Chapter 749: Old Friends
Imperial Capital, Sixteenth Planet.
The giant passenger spaceport, located in synchronous orbit, is as lively and busy as ever! Every moment, tens of thousands of small and large spaceships take off and land from here!
A large passenger spaceship from the central star field of the empire slowly landed under the guidance of the air service center, several hatches opened, and after the gangway was lowered, the rolling passenger flow poured out!
"This place is really lively!" A pleasant voice full of amazement came, "It's much stronger than our hometown!" ”
"Sister, this is the capital of the Empire! What can we compare to in the countryside? Another gentle voice rang out.
"Actually, the star field we live in now is quite prosperous!" The third, deep voice continued, "You may not remember that when my father was working in the Imperial Frontier Star Field, that place was called a remote place! ”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, and beside him, a pair of young men and women who had not yet shed their childishness, seemed to be a family.
"Daddy! I heard that you used to work as a diver? It's just that I changed careers later, right? The boy asked, "Yes!" The middle-aged man sighed slightly, "At that time, I was still in the northern frontier of the empire, and I went to sea every day for my father to deal with those nightmarish creatures!" Although the money comes quickly, the risk is too great! At that time, you were still young, so naturally you didn't know this! ”
"I was lucky to meet that person, and with his help, I made a lot more money than usual! In the end, he became a billionaire worth tens of millions! ”
"Wow! So powerful! The beautiful girl looked adoring, "Who is that person?" Your boss? ”
"Boss? It used to be! He replied with some emotion, "But there are more friends in it!" I also helped him a little at the beginning, and a rich boy found trouble for him, and I took a few strong friends to fix it! Later, we became friends! Oh he! But a guy with bad luck! ”
"And what about later? Did you quit your job? The boy asked curiously, "Why quit your job when you have such a good boss?" ”
"Of course not! Later, war broke out, and several countries on the northern side of the empire were invaded by foreign races! The situation was tense, and he was drafted into the Imperial Legion and went to war! He said, "At that time, I took you to the safety of the middle of the empire, so I avoided the war!" However, he also missed many opportunities, and later heard that he had become a big man in the Imperial Legion! A lot of old acquaintances have gone rich with him! If I had gone with him, I'm afraid I would have ...... now."
He shook his head and didn't say any more.
"Dad, according to what you say, if you had been following him in the first place, maybe you would be a character now!" The girl said.
"Yes! That was the worst decision your dad and I ever made in my life! He sighed and said, "In a person's life, there are only one or two opportunities to change one's fate!" It's a pity that my father was already worth a lot at that time! So I thought about washing my hands and taking you to live a peaceful life for a few days! As a result, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed! ”
"Now that I think about it, I'm nothing! It's just a pity that you could have had a higher starting point in life! Now we can only start from the bottom! ”
"Daddy! You don't have to blame yourself," the boy smiled, "We now have a fourth-tier ability, and we're a full member of the Imperial Ability Legion!" Just go to the battlefield a few times and make some contributions! Naturally, you can also win a good future! If you're lucky, you don't necessarily have to get ahead! ”
"Hey! Kid, you don't understand! Many times, opportunities are hard to come by, and they are just as important as hard work! He shook his head and said, "Dad came to the imperial capital with you this time, just hoping to meet your former friends, maybe it can help your future!" ”
"The friend you're talking about, can't that be the person?" The girl asked curiously, "What is his identity now?" Lieutenant General or Admiral? After experiencing so many wars, he can still survive, at least he is a powerful figure at the level of the commander of the military region, right? ”
"It is said that he is a first-class general, a big man in the Imperial Praetorian Guard Legion, and the specific position is not clear!" "But he's just another friend of my father's, and as for the ......."
At this, there was a hint of disbelief and reverence in his eyes: "I don't know if what Jerome said is true!" The sea of stars is so big, there are more people with the same name and surname! However, if it is true, it will be too ......."
"Could it be that the one I met was a real dragon? No wonder they come and go freely and unharmed in that kind of place! Even the creatures that the devil wanted didn't dare to provoke him! ”
"Daddy! What are you talking about? How can we not understand it? The boy was confused.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, maybe we'll understand later!" He didn't want to say more, so he took his two children out of the spaceport, and after going through strict security procedures, boarded a small passenger spaceship and flew towards the inner planet.
