Bai Zhongqi's identity as the head of state was quickly replaced, and after the whirlwind operation, he met with several officials one after another, and made some "guiding opinions" on the situation of the empire, and in essence, the fleet was still following the previous policy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but it's not that he hasn't done anything specific, Bai Zhongqi has not been in the fleet for 24 hours, and he has already announced a major decision of the United Empire.

"Although the earth has been occupied by earthlings, the earth's satellite, the moon is still an undeveloped virgin land, although the moon has no atmosphere, no liquid water, not a habitable star in the strict sense, but the empire has developed hundreds of similar celestial bodies, and there is no problem technically." Bai Zhongqi used holograms to create a three-dimensional imaginary image of an Iridium colony on the moon to show Du Peng and Xu Lanzhou.

Du Peng expressed his support for Bai Zhongqi's decision, he said: "The fleet has carried out a certain amount of exploration of the moon before, and the resources of this satellite are relatively rich, although the metal minerals are not particularly complete, but they are rich in helium 3, and if you develop minerals here, it is best to build a colonial city." ”

The United Empire of Iridium has established colonies on many bonanza planets that are convenient for engineers to live in, and the scale is not necessarily large, but the life experience is no different from that of a habitable planet. This kind of technology to build a colonial city on a celestial body that is not suitable for human habitation is actually the technology of the space city of Ruyi City, but it does not need to make the city have the ability of interstellar travel. Colonial cities can adjust gravity very well, for example, on the moon, the gravity is too small for Iridium and earthlings, and it is very inconvenient to live, and colonial cities can increase gravity to the value that humans are used to. Coupled with the biosphere system, Iridium also has powerful microbial technology that can modify the soil at a very high rate to make it suitable for the growth of green plants. Iridium people can also raise various animals here, create high-fidelity weather phenomena, etc.

Bai Zhongqi's plan is to first build a small colony on the moon, about ten square kilometers. As the population grows, it is possible for the United Empire to expand the colony on the outskirts of the original colony, eventually turning it into a megacity.

Xu Lanzhou was very interested in the empire's first city in the new universe, and asked, "What name does Your Majesty plan to give this city?" ”

Bai Zhongqi smiled slightly and said a very oriental name: "Moon Palace City." ”

Du Peng asked, "Does Your Majesty intend to move the capital of my United Empire in the new universe to Moon Palace City?" ”

Bai Zhongqi shook his head, "There is no need for this for the time being, now the foundation of the empire is still the fleet, and it is more convenient for the administrative center to be set up in Ruyi City." ”

Xu Lanzhou said: "I've heard before that some civilizations set their capitals in Space City, but such civilizations are generally wandering civilizations. ”

The so-called wandering civilization is a civilization that does not have its own home planet and all members of the civilization live on the fleet. Such a civilization either has a particularly strange spiritual belief, or it is too weak to be seized from its home planet and have to flee. For Iridium, using the space city as its capital still feels a little unsuitable for the identity of the empire.

Bai Zhongqi also heard the meaning of Xu Lanzhou's words, and said: "This is also an expedient measure, the territory of the empire will continue to expand, and we will find a habitable planet that is better than the earth, or even better than Iridium, as our capital star in the new universe." ”

This is actually Bai Zhongqi comforting Xu Lanzhou, in fact, as an earthling, the home planet of the new United Empire, he can only be on Earth. And where the nominal capital of the United Empire is, Bai Zhongqi doesn't care much.

Strictly speaking, Iridium has less resources and conditions than Earth. Even among the more than 200 administrative stars of the United Empire and the habitable planets that have not been developed but have been occupied, Earth can be ranked high. There are of course planets in the universe that are larger, more resourceful, and have better conditions than Earth, but there are not particularly many. Of course, evaluating the habitability of a planet has its own objectivity, and some intelligent life cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment like the earth, which is more suitable for methane or even toxic atmospheric components to humans. Iridium and earthlings are actually a kind of intelligent life, so the judging criteria are similar.

At least in the first universe where Iridium is located, Earth is definitely a blessed planet. First of all, not to mention that a considerable number of intelligent races were born on planets with harsh natural environments, as far as relatively habitable planets are concerned, there are very few human beings like the earth, who have been tossed by 7.5 billion human beings to the point that traces of human beings can be seen almost anywhere on the surface of the earth. A common feature of most higher civilizations is low fertility and low desire to have children. Taking Iridium people as an example, the average life expectancy of Iridium people is 266 years old, and they will basically enter the aging period after 200 years old. But Iridium people are not much different from earthlings in sexual maturity, and they reach adulthood at the age of 18. It stands to reason that Iridians should have more offspring than earthlings.

