Chapter 116

According to Li Hao's original plan, they were to implement collective management. The more than 8 billion people on Blue Star would become part of a whole, but this proposal was rejected.

Considering ethnicity and politics, Li Hao thought for a moment and decided not to say anything else, maintaining the sovereignty of each nation. In a sense, this was actually good news for China. They only needed to consider the safety of their own citizens.

This is actually a good thing. The Chinese people are united and highly cooperative with the government's arrangements. The Chinese people have a very high sense of national pride and honor.

But other countries don't have this kind of thing, such as a country that has always been governed by political parties. There are not only racial conflicts, but also class conflicts.

Public trust in the government was also extremely low. Even if they announced doomsday news, according to polls, more than half of the people refused to believe it, believing it was a government conspiracy and refusing to cooperate. Some even believed it was an election campaign tactic, as they supported a different party than the ruling party at the time.

Most of the elite class had reacted. They knew that such a thing would never happen in a major government. Furthermore, if only their own government had made such statements, they might still be skeptical. But the Chinese government had also made such statements. Even if they were reluctant to trust their own government, they were willing to trust the Chinese government.

Especially after a series of events, the Chinese government first announced the takeover of industries related to people's livelihood, so that the Chinese people could have normal social order during the transition period before they boarded the spacecraft.

"Gu Zhaozhao, the university has suspended classes now, what should we do?" his roommate asked him.

"I want to sign up for First Industry to earn some points." Gu Zhaozhao said after reading the latest report.

News about various arrangements is constantly coming out every day. Since the first day of the report, several rules have been introduced one after another.

Schools and businesses were shut down, capital operations ceased, the market was unified, and all resources were allocated centrally. Fearing that the unrest outside due to the apocalypse would affect them, all universities were under martial law.

Money seems to be useless at this moment, and many extra consumer goods have become decorations.

In order to adapt to the subsequent spacecraft in advance, everyone has another type of money to spend called points.

Everyone can purchase points of corresponding proportion with RMB.

In order to regulate the market economy, all commodities and daily necessities must be produced normally before the spacecraft lands. Such basic industries that affect people's livelihood are given extra attention.

From ordinary workers, farmers, self-employed households to state-owned enterprises. For the sake of subsequent order and planning.

Everyone needs to use a special app that contains their personal information and identification code, which is linked to their ID card and will become their only identifier for future spaceship logins. Points earned can also be viewed on the app, along with various other information, from childhood to adulthood.

"After I get on the spaceship, it seems like university will still exist." My roommate was confused. She hadn't made any plans for the future yet. After all, they were only freshmen.

But change is happening so fast. What will the future be like? What will the future be like after learning these things?

"Our majors are about to be assigned," said another roommate who works in the student union. She had already received news that arrangements for university students would be announced soon. "Our arrangements will be announced on the news today, so you can check it out."

Hearing this, Gu Zhaozhao temporarily put aside the idea of ​​earning points. The current government has only temporarily taken over industries related to people's livelihood.

However, due to this sudden upheaval, the general service industry, tourism, and entertainment have been paralyzed. The real estate and construction industries have been hit hardest. It's safe to say that no one is buying or renovating homes anymore.

This issue also led to a number of people hanging banners at the developer's premises, demanding to cancel their contracts. Finally, a new policy was introduced, allowing New World vouchers to be redeemed based on the square footage and size and value of the property.

It's China's unique national conditions that provide this convenience. This unique base point can be used to exchange for land worldwide. This may seem like a blank check, but it has certainly reassured many. Of course, real estate speculators aren't so comfortable, as each person can only exchange for one property.

Gu Zhaozhao's family also mortgaged their property into New World exchange coupons, waiting for the arrival of the New World so that they could own a new piece of land.

Those who have ideas can also directly redeem this special exchange voucher by handing in materials.

Although the land of the New World seemed like an unattainable fantasy, it at least stabilized the market.

At the same time, because of the advent of the doomsday, many people have lost their jobs and no longer work. For this part of people, the government has already made arrangements. Building spacecraft and mining materials require a large number of manpower.

It can be said that the existing unemployed population has been fully absorbed without resorting to compulsory labor requirements.

Nowadays, there is a basic exchange process for points and RMB. This T-wave replacement has also recovered a lot of liquidity in the market for use in building spacecraft.

China's economic regulation measures were remarkably effective. Compared to other countries' repression and heavy-handed approaches, they were incredibly humane. The Chinese, initially perplexed, gradually calmed down and decided to wait and see what the government would do.

