Chapter Ninety-Five: Seize the Opportunity

Rockefeller saw that the matter had been negotiated, so he had no interest in staying, after all, he was a figure of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people every minute.

Seeing that Rockefeller had plans to leave, Wilson did not stay, his goal had been achieved, and being with this giant in the federal economic circles again would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.

So the two tacitly stood up together.

"To celebrate our happy collaboration, we toasted together!" Rockefeller raised the glass in his hand, touched the rim of Wilson's glass slightly, and then tilted his neck and poured the crimson liquid into his mouth.

Rockefeller, who walked out of the presidential palace, got into an ultra-luxurious maglev car, ignored the autumn waves frequently sent by his bewitching female secretary, closed his eyes and pondered.

Although the Rockefeller Group has the right to develop Mars, it is also facing strong competition from other families, especially those families that control Jupiter and Mercury, and they are openly or covertly infiltrating many of the Rockefeller family's businesses, especially in the fields of energy and starship manufacturing, and the Rockefeller family is gradually losing its absolute dominance. This situation gave Taylor Rockefeller a strong sense of crisis, and if his family could not find an effective method, then the Rockefeller family, which had lasted for thousands of years, would decline in his own hands, which was absolutely intolerable.

Thinking of this, Taylor Rockefeller couldn't help but feel very glad for his bold decision. When Wilson participated in the presidential election in the year 997, all the family members were not optimistic about him, but it was his own persistence that finally made the family decide to fully support Wilson and invest a lot of money in his presidential campaign. During Wilson's more than 10 years as president, these investments have been rewarded 100 times or 1,000 times through various ways and means. But these rewards are so insignificant compared to the document that I am about to get now. Not to mention the huge benefits brought by the leading engine manufacturing technology, if the family can firmly grasp the opportunity to control Proxima Centauri, then, in the next few centuries, or even dozens of centuries, there will be no opponent who can pose any threat to the Rockefeller family!

"After the documents are in hand, immediately organize experts to modify and upgrade the existing starship engines, and strive to build and equip a powerful enough starfleet within a year, and then send half of the family's paramilitary forces, and then secretly recruit some mercenaries to form an expeditionary force and set off to Proxima Centauri."

"In order to delay the discovery of this secret by the other families as much as possible, the necessary measures must be taken against Wilson and the military intelligence chief. Hmph, the amount is small, not a gentleman, no poison, no husband! Compared with the family's thousand-year plan, these people are nothing! ……”

Four months after the secret meeting between Wilson and Rockefeller, the presidential election ended, and Wilson left the presidential palace where he had worked and lived for 12 years. But less than a month after leaving office, he made a high-profile appearance at Rockefeller Corporation's headquarters and was appointed general manager and executive director of the group's Mars business. However, on the way to his post with his family on the company's small starship, he was unexpectedly attacked by interstellar pirates, under the fierce siege of the pirates, the starship failed to support the arrival of reinforcements, and finally a violent explosion occurred, and the Wilson family, in this pirate attack, all died!

Two months later, Zhao Dongyang, the former director of the military intelligence bureau who was at home because of Wilson's departure, had a heart attack and died suddenly at home. For the death of this general, people think it is incredible, in the era of such advanced medicine, heart disease is no longer an incurable disease, just like the cold in the past. However, no matter how suspicious people may be, no evidence can be found that it was a deliberate murder. As a result, these two former high-ranking officials with political axes died so bizarrely!

A year later, the engine researchers of the Rockefeller family successfully developed a new starship engine through the study of the contents of the document, combined with the advanced engine technology of the Earth Federation, and the starship equipped with this engine reached an astonishing speed of 60,000 kilometers per second! This means that in about 20 years, people can complete the journey that took the Atlantis more than a thousand years to complete! This means that people can travel long distances between two star systems in their lifetime to enjoy the strange scenery of the alien field! Combined with the intelligent control technology and medicine developed in the interstellar age, it can even make it easy for people to reach their destination in a long dormant state!

One day two years later, in the airspace of Mars under the control of Rockefeller, a large fleet of 100 medium-sized star ships quietly and silently left the base on Mars and sailed into the vast cosmic void. Each starship is equipped with 10,000 armed men and 100,000 civilians, and also carries a large amount of supplies. Many people were aware of this move by the Rockefeller family and questioned it. Taylor Rockefeller initially quibbled that the purpose of the fleet was to rid the solar system of pirates and create a good environment for human interstellar transportation. It wasn't until the fleet left the solar system and headed for Proxima Centauri that he was forced to explain to the public the fleet's true intentions. At this time, the major families suddenly woke up, but it was too late! The Rockefeller family has completely taken control of Proxima Centauri! However, the major families were unwilling to let this huge cake be enjoyed by them alone, and they joined forces to step up research and manufacture more advanced starships in order to save the unfavorable situation in this competition!

At a time when the major families of the Earth Federation were engaged in crazy competition, Lin Feng, who was a hundred billion kilometers away, did not know that one of his documents would cause so many incidents, let alone that things were developing in an unpredictable direction, and such a development trajectory would not bring good news to mankind, but a huge disaster!

Lin Feng's purpose in sending such a message is very simple, that is, to try to get more support from the Earth Federation, although it is impossible to achieve it in the short term, the successful transformation of the engine means that the Earth Federation can build more advanced interstellar ships, and the speed of human exploration and immigration to Proxima Centauri or other star fields will be greatly accelerated, and he can also get more powerful support!

It can be said that Lin Feng's idea is normal, and it is also supported by most people in the fleet. Living in a closed starship for a long time has made their understanding of people's hearts and surnames very superficial, so what they never expected is that the person who disappointed their good wishes turned out to be the supreme spokesman for the interests of mankind, Federal President Wilson!

Of course, they don't have the heart to care about these things now, because they are about to face the most severe test in human history!
