Chapter 763: Investment and Return of Capital
This time's maintenance is just a minor maintenance, and the expected downtime is not long. It takes almost two months to complete the task. Taking advantage of this long holiday, a large number of staff on the planet "Jiuzhou" began to move and rotate.
The older staff have stayed here for a long time, and they also want to return to their home planet of Shanhai. For them, Shanhaihao is their true hometown, with familiar classmates, relatives they can rely on, the most advanced scientific research sites, and the most suitable humanistic environment for research...
Yes, the human environment is important. The environment of Shanhai is both serious and leisurely. People dare to question, challenge authority, and innovate.
Jiuzhou Hao is just a workplace. Driven by the private ownership economy, many industries always seem a bit utilitarian... This is inevitable.
A large number of tourists from Shanhai will also take advantage of this holiday to go to the planet Kyushu for a series of tours. This can be regarded as a very popular tourism culture. Being able to meet aliens face to face on this planet and experience the prosperous market is a pleasure that only comes once a decade.
"Huh, I've come to this planet again. It's already so prosperous. The last time I came here, there weren't those work areas..." When she just stepped off the spacecraft, Lin Xuanxuan was like a child, seeing I was shocked and excited when I saw something.
In fact, the infrastructure of the two planets was not much different, but she still felt a bit dreamy.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Do you know what I want to do most now?"
"I guess you want to take a look and see how those pangolins are living? Are there any results?"
"Hey, you guessed it right. I also have a foundation here that sponsors pangolin tourism."
Zhang Yuan laughed heartily, and he accompanied Lin Xuanxuan to also participate in such travel activities. I don't know why, but Zhang Yuan is very concerned about the lives of these pangolins. Maybe it's because these pangolins are the first alien species that humans have encountered, so they always have a special feeling.
In fact, Zhang Yuan's work is quite busy, and his real vacation is only one week. For a large period of time, he has to hold meetings on the Kyushu to discuss how to develop next. Now that the ready-made technological dividends are almost exhausted, everyone still has to sit down and think of a solution...
While chatting, they took a high-speed train to the tallest and most luxurious centrifugal wheel, and the surrounding discussion was very lively.
For many new human citizens, there are too many interesting things on the Kyushu, such as the Metal Garbage City, where treasures still exist. Some young people will come here and bury their childhood toys or some scrapped mechanical products for the next generation to dig up.
Some children will come here to pick up trash, and sometimes they can even pick up usable game consoles! For them, game consoles are definitely a luxury product.
This is another new culture...
There is also a bustling interstellar trade market, various aliens, a more relaxed game environment... there are so many fun things.
Of course, in addition to playing, there is also a part of the population, at least more than 20 million people, who come here to look for work.
There are not many permanent citizens living here. Most of the facilities are military facilities and are strictly kept secret.
The working population of most public enterprises is all mobile and rotates every ten years. In fact, the population flow in private enterprises is quite high. Except for a small number of business leaders who have to stay here for a long time for their careers, many ordinary employees want to return to Shanhaihao after working for a few years and developing certain abilities. Already working.
Over time, the Kyushu gradually turned into a frontline talent training base. Some originally unemployed people developed their working abilities in this hodgepodge, and then returned to the Shanhai to serve the entire society. At the same time, a large number of new people have come here to develop their work abilities, forming a very good virtuous cycle.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "...So, from an economic and security perspective, the more battle stars a civilization has, the better. There are too many battle stars and the population is scattered, which is prone to various problems. Just like In some vassal states in ancient dynasties, when information was not smooth and the population gathered in large numbers, it was easy for the princes to form separate regimes..."
"The same is true in the interstellar age. In the state of super-light navigation, information communication is not smooth and the flow of the population is almost stagnant. If the population is divided into 50 and 50, there will still be problems."
Of the two current battle stars, Shanhai has a large population and is a center for scientific research, industry, and education. Kyushu is mainly used for foreign trade and military purposes, and can be considered a very reasonable equipment.
If there were one more battle star, it would actually only be used for military purposes, and a maintenance population of at least tens of millions would have to be allocated, which seemed a bit uneconomical.
The new human civilization has no plans to significantly expand its population for a while.
Expanding the population can indeed increase productivity and military strength, but it can also reduce the intelligence of social groups to a certain extent, which is a double-edged sword.
The speed of the train slowly slowed down. Zhang Yuan was no stranger to this place, so he directly acted as a tour guide: "In front of you is the Interstellar Trade City. I don't know if it has changed after so many years... People in the past two months have Traffic may surge!"
"The current population of Jiuzhou Battle Star is approximately 29 million, with two million professional soldiers, four million engineering development teams, and the rest are staff of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises."
Lin Xuanxuan asked: "Where are the people from the hemisphere?"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "They also have a population of more than 10 million living here, including about 400,000 soldiers. We allow these soldiers to move in. There are also some cooperative factories here... In fact, this The battle star is still quite empty, with only one-tenth of it being used. The population will increase in the future, and we are considering whether to cultivate more subsidiary civilizations."
"Our affiliated civilization...how many Gliese people are there?"
"The total number is 120,000, but the population is still a little small... Hehe, I heard that a Gliese mathematician named Kadofu has recently made very good results. He is highly regarded in the industry."
Lin Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Really? If you think about it this way, wouldn't our investment be paid back?"
"I've paid back my money a long time ago! I'm still very optimistic about this civilization."
The Gliese civilization is indeed a civilization that highly advocates spiritual pursuits. Under the influence of some wise men, a more superior life did not deflect their overall thinking.
To give a simple example, in the metal garbage city, there is a group of Gliese pangolins who specialize in picking up garbage. They do not have much professional knowledge and technical skills and can only make a living by picking up parts.
In this exchange meeting, many humans and people from the hemisphere will bury their childhood toys for the next generation to find. If these pangolins, who are professional garbage collectors, pick up these toys and then sell them, they can easily make a profit.
But due to various reasons, whether it is internal racial control or natural romantic sentiment, they have not done this. Instead, they will give up this area in the future and choose to give priority to children.
The metal garbage city, where people deliberately bury treasures, is a place to cultivate the spirit of exploration in children. These Gliese people can know this and restrain themselves from deliberately destroying this excellent culture of the entire alliance. This is a very rare thing, because they are not rich, unlike hemispheric civilizations and humans, who have a lot of money. They need an economy.
Zhang Yuan commented: "A race that knows how to restrain itself will have good future development even if its innate race value is a little worse."
