Because of the existence of black light technology, the world is changing rapidly every day.
Some experts have stated that the growth rate of human life span in the past twenty years is more than a hundred times that after the industrial revolution. However, just today, the official website of the Earth Federation suddenly announced a shocking news -
On July 23, 2040, at 9:31 a.m., the global population officially exceeded 10 billion, a full decade faster than predicted thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago, before the great company Blacklight Technology was born, the Earth Federation roughly estimated a population growth schedule based on population growth data:
Once in 1830, that is, after the emergence of the Industrial Revolution, the world's productivity increased significantly, and the world's population reached 1 billion for the first time.
Then, the speed of mankind began to skyrocket. Just a century later, in 1930, the world's population officially exceeded the 2 billion mark.
After that, the population growth continued to rise, reaching 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1975, 5 billion in 1987, and 6 billion in 1999!
When this table was compiled, in 2011, the population had just reached an astonishing 7 billion.
While this table expresses the rapid growth of population, it also warns of future population explosion and resource constraints. It is expected that the world's population will increase by more than 1 billion in the next 15 years, reaching 8 billion by 2026.
Although this timetable also points out that ideas such as DINK, non-marriageism, late marriage and late childbearing are bound to rise one after another in the future, after all, with the base getting larger and larger, the population will still continue to grow, until about 2050. In the time before and after, the world's population will officially exceed the 10 billion mark.
However, although this table anticipated the evolution of human cultural forms, it did not anticipate the rise of black light technology.
However, the Earth Federation did not become pessimistic because of the data of a population explosion ahead of schedule. On the contrary, the Earth Federation stated that mankind has never been more hopeful than it is now.
The establishment of Mars Ares Science City, a permanent alien colony organized by Blacklight Technology, marked a shocking step for civilization. From then on, human beings were promoted from planetary natives to interplanetary species, and completely entered the era of alien colonization.
Although the current Ares Science City can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of residents, four continents have also sent spacecraft to Mars, and four larger permanent colonies on Mars are under construction. In the next ten years, at least Tens of millions of people will officially immigrate to Mars.
This scene made many people vaguely aware of the secret competition between the Four Continents and Blacklight Technology, but at least on the surface, the two sides still maintained goodwill and harmony.
Not only that, with the implementation of the Human Life Escape Plan, the average human life span has exceeded one hundred years. The increased life span here is by no means old age, but youth and middle age.
These two periods have been greatly extended, which means that the problem of social aging is gradually alleviated. Driven by anti-aging reversal treatment projects, countless elderly people have transformed into middle-aged people. According to this form, the population specified by the Earth Federation The middle-aged age group has also increased from 40 to 60 years old to 40 to 80 years old.
Under this situation, many countries have begun to change their policies to extend the retirement date. Although there have been some objections, under this general situation, unless you do not use the "Healthy Aging Reversal Treatment Project" to increase your lifespan, you can only Follow the changing rules of this situation.
"Because of the prospects and development of alien colonization technology, no country or continent in the world has yet issued an order to restrict population."
At this time, Chen Chen was sitting in the office, silently watching the population announcement issued by the Earth Federation. At the same time, Little
"Of course."
Chen Chen nodded and chuckled, "After all, our Black Light Technology has paved the way for them in advance. Of course they are not willing to limit their population. If they know, we have even prepared the jump engine technology they need in the future. If so, wouldn’t it make me jump three feet high with excitement?”
"However, although the jump engine technology has obtained the drawings and information, it is still being explored."
Little
Chen Chen nodded when he heard this and said thoughtfully, "It's time to build a space port belonging to our black light technology. After all, the main footprint of human activities will be transferred to space in the future, and it's time for us to form our own interstellar fleet." .”
"But what should we do?"
Little Building a huge space station is probably not an easy task and requires at least a thousand rocket launches."
"fool."
However, Chen Chen flicked Little
Little By teleporting between places, as long as we transport a black ball into space, we can continuously transport supplies up there!"
So, just do it, and soon a nuclear-powered rocket has been arranged in the space base. At the same time, the engineers here also received a secret engineering drawing. They followed the requirements on the engineering drawing and secretly spent several days to manufacture it. A set of rough mechanical platforms was produced.
This platform has hundreds of robotic arms. The longest one adopts a folding embedded robotic arm structure. The maximum operating distance can reach hundreds of meters and can bear a weight of thousands of kilograms. Even the smallest robotic arm is two or three meters long. Long, can bear hundreds of kilograms of weight.
Strictly speaking, this mechanical platform is simply a fully automatic workshop that has no function!
After folding, this mechanical platform was able to fold itself into a giant cylinder with a diameter of 25 meters and a length of more than 50 meters. Immediately, the cylinder was loaded into the nuclear-powered rocket that had been prepared for a long time.
Then, there is no need to apply with the Earth Federation. Today's Blacklight Technology does have its own qualifications to launch satellites. Blacklight Technology only informed the Earth Federation of the geosynchronous orbit data and informed itself that it wanted to occupy this position, and then the rocket It was launched silently.
Half a day later, the mechanical platform in the rocket entered geosynchronous orbit alone.
