Chapter 323 314 Immigration Integration

With the Supreme Command in hand, even if Bai Zhongqi followed the Silver Feather Army through to other parallel universes, the Star Alliance was still actually within his control. The various affairs of the Star Alliance had already gotten on the right track, especially since many of the Earth's administrative personnel from the old era had gradually become accustomed to the operations within the new universe age. With the assistance of a large number of bionic humans and clear guiding rules, tasks became relatively simple to perform.

For the Star Alliance at present, preparing for a possible future war with Teizene remained the top priority. On this basis, the Universe Army was expanding almost without limit, with warship after warship being launched and put into service. The personnel size of the Universe Army had grown from several hundred thousand to over a million, and after Xiao Yu came into power, the next target for the Universe Army was a formidable force totaling 3.6 million members.

Of course, compared to the Star Alliance's current total population of eight billion (people from Earth, natives of Emerald Sea Star, natives of Lieque Star, Iridium Star people, Silver Feather Army, Feiju, and other aliens), this scale wasn't particularly excessive.

And even though the Universe Army's expansion was fast, it still couldn't outpace the speed at which Bai Zhongqi was feverishly amassing assets and churning out warships like dumplings. By this time, Bai Zhongqi had completely stopped worrying about whether there were people to operate the warships, because the number of manned warships was already sufficient, and he could play with a large group of unmanned warships.

Bai Zhongqi now planned to set up a batch of shipyards, ultimately achieving an annual warship production rate of about 1,000 vessels throughout the Danlu Interstellar Cloud. He also adjusted the ratio of main battle ships to secondary ships, achieving a ratio of 1:25, meaning that out of the annual production of one thousand warships, there would be 40 main battle ships.

Deeply understanding that in this real-life Star Battle game he no longer had the chance to reload a saved game, Bai Zhongqi did something similar to what he would do in the game, which was amassing warships with fervor, so he wouldn't panic in the event of an emergency.

Naturally, as a lover of the strategy of massive troop buildup, even if he made a large number of warships that were not used and just displayed in outer space, it was still quite a fulfilling achievement.

However, an annual production of 1,000 ships was basically at the limit of what the Danlu Interstellar Cloud could supply as a single star region. After all, even the material resources of a star region were limited, and every year the Star Alliance would recycle a large amount of material to ensure that the Interstellar Cloud was in a state of material recycling and regeneration. Of course, the absolute value of the constant material was still decreasing, but at a relatively healthy rate.

Bai Zhongqi could keep on doing this indefinitely, but he felt it wasn't necessary. A powerful military-oriented civilization like Teizene, which had been dominant for several hundred years, had a fleet of just over ten thousand warships. For the Star Alliance, it would only take ten years to catch up with them.

Before embarking on another expedition, Bai Zhongqi granted all the officers and soldiers selected for the new Expeditionary Fleet a 45-day holiday. Everyone had been very tired from participating in the war and was now being asked to depart again; this was somewhat exhausting the soldiers' energy. Moreover, Bai Zhongqi needed to make more preparations, so he hoped the soldiers could fully relax, spend more time with their families, and return to the life of normal people.

The Enterprise Carrier Cruiser, whether by luck or misfortune, was chosen to join the Expeditionary Fleet. Everyone carried out the final inventory check and maintenance of the warship, then disembarked and returned to Earth. Several soldiers took the ship to Emerald Sea Star because their homes had moved there.

Upon returning to Earth, now that the logistical distribution services of the Star Alliance were so advanced that they were unsurpassable, anything big or small could be delivered in a certain quantity for free. Taschwe's luggage would be delivered to his hands when he arrived at his home on Earth, convenient, fast, and reliable.

Fang Ping, the mother of Taschwe's daughter, had originally moved to Spratly Island on Taschwe's recommendation, but in this war, Spratly Island launched into the sea, transforming into the Homeland Titan. Afterwards, Fang Ping applied to move away from Spratly Island. Although the facilities on Spratly Island were advanced and life security was some of the best on Earth, the thought of living on a warship that could take off from Earth at any time and go to fight in the universe was unsettling for many people.

Fang Ping then moved back to her own continent, and under the arrangement of the labor department of Star Alliance's Country C, she became a teacher. The city where she lived was the southwestern stronghold of Chongqing, densely populated and with a mountainous terrain. Transformed by Iridium Star Technology, the city had become completely renewed, more three-dimensional, with various magnetic levitation tracks and holographic billboards filling the air below 200 meters, and gigantic mountains hollowed out in a single day to construct an abundance of entertainment and service facilities.

