Chapter 636 The Golden Age of Development

"...According to the current model, our universe is located in a three-dimensional membrane. The strings that form elementary particles are divided into two types: closed strings and open strings. Gravitons are open strings, and their two ends are located in higher-dimensional membranes, so they can penetrate multiple dimensions. So gravity looks very weak."

"Photons, electrons, quarks, etc. are made up of closed strings, so they cannot leave our three-dimensional universe."

"It is not known whether there are more closed string materials in other membranes...For the time being, we can only use gravitons to conduct disturbance detection. The other membrane is actually equivalent to a parallel universe. The collision between membranes is devastating to our universe...Of course, we don't need to worry about this for the time being."

In this large-scale popular science lecture, Yu Yifeng was listening with relish.

The research on space and multidimensional universe has always been the current development focus. It involves many fields, such as artificial gravity, anti-gravity, faster curvature navigation, etc.

Even to transform a white dwarf war star, dimensional technology must be used. If there is no way to offset gravity, all machinery will be directly crushed.

After the lecture, there was thunderous applause...

Time flies, now it is September of the 723rd year of the New Human Calendar, and it has been sixty-three years since the Pangu started the escape mode...

After blowing up an enemy war star, the new humans successfully disrupted the entire "encirclement" plan.

On the one hand, the encirclement had a small breakthrough; on the other hand, the destruction of the war star also brought a great deterrent to a certain extent.

A planet was inexplicably destroyed. A normal commander would have to run over to take a look, right? Otherwise, maybe this kind of misfortune will befall him again.

In this case of difficult communication, it often takes several years from observing the destruction of the war star to sailing over for reinforcement.

Obviously, between the two choices of rescuing their own war stars or tracking an enemy that may not be caught up, many war stars chose the former...

In addition, the huge spatial distance in the universe leads to a significant delay in information. The news of the destruction of the war star may take more than ten years to spread throughout the encirclement, which greatly delays time and allows the Pangu to escape smoothly.

The entire civilization spent another ten years to completely build a planetary curvature engine. The speed of Pangu reached 8 times the speed of light.

The substantial increase in navigation speed also made the LLP Silicon Alliance gradually give up the pursuit.

The Future had already successfully reunited with Pangu forty years ago.

Recalling the moment when the enemy war star was destroyed more than sixty years ago, Yu Yifeng still felt a surge of emotion...

After listening to this lecture, he returned to the central command center of Pangu, and the reports in the computer had already piled up like a mountain.

The entire planet is under construction in full swing. With the reunion of the Future and Pangu, the affiliated civilization awakened from the hibernation chamber, and the golden age of great development is coming quickly!

The development of Pangu has brought too many jobs.

A planet needs to be hollowed out by 10%-20%, which is equivalent to 100 billion tons of matter!

100 billion tons! It is eight orders of magnitude heavier than the Future.

What a huge project this is, and hundreds of years of hard work is not much.

The process of building a planet is also the process of civilization growth. Whether it is industry, agriculture, or entertainment, all are needed. After all, a person cannot just work without rest.

As a result, the whole stall is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more jobs, and a large-scale population shortage has emerged. Even if the population of the affiliated civilization undertakes some marginalized flexible work, it is still far from enough.

"Lack of people..." Yu Yifeng had a slight headache. When he thought of the universal superhuman plan during the Auriga period, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

If that plan had not been implemented, the current population would have been 700 million or 800 million, right? At worst, no matter how low the birth rate is, there would still be 100 million or 200 million.

As a result, now...

"But it's hard to say. If that plan had not been implemented, many important scientists would have died of old age. These scientists were selected from the six billion people on Earth, and there is only one in ten thousand..."

"Without transformation into superhumans, the average intelligence would not reach the level of almost universal genius like now. We are likely to be only an L3 civilization until now, and our productivity is even lower than it is now."

Yu Yifeng thought about it and gave up the entanglement in this regard. Anyway, it's too late to regret it. And he still believed that his original choice was correct.

The "Census Report Results" of the 722nd year of the New Human Calendar showed that after so many years, the population of the new humans finally broke through the 6.6 million mark, and the ratio of men to women was basically balanced.

Among them, 5.2% of the population was still studying in school and was not very useful. The rest were basically high-quality talents.

The population of the indigenous lizards increased by about 26%, reaching a total of 60 million...

It must be said that this number was seriously lower than expected. It took more than 60 years to increase the population by 26%. Isn't it a joke?

In contrast, a strange scene happened. The birth rate of the Chiyanjiao people, who have a lower reproductive capacity, is higher, and there are even second and third births. The total population is about 1.8 million.

The population problem is a serious problem. It is still a little difficult to transform the entire planet with a total population of less than 100 million.

Soon, relevant researchers conducted a series of scientific studies on this phenomenon.

People found that the low birth rate of the lizard population is a series of results caused by the dividends of science and technology.

As technology becomes more and more advanced and life becomes better and better, the concept of having children and supporting the elderly no longer exists.

However, the more developed, the higher the relative cost of raising children and the lower the rate of return.

At this stage, for the lizard people, raising a child is not only to feed, but also to raise well. Educational resources are always scarce here, which greatly increases the cost of training lizards.

Secondly, the extension of the training cycle also makes the birth rate lower. In the agricultural era, people could go to work in the fields at the age of ten, but in the interstellar era, they were still studying in school at the age of thirty, which also brought more burdens to the family.

After all, these lizards do not have a comprehensive and free communist system.

"The average life span of lizards has increased to 110 years. The first thirty years have to be spent studying, and then they have to work for another 40 to 50 years before they can retire. In this case, it is normal for the birth rate to be low."

An expert in charge of the census said: "For them, life pressure is not small. There are many complaints in the internal network forum."

"Pressure... Don't our children have pressure? But they can't not study..."

Yu Yifeng spread his hands: "If they don't study, they can't even farm. Now they use technology to farm. Do they want us to support them for free? Impossible..."

"Intelligent life is always greedy. It's normal for them to want better welfare benefits. Then make more contributions and higher value!"

"Better treatment, including extending life span, etc., is not difficult for us, but only if we pay enough can we help them..."

Relatively speaking, the birth rate of the Chiyanjiao people is higher because they have a higher sense of crisis. This civilization subconsciously compares with Hexi. It has always been weak in terms of population and industry. After all, the subordinate civilizations have always been in a state of competition and cooperation.

This implicit sense of crisis has always encouraged large-scale births within the civilization.

The most important thing is that the Chiyanjiao people have a very long natural lifespan. Even without special means of prolonging their lifespan, they can still live for more than 300 years. Compared with such a longevity, more than 30 years of study time is slightly acceptable.

"We have to continue to control the population policy, but how the future will develop should be solved by themselves, and we should not interfere too much."