But Iridians are actually much busier than Earthlings, and most Iridians have all kinds of dreams since they were teenagers because they were exposed to too many choices. Military, interstellar exploration, and scientific research, because the amount of knowledge is more than an order of magnitude larger than the amount of knowledge established by the earthlings, the Iridium people may only acquire the necessary knowledge for decades, plus the social security system is extremely perfect, there is no survival problem to worry about, so the desire to reproduce in the biological nature of the Iridium people has declined seriously. In fact, this can also be seen in the western developed countries on the earth, which are basically facing the problem of population aging and population decline.

On average, a couple of men and women combine to create a child, which is equivalent to half of the population of the next generation of society, Iridium people always feel that they are young, and it is nothing to wait for another hundred years to have a child, it doesn't matter if you don't have a child (about the same as modern people think that it is not too late to have children at the age of 30), even if Iridium has a policy to encourage childbirth, the effect is actually not very good.

Another problem is that Iridium is constantly at war, and there has even been an entire planet that has been conquered, and the damage to the population from the war is enormous. Tens of millions of people died in a world war, and hundreds of millions of people perished when the Iridians fell to a single planet. The earth has not yet invaded the universe, that is, it is playing with itself. It's good that Iridium can expand its population a little by constantly conquering other planets, otherwise the population of the United Empire of Iridium would even be in a state of sharp decline.

The development of technology also played an important role in this process, and the emergence of androids and androids completely made the Iridians feel that it was a stupid way to create a population by reproduction. Iridium people, who are efficiency-oriented, are more willing to use just a few hours to breed a android with various functions already set, or use genetic technology to directly create an artificial human with a brain controlled by a chip. As a result, the number of Iridium androids is nearly 100 times that of Iridium's population, and the number of androids is twenty times that of Iridium.

Even for the government and the military, how can it be as easy as trying so hard to convince a citizen to do a job or join the army, and it can be used to summon an android for hundreds or thousands of years, without paying any salary, and it is convenient and fast, and it will not ask for human rights to protest every day or something.

Iridium's interstellar civilization, which was formed on the basis of mechanization and intelligent technology, has lost most of its vitality by the time it reaches this stage. Many Iridium scientists and scholars have seen this problem. That is, Iridium has always had a supreme instruction from Bai Zhongqi, requiring them to do this and that, and there is a relatively clear route for the technology tree, which makes Iridium continue to grow, otherwise this civilization may have already encountered its own bottleneck.

Even if Bai Zhongqi didn't intervene in the crosshairs, Du Peng and other far-sighted Iridium people would definitely work hard to integrate this race into the empire and inject new vitality into the empire when they discovered that the earthlings/Chinese had an almost rare desire for fertility and a race similar to Iridium.

Only true human beings are the ultimate driving force for a civilization to keep moving forward. Perhaps in the eyes of earthlings, technology is the most important thing in interstellar civilization, but in fact, talent is. In the final analysis, technology is still made by people, and human beings who have explored the mysteries of the laws of the universe are the most valuable things in this universe. There are countless interstellar civilizations in the universe that have broken out in wars to seize a large number of high-quality intelligent life populations. It's just a river system with a population size of Iridium, which is the middle level. However, the advanced civilizations that have accumulated hundreds of billions or even trillions of people have all gone through a long period of development, and the development process of many races can be traced back hundreds of millions of years. In the process, there are countless civilizations that have fallen. Any planet in the universe with hundreds of millions of creative, high-quality intelligent life populations, in a relatively safe environment, will eventually develop into an advanced civilization (provided that it is not interfered with). This is not to say that the Earth will necessarily become the interstellar victory group of the proud universe, on the contrary, the future projection given by the Iridium AI is more pessimistic, and the earthlings are also defeated by the political structure of the planet due to the creativity brought about by the complex composition. The possibility of human self-destruction is far greater than the possibility of finally leaving the earth and becoming an interstellar civilization. This is also the main reason why many planetary civilizations with very large populations are finally eliminated in the "qualifier" stage.

Bai Zhongqi's decision to settle down for the Iridium United Empire directly on the moon and absorb the earth's human resources by gentle means is easy to be accepted by Du Peng and others, not only because Bai Zhongqi is the authority of the Führer, but after calming down and analyzing the problem, every Iridium person who is smart enough can see in it the great benefits for the development of the Iridium United Empire. Now it seems that the human beings on the earth are backward in all aspects compared to the Iridium people, whether it is physical fitness, wisdom, longevity, knowledge reserves, etc., but in terms of creativity, the earthlings are not bad. Iridium people have also experienced the current stage of earthlings, which means that there is great potential for development of earthlings. The explosion of science and technology on the earth in the past 200 years has proven that the earthlings themselves. Of course, Iridium people have always been in a state of technological explosion, which is unique in the universe.

Only Bai Zhongqi knows the real reason, that is, the Iridium people are drilled out of a magical game, and with him as a player, it is equivalent to opening a god's perspective to a civilization. Therefore, Iridium has completely exploded all the way to the technological explosion and military crushing all the way to today's development.