With the successful entry into orbit, the fairing on the rocket was completely discarded, and the five brackets close to the inside of the rocket were also opened at a 45-degree angle at the rear of the rocket. From a distance, it looked like a raised throne. The entire machine The platform was filled with colorful signal lights.
If anyone sees it at this time, they will be shocked to find that this is not a satellite, but a prototype of a huge space station!
This huge mechanical platform gradually stretches its body in orbit. As the mechanical arms slowly unfold, it becomes more and more cold and ferocious. It does not need solar panels at all. The nuclear fusion reactor on the platform can support satellite data. Hundreds of years of energy supply.
At this moment, most of the rocket parts on the mechanical platform began to slowly detach and fall towards the earth. The platform was suspended in the orbit, far away from the ground, and in the center of the platform, a half-human body was embedded in it. The large and small black spheres also gradually bloomed with cold blue light.
As we all know, it is very difficult to build a space station in outer space. Even if the technology is achieved, the transportation of materials is still a huge problem, and it needs to be launched from the earth through rockets.
Although the cost of launching rockets has been greatly reduced due to the emergence of nuclear fusion thrusters, the time cost has not been reduced. It also requires multiple launches to transport materials, which takes more than several years to build a rocket in the vast expanse of outer space. Qualified space station comes.
However, the emergence of black ball Gantz has perfectly solved this problem. Although black ball transmission still requires a large amount of electricity, compared with the cost of launch, it is already indescribably affordable.
At this time, as the black ball started to transmit, the parts that had been prepared long ago were transmitted to the mechanical platform. The hundreds of mechanical arms immediately operated, as if building blocks, and began to build it bit by bit. The prototype of the space station.
Chen Chen has ambitions. The first space station he wants to build is by no means the existing small space station in the Earth Federation that can only accommodate a dozen people and cannot even reach the size of a villa. What he wants to build is a giant space terminal. .
In the future, this space station will not only be able to park hundreds of warships and resource transport ships, but will also be a space transport port. The resources mined from the solar system do not have to be transported directly back to the earth. Instead, the resources will be accumulated here and then let Proprietary spaceship to transport back.
In other words, this space station will be a large-scale space port unprecedented for mankind. Through this port, Blacklight Technology will naturally gain more voice and more benefits...
The sudden appearance of a space station naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Earth Federation. Especially when they noticed that the space station suspended in synchronous orbit over Namibia grew rapidly as the day passed, it shocked the Earth Federation's senior officials.
They couldn't understand how Chen Chen did it, so they tried to get information from Blacklight Technology. However, only Chen Chen and Xiao X knew about this plan. All their efforts were in vain.
Just like that, only three months had passed, and when time entered autumn, the space station had already reached the size of a small mountain.
At this time, after three months of fully automatic construction, the space station has begun to take shape. From the outside, it looks like an erect bow. At the same time, at the position of the bow string, five docking frames are placed horizontally.
Four of the docking racks are empty. Only on the docking rack in the first row, a thirty-meter-long, cigar-like spaceship is parked quietly, and each docking rack represents a seat. berth.
Today's space port is just beginning to take shape, so it can only accommodate small spacecraft, and there are only five berths. If the space port designed by Xiao A hundred times the size of a large spaceship.
At this time, as the last component was delivered to the space port, a black ball with a diameter of one meter and surrounded by three metal rings appeared in the transmission warehouse of the space port.
Also arriving at the same time were five black knights wearing space suits.
With the remote control of Little When inside the spacecraft, a spacecraft equipped with a jump engine was finally completed.
That's right, that strange-looking black ball was the first space jump engine Chen Chen tried to make based on the jump engine technology obtained from the "Black Hole Surface" plane.
The appearance of this jump engine is exactly the same as in the movie. It is completely composed of three concentric circles on the surface, and inside is a black metal ball. Each of the three concentric circles rotates at different angles, turning the ball Surrounding the center, it’s like a dream.
What happens next couldn't be simpler.
In the south of Life Sciences City, in addition to the space base, a huge space observatory was built a few years ago.
Here, rows of radio telescopes with an area of more than thousands of square meters have been set up, each with a size of more than tens of thousands of square meters. They form a super array and look into the sky uniformly.
And as time changes, these radio telescopes are like huge sunflowers, slowly rotating.
These radio telescopes alone may not be as huge as the power and area of FAST (Zhongzhou Sky Eye), but with hundreds of radio telescopes gathered together, the scale has exceeded FAST and reached an unprecedented level.
At this time, hundreds of scientists are busy like ants in the world's largest space observatory.
Their target was the space port that had just launched recently, or rather, the somewhat crude small spaceship on the space port.
"The Courageous Assault is preparing to leave the port..."
"Docking Device No. 1 released!"
"Docking No. 1 released..."
"Start the engine and start to leave the port..."
"The current situation is good, the Courageous Assault is starting to accelerate!"
In the hall of the observatory, as orders were issued one after another, the jump ship gradually left the space port and flew towards the depths of the universe.
There, the Courageous Assault will launch the first jump experiment in human history!
