Homo sapiens.

Chapter 559 Development Plan ([-])

Galaxy 3, February 5nd.

The earth is still the same, and the extreme weather brought about by global cooling is becoming more and more frequent. Under this huge climate crisis, the free world is still intriguing.

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

Unknowingly, the number of employees owned by Homo sapiens has once again broken through a record high, reaching a huge scale of 34 billion.

As the company's workforce grew, management began to plan ahead.

Since Homo sapiens company encourages employees to actively reproduce, 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, on the one hand, employees have no childbirth burden, which has led to three or four children in many families.

On the other hand, the death rate of the population 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 appear a bit high.

In this regard, the management of Homo sapiens company has no idea of ​​suppressing employees’ childbearing. After all, suppressing employees’ childbearing is easy to backfire. Encouraging childbearing is the best choice for Homo sapiens company at present.

As for whether the population will explode because of this.

Homo sapiens doesn't have any worries.

Even if there is no way to develop a livable alien in a short period of time, based on the current resources of the earth, as long as Homo sapiens company allocates it reasonably, let alone feed 34 billion employees, even if the scale is increased to 100 billion, the company can still afford afford.

That being the case, why suppress fertility?

Not only can it not be suppressed, but it must be encouraged to ensure that the natural growth rate of Homo sapiens companies can be maintained above 20% for a long time in the next 3 years.

Apparently Homo sapiens management is 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 get rid of the restrictions of the earth in the next 20 years, thus entering the first-level civilization and gradually moving towards the second-level civilization.

Employees of the company with high confidence are generally optimistic about the future development.

This has caused many people to not care about the consequences of population explosion, and Homo sapiens 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 work, and has not paid much attention to the company's management work. As long as there is no problem with the general direction, he usually will not interfere with the management's thinking.

And the management is also doing its best to develop the company.

For example, this symposium held by the Space Business Department.

Liu Zhifan, the person in charge of the Industrial Management Department, Wang Xinya, the person in charge of the Finance Department, Xiang Jiangmingxuan, the person in charge of the Science Business Department, and several other department heads all appeared at this symposium.

The person in charge of the space business department is Mikoyan. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he did not have stage fright, but called out a plan and projected it in front of everyone through holographic projection:

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

"Ahem, Dr. Mikoyan, are you sure that Venus is suitable for human beings 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 related experiments at the Yungong base. Some anthropomorphic subjects stayed on it for a maximum of 273 days, and no obvious discomfort or problem was found."

Hearing this, Jiang Mingxuan had no choice but to come out to speak. After all, the scientific research work of the Yungong project was carried out by their Science Division, so he had to answer other people's questions.

Jiang Mingxuan cleared his throat: "Well... We have not found any space sickness in the microgravity space station in the simulation experiments, animal experiments, and humanoid experiments, and Venus is also the closest terrestrial planet 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 N/kg
Venus: 8.78 N/kg
Earth: 9.80 N/kg
Mars: 3.72 N/kg
Jupiter: 23.12 N/kg
Saturn: 12.50 N/kg
Uranus: 8.70 N/kg
Neptune: 11.40 N/kg
Among them, the Earth, Venus, and Uranus have the closest surface gravity.

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

Therefore, Venus is more suitable to be the second home of human beings 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 that of the earth's sea level, and 97% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, and the rest is mostly sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. In addition to the frequent volcanoes on Venus, this is simply hell.

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

Mikoyan, who had been prepared for a long time, explained to everyone: "This is the core of the second phase of the project, please see..."

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

Pointing to the Venus model, he said: "Currently, the Yungong base is testing the synthesis process of vacuum carbon spheres. Judging from the test results, the carbon sphere 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 is convenient for local materials. In addition, we plan to build a large-scale solar power station in Venus's low-Earth orbit, taking advantage of Venus's proximity to the sun and making full use of its solar energy resources."

Liu Zhifan looked at the large-scale Venus orbiting solar power station project, and rubbed his temples involuntarily: "Is the scale too large?"

Because the scale of the Venus-orbit solar power station planned by the Space Business Department 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: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, we don't plan to transport materials from the earth, but plan to build solar panels and satellite main equipment at the Yungong base. The earth only needs to provide a small part of precision instruments to 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 materials from Earth to Venus, then everything is fine.

"Using the orbital solar power station to supply electricity can continuously extract gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in 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 can basically be stabilized, 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."

"I see." Wang Xinya suddenly realized.
