Chapter 71 Plan Formulation
Yu Yifeng thought for a while and raised the priority of mining to another level...
In the process of formulating the plan, he increasingly felt that one of the big problems was that the population was too small.
There is a serious shortage of labor force, only 50,000 people, which is really too few.
Although the degree of automation in factories is quite good now, it still requires a small number of people to manage it, and machinery such as excavators must be operated by people. These various numbers of people add up to a very large number.
For this kind of heavy industry, the best way is to research more advanced and intelligent automated robots to replace human labor. Some laboratories are already working on these intelligent development projects, and Yu Yifeng only hopes that they will make some good progress.
"Developing a large number of robots can replace human labor. However, there are still some jobs that cannot be replaced by robots... These positions must be filled with talents."
Yu Yifeng was a little upset when he thought of these positions.
For example: doctors, teachers, reporters, police, etc. These positions cannot be replaced by robots in a short time and require a lot of human resources.
And, the most annoying thing is that with the birth of new babies, the labor force will be greatly reduced! Some women are pregnant. This part of the labor force must be excluded. It is impossible to let them do heavy work, right?
After giving birth to a child, they have to spend several years raising and caring for the child. This job cannot be completed by robots. Maybe it can be done in the future... but humans are not yet at that level.
If calculated based on a 5% fertility rate, 2,500 children would be born a year! At least 2,500 women have lost their labor force. In this way, 5% of the labor force has been lost in one year. What will happen in two or three years? Children must be at least three years old before they can go to kindergarten...
Not only that, in order to welcome the large number of newborns, the number of doctors and nurses must also increase to ensure that no medical accidents occur.
In the next few years, the number of teachers will need to be increased, starting from kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and all the way to university.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, although the entire population will increase, the labor force that can actually be utilized will gradually decrease.
This... Yu Yifeng knocked on the table hard and shook his head helplessly. A newborn was a must, but the social burden it brought was too heavy. He really had a headache.
This is the painful period of demographic transition. Yu Yifeng frowned in embarrassment. In the past few years or even decades, he must grit his teeth and get through it. As long as he gets through it, the new batch of children will grow up, and the population base will It will expand and the structure will gradually become more reasonable...
"It would be great if there were 100,000 or 200,000 people. In this case, human resources would not be so embarrassed..."
Yu Yifeng thought so.
But soon, he scolded himself for being too greedy. Although there are only 50,000 people now, their overall quality is so high that it is rare in the world. If the population is large and there are all kinds of people, it may not be so easy to manage.
From the moon to Mars, Yu Yifeng is very satisfied with the spiritual attitude and mobility of the entire new human civilization.
In all kinds of troubles, many people can actively save themselves and even sacrifice themselves. It can be said that the overall quality of the entire civilization has been greatly improved in crisis after crisis.
There is really no way to fault the spirit of unity and work enthusiasm of the new human civilization. Yu Yifeng is already very satisfied.
What's more, there are nearly 30,000 top scientists on the entire Noah, and they are all geniuses selected from all over the world, with an average IQ of over 140. This number is really quite a lot. Everyone is smart and very easy to manage.
If we compare the new human civilization with the United States, the most powerful country in the past, what will be the result?
The proportion of PhDs in the United States is less than 1% of the total population. Excluding the large number of PhDs in economics, EMBA, etc., the number of PhDs who are truly capable of engaging in scientific research is only 0.6%, or two million people.
And these two million people, after graduation, will be diverted from all walks of life, and they will choose to join large companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. As for the number of people who are actually engaged in national-level scientific research, there may be only about 100,000 people, or about 200,000 people.
Compared with the 200,000 scientists in the United States, the 30,000 scientists on board Noah are at a quantitative disadvantage, but they have a qualitative advantage. Because these 30,000 people are carefully selected elites from all over the world, (including the United States itself), they are truly one to ten!
Scientific research has never been won by numbers, but by quality. 99% of the world's knowledge is created by 1% of people.
Although Americans are awesome, are they better than the elites in the world combined?
The quality of these 30,000 scientists is definitely higher than the 200,000 in the United States! The remaining 20,000 people, although not scientists, are also top talents in various industries. Their abilities are really very, very high, and they can no longer be picky.
Therefore, the scientific research capabilities of the new human civilization are very strong, at least three-quarters of the level of the entire United States. Whether it is Professor Ding Yidong, Dr. Felix, Dr. Roman, or the geologist Dimo just now, they are all famous beings.
Many people are national elites. Otherwise, they are not qualified to go to the moon.
There are other chemists, biologists, physicists, etc., all of whom are top-notch talents... The scientific research capabilities of the entire Noah are absolutely invincible!
Yu Yifeng's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something. In the current scientific community of Noah, there is still such a saying: "The science and technology of our new human civilization has not only not declined after the earth exploded, but has accelerated its development by 10 years!"
Why? The main reason is the integration of science and technology from various countries.
Although science has no borders, scientists have nationalities. They can't share the country's confidential technology and people.
These 30,000 scientists are all leaders in their fields. Many of them have done high-end research for the country and accumulated a lot of experience and technology. But these secrets will never be shared with peers under normal circumstances.
But now, everything is different. The various countries have become a thing of the past. There is no secret. Scientific exchange is the most important thing.
