Chapter 651 (1/2)
At this time, after listening to otili's words, Wang Bin thought for a while and didn't immediately answer. After all, although the construction of Mars mining base has been completed, the mining equipment is not fully in place at this time.
After all, this is Mars, not the earth. The mining method of the earth is not suitable for the mining of Martian minerals. Therefore, after a series of discussions, Wang Bin and they decided to adopt completely unmanned mining, that is, using robots to mine Martian minerals.
Although these mining robots seem to be very tall, in fact, they can be realized for the current human civilization. Therefore, after less than three months of research and development, the mining robots developed by Tiangong technology have begun mass production.
Of course, because these robots are the first generation of mining robots developed by Tiangong Technology Institute, the mining speed of minerals still needs to be improved, and they can't be as efficient as those on earth who use manual mining.
However, if it is placed on an alien planet, it is different. If artificial mining is used on an alien planet, the human body must wear a thick spacesuit or exoskeleton armor.
Moreover, human civilization does not know much about the situation of outer planets, even Mars and the moon. Therefore, if manual mining of minerals from outer planets is used, the risk factor is very large, but mining with robots is different. Even if robots can only use remote operation to mine minerals, there will be no danger, It's just a loss of one or two robots at most.
You know, as human civilization began to officially enter the interstellar age, the whole Federation now knows very well the importance of population in the interstellar age.
Not to mention others, they only learned from the mouth of the blue star captured the ”sea”. Although the blue star civilization is only a relatively low-level civilization in the Milky way, the population of this civilization also has nearly 20 billion. If it is some dominant civilizations in the Milky way, the population of these civilizations will be even larger, which is calculated in tens of millions.
So at this time, human civilization attaches great importance to everyone on the earth. No matter how poor he is, of course, the federal law is very strict for those who commit heinous crimes. After all, their existence will not only harm themselves, but also endanger many people.
After all, with the formal entry of human civilization into the great space age and the establishment of the space station, space city, lunar base and now Mars mineral base, although most of these space and alien projects are not open to ordinary people, with human civilization, we continue to strengthen the development in the space field, and finally, human civilization is the main force in space, There will also be ordinary people, and now Wang Bin and the research ships and fleets of the Earth Federation are just advance troops.
At that time, there will be a lot of ordinary people who will participate in the space industry and even immigrate to other planets. It's nothing to say at all.
Take the Martian mining base as an example. Although it is only a small base, it can not be located in a small base, in the high-level planning of the Earth Federation, this Martian mineral base will eventually build a base for mining and holding more than 5 million people, which is only a base on Mars. Such a base is under planning, There are at least ten, that is to say, even if Mars is not transformed, the number of people who will eventually migrate to Mars by human civilization will reach as many as 50 or 60 million.
