Chapter 29 Programming

Oliver thought about it and raised the matter of mining to another priority ...

In the process of developing the program, he increasingly felt one of the big problems: that is, the population is too small.

There was a serious shortage of labor, only 50,000 people, which was really too few.

Although the factory now has a good degree of automation, but how there must be a small number of people to manage to do, but also excavators and other machinery is to be operated by someone. These numbers add up to a very large number.

For this kind of heavy industry, the best way is to study more advanced, more intelligent automated robots to replace manpower. There are already some labs working on these smart development projects, and Oliver just hopes they're making some good progress.

"Developing a lot of robots can replace human labor. However, there are still some jobs that there is no way to replace with robots ... These positions still have to be scheduled for talent."

Oliver is a little distracted by the thought of these positions.

For example: doctors, teachers, journalists, police officers, etc., these positions for a while, it is impossible to replace with robots, need to take up a lot of human resources.

And ah, the most annoying point, with the birth of a new baby, the workforce will be greatly reduced! Some women are already pregnant, this part of the workforce must be excluded, it is impossible to let them do heavy work, right?

After the birth, they will have to spend several years taking care of their children. This work is impossible to complete with robots, perhaps in the future can ... but now the human is not yet to that extent.

If we go by a 5% fertility rate, that's two and a half thousand children born a year! At least two and a half thousand women lose their labor force, so that's 5% of the labor force lost in one year, and after two or three years? The children must be at least three years old before they can go to kindergarten ...

Not only that, the number of doctors and nurses will have to be increased in order to welcome the large number of newborns, making sure that there are no medical incidents.

After the next few years, the number of teachers will have to be increased, starting from kindergarten, elementary school, secondary school, and all the way to university, which is necessary.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, the whole population will increase but the workforce that can really be utilized will gradually decrease.

This ...Oliver knocked heavily on the table and shook his head helplessly, the newborn is a must, but the social burden brought is also too heavy, he is really headache.

This is the painful period of population transition, Oliver frowned at the difficulty, these years or even these decades, must grit their teeth to survive, as long as they survive, a new batch of small children grow up, the population base will expand, the structure will gradually reasonable ...

"If only there were 100,000 or 200,000 people, ah, so that human resources will not be so embarrassed ..."

Oliver thought like this.

But soon, he scolded himself for being too greedy, although there are only 50,000 people now, but the comprehensive quality is rare in the world. If the population is large, all kinds of people, it may not be so well managed.

From the Moon all the way to Mars, the mental attitude as well as the action of the whole new human civilization is very satisfying to Oliver.

In various incidents, many people were able to actively save themselves, and even self-giving. It can be said that the overall quality of the whole civilization has been greatly improved in one crisis after another.

There is really no way to pick on the unity of the new human civilization as well as its work ethic. Although it has not yet reached the level where it can be integrated, but, Oliver is already very satisfied.

What's more, there are close to 30,000 top scientists on the entire Noah, and they are all genius level selected from all over the world, with an average IQ of 140 or more, which is really quite a lot. Everyone is smart, very good management.

What would be the result if you take the new human civilization and compare it to the once most powerful country - the United States?

The percentage of PhDs in the US is about less than 1% of the total population, and excluding the large number of PhDs in economics, emba PhDs, etc., the number of PhDs who are really capable of doing research is 0.6%, or two million people.

And these two million people, after they graduate, will be shunted out by various industries, they will choose to join Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and other large companies. And the real research work at the national level, probably not one in ten, only about 200,000 people.

The 30,000 scientists on board the Noah and the 200,000 scientists in the United States are at a quantitative disadvantage compared to each other, but they have an advantage in terms of quality. Because these 30,000 people are from the world's carefully selected elite, {including the United States itself} is a real one for ten existence ah!

Scientific research, always not the number of people to win, but the quality to win, 99% of the world's knowledge, are created by 1% of the people.

Although the Americans are cattle, but the cattle than the world's combined elite?

These 30,000 scientists are certainly higher in quality than the 200,000 people in the United States! And the remaining 20,000 people, although not scientists, are also top talents in all walks of life, and their abilities are really very, very high, and cannot be more discriminating.

So, the scientific research capability of the new human civilization is very strong, at least three-quarters of the level of the entire United States. Whether it's Professor Ding Yidong, or Dr. Felix, or Dr. Roman, or that geologist Diemo just now, they are all big names.

Many of them are national elites, not so, are not qualified to come to the moon.

There are other what chemists, biologists, physicists and so on, none of them are superb talents ... the entire Noah's scientific research capabilities absolutely strong unbeatable ah!

Oliver's heart moved, suddenly thought of something, in the current scientific community of Noah, vaguely there is such a statement: "Our new human civilization of science and technology, after the explosion of the Earth not only did not reduce, but to accelerate the development of the level of 10 years!"

Why? The main reason is still the integration of science and technology of various countries.

Although science has no national boundaries, scientists have nationalities. They can't share their country's confidential technology with people.

