I don't have a system but I have a hammer

"Let me first explain to you what the emergence of this human expeditionary force means! First of all, let me ask a question, how much impact does Red River Technology have on mankind?"

[Looking at the way everyone was hesitant to speak, I knew they were afraid of saying the wrong thing, so I simply asked and answered my own questions...]

"I believe this question goes without saying. Anyone who has experienced it will naturally understand the convenience brought by Red River Technology. So just imagine, if we can get more alien technology, will it be able to be faster in disguise? , what about entering a new era of civilization?”

"Secondly, after we have technology, what matches it? Of course it is resources! Just like although we have the ability to develop cars and airplanes, we still need raw materials to make them and fuel to drive them, but these things don't They may appear out of thin air, some require manpower and material resources to manufacture, and some require time to mine. So now the question is, how much of the various mineral reserves are left on the earth? How many years can we mine them?"

[Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man who looked like a professor wearing glasses suddenly raised his hand...]

"I have a question, Mr. Kiroji!"

"Please say!"

"That's it..."

[The professor stood up, pointed to several planets outside the earth, and pushed up his glasses thoughtfully...]

"The resources you just mentioned, I think this problem can be easily solved. Although human beings cannot carry out alien mining missions according to their current capabilities, the Hammer Gang can. We can fly to major planets and mine more The resources come back, thus solving the resource problem..."

"As for the issue of technology, to be honest, we haven't fully mastered the technology of the Red River Civilization yet. If more technology comes, I'm afraid we will bite off more than we can chew. In addition, there is another very important thing. …”

[He pushed up his glasses again...]

"The world's population is now less than [-] million. Even if we have more and better technology and resources, we cannot allow mankind to enter a new stage of civilization. Because the population base is here, I think the most important thing at the moment should be First increase the population base and vigorously promote the birth policy. As for the human expeditionary force you mentioned, I really..."

"Your question is great!"

[Looking at the old professor who looked a little worried, I nodded and stretched out my hand to motion for him to sit down...]

"Actually, I have already given the answer to the question you just asked, but you may not have listened carefully. As you said, the world's population has shrunk significantly, and birth planning should be vigorously promoted. But if aliens come again, then Can more people and fewer people change the strength of the enemy and ourselves?"

[The old professor's eyes narrowed and he didn't say anything. He just nodded suddenly. I turned the image of Venus closest to me again, shook my head and sighed...]

"In ancient battlefields, the competition was about military strength and brain power, but in modern battlefields, only technology is competing. Think about it, there were 70 billion people in the world today, and now there are less than [-] million people. Why? So now, the development of science and technology, or Scientific and technological strength must be more important than population growth!"

“But technological development takes time!”

[With the old professor as an example, another person also reached out and raised his own questions...]

"Especially many core technologies, which took more than ten years or even decades to research. This is much longer than waiting for a child to grow up!"

"Yes! You are right!"

[I picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and at the same time gave the person who asked the question a thumbs up...]

"So we don't seek scientific and technological development, we seek existing scientific and technological achievements. For example, the old professor just asked me, why don't the Langtou Gang go to extraterrestrial resources to mine resources? The fact is, with the Hammer Gang's existing Technology, if you want to build a space transport ship to perform missions, you must first master core technologies such as long-distance transportation, earth-breaking mining, mineral collection, and extravehicular operations..."

"So does the Red River Civilization have these technologies? Oh, of course it does. Obtaining technology, mastering technology, and skillfully using technology are three different concepts. Just like the friend just said, it takes time to master these technologies. Time, let alone the mature application of these technologies into reality, to put it in the simplest way is..."

[I shrugged helplessly...]

"If we forcibly build such a transport ship, then our construction costs, research and development costs, and transportation costs may be several times higher than the value of the resources shipped back at one time, and for the time being, we will not be able to use so many resources. It also takes effort to store and guard these resources. Isn’t this a typical thankless task? So..."

[I raised a finger and a light flashed in my eyes...]

"If you want a child to learn how to make a gun from scratch, it will take at least a few years. But if you give him a gun, does he still need to learn how to make it? He just needs to pull the trigger. is not that right?"

"So, instead of studying scientific and technological achievements, we should directly make other people's scientific and technological achievements our own. This is equivalent to skipping the long process of R&D and manufacturing and directly enjoying the convenience brought by technological products!!"

[Hearing this, the old professor who just asked the question couldn't help it. First he stood up with a hesitant expression, and then glanced at Xiaohong who was silent throughout the whole process. Seeing that she had no intention of expressing her position, he could only stand up. My scalp is nervous and I ask...]

"But isn't this an invasion?"

"Invasion? Are you mistaken?"

[Looking at him with evasive eyes, and the people with different expressions, I shook my head and smiled, turned my wrist again, faced their shocked gazes after subconsciously gasping, and projected a huge transport vehicle... 】

"When I talked about getting other people's scientific and technological achievements, when did I say I wanted to rob them? Have you seen this transport ship? Although it does not have the ability to mine minerals, its transport volume is completely sufficient, so we only need to go to other galaxies and find On a wild planet with the same conditions as the Earth, you can directly carry out mineral mining missions. Isn’t this more convenient than going to the eight planets? There is no need to consider the problem of extravehicular work, and there is no need to spend time developing mining equipment..."

[I patted Xiaohong’s shoulder again...]

"There are many wild alien planets, and the air composition and pressure conditions are the same as those on the earth. Therefore, our existing mining equipment can be used directly when it arrives there, and when we mine enough resources, we can take these resources Go to other civilizations and exchange ready-made high-tech products with them to enhance our technological strength..."
