The first impression that Star City gives people is that it is huge. This kind of size is completely different from those cities built underground on Sedna, such as Earth City, Human City, Sun City, etc. As for the collective dormitories, it is even more
There is no comparison.
There is enough planning area to allow people to copy the scenery here on the earth as much as possible. There are mountain peaks, forests, grasslands, deserts, rivers, etc., all of which are available. Of course, they are all miniature versions.
The height of the sky here is about 300 meters, and the sky is also assembled with a huge screen, simulating the blue sky, white clouds, sun, moon, etc. It seems that it is not only 300 meters high, but seems to be infinitely far-reaching.
There are two layers of rollers in the third-generation roller base. The first layer of roller is also a cylinder, but it is only 600 meters in diameter. Those huge screens are installed on the outside of this roller.
As for its inner side, it is where various machinery factories, energy factories, water and air circulation factories, etc. are located. The dock connecting the drum base to the outside world is also there.
The space is large enough to allow cargo spacecraft to travel between here and the space elevator base very conveniently, and to replenish supplies here and transport away waste very conveniently.
The second layer of rollers is used for people to live in. Its diameter is 1.2 kilometers, so it separates the "height" of 300 meters in the middle, which is the space where people live.
In those giant screens, the simulated sun, moon, stars, sky, etc. will slowly "rotate" around the inner roller over time. Wherever the sun goes around, there is daytime. Behind it is night.
In this way, a scene of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west is created.
The gravity that is basically the same as the earth allows people to live here comfortably. The large enough area makes everything appear spacious and calm, without the slightest sense of crampedness. Even people with slightly poor eyesight can even see the "curvature" of the earth in the distance.
None can be seen.
Ignoring the "curvature" of the earth, there is almost no difference between this place and the earth.
This is the scene of the homeland that gave birth to human civilization as depicted in movies, TV shows, texts and other works...
Wang Luoyi and Zhao Ying, as well as the other 20,000 people who had arrived in Starry Sky City, cheered at the same time. Journalists with quite professional sensitivity quickly took pictures of this scene and passed it on
To almost every place where humans exist.
When seeing the picture shown in the lens, almost everyone sitting in front of the computer, in front of the TV, or staring at the mobile phone screen fell into sluggishness.
"Can a space base be built like this?"
"No, I have to get the quota for the second residential base, I have to get it! Damn it, don't sleep anymore, go work overtime!"
At this moment, I don’t know how many people are falling into deep regret, regretting that they did not work hard in the past period of time and did not get enough honors to obtain the qualification to stay in Starry Sky City.
At the same time, I don’t know how many people have made up their minds at this moment to show their most outstanding performance in the next time and try their best to win a spot.
The people standing in Starry Sky City felt a sense of pride in their hearts at this moment.
Because they know that this treatment is earned by themselves or their relatives through their contribution to civilization. The qualification to stay in Starry Sky City is not only a reward, but also a heavy honor.
Now, it’s time to enjoy it all…
Here, people not only have spacious and comfortable residences, but they can also raise their children here and work here without having to travel to space and the surface of the planet.
Looking at the joyful people, Zhao Changxing also had a smile on his face.
"In the future, we will build more and bigger spaceships, and our civilization will definitely become better and stronger..."
Time is still passing slowly. Everyone except minors, including Zhao Changxing, are like wind-up toys. As long as they still have energy, they will never stop.
Work.
With the support of a large amount of resources from the two planets Sedna and Deep Space, human civilization, which has completely solved the threat of war at this stage, is developing at a jaw-dropping speed.
In the fifth year after Star City was put into operation, the third space elevator with an average daily transport capacity of 500,000 tons was put into operation almost at the same time as the two newly built electromagnetic rail guns, so the ability to transport materials into space was once again
A significant improvement. Five years later, Space City No. 2 was also completed.
Space City No. 2 is slightly smaller than Space City No. 1, also known as Star City, and can only accommodate 20,000 people. So 20,000 people who have made outstanding contributions in these ten years also happily moved in.
Going in, it once again aroused people's envy.
