Guide to Galactic Dominance

Chapter 102 A big granary

His Majesty, the head of state of the empire, walked into the conference hall of the imperial meeting.

When the head of state entered the venue, Iridium ministers stood up and saluted. Bai Zhongqi walked to his seat, nodded slightly to everyone, and then all the cabinet members took their seats with him.

Bai Zhongqi began to explain clearly, saying: "You must have seen the news just sent back by the Insight. We have discovered a new habitable planet in the Alpha Centauri system, and there are intelligent life with a low level of civilization there. This is very important to Iridium. The United Star Empire is a great opportunity, an opportunity to expand the boundaries of our empire."

Bai Zhongqi took a brief look at the expressions of these people, and found that no one had too much excitement on their faces. For the United Empire of Iridium, which had more than 200 administrative stars in the original universe, and countless stars for resource development, the discovery of a new habitable planet was not a big deal.

"Dean Mo, please give us an overview of this habitable planet."

Mo Laitong, director of the Imperial Academy of Science and Technology, nodded, cleared his throat, and said to the cabinet members: "This planet has been named Emerald Sea Star by Mr. Shuhei, the captain who first discovered it. This planet orbits Alpha Centauri B. The revolution period is about 241 Earth days, and the rotation period is about 33 Earth hours. Its volume is 76.5% of the Earth, but due to the density of the planet, the gravity is only slightly lower than the Earth, at 9.5m/s^2. There are three satellites orbiting it, all of which are smaller than the moon, which also causes the tidal phenomenon on this planet to be strong and irregular. Its Tropic of Tropic is located at 33 degrees north and south latitude, which means that its temperate zone is narrow and the tropical and cold zones are narrow. It’s a bigger area.”

Seeing that the old scholar seemed to be planning to talk more about the characteristics of celestial bodies, Bai Zhongqi quickly interrupted him and said, "Tell me about the land situation and local civilization."

"Ah, okay. This planet has a vast ocean area, abundant water resources, and a relatively low density of sea water, which is similar to fresh water. The land area is only one-fifth of the global area. Similar to the characteristics of most habitable planets, this The planet also has plates. There are three continents here, but only two continents are inhabited by indigenous people. We deciphered some of the languages ​​of the planet's indigenous people and found that the relatively high-level of development groups on this planet call the continent they live in It is called the Northern Continent, and the continent that is still in the stage of barbaric clan communes is called the Southern Continent. These local indigenous people have legends about another continent, which is the legendary continent that is currently uninhabited.

Northern Continent is located in the mid-to-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, covering an area of ​​27.22 million square kilometers. Most of the area is covered by ice sheets. The coastal mountains on the west coast of the continent block the warm westerly winds. The southern coast of the continent has a maritime Mediterranean climate, but the temperature and heat are lower than the Mediterranean climate of the earth. There are approximately 4.7 million square kilometers of plains and hilly areas on the southern coast of the Northern Continent. It is also an area where civilization has developed. The level of civilization and science and technology is approximately equal to that of the Earth in the 17th and 18th centuries. There are about a dozen major states, mostly monarchies, with noble fiefdoms scattered throughout the region. The population living in the southern coast of the northern continent accounts for more than 70% of the entire Cuihai Star, with a population of about 120 million. The race is relatively similar to the Caucasians on Earth, but the difference is also obvious.

To the south of the mainland are the desert islands near the Tropic of Cancer, which are barren and lifeless. Across the Desert Islands is the Southern Continent, covering an area of ​​24.42 million square kilometers, with large areas of rainforest and grassland, and most of the area is in the tropics. Some coastal areas here have better natural conditions and are home to more residents of the Southern Continent from the clan society period. In terms of race, they are similar to the East Asian race on earth, but their skin color is similar to the Malay race, but they are taller and brownish-red. The hair color, indigo-colored eye color, and facial features are also quite different from those of East Asians on Earth.

Because the southern continent is rich in gold mines and has relatively good agricultural conditions, the people from the northern continent have begun to colonize the southern continent. They have established some sporadic colonies in the northern and western coastal areas of the southern continent and plundered the people from the southern continent as labor force.

The legendary continent located on the back side of the northern and southern continents covers an area of ​​nearly 60 million square kilometers, which is larger than any continent on the earth and stretches across the northern and southern hemispheres. There are no humans living here, and there are many unique creatures living here. Here I would like to suggest the collection of genes from organisms we have never seen before on this continent. "

These are different ideas based on different knowledge backgrounds and considerations. Dean Mo is engaged in scientific work and feels that the local biological resources are precious. After all, Bai Zhongqi is an Iridium man who became a monk halfway, and he still has an excessive love for things like resources and land. In his opinion, the entire Emerald Starfish is an excellent place for colonization. Although most of the northern continent is covered by ice sheets and the environment is harsh; the rainforest and grassland area in the center of the southern continent is too wild; legend has it that there are no human footprints on the entire continent. However, it is this undeveloped land that is enough to host a large number of immigrants from the earth.

The number of Iridium people is now small, but the number of people on Earth is large, and it has led to over-exploitation and ecological destruction of the Earth. It is said that the mainland alone is more than 6 times the size of current country C. Not only are there the biological resources that Mulan is looking for, but the geographical environment and resource environment are also superior. Especially on the east coast of the mainland, there are alluvial plains formed by several rivers with water volumes comparable to the Amazon River. The heat and humidity are also relatively suitable. With a little development, it will be a land of abundance.

Du Peng said: "The eastern plains of the Legend of Emerald Sea Star Continent are very suitable to be turned into the granary of the empire. After the Star Alliance is on the road, we can provide countless industrial products to the Star Alliance member states, but in terms of agricultural output, it is difficult for us to To meet the food needs of more than one billion or even billions of people. We only need to move tens of thousands of people on earth to this place, and then supplement it with bionics and other mechanical labor, and use the best quality cultivated varieties. In just one year, we can provide enough Agricultural products in demand.”

Bai Zhongqi knows that although atomic construction equipment can directly synthesize food from elements such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen at the atomic level, even Iridium people prefer naturally grown food.

Moreover, in the Star Alliance citizen treatment plan, food and other consumer goods related to daily agricultural products should be provided to Star Alliance citizens cheaply or even free of charge, just like a large number of industrial products. A large supply of food is also a capability that the Star Alliance must possess.

Emerald Sea Star can just meet this need of the Iridium United Empire.

Moreover, among the information in Bai Zhongqi's hands, there was another content that interested him very much.