The classmates said that it would soon be their turn as college students to make arrangements, and sure enough, a message from the counselor soon came into their group, asking everyone to watch today's news.

After the incident of Li Shen traveling through time, the News Broadcast has gradually become a must-see program for everyone in China.

Gu Zhaozhao and the others finally heard the arrangements for their college students in this news. All college students will take new subjects, which include many future rising technologies, and all college students will start learning mental power as the most basic course, just like the military.

The knowledge that was originally only disseminated within the base was this time publicly disseminated to all college students. They had to change their courses and re-select their majors.

Future spacecraft will require a wide variety of talent. These talents will all come from university students. Even juniors and seniors can adjust their majors, and the selection process will take place in three days.

First, adjustments are made on a school-by-school basis. Majors with insufficient enrollment are adjusted to other majors, much like the choices after the college entrance exam. Students can fill out multiple applications, but they can only choose the majors within their own school.

Depending on the school, the majors you can choose from are also different, and this is also specially allocated by the supercomputers brought back from the interstellar world according to the situation.

Gu Zhaozhao's entire dorm erupted in cheers, and even the cheers could be heard outside the window. According to the news, they had already been assigned positions a year from now, and everyone would have their own responsibilities. It was as if they were guaranteed jobs upon graduation.

Young university students will be assigned jobs, while other professionals can choose jobs according to their own preferences during this preparation period, in order to maintain a balance and stability in the spacecraft's resources and manpower. All jobs are available in the app and can be applied based on personal qualifications.

Everyone on this doomsday ship will be recorded in the system, and areas and rooms will be divided according to the number of people. The areas of the ship have been divided.

This was only finalized after several days of discussion among the countries. Without Li Hao in charge, the meetings took a long time to discuss, and Li Hao didn't have the time to handle everything.

She was now fully responsible for the construction of the spacecraft. The unique creature brought back from the interstellar world had the most significant size change. It was approximately 50 kilometers in size, seemingly large, but compared to nearly ten billion people, it seemed incredibly small.

The most densely populated city in China has a population density of 20,000 people per square kilometer. Fifty square kilometers can only accommodate a maximum of one million people. Even if compressed further, it can only accommodate two million people at most.

However, this level of space is obviously impossible. According to their estimates, each person on the spacecraft has about five square meters of living space, and an additional two square meters of public space must be squeezed out.

A rough calculation shows that with a population of nearly 10 billion, each person needs seven square meters of space, which translates to 70 billion square meters, or 70,000 square kilometers. This is roughly equivalent to the size of Chongqing.

These are just two-dimensional squares. If they become three-dimensional spaces, the size can be even smaller.

Even the Red Tail Pirates' massive ship, though seemingly as large as the Moon, was long and flat, with its length occupied by detection systems and extended weapons, leaving little usable surface area. Strictly speaking, its main structure was roughly the size of a Chinese province.

Calculating this way, it seems that the spacecraft does not need to be built too large. This size may not seem large, but you have to know that this area is only the personal activity area.

There are also various public facilities, as well as other animals and resources on the blue planet. The most important and most space-consuming thing is arable land. To feed so many people, more than just personal activity space is needed.

Once they leave the Blue Star, finding the next habitable planet is still an unknown, so they must be prepared to be self-sufficient on the spacecraft.

Arable land, meat, poultry and even the space needed for daily necessities are the biggest consumers of land.

One person suggested freezing everyone. When watching science fiction movies involving long-distance interstellar travel, don't most people freeze themselves and thaw out when they arrive?

This is even more impossible. First of all, the current technology on Blue Planet does not have the technology to perfectly freeze a person. Even in the interstellar world, it is difficult to freeze a person without any sequelae.

So what they want to build is a comprehensive paradise where the people of Blue Star can live and grow.

Of course, this migration will not only take away the humans on Blue Planet. Animals and plants will also be taken aboard. And of course, there will also be important works of art from humanity—these are treasures created by civilization on Blue Planet.

The more people aboard and the heavier the spacecraft, the slower it will travel. A spacecraft capable of carrying so many people would likely take a month to leave the solar system.

To find a suitable planet to live on, Li Hao estimated that it would take at least ten years to find a suitable planet to live on, which means that tens of billions of people would have to live in a small place for ten years.

At least a spacecraft the size of Chongqing City would have to be created. It's incredible, but with the tools brought back from interstellar space, it's actually possible. If they can replicate the size of the Red Tail spacecraft, it could be done.
