Who is the intelligent race with the largest number of groups in the known Star Sea Realm?

I am afraid that even a kindergarten child can answer such a question: it is human!

Yes, from the intelligent race of human beings out of their home planet, Earth, thousands of years of reproduction and expansion, to now the footprints have already covered dozens of extragalactic galaxies! With the increase in the number of habitable ecological planets, coupled with the government's consistent policy of encouraging fertility, the population of the empire is also increasing!

Up to now, three-quarters of the territory of the Milky Way has been included in the territory of the empire, and among the thousands of star fields directly under the empire, there are more than 30,000 habitable ecological planets, with a total population of more than 15 trillion, not counting the population in those overseas territories!

Although the other two super empires are also huge in numbers, they can't be compared to humans combined! And as time goes on, the gap will get bigger and bigger!

However, compared to the astonishingly large overseas territories of the Chinese Empire, this seemingly extremely terrifying number is still just a handful of salt spilled into the ocean! Can't make a splash!

A lord whose career is in the beginning stage may be missing a lot of things, such as warships, techniques, equipment, potions, energy crystals, and so on! But as long as you work hard, you will slowly acquire these things, and more and more!

The only resource that is scarce and extremely difficult to obtain in large quantities is people! In particular, high-quality talents are extremely sought-after resources wherever they go!

You want to fully develop your territory, get as many resources as possible, and continue your expansion. A sufficient number of manpower is indispensable to complete this important process!

However, compared to the vastness of overseas territories. The population of the empire is still too small!

Let's say an adventurer who is venturing into the wilderness for the first time. Because of the green smoke on the ancestral grave, an ecological planet similar to the earth was discovered by chance! In ecstasy, the adventurer would hurry back to the imperial capital, report to the relevant authorities for registration, and officially become the rightful lord.

Then, the new lord will start raising ships, equipment, energy, and enough people to develop his new realm!

Everything else is easy to say, but the personnel problem is really difficult to solve! According to the calculations of relevant wise people, we want to fully develop such a wild planet. In order to establish a normal social order and ensure the ability to continue to expand into the surrounding starry sky, then it is necessary to have a population of one million to meet the demand!

In order to recruit enough manpower, the new lords had to hire or lure the people of the empire to work with various preferential policies, promising to guarantee the basic living conditions of their immediate families. Use this method to slowly enrich the population of the territory and speed up the development of the territory!

Unfortunately, as a newly discovered territory, all kinds of supporting living facilities must be extremely imperfect or even non-existent! It is impossible to attract many immigrants in the early days!

The lord had no choice but to turn to an organization in the Dark World: the Slave Trade Chamber of Commerce! It costs a lot of money. Only then did he exchange for tens of thousands of desirable slaves as his first batch of subjects! And then. It's just slowly developing!

If he is lucky enough to find more high-value resources, then he will have the financial resources to buy more slaves, and improve the various living conditions in the territory, so as to attract more legal citizens to work!

And that's just the standard for the number of people needed on a small planet! And in the Wild Star Sea, new wormholes, fairways, planets, and even star fields are discovered almost every day! They all need a sufficient number of people to develop!

How to solve such a huge population demand?

For now, there are only two more reliable options, one is the Slave Chamber of Commerce, and the other is large-scale cloning!

However, if human clones are allowed to be produced in large numbers and integrated into human society, it will have a fatal impact on the stability of the existing social and ethical order, and the serious consequences caused by this will not be much stronger than the extinction of the species! Moreover, the genes of clones will have many inherent defects, such as weak constitution, inability to cultivate abilities, not long enough lifespan, and so on!

So unless it's a very special time, the Imperial government won't allow too many clones to appear!

Of course, if the lord is very wealthy and does not care about the reward, it is also a good idea to use a lot of highly intelligent robots and cyborgs! It's just that there is not enough profit, and territorial development loses its meaning!

To sum up, for the vast majority of overseas lords, the Slave Chamber of Commerce is the most suitable choice!

The source of slaves is generally those poor human countries outside the Chinese Empire, the economic and technological level of these countries is generally relatively backward, but the population is quite large, and most of them are relatively poor, so they have become the source of goods for those big chambers of commerce!

In addition, some intelligent humanoid lifeforms, high-level cyborgs, and even clones are also on the list of buying and selling! As long as the lord has a need, he can basically find a source of goods!

