Chapter 38, The First Interstellar Colonists

The construction time of the "Star" was greatly shortened with Liu Qingquan's guidance. It originally took ten years to build, but it was shortened by several years at once. Many preparations had to change the plan and prepare in advance. The most important one was to form the first batch of interstellar colonists in human history!

The "Star" was used by the empire to conquer the sea of ​​stars, to occupy the resources of surrounding galaxies for humans, and to beat aliens. It was not just a fleet formed by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty. It was simply used to promote the majesty of the sky~Chongqing~ country, nor to spread knowledge and technology to aliens.

Learn from history to know the rise and fall!

Zheng He's voyage to the West was similar to that of the Europeans' great sailing time, but the influence of the two was completely incomparable, and the impact it had on his country was even more different!

Textbooks give the most fair evaluation; in terms of their role, they have promoted friendly exchanges between China and the people of Southeast Asia, India, Arabia and East Africa, and made outstanding contributions.

It is a reflection and symbol of the political, economic and comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He went to the West seven times to serve as an envoy of peace, promoting harmonious coexistence between countries to enhance the prestige and national status. At the same time, it also has "striking troops in foreign lands" to show the side of China's strong national strength.

Zheng He's voyage to the West and visited more than 30 countries and regions in Asia and Africa. This was not only an unprecedented feat in the history of ancient my country's maritime navigation, but also the largest in the history of world maritime navigation at that time.

It strengthened political, economic, cultural exchanges and friendly exchanges between China and the people of Asia and Africa, spread China's advanced culture to all parts of the world, and also enriched the geography and navigation knowledge of the Chinese people. In addition, taking Zheng He's voyage to the West as an opportunity, more Chinese people came to the South China Ocean and made great contributions to the development and construction of the South China Ocean.

Have you seen that this is what historical books evaluated. Zheng He's voyage to the West was to promote the strength of the Ming Dynasty at that time and improve the prestige and status of the country. At the same time, he also brought the Ming Dynasty's advanced production technology and culture. This is a typical stupid behavior that can be given as long as you save face.

Zheng He's voyage to the West did not provide strong support for domestic economic development, did not stimulate the development of China's handicraft industry, and did not promote the development of commodity economy, but instead strengthened the traditional small peasant economy foundation of China.

Moreover, this kind of trade has little to do with the national economy and people's livelihood, because most of the imported goods are high-end consumer luxury goods such as spices and treasures. At the same time, it also encourages the unintentional and self-confidence of the Chinese feudal rulers, which is even more unfavorable to China's political and economic innovation.

The foreign trade carried out by Zheng He's voyage to the West was not a transaction based on equality and mutual benefit. According to the will of the Ming government, trade adhered to the principle of "high trade and weak comeback", that is, to purchase foreign goods at high prices and sell Chinese goods at low prices. The purpose of the purpose is to show China's prosperity and wealth, thereby deepening the Chinese people's self-arrogance and self-centered worldview.

The consequences of this kind of trade can only cast a shadow on the development of the domestic economy. The huge consumption behind trade has added a huge burden to the people, which is not conducive to social stability in the long run.

In fact, it also proved that this kind of fool-like behavior was unsustainable. Seven times, the Ming Dynasty's national strength was empty and could not continue. Later, it developed to the point of closing the country to the point of closing the country. Zheng He's voyage to the West did not bring any substantial benefits to the entire country, but instead brought great pressure to ordinary people.

Compared to Zheng He's voyage to the West, Europe's voyage was very successful. They carried giant ships and cannons, and used bloody means to incorporate the entire earth into their colonial rule, bringing ships of gold and treasures back, greatly enhancing the strength of the Europeans.

It promoted the rapid development of their economy, science and technology, and accumulated a foundation for the development of capitalism. Just imagine that if Zheng He's voyage to the West could bring back countless gold wealth to the entire Ming Dynasty, then the development direction of the entire Ming Dynasty would definitely slowly move towards the path of capitalism.

If the European colonists, like Zheng He's voyage to the West, brought knowledge, culture, and all kinds of good things to the indigenous people, and were poor, then Europe's navigation activities would definitely be unsustainable, and there would be no later Age of Discovery!

Our Chinese nation has made a mistake and has tasted the price of making mistakes. He has been ruled by foreign races for hundreds of years. In modern times, he has suffered humiliation and bitterness! In modern times, the descendants of Yan and Huang, who were once proud, actually became popular with foreign countries and doubted their own culture and history, which shows the depth of this price!

The European colonists were just the opposite. Their descendants were spread all over the world, their influence dominated the entire earth, and their descendants controlled the entire earth, and the descendants of the indigenous people who had been bullied by them also thanked them for bringing modern civilization!

