Super industrial overlord

Chapter 681 Population surge
As the climate and crust of Venus began to stabilize, the infrastructure of human civilization on the surface of Venus finally began to enter the construction stage.

As a result, countless spaceships traveled between the earth and Venus for a while. Of course, most of these spaceships between the earth and Venus transported various mechanical equipment and engineering equipment.

After all, the infrastructure construction on the surface of Venus is such a huge project, so it is impossible to transport all the things that need to be used from the earth.

If this is done, the current space transportation capacity of the entire human civilization will never be able to meet this need.

Therefore, most of the various equipment and raw materials needed for the construction of meticulous infrastructure need to be mined, smelted, and manufactured on Venus.

The main function of these mechanical equipment and engineering equipment transported in the past is to mine various minerals on Venus, and then use these minerals to smelt various metal and non-metal materials, and finally process various materials and various materials required for engineering construction infrastructure. kinds of accessories.

Of course, there are so many basic projects on Venus, and the number of companies and enterprises involved is naturally very large, including not only the official enterprises controlled by the countries on the earth, but also the enterprises and factories of the capital giants on the earth. A very large number of small and medium-sized enterprises participated. These enterprises not only started to build various factories on Venus, but also began to mine various minerals on Venus.

Although the environment of Venus at this time is still very threatening compared to the local environment of the earth, after all, even on the surface of Venus at this time, there will still be large and small earthquakes from time to time, even if it is established by these enterprises and factories. It has been confirmed that the insolvability of the place is relatively low, and the probability of natural disasters such as earthquakes is relatively small, but it is not impossible.

For example, recently, there have been large-scale earthquakes in the factory buildings of many large and small enterprises, causing them heavy losses. Fortunately, the Human Federation has begun to use various unmanned equipment on a large scale, and these on Mars Most of the factories are unmanned factories, so the losses of these enterprises are basically all kinds of equipment, and the number of casualties is extremely rare.

Of course, this is not to say that no casualties were caused during the meticulous transformation process, because that is impossible.

You must know that even on the earth, when the current Earth Federation officials are constructing various infrastructures, there will be casualties, let alone an environment like Venus.

Of course, among so many companies involved in meticulous environmental transformation, the project undertaken by the Colorful Stone Group is the largest in number, largest in scale and most difficult.

Take the Venus Atmospheric Sky Garden project undertaken by their Colorful Stone Group as an example. According to the design standard of my project, their Colorful Stone Group will build a sky city with a diameter of 30 kilometers in the middle layer of the atmosphere of Venus, that is, the stratosphere. This sky garden must not only have the ability to stay in the stratosphere of the atmosphere of Venus for a long time, but also have the ability to provide production and life for 100 million people at the same time.

Because although human civilization has initially transformed Venus, making the environment of Venus close to that of Earth, there is still a huge gap between the current environment of Venus and the environment of Earth, even if human civilization completely transforms Venus into the appearance of Earth in the future. There is no need to think about living on the land of Venus for a while.

Because after the basic environmental transformation of Venus is completed, human beings must put a large number of creatures on Venus to make Venus full of vitality, improve the food chain, and finally protect the ecology of Venus. It is the best choice for human beings at high altitudes.

Of course, there will be a lot of areas on the ground to build human cities. After all, if the ground creatures in human history live in the sky for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some bad diseases or gene mutations.

In addition, Zhang Yi's colorful stone group also undertook the construction of the Venus synchronous orbit sky port and the Venus large-scale space station, because with the technological progress of human civilization, the extension of life expectancy has greatly improved the birth rate and infant survival rate. The population of human civilization has begun to increase explosively.

Take these ten years as an example, the population of human civilization has actually increased by 100 billion compared to 50 billion ten years ago, which means that the number of people in the entire human civilization has actually reached 150 billion. In fact, such a population It has reached the limit that the earth can bear, that is, the human population has increased by 50.00% in just ten years.

But even if the population of the earth has reached 150 billion, it has reached the limit of the population that the earth can bear, but the current Earth Federation has not, because the population has reached the limit that the earth can bear, and it is continuing to increase Vigorously encourage childbearing, in order to increase the heritage of human civilization.

Because both Zhang Yi and the high-level officials of the Earth Federation are very clear that as human civilization begins to truly enter the cosmic era and the development of science and technology, such a small population can do nothing at all, not to mention other things. The total population of the major space stations above the earth and the moon bases has reached more than 10 billion. In addition, the entire human civilization is now vigorously introducing space cities in various living spaces. After another 10 years, only these Space cities, large space stations and lunar cities, etc., can have a population of one billion or even tens of billions.

And with human civilization, once the transformation of Venus is completed, it is estimated that Venus can at least provide the environment necessary for survival for more than 100 billion or more people.

What's more, human civilization's transformation of Venus is only the first attempt by human civilization to transform an inland planet to make it a habitable planet. As long as human civilization succeeds in transforming Venus this time, when necessary, human beings can transform more planets. There are many planets to transform, and there are a lot of inland planets in the solar system that can be transformed by humans, including Mars, Jupiter's satellite, and Mars' satellite Titan.

For the current human civilization, the population is not too large, but too small, and it has been unable to keep up with the technological development of human civilization. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage the increase of population.

Of course, with the existing technology of human civilization, if it is really necessary, genetic technology can also be used to increase the human population, but in doing so, the risk is too high, the uncertain factors are too high, and the uncontrollable factors are too high, so Now the Human Federation and Zhang Yi himself firmly believe that the best way to use genetic technology to increase the human population is to encourage people to reproduce naturally to increase the population.
