Chapter 222: Hundred Years Plan

(ps: Although I know that there is no hope for the essay contest, I am still quite disappointed after seeing the results. So please vote, subscribe, and buy the genuine version, so that the heart with shattered dreams can get some comfort.)

It can be said that a warship without a magnetic field shielding system cannot be safe and sound within the magnetic field shield range of the Lake-class warship.

It is precisely because of the magnetization phenomenon of the strong magnetic field that the Lake-class warship is like a king with a domineering aura. When dealing with a small captain like a moth, it does not even need to fire a gun. As long as the shield is turned on, the small warship will lose its combat effectiveness like a small minions receiving the impact of the domineering aura.

After all the tests of the Dongting ship were completed, the new humans finally entered the stage of large-scale industrial shipbuilding. For the new fleet, the design and manufacturing departments of the new humans jointly proposed a 100-year plan.

This plan was officially implemented after being approved by Yue Yuan.

The first stage of the plan is to expand the space docks used to build Lake-class warships from one to fifty in fifty years, at an average construction rate of one space dock per year.

With the experience of building the Dongting ship, the new humans probably know the construction cycle of the Lake-class warships under sufficient resources. Each dock can build a Lake-class warship every two and a half years.

Then the second stage is to start construction at the same time in fifty docks, and build a thousand Lake-class warships in the next fifty years.

After becoming a second-level civilization, under the current human computer technology, a Lake-class warship requires about 5,000 crew members, and a thousand warships, that is, 5 million crew members.

This number has exceeded the human population eighty years ago.

However, now humans have a population of about 10 million. In another hundred years, there is no pressure to break through from 10 million to 50 million.

From 50 million people, recruiting 5 million people to become soldiers is completely no problem under the military and political system of the new humans.

Of course, the pressure is only in these hundred years. After that, the population of the new humans will steadily increase. When it reaches hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions, the population problem that restricts the size of the fleet will not be a problem.

As long as the environment is relatively stable and it is not sailing in the great hibernation, the population will inevitably increase.

In this 100-year plan, the new humans not only have to build warships, but also other types of spaceships.

After all, with a larger population, there must be a place for people to live. After all, humans do not plan to build a ground base on this barren planet for a long time.

This requires more and larger residential spaceships, and if you want to have more spaceships, you have to mine resources faster, which requires more engineering equipment spaceships of all kinds.

One link after another, the scale of all kinds of spaceships of the entire human race will experience explosive growth in this century.

In the 100-year plan, human civilization will also specialize in various derivative technologies of secondary civilizations, and then use them in various fields of society.

There are so many things.

It can be said that as long as this 100-year plan is completed, then humans will truly become a mature secondary civilization.

Of course, in addition to various large projects and industries in the general direction, humans also need to carry out a series of internal reforms.

The first is to carry out a series of reforms on the new government to alleviate some of the class solidification problems caused by military and political rule.

Military rule is not a big problem when there are few people, but when there are more people, many contradictions that were temporarily suppressed by the leader's prestige will gradually emerge.

For example, class solidification.

Of course, class solidification is not only found in the military and political system, but also exists in any system. As long as humans live long enough and sit in a certain position long enough, it will definitely exist.

The best way to solve this problem is naturally the term responsibility system, but in the interstellar era, the term system will also cause another problem, that is, the conflict between the frequent replacement of the person in charge and the long rhythm of interstellar life.

Just like the term of office of a person in charge is only twenty years, but the plan he is responsible for is likely to reach a hundred years or hundreds of years, and there are also situations where human civilization often sails for hundreds of years.

This will cause unnecessary internal friction.

Therefore, Yue Yuan will never let the American-style democracy sprout in the new human beings. Of course, in fact, Yue Yuan does not have too many concerns in this regard, because the growth environment and education system of the new human beings have made them take the current system for granted.

However, it is also necessary to appropriately relax the policy pressure on the people.

In fact, no matter what kind of system it is, as long as it is not doing nothing all day long to mess around with civil affairs, and often using power to show off in the people and brush up the sense of power, it is the same for ordinary people.

Moreover, the reform of the new government led by Yue Yuan will naturally not be for others to overthrow himself. The ultimate purpose of his doing so is actually to introduce the concept of technology governance that he had always wanted to implement at that time.

The so-called technology governance does not mean that scientists should be the leaders. Anyone who is immersed in bureaucracy all day long is still a theoretical scientist. It's just that the status is higher and they are given a higher spiritual symbol in society.

This is conducive to the formation of the concept of science supremacy in human society, and the concept of science supremacy will allow human civilization to move towards a higher level of civilization faster.

Of course, there are still some specific measures.

For example, the way of selecting talents needs to be changed.

In the concept of technocracy, decision makers are selected based on their expertise in a given area of ​​responsibility, especially in scientific or technological knowledge. This system is very different from the democratic concept that voters' representatives should be the main decision makers of the new government.

Of course, this does not mean that all representatives of public opinion should be eliminated. Different treatment can still be given in other fields that do not involve science and technology.

In this concept, the leadership of decision makers can be selected based on professional knowledge and performance, rather than political background or meeting skills.

Yue Yuan decided to work with other experts in this regard to develop a feasible system in the future.

Admittedly, this change will weaken his dictatorial power to appoint anyone to a certain position, but such power is unnecessary and unreasonable at all, so after mankind has changed from a weak country with a small population to a truly populous civilization, changes must be made.

Otherwise, not only will the power expand, but it will also endanger the scientific progress of mankind.

What he wants is not absolute dictatorship, but enlightened dictatorship.

This kind of technical official system or technical bureaucracy appeared as early as the 20th century and belongs to utopian socialism.

Of course, the new humans today cannot just copy the previous theories. They just formulate a system based on this concept that is in line with the current human social situation and beneficial to scientific literacy.

Time is spent in the proposal and completion of one thing after another.
