Homo sapiens

Star River Year 3, May 5th.

The earth is still the same. Extreme weather caused by global cooling is becoming more and more frequent. Amid this huge climate crisis, the free world is still fighting among itself.

The Homo sapiens company, which is firmly established in Diaoyutai, continues to expand its offshore platforms on the high seas and continues to absorb human resources in eastern Asia.

Unknowingly, the number of employees owned by Homo sapiens Company once again broke through the historical high, reaching a huge scale of 3.4 billion.

As the number of employees in the company increases, management also begins to prepare for rainy days.

Since Homo sapiens Company encourages its employees to actively have children, the current natural population growth rate of Homo sapiens company was 5.13% last year.

Of course, the reason for such a high natural growth rate is that employees do not have the burden of having children, which leads to the common situation of three or four children in many families.

On the other hand, the population mortality rate has dropped significantly, and the average life expectancy has reached 107 years.

The combination of the two makes the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens companies seem a bit high.

In this regard, the management of Homo sapiens company has no idea of ​​suppressing employee fertility. After all, suppressing employee fertility can easily be counterproductive. Encouraging fertility is the best choice for Homo sapiens company at present.

As for whether the population will explode as a result.

Homo sapiens has no worries.

Even if there is no way to develop livable aliens in a short time, based on the current resources of the earth alone, as long as the Homo sapiens company allocates them reasonably, let alone feeding 3.4 billion employees, even if the scale is increased to 10 billion, the company can still afford it. Affordable.

In this case, why suppress fertility?

Not only cannot we suppress it, but we must increase encouragement to ensure that in the next twenty years, the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens companies can be maintained at more than 3% for a long time.

Apparently the management of Homo sapiens has become a bit inflated.

The management generally believes that after a large number of new human employees gradually transform into scientific researchers, the company will completely escape the constraints of the earth in the next twenty years, thereby entering a first-level civilization and gradually moving towards a second-level civilization.

Company employees with high confidence are generally optimistic about future development.

This has resulted in many people not caring about the consequences of population explosion. The Homo sapiens company is so confident.

Of course, self-confidence is self-confidence, and they have not lost a penny when it comes to developing living space and investing in technology research and development.

Li Qingye has recently been obsessed with scientific research and has not paid much attention to the company's management. As long as there are no problems with the general direction, he usually does not interfere with the management's ideas.

The management is also working hard to develop the company.

For example, this symposium held by the Space Division.

As the head of the Industrial Management Department, Liu Zhifan, Wang Xinya, the head of the Finance Department, Xiang Mingxuan, the head of the Science Division, and several other department heads, all appeared at this symposium.

The head of the Space Division is Mikoyan. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he did not have stage fright. Instead, he prepared a plan and projected it in front of everyone through holograms:

"Everyone, the testing work of the Yungong project has gone very smoothly. Judging from the current operating status, everything is in line with expectations. We plan to start the second phase of the project..."

"Ahem, Dr. Mikoyan, are you sure Venus is suitable for humans to live on it for a long time?" Wang Xin had a suspicious expression on his face.

Dr. Mikoyan nodded: "The Science Division has conducted relevant experiments at the Yungong Base. Some humanoid experimental subjects have stayed there for a maximum of 273 days, and no obvious discomfort or problems were found."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingxuan had to speak out. After all, the scientific research work of the Yungong project was carried out by their scientific division, and he had to answer other people's questions.

Jiang Mingxuan cleared his throat: "Well... We have not found space sickness in the microgravity space station in simulation experiments, animal experiments, and humanoid experiments, and Venus is currently the closest terrestrial planet to the earth in the solar system... …”

While explaining, he called up some data about Venus.

For example, the surface gravity values ​​of the major planets in the solar system are as follows:

Mercury: 3.70 Newtons/kg

Venus: 8.78 Newtons/kg

Earth: 9.80 Newtons/kg

Mars: 3.72 Newtons/kg

Jupiter: 23.12 Newtons/kg

Saturn: 12.50 Newtons/kg

Uranus: 8.70 Newtons/kg

Neptune: 11.40 Newtons/kg

Among them, the surface gravity of the three planets, Earth, Venus, and Uranus, is the closest.

However, Uranus is a gaseous planet, and its distance from the earth is much further than Venus.

Therefore, Venus is more suitable to become human beings' second home in terms of gravity and distance.

Liu Zhifan did not doubt the research of the Science Division, but he had some doubts about how to transform Venus. After all, he could see a lot of very difficult data from the Venus data provided by Jiang Mingxuan.

For example, the surface temperature is 500 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is 100 times the atmospheric pressure at sea level on the Earth, 97% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, and most of the rest is sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. Coupled with the frequent volcanoes on Venus, it is simply hell.

He asked: "Dr. Mikoyan, how do you plan to overcome the harsh environment of Venus?"

Mikoyang, who was well prepared, explained to everyone: "This is the core of the second phase of the project. Please take a look..."

The holographic projection lists a large number of conceptual models and chart data.

He pointed to the Venus model and said: "Currently, the Yunggong Base is testing the synthesis process of vacuum carbon balls. Judging from the test results, the carbon ball synthesis fungus is very stable and has not encountered the same problems as the space station and the moon base."

"The atmosphere of Venus is rich in carbon dioxide resources, which makes it easy to obtain local materials. In addition, we plan to build a large-scale solar power station in Venus's low-Earth orbit to take advantage of Venus's proximity to the sun and make full use of its solar energy resources."

Liu Zhifan looked at the large-scale Venus orbit solar power station project and couldn't help but rub his temples: "Is this scale too large?"

Because the scale of the Venus orbiting solar power station planned by the Space Division is indeed astonishingly large. Basically, it is to build a large circle of solar panels around the equator in the low-Earth orbit of Venus at an altitude of 500 kilometers.

However, Mikoyan shook his head: "Don't worry, Minister Liu. We are not planning to transport supplies from the Earth. Instead, we are planning to build solar panels and satellite main equipment at the Yungong base. The Earth only needs to provide a small number of precision instruments. Can."

"Is that so? That can be considered." Liu Zhifan nodded.

As long as there is no need to transport such a huge amount of supplies from Earth to Venus, everything is fine.

"Using orbital solar power stations to supply electrical energy can continuously extract gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide from the atmosphere of Venus, and we can solve a large part of the raw material problem."

Then Mikoyan continued: "As the scale of the Yungong base continues to expand, the Yungong base can basically stabilize, and then we can use the floating platform to sink to the surface of Venus..."

Wang Xinya asked: "Why not use carbon nanotube cables?"

Jiang Mingxuan explained the situation to her: "Carbon nanotubes cannot withstand high temperatures. The surface of Venus maintains a high temperature of 500 degrees Celsius all year round. Only nano-ceramic coatings and high-temperature resistant alloy cables can be used."

"That's it." Wang Xinya suddenly realized.
