Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

If the primitive people deep in the African jungles saw the spaceship of the great Eastern power today, they would probably exclaim in awe, bow their heads in worship, and regard it as a god!

did not expect.

One Earth, one species.

Technology between nations.

The generation gap has widened to such an extent.

Sharapova gave a wry smile.

Other countries haven't even achieved controlled nuclear fusion yet.

The great Eastern power has already started developing spacecraft!

Is their next step to break free from Earth?

This... is simply unimaginable.

"The former International Space Station, by refusing to allow China to enter, attempted to permanently keep them out of space."

Sharapova gave a self-deprecating laugh, somewhat sarcastically saying:

"Unexpectedly, it was ourselves who were forever barred from the gates of space."

"Now, they no longer need us; they can set sail alone and head towards the vast ocean of stars!"

Chapter 140 Change, change, change!

The Kunming ship landed in the takeoff dock.

Having had his fill of fun, and seeing that nothing was amiss, Fang Jing returned to the Xishan base.

He also wants to see the firsthand information about the various imperial tombs and ruins excavated on The Wandering Earth!

Hmm, let's take a good look and appreciate it!

The Kunming warship has been upgraded and is no longer in public.

However, the storm it created continues to fester outside.

After all, the awe-inspiring presence of a space warship is not so easily diminished!

Moreover, there's also the Xirang Project released by the space agency—a kilometer-level space base!

With these two news items released one after another, it's immediately clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the country's next development direction is space!

Sure enough, the document was issued from above very soon.

Several Suggestions on the Comprehensive Scientific Development of Space

This book of advice covers a wide range of topics.

This includes completely replacing repetitive, labor-intensive industrial work with robots and automated equipment within five years.

This will free up 3.91 million workers.

Of course, being released is not the same as being laid off or dismissed.

Over the next five years, these workers will be trained in batches and then placed in new positions.

New industrial chains have emerged and developed from space exploration!

The space exploration industry will generate an unimaginably large number of jobs across its supply chain.

From downstream mining, smelting, and repair; to midstream piloting, manufacturing, and searching; and then to upstream spacecraft manufacturing and space exploration.

If the entire upstream and downstream of the industry chain were to be fully expanded, it would require 3.91 million people. Even if the agricultural population were included, it still wouldn't be enough!

Furthermore, what was even more shocking was the document that the Development Committee subsequently released.

A Five-Year Plan for a Full-Scale Journey into Space

The plan outlines development strategies for key sectors such as agriculture, industry, and high-tech industries.

In agriculture:

Agriculture must be upgraded within five years.

Three-dimensional automated agricultural factories, livestock factories, and automated forestry and fruit factories should also be fully developed.

Production should be more than three times the amount consumed by the entire national population.

The surplus agricultural workforce was entirely relocated to industry and other sectors.

In industry:

Low-end industries, household goods, clothing, etc., are all automated, with only high-end and scientific research industries remaining.

Within five years, a comprehensive and scientific space development industry will be established, and all workers will be relocated to this industry to upgrade its production capacity.

In the transportation industry:

We aim to create a seamless one-hour air and space transportation network across the entire country!

We guarantee that products can be delivered to all regions in the fastest possible time.

……

The suggestions and plans were extensive and their content was quite impressive.

simply put.

Industries that previously required a large workforce have all been automated.

The released population was gradually reassigned to other industries.

The population needed for space exploration is enormous.

So much so that fully automating other industries wouldn't be a big problem!

Old Zhu's plan was very simple.

Ten years from now, or perhaps less, that perfect utopia will be partially realized.

Because of highly developed productivity.

Currency will be abolished and replaced by contribution points!

In the future, everyone will be able to receive basic living security every day, even if they don't work.

But at best, they had shelter and wouldn't starve.

Want more food, a better life, travel to the moon, unique things, and compare yourself to your friends.

Then go and learn, contribute, and shine in every industry!

Use the contribution points you earn from your contributions to society to exchange for more of what you want!

The future has arrived.

It's not just technology that's making things impossible.

Because technology will change everything.

However, this is all a gradual process; we are only just getting started.

However, the contents of just these two documents are enough to be shocking.

"In the envisioned future society, people receive a basic daily ration, which means I can just slack off?"

"Come on, there must be checks and balances. If you just give up, your standard of living will probably be the worst."

"Those are all things of the future, just speculation for now. Friends, what's more important right now is developing space!"

"Everything else is fully automated, and then we'll focus all our efforts on space exploration. Wow, that's amazing!"

"Five years? I'm skeptical!"

"Indeed, it feels like the time is a bit too tight!"

"Hey upstairs, don't be so insecure. Look at the Kunming, it's a real space warship! Who would have thought it would suddenly appear like this?!"

"That's right, space battleships and space bases have already appeared, so how far behind can space mining ships be?"

"Wow, I want to travel to the moon!"

"..."

This has sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

Because this change is too significant.

After entering the space age.

Industry will enter an unprecedented era.

Unlimited electricity would destroy all current production relations, and even trade relations.

Carbon dioxide is used to produce starch, gasoline, and formaldehyde.

Starch is used to make rubber.

Apart from ores, humans will be able to produce most industrial raw materials themselves in the future.

The industrial chain has been completed!
