This is not surprising, as the previous space station was more like a holiday center than a functioning city.

Now that industry restrictions such as education, research, and even permission to start a company have been made up, more people will naturally apply for quotas.

In just three months, the total number of people staying on the space station has risen to 960 million.

This is already more than half of the population of Xuanyan Country.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, the news that the Xuanyan people immigrated to the space station had spread a lot in major public opinion circles around the world.

That is to say, too many weird incidents occurred, which greatly suppressed the popularity of this news.

But even so, many foreigners still know the news.

Many foreigners also specifically called the embassy of Xuanyan country abroad to inquire about how to apply for a place to stay on the space station.

It's a pity that Fang Xiaoyue didn't think about this issue before.

After all, it is easier to manage people from the Xuanyan Kingdom living in the space station.

But people from other countries are different.

But as more and more weird incidents occur, foreigners' desire to live in the space station is getting stronger and stronger.

People from some small countries even took to the streets to protest against the unfairness of small smart device companies in the space station quotas.

It has to be said that even the diplomatic department of Xuanyan Kingdom is under great pressure now.

The reason is very simple. During this period, high-level officials from many countries began to put pressure on Xuan Yan to open up quotas for foreigners to stay in the space station. In particular, some wealthy foreigners played a big role in this.

After all, for these wealthy foreigners, there is no shortage of money, but as weird incidents continue to increase, their sense of security is losing bit by bit.

Compared with the surface of the earth, where weird events are constantly occurring, a space station hanging high in outer space is undoubtedly much safer.

Although Xuan Yan is now the most powerful country in the world, if all countries express dissatisfaction with you, then the pressure will undoubtedly be great.

Under such circumstances, Fang Xiaoyue had to consider opening some accommodation quotas to foreign countries.

Zhou Bingbing quickly held a series of discussions with the relevant agencies of Xuan Yanguo regarding the opening of accommodation quotas.

Therefore, the final decision was to first open up some quotas to countries that have friendly relations with Xuan Yan.

And this decision is tantamount to excluding powerful countries such as Choudras and Tedras.

This is not surprising, the country that has friendly relations with Xuanyan country will definitely not be another powerful country.

Take Choudras for example. Xuanyan Kingdom kicked it off the throne of the world's hegemon. Choudras hated Xuanyan Kingdom deeply, at least he was very unhappy.

Therefore, over the years, the two countries have had a series of conflicts in economic, military competition and even technology.

Today you ask me to impose tariffs, and tomorrow I will impose export restrictions on you.

There is a saying that if everyone didn't have mushroom clouds in their hands, the two sides might have started a war ten years earlier.

You know, before the invention of the mushroom cloud, world-class wars would break out on the home planet at every turn.

After the emergence of the mushroom cloud, as major powers equipped themselves with mushroom clouds in large numbers, a world-class war has not broken out for more than ninety years.

Therefore, the first batch of countries that Xuanyan Kingdom opened quotas for are basically small countries that have good relations with Xuanyan Kingdom.

Moreover, this batch of quotas is not applied on the official website of the small smart device company. Instead, 20 million quotas are directly given to these small countries, which will be allocated and distributed by these small countries themselves. Afterwards, the transport ship will pick up these foreigners in one go at the agreed time.

Transport them all to the space station.

After all, if you apply directly on the official website, it is difficult to say that you will not cause any trouble.

And letting these small countries allocate it themselves is undoubtedly equivalent to giving benefits to the top leaders of these small countries.

In addition, the quality of the 20 million people living in the space station will undoubtedly be relatively high.

The reason is very simple. If these small countries allocate the quota themselves, anyone can guess who will be allocated the quota.

It must be the elite in these small countries.

For example, civil servants, entrepreneurs, scientific researchers, etc.

It is estimated that there will be some quotas for ordinary citizens, but definitely not many.

Because the combined population of these small countries exceeds 1.5 billion.

And think about what would happen if 20 million people were selected from the 1.5 billion population.

After all, for the vast majority of people, staying on the space station means safety is guaranteed!

It's like a ticket in a doomsday movie!

Soon, immigrants from these small countries quickly filled three space stations.

There is no way, these people are all in child care, and the total number far exceeds 20 million, close to 60 million.

As mentioned before, these populations are the essence of those small countries, and the overall education level is relatively high.

Of course, Fang Xiaoyue is not doing it for these demographic dividends.

After all, no matter how advanced the demographic dividend is, it cannot compare with the benefits generated by engineering robots and AI intelligence.

It can be said that with the resources that Fang Xiaoyue currently has in space, it is not a problem to supply all humans on the home planet.

After all, the consumption of ordinary humans is very small.

A space station can produce enough artificial protein and artificial flour every year to feed and drink 60 million people.

But having said that, as the number of people living in the space station increases, the consumption of natural food also increases dramatically.

After all, most people are not willing to consume artificial foods for a long time.

This is not surprising. Artificially synthesized food is processed in artificial food factories guided by AI intelligence, but don’t expect AI intelligence to know what taste humans like.

Therefore, the taste of processed synthetic foods is simply beyond words.

It is impossible to say that it is absolutely unpalatable. When you first eat it, it will still feel delicious, but after you eat it a few times, it will become difficult to swallow.

It's like stir-fried vegetables with too much MSG.

Therefore, even the most frugal families will choose to use their credits to go to the supermarket to buy natural beef, pork, mutton and even various vegetables after eating synthetic food in the space station for a period of time.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Xiaoyue had to set up a large number of space farmlands and pastures in the free space of major space stations.

Fortunately, the population of most space stations is less than 15 million, so these space farmlands and pastures can supply at least 30% of the space station's own natural food.

But for more natural food supplies, special space farmlands and pastures can only be built in space.

In Fang Xiaoyue's design, the main frame structure of these space farmlands is made of extremely cheap silicon crystals.

Compared with steel, silicon is an element that is more abundant in space and more widely distributed.

In the asteroid belt, more than 80% of asteroids and even meteorites are made of rock, while only 18% of asteroids and meteorites are made of metal.

After the minerals from these rocky asteroids and meteorites are mined, the remaining waste residue will be smelted into special silicon crystal products, which are used to build cheap space buildings in space.

And space farmland and pasture is one of them.

Of course, compared to metal structures, the strength of this special silicon crystal structure is relatively low.

However, since there is no influence of gravity in outer space, just adding some metal structures inside is enough to prevent these space farmlands and pastures from disintegrating on their own.

Compared with farmland on the ground, farmland in space is completely different.

Due to the filtering of the atmosphere, the sunlight on the farmland on the ground is not so dazzling.

The amount of sunlight in space is 5-10 times more than that on the ground.

Therefore, the space farmland is designed as a structure with overlapping layers of farmland.

There are 11 floors above and below, and all farmland adopts soilless nutrient hydroculture technology.

The entire layer is planted according to plants with different habits from sun-loving to shade-loving.

For example, sunflowers, rapeseed, etc. are planted on the first layer to provide edible oil.

On the second floor, various sun-loving fruit trees are planted to provide fruits.

The third layer is planted with various vegetables.

Dryland crops such as wheat are grown on the 4th and 5th floors.

Plant rice and other water-loving crops on the 6th and 7th floors.

The 8th to 10th floors are used to grow various high-yielding grasses, mushrooms, ginseng and other medicinal materials.

The 11th floor is a body of water.

The waters of some space farmlands are fresh water, and various freshwater fish are cultured.

Some are seawater, where various marine fish are cultured.

After all farmland is harvested, the remaining by-products such as straw will be thrown into the water one after another and used to feed fish or reproduce algae to achieve an ecological cycle.
