently on is the third level of the space farm. This level is all planted with rice. The area of 300,000 square kilometers is all planted with rice. Similarly, there are 30 levels with all rice grown. Thirty layers are planted with wheat, thirty layers are planted with corn, and the remaining ten layers are planted with some miscellaneous grains.
It was so green that you couldn't see the edge. Fan Xiaoming said with emotion: "Look, this is the power of science and technology. Let's not talk about synthetic food, just say that we can't eat all the food grown by traditional methods. Let's talk about the food grown now. These take one hundred and fifty days to mature, and the rice is particularly delicious. Some of it is stored, and more is used to make wine."
For now, starvation is out of the question.
Even if there is no such space farm, there is still synthetic food, which is simpler than obtaining food through traditional methods.
Right now, we can’t eat the food we grow.
Once it’s done, there’s no need to store it too much. Some people say it’s used to make wine.
Not to mention, it actually passed. In this way, food will not be wasted. As for wine, it can be stored for a long time.
Su Zhe smiled and said, "Yes, without the development of science and technology, we wouldn't have this day. Speaking of which, it takes a long time to obtain food through traditional methods, and it is not as fast as synthetic food. Of course, this process is so It’s also necessary, after all, it takes time for plants to grow, but now it looks like it’s much more advanced than the first-generation space farm.”
The current space farm is much more advanced and more complete than the first generation space farm.
But no matter how advanced it is, it takes time for plants to grow.
For example, the growth cycle of these rice is one hundred and fifty days. The reason for this is to make the rice taste better.
You know, the environment is controlled for the growth of rice, and there is no need for pesticides.
In the old words, this is green food.
The two selected and looked at different crops. For the space farm, this is considered very good.
After visiting the space farm, the four of them visited a space ranch and a space fishery. They were all in similar situations. Simply put, with these space farms, space ranches, and space fisheries, humans will not have to worry about food in the future.
Speaking of which, in addition to those specially used to produce food, the general living area has planting areas and breeding areas, as well as factories for synthetic food. Therefore, it is very difficult for people to go hungry without food.
There are many ways to obtain food now. The most important thing is to look at resources and energy. As long as there are continuous resources and energy, no matter what method is used, there will be an endless supply of food.
After reading this, the four of them went to the human breeding center in a certain area.
There are a total of three hundred such human breeding centers around the earth. Each human breeding center can breed one billion children at the same time. This is still the current number, and the number of human breeding centers is still increasing.
The children of their two families were bred in the human breeding center where they are now. In seven months, these children will be born. At that time, the human population will suddenly increase by 40 billion. This is still The first tranche of the population increase plan.
At the current human reproduction center, there are many people coming to see their still-growing children, just like the four Su Zhes.
The four of them looked at the children of Fan Xiaoming and his wife first. The artificial wombs of a hundred children were put together, so they could look at them one by one.
During this process, Fan Xiaoming and his wife watched very carefully for fear of missing a child.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao followed behind.
After a while, it was over, and the four of them came to another place. At this time, Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao took a closer look.
This is one hundred children, plus one in Ning Qiaoqiao's belly, it means one hundred and one.
The two watched for a long time before leaving.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao followed Fan Xiaoming and arrived at the flying castle. Although the flying castle was smaller in size than the spaceship, it had all the necessary facilities.
The four of them stood at the top of the Flying Castle. From this position, they could see the whole view of the Flying Castle. Some domestic robots were busy farming, and some were busy taking care of the garden.
Four people sat at a round table, and a home robot brought four cups of tea.
Su Zhe looked at Fan Xiaoming and his wife and said, "You should also go shopping like us. By the way, your flying castle is really good. Many people have chosen the flying castle. You can go wherever you want. It's so convenient. The most The most important thing is home.”
After the flying castle came out, many people chose the flying castle.
Speaking of which, the Flying Castle itself has a self-sufficient circulation system. As long as the resources and energy are replenished, it can allow a thousand people to live in it for fifty years without the supplement of external energy and resources.
This kind of flying castle is very good, and many people have chosen it.
Some people just do it for fun, but some people do it for home. For example, Fan Xiaoming plans to live in the flying castle for a long time.
