Galaxy Domination Guide

No matter how suspicious the Star Alliance was, all those suspicions vanished with the addition of 5 million square kilometers of new territory. Bai Zhongqi very cleverly sent dragonfly drones to patrol the clay plains and Elephant Trunk Island, editing the footage into a video that was released on Country C's media and internet.

Endless green forests, rolling clear rivers, magnificent scenery, and abundant resources—all these exhilarated the people of Country C.

At this moment, Bai Zhongqi was in Ruyi City's Lingxiao Palace, looking at various comments on the internet.

"Impressive, my Star Alliance. From now on, the official size of Country C should be 15 million square kilometers."

"I wonder when they will open immigration to Emerald Sea Star. I've had enough of Earth; I'm begging Iridium Star Daddy to take me to the skies." Explore stories at empire

"I think immigrating to the moon would be cooler."

"Then your nationality would have to change to Iridium Star, right? Moreover, what's so fun about going to the moon? It seems less reliable than going to a habitable planet."

"It won't change to Iridium Star nationality. I just looked at the Star Alliance's official website. Whether it's immigrating to the moon or to Emerald Sea Star, you'll directly get a Star Alliance citizen ID card and passport. That means, brothers and sisters who want to immigrate to other planets, will hold dual identities with both Star Alliance and Country C.

Strictly speaking, we will only be citizens of the Star Alliance from now on."

Most of the comments Bai Zhongqi saw were positive. Even though many people had no actual plans to leave Earth for another planet, they were happy to join in the excitement. What's more, the Star Alliance's interstellar civil aviation had now officially started operations, meaning that every person from Country C would have the chance to travel to the moon or the Centauri Alpha Galaxy in the future.

Bai Zhongqi then opened the official website of the Star Alliance Immigration Bureau, which was actually the former website of the Iridium Star Immigration Bureau, but now the existence of the Iridium Star Immigration Bureau was no longer necessary. A series of institutions that originally belonged to Iridium Star were now beginning to morph into Star Alliance institutions.

For instance, the Universe Army Command, the Finance Department, the National Security Department, and the Immigration Bureau—while the framework of the Iridium Star United Empire's various departments seemed to exist, in reality, they no longer had any authority.

After all, the true Iridium Star population was only a few thousand, and there was no great need to set up various agencies to govern them. In the future, Ruyi City would have a larger population and it would be just as well to manage it along with other Star Alliance citizens.

Iridium Star's main strength did not lie in its thousands of citizens but in its powerful science and technology, and above all, in Imperial Chancellor Bai Zhongqi.

Even the Iridium Star people felt that as long as the Chancellor was alive, the United Empire would continue to exist and thrive, even if every Iridium Star person were to perish in battle.

And Bai Zhongqi too wanted to use the Iridium Star people as seeds to spread the Iridium Star civilization throughout the Star Alliance, eventually blending Iridium Star and Country C civilizations to form a new Iridium Star civilization.

Therefore, when many people from Earth re-examined the historic framework of the Star Alliance later on, they were astonished to find that once the Star Alliance was established, it seemed that Iridium Star people had disappeared, or conversely, that Earth people had become Iridium Star people.

Bai Zhongqi was familiar with the history of interstellar civilizations in another universe that Iridium Star controlled. Some biological species on the brink of extinction transferred their civilizational achievements to a nascent, weaker civilization. When the new civilization grew, it continued the original one.

Even if the creators of that civilization were destroyed, their civilization would still endure.

This process was vividly described as "civilization grafting" by interstellar civilizations, like grafting an apple branch onto a pear tree's rootstock. The result wouldn't be pears but apples, and the taste of these apples wouldn't be the same as the original fruit, influenced by the grafting rootstock.

The grafting of civilizations operates on the same principle, with the newly formed civilization being a continuation of the previous one, but with certain characteristics undergoing changes.

Indeed, the people of Iridium Star held a strong identification with the people of C country, as it was the Chancellor's "birthplace," and they spoke the same Iridium Star language. Hence, the Iridium Star people considered C country to be another Iridium Star in a different universe.

On Earth, there was no experience with interstellar civilizations, so they were unaware of what was happening to them. By the time they came to understand, the two sides had already merged and were indistinguishable from each other. This was precisely Bai Zhongqi's ultimate goal for designing the Star Alliance.

After the establishment of the Star Alliance, immigration restrictions for the people of C country to Star Alliance territories were completely lifted. During negotiations, C country had hoped to open immigration conditionally, worried about a massive exodus of its population.

Nevertheless, the Iridium Star side did a lot of work and eventually removed this obstacle, allowing for unrestricted immigration.

Bai Zhongqi briefly looked over the statistics; just three days after the official establishment of the Star Alliance, the number of C country people applying for immigration had already exceeded the ten thousand mark. Young people were the majority, as the youth of today were full of adventurous spirit, completely different from the more conservative older generation.

Even if it was the vast universe, they wanted to explore it.

However, Bai Zhongqi also noticed that a large number of these people hoped to immigrate to Emerald Sea Star. After all, Lunar Palace City and Ruyi City were somewhat cramped and still relied on ecosystem systems rather than being truly habitable environments. People naturally worried that if there were any issues with the system, it could result in catastrophic disasters.

Bai Zhongqi could only smile at this concern; the reliability of the ecosystem systems was undoubted, and the safety factor for living in Ruyi City or Lunar Palace City was even higher than some disaster-prone areas on Earth.

The convenience of Ruyi City and Lunar Palace City lay in their proximity to Earth, with the commute being a matter of just thirty minutes. Many people planned to move to Ruyi City or Lunar Palace City for better living conditions, while also enjoying the convenience of visiting Earth and their hometowns.

They could even reside in one location for a few months and then move to the other for a few months.

This was, in fact, the original purpose of orbital satellite cities. They were not built for people to live in long-term but were meant for those who had to work there.

For example, Ruyi City would have bustling interstellar trade, and those working in related jobs might stay there long-term; Lunar Palace City was the center for lunar mineral mining, and those in such occupations would also be based there long-term.

Later advancements in technology meant living there was no different from living on a planet, but that's another matter.

While casually browsing various information, Bai Zhongqi received a communication from the Sacred Falcon.

"Your Majesty, the equipment receiving personnel from C country have arrived at Ruyi City."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhongqi laughed and said, "I was wondering when they would come."

In order to attract C country to join the Star Alliance, Iridium Star had promised a large amount of technical products and equipment aid. Producing these items was trivial for Iridium Star, which possessed terrifying manufacturing power thanks to Atomic Substance Construction Technology.

A multitude of unmanned mining ships and construction vessels could acquire resources from celestial bodies, including fusion materials, so energy and raw materials were also not a problem.

Unless it was manufacturing top-tier equipment, the cost of producing these items for Iridium Star was almost negligible. It was this capability to obtain resources and energy, combined with powerful manufacturing power, that rendered currency practically ineffective at the national level in Iridium Star.

True "Iridium Star Currency" was not really currency in the Earthly sense but rather a welfare voucher used by Iridium Star people for consumption and as a reward for personal creation.

Even the financial organizations from another universe's Iridium Star were not intensely interested in hoarding currency. Their pursuit was for more sources of resources, stronger technology, and influence.
