Chapter 2249: Formal dialogue (below)

"Why don't you eat first, I'll have someone bring it up."
Locke immediately took his cell phone as he spoke. At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was solemn, and everyone was waiting for the experts from Section 2 to parse out the words of those who were whispering in the previous meeting of the Skyspace Nation.
After Locke explained the people below, he sat down, and Michelle on the side looked a little dignified.
"What's up?"
Michelle was still watching the video of the talk just now, she seemed to have thought of something, but she wasn't quite sure.
"I always feel that a country like theirs is somewhat vague."
"What's the meaning?"
Locke asked a question, and Michelle shook her head.
"I don't understand it for a while, but I just think they can achieve such a huge cluster of space stations, and they can live in space for hundreds of years, and technology can still develop. I think it's a bit strange."
Michelle's words made Gu Yi and Werther on the side also react.
"Indeed, this is too strange. If the population of 3 million was less than 200,000 in the space station in the past, it is not difficult to grow to 3 million, but in the harsh environment of space, it is not difficult to grow to 300. With so many space stations, the labor force is simply not enough."
What Werther said surprised everyone present, because it is true that in such a huge country, the labor force is far from enough. Everyone present in the field of science and technology has at least reached the level who can understand some principles. degree.
Although a mechanized country can replace labor with high-precision robots, in the huge dark space, the light of the sun is the source of energy, and the energy is inexhaustible, and some small stones floating in space can also be mined. A lot of metal is produced.
And after this disaster, some new substances brought by the disaster are really not difficult to develop, and it is in the sky where a variety of very high-precision experiments can be performed.
Even if it is possible to use mechanization as a labor force, the construction of the mechanized system is still human, and in the harsh environment of space, the damage rate of the equipment is very high, and the damaged equipment needs a strong industrial foundation as support to be able to guarantee it all the time. Efficient development.
This development is all based on population. Witte clearly remembers that the Asgard space country had about 100,000 people at that time. After the disaster, some people entered, and the maximum number would not exceed 200,000.
It is almost impossible for a population with such a base to develop to the current scale. If it is to develop to such a scale, a larger population base is required.
"Probably if they want to rely on manpower to develop to the current scale in the cosmic environment, the minimum population base must be more than one million."
After Li Chu finished speaking, he immediately called up a light and shadow screen. After a simple calculation, everyone present understood it.
How the Skyline Space Nation developed to such a huge size and has 5 army groups and an army of more than 300,000 people is unimaginable. The consumption of food, as well as the supporting consumption in all aspects, is beyond the reach of the population of 3 million.
"The size of the space station is also wrong."
At this time, Noah opened his mouth and said, he called up a light and shadow screen. According to the calculation of the visual image, the space station on the screen has an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers, and maintenance of such a huge space station alone requires a lot of people and a lot of resources.
How they maintain the size of 80 space stations is a big problem. Even if they have a lunar base, if they can't transform the environment, if they want to build a lunar base, they can only make the base in the protective cover, so they A population of 3 million is simply not enough to sustain such a huge loss.
The total lack of labor is the key, and this problem has become a problem that everyone present is thinking about.
"Is it possible they've found something more productive?"
Nia asked, and Noah scratched his head.
"There is no such possibility for the time being. All production capacity is based on demand, and their demand for such a huge volume cannot be kept up by 3 million people who start working day and night, so they should have used a certain amount to maintain this. volume method."
At this time, Mo Xiaolan laughed excitedly, because the linguistic experts on the 2nd department had already read the lips of some people who were trading in whispers, it was impossible to read every sentence completely, but Key words.
"It feels like you don't have to think so hard anymore, Clone!"
Mo Xiaolan said and immediately passed the document to everyone. Many of the people who were whispering at the meeting mentioned the term cloning, and also talked about rapid output and so on.
A lot of words have already indicated one thing, the sky country uses clones as the primary productive force.
"It's true, it's too outrageous."
Niya looked at it in disbelief, because it was unimaginable to everyone. Cloning technology has indeed matured more than 200 years ago, and it should be more mature if it is improved, but cloning has a disadvantage. The lifespan of clones is abnormally short, and the more clones, the shorter the lifespan.
The city already knows about cloning in the future clone program, and according to the cloner Frye, they have developed gene multipliers on the basis of cloning technology to help cloners adjust their bodies. genes, and then extend the lifespan of cloned humans.
"If it's true, then they cloned people infinitely, extracted the DNA needed for cloning from every citizen, and then cloned a large number of their own clones, and used the labor productivity of cloned people to support the entire sky space. people of the country.

Li Chu said, Noah immediately explained.
"If there are 100,000 to 200,000 people living in this 20-square-kilometer space station, then the number of clones in the entire Skyspace country is at least 10 million or more, and 10 million clones provide the sky space for 3 million people. The country is completely sufficient. The productivity of three clones can fully support one person, and there must be workers among the 3 million people, which can explain why they only have 3 million people, but there are 80 space stations, and The lunar base can support 300,000 troops."
After Noah finished speaking, he looked at everyone who fell into silence. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room. The nearest Ye Jiao got up and opened the door. Several members of the general affairs department came over with the dining cart.
"Go to my lounge and get all the wine. Today is a day to celebrate. Let's have a drink together and wait for the talks in the evening."
Now such a thing seems unbelievable to everyone. If you really think about it, there is only one way to go. Although the life cycle of clones is short, they can work, even if they die, for those who created them. It doesn't matter, it is equivalent to short-term cheap labor.
"It's like an ant empire."
King Xue muttered, Hua Shen smiled helplessly, Gu Ningning said.
