Chapter 309 Zhu Lei's Speech

After exploring Io, the Hornets collected detailed data on Europa, Ganymede, Ganymede, and the remaining three Jupiter's largest satellites, and also landed on these planets to collect planetary samples.

And after each completion, they will send detailed data back to the moon.

After exploring the four major satellites of Jupiter, they really embarked on a journey to the edge of the solar system.

At this time, the discussion meeting on the Mars transformation plan of the moon has been going on for nearly a year. During such a long time, the Mars transformation discussion meeting has drawn up a preliminary transformation plan and started to make further preparations.

And Zhu Lei Yong'an Group has sold nearly 2000 small mining spaceships to the entire Ming Dynasty, and even sold dozens of medium-sized space mining ships, but Yong'an Group has not sold a single large-scale space mining ship until now. .

However, for the large-scale space mining ship Zhu Lei and his Yongan Group do not want to sell it to the public for the time being. After all, to mine asteroids and minerals in the Kuiper belt in the solar system, small mining ships and medium-sized mining ships are enough, and there is no need to use large space mining ships. , of course the large space mining ships are aimed at the Ming Empire.

And during this period of time, Zhu Lei also added more than 300 space battleships to his Suzaku army, the largest of which has a length of more than 1500 meters and a tonnage of more than one million tons. Currently the largest spaceship in the Ming Empire.

Moreover, the technology used on this spaceship is currently the most advanced technology in the Ming Empire. Take the electromagnetic railgun as an example, its power is many times stronger than that of the previous ones. It can reach 0.7 times the speed of light.

However, this speed is also the highest speed that human science and technology can achieve at present. If you want the cannonball to fly faster, then it is impossible with the current technology of the Ming Empire. Of course, with the development of technology, the electromagnetic railgun of the Ming Empire will The speed will definitely be improved, but because the faster the speed, the greater the quality.

If you want to continue to increase the speed of electromagnetic railgun shells, the energy required is also very large.

After this period of intense construction, the first phase of the space smelting base project that Zhu Lei and his Yongan Group are building has finally been completed. The output of steel and other metals in the entire Ming Empire has also increased by nearly twice. However, although the metal output A substantial increase, but for the current Ming Empire.

This kind of steel output is far from being enough, because as the Ming Empire is moving towards the stars and seas faster, more and more various metal materials are needed. Also began large-scale construction of various smelting plants.

But in fact, the Ming Empire's demand for steel is also growing rapidly, but this situation will be effectively resolved after Zhu Lei's second phase of the project is completed, because the second phase of the Yong'an Group's project is compared with the first phase of the project. The scale is definitely much larger, and the technology is more advanced, and the output is more than ten times that of the first phase of the project.

At that time, the steel output of the Ming Empire will basically be at the same level, but because the demand for metals in the Ming Empire is also growing crazily, the third phase of the project will be entered immediately after the completion of the second phase of the project, and only in this way can it keep up with the empire Demand for various metals.

Finally, after more than a year of discussion at the Mars Project Discussion Conference, an effective implementation plan was finally reached, and this plan was basically approved by the majority of people present. Although transforming Mars is a very dangerous thing, there is a slight difference after all. It will be a huge disaster for human beings, and it may even lead to the end of national subjugation and extinction.

But everyone knows that if the Mars project is not carried out, the development of mankind will be greatly restricted, and to put it bluntly, the entire human civilization will definitely collapse due to resource reasons in the near future, so whether it is the Ming Empire The top management and all the scientists present are very clear that the Mars project must be carried out.

Zhu Lei stood in the middle of the meeting hall, and then slowly looked around. At this time, all the scientific workers in the hall also turned their attention to him standing in the middle, waiting for him to summarize the discussion on Mars transformation.

Zhu Lei took a deep breath and said, "Hello everyone! I think everyone knows me, so I won't introduce myself anymore, and everyone here is the top in every field of our Ming Empire." Scientists and scholars, although many people have different opinions on the Mars transformation plan.

And I know that among the scientific workers who are actually doing it, some people still oppose the Mars project now, thinking that humans don’t need to be so anxious to carry out the Mars project. After all, humans are not fully sure about transforming Mars. After the development reaches a certain level, Mars can only be transformed after having full confidence in the transformation of the planet, which will greatly improve the safety of the entire human race.

But time waits for no one. Everyone knows that in the past 20 years, the population of the Ming Empire has increased by 50% from the original 300 billion to now. That is to say, the total population of the Ming Empire now totals 150 billion. There are more than [-] million people, and this number is still rising rapidly that year.

According to the latest inferences of scientists, the entire earth can support a population of about 300 billion at most. There are only 400 billion people, and it will not take 400 years from now on for the human beings with a population of more than 20 billion, that is to say, at most 20 years, or even [-] years, to fill up the entire Earth-Moon system.

Maybe many people will say that as long as we slow down the population growth rate, or limit the population growth rate, we will have enough time to transform Mars, but I disagree with them, you must know that human beings have already begun to enter the universe The big family, and the population is one of the largest and most important resources of each race in the universe. If a race wants to survive in the universe, a sufficient number of people is necessary, and a population of more than 200 billion, for The entire universe is just a very small, very small point, you can't even see it, and there will be various accidents at any time that will lead to the extinction of the entire race.

So everyone, our time is very precious, and our population is still very small. You must know that since we humans have mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology, we have become an intermediate and elementary civilization in the universe, that is, the first civilization in the universe. Three-stage civilization, and it is still the primary civilization of the third stage. What is the specific population of the third-stage civilization in the universe? Generally speaking, the average population of the third-stage civilization is around 1000 billion, and the entire human civilization Now there is only a population of less than two hundred and one. Let's think about how far we humans are from the average population of the third-stage civilization.

So in order to feed more people, it must be started immediately. If possible, I hope to start tomorrow. We don’t know when alien civilizations will come to the solar system, and what will be their purpose, war or peace? "
