Chapter 175 The Federation’s Bottomless Pit

Yan Xia didn't want to destroy the environment of the Federation at this time.

The citizens of the Federation have lived in this way for thousands of years. If it is suddenly reduced, it will cause panic among some citizens.

The stability within the Federation itself is very necessary.

There is also another reason. Most of the Federation's investment is in infrastructure. If these infrastructures are recovered, the loss rate is too high, which is not worth the loss.

The destructive energy utilization plan proposed by Yan Xia was actually thought of a long time ago.

Because the energy of the Federation is really not enough.

Yan Xia had noticed these problems before, but he didn't go into it. He handed all these things over to Ella to deal with. He originally thought that he could turn these around with Ella's ability, but now it seems that Ella is not omnipotent.

There are actually not many solutions to the current problems of the Federation.

In Yan Xia's view, the first thing is that the scale of citizens in the Federation is too small.

Compared with the vast star field, more than 60 trillion, less than 70 trillion is too small. Each star system has less than 500 billion citizens. You must know that any star city can carry more than 10 billion citizens.

The Mobius Ring World can accommodate more citizens.

If there is only one citizen per square kilometer, then the number of citizens carried by the entire Mobius Ring World is 32 trillion.

And how many citizens does the Mobius Ring World have now?

Since Yan Xia first came, the number of citizens has doubled, and the number is now 10 trillion.

That is to say, the citizen density of the Mobius Ring World is now 1 citizen per 32,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to only one person in a province on the South China Sea Island in China and only 3,000 people living on the entire earth.

The current federation has the economy, resources, and infrastructure, but the number of citizens has not.

If the total number of citizens in the federation is more than 100 trillion, then some problems can be solved.

The number of citizens actually affects the problem of internal economic flow.

It's still a cliché.

Back to the original content.

The federation must give more things to the federation and turn public things into privatization. This is what Yan Xia talked about with Ella hundreds of years ago, but there is no progress now.

Because the Federation is already extravagant enough now, if more energy is invested in individuals within the Federation, then the citizens within the Federation will have extremely terrifying funds, and almost everyone will be well-off in an instant.

Is this good?

For ordinary citizens of the Civilized Federation, this is simply the best.

But what is the use of this for the Civilized Federation?

Ordinary citizens have ten times or a hundred times more money, but this money only brings social and economic growth, which cannot be converted into growth of the Federation economy or actual benefits.

So after discussing this issue for so many years, Ella has not taken any action.

The earlier idea was to let companies within the Federation develop the triangular star field, but now it seems that there are still disadvantages.

The more these star fields are developed, the more money will be invested, and there is no return at all. As Ella said, even if those companies put all their wealth into it, what they build is a slum compared to the star city of the Federation.

In this way, the companies in the Federation will only become poorer, not richer.

Yan Xia checked the funds of these companies and found another terrible thing. The debts of these companies were too high. A company with a market value of 100 billion owed the Federal Bank 4 trillion.

It was unimaginable.

He couldn't figure out how these companies could pay back such a large sum of money. Even if the interest was 1% per year, it would be a terrifying 40 billion. These companies couldn't pay it back even if they sold their pants.

Now the Federal Bank is prosperous on the surface.

100 yuan was used to achieve the effect of 1 yuan. Not only that, this 1 yuan investment only produced a return of 1 cent. It's not 1 cent per year, but 1% interest from this 1 cent per year, which is 0.01 cent.

9,999% of the Federal Bank's annual investment has no return and no output, and the remaining 1% of the investment can only recover 1% interest.

It is equivalent to a country on Earth investing 1 trillion yuan into the country every year. When you open the financial report every year, you will see that the total government revenue this year is 1 million yuan, and the investment return cycle is 1 million years. The key is that you have to invest 1 trillion yuan in the second year, and continue to invest 1 trillion yuan every year.

If this continues, Yan Xia can imagine that in the newly developed star system, the things that may be built with 1 trillion yuan may only serve tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of citizens.

Bottomless pit.

The more you understand Yan Xia, the more terrifying it feels.

So back to the original question, the most suitable point of the destructive energy utilization plan is that you don’t have to invest more money in the star system to build Dyson clouds and Dyson rings, and think about the long-term return.

After destroying a star to collect resources, you can directly take these resources back as supplies. Even if the collected energy may be only one millionth or one ten-millionth of the entire star, it is enough.

Although this approach is a bit of a one-sided approach, the universe is not a small earth. There are too many resources in the universe, and these energy sources are not resources that need a growth cycle like trees and fish. Even if a star is destroyed, the matter of those stars will not disappear. They will form nebulae, making it cheaper to mine.

The plan has been made.

Ella also acted quite quickly.

It drafted the details of the destructive energy utilization plan within 10 hours, and it is expected that the first star will be mined within 500 years.

Why does it take so long? It is because it is necessary to choose a star that is far enough away, otherwise destroying the star may affect the surrounding star system. It is difficult to make an immediate response within a few light years, and dozens of light years are more appropriate.

The shortest distance in Ella's plan is 25 light years.

These energy sources will be mainly used for military purposes, and secondly, they will be invested in the growth of the number of citizens. Yan Xia plans to let Ella postpone the infrastructure construction. The return cycle of the current investment is too long, not a hundred years, nor ten thousand years, but a million years, and some even directly exceed 100 million years.

It is a problem whether the Civilization Federation can exist for so long.

After damaging many brain cells, Yan Xia began to return to his scientific research.

He actually saw another possibility from the biological warship, whether the biological warship itself could be connected with consciousness, that is, the life force could directly control the biological warship, instead of staying in the command room to issue orders and then letting the warship's host process the content.

If this can be achieved, it will have a huge impact on the future combat mode of the Federation.
