Chapter 164, The Collapsed Earth Federation
The solar system is the origin of human beings, the core of Xinghan, but in the solar system, there is also the existence of the Earth Federation.
The Earth Federation is very special, it and Xinghan are all human beings from the same source, and Xinghan also went out from the earth, and this earth is the origin of human beings.
Because it is too special, the relationship between Xinghan and the Earth Federation has always been very delicate, and the relationship between the two is equal, but because of some early things, Xinghan's side is also very wary of the Earth Federation, and the two are only limited to economic and trade exchanges, and there is no too in-depth exchange in addition.
With the rapid development of Xinghan, the void within a hundred light-years around the solar system has been included in the territory of Xinghan, and Qin Yi plans to build this place into an old base for the descendants of Yan and Huang, laying the foundation for a more brilliant future in the future.
Naturally, the Earth Federation, which exists in the core solar system, has become a thorn in Xinghan's side and flesh, and Qin Yi wanted to discuss the matter of the earth with the Earth Federation a long time ago.
The earth was swapped through some conditions, and then the people of the Earth Federation were moved out of the solar system, thus pulling out this thorn in the flesh.
If it weren't for the fact that the Earth Federation and Xinghan were from the same origin, both of them were human beings, and there were still a large number of Yan and Huang descendants in the Earth Federation, Qin Yi would not have spent so much effort with the Earth Federation at all, and he would have directly sent a fleet over, and it would only be a matter of minutes to take the earth.
As early as more than a hundred years ago, the Earth Federation also discussed related matters with Xinghan, but the lion on the Earth Federation's side opened his mouth, and the asking price was too high.
A small earth, at the beginning, the Earth Federation not only asked Xinghan to use five life planets, plus two Xinghan's main fleet, as well as warp speed engines and other technologies in exchange, this asking price is too high.
Qin Yi didn't pay attention to it at all, and kept them cold, and this coldness was a long time of more than a hundred years.
More than a century has passed.
Xinghan is developing faster and faster, developing towards a powerful interstellar cosmic civilization, but the development of the Earth Federation is getting worse and worse.
The contradictions within the Earth Federation are becoming more and more acute, especially on the Earth Federation's side, because there is only one living planet, the earth, but the population has been growing rapidly, more than 50 billion people more than a hundred years ago, and in more than a century, the population of the Earth Federation has already exceeded 100 billion.
The population of 100 billion may not sound like much, and the population of Xinghan is all at the level of trillions, but the Earth Federation only has one living planet on Earth, and the starry sky around the entire solar system belongs to Xinghan's territory.
Not to mention that they don't have warp engine technology, even if they do, there is no room for development, and hundreds of billions of people are all crowded on the small earth.
But this is not the most deadly, the real fatal is that the population distribution within the Earth Federation is extremely unbalanced, although the population of the original developed areas has increased over the years, but it is relatively slow, and the living space and pressure are naturally not large, but the third world and underdeveloped regions.
The original population base is very large, coupled with the extremely high fertility rate, the population growth rate is very fast, the huge population of hundreds of billions of the Earth Federation, more than ninety percent of the population is crowded in the former underdeveloped areas.
In particular, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America have reached alarming levels of population density.
This is the most acute contradiction within the Earth Federation.
On the one hand, the population of the underdeveloped areas has increased dramatically, and land resources are extremely tight, and on the other hand, the developed areas are still vast and sparsely populated, and the life is superior.
People in underdeveloped regions demand that the Earth Federation balance the development of the earth and let the population be evenly distributed in all parts of the earth, but this is obviously seriously damaging the interests of the developed regions and has been strongly opposed by the developed regions.
Under such a sharp contradiction, for more than a hundred years, the general system of the Earth Federation has not been re-elected, and almost one has fallen from power, and there is no way to be re-elected at all.
Because it is impossible to meet the interests of people in underdeveloped regions, there is naturally no way to obtain the maximum number of votes, and once the interests of developed regions are triggered, without the support of these developed regions, it will also be unstable.
There is too much population, and resources are extremely scarce and strained.
If it weren't for the fact that science and technology have developed to a certain level, and entering the space age, space farms can be built on a large scale in space, relying on the high yield of space farms, and it is a big problem to solve the problem of feeding hundreds of billions of people in the Earth Federation.
The huge population has also brought a heavy burden to the earth's environment, and the earth's environment has become worse and worse, and various abnormal natural disasters have occurred frequently.
The development of various regions within the country is extremely uneven, all kinds of contradictions are very acute, and racial issues, religious issues, etc., are constantly testing the Earth Federation.
Because there are so many problems, and they are getting more and more acute, the entire Earth Federation is almost on the verge of collapse.
……
In the outer space of the earth, a spaceship imprinted with the symbol of Xinghan is slowly mooring into a space port.
Inside the spaceship, Lin Ye and Liu Peiqiang were sitting by the window, enjoying the scenery outside with great interest.
The earth is still the same earth, still exuding the halo of life all the time, the azure blue is like a sapphire inlaid in the void, very beautiful, the beauty is suffocating.
The outer space of the earth is also very prosperous and lively, at a glance, the entire void is covered by various space buildings, the most of which is a huge space farm, which is full of greenery, growing food, vegetables, etc., to meet the huge population on the earth.
In addition to these space farmlands, the asteroid smelting factories that were very common in the past have disappeared, because the asteroids in the asteroid belt in the solar system have been exhausted, and the asteroid mining and smelting industry on the side of the Earth Federation has been severely damaged.
The Earth Federation does not have the ability to mine asteroids in distant areas such as the Kuiper Belt, and the once glorious industry will naturally decline quickly.
"It's been more than a century, and it's finally back on Earth again."
Lin Ye looked at the earth in the void outside, and the whole person couldn't help but sigh, time flies, time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been a long, long time since he left the earth.
This is back to the hometown where I was born and raised, and all kinds of emotions continue to come to my heart, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
"If this negotiation is successful, it will be easy to return to Earth in the future."
Liu Peiqiang smiled and said, for the earth, everyone has special feelings, especially people like Lin Ye and Liu Peiqiang, who were born on the earth and grew up on the earth, have a deeper affection for the earth.
"It's long overdue to take back the earth, I just hope that these people in the Earth Federation won't open their mouths like before."
Lin Ye nodded, the two of them led a group to the earth this time, and their only mission was to negotiate with the Earth Federation and discuss the affairs of the earth.
The spaceship that the two of them were riding slowly moored in the space port, and in the space port, Hill, the head of the Earth Federation, personally led many dignitaries of the Earth Federation here and prepared a grand welcome ceremony.
The Earth Federation and Xinghan have a relationship, although it is not too deep, but they also know a little bit about what is happening in Xinghan.
Today's Xinghan, the Earth Federation has long been difficult to match, no matter what aspect, the Earth Federation no longer has any comparison.
Xinghan's vast territory, huge population, powerful technology, industry, economy, culture, etc., have all had a huge impact on the Earth Federation, like a giant, casting an endless shadow on the Earth Federation.
Lin Ye, the second person in Xinghan, personally led a huge team to visit the Earth Federation, which was definitely the biggest thing in the Earth Federation in a hundred years, because for so many years.
The Earth Federation has not known how many times Xinghan has been to Mars, but there have been no heavyweights on Xinghan's side to visit Earth.
The arrival of Lin Ye and Liu Peiqiang made the Earth Federation overjoyed, which may represent a huge change in the relationship between Xinghan and the Earth Federation in the future.
This is like a lifesaver for the Earth Federation, which is on the verge of collapse.