On the bright side, the top of the Huaxia Empire and other human countries have promulgated laws to strictly prohibit human trafficking! It's just that in this era, population can indeed be regarded as one of the most precious and scarce wealth! In order to develop overseas territories, a sufficient number of people is an indispensable resource!

Although the behavior of those overseas lords is disgraceful, objectively speaking, it is still for the rapid development of the territory, which will help the overall strength of the human race to improve!

Therefore, the upper echelons of the empire actually turned a blind eye to the slave trade in private! As long as the lord does not deliberately abuse the slaves and cause bad effects, there is basically no problem.

There is no shortage of manpower in Xiao Junling's territory at the moment, so he will not choose those ordinary slaves. His target is those who have high quality and can be trained to serve as middle-level administrators, scientific researchers, middle- and lower-level officers, and even high-level people who cultivate abilities!

After noon, a black flying saucer with no logo on the outside left the Temple of the Silent Star and flew towards the wormhole at the outer edge of the star system.

The flying saucer traveled all the way, passing through dozens of star gates and wormholes, and arrived at the capital planet of Qinghedge Province half an hour later, and then arrived at the interior of a spherical space city with a diameter of 300 kilometers under the guidance of two armed spaceships with no way out.

After the flying saucer landed, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face and a uniform and several personal guards immediately greeted her.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Xiao Junling!" She politely held out her hand and introduced herself:

"I'm the head of here, you can call me Yuehua, according to the will of the Temple Elders, you will get everything you need here!"

"I'm so happy too! Ms. Yuehua! I believe that the next transaction will satisfy both of us! Xiao Junling shook her hand, then smiled and said:

"Time is precious, shall we get started?"

"Of course, everything is as you wish, please come with me!" She gestured, and a large hovercar immediately and silently approached.

Xiao Junling took Yu Xin'er and two Temple Elders of the Star Realm to get into the flying car with her people, and flew towards the depths of the Space City.

This middle-aged woman named Yuehua is the head of the largest slave trader chamber in the Dark World of China, and her family has been engaged in this industry for several generations, and her business network covers the entire known Star Sea World!

Due to the big business and deep connections, the Chamber of Commerce has the most complete variety of goods and an extremely sufficient supply! As long as there are enough energy points, customers can find anything they need here! Even if it is temporarily out of stock, as long as you pay the full deposit, the Chamber of Commerce will find a way to get it for you!

Here, intelligent beings of any race are available, such as musicians of the Yanwei clan, high-level craftsmen of the Monstair Kingdom, warriors of the Northern Hell Empire, beauties of the Qingqiu Empire, killers of the Ramsloan Alliance, etc., and goods with noble blood abound!

If the patrons are willing to spend money, even some forbidden goods will appear in the list of goods, such as the high-level sacrifice of the Northern Hell Temple, the stunning beauty of the Qingqiu Empire with royal blood, the senior creator of the Monstair Kingdom, and the like!

Of course, customers who dare to take over this kind of goods must be psychologically prepared enough to deal with the huge troubles that may arise! Therefore, people who do not have the corresponding strength and status will not dare to try! And this kind of goods is completely invisible, so it can only be secretly hidden and used!

Yue Hua led Xiao Junling and the others into a small square, which had been divided into dozens of semi-independent compartments, each of which held an unequal number of slaves.

Look at the large number of heavily armed Adepts around the plaza and near the cubicles, and you can see how important the goods are here!

Inside the first compartment are four humanoids with blue-blue skin, nearly two meters tall, golden eyes, and a row of fleshy tentacles on their chins.

“…… The silver-veined thorn scholar of the Monstair Kingdom is good at the design and manufacture of precision instruments, and his status is equivalent to that of a junior academician in Huaxia! A million energy points each! Yuehua introduced.

Xiao Junling was slightly shocked, and his heart had a new level of evaluation of the strength of this chamber of commerce, even such a high-IQ technical talent could be obtained, and this was still the goods in the first compartment!

"Okay! I'll have all four! He said dryly.

This kind of high-quality slaves, the number is naturally the more the merrier, he even has an idea in his heart, whether to sign a long-term supply contract with the person in charge of the chamber of commerce, as long as there is such goods in the future, there is no need to sell them, and it is better to directly order him inside!

Yuehua smiled slightly: "Okay, they are now your property!" There are even better varieties to come, and I believe you will never be disappointed! (To be continued......)