Fan Xiaoming shook his head and said with a smile: "No, we plan to stay here now, wait for the children to be born, and then take the children to wander around the solar system. This is what we want, of course, it's just My current thoughts may change after the children are born. Anyway, you can choose whatever you want now.”
Speaking of which, I now have full freedom. Even with the flying castle, my residence on earth is still my own.
The most important thing is that as long as he is active within the space of ten light years around the solar system, his scientific research work will not be delayed. This is what he values the most.
Think about it, I am running around and my work is not delayed at all.
Su Zhe smiled and said, "That's it! It's good. We are different. We take this time to look around. When the children are born, we will stay on earth and take care of them. We have thought about it. We need to train our children to become great talents. If there is no talent in science and engineering, then take the path of a great thinker. If there is no talent at all, then play well. If it is not a problem of ability, still want to lie down. That’s easy to handle, just let him go. No matter what happens to the children, it mainly depends on us as parents to take care of them. I am also thinking about how to take good care of our children now.”
In his opinion, rolling children is a must.
It's not like before. At that time, personal development would be restricted. Because of limited resources, most children could not get a good education. This was the past. Now that resources are sufficient, every child can get the best education. education.
However, raising children is a science. In the same environment, the children raised may be completely different.
Today's children don't lack anything, they basically have what they want. It would be boring if such children lay down early.
Besides, the purpose of increasing the population is to allow more people to participate in scientific and technological research, not to lie flat.
Think about it, today's children have been enjoying happiness since they were born. As for the requirements, they are really not very demanding. I just want them to take time to do scientific research while enjoying happiness.
To be honest, this requirement is really not high.
Fan Xiaoming looked at Su Zhe in surprise and said, "Aren't you being too strict? You and I have different ideas, and we don't have so many requirements. As long as they don't touch the bottom line of human beings, let them do whatever they want. , lie down, or do whatever they want, it’s up to them. Of course, if they really want to touch the bottom line, then they will be punished as they should be. As for becoming a talent, doing scientific research, etc., they are not forced, but they will be guided consciously. , from my personal point of view, I hope they can do scientific research. Now there is no shortage of anything. If you don’t find something for yourself to do, it will be boring. The most important thing is that we can ask for a lot. Children, I don’t believe it anymore, I want thousands of children who haven’t done scientific research yet.”
In his opinion, the most important thing for children’s education is guidance, and under the premise of guidance, children can grow up freely.
As I said in the past, I don’t want my children to be rich, I just want my children to be ordinary people and live an ordinary life.
This was the past, and now, there is no problem at all in terms of survival. You can live a prosperous life even if you lie down, how bad can your life be?
In this case, it would be easiest to lie flat, but if you lie flat, it would be meaningless.
Of course, he wouldn't expect that one child to be successful. After all, if there are many children, one of them will be successful.
As for whether children are successful now, it is not about who makes more money in the past, but about their contribution to science and technology, or their contribution to culture.
To put it bluntly, today’s children are competing to see who is smarter and who gets more honors.
We can only compare with these. As for material things, there is nothing to compare with. No one is short of material things now.
Su Zhe smiled and said: "It seems that we educate our children differently. It doesn't matter. We will know in a few years. I have to say, if your children are not good enough, our in-laws should not think about it.
I don’t even think about it. If we weren’t strict when they were young, we don’t know what they would become. There is nothing wrong with being strict when they were young. But when they grow up, it becomes difficult to control them. Of course, what I mean by strict is just On the contrary, it is mainly about learning and morality, and other things do not matter. Furthermore, what I value is our traditional culture, which cannot be taken lightly. Traditional culture is the link of our inheritance and must not be ignored. "
We still need to be strict with our children, especially now.
You know, if the current conditions are not properly managed, it will be lawless.
For now, freedom has been achieved in terms of resources and energy. In principle, personal needs should be met as much as possible. After all, they are allocated on demand.
In this case, there is a fuzzy area, and it is difficult to judge whether it is on demand. It depends on personal consciousness.
Don't waste it intentionally, just meet your own needs.
Although the upper limit is also limited, it is very troublesome to operate.
