Chapter 446 50-Year Development Plan
"Friends and comrades, Happy New Year to everyone!"
Lu Yuan was wearing ordinary civilian clothes and sitting at his desk.
It was just like an ordinary conversation with friends.
But everyone knows that this conversation involves a lot and is related to the future.
Soon, the crowd of all kinds of braggarts fell silent and stared at the big screen.
There were also students celebrating the party on the playground, who also looked at the screen on the playground.
"Now in the Ninth Era, the 155th Spring Festival, sometimes I feel that the passage of time is really like a dream. In the blink of an eye and when I close my eyes, it slips away in such a hurry."
"Soon, we will be celebrating our 156th year."
"Watching generations of people grow up and seeing cities slowly becoming prosperous, I always feel a subtle sense of accomplishment. This is the civilization we have built from scratch."
"It's been a long time since I've talked to you about matters related to the development of civilization..."
Lu Yuan said affectionately in front of the big screen: "We have become a second-level civilization for a long, long time."
"We have already picked the fruits that are easy to pick, and the fruits that cannot be picked are hanging on high branches, making us look up. But they are not out of reach, or we can think of a way to jump up. You can pick it up..."
His voice became louder: "It's time to move towards level three civilization!"
"We need to spend fifty years to build the 18th civilization of mankind, the Green City, into a level three civilization!"
"The reason why the development habitat was chosen here is because the fissure in front is rich in resources. I believe everyone has felt this. The recent improvement in living standards is due to the resources in the fissure."
"There is also our friendly ally ahead, the Underground Alliance. Exchanges and collisions of ideas are always valuable. If there are three of us, there will always be a teacher. A humble attitude is always the first step to acquire knowledge."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath: "I will describe the specific details of the "Fifty-Year Development Plan" below..."
Following his speech, many people in the city fell into deep thought.
Even the rat-man craftsmen were drinking and blushing in the bar, listening to the crowd's chatter.
What else is lacking in humanity?
Actually... there are still a lot of them.
The most intuitive point: the foundation is unstable!
There are really too many civilization relics that humans have picked up, such as Luyin, Meida, Yuanhuo, Nanyu, and the technology purchased from Lize Civilization. The various protocol standards are in a mess, and humans have no energy to sort them out. Just use it.
To put it bluntly, use doctrine!
This is very useful in the beginning.
As for guns and the like, just use them directly. There is no need to pursue principles, just use them reluctantly anyway.
But what about updating? Forget it! This messy repair alone consumed a lot of energy from the engineers.
They have to learn a lot of civilization's technology trees in order to better repair them.
This situation is actually a bit closer to the three countries of India.
The weapons in the entire army of the three Indian countries are diverse and can be said to be weapons made by all countries. From the combat system to the logistics system, the army must learn to adapt to these completely different weapon systems. Because of the different origins, their tactical positioning, data links and interactions, logistics support and Repairs are all very different. This led to all kinds of weird and bizarre mistakes, which turned into a lot of jokes.
The 18th century human civilization has more or less similar problems.
Therefore, the first point is to solidify the foundation, establish a standard industrial system belonging to mankind, and completely eliminate these historical residual problems!
The second point is...population.
Without an adequate population, it is difficult to develop purely physical industries. To give the simplest example, when fighting the Nanyu civilization, the opponent used a "micron robot", and humans have not yet developed that thing.
The controllable nuclear fusion blueprints obtained from the Origin Fire Civilization have also not been realized by humans.
Talent is the most precious wealth.
"Here, I solemnly announce that in the next 50 years, the population of Green City will expand to 1 million, which means more than 10,000 newborns will be born every year."
"At the same time, the number of years of compulsory education will be increased to 24 years old, that is, from kindergarten to university graduation."
"We will establish five new universities and 12 research institutes, and will relax the age for doctoral candidates to 60."
"At the same time, 200 new enterprises will be established, and the projects they will engage in will be divided into two parts: idealism and materialism..."
As soon as this resolution was broadcast, it triggered widespread discussion.
After all, these things involve personal interests.
In order to take care of the new generation, a large part of the resources are invested in the younger generation.
This is normal. Young people have no connections and no resources. How can they compare with the older generation who have struggled for more than a hundred years?
But young people are the hope for the future. Once young people stop struggling, civilization will no longer move forward.
"If the government makes so much investment at once, won't it lead to a serious fiscal deficit?"