Naturally, the empire could not follow the previous path, but should learn from European colonists and use giant ships and cannons to set a sky for its descendants!

So when the first batch of interstellar colonists were formed, the empire directly promoted it with the slogan "interstellar colonists", rather than saying a peaceful exchange team in false benevolence and righteousness, which is to tell everyone in the empire that we are conquering aliens and we are creating the future for our descendants!

The empire actually had to do this. The construction of the "Star" cost a huge amount of money. The huge investment of 100 trillion Han yuan is a huge burden for the entire empire. The imperial government had to issue planetary vouchers to raise funds. It can be said that the entire "Star" occupied several parts of the empire's power!

Moreover, the planet vouchers issued by the government are mortgaged on the planets that can be occupied in the future and galaxies as the benefits. Although the people themselves trust the government very much, the government should fulfill its promises and bring substantial benefits to the imperial citizens who purchase planet vouchers and to support their imperial citizens!

Whether it is based on history as a lesson or for the substantial interests of the empire, the "Star" is destined to embark on the road of bloody colonization!

The "Star" is very large, with a diameter of more than 1,000 kilometers. It can carry hundreds of millions of people by squeezing it. Under reasonable comfort, it is also very easy to carry tens of millions of people.

Furthermore, to carry out interstellar colonization, a certain population base is required. After all, transportation is still relatively inconvenient now. The warp-engine spacecraft is currently only being built. Once you go to an alien planet, it will take at least many years to come back next time.

Therefore, the population of the first interstellar colonists was set at 20 million. All citizens of the empire can sign up, and the whole family can sign up together!

20 million people are not too many for the empire with hundreds of millions of people. The blood draw will not be too serious. It is also considered that the first interstellar colonization is better to be cautious and not to suppress too much of the population. 20 million people are also the result of scientists' rigorous calculations.

It can not only ensure that there is enough population to carry out interstellar colonization, but it will not have much impact on the current empire. After all, it is blood draw. Like a person, it doesn’t have much time to draw hundreds of CCs at a time. It will come back after a period of cultivation, and it can also promote the operation of the human hematopoietic system.

But if the blood draw is too severe at a time, the whole person will lose too much blood and lose more resistance, easily get sick, and it will take a long time to recover. (Readers who go to donate blood should pay special attention to this point, pay special attention to the amount of blood drawn. Many times they will draw more while you are not paying attention!)

It is a very huge thing to form a team of 20 million colonists. Liu Qingquan was worried at first that the citizens of the empire were not too many people to sign up because they are living better now.

However, unexpectedly, after the government announced the news, the empire received more than 200 million applications on the first day, and many of them decided to go together by the whole family. Among Liu Qingquan's children, there were more than ten who applied to join. The largest of them was Liu Qingquan and Deng Yujie's eldest son, Liu Qingquan's fifth son, Liu Qihao!

Liu Qihao is different from Liu Qingquan's other children. He has been naughty and not very peaceful since childhood. This is very similar to Liu Qingquan when he was a child. He is both naughty. When he grew up, he did not become a scientist like other brothers and sisters. He started working hard in the army very early and is now a middle-level officer.

"Qihao, I don't allow you to go!" Liu Qihao's mother, Deng Yujie, was calling Liu Qihao home at this time, scolding him severely, and firmly opposing him to join the first batch of colonial troops!

"Mom, a good man is determined to be in all directions. How can I miss such a great opportunity? What's more, as the prince of the empire, he should set an example for the people of the world. Other nobles have signed up enthusiastically!" Liu Qihao gritted his teeth to defend himself, and it was obvious that his new intention was decided!

"I don't care about this. You have to know that you are going to the solar system. The distance is calculated in light years. I don't know when I will meet again when I go there!"

Deng Yujie, who has always been stronger and wise, has no calmness as before as a mother. At this moment, he is completely a mother who is worried about her son.

"Mom, don't worry! The empire's technology is developing very fast. After the popularization of warp speed, the exchanges were also very fast. It won't take long. Moreover, quantum communication technology is so developed, we can still communicate with videos frequently!" Liu Qihao naturally comforted him quickly.

Deng Yujie could not convince his son, and Liu Qihao could not convince his mother. Like other people, the matter came to Liu Qingquan.

Originally, Liu Qingquan was based on the principle of voluntary action. Since the children wanted to go, let them go. It would be good to go out and exercise more. What's more, other citizens of the empire can go. Why can't you, Liu Qingquan's children?

Of course, from the perspective of a father, Liu Qingquan couldn't bear to leave his children deep down. Although technology is developing rapidly, it will be separated for at least several years. For his children, any parent cares the most!

For a moment, Liu Qingquan was actually worried!
