303. Development of civilization (Part 1)
While Tang Xiao is eagerly learning the vast knowledge of Das-Pregas, Fourth Civilization is also developing rapidly.
Dawn Star Planet, whose population has soared to 2 million, is expanding rapidly and has once again formed 5 cities. If some Ewok settlements and small industrial and agricultural towns are added, the total number of administrative residential areas at all levels in Dawn Star Planet has now reached 40.
The administrative divisions of the planet are becoming more and more detailed, and a large number of middle and lower-level management positions have been subdivided to conduct detailed management of each city.
The previously established Early Dew City, Winter City, Gumi City and Truth City were divided into Ursus Region, and the Dawn City North Extension The five large cities on display - Silver Ash City, Cliffheart City, Pramanix City, Matterhorn City, and Courier City - are classified as Kjerag Region. The two regions have established regional administrative agencies to conduct relatively macro-level management of urban development and planning within the regions.
Among the newly established Kjerag Region, Matterhorn City stands on the mountain and is an industrial city, while Courier City is another Ewok settlement. The city, and Silver Ash City was built near a high latitude area with a relatively cold climate, but the terrain is flat and suitable for people to live in. A gem mine was even discovered, and it should be a very prosperous city in the future.
(Ahem, um, haha...)
In terms of population expansion, the social adoption policy is being widely implemented. Every resident has adopted at least one Cryo-embryo, and now these embryos have grown to teenagers. It is expected that in another two years, these embryos will enter adulthood, their rapid growth period will end, and then they will officially enter the society.
Coupled with the knowledge instillation while sleeping, although these teenagers are still a bit rigid in general, their IQ has reached a certain standard.
This is the benefit of socialized upbringing, which allows these Cryo-embryo to apply the instilled knowledge in life. Only in this way can a real person be born, not an existence similar to a robot.
However, this population growth rate is still too slow, especially now that Fourth Civilization and Agriculture Department have basically solved the food problem.
Therefore, under the instruction of Tang Xiao, Chief Executive Officer Daphne-Clement is preparing to conduct a pilot project. She designated a large area west of Dawn City and named it Rhine Lab Zone. There is currently only one city in this area called Saria City.
Among Saria City, there are 500,000 Cryo-embryo, and their daily lives are taken care of by robots. The daily activity of these embryos is to go to a large school to receive instruction from human teachers. This city is only equipped with 5,000 human personnel, which greatly saves the current precious manpower.
If Saria City's model can be successful, then Rhine Lab Zone will continue to build more cities using this model, thereby accelerating population growth faster.
Fourth Civilization Agriculture Department Nowadays, agricultural centralized technology has been adopted on a large scale, and genetically modified technology has been widely used, compressing the maturity cycle of some major crops to 2 months. Not only that, in major concentrated agricultural areas, climate and ecological simulation technologies are used to give these crops the most suitable growing environment and improve crop yield and quality.
In the latest quarter, the total crop output of Dawn Star Planet has exceeded 500 million tons. You must know that this is only a quarter! So now the grain produced by Dawn Star Planet can not only meet its own needs, but also have a large amount of material reserves, and can even be exported.
On the one hand, the exported grain is used by Claire-Underwood as working capital for Outer Rim Territories Mutual Aid Fund in exchange for political influence; on the other hand, it is provided to Cerea in the civil war, further increasing their dependence on Dawn Star Planet.
In order to comprehensively coordinate foreign trade, Fourth Civilization has established an independent foreign trade company. This company will further unbundle Fourth Civilization and Fourth Group, allowing Fourth Group to move more freely in the future. At the same time, the foreign trade company will also make detailed planning and investment in Fourth Civilization's foreign trade activities.
At present, Fourth Civilization's research and development work on large warships is basically at a standstill. Several large warship projects currently being developed are actually cooperating with other forces.
For example, Revelation-class light cruiser was jointly developed by Hiigaran Aerospace Company and Semirians, and Hiigaran-class battlecruiser was jointly developed by them and Trade Federation and Technological Alliance.
But in fact, it is also because of this series of clever diplomatic strategies that Fourth Civilization has mastered the technology in "Homeworld" most of the time, allowing Chi Jianjun's scientific research team to focus more on analyzing the technology tree of "Sins of a Solar Empire".
The focus is on the research and development of antimatter energy. At the large physics experiment space station in outer space orbit, a prototype antimatter engine has been completed, and more experiments are now underway. The current plan is to actually field the antimatter engine within a year.
And recently Fourth Civilization has another large-scale project - a planetary supercomputer!
It is said to be planetary, but this supercomputer is installed on a large space station. It is claimed to be a storage space station, but it is actually the Group One super quantum computer array. Once this supercomputer is completed, it will greatly improve the computing capabilities of Dawn Star Planet in all aspects.
Many previous scientific research relied on Mainframe of Glory mothership. At present, the efficiency is not ideal, and Fourth Civilization requires more than just a supercomputer.
And scientists will also conduct a preliminary analysis of Mainframe on Glory mothership. In fact, the technology of Mainframe is also included in the database. This is a neural network computer with a human being as its core. This computer can retain a certain degree of humanity while possessing the computing power of a supercomputer. Compared with a quantum computer, it is actually a choice between more humanity and faster calculations.
In the long-term planning, this kind of neural network supercomputer can be programmed into management AI to specifically assist the management affairs of various industries. Because there are some elements of human nature, management in this area will be more appropriate.
In contrast, quantum computers are more suitable for scientific calculations.
And now the global energy network on Dawn Star Planet has been initially constructed, and the technology to achieve remote wireless power transmission through force field constraints has also been completed. In this way, the energy network of the entire planet can be used in any corner of Dawn Star Planet.