The discussion atmosphere on the online forum was quite friendly. Although most of the investment was given to young people, it was not a big problem since my salary had not been reduced.
"Don't worry, the government is quite rich now. And if spread evenly over 50 years, the size of this deficit will be quite limited."
In the bar, the rat craftsmen were drinking and sighing...
Maybe they also had a moment of prosperity... Who knows?
...
Lu Yuan sighed softly. In fact, he could predict everyone's thoughts and discussions.
The contradiction between the new and the old will exist for a long time in every era before entering the stage of great wealth.
The new generation thinks that the old people are occupying the toilet without doing shit, and the old people think that the new generation is lying down and eating the old, and each generation is worse than the previous one - the butt determines the position, and this is human nature.
But fortunately, the boat is small and easy to turn around. Now there are more than 400,000 people, so there are not so many strange remarks.
As long as the distribution of wealth can be reasonable, the current big family model can still continue.
But when there are hundreds of millions or even billions of people, this model may not work. At that time, all kinds of social thoughts will emerge, such as animal protection, environmental protection, and boxing techniques - 1% of the population can occupy 90% of the public opinion, and the whole civilization will be led astray.
But Lu Yuan does not plan to have so many people. He thinks that it will be enough to develop for thousands of years and stabilize at 5-10 million for a long time.
And it must be of high quality. He likes the elite route.
After a pause of a few seconds, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Friends, let's talk about the third-level civilization..."
"In addition to the all-round strength of idealism and materialism, the difference between the third-level civilization and the second-level civilization is another very important point... about the development and application of civilization points."
"A confidential document from the source fire civilization shows that they have developed a unique geographical technology that can mobilize the power of the earth veins and control volcanic eruptions."
"Although the specific principle is unknown, in theory it is an application of 'luck'. Deep-level volcanic eruptions can bring a lot of resources. As everyone knows, we picked up a lot of fire-attributed ores at the beginning, and now there are still many stocks. Source Fire Civilization It can control volcanoes and can continuously pick up ores. "
"In addition, some data of the Green Civilization also shows content that we don't understand. "
"For example, the 'Harvest Order', an unknown idealistic technology, can increase the output of all plants by 3-5 times in a year, and even the output of poppy trees will be greatly increased. This may also be an application of 'civilization points'."
"In other words, a third-level civilization will generally have a preliminary understanding of 'civilization points'."
"Civilization points, to a certain extent, can be transformed into spiritual charm."
"But spiritual charm cannot be transformed into 'civilization points'."
These data are relatively obscure and incomplete, and I was confused when I read them at first.
Only when humans reached this stage did they slowly interpret it - it turned out to be this matter!
Future work requires a large number of population studies, so it is not a confidential project, and was directly announced by Lu Yuan.
This point really aroused the interest of many people, which is a brand new research direction!
"In addition, in the materialistic field, we have to study higher-level machines, including high-speed aircraft, mecha puppets, giant engines..."
"On the one hand, we need to make the Sky City fly faster to avoid more natural enemies. As everyone knows, the current Green City flies as fast as a snail. Even if we make it 50% faster, it will be a good thing."
"On the other hand, using machinery to replace manpower is also a future trend... Instead of letting the grandmaster fight on the field, it is better to show our high technology."
The future described by Lu Yuan is actually a bit sci-fi, but it still makes everyone excited!
Especially the students in the school, they can't wait to make great plans, and describe their ideals one by one...
Ideals, no matter what era, are more precious than gold.
"Finally, there is one more thing."
"Because everyone has the surname Lu, the common three thousand Chinese characters are not enough."
"So we plan to change the surname for each generation, so that we can distinguish the generation gap of the children. When choosing a spouse in the future, everyone can also pay attention to this point."
This little episode made everyone smile knowingly.
There really aren't enough names.
Three thousand Chinese characters can theoretically give us nine million unique names, but you have to know that many names are ugly. You can't give someone a name like "dafen" or "goudan", right?
Excluding derogatory keywords such as "shit", "dog", "pig", "fat", "stupid", and "silly", there really aren't many names left.
So starting from the next generation, we will use one surname for each era, which is equivalent to the characters that indicate the generation in ancient families.
As for discrimination, etc.... don't worry too much, because the current training system has long been mature.
You can name yourself after adulthood, and you can change it to anything you want.
