The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 545 The Status Quo of Starship Earth

The handshake between Jiang Yu and Zhang Beihai can be seen as a close cooperative relationship between the solar system country and Starship Earth.

Now Jiang Yu is basically the symbol and spiritual leader of the solar system country, and Zhang Beihai is the symbol and spiritual leader of Starship Earth.

After a long time, Jiang Yu said, "The last time we met was more than 200 years ago."

Zhang Beihai smiled and said, "Yeah, I never dreamed that I could see human beings take root and sprout in another planetary system.

"I've always wanted to say thank you for all your support of Starship Earth."

Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head: "Helping you is helping ourselves. In this cold universe, it feels good to have companions."

Now Zhang Beihai feels to Jiang Yu, just like Luo Ji after retirement.

The heavy burden on the shoulders was lifted.

Then Jiang Yu shook hands with Dongfang Yanxu and others. Chu Yan and Dongfang Yanxu have been in power in turn.

Now Chu Yan is going to develop another planetary system, not in the capital of Starship Earth.

At the spaceport, a group of people transferred to the shuttle and returned to the ground.

Only a part of Jiang Yu's entourage followed Jiang Yu to land, because the place where the starship Earth lives is limited, and it would not be able to live if they all reached the ground.

There is only one city on this planet, called New Territories City. In Jiang Yu's opinion, it is better to call it a small town than a city.

There is also a grand welcome ceremony on the ground. After all, this is the visit of the head of state of another country, so it is natural to try to look warmer.

Next, Zhang Beihai took Jiang Yu to visit the New Territories City. The structure here is not complicated. Most of them are industrial areas, and the rest are residential areas, with almost no leisure and entertainment areas.

The resident population here is less than 5, so the scale of the city is not large.

The population of Starship Earth used to have a serious age gap. When they set off, their interstellar voyage capabilities were still immature, and their survival resources were limited. Therefore, during the journey, birth control was extremely strict.

After arriving on a new planet, the population is too small, and no matter what you do, it seems powerless.

For example, climate air-conditioning requires many people to debug and supervise the construction of robots, but because the population is too small, even the manufacture of construction robots is somewhat powerless.

A system like climate air conditioning is a huge project for them, and they simply cannot afford to deploy it.

So the first thing Starship Earth did when he came to the new world was to try to have a baby.

At that time, the crew was basically middle-aged, and when the children grew up, the parents were already old.

So at that time, there were only old people, young people, and children on Starship Earth, and no middle-aged people.

Population has always been the flaw of Starship Earth, and fewer people means less demand, which makes Starship Earth's size so far very small.

With such a small size, there is no way to develop a civilization that is too powerful.

Jiang Yu thought to himself: No wonder the development of human beings has been tepid in the original book. The current state of Starship Earth cannot keep up with the development of the countries in the solar system.

Starship Earth also thought about using clones to alleviate the urgent need, but after the first batch of clones appeared, their social positioning was very vague.

On the issue of dealing with human cloning, serious disagreements arose within Starship Earth, and in the end the plan fell through.

There are only a few streets in the New Territories, and the buildings are mainly practical, which is not worth seeing.

This is also the characteristic of Starship Earth. Whether it is architecture, transportation, or others, it is all for practical purposes. As for the appearance, it only needs to be reasonable, and it never cares about whether it is beautiful or not.

After a brief tour, Jiang Yu and others were arranged to stay in the only hotel, which was fully occupied by the group.

The next day, Jiang Yu led the accompanying officials to conduct the first round of negotiations with the Starship Earth officials headed by Dongfang Yanxu.

Because we had communicated long ago, the negotiation went smoothly.

During the intermission, Jiang Yu chatted with an official of Starship Earth: "Do you have any delicious food here?"

The food provided by the hotel yesterday was really hard to swallow, Jiang Yu planned to go out to find something to eat by himself.

The official was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Starship Earth doesn't have high requirements for food, so there is no special local food.

"If I had to say it, it would be nutrition bars of various flavors. I heard businessmen from the solar system countries complain that they have already settled on a planet, but they still eat such unnutritious things as nutrition bars?"

When talking about this incident, the official laughed and took it as a joke.

Jiang Yu also had the same question in his heart: "Yes, we have settled down, why not improve the quality of life?"

"Life must make way for survival." The official said: "This should be the difference between us.

"We believe that everything must be based on survival, and everything other than survival is a burden on civilization."

Jiang Yu didn't continue this topic, he would have brought some food if he knew it earlier.

On the first day of the talks, a lot of results were achieved.

In the evening, Jiang Yu invited Zhang Beihai to have dinner in the hotel in his own name.

Looking at the simple and not very tasty meals on the table, Jiang Yu said with a smile: "This visit is more like my weight loss journey."

Zhang Beihai also smiled, and then he said seriously: "I have also discovered this problem a long time ago, the long life on the ship and the dark battles made the first citizens of Starship Earth generally forget the meaning of life.

"The new generation has not seen the rich and colorful life of human beings, so they gradually formed this survival-oriented way of life.

"You should have heard that there was a time when many people suggested injections for energy.

"Fortunately, there is the counterexample of the 'Black Man', otherwise they might not know how to torture themselves."

Jiang Yu pinched his chin and thought for a while: "I remember that the country in the solar system and the starship earth can study in each other's country, right?"

"Yes," Zhang Hokkaido: "When we formally established diplomatic relations, we launched a mechanism for mutual study abroad.

"But because we are so far apart, this study abroad mechanism is like a decoration.

"When I woke up from hibernation, all survival-oriented thinking had become the mainstream thinking.

"Even if the resources are abundant now, they will still not use the resources for life. Instead, they will try to invest resources in the development of new galaxies."

Speaking of this, Zhang Beihai let out a long sigh: "The long-term wandering life in space and the psychological torture of dark battles really left a psychological shadow on people.

"So that no one has any extravagant expectations for life. Although I have tried hard, it is useless."

Jiang Yu smiled wryly and said: "This is not good, it is too calm and too rational.

"It's very difficult to survive in the universe, if you can't maintain a positive attitude, if you can't get a spiritual rest in life.

"Like an ascetic monk, only cultivation is left, which is very painful and can easily lead to the collapse of civilization."

　Thanks to [Zhuer Beggar] for the 100-point reward.
