Of course, in Luo Yuan's eyes, what is more important is that this new warship can accommodate more people, more than imagined.

Not to mention five million, based on the population density of the mother ship today, even a billion people are not a problem. High-rise buildings have always been a powerful tool for accommodating population. Even if they are just a district of only a town-sized area, miracles that are close to China's total population before the end of the world can accumulate.

However, with the growth rate of human numbers, it is estimated that it will take hundreds of years to fill this spacecraft.

Over the years, human cloning has not been shut down in the secret experimental factory of the Star Boat Ship, but the production volume has been slightly reduced. In ten years, the human population has increased by about two million, and the total human population has reached eight million.

It is not that it is impossible to clone more, nor is it to avoid exposure, but that it is a serious shortage of child care and teachers.

There are very small numbers of people who do not lie, with a total of less than 500,000, most of them are scientific researchers, while there are only more than 30,000 specialized nurseries. After all, clones are not products, nor are they those powerful clones of Luo Yuan. They no longer need to worry about them after they leave the nutrient solution.

Newborn cloned babies are quite fragile and not much different from ordinary people. At most, they are just a little stronger. Whether they are feeding or urinating, they need to be taken care of.

It was not until after half a year that they began to show unusual behaviors, walking independently and learning to speak. By this time, they basically no longer need to take care of them carefully.

These cloned children cannot see in the virtual world, and they all stay in the mothership welfare home to study and live, and do not move in the virtual world. Their cognitive and discriminatory abilities are still far from mature. After staying in the virtual world for a long time, it is easy to confuse the difference between reality and virtual.

In fact, let alone children, many adults have this trend. Every time they leave the virtual world, they feel like they are a different life. For them, reality is just a place that meets their physiological needs. Most of their time, they spend in the virtual world, living, working, and having fun.

What is reality? What is false? This definition has begun to become blurred now as the virtual world becomes more and more real.

This is an inevitable phenomenon of staying in the virtual world for a long time and an inevitable sequelae. However, Luo Yuan does not want to correct this. The greatest value of those scientific researchers is to contribute their wisdom. As for where to work, as long as it does not affect it, it can do whatever you want.

...

No matter how powerful or advanced this new warship is, it has no effect on today's human beings. Human beings can only stay in this old star mother ship, and can only conduct technical verification in the virtual world.

There is no village in front and no shop behind here. The black field is empty and has no resources. Even if the goddess of Lucky finds an asteroid by chance, she cannot build a giant spacecraft of tens of billions of tons.

This is a behemoth that needs to be built with a planet as a mining area. It is not a one or two asteroids to meet. The construction work can only be carried out if it flies to the Barnard star system.

This will take more than ten years to fly.

However, more than ten years later, with the technological progress of human beings, this kind of spacecraft probably won’t look down on it. This is a spacecraft destined to stay in the drawings. In the future, it can only be seen in the virtual world and admire its former style.

…………

After visiting the spacecraft, the group boarded a plane vehicle and rushed to the next location. The space here has become a test site for human military forces. In addition to the spacecraft and factories, there are also many strange space defense weapons floating.

"This is one of the components of the armed satellite global defense system designed by the Tiandun Weapon Research Institute. It weighs 300 million tons, has ten sets of giant nuclear fusion furnaces, a gamma-ray cannon and twelve rapid-fire electromagnetic cannon defense arrays, intelligently capture targets, if complete sets, it will have 18,000, covering the entire planet."

Tiandun Weapon Design Institute is one of the largest research institutes specializing in the design of space defense weapons. Almost two-thirds of the space defense weapons here are designed by them. This time, after finally waiting for Luo Yuan and a group of leaders to inspect space defense, the director of the design institute quickly gained twelve points of energy and introduced carefully.

However, Luo Yuan only heard this number and frowned: "Three hundred million tons, more than ten thousand pieces of the quantity, can this resource be consumed?"

"This..." The director of the design institute immediately looked embarrassed: "This was designed by some young people, let's correct it immediately."

"You can be bold when designing, but you also need to combine theory with practice. Reality is not a virtual world, and there are not so many resources to mine." Luo Yuan scolded in a deep voice.

"The mayor said it well, and this is what I want to mention. Over the years, these mechanical and military design departments have become more and more bold when conducting mechanical design. It is important to pay attention to the beauty of the big one, and the more is good. Not long ago, the mecha that is more than 300 meters tall really scared me. What's the use of being so tall and so big? If the war is going on, it's not as good as a space fighter. I think this kind of atmosphere should be braked." Bi Jianping next to me immediately agreed.

The two bigwigs criticized one after another, which scared the director of the institute and was sweating profusely and did not dare to defend himself at all.

"This is pretty good. You will never think of the warship that was about to be built before. What was the tonnage of the first design version? 300 billion tons. What do you think of these people?" Tian Jinping smiled and looked like a good man, but in fact, he was serious outside. As a senior in charge of the Ministry of Industry, he was tough and had a harsh style. Generally, his subordinates dared not breathe in front of him.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Their virtual world authority is a bit too high. It seems that it needs to be adjusted. Although the unlimited resource supply has accelerated scientific research efficiency, it is easy to make the development of science and technology misunderstand. The Barnard star system has poor resources and is difficult to mine. If this continues, our development will be severely restricted at that time."

This is not a guess but a reality. According to data from the spacecraft's reconnaissance, there are only two rocky planets in this star system, while the others are gaseous planets.

Moreover, the star is already a red dwarf, and the light emitted is very dark, resulting in the surface of these planets being covered with thick ice layers. These ice layers are not the shallow ice layers on the earth, and are possible to have thousands or even tens of thousands of meters thick. In addition to the easy access to water resources, mining other resources is quite troublesome and time-consuming.

What's more serious is that humans must also consider the possibility that these planets that seem to be rocky planets are actually gas or water. Once they are true, it will undoubtedly be bad news for humans.
