Because of the existence of black light technology, the world is changing with each passing day.

Some experts indicate that the growth rate of human life span in the past two decades 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-

At 9:31 a.m. on July 23, 2040, the global population officially exceeded 10 billion, a full ten years faster than the predicted rate thirty years ago.

Thirty years ago, before the great company of Blacklight Technology was born, the Earth Federation used population growth data to roughly estimate a population growth period table:

Once in 1830, after the Industrial Revolution, the world’s productivity increased dramatically, and the world’s population reached 1 billion for the first time.

Subsequently, the speed of mankind began to skyrocket, and only a century later, that is, in 1930, the world's population officially exceeded the 2 billion mark.

After that, the population growth continued to rise. The population was 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1975, 5 billion in 1987, and 6 billion in 1999!

At the time of the statistics in this table, in 2011, the population had just reached an astonishing 7 billion.

While this table expresses the rapid population growth, it also warns of future population explosions and resource constraints. It is estimated that the world's population will increase by more than 1 billion in the next 15 years and will reach 8 billion by 2026.

Although this table of years also pointed out that ideas such as DINK, non-marriage, late marriage and late childbirth are bound to rise in the future, but after all, with the growing base, the population will continue to grow, and wait until 2050. 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 it reached the population explosion data ahead of schedule. On the contrary, the Earth Federation said that mankind has never been as hopeful as it is now.

The establishment of the permanent alien colony of Blacklight Technology, the Ares Science City on Mars, marked a shocking step for civilization. Since then, human beings have been promoted from planetary natives to interplanetary star species, and have completely entered the era of alien colonization.

Although today’s Ares Science City can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, four continents have also sent spacecraft to Mars. Four larger permanent colonies on Mars are under construction. There will be no more than ten years in the future, at least Tens of millions of people will officially immigrate to Mars.

This scene made many people faintly aware of the secret rivalry between the four continents and Blacklight Technology, but at least on the surface, the two sides still maintain goodwill and harmony.

Not only that, with the implementation of the human life escape plan, the average life span of humans has exceeded the one-hundred-year mark, and the increased life expectancy here is by no means old age, but adolescence and middle age.

These two periods have been greatly extended, which means that the problem of aging society is gradually alleviated. With the promotion of anti-aging reversal treatment programs, countless elderly people have turned into middle-aged people. According to this form, the population of 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 circumstance, many countries have begun to change their policies to extend the retirement date. Although there are some voices of opposition, in this general situation, unless you do not use the "health aging reversal treatment program" to increase your lifespan, you can only Follow the rules that have changed in this general situation.

"Because of the prospects and development of alien colonization technology, no country or continent in the world has 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, while Xiao X said, "Obviously, all countries and worlds are very optimistic about the migration of human beings to aliens."

"Of course."

Chen Chen nodded and chuckled, "After all, our Blacklight 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 that we need in the future. Wouldn't it be more exciting to jump three feet high?"

"However, although the Yueqian engine technology has obtained the drawings and materials, it is still being explored."

Xiao X followed Chen Chen's words and said, "It is estimated that in two or three months, the first jump engine can be manufactured, and then we will still need to produce the supporting spacecraft."

Chen Chen nodded when he heard the words, and thought thoughtfully, "It's time to build a space port that belongs to our black light technology. After all, the main footprint of human activities will be transferred to space in the future, and it is time to form our own interstellar fleet. ."

"But what should we do?"

Little X tilted his head and curiously said, "A space port that can manufacture outer spaceships is probably expensive. Although nuclear-powered engines can greatly reduce the cost of transporting materials into space, if you want to hurry up before the completion of the jump engine It’s probably not easy to build a huge space station, at least a thousand rockets need to be launched."

"stupid."

However, Chen Chen flicked Xiao X's forehead lightly, and laughed, "Do we need to send the space port to space a little bit? Isn't it enough to launch the black ball Gantz into space?"

Little X was holding her forehead. She was shrinking her head subconsciously, but after Chen Chen's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a good way! The black ball only needs electricity and Gantz satellite signals, and it can easily be at two o'clock. Between transfers, as long as a black ball is transported to space, we can continuously transport supplies up!"

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. According to the requirements on the engineering drawing, they secretly spent a few days to manufacture A rough mechanical platform came out.

This platform has hundreds of robotic arms, the longest one adopts a folding built-in robotic arm structure, the maximum operating distance can reach hundreds of meters, and it can bear a weight of thousands of kilograms, even the smallest robotic arm has two or three meters. Long, can withstand hundreds of kilograms of weight.

Strictly speaking, this mechanical platform is simply a fully automatic workshop with no function!

After folding this mechanical platform, it was able to fold itself into a giant cylinder with a diameter of 25 meters and a length of more than 50 meters. Then, the cylinder was installed in this long-prepared nuclear-powered rocket.

