In the Federal Hall on the west side of the heptagonal federal headquarters building at the former site of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, countless flashlights illuminated Gu Xiechen's handsome face.
It has been half a month since the incident at Kronborg Palace. During this half month, all the federal media have been overwhelmingly publicizing Gu Xiechen's heroic deeds. The lower house of the Federal Parliament passed by a high vote to let Gu Xiechen fill the vacant seat.
motion.
With his dark, thick long hair tied into a free and easy ponytail, a crisp black tuxedo, a snow-white shirt, and a meticulous bow tie, the smiling Gu Xiechen perfectly interprets what gentlemanly demeanor is. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall.
Zero's figure was as tall and straight as a green pine, but with his smile, his tall body did not give people any sense of pressure. Everyone felt a spring breeze-like affinity from Gu Xiechen.
The long sword-shaped eyebrows pierce the temples, and a mysterious blue light occasionally flashes in the dark eyes. The straight bridge of the nose and tightly pressed lips add a touch of fortitude to the soft-lined face, and the corners of the mouth are occasionally raised slightly.
A hint of evil smile gave Gu Xiechen a mysterious and unpredictable charm out of thin air.
The Federal Medal made of red gold, brass, and silver alloy hangs on the left chest, shining brightly, and the exquisitely shaped medal attracts the attention of many people.
A 'Federal Pioneering Medal', in recognition of Gu Xiechen's achievements in discovering the Paradise Star. This medal was awarded by the Federal House of Lords ten minutes ago.
A 'Special Purple Star Medal of Valor', in recognition of Gu Xiechen's great achievements in destroying dozens of Roman first-class warships, was awarded by the Federal Military Department fifteen minutes ago.
A ‘Great Nebula Medal’ was awarded to the Federal Academy of Sciences twenty minutes ago in recognition of the bamboo slips presented by Gu Xiechen and his great contribution to the Federal Academy of Sciences.
The three medals were neatly arranged in a row on Gu Xiechen's chest. Since the establishment of the Federation after the 93rd Federation's self-defense counterattack, Gu Xiechen was the only one who could obtain these three medals at the same time.
On the light screen in the auditorium, Gu Xiechen's deeds were being played over and over again. Many of the shots were contributed from the battlefield recorders of Hardward Defense Company. From the time Gu Xiechen entered the Alpha Star Territory until he discovered the Paradise Star,
In the end, he gave the Romans a severe blow and used the most incredible and simple means to destroy dozens of Romans' first-class battleships. All the pictures that best highlighted Gu Xiechen's bravery, fearlessness, and tall image appeared like water.
In the past two months, although this kind of scene has appeared countless times on the news programs of major federal media, the scene was still filled with constant applause and cheers.
This was a press reception specially organized for Gu Xiechen by the Federal Parliament. There were leading figures in various fields of the Federation and nearly a thousand reporters from major federal media present.
When Gu Xiechen appeared on the spotlight-shrouded podium with a smile like the spring breeze and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami, the atmosphere at the scene entered a new climax. There were bright red rose petals falling from the sky, accompanied by countless ribbons.
The "Peng Bang" sound came out loudly, and the on-site military band played the "Great Federal March" enthusiastically and fullly. The high-pitched and exciting march made many people present couldn't help but jump up. They waved their arms and applauded vigorously to welcome the ancients.
Evil dust.
The youngest member of the Federation's House of Commons, Gu Xiechen, who has made great contributions to the Federation, officially appeared in front of everyone.
Standing reservedly on the rostrum, under the spotlight, Gu Xiechen elegantly swept a strand of hair hanging down to his forehead and swept the shiny hair behind his head. He wore the most reserved and elegant expression on his face.
Smiling, he was secretly cursing: "Damn it, the hair stimulated by growth hormone is not as good as the original product, why don't you listen to the manipulation? How long will it take these idiots to finish asking all those stupid questions?"
The President of the Federal Parliament, Jean Qiao An, followed Gu Xiechen on the rostrum. His appearance made the enthusiastic atmosphere almost explode.
Jean Qiao An walked up to the reception host on the rostrum with a smile on his face, and took the microphone handed over by the host. He waved his hand gently, and the scene quickly became quiet.
“Everyone, I don’t think I need to introduce you any more. Mr. Gu Xiechen, the congressman, is a hero who has made outstanding contributions to the Federation. I don’t think I need to repeat his deeds. All gorgeous words cannot describe his contribution to the Federation.
A huge contribution!" Jean Qiao An came over with a smile, grabbed Gu Xiechen's left hand and raised it high, and suddenly there was another burst of cheers.
"The great Earth Federation has gone through ups and downs for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, through the efforts of all our people in the Federation, we have solved the energy problem, we have solved the environmental pollution problem, we have solved the food problem, we have
By solving the disease problem, we have solved various problems that have plagued mankind on earth for countless years."
