Chapter 251 Ruins, Population and Harvest(2/2)
For example——
Infrastructure.
In the decades since mankind entered the interstellar age, despite the interludes of colonists and events such as Arcadia, it has been generally peaceful and stable.
With a good living environment and UEG, Umbrella's official support has completely stimulated humankind's infrastructure attributes.
Netizens also gave the title of "Infrastructure Maniac" to the engineering teams responsible for different projects.
Since human development, the total population has doubled several times, from 27 billion in 2042 to 93.4 billion today.
Even Arcadia, which was once on the edge of the territory and had a population of only 270 million, has now exceeded the 3.5 billion mark.
The unprecedented vastness of the territory, the fleet of behemoths, and the extreme prosperity of the society make mankind feel extremely proud.
But what the people don't understand is that Lone Wolf and Celtic's iron-blooded home planet have unknowingly become humans' "neighbors".
Shirley, who had inside information, knew that her superior, her uncle Sui Bian, planned for the next stage of humanity, including announcing the Iron-Blooded Clan as an ally.
But she didn't know exactly how and when it would be announced.
However, she speculated that once it is officially announced that an alien race is an ally of mankind (Umbrella), then mankind will most likely fall into an interstellar war.
When she thought of a war of unpredictable magnitude that would break out in the future, Shirley couldn't help but sigh to herself:
"I hope peace can last for a while longer."
With that said, Shirley flicked her left hand to dissipate the holographic screen and put her computer in standby mode.
He glanced at the fault space outside the window, got up and left his seat, lay down on the bed and rested for a while.
Next, she will stay on the Punishment for nearly two days, and the jump voyage has just begun.

...
Thirty-eight hours later.
Epsom 8 galaxy.
There are five planets orbiting a star slightly larger than the sun.
The first to fourth orbits are all terrestrial planets, and the fifth orbit is a gas giant planet with rings similar to Saturn.
Shirley's upcoming destination, Epperson D, is in the fourth orbit of this galaxy.
Observed at locations tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The volume of Epson d is almost one-third of the Earth, even smaller than Mercury in the solar system.
Although small, the surface of Epson d is extremely beautiful.
The supercontinent, named "Irene" by the colonists, occupies 70% of the surface area, with two low-salinity oceans covering the rest.
The continent is covered by vast grasslands and forests, with thousands of miles of plains and rolling low hills, as well as thousands of freshwater lakes.
A close look inside the atmosphere.
Introduced animals can be seen everywhere in freshwater lakes and forests, enriching and improving the ecosystem.
Epsom D does not have the urban areas of Arcadia, Reach or other colonial planets, but towns populated by tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people, scattered on a supercontinent called "Irene".
On the outskirts of one of the towns near the ocean are orchards where various fruits and vegetables are grown, vegetable gardens, and pastures where different livestock are raised.
The most amazing thing is the seemingly endless golden wheat fields and fertile cultivated land for growing other crops.
People drive farming machines and harvest the ripe grains slowly.
Feel the warm breeze blowing by.
Listen to the intermittent chirping of cicadas in the distance.
The slow pace of pastoral life makes people involuntarily relax their minds. The comfortable environment makes people want to lie down in the fields and take a nap.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only this seaside town, but all the towns on Epsom D are similar, with almost no heavy industrial factories.
Grain, pastoralism, and abundance are the labels of Epsom D.
The gravity of the earth is 0.998 times, the atmospheric pressure is 1.02 times, the length of a day is about 23 hours, and there are 312 earth days in a year. The lowest temperature on the earth's surface is also maintained above 12℃...
A series of excellent conditions have made Epsom D one of the most productive and stable "granaries".
Therefore, in addition to the official name Epperson D, "she" is also called the "Harvest Star".
Shirley chose this place as her new working place, partly to help the company train new employees, but her main motivation was also the beautiful environment of Harvest Star.
The "flavor" of Mars Heavy Industry was too strong, and she had never been out of the solar system that much, so she applied to be the head of the Harvest Planet's intelligence department.
The capital of Harvest Star is Ordgar, which is located in the center of Erin Continent and is home to 400,000 people.
The biggest difference from other towns is that Ordega has an "orbital elevator" that really breaks through the sky.
The end of the elevator.
It is a large-scale transportation hub station that is consistent with the rotation speed of the Harvest Star.
More than a dozen cargo ships and cruise ships are moored in the peripheral ports of the hub.
Cargo and passengers can enter and exit the ship more quickly and conveniently through the orbital elevator.
now.
The Punishment, which had just left the fault space, adjusted the direction of the ship's bow as the jump exit dissipated, and slowly approached the hub station.
