Although, the information Jiang Xingchen sent back made every federal executive feel very heavy.
But at the meeting, senior executives also came up with many ways to deal with it.
Among them, there is a proposal that makes everyone’s eyes light up.
That was proposed by Xue Qiang of the intelligence department...
"Everyone, can we think about it the other way around?"
"Since the Silver Light Empire does not want to attract the attention of any other civilization now, does that mean that no matter how we act now, they will not make any overreaction?"
"Even if...we expand our territory crazily, all the way to the border with it, we don't have to worry about triggering a bad reaction from the Silver Light Empire like before?"
Upon hearing this, all the senior executives' eyes lit up.
That's right.
Previously, because they were afraid of being exposed to this ninth-level civilization in advance, the Federation decided to stop external expansion after taking over the Sculptor Galaxy Group, and instead turned to focusing on development.
But now it seems that this is not necessary?
As long as we don't invade the Silver Light Empire, even if we are bordering their sphere of influence, they will probably pretend they didn't see it, right?
So, how big is the sphere of influence of the Silver Light Empire?
Take the Boötes Hollow and the core area of its own civilization, and on the periphery, there are countless subsidiary civilization areas.
If you add them all up, it's an area that spans approximately 900 million light-years.
The distance between the boundary of this area and the galaxy group where the Milky Way is located is about 290 million light-years.
In other words, in this direction, the Federation can expand 290 million light-years unbridled and crazy without having to care about the reaction of the Silver Light Empire?
After all, they want to develop rapidly and reach the level of ninth-level civilization in a short period of time.
Then there must be a larger territory.
A huge territory and a huge population base can ultimately transform more top talents.
With more top talents, we have capital for faster development.
Obviously, relying solely on the local galaxy group and the Sculptor galaxy group is not enough to support the Federation's goal of achieving a ninth-level civilization within a thousand years.

This high-level meeting ended up lasting a full day.
Subsequently, a fifty-year plan was sorted out.
In the next fifty years, the Federation will develop around three themes.
1. Population.
2. Scientific and technological talents.
3. Military power.
In other words, the Federation plans to use these fifty years to lay a solid foundation.
A foundation that can put the federation on the fast track of development.
The first is the population, although over the years, due to various federal policies, the population has indeed increased significantly.
But this is not enough, far from it!
Therefore, the federation needs stronger policies to promote further population growth.
Then there are the technological talents.
Senior officials agree that the current proportion of scientists is still too low.
After all, this is no longer the past era, when only a few people can become scientists.
With the development of brain-domain drugs, more people can join the field of scientific research.
Of course, it's definitely not forced.
So how to solve this problem?
In fact, it is simple, let the citizens of the Federation worship scientists like chasing stars.
Of course, this process is complicated and cannot be accomplished overnight, but that is not important.
What's important is that Su He proposed...
From today on, the entire federation will be proud of scientific researchers, and scientists will become the most noble beings in the federation.
No matter in terms of honor or treatment!
Moreover, federal education requires establishing various new concepts from an early age to support this plan.
The Federation itself also invests a large amount of funds every year to hold various feasts for the Federation's scientific community.
As for the media, they are even forced to have a minimum proportion of scientific research-related content in their daily reports.
There are many other policies.
In short, Su He wants to use all means at his disposal to label scientific researchers as stars, so that the new generation of federal people will worship them enthusiastically and all dream of joining the scientific research community.
Finally, there is military power.
The first stage is to lay the foundation, while the second stage is unbridled expansion.
However, in order to achieve this step, the Federation needs to establish a strong enough military industrial chain in the first stage, and it must also expand a sufficient fleet.
But this is the first phase of the fifty-year plan.
The Federation's own fleet alone has set a goal of five million battleships.
As for the subordinate civilization, the goals are even more exaggerated.
One hundred million battleships...
Is this goal an exaggeration?
A bit exaggerated!
So, can it be completed?
Although the federal fleet's own goal is somewhat difficult, it is not without hope.
The key is to expand the number of existing federal military academies nearly ten times.
Otherwise, even if there is no problem with warship production, the soldiers will not be able to keep up.
After all, this is the interstellar era, and it can be said that all soldiers in the federal army are highly educated soldiers, unlike in the home star era, where they can just recruit young men.
As for the subordinate civilization.
That's absolutely no problem.
Let alone 100 million combined battleships, even if there are more, we should be able to complete it.
Who allowed the Federation to have so many affiliated civilizations under its command, and the population of most of the affiliated civilizations was far larger than that of the Federation?
At the same time, for this time's military expansion plan, the Federation has completely relaxed restrictions on the elves.
From this moment on, the elves can apply to the military for more fleet shares, and they can also let more elves join the established fleet to serve.
In short, there will no longer be any of the previous restrictions.
The elves are still very happy about this.
After all, being restricted in this area will always make them feel that they are not fully integrated into the Federation.
------
Year 103 of the New Federation.
Unknowingly, fifty years have passed.
After the Battle of Balt, the pioneering fleet spent another three years to capture all the galaxies in the entire Sculptor galaxy group.
Since then, the Federation has stopped expanding.
Now, with the completion of the first fifty-year plan, federal leaders have also begun to evaluate...
Evaluate whether the next 100-year plan has met the conditions for expansion.
High-rise conference room.
Jiang Xingchen, who already holds the rank of general, serves as deputy commander-in-chief of the military, and concurrently serves as commander of the federal development fleet, also participated in this meeting.
At this moment, various departments are making summary reports on the first fifty-year plan.
"This year the federal population growth rate has once again hit a new high, reaching 21.5%. The total federal population has now exceeded 300 trillion, reaching an astonishing 308 trillion."
"If this growth continues, the current two galaxy groups will exhaust all life planets within 20 years."
With a population of more than 300 trillion, can we exhaust all the life planets in two galaxy groups?
Normally, this is impossible.
Not looking at the affiliated civilizations, the combined population would probably be 10,000 times more than the federation's 300 trillion, right?
But in the two galaxy groups, the territory allocated to them by the Federation is not even 15% of the total, and there is no shortage of space?
The most critical reason is that the federal policy is so good. The more children you have, the more land you get.
There are even some families where seven or eight generations combined have thousands of people.
Then according to the federal policy, directly allocate a planet for exclusive use!
Therefore, it has emerged that the Federation is now running out of planets to allocate to continue supporting these policies.
Upon hearing this, no one here regarded this as a land crisis.
And all of them nodded with satisfaction.
Isn’t this the effect you want?
If even two galaxy groups are not enough, why expand it?
There are still twenty years left, right?
Isn't that just right? The most important thing in the next centenary plan is...