Then, there is no need to apply with the Earth Federation. Today's Blacklight Technology does indeed have the qualification to launch satellites alone. Blacklight Technology only informed the Earth Federation's geosynchronous orbit data and told itself to occupy this position, and then this rocket will Launched silently.

Half a day later, the mechanical platform in the rocket entered the geosynchronous orbit alone.

With the successful orbit, the fairing on the rocket was completely discarded, and the five brackets that clung to the inside of the rocket were also opened at a forty-five-degree angle at the tail of the rocket. From a distance, it looked like a throne held high and the whole machine. The platform is flooded with colorful signals.

If anyone sees it at this time, they will be shocked to discover-where is this satellite? This is the prototype of a huge space station!

This huge mechanical platform gradually stretched its body on the orbit. As the robotic arms slowly unfolded, it became more and more icy. It does not need solar panels at all, and the nuclear fusion reactor on the platform can support the number of satellites. A century of energy supply.

At this moment, most of the rocket parts on the mechanical platform began to slowly detach and fell towards the earth. The platform was suspended in the orbit, facing the ground far away, and in the center of the platform, a half-man was embedded on it. The large and small black spheres also gradually bloomed with icy blue light.

As we all know, it is very difficult to set up a space station in outer space. Even if the technology is reached, the transportation of materials is also a huge problem. It needs to be launched from the earth by rockets.

Although the advent of nuclear fusion thrusters has greatly reduced the cost of launching rockets, the time cost has not been reduced. It also requires multiple launches to transport materials. It takes more than several years to build a rocket in the open space. The qualified space station comes.

However, the emergence of the black ball Gantz perfectly solved this problem. Although the black ball transmission still requires a lot of power, it is indescribably affordable compared to the cost of launching.

At this time, as the black ball starts to transmit, the parts that have been prepared for a long time are transmitted to the mechanical platform, and the hundreds of mechanical arms immediately operate, as if building blocks, beginning to build 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 a small space station in the Earth Federation that can only inhabit a dozen people and cannot even reach the size of a villa. What he wants to build is a giant space dock. .

In the future, this space station will not only be able to berth hundreds of warships and resource transport ships, but will also be a space transportation port. Resources mined from the solar system do not have to be transported directly back to the earth. Instead, the resources are accumulated here, and then let Proprietary ship transported back.

In other words, this space station will be an unprecedented large space port for humans. Through this port, Blacklight Technology can naturally gain more voice and more benefits...

A space station that suddenly appeared naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Earth Federation. In particular, it was noticed that the space station suspended in a synchronous orbit over Namibia was rapidly getting bigger with each passing day, which shocked the upper level of the Earth Federation.

They couldn't understand how Chen Chen did it, so they tried to get news from Blacklight Technology, but only Chen Chen and Xiao X knew about this plan, and they were all in vain after they got busy.

That's it, but after three months, when time entered autumn, the space station had reached the size of a hill.

After three months of fully automated construction, the space station has taken shape. From the outside, it looks like an erected bow. At the same time, at the position of the bowstring, the five docking frames are horizontally there.

Four of the docking racks are empty. Only on the docking rack in the first row, a 30-meter-long, cigar-like spacecraft is mooring quietly, and each docking rack represents a seat. Berth.

Today's space port is only beginning to take shape, so it can only berth small spacecraft, and there are only five berths. If the space port designed by Xiao X is completely completed, it can berth more than the volume of Ares. A hundred times the size of a large spaceship.

At this time, as the last part was delivered to the space port, a black sphere with a diameter of one meter and surrounded by three metal rings appeared in the transport warehouse of the space port.

At the same time, there were five black knights in spacesuits.

With the remote control of Xiao X, the group of black knights carried the weird-shaped metal ball into the spacecraft moored in the port, and then there was a complicated installation and loading. When the metal ball was completely installed inside the spacecraft, a spacecraft equipped with a jump engine was finally completed.

That's right, the weird black sphere is the first space transition engine that Chen Chen has acquired based on the "Black Hole Surface" plane.

The next thing couldn't be simpler.

In the southern part of the Life Sciences City, in addition to the space base, a huge space observatory was already built a few years ago.

Here, rows of radio telescopes with an area of ​​more than thousands of square meters have been erected, and each of them is more than tens of thousands of square meters in size. They form a super array and look toward the sky in a unified manner.

And as time changes, these radio telescopes are slowly rotating like huge sunflowers.

These radio telescopes alone may not be as huge as the power and area of ​​FAST (Zhongzhou Sky Eye), but there are hundreds of radio telescopes gathered here, and their scale has exceeded FAST, reaching an unprecedented level.