"Didn't they say before that they have developed a lot of crops that can meet the needs of the human body, so as long as these crops can be regularly planted on a large scale, and in a sky with so much sunlight, they should be able to stabilize the yield, and then make Provide enough culture medium, so that cloning can be very fast, and dead clones, body tissue can also be decomposed into new cloning raw materials......"
Gu Ningning caught everyone's attention before he finished speaking, Hua Shen smiled helplessly.
"Ningning, you can really think of such a cruel thing."
Gu Ningning smiled awkwardly, and Locke sat down.
"Everyone eat first, let's talk slowly."
It's 6:40 now
Le Xiao was already a little drunk. She drank two glasses of wine and toasted with many directors. Wu Lei felt something was wrong. Le Xiao said something giggling, and he hurried over to grab her.
"Don't drink, there's still business later, if you can't wake up, you'll be in trouble."
Le Xiao didn't care and poured another glass. At this time, the directors in the cheerful atmosphere hurriedly began to discourage him, but Le Xiao still poured a small mouthful.
"Drink a little more. What are you afraid of? My alcohol intake can't be compared to before. I'm just a little buoyant, but don't worry if I'm not drunk."
Le Xiao raised the glass again, Wu Lei was too lazy to take care of it, anyway, if we couldn't have the evening meeting later, then it would be her who was scolded, and Wu Lei found that this girl was getting more and more courageous recently, Or rather thick-skinned.
"It's not a good thing!"
Wu Lei leaned back in his chair comfortably. The General Affairs Section was still busy today, because the chiefs and secretaries were all in meetings, and some of the council members had also been convened to form this kind of diplomatic team, so it seemed even more busy.
Many staff members who came in and out would come to see him, and Wu Lei could only helplessly smile, but now Wu Lei thought of something, which King Xue had explained before, and asked them to be the directors behind Le Xiao, during the period. Private conversations are absolutely not allowed. Now that Wu Lei wants to understand, I am afraid that the game between the two countries has already begun.
After dinner, it was already 7:20, and many people were drunk. Wu Lei's expression was solemn, and he asked everyone to go to a rest meeting. .
"I'm not drunk, really not drunk."
Le Xiao was dragged upstairs staggeringly by Wu Lei, but Wu Lei had no choice but to put her on the sofa in the lounge area. Sure enough, within a few minutes, Le Xiao's laughing voice stopped abruptly and she started snoring.
"I'd better go buy some hangover medicine."
As soon as he came to the square of the General Affairs Section, Wu Lei noticed some reporters coming, and one of the female reporters he knew immediately came to say hello.
"What's the matter? Is there any big news to report?"
This female reporter is called Zhao Siya, a former classmate of Wu Lei. Some of her news reports were given to her by Wu Lei, so the relationship between the two is very good.
"I don't know, how did you come here?"
Wu Lei was also completely stunned, Zhao Siya whispered immediately.
"We were called in after a strict review by Section 1. We will report a news in particular, but we didn't tell us what to report, and we are strictly forbidden to tell anyone, even our boss, about this matter."
Wu Lei looked at Zhao Siya in amazement.
"Anyway, you just need to be obedient. You'll probably know what's going on when you go in. Be adaptable."
Soon Zhao Siya and more than 20 other reporters entered the hall, and a secretary of the general affairs department was waiting. They were taken to a room, and they saw King Xue as soon as they entered.
"I'm sorry everyone, I invite you to come over during your busy schedule. From today onwards, you will no longer be employees of the original company."
As soon as Xue Wang's words came out, everyone received the notice of dismissal from the original company and the settlement of work wages. The people present were completely stunned.
"All of you are professionals who have reported big news before, and you have accurate wording and accurate reporting. You are all elites in the press. Now we are hiring you in Division 1, and we will set up a special reporting team, which is mainly used for diplomacy. I will tell you slowly what you can say and what you can't say in the future. If it is a real report, then you need to pay attention to your words and deeds."
Zhao Siya was stunned, and the other colleagues were the same. Indeed, they were all very good news reporters in the media industry, and they had all been in the industry for more than 20 years.
"There are 15 of you in total. I will divide you into 3 groups, and then each group will have a group leader who will slowly make adjustments based on everyone's performance. Please don't worry about the salary, it will only be more than the original company. "
Soon everyone saw an employment contract for one subject that you had already made. The salary and treatment above shocked everyone. The treatment was three times the previous normal salary, and there will be single-family villa housing in the future. No matter where you go, there is a turning point, as well as all the corresponding shooting equipment.
"There is a piece of information below, I just want you to keep it in your heart. When I haven't asked you to report, please don't tell anyone, or say that you will live in the general affairs department in the next few days, and the room I have already Once it is arranged, you will have an authorized status of the General Affairs Section."
King Xue turned on a light and shadow screen, and everyone gathered. The next moment, everyone was stunned. The existence of an extraterrestrial country in front of them made the people present completely unbelievable.
At first, the diplomacy of Xue Wangsuo made some reporters understand that it might be to report on the barrier area, but now this shock makes everyone present extremely surprised.
"Okay, you still have 20 minutes to prepare to adjust your emotions. Some questions will not be asked by Secretary Le Xiao, the head of the diplomatic group, but you, hurry up, all the elites in the media, let me see you Ability to work later."
The 15 people immediately began to seriously look at the information. Everyone was browsing quickly, and they were still talking about some parts that needed to be asked. Xue Wang looked at a group of people and smiled helplessly. The public knows, so he prepared it early in the morning. This is a test. If 15 people can't complete it, they can only look for news reporters.