"But, we have encountered a new problem!"
"The population of the Federation officially exceeded the 50 billion mark at 15:32:38 on August 3, 2373. We welcomed the 50 billionth citizen of the Earth Federation. Little
Our planet Earth is facing huge population pressure, and the citizens of our Federation are living like sardines in a can." Jean Qiao An's words caused a burst of laughter and sighs in the audience.
Everyone in the venue became serious. The population problem of the Federation was a dark cloud hanging over everyone's head. After solving the problems of energy, environment, food, disease and other issues, the natural life span of human beings has generally exceeded one hundred and fifty.
At the age of ten, humans' physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, and their ability to reproduce has also been greatly enhanced. Although the Federation has taken various measures, the population is still increasing. Not only the earth, but also the moon is crowded with people.
.
"As we all know, although the Earth Federation has eleven colonial stars, due to the immaturity of interstellar voyage technology, the harsh natural environment and the existence of ferocious and powerful indigenous creatures on the eleven colonial stars, the total number of eleven colonial stars has
Only three billion citizens live there.”
Everyone at the scene lamented at the same time that interstellar voyage technology was immature. To put it bluntly, the transport ship was not large enough to accommodate more immigrants; the transport ship's engine was not powerful enough to travel between the earth and the colonial star faster.
The Earth Federation now has eleven colonial fleets. Each fleet can accommodate up to 300,000 immigrants at a time. Among them, the colony closest to the Earth only needs to fly in subspace for two and a half months, while the colony closest to the Earth only needs to fly for two and a half months, while the colony closest to the Earth only needs to fly for two and a half months.
The distant colonial star requires five years and nine months of subspace flight and three wormhole jumps to reach.
In this case, large-scale immigration becomes extremely difficult, not to mention replenishing various consumables for the immigrants on the colonial planet. Medicine, energy, ammunition for protection, etc. These resource-poor colonies
Seventy percent of the consumables on the star must be replenished from the earth itself, which not only limits the immigration speed of the colonial star, but also slows down the continuous environmental transformation project of the colonial star.
"However, all these difficulties were solved easily because of Mr. Gu Xiechen!"
Qiao An shouted excitedly, and Gu Xiechen took two steps forward, smiled and bowed to everyone present, showing off his modest and courteous gentleman style.
"Paradise Star has a perfect natural environment, rich natural resources, and a continent area four times that of the Earth. Moreover, there is no harassment from ferocious monsters and strange creatures. According to the calculations of the Federal Academy of Sciences, Paradise Star can easily accommodate three people.
Over 18 billion federal immigrants!”
Everyone at the scene applauded wildly.
"The ancient bamboo slips presented by Mr. Gu Xiechen to the Earth Federation Academy of Sciences even record the formulas of more than a dozen new alloys. These new alloys have unbelievable super properties. We will be able to build larger ships, and more
With powerful engines, we will be able to build giant immigration ships in space with a length of more than five kilometers. In the future, our immigration fleet will be able to send 50 million immigrants to Paradise Star at a time! Moreover, Paradise Star is far away from our planet Earth.
, even a slow immigration ship only takes one month of flight time!"
"A new planet, a planet with countless resources; a perfect planet, a planet created for us humans; a brand-new planet, a planet with countless opportunities!"
Jean Qiao An waved his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "Cheer, compatriots, according to the estimates of the Federal Academy of Sciences, because of the future shipbuilding plan and immigration plan, because of the future development plan for Paradise Star, within the next fifty years
, the federal unemployment rate... Oh, sorry, within the next fifty years, the word unemployment rate will disappear from the federal dictionary!”
When he said this, Qiao An's face turned purple, and with his face glowing red, he hugged Gu Xiechen hard!
The applause was like thunder, the cheers were like thunder, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into madness.
As Jean Joan said, a paradise star will bring countless new opportunities to the Earth Federation! Unemployment rate? Go to hell, if such a large planet is to be fully developed, manpower will become the most scarce.
Supplies, unemployment? Oh, fuck it!
To put it in the most vulgar terms, once 38 billion federal citizens flood into Paradise Planet to build new urban agglomerations, the demand for cleaners on the streets will be astronomical! Just cleaning the septic tanks of those public toilets
, can create tens of billions of jobs! Not to mention the manpower needed for the manufacturing and processing industry. To build a five-kilometer-long immigration ship, the number of screws required on it is an astronomical number. A giant
Orders for spare parts for immigration ships may be able to support dozens of companies.
Not to mention, the Earth Federation Army is currently at full-scale war with the Romans on Paradise Planet; when a cannon is fired, gold is worth ten thousand taels, and each missile launched represents more than a dozen newly created jobs and represents the GDP index of the Federation.
