Chapter 592 Population surge
Since the astronomical torch was lit, the empire has ushered in a period of great exploration.
Under the exploration of the Imperial Navy day and night, the entire dark area gradually lifted the veil of mystery.
One star system after another has been ascertained, and one habitable planet after another has been discovered.
A large number of mining strongholds and imperial outposts have sprung up all over the dark field like mushrooms after rain.
The development of the new planet Terra has not fallen behind.
With the implementation of the artificial human policy, the empire ushered in an era of population explosion.
On the surface of the new Terra star, cities have sprung up.
And spread outward with the population explosion.
Soon, in less than ten years, a large number of cities have been connected as one.
According to the requirements of the "King", in order to avoid the destruction of the planet's natural environment due to population pressure.
The empire has three tiers for habitable planets.
They are barren, fertile and fertile.
Barren planets refer to planets that are not suitable for human habitation, such as desert planets, swamp planets, and ice planets.
Its population is capped at 20 billion.
The upper limit of the population of fertile soil-level habitable planets is 50 billion.
The population limit of a rich-level habitable planet is 100 billion.
It can be reduced within a certain range according to the size of the planet, and the upper and lower limits of population can be increased.
Restricting the population can not only ensure that the people of the empire have a suitable living environment.
It can also promote the colonization of the empire.
Imperial Senate, in the Senate Chamber.
In the morning, in the council room, the seven elders gathered together for a daily meeting.
"It's been almost ten years. The king hasn't woken up yet. Did something happen? Just like Ark 1..."
For more than ten years, the Imperial Navy has been searching for Ark 1 without finding anything.
Ark 1 just disappeared mysteriously.
As for the "king", since the astronomical torch was lit, the "king" disappeared.
They thought that "Wang" would appear again in a few years like last time.
But this time seems to be different from the last time.
Everyone had different expressions on Gavin Matthew's words.
Only Marianne looked calm.
The strength of the fighting nuns is still there, which means that the "King" is fine, just sleeping.
Only ten years, and Marianne didn't think that long.
Even if she sleeps for another ten years, Marianne will not be as urgent as the other elders.
After thinking about it, Marianne decided to appease everyone.
"About the "King", you adults don't need to worry, the "King" will wake up when it's time to wake up."
Sure enough, when Marianne said this, everyone felt a lot more at ease.
Regarding the topic of "King", everyone stopped in tacit understanding.
Looking around at everyone, Charles said in a deep voice: "Using time gaps in recent years, the population of the empire has increased dramatically. So far, it has exceeded 20 billion. Most of them are artificial humans. Only more than 2 million people were born naturally. Although the population demand It was satisfied, but it also caused some other problems. You should know that artificial humans have no parents. They will leave the artificial womb when they are seven years old, and enter the Imperial College to grow up. Perhaps because of the environment in which they grow, many adult The artificial human in the future has no family concept, and their desire for reproduction is extremely low. Among the newborn babies, the proportion of artificial human offspring is extremely low. This situation must be changed, otherwise, the artificial human policy will have to be cancelled.
Although this is a matter for the Executive Yuan, it concerns the future of the empire, and no one dares to be careless.
They also felt the issue of artificial human fertility.
How should I put it, there is no difference between artificial humans and naturally born humans.
It's just that compared with natural born humans, the first half of life of artificial humans is planned.
After the age of seven, they will enter the Imperial College for systematic study.
After becoming an adult, the college will assign him a job and give him a living allowance.
If you don't like the job assigned by the college, you can also resign and find a way out by yourself.
After entering society, artificial humans will have a free body.
They are free to fall in love, form families, and reproduce.
But the performance of artificial humans after entering society is worrying.
Perhaps it is because I have been used to the planned days of life since I was a child.
For the work assigned by the academy, the artificial man is very dedicated.
The resignation rate is less than 0.01%.
They are workaholics, dedicated to their posts.
Of the more than one billion artificial humans who are married, less than 4000 million have started families.
Families with offspring are even more pitiful.
After thinking for a while, Ralph said: "Then let the Executive Yuan intervene to raise the ideological awareness of artificial people to form a family and breed offspring. If necessary, we can formulate some policies and let them know that starting a family and breeding offspring is important. It is also to be loyal to the empire again."
Rowell nodded and said: "This idea is good, it is feasible!"
Others have no opinion.
This is a matter for the Executive Yuan. They can make suggestions, but how to do it is Charles' own business.
In just ten years, more than 20 billion people.
It wouldn't be possible without a time gap.
But artificial human technology is not perfect.
No matter how perfect artificial human technology is, it cannot be compared with naturally born humans.
Because nature has an adaptive human body adjustment ability.
The genes of babies born naturally will not be fixed, but will mutate randomly.
It could be good, it could be bad.
But the chances of getting better are greater.
Although artificial human genes have been artificially adjusted, they seem to be perfect.
But it lacks the ability to self-evolve.
Speaking of this, Ralph said again: "We have been sticking to New Terra these years and have not colonized outside. Although this is the order of the "king", it is still unknown when the "king" will wake up. , Therefore, we can’t wait forever, we must adapt to the situation. I suggest small-scale colonization and occupy some habitable planets that are easy to occupy. Over the years, the Imperial Navy has been fully developed, and we have enough ability to launch a small-scale interstellar war. war."
Rowell objected to Ralph's suggestion.
"I think it's better to be cautious. The dark area is not peaceful, and there are two major threats, the Omnic Legion and the Orcs. Although in the last war, the Omnics and the Orks suffered heavy losses, they are still not What the empire can conquer, once it colonizes abroad prematurely, it is likely to attract the attention of the omnic legion and the Ork barbarians."
As Navigator ambassadors, there are Navigators on every ship of the Empire.
In terms of understanding of the dark domain, Rowell is no worse than Ralph.
Although it was not the right time for the "King" to fall asleep, the Astro Torch did need to be lit.
It is because of the Astronomical Torch that the empire has been able to speed up its exploration of the dark realm over the years.
It is not without reason why the "King" wants the Imperial Senate to stick to Xintera.
Terra star is very big, and it can develop for many years.
There is no need for large-scale outward colonization at this time.
Because this is easy to be discovered by the omnic legion and Orc barbarians.
Once conquered by the Omnic Legion, the Orcs knew of the existence of the Empire of Terra.
At that time, the situation of Xintera will be very dangerous.
Gavin also added: "Let's wait a little longer!"
At the same time, the new Terra star orbits and colonizes the satellite.
Since the New Empire migrated to New Terra, the imperial people in the colonial satellites were gradually moved to New Terra.
