"This ......" Lin Feng's face showed a look of embarrassment. Although he still retains absolute loyalty to the Federation, he has not been able to experience Colnan and Richard? After the Rockefeller incident, he had instinctively become wary of federal politicians. You must know that it was precisely because of the ** of former Federal President Wilson that the fleet of the Rockefeller family was led to Aden, which brought extremely serious losses to the expedition fleet, and even almost made the fleet's thousand-year-old voyage a wedding dress for those nobles. With these lessons learned, he appears to be more cautious, and at least for now, he will not unreservedly trust the president. Because he didn't know if the president in front of him was also the spokesman for the interests of a certain family in the Federation.

As soon as Chen Zhenbang saw Lin Feng's hesitant look, he knew that the other party was still wary of himself, the president of the Federation, but he didn't mind. As a veteran politician who has dominated the political arena for decades, he has seen too many such scenes, and even more brutal struggles are not uncommon. He just smiled and then changed the subject.

"Commander Lin, since it is inconvenient for you to disclose, there is no need to be embarrassed. However, I still want to take the liberty of asking, I wonder what is the purpose of you leading the fleet back to Earth? Chen Zhenbang seemed very sincere, he still had great expectations for the return of the Voyage Fleet, maybe they could really surprise the Federation.

"That's right. More than 10 years ago, after a lot of hardship, we finally managed to reach Proxima Centauri and found a living planet, which Captain Bruce named Aden. After successfully landing on Aden, after a hard battle, he defeated the native behemoths, thus gaining a foothold on it. I'll give you a copy of the information about Aden in a moment. ”

"We have always kept in mind the mission of the Expeditionary Fleet, and after some research, we have found that Aden has many valuable resources, and the minerals are extremely rich, and it is a vast area, which is very suitable for interstellar migration. Moreover, for the development of this living planet, it is difficult to make a difference by relying only on the hundreds of thousands of people in the fleet. Although Aden's environment is much more difficult than that of Earth, it is an excellent solution to many of humanity's problems. So, we thought of returning to Earth and seeking cooperation with the federal political axe. ”

Chen Zhenbang listened very carefully, but his face became more and more excited and excited. Sure enough, the return of this fleet really brought a great surprise to himself.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Chen Zhenbang asked Lin Feng: "Commander Lin, I don't know what you mean by cooperation?" ”

"We will recruit immigrant volunteers throughout the Federation, and we are willing to work with the Federation to mine the mineral resources of Aden to solve the population and resource crisis of the Federation!"

"And how many immigrants do you need to recruit? And in what way will these be moved to Aden? Chen Zhenbang's tone clearly showed his inner doubts. Although it is a great thing to be able to emigrate to Aden, with these twenty starships, how many immigrants can be transported. If only 10 million or 20 million, or even hundreds of millions of immigrants, it will be difficult to solve the current population crisis of the Federation. You know, counting the population of the major planets in the solar system, the total number has now reached more than 60 billion! And that's not even adding to those homeless homeless people. Even if 500 million immigrants to Aden can only be said to temporarily alleviate the huge population pressure, for the current situation of the Earth Federation, reducing the population by one or two hundred million will not bring much difference at all.

"I have made a preliminary estimate that for the initial development of Aden, at least one billion immigrants will be needed! And as the development continues to deepen, the number of immigrants needed will increase. According to the calculations of the Chinese and British computers, in order to make Aden Star at a relatively ideal development speed, the total number of immigrants needed is more than 5 billion! ”

Listening to the figures reported by Lin Feng, Chen Zhenbang couldn't help but be taken aback. Early development requires one billion immigrants, while full development requires five billion people, which is equivalent to solving one-twelfth of the population of the Earth Federation at once! This is not a small amount, and it will have an immeasurable impact on the entire Federation.

"Fifty...... Billion!? Commander Lin, you're not wrong, are you? Chen Zhenbang said deliciously.

"Five billion is just a conservative number! I think, Mr. President, you won't be reluctant, right? I've taken so much of the pressure off you! Think about it, the food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, medical care, and employment of these five billion people are not so easy to solve. Lin Feng looked at Chen Zhenbang's hesitant look, and hurriedly persuaded him, for fear that the president would not agree.

"It's not that I'm reluctant. These people, no matter where they go, are still citizens of the Federation, right? I'm worried, with your twenty starships, will it take too long to transport so many immigrants and cross such a long distance? If it takes a generation or two to sail, the cost will be very high. I am afraid that by then the crisis of the Federation has already broken out, and any more immigration will not help much. ”

"Mr. President was worried about this. Rest assured, since we have made this immigration plan, we are naturally well prepared. As long as these immigrants go through the formalities and board our starship, they will soon arrive on Aden. Lin Feng smiled and said disapprerovingly.

"Soon? Your twenty starships can carry a maximum of two million people at a time, and they will have to travel a distance of 4.5 light years, and even if you travel at the speed of light, it will take hundreds of years to immigrate a billion. Chen Zhenbang still said with doubts.

"Looks like you still don't believe me. Then let's wait and see. Oh, by the way, you must know a lot about the Rockefellers, right? ”

"The Rockefellers? Why did you mention this family? Chen Zhenbang was stunned, the jump in the thinking of this fleet commander was too big, why did he suddenly mention the richest and most difficult family in the Federation?

"Hehe, nothing. I just want to find out, and I don't mean anything else. If you don't mind, can you give me a copy of all the family information in the Federation? ”

Chen Zhenbang hesitated again. For these families, he is a headache as president. With a large amount of wealth, control of important industries of the Federation, and their own territory, they have trained a large number of family paramilitary forces, and they are all the same kingdom of Reading, which is basically not subject to the checks and balances of the Federation. If this Lin Feng hooked up with them again and worked closely with each other, it would definitely be a disaster for the Federation. No, you have to test this Lin Feng's attitude towards the family before you can make a decision.

"Why do you care so much about these families? Moreover, you have just returned to Earth, how do you know that the Federation has a so-called family power? ”

"Hehe, because this so-called Rockefeller family was involved in a defection of our fleet. I'll have to ask them for an explanation! An imperceptible light in Lin Feng's eyes flashed away, but Chen Zhenbang was so shrewd that he immediately caught the change in Lin Feng's eyes, and then contacted the cold meaning in his words, he had already faintly sensed something. But he was a little puzzled, the distance between them was not ordinarily far away, how could there be any intersection? Isn't that a fantasy?

"How is this possible? How could there be contact between you? ”

"Did the Union ever have a president named Wilson?"

"Yes, there were. He was the one hundred and ninety-fifth President of the Federation. He stepped down in the year 1002 and became the general manager of the Rockefeller family on Mars less than half a month after he stepped down. It's a pity that his luck was not good, and he encountered an interstellar pirate on his voyage to Mars, and his family was killed! Speaking of the predecessor, Chen Zhenbang couldn't help but sigh a little embarrassed.

Wilson's bizarre death has always been a thorn in the heart of the federal axe, and for many years of continuous investigation, no conclusive evidence of murder has been found. Although the search is still ongoing, there is no longer any hope that the truth will be found. (To be continued.) )