Large numbers of locals voluntarily started migrating to other regions, with over fifty thousand having moved to the Legendary Continent on Emerald Sea Star. Yet in reality, close to six hundred thousand new people poured into the local area. Most of these new residents were from remote areas in the southwestern region, living in poor facilities, where even getting to school required traversing mountains and hills, clearly unable to provide a better standard of living for these inhabitants.

Thus, the Star Alliance led the planning of regional central cities such as Shu Capital and Yucheng, expanding them on their original basis to accommodate more population. Thanks to Iridium Star Technology, even cities with tens of millions of inhabitants would not feel overly crowded, as the usable space increased and the cities became more three-dimensional.

As for towns that were relatively remote, technologically backward, and potentially ecologically and naturally significant, the Star Alliance directly abandoned them. For example, Sichuan Province had hundreds of localities completely dismantled, rebuilding the ecology using native vegetation to create brand new green mountains and waters. A vast number of people were then relocated to large cities with better facilities and services, such as Shu Capital and Yucheng.

In such a model of urbanization and centralization, the range of human activities was effectively forcibly reduced, thereby allowing other life forms and the ecology of Earth itself to have a better capacity for self-sustenance. Moreover, with the Star Alliance now mining minerals more on other planets, the reduction in the mining industry also had a positive impact on the planet's ecology.

Additionally, more people would be moved to other areas, with Emerald Sea Star and Lieque Star being the main destinations. Other countries on Earth, pressured by official Star Alliance policy, opened their immigration windows, such as traditional immigration countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Theoretically, Star Alliance residents could migrate freely according to their will and only needed to simply fill out a form on their personal devices, requesting the officials at the destination to provide a job. Of course, even without a job, they would not have to worry about food and drink; however, if a person were to remain unemployed for a long time, they could end up on a blacklist kept by the relevant authorities, and if the situation escalated, they might be compelled to work. It was considered acceptable by the officials for a person to work around a hundred to two hundred days a year.

After all, many simple, dangerous, mechanical, and non-creative jobs had been replaced by automated machinery and robots. The tasks left for humans had actually decreased significantly.

In practice, the Star Alliance not only shipped a large population from Earth to other Administrative Stars but also internally rearranged the population on Earth. As for countries with large populations and high density, such as China and India, which had been causing an ecological burden, they were now mainly involved in population export, while less populated countries were asked to accept population input. This was not something any single country could resist; the will of the Star Alliance officials was not to be defied.

Even though the immigration windows in many sparsely populated countries had been opened, considering the issue of regional balance, the Star Alliance would not liberalize immigration completely all at once. Immigration still operated on a quota system, only with larger quotas and more flexible and planned arrangements compared to the original country-based immigration offices.

The Star Alliance also kept emphasizing that, ultimately, the entire globe would achieve the same Star Alliance citizen welfare standards, so residents of third-world countries hoping for a better standard of living should not only consider moving to developed countries. This statement was quite effective in China, which itself was modernizing rapidly and, due to its homogenized society, seemed more appealing, so many Chinese preferred to move to its new metropolitan cities. On the other hand, India had previously been the largest source of global migration, and now its citizens had reduced their eagerness to enter developed countries.

Even though the Star Alliance's modernization investments in India were not lacking, the overall progress was much slower than in China. It was estimated that China could achieve full Universe Civilization modernization within five years, whereas India would need about twenty years to conclusively complete the process.

Bai Zhongqi did not intentionally constrain the development of other Earth ethnicities within the Star Alliance, and it was precisely because of his fair approach that many Earthlings recognized him and felt reassured.

Of course, Bai Zhongqi's plans were not for outsiders to know. After a grand integration through migration, he aimed to directly instill Iridium Star and Han cultural forms into the second generation of immigrants, namely the current children, so that when they grew up, their values would be those of Iridium Star and Han Culture, having abandoned their original religions and even many of their original customs, becoming a part of the Huaxia civilization.

This was not an unachievable goal. Take the second and third generation of Chinese and Indian immigrants living in North America, for example; they had already become completely westernized, with very few retaining their original cultural characteristics. A strong civilization naturally has this effect. Bai Zhongqi was not a racist, but a nationalist, and the greatest advantage of the Han ethnic group was its inclusiveness – to become part of Huaxia was to adopt the fundamental values of the Han civilization.

The construction of Earth and the development of its civilization were, in some respects, more important than the war with Teizene. But these were tasks that unfolded gradually, and with the extended lifespan of humans, such a golden age might not take too long to come to fruition.
