Chapter 595: Catch the duck and put it on the shelves

The word population is a topic that cannot be avoided in every country. It is related to all aspects of a country.

And it also involves two words, that is, demographic dividend and population burden. However, a large population is not necessarily a dividend, and a large population is not necessarily a burden. This depends on the stage, and it also depends on the large population. How about the national management, will they take advantage of it?

The same population plays different roles at different stages.

For example, in the era of the first industrial revolution, a large population was the labor force and purchasing power. If we seize the opportunity and make good use of it, the large population is the demographic dividend, and the country will take off.

If there is obviously a large population but the opportunity cannot be seized, then those large populations are a burden on the population, and it also shows that the national management at that time was not very good.

Just like what China is now, it has a population of nearly 1.5 billion. Although it is now surpassed by the Asan Kingdom and has become the second most populous country, after all, the population of the Asan Kingdom is already reaching 1.6 billion. It cannot be compared, but Hua The current situation in China remains a good point of comparison.

The question of whether China's current situation is a demographic dividend or a population burden is a matter of opinion. After all, the answers obtained from different perspectives are definitely different.

But as Zhao Gang said just now, "It is really not easy to make 1.5 billion people live a life standard of developed countries." This is no longer a matter of hard work. The various resource issues involved here are astronomical. number.

We must also consider sustainable development and not use domestic resources unscrupulously.

But without enough resources, how can one live a happy life?

Many Western countries say that "it will be a disaster for the people of the world if we want all people in China to live like a developed country." This argument is just another variant of the "China threat theory." When I hear this Argument, just tell them to get lost.

After Zhao Gang said that, he stopped talking and kept looking at the earth. He has worked in the aerospace department for most of his life, and he once wondered whether he would really go to space one day. However, according to China's aerospace development stage at that time, it was impossible for him to come.

But he didn't expect that he would realize this wish in 2020. I have to say that 2020 is really a legendary year, but I didn't expect it to be such a legend.

The first thing he saw was the desert on the earth, large tracts of desert, only visible in the green land and blue sea, the yellow color was simply too conspicuous.

He also saw many small green spots on the deserts of China and Arabia. They were the miracle of life of the Arc Light Group and their desert afforestation plan.

However, he also saw a fire burning in a mountain forest in South America. The thick smoke could be seen from space. It can be seen that the area of ​​​​the fire must be large, and it may be larger than the forest grown by the Arc Light Group's afforestation plan.

This has to be said to be a kind of irony. It is expensive to grow while burning cheaply. Some people like to do this kind of thing.

In addition, there is sea water as far as the eye can see. He knows that the current melting of the North and South Poles is extremely serious, and the sea level is rising every year. Although he cannot see it, he also knows that some island countries in the ocean are experiencing this. The choice between life and death.

It is true that water is the source of life, but if there is too much, it will be a disaster. At least that is what the island countries on the ocean think. After all, they are already in a disaster.

Not only Zhao Gang was watching, but everyone was watching quietly, looking at this beautiful world, this world that is unique to mankind and is beautiful, dangerous and cruel.

Now think about it, if this continues, even if the resources on the earth are enough now and we can live happily, what will future generations do?

So in this case, there is absolutely nothing wrong with turning your attention to the universe, and the sooner the better.

The sooner we enter the universe, the sooner we can use the resources of other planets. Then a happy life is not far away. If we have a strong will to go to the stars, then the technology in this area will also develop very quickly. The more developed it is, the easier it is to obtain resources. On the contrary, it uses fewer resources on the earth.

Moreover, if human beings go into the universe, according to human thinking, occupying land will be a very important matter. At this time, we will also see the pros and cons of population size.

There are no people, so what territory do you occupy?

When Zhao Gang said this, he also had this consideration in mind. Arc Light Aerospace is developing the fastest now, and there is a feeling that he can fly around the solar system if he just disagrees. China has always cooperated very well with Arc Light Group, and now its own aerospace industry Technology is also developing rapidly.

According to past cooperation experience, if the Arc Light Group wants to develop the solar system, China can provide strong support. With the cooperation between the two, the Arc Light Group will provide technology and China will provide the population. Soon, it will be able to develop on major planets and satellites. Flowering and bearing fruit.

This is something worthy of recognition. They did see a lot of things and learned a lot during their trip to space. It was not in vain.

It is a pity that many people believe that seeing is believing. For some reasons, higher-level people did not come. They did not see such a scene. I wonder if they would feel the same as the inspection team after reading the report. .

With different moods, everyone returned to the earth after circling the earth several times. Their return was welcomed by many people.

As for China's big moves here, as well as Arclight Group's sponsorship of China's 40-person space trip, China's space industry inspection trip has really stimulated the hearts of many countries, whether it is the hearts of the leadership. Or the hearts of the people in the country.

Correspondingly, the various partner countries that have begun preparations for the construction of the new International Space Station have also urgently made corresponding plans. When the space station is almost completed, national leaders will also be sent for space tourism inspections, and they will definitely be better than China. The person the country sent this time has a higher position.

As soon as this information came out, media from various countries began to interview high-level government figures and asked them if they had any plans to go to space, especially the top leaders of the new international space station partner countries.

Many people who watched the news saw that the faces of the officials who were questioned were not very good-looking, and some even turned visibly green.

Not surprisingly, if the aerospace sector and government offices dare to make such a commitment, they must have the approval of Congress and the President, and the senior officials interviewed also know this.

But Zhigui knows that they don't want to go to space. Although they are not very clear about how advanced their country's aerospace capabilities are, they are certainly not as advanced as Arc Light Aerospace. Otherwise, the whole world would not have to wait for Arc Light Aerospace to clean up the garbage.

And from their point of view, it is impossible for them to take the Arc Light Aerospace Airliner for public space flight. They can only take the launch vehicle of their own country or a partner country. They may develop an aerospace plane in the future, but the safety And the comfort in a short period of time is definitely not as high as that of Arc Light Aerospace.

People like them, who would joke with their own lives.

So it's strange that their faces look better when things like this happen.
