Population Explosion

As Venus's climate and crust began to stabilize, humanity finally entered the construction phase for surface infrastructure on Venus.

For a time, countless spacecraft traveled back and forth between Earth and Venus. Naturally, the vast majority of those spacecraft carried various kinds of machinery and engineering equipment.

After all, building infrastructure on Venus's surface was such an immense undertaking that it was impossible to transport everything needed from Earth.

If they did that, humanity's current space transportation capacity would never be able to meet the demand.

Therefore, most of the equipment, raw materials, and other necessities for Venus's infrastructure construction had to be mined, smelted, and manufactured locally on Venus.

The main purpose of the machinery and engineering equipment transported there was to mine Venus's various minerals, use them to smelt different metal and non-metal materials, and finally process the materials and components needed for infrastructure construction.

Naturally, with so many infrastructure projects on Venus, a great many companies and enterprises took part. These included not only state-owned enterprises originally controlled by various countries on Earth, but also the businesses and factories of Earth's former capital tycoons, as well as an enormous number of small and medium-sized enterprises. These companies began building all kinds of factories on Venus while also mining its various minerals.

Although Venus's environment was still extremely dangerous compared to Earth's, after all, earthquakes of varying magnitudes still occurred from time to time on its surface. Even in locations where those companies and factories had been established after being confirmed as relatively stable areas with a lower chance of earthquakes and other natural disasters, such disasters were not impossible.

For example, in recent times, major earthquakes had struck the sites of factories belonging to many large and small enterprises, causing severe losses. Fortunately, the Human Federation had