At this time, in the newly built 40 second-generation roller bases, more than 20,000 minors finally reached adulthood and replenished the human society.
And, from now on, a considerable number of adults will be added every year.
Calculated at this rate, the upper limit of the population of human civilization at this moment has reached about 2.2 million people. Of course, this will take decades to reach.
After that, another new data was placed in front of Zhao Changxing. Zhao Changxing was pleased to see that the health of the first and second batches of 50,000 people who moved to the space city was generally better than those living in the city.
The average life span of people on the surface of Planet Dana has increased by as much as one year.
You must know that before they moved to the space city, they also lived in the low gravity environment of Sedna for many years. Just ten years after moving to space, their health has improved so much. This is
It's really surprising.
After obtaining this data, Zhao Changxing immediately made certain adjustments for future key projects and allocated more social resources to the construction of the space city.
"The right to life and health are the most basic rights as a member of human civilization. Everyone should be qualified to live in a space city. Then, next, let's go all out to build the space city."
With the experience of successfully building Space City No. 1 and No. 2, the construction of Space City No. 3 and No. 4 was immediately put on the agenda and was completed one after another in the next five years, followed by No. 5 and No. 6...
…
Zhao Changxing spent 25 years to reach about 1.3 million people in the total population of human civilization - including nearly 500,000 minors living in the Fire Circle and the first and second generation roller bases.
At that time, I finally fulfilled my original promise.
It is now the 311th year of the New Calendar.
He has built more than 30 of the largest space cities that can be built under the current level of technology. The total can accommodate about 900,000 people, giving everyone the qualification to live in the space city.
Zhao Changxing adopted different design plans for these more than 30 space cities. The main style of some space cities is "sea", so Zhao Changxing designated half of the space city area and put in more than 20 million tons of water.
, and installed wave machines and other equipment to create a seascape.
The main style of some space cities is mountain peaks. Zhao Changxing built a "mountain range" and installed refrigeration equipment on the top of the mountain to create a snow-capped mountain landscape.
Of course, these mountains are actually hollow. If they were solid, they would be too heavy for the space city to bear.
It's relatively simple to focus on grasslands and forests, just plant grass and trees.
No matter which style, Zhao Changxing breeds corresponding animals, plants and aquatic creatures in them, striving to make everything perfect and lifelike, so as to provide people with the best life and living experience.
Moreover, creating these different styles does not require consuming too many additional resources. Even in the case that the powerful "Moyunli Tal" civilization may arrive at any time, consuming some not too many resources,
In exchange for a substantial improvement in living environment, Zhao Changxing believes that this is worth it.
Under this situation, the traffic between different space cities has become busy. During holidays, people who want to travel and vacation will take different ferry ships to and from different space cities.
Snow-capped mountains, canyons, grasslands, forests, seaside and other places have all left traces of people’s laughter and laughter.
Zhao Changxing has also formulated a new policy for minors who are born through artificial insemination and have no parents, that is, once they reach adulthood, they will get a house in the space city for free. Of course, its area
It's not too big and the location isn't too good either.
If you want a better house, work hard.
There are also some people who have to stay on the surface of Sedna or other low-gravity environments for long periods of time due to the nature of their work. For these people, Zhao Changxing proposed the concept of "health subsidies" and gave them more extra money.
Contribution points, and a rotation time is also specified so that these people can return to the space city to recuperate every once in a while.
In the process of making every effort to solve the housing problem, human civilization has not given up at all on the development and recovery of science and technology. In fact, the process of building many space cities itself is an exercise for the engineering team of human civilization, and it is also a test of the shortcomings of science and technology.
The process of repair and improvement.
While these projects were being carried out, factories one after another were built on the surface of Sedna, one space elevator after another connected the earth and space, and one spaceship after another left the dock and began to fly in space...
…
The industrial strength of human civilization is also developing rapidly.
Under this situation, Zhao Changxing can finally announce that at this moment, the technological level of the new human civilization has finally caught up with the level of the old human civilization that has perished in the vast space.
