His Majesty the Head of the Imperial Empire walked into the chamber of the Imperial Council. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The head of state entered, and the Iridium ministers stood up and saluted. Bai Zhongqi walked to his chair and bowed slightly to everyone, and all the cabinet members sat down with him.

Bai Zhongqi opened the sentence and said, "I think you must have seen the news that InSight just sent back that we have discovered a new habitable planet in the Centaur Alpha System, and there is intelligent life with a low level of civilization there. This is a very good opportunity for the United Empire of Iridium, an opportunity to expand the boundaries of our empire. ”

Bai Zhongqi glanced at the expressions of these people, and none of them had too much excitement on their faces. For the Iridium United Empire, which has more than 200 administrative stars in the original universe and countless resource development stars, the discovery of a new habitable planet is not a big deal.

"Dean Mo, could you please give us a general overview of the situation on this habitable planet."

Mo Laitong, the president of the Imperial Academy of Scientific Research, nodded, cleared his throat, and said to the cabinet members: "This planet has been named Cui Starfish by Mr. Xiuping, the captain who first discovered it. The planet orbits Centaur Alpha B with an orbital period of about 241 Earth days and an orbital period of about 33 Earth hours. Its volume is 76.5% of that of the Earth, but due to the density of the planet, the gravity is only slightly lower than that of the Earth, at 9.5 m/s^2. There are three moons orbiting it, all smaller than the Moon, which also causes the tidal phenomenon on the planet to be strong and irregular. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 33 degrees north and south latitude, which means that the temperate zone is narrow and the tropical and cold zones are larger. ”

Seeing that the old scholar seemed to be planning to talk more about the characteristics of celestial bodies, Bai Zhongqi hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about the land situation and the local civilization. ”

"Ah, that's good. The planet's oceans are vast and abundant, with relatively low density of seawater, similar to freshwater. The land area is only one-fifth of the world's area. Similar to the characteristics of most habitable planets, this planet has plates. There are three continents here, but only two continents are inhabited by indigenous people. We deciphered some of the languages of the planet's natives, and found that the relatively well-developed ethnic groups on the planet called the continent they lived in the Northern Continent, and the continent that was still in the stage of the Barbarian Clan Commune was called the Southern Continent. These local natives have legends about another continent, a continent of legends that is not inhabited by a human being today.

The northern continent is located in the middle and high latitudes of the northern hemisphere, with an area of 27.22 million square kilometers. Most of the area is in ice sheets, with warm westerly winds blocked by coastal mountains on the west coast of the continent, and an oceanic Mediterranean climate on the south coast of the continent, but cooler and less thermally than the Earth's Mediterranean climate. There are about 4.7 million square kilometers of plains and hilly areas on the south coast of the North Continent, which is also a region for the development of civilization, and the level of civilization and technology is about equal to that of the 17th and 18th centuries on the earth. There are about a dozen major countries, most of which are monarchies, and the aristocratic territories are scattered throughout the region. The population living in the southern shore of the northern continent accounts for more than 70 percent of the entire Emerald Starfish, with a population of about 120 million, which is ethnically similar to that of the Caucasians of the earth, but the difference is also obvious.

To the south of the continent are desert islands near the Tropic of Cancer, barren and lifeless. Across the desert archipelago is the southern continent, covering an area of 24.42 million square kilometers, with large areas of rainforest and grasslands, most of which are tropical. Some of the coastal areas here have better natural conditions, with more clan society period of the southern continent residents inhabited, ethnically they are similar to the East Asian race on the earth, but the skin color is similar to the Malay race, but the body is relatively tall, brown-red hair color and blue and daisy pupil color, and the facial features are also different from the East Asian race on the earth.

Because the southern continent is rich in gold mines and the agricultural conditions are relatively good, the people of the northern continent have begun to colonize the southern continent, and some scattered colonies have been established in the northern and western coastal areas of the southern continent, and the southern continent people have been abducted as labor.

Located on the back of the North and South Continents, the Legendary Continent covers an area of nearly 60 million square kilometers, which is larger than any continent on the planet and runs through the northern and southern hemispheres. There are no human settlements here, and there are many characteristic creatures living here. I would like to suggest that the genes of organisms on this continent that we have never seen before should be collected. ”

This is the different ideas that exist under different knowledge backgrounds and considerations, Dean Mo is engaged in scientific work, and he feels that the local biological resources are precious. After all, Bai Zhongqi is an Iridium who has become a monk halfway, and he still has an excessive love for things like resources and land. In his opinion, the entire Emerald Starfish is an excellent place to colonize. Although most of the Northern Continent is in ice sheets, the environment is harsh; The rainforest steppe zone in the center of the southern continent is too wild; Legend has it that there are no human footprints on the continent. However, it is this undeveloped land that is large enough to host a large number of immigrants from the earth.

Iridians are now few in number, but there are many earthlings, and this has led to the overexploitation and ecological destruction of the planet. Legend has it that the continent alone is more than 6 times the size of country C. There are not only the biological resources that Mo Laitong yearns for, but also the geographical environment and resource environment are also superior. Especially in the eastern shore of the mainland, there are several alluvial plains formed by rivers with a water volume comparable to the Amazon River, and the heat and humidity are also relatively suitable.

Du Peng said: "The eastern plains of the Legend Continent of the Cui Starfish are very suitable for building the granary of the empire. After Starlink is on the road, we can provide countless industrial products to Starlink member countries, but in terms of agricultural output, we can hardly meet the food needs of more than a billion or even billions. We only need to relocate tens of thousands of earthlings to this place, and then supplemented by androids and other mechanical labor, with the best quality breeding varieties, it only takes one year to provide enough agricultural products for the needs. ”

Bai Zhongqi knew that although the atomic construction equipment could directly synthesize food from elements such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen at the atomic level, even the Iridium people preferred naturally grown food.

In addition, in Starlink's citizenship treatment plan, food and other consumer goods related to daily agricultural products should be provided to Starlink citizens cheaply or even free of charge, just like a large number of industrial products. A large supply of food is also an ability that Starlink must have.

The Emerald Starfish is just what the Iridium United Empire needs.

Moreover, in the information in Bai Zhongqi's hands, there was another content that made him very interested.
