Chapter 495 The Growth of Civilization (Part 2)
493. The Growth of Civilization (Part 2)
In fact, it was precisely because of the potential population explosion that Tang Xiao was meeting with Count Dooku and the others. I often put the words 'living space' in my mouth.
The current population of Planet Dawn is 400 million, and this planet with a diameter of 4,900 kilometers is only a circle larger than the moon with a diameter of about 3,800 kilometers. If we want to ensure the existing quality of life and ensure that the environment is not If it is destroyed on a large scale, the population on Dawn Planet cannot exceed 1 billion.
This is the result of calculations after the construction of Dawn Planet's star ring has been completed, and almost all heavy and polluting industries have been placed on the star ring.
Because in this matter, there is also a potential ethnic issue involved-the Ewoks.
As the Ewoks gradually become civilized, their population gradually increases to more than 5 million. When batch after batch of systematically educated Ewoks enter the society, they will gradually pay attention to this question.
They will consider humans and other races to be outsiders, invaders occupying their planet. Although Tang Xiao has committed to solving this problem through cultural assimilation, there is no guarantee that no one will think so. Once such ideas sprout, they are difficult to eradicate, and are likely to cause racial strife on the planet.
In fact, this is also the reason why Tang Xiao has not awakened and cultivated other races except salarians and jackals until now. Even jackals are salarians. Subordinate and cultivated.
So, we must shift our attention, take everyone’s attention away from the small Dawn Planet, and put it into the vast Milky Way.
This is living space.
The expansion of the Kuna Star Cluster is only the first step. Currently, the fourth civilization has established a stable colony on the Fang of Kuna planet and has begun to absorb a large number of immigrants from other planets. As the atmosphere modification work of the Fang of Kuna planet begins, the living conditions of the planet are gradually improving. Now there is no need to wear a respirator when going out for a short time.
The current number of residents of the Fang of Kuna planet has increased to more than 4 million, the vast majority of whom are from other races. But Tang Xiao has already asked the Governor of the Kuna Sector, Volgograd-Kanidi, to implement a new immigration plan. This plan will gradually immigrate 50 million human residents from the Dawn Planet in the next five years.
The main task of these immigrants now is to expand, expand, and expand again.
The immigration of these human residents is not because the Fourth Civilization is implementing racist policies, but because it is preparing to culturally assimilate immigrants from other races through these human residents, so that these people can truly become members of the Fourth Civilization. One member. Because the Kuna Star Cluster will serve as the main immigrant-receiving area for the Fourth Civilization, the immigrant population here is expected to exceed 200 million people in the next five years.
At the same time, during the previous war with the Airu people, the prison planet Sonnel planet that was taken over from the Airu people will continue to exist as a prison planet. In addition to expanding the prison planet's prison, there will also be construction on the planet. A barracks that was actually not much different from a prison.
Because it has been implementing a quasi-war policy, the army of the fourth civilization has been growing like a snowball.
At present, the number of the entire fourth civilization's army has reached 2 million, and 8 infantry divisions and 6 mechanized infantry divisions have been established. The Fourth Civilization currently does not have a dedicated armored division. It only has one armored regiment under each infantry division, and two armored regiments under the mechanized infantry division. At the same time, each division has a strength of 20,000 men and 10 regiments. Among them, 10,000 are natural persons and the other 10,000 are robots, mainly B-1 combat robots and B-2 super combat robots. The combat groups composed of these robots will be responsible for some charge or near-death missions, while the natural human combat groups will be responsible for the main attack tasks.
The reason why the coverage rate of armored units is so low is mainly because the fourth civilization has been expanding its army and expanding its army. All the arsenals are serving the ever-increasing army, and there is simply not enough productivity to make the equipment of these armies better.
This is also the reason why the Army of the Fourth Civilization did not undergo a third change of equipment after the second overall change of equipment, replacing the M-15 Vindicator assault rifle and Liberator combat uniform - because the population is The adoption of frozen embryos continues to snowball, and naturally so does the military.
If everyone is detailed, then what the Fourth Civilization has to do is to solve the problem of food rations, housing, education, employment, production, training, equipment, etc. for every citizen who grew up from frozen embryos within 5 years. A series of questions. The extremely short growth cycle of frozen embryos also brings great pressure on productivity. So far, the fourth civilization has been able to handle these problems well, which is already very good.
Tang Xiao also understood why the number of frozen embryos carried on the mother ship was only 5 billion, because if there were more, the population explosion would be unimaginable, and even simply too much to bear.
Human beings are very fertile. If I give you 5 billion young adults, a planet as big as the Earth will explode in less than 30 years.
According to Army Commander-in-Chief General Xian Hui’s estimates, the current Army of the Fourth Civilization can basically guarantee a huge advantage over the natural soldiers of the Galactic Republic. But Admiral Xian Hui judged based on the plot intelligence provided by Tang Xiao, and he raised a very serious question, that is, the ace in the hands of the Galactic Republic-the clone army.
The cultivation model of the clone army is similar to that of the Fourth Army secretly established by Tang Xiao. However, because the content of the combat database of the Fourth Civilization is much more comprehensive than that of the Galactic Republic, which has been in peace for thousands of years and almost all relevant combat information has been lost, the clones The army's combat experience will be slightly inferior to that of the Fourth Army in the early stage, but they will basically be invincible when facing the ordinary army of the Fourth Civilization.
The clone army of the Galactic Republic has about 3 million. In the future, this army will be led by Jedi Knights and become the sharp knife-like force of the Republic. Although these 3 million people are very few on the battlefield of the entire galaxy, if used for breakthroughs in some key areas, they will be a terrifying force.
Not to mention that with the productivity of the Galactic Republic, the equipment of the clone army will undoubtedly be the best! Every soldier will be armed to the teeth! Compared with the Fourth Civilization, which has been constantly choosing and having headaches between quantity and quality, this is simply the difference between a rich man and a loser.
Because of the existence of hyperspace channels, this clone army can fight everywhere in a short time, destroying resistance in one theater after another.
Tang Xiao understood that in the Clone War in the original plot, this was how the Confederation of Independent Systems started with a huge advantage in the early stage and then lost the war step by step.
Moreover, Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao also conducted a series of combat simulations. The simulation results are that if the Galactic Republic invests 300,000 to 500,000 clone troops on the Dawn Planet without considering space operations, the resistance of the Fourth Civilization will be will be destroyed.
Admiral Xian Hui told Tang Xiao that such a situation must be avoided. In other words, the Confederation of Independent Systems must be allowed to withstand the main offensive of the Galactic Republic. Otherwise, with the size of the Fourth Civilization, , simply cannot withstand the full blow of the Galactic Republic!
The power gap in this war is so huge!
But... we must fight! And win!
