3497 Population Explosion
After Mu Sumei returned to Mars University, Qiu Feng's life in the game became more regular.
Every night in the game, unless Qiu Feng went to the military base for training or went to other planets and did not have time to come back, he would usually go home to accompany Mu Sumei.
Mu Sumei still spends a lot of time dealing with the affairs of the Seven Demons Interstellar Government every day, but she also returns to her home in the game on time every day.
By the middle of the twenty-second year of the Starry Sky Calendar, Her Majesty Diana, the Empress of the Great Empire of Pandora, had already rented out Qiu Feng's house in the central area of Seven Demons City. Her eldest daughter Elena was now living in Hog
Star Watts serves as a high-ranking government official. His second daughter, Alice, now serves as a senior general in the provincial army in the fantasy province of Fantasy Star. His third daughter, Lucy, serves as an associate professor at a second-rate university in the Seven Demons City. His son, Andre,
The prince returned to Pandora, preparing to take over as the emperor of the Great Empire in the next few years.
During game time, aboriginal NPCs do not grow with age like players do in the real world. They grow according to the time in the game.
When Qiu Weiqiang was first awarded to Qiu Feng by the system, he was less than 18 years old. Now he is an old man in his fifties. He has five children in his family, and now they are basically serving as junior officers in the army.
Qiu Youyu was already an old man when the system rewarded Qiu Feng, and now he is extremely old. After several resignations, Mu Sumei finally allowed him to serve as the government official on December 31, the twenty-fifth year of the Star Calendar.
Officially retired at the time of change of office.
That night, Mu Sumei and Qiu Feng were lying on the bed at home in the central area of Qi Yao City. Mu Sumei rubbed circles on Qiu Feng's chest with her fingers and said, "Ah Feng, although there is still only half a year left.
It’s just time for the census, but I have some vague predictions that after another five years of government, the number of people under our jurisdiction will already be larger.
However, there is still a lack of cutting-edge talents in all aspects of construction, and infrastructure also needs to be further improved.
Unfortunately, the talents with S-level qualifications that are extremely rare in games who followed us at first are becoming fewer and fewer. Qiu Youyu is about to retire. Qiu Yue's married life is not happy, and the education of her children often makes her physically and mentally exhausted.
, she is not young either.
Although Qiu Wei is known as a successor, the real relationship between the time and space merchants lies with him personally."
Qiu Feng was already very tired, but when Mu Sumei said this, he had to cheer up and asked: "Oh, how many universities has Qiu Wujiu opened in these years? Is that enough?
Haven't we invested a lot of money in infrastructure construction? We can't stand it..."
Mu Sumei said: "Wu Jiu is still young, and higher education is also accelerating year by year. Now there are a total of 301 higher education universities of various types on the Seven Demon Stars. Wu Jiu has very high requirements for teaching quality, and would rather lack than overwhelm higher education universities.
Pandora has only restored to 36 universities, but there are two new universities under construction on the Fantasy Planet, one each on the east and west continents of Pishic City. In fact, it is not necessary now, because Pishic City and Heping
Air routes have been opened between the port city and the cities in the eastern mainland, and the one-way trip by civil aircraft only takes two or three hours at most.
In the Hogwarts province, Qiu Wujiu has also planned two new universities, which are expected to enroll students in September this year.
The total number of universities under our jurisdiction has just reached 343, which is too few.
Infrastructure construction has been invested for five consecutive years, which can basically meet the needs of primary and secondary education, but vocational and technical colleges and elementary schools still cannot keep up with the growth of the population."
Qiu Feng drooped his eyelids and asked: "Didn't we continue to invest heavily in infrastructure before? Isn't infrastructure just to protect people's livelihood..."
Mu Sumei grabbed a piece of meat on Qiu Feng's chest, rotated it 90 degrees and put it down again. The pain made Qiu Feng sober up. Hearing Qiu Feng's gasp, Mu Sumei said proudly.
: "Damn it, Feng, you didn't even listen to what I just told you.
The population growth rate in normal society is only about 2%. What is remarkable after the war is to maintain a population growth rate of about 10% within 3-5 years. The so-called population growth rate is the annual increase in population minus the number of deaths divided by the population base.
What I can tell you now is that due to immigration from the other three planets, the population growth rate of the Seven Demons has always remained at around 30%. The fantasy planet and the planet Hogwarts are in the post-war period, and a large number of people go to Pandora every year.
Star and Seven Monsters were transferred, but the population growth rate still reached 12%; Pandora was a transit station for the transfer of population from Fantasy Star and Hogwarts to the Seven Monsters, so the population growth rate continued to be maintained at around 20%.
You have to know that the total population of Seven Monsters and Pandora is less than half of that of Fantasy and Hogwarts. Taken together, our four planets have a net population growth rate of about 15%, based on a population base of 60 billion.
Calculated, the annual net increase in population is as much as 9 billion, which is more than four times that of the Seven Demons, and more than three times that of Pandora.
And the investment in the infrastructure construction of the Seven Demon Stars is mainly calculated based on the population base of the Seven Demon Stars, so how can we take care of it?"
Qiu Feng rubbed the back of his head and said: "Damn it, the population is growing explosively? Should we use birth control? Or just let it go and improve the basic investment of the Seven Demon Stars, and other planets will have strength later.
Let’s talk later.”
Mu Sumei knocked Qiu Feng on the head again and said: "Now we are taking the Seven Demon Stars as the core, but overall, the total number of residents of the four planets is still low. With our current agricultural production level, one year
This can be seen from the fact that the food harvested in a single season is enough to feed the entire population and is more than enough.
What's more, based on the current agricultural production of our four planets as a whole, we can harvest an average of 2.3 crops of food crops every year. A good harvest in one year can at least ensure that the static population data of that year can be eaten for about ten years.
In future competition, the population base is still very critical.
The main reason I tell you so much is to remind you not to spend too much energy on the military, industry, and technology. General people's livelihood and infrastructure still need to be considered.
At present, Qi Yaoxing has only 180,000 kilometers of flight routes, 330,000 kilometers of railways, and 2.89 million kilometers of roads, which are seriously insufficient.
The money we have saved is actually quite a lot, and we can go a little crazy in terms of infrastructure construction."
