Chapter 647 Brave New World (VI)
Before they knew it , the two of them had strolled to the vicinity of the Interstellar Immigration Department under the Department of Space Colonization.
Ye Shuwen looked up at the star map symbol of the solar system: "I heard that this place can apply to work in other interstellar colonies."
"Why, you want to go to an alien colony?" Xiao Yong asked curiously while sitting on a bench by the roadside.
"I'm just curious. Besides, as interns, we shouldn't be eligible to apply to work and live in alien colonies." Ye Shuwen took a sip of aloe vera juice.
The holographic projection device at the entrance of the Interstellar Immigration Department is playing promotional videos for the Venus Colony, Mars Colony, and Jupiter Colony.
The floating island city clusters on Venus and Zhurong City on Mars, these colonial cities suitable for long-term human habitation, already have a large population at this time.
Venus in particular has a current permanent population of about 870,000, making it the second largest populated planet after Earth.
Xiao Yong wiped his eyes and yawned: "Ha... This weather is perfect for sleeping. I heard that if you want to settle on Venus, you need to transform your body, but I don't know how to do it specifically."
"The company will definitely not harm us. After all, there is no need." Ye Shuwen did not have much resistance to body modification.
After all, among the various life-extending technologies currently being developed by Sapiens, quite a few involve human body modification.
If you are a body fundamentalist, you are not even qualified to join the company of Homo sapiens.
For example, the conservative natural person groups in West Asia believe that the human body modification technology of the Sapiens company is an act of the devil.
The Sapiens company doesn't care about this. After all, the other party is unwilling to accept the life-extending transformation, and the company has no intention of forcing others to live longer.
This is the result of a two-way effort.
Those who are willing to accept human body modification are the new humans.
If you don't want to accept the structure of the human body, just treat them as natural persons.
Since Ye Shuwen and others are willing to join the Sapiens Company, it means that they are mentally prepared, otherwise they will not be able to pass the first stage of biochip implantation.
After sitting in front of the Interstellar Immigration Department for a while, the two of them wandered around aimlessly.
The population of Ubon City is indeed not large, and the probability of Ye Shuwen and his companions encountering other employees is the same as in a rural area.
This situation occurs because Sapiens promotes a small city model, and the population of a standard city usually does not exceed 500,000.
Standard cities are usually very large, such as the city of Ubon Ratchathani, which is divided into five urban areas: central, eastern, western, southern and northern. Each urban area has seven areas above ground and six areas underground.
The "piece" here refers to a boundary layer with a height of about 50 meters, except for the top floor. The height of the top floor of a general city is about 200 meters.
The dome area where Ye Shuwen is strolling now is actually the "top of the city" about 300 meters above the ground. This area is often parks and public facilities, and residential areas are below.
In fact, this kind of city can be seen as 13 cities stacked up from bottom to top.
So even though Ubon Ratchathani is a city, in fact, the population density here is very small.
If it were not for this kind of urban layout structure, with the demand for 50 square meters of villas per employee and the huge green area, the city's area would become unprecedentedly large.
Although there are alien colonies such as Venus that divert part of the population, we should try not to waste land resources if possible.
This stacked city layout not only improves land utilization, but also avoids the decline in quality of life caused by overly dense urban population.
It took more than twenty minutes to walk.
The two came to the edge of the dome, where they could see the world outside Ubon Ratchathani.
"It really seems like two different worlds!" Ye Shuwen looked down at the desolate wilderness before him.
Except for a part of the monuments protected by special transparent protection houses, the rest of the area has been abandoned.
Wild grass and vines are growing everywhere.
A dozen Asian elephants are leisurely nibbling sugarcane from an abandoned plantation in the wilderness.
Xiao Yong swiped his card to open a gate, and the two of them passed through the gate and came to a protruding viewing platform.
There are free telescopes here, and you can enjoy the surrounding wilderness: "The company has decided to gradually abandon all wild plantations and cultivated land. In the future, this place will become virgin forest grassland and swamp."
"It's better to give up. After all, the company is a first-level civilization. Open-air agriculture has little value and is easily affected by natural disasters." Ye Shuwen looked at the dozen or so Asian elephants.
These elephants were previously kept in a local zoo and have now all been released back into the wild.
To be precise, the new humans have withdrawn from the natural ecosystem of the earth.
Just as Ye Shuwen said, today's Homo sapiens corporate cities and the wild natural environment are two different worlds.
The new humans are too powerful and no longer value the role of obtaining food and materials from the natural ecosystem. Now the natural ecosystem of the earth only has scientific research and ornamental value for the Homo sapiens company.
Even the scientific research value has declined a lot.
After all, the natural ecosystem of the Earth cannot be used for direct biological experiments. You must know that the biological resources of the Second Pangu World that Sapiens is building on Callisto are much larger than those of the Earth.
The slow process of survival of the fittest in nature can no longer meet the needs of Homo sapiens. Only biological experimental fields like the Pangu Realm can carry out large-scale biological experiments.
Now the role of the Earth's ecosystem is more ornamental than scientific research.
Of course, the Science Division still attaches great importance to the wild biological resources in the Earth's ecosystem. After all, this is the origin of human civilization, and the creatures here are most closely related to humans.
Ye Shuwen, who was watching the elephants eating sugar cane, asked casually, "Ayong, what are you going to do? You have to choose a career in a few days."
"I plan to work at the Ceylon Spaceport and study for a doctorate in space engineering. What about you?"
"I want to get involved in the work of Yuanxing Group."
Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, then he thought of the group's business: "Are you planning to visit the alien colonies?"
"Well, after all, synchronized robots and real people are similar in the past. My parents will definitely work on Earth, and I won't have to leave home at that time. This is more convenient." Ye Shuwen also wanted to spend more time with his parents.
According to the company's regulations, in a family with more than one child, only one child can work where the parents work.
This means that once he gets married and has children, he will have to be assigned to another city.
This is a hard and fast rule, there is no such thing as leniency.
Although transportation is convenient now, the allocation is random.
It would be better if I were still assigned to Earth.
However, judging from the current situation, the company has gradually reduced the construction of new cities on Earth. It is obvious that this is to vigorously promote the flow of population to various alien colonies.
By then, Ye Shuwen will most likely be assigned to work in an alien colony.