So, the Chinese contributed their high-speed rail technology, the Japanese contributed their electronic parts technology, the French contributed their nuclear power, the Germans contributed their automated manufacturing... Of course, there are also Americans, who contributed more diverse things...
Don't underestimate this kind of communication. These technologies were originally state-level secrets. Any one of them requires a lot of experience and time accumulation. Without decades of research, it is impossible to get it!
Just like China's high-speed rail technology, other countries are very coveted, but even the most powerful country, the United States, has to study for 20 years to catch up. The manufacture of these things requires a large number of patents to accumulate, and there is no shortcut.
But now, all high-end technologies have been made public, and they all belong to the new human civilization!
The benefits of this are obvious. For example, the Chinese have studied engines for decades, but there are no particularly good results. Now the Americans have directly taken out all the data and let the Chinese learn for free.
Not only that, the Russians also took out the results of their own country and rushed to shout: "Look at mine! Look at mine!"
The problems that a country is troubled by are often solved in another country. This kind of communication has brought a huge impact. All scientists are studying tirelessly, which has raised the overall scientific research capabilities to a higher level.
It can be said that the new human civilization has inherited almost all the top technologies on the entire earth. Overall, it is more than 10 years ahead of any country in terms of technology. This statement is still reasonable...
Thinking of this, Yu Yifeng slammed the table heavily. Communication alone is not enough, and experiments and practices are needed!
Then, give them enough resources, sufficient energy, and a large amount of industry to maximize their imagination and let the technology of the entire new human explode again!
This is Yu Yifeng's personal idea. After all, he wants to push the entire new human civilization to extreme wealth within a few years.
Extreme wealth is just the first step for a starry sky civilization.
Since the population is too small, only automation, intelligence, and mechanization can allow robots to replace human positions in large numbers. Yu Yifeng picked up the entire plan and thought about it several times. He felt that it was basically the same and could be implemented.
He acted quickly. Next, it was the House of Representatives...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference room was filled with various members of the parliament and the heads of various enterprises and major research institutes. They will participate in the formulation and discussion of this plan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my preliminary plan. Let's take a look first."
At the House of Representatives, Yu Yifeng sent the plan to the computers of all participants.
Many people couldn't wait to look at the screen. Although they had read it several times beforehand, they were shocked by this grand and huge plan every time they read it.
"Let me briefly talk about it. There are three major goals. First, vigorously strengthen the productivity of Noah, whether it is heavy industry or light industry.
In order to achieve this goal, we will give priority to the third industrial revolution, and major enterprises and research institutes will give priority to serving industrial production. To this end, we will also establish new factories and new laboratories to achieve full automation of industrial production!"
Full automation means that industrial manufacturing is completely produced by machines automatically, and no manpower is required during the process. Humans are only responsible for design and final monitoring.
"Second, improve people's living environment. In the initial goal, we plan to open up a living space of 200 square kilometers on Noah and establish a preliminary ecological environment system. We want to create a living environment similar to that of the earth."
Hearing this news, Dr. Roman smiled with satisfaction. Fortunately, the great scientist did not die from the Martian virus.
Now that he heard that the ecosystem project was finally mentioned in the bill, Roman felt quite satisfied and nodded slightly.
"Third, build more public service facilities, schools, hospitals, libraries, gymnasiums, parks, etc. As we all know, our new human civilization is about to welcome a group of new members. They deserve good medical care and education, don't you think?"
Among the council members below, there were also several people who were about to become parents. When they heard this, they all laughed happily.
Then, Yu Yifeng repeated the details, "Okay, do you have any objections? If not, let me talk about the specific plan arrangements, and you can point out anything wrong..."
Amid the noisy discussion, the plan was implemented bit by bit. Many plans were proposed in the "big construction project" a few months ago, but were rejected due to the limitation of spacecraft resources.
However, in this industrial revolution, such plans have become a reality!
Like the "Kirov Industrial Plant", "New Human Ore Refinery", and various large-scale industrial laboratories, etc., all undertake very important tasks. These plans made the people sitting below very excited, and many people's blood was boiling, and even their breathing became heavy.
"First, set a small goal: greatly improve industrial capacity to double in six months!" Yu Yifeng explained solemnly.
He was not kidding, doubling in six months, this is exponential growth! 1 year is 4 times, 2 years is 16 times, 3 years is 64 times! This is an increasingly fast growth!
"Double in six months, do you understand? We must move towards this goal!" Yu Yifeng said solemnly.
No one thought he was joking, but applauded enthusiastically. Many people were fanatical. If all goals can be achieved, the new human civilization will definitely undergo a qualitative change!
In fact, this goal is still quite difficult, no, it is very difficult! But no one cares about this problem. Difficulties are meant to be overcome, and goals are meant to be achieved. If you shrink back when there are some difficulties, then what kind of industry and engineering are you doing?
What's more, scientists and engineers don't have a shrinking mentality at all. They want challenges and want to truly achieve these big projects and big goals!
I'm stuck. I can't write anything for a long time. There is only this chapter today, which is nearly 4,000 words... I'm sorry, there is no update in the evening. It's not that I'm not good, I'm really stuck.
I have to think about how to write about industrialization later...
Finally, thank the three book friends Immortal Legend, Mu You and Moonlight Sadness for their rewards.