These 30,000 scientists are the best in their field, and many of them, having done high-end research for the country, have accumulated a large amount of experience and technology. But these secrets would never be exchanged with peers under normal circumstances.

But now, everything is different, the various countries have become a thing of the past, what secrets do not exist, scientific exchange is the most important.

So the Earth Alliance people 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 ... and of course the Americans, who contributed more of a variety of things... ...

Do not underestimate this exchange, these technologies were originally national level secrets, any one of them requires experience and time to accumulate a lot, without decades of research simply can not take down!

Just like the Earth Alliance's high-speed rail technology, other countries are very coveted, but even the most powerful country - the United States, but also have to study a twenty years to catch up. The manufacture of these things requires the accumulation of a large number of patents and there are no shortcuts.

But now, all the 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 Earth Alliance people have been studying engines for decades, and there are no particularly good results. Now the Americans directly took out all the data and gave it to the Earth Alliance people to learn for free.

Not only that, but the Maoists also took out their own country's results and grabbed them, shouting, "Look at mine! Look at mine!"

A difficult problem that is a headache for one country is often already solved in another country. This exchange has had a tremendous impact, and all scientists are learning tirelessly, bringing the overall scientific research capability up a notch.

It can be said that the new human civilization has inherited almost all of the top technologies on the entire planet. On the whole, the statement that it surpasses the technological level of any country by more than 10 years still has some truth ...

Thinking of this, Oliver slapped the table heavily. It's not enough just to communicate, but also to experiment and practice!

Then, give them enough resources, plenty of energy, a vast amount of industry, let their imagination to the maximum, so that the entire new human technology explodes again!

This was Oliver's personal idea, after all, he was trying to push the entire New Human civilization to extreme affluence within a few years ah.

Extreme affluence, for a star civilization, is just the first step.

Oliver picked up the whole plan and pondered over it a few more times, thinking it was basically close enough to implement.

He moved quickly, and the next step was the House of Representatives Parliament ...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference room was filled with all kinds of parliamentary members and the heads of various enterprises and major research institutes. They would be involved in the development of this plan as well as the deliberations.

"Everyone, my preliminary plan is like this, let's take a look at it first."

At the House meeting, Oliver sent the plan proposal to the computers of all the participants.

Many of them couldn't wait to look at the screen; they had read it several times beforehand, but each time they looked at it, they were blown away by the grand, huge plan.

"Let me start briefly by saying that there are three big goals. The first is to greatly strengthen the productivity of the Noah, both in heavy and light industry.

In order to reach this goal, we will prioritize the third industrial revolution, with major enterprises and research institutes serving industrial production as a priority. To this end, we will also establish new factories and new laboratories to achieve complete automation of industrial production!"

Complete automation means that industrial manufacturing is completely produced automatically by machinery, during which no human power is needed. Humans are only responsible for the design as well as the final monitoring work.

"Second, to improve people's living environment. In the most preliminary goal, we are going to open up a two hundred square kilometers of living space on the Noah and establish a preliminary ecological environment system. We want to create a living environment similar to that of Earth."

Hearing this news, Dr. Roman smiled with satisfaction. It was also fortunate that the great scientist did not hang up in the Martian virus.

Now hearing that the ecosystem project was finally mentioned in the motion, Roman felt quite satisfied and nodded slightly.

"Third, establish more public service facilities, schools, hospitals, libraries, gymnasiums, parks, etc.. As we all know, our new human civilization is about to welcome a new group of members. They deserve to receive good medical care as well as education, don't you all think so?"

Among the councilors at the bottom, there were also a few who were going to be parents, and when they heard this, they all laughed happily.

Then, Oliver went over the details, "Well do you all have any objections. If not, I'll talk about the specific plan arrangements below, and you can point out anything that's not right ..."

In the crowd's rowdy discussion, the program was implemented a little bit. There were many plans that had been proposed during the "Great Construction Project" a few months ago, but were rejected due to the limitations of the ship's resources.

But in this industrial revolution, such plans have become reality!

The "Kirov Industrial Factory", the "New Human Ore Refinery", and various large scale industrial laboratories, etc., all had very important tasks. These plans made the blood of those who sat down below incomparable, and many of them were so bloodthirsty that they even breathed heavily.

"First of all, set a small goal: to significantly increase industrial capacity to double the level of six months!" Oliver explained with a solemn head.

He was not kidding, double in six months, this is exponential growth! 1 year is 4 times, 2 years is 16 times, 3 years is 64 times! That's faster and faster growth!

"Double in six months, do you understand? We are going to move towards this goal!" Oliver said solemnly.

No one thought he was joking, but applauded enthusiastically. Many people had frenzied faces. If all the goals could be achieved, the new human civilization would surely produce a qualitative change!

In fact, this goal is still quite difficult, no, it is very difficult! But no one cares about this at all. Difficulties are for overcoming, the goal is to achieve, if a little difficulty is cowered, then there is still a fart industry, dry a egg engineering?

What's more, scientists, engineers simply do not cower ah, they want to challenge, want to really achieve these big projects, big goals!
