CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 207: FURTHER PLANS (PART 2)

But now globalization has already begun.

The biggest impact is that the air has improved.

Of course, there is also the impact of environmental energy sources like Z1, allowing everyone to see the stars in the night sky.

Even on winter mornings, there’s no smog anymore.

Nearly twenty years of extraordinary development has revitalized reality.

Additionally, with the help of beneficial medicine and elixir, average life expectancy has increased by more than thirty years.

Then the problem arose.

The population of Great Xia has grown a bit too large, resulting in many people migrating abroad.

The majority of them are working men.

No matter whether Great Xia will eventually dominate the world or not.

In the past, global deaths numbered over fifty-five million people per year.

But now, under the unification and improved systems of the Federation, the number of deaths has been greatly reduced.

This results in only a million deaths per year.

Finally, after nearly twenty years, excluding the early years of imperfection.

The current global population is nearly 8.5 billion.

The widespread planting of Z1 and herbs over ten years has also occupied vast areas of land.

So regarding population and resources such as food and medicine, the planning department predicts that even with advanced technology and superconductive concepts in skyscrapers now,

when the global population reaches 10 billion, there will still be some resource ’scarcity’.

By then, to ensure the supply of medicinal herbs and beneficial spirit stones, urban agriculture will need to be integrated.

It’s very likely that in a hundred-meter-tall building, half of the floors will be filled with Z1 and medicinal herbs.

In cities, you might also see ’floating gardens’ hovering in the air everywhere.

Of course, this is all to ensure the advancement of national cultivation and benefits for the people, resulting in this abstract scenario.

It is also an innovative attempt to redistribute resources.

But if we give up everything and revert to the old ways, it doesn’t matter much.

However, reducing benefits for the people would also create a sort of ’energy and medicinal capital’.

These plans have their pros and cons; there is no absolute perfection.

Even platforms that can accommodate a lot of people and things can’t be constructed yet because superconductors aren’t universally available.

Currently, superconductors are in short supply, as medicine, military, research, and more all demand them with unlimited need.

Flying cars are not yet mass-produced, with only ten thousand units released each month to alleviate daily traffic pressure.

Additionally, roadside shops are built to ease traffic.

In any case, they are needed everywhere.

Orders from superconductor manufacturing plants have stretched to twenty-nine years later.

All industries are in line.

Research keeps jumping the line, followed by ’second-in-line’ medicine.

The first two sectors have unconditional priority due to their need for superconductors.

The ’three-dimensional transport’ construction is next in line.

Regarding other important sectors, allocation is based on their importance.

For example, virtual world games and related ecosystems allow those superagents to wait gradually.

In this situation where all sectors need superconductors to upgrade,

mechanical platforms have been repeatedly postponed.

Building such a ’superconductor monster’ city foundation alone requires more than a decade’s worth of global superconductor production.

This also makes everyone hesitant to start construction.

After all, the cost of the city foundation alone would delay superconductor progress across all sectors by decades.

Especially with the continued construction of mechanical platforms, superconductor upgrades in all fields would pretty much halt.

In response to this.

Zhang Feng, after reviewing information reports in the bedroom, found another solution to alleviate population resources.

It is the ’Moon Immigration Plan’.

Very interesting, forming a complete contrast with Chen Tiancai’s superconductor world.

Chen Tiancai advocates no immigration, first building mechanical platforms to alleviate population pressure and increase computing power and energy.

But now, I am taking the approach of alleviating population pressure through immigration, allowing for more herb planting on available land.

Especially with regards to this immigration plan.

Zhang Feng took a closer look at it as well.

It also has some drawbacks.

Firstly, computing power must be allocated to calculate the principles of something like an ’alien survival dome’ protective shield.

In essence, it’s a large dome covering a vast expanse of lunar land with people living inside.

Similar to the earliest alien civilization monster trials.

They used a ’strange dome’ to divide tens of miles of office building space into a civilized trial ground.

Nowadays, Earth is actually equipped with foundational technology for researching ’protective shields’ with allocated computing power.

It’s just that Earth isn’t as developed as extraterrestrial civilizations, relying more on runes and energy devices to form a ’dome’.

Unlike them, who drop a single dome with no visible energy devices, yet possess exceptionally stable characteristics.

In Zhang Feng’s view today.

The reason their dome is stable probably lies in the transparent dome surface, which already incorporates energy absorption devices.

Or beneath the dome, embedded in the ground, there are some sort of energy absorption instruments.

Regardless of the method, the Federation could take a simpler, rougher approach by building a dome with superconductors and integrating Z1.

After synthesis, superconductors naturally possess a light silver color.

A shiny silver dome on the moon seems quite aesthetically pleasing.

Because it’s practical, and practicality is beauty.

Of course, building such a platform first requires a considerable amount of superconductors and a ship capable of carrying a significant number of ’interstellar spacecraft’ or ’interstellar ecological touring vehicles’.
