Panlong is a living planet rich in resources, pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, its diameter is about twice the diameter of the earth, gravity is 1.2 times, and 40% of the area is ocean.

There are no four seasons here, and the temperature varies with latitude, from minus 70 degrees to minus 80 degrees, and the habitable areas are concentrated in the range of 50 or 60 degrees north and south. Of course, human beings who can survive even in a vacuum are also difficult for everyone in other latitudes, but they can't build cities in the open air.

After hundreds of years of colonization, Panlong now has a total permanent population of 13 billion, with ten regional main cities and thousands of satellite cities and settlements, and even in the depths of the ocean, there are traces of human beings.

This is the main star of the Panlong Group, the most populous planet in the entire Panlong Star District, and the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire Panlong Star District. Although nominally subordinate to the federal government, the appointment and dismissal of ruling officials, the autonomy of fiscal taxation, and the independence of military forces have made it independent from the federal government, forming a de facto separatist force.

Because it is so far away from the Human Federation, even if the fact of secession is formed, the federal government is not able to take any military means against it. At a distance of four or five hundred light years, it takes four or five years for a labor expedition to run, and the long distance makes logistics a huge burden, and even if the entire Federation is exhausted, it is difficult to achieve the desired results.

Therefore, as long as the superficial subordination relationship can be maintained, there is no open rebellion, no communication and trade are not severed, and no tax evasion, the federal government is willing to maintain the status quo until it can no longer be maintained.

Not only Panlong Group. In the other direction of the Federation, more distant 1,400 light-years away. There is also a Transwarp group, which is also in the same state.

In addition to these large star field consortia. There are also many smaller forces, all in remote areas of the Federation, forming a semi-independent secession. The main reason is that the universe is so big.

It takes 30 years to fly from one end to the other of the huge territory spanning 2,000 light years, while the lifespan of human beings is still about 130 years old, and only people with relatively high mental power can live to be 200 years old. Thirty years is equivalent to a quarter of a life.

Who wants to spend a quarter of their life. To fight a costly war?

What's more, the universe is too big and has unlimited resources, and a random resource planet can feed billions of human beings. In the universe, the number of resource stars is measured in trillions.

There is an infinite universe to explore, and even the most warlike people have no incentive to start war. Don't talk about whether you can win or not, there is that idle time. It's better to build a few more resource ships, and the resources you dig up may be more than the loot you can get from winning the war.

The most important thing is that none of these separatist forces have torn their faces with the Federation. Everyone pays all kinds of taxes to the federal government at the 'normal' tax rate. Of course, regardless of the population or the size of the business. It is all counted by the forces themselves, and it is normal to have a slight deviation. For example, the population of Panlong Star is only 13 million, which is only more than 100 million in the federal account books.

Therefore, the Federation and the major separatist forces have long been in military competition. Transitioning to the tech race, everyone is trying their best to climb the tech tree, trying to get ahead of everyone else in mastering the technology that can break the balance, such as space jumping, such as antimatter.

Whoever can master these two technologies first will be in control of the future of the Federation.

In addition to the system and scale, there is not much gap between Panlong Group and the Federation in science and technology, and even in biotechnology, Panlong Group has great advantages, such as human brain array and biochemical modification of humans.

Today, Panlong Group has 16 standing regiments, 16 motherships in service, and another 4 under construction or maintenance. There are 14,000 other large ships of all kinds, 40 million soldiers in service, and 1.3 billion reservists.

Not to mention ordinary people who have undergone regular military training in virtual reality, civilian armored drivers, private security teams in major departments, private legions of major shareholders, and so on.

Because of the system of the Panlong Group, as long as the resolution of the board of directors is passed, all resources can be immediately tilted, which is much more efficient than the tens of thousands of parliaments of the Federal Assembly.

When the news of the attack on Aita and Lance reached the Panlong Galaxy, the entire Panlong Galaxy immediately boiled.

The Panlong Star Domain Special Affairs Decision Research Institute is located in the Tiance City of Panlong Star.

Tiance City is the location of almost all the competent departments of Panlong Group, the board of directors, the offices of the major directors, the secretary department, the R&D department, the security department, the logistics department, the personnel department, ...... and, of course, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of External Relations, .......

Lin Lin's various departments, with almost all the structure of the group company, but deal with the affairs of a huge interstellar country, except that there is no name of the country, there is no difference between this and the capital of an independent country, even the ordinary people and employees of the Panlong Group, have a similar understanding, and often emphasize their identity as Panlong people in private.

Panlong Group temporarily blocked the news of the attack on the colony star, so the market remained calm, and on the empty street, a black commercial hovercar left the traffic, turned into the direction of the Decision Research Institute, crossed the quiet boulevard, and finally stopped at the gate of the research institute.

The door of the hovercar opened, and the two expressionless biochemical modifiers got out of the car first, walked to the back door side and stood left and right, and opened the rear door. A tall, heroic woman in a blue battle uniform stepped out of the car.

This woman looks like she is in her thirties, she looks a little similar to Zhang Qifan, with neat short hair, sharp eyes, and pursed lips.

She is Zhang Qifan's mother Dong An, as a woman born on a pioneering ship, even if she is delicate by nature, she can be sharpened into a female man after a long voyage, so from childhood to adulthood, except in front of her husband and son, she will show a trace of women's softness, and the rest of the time she can carry a gun in battle and get off the boat to pick up the role of a wrench, whether it is driving, shooting, maintenance, navigation, fighting, ......, she is not inferior to any man.

As one of the few women with experience in voyage exploration and the attainment of species discovery, even in Panlongxing, she is a rare talent.

Faced with what may be the most formidable enemy ever, the Panlong Group had to gather all the people, gather the opinions of all parties, and make a comprehensive evaluation before deciding how to deal with this disaster.

Among these 'all people', naturally including Dong An, who was placed under house arrest by them as a hostage and has experience in sailing and pioneering.