Looking out through the porthole, you can find that the port where they were just now is only one of the sixteen passenger airports on the periphery of the imperial capital star system, in addition to dozens of cargo ports, and an equal number of military ports!
But even with so many spaceports, the traffic congestion in the imperial capital has not been significantly improved! As a result, experts from the transport sector submitted a report to the Imperial Cabinet requesting the construction of several more passenger airports.
But the top management understands that such measures can only alleviate for a while, but cannot solve the fundamental problem! Because the current imperial capital is not just the imperial capital of an ordinary superpower! As time goes on, her popularity will only grow!
Ever since the Starlight Empire's power entered the Tianhua Star Domain, the Empire's war machine has not stopped for a moment! The huge army under the leadership of the emperor attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, and the soldiers pointed at it, and the canopy was wiped out! By now, the banner of the Empire has finally been planted in two-thirds of the Star Sea World!
As the capital of such an unprecedented, super-empire, its popularity is naturally unimaginably high! Every day, every moment, the rare products transported from the major galaxies of the Star Sea World to the Imperial Capital are of a wide variety and an astonishing quantity!
Enterprises, consortia, organizations, and individuals of all kinds who have come to the imperial capital in search of opportunities have all poured into the center of this Star Sea World like a tide!
The entire star system, even the entire Tianhua Star Field, as well as more than a dozen prosperous star fields nearby, almost every uninhabited planet that can be developed and utilized has been occupied by large and small business groups, and even the price of land on the most remote planet has been speculated to a jaw-dropping level!
In just a few years, the population of the imperial capital has increased several times! The maximum carrying capacity of the local resource environment has been exceeded! For this reason, the imperial capital government had to temporarily implement population control and access system! But such a clause that is contrary to the constitution can only be a stopgap measure, and if you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you have to think about another solution!
Recently, some experts have proposed that the top brass of the empire consider the possibility of moving the capital! Regardless of whether the Starlight Empire can unify the entire Star Sea in the future, the Tianhua Star Domain will no longer be able to assume all the functions of being the capital of this super empire!
However, moving the capital is not a trivial matter, and it involves all aspects of the problem! It was hard to imagine that the aristocratic officials who owned a considerable amount of property in the imperial capital would support such a plan! Even if it's good for the Empire! Countless entanglements of interests, thousands of clues! Even the current Imperial Cabinet has to take into account three points and weigh carefully!
Moreover, even if the capital is to be moved, there is currently no more suitable star field that can be used as the imperial capital! It must be a star field that takes into account many factors such as the natural environment, economy, administration, transportation, and military, and under comprehensive research, all aspects must meet the standards to be qualified!
One of the first criteria is that there must be no less than fifteen ecological planets in the imperial capital star system, or planets that can be transformed into ecological planets! This alone is enough to make the vast majority of alternative star fields in the empire's territory out!
The conditions of the Tianhua Star Domain were among the best among the nine superpower capitals in the past! To find a star field that is completely superior to it in all aspects, looking at the entire Star Sea World, except for the capital of the Bojiang Empire, there is really no second one!
Therefore, this matter can only stay at the stage of argumentation at present! In the foreseeable future, there is no possibility of becoming a reality!
The spacecraft landed in a spaceport near the fourth planet, and the father and son were allowed to take the orbital elevator to the planet's surface after passing through stricter security checks, and then transferred to a flying car to the city.
"Arrived, this is this place, get off!" The middle-aged man looked at the message on the light brain and said to the two children.
Outside, a large hotel in the style of the distant frontier of the empire stands in front of you!
"It's exactly the same!" He was surprised and puzzled, "Is this the inheritance of the man?" Otherwise, who else but him would be in this place, copying the 'Heart of the Ocean' on the Twilight Star? ”
"Looks familiar!" The girl said in surprise, "It seems to be the hotel we saw on the twilight star when we were children, and you took us there to eat, Dad!" ”
"That's right, that's it!" He said, "Let's go in!" It's not long before they arrive! ”
Whether it's or not, when you meet that guy, everything will fall into place! I haven't seen him for several years, and he really wants to see what his former friends have become now!
(Relatives went today!) So I'm only coming back now, and there's a shift later! )
