Chapter Seventy-six: The Future Development of the Blissful Realm
Page 1/3
“The Earth in the Bliss Space dimension has already suffered ecological collapse due to its enormous population; the entire globe has turned to desert,” said Song Guohua, who was presiding over the meeting. “According to Professor Rosen’s calculations, in ten years, Earth in Bliss Space will face a global famine triggered by desertification and declining food production.”
“We can’t just stand by and watch so many people starve,” someone objected.
“During these past two days of investigation, my team and I have developed some preliminary ideas,” Jack Rosen replied.
“Please, go ahead,” nodded the President of Britain from the Prime Dimension.
“First, we accessed the population data from Bliss Space’s database. It shows 26 billion people registered on Earth, but this figure is obviously inaccurate—the real number is much higher. Our preliminary estimate places the population at around 30 billion,” Rosen explained.
“That’s four times the population of Earth in the Prime Dimension; it’s no wonder the planet is overwhelmed.”
“And overpopulation is only one issue. The most difficult challenge is the depletion of resources in Bliss Space,” Rosen continued. “I mean all resources: natural, biological, mineral, and so on,” he emphasized, raising a finger for clarity.
“Without resources, there can be no large-scale construction. Transporting supplies from other dimensions is impractical—a population of over 30 billion, and Director Wang’s teleportation capacity isn’t even a drop in the ocean.”
“We could move the surplus population to dimensions with fewer people, like the Biohazard and Terminator worlds,” Wang interjected.
“We’ve considered that, but it can only supplement the development of those worlds. Relying on population transfer to solve the overpopulation crisis is unrealistic, and it carries significant risks,” Rosen replied.
“First, there is the issue of population quality. Director Wang, you should have the most insight here: although not everyone in Bliss Space’s Earth is bad, more than half certainly are.”
“If so many problematic individuals flood into worlds just starting to develop, you can imagine the consequences.”

“Then there’s the matter of family ties. We can’t bring everyone’s relatives and friends along, nor can we forbid them from visiting their families. If we don’t take all their loved ones, the demand for family visits will seriously hinder the development of other worlds.”
“But restricting family visits would seem inhumane.”
“Therefore, we must resolve this problem within Bliss Space itself.”
“At first, we considered building multiple space stations similar to the Bliss Space Station, but time is too tight, and the stations themselves couldn’t support such a large population.”
“We also thought of constructing super cities, extending living space upward as much as possible, and using the freed-up land to restore natural ecosystems.”
“For food, we plan to adopt the vertical farming technology currently used in the Biohazard dimension. For meat, to conserve grain, we intend to use the rapid cloning technology from Biohazard—cultivating meat directly. This not only reduces waste but allows for large-scale production in a short time.”
“Combined with vertical farming, we can maximize space utilization.”
“But the most critical factor is population control,” Rosen explained vividly, his words supported by various calculations, data, and images displayed behind him, leaving the audience convinced.
“Where will the resources to realize all this come from? Bliss Space’s Earth has exhausted its mineral resources; it can’t support construction for over 30 billion people,” Wang inquired.
“We have a solution: asteroid mining. I don’t know why, with their advanced space travel technology, they didn’t continue to develop in space; instead, they foolishly exhausted everything to build a ‘Happy Nest’ in orbit!”
“Nevertheless, that space station isn’t entirely useless. We can transform it into a comprehensive space port—for shipbuilding, asteroid mining, refining, and processing—all within Bliss Space.”
“But initially, we’ll need to invest in it, which will take about half a year.”
“Do you have a detailed plan?” asked the leader from Tenglong Nation in the Prime Dimension.
Rosen responded somewhat awkwardly, “Due to time constraints, the details aren’t finalized yet, but give me a week, and my team will deliver a proposal that will satisfy everyone.”

“But I’ll need the active cooperation of all departments,” Rosen added as a final note.
After Rosen finished, the governments of both dimensions conferred and agreed to his plan.
In the days that followed, Wang was busier than ever. Massive amounts of supplies were transported to the Bliss Space Station, including large quantities of engineering equipment and construction personnel.
Notably, with the help of Bliss Space’s robots, the pace of transformation was much faster than originally anticipated. Robots took over much of the manual labor, even handling some moderately complex tasks as assistants.
To ease the burden on the workers, the station deliberately slowed its rotation to reduce gravity, making it easier for humans to move materials. The robots, meanwhile, could carry even heavier loads, boosting overall efficiency.
Jack Rosen shuttled between the Wandering Earth dimension, Biohazard dimension, and the Prime Dimension. The design of the giant cities was a specialty of the Wandering Earth dimension—after all, if they could build planetary engines taller than Everest, constructing skyscrapers was easy, especially with Moos’s help, which allowed simulations of all kinds of natural disasters to ensure the designs had no fatal flaws.
Vertical farming was the forte of the Prime Dimension, or more specifically, Tenglong Nation. This technology had been used in the Biohazard dimension for almost a year and was already quite mature.
Cloning technology was the signature achievement of the Biohazard dimension. Since only specific muscle cells needed cultivation rather than entire organisms, the technical difficulty was far lower than human cloning.
For the crucial energy issue, Rosen chose existing fusion technology, with helium-3 supplied initially by the Prime Dimension and later by a mining base on the moon in Bliss Space.
Of course, these were just some of the many aspects requiring organization and planning, but Rosen delegated all these tasks to others.
