Chapter 1427: Chapter 733: Shenxia 9—Lihen’s Final Preparations for the 10th Rank (Part 2)

Even so, this cost, after being diminished countless times, would still profoundly impact the entire Torch Civilization if it eventually comes to this outcome.

Because hundreds of billions of Torch citizens would experience significant turmoil as a result.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed since the post-war partitioning conference concluded.

In the territory of the Torch Civilization, at the border area between the Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster and the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Galaxy Cluster.

In the vast blackness of space, thousands of large standard "Kunpeng Class" starships are shuttling through the space corridor.

Starship communication channel:

"Old He, what do you think, are you planning to continue after this round ends?"

"Nonsense, we’re just getting started, aren’t we? The Dragon Spine Kingdom is newly established, and now the Song Family is vigorously encouraging domestic citizens to participate in the second round of interstellar migration. The rewards for each transport cycle are much higher than before. If you don’t save up some money during this opportunity, where will you find a way to regret it after the bonus period is over?"

"It’s not that exaggerated. I heard that the wormhole corridor leads to another River System, with a diameter over 1.2 million light-years. According to my Guardian Ship Captain’s uncle, this migration plan will last at least several hundred years."

Hearing this, the man known as Old He on the old "Kunpeng" Transport Starship’s expression turned contemplative, genuinely considering the information.

He knew the uncle mentioned by his friend, who indeed was a significant figure at the rank of Guardian Ship Captain. Even the big boss who organized their joint transport fleet had to personally greet him whenever they met.

So in his view, these words carried considerable credibility.

"Dragon Brother, are you sure you didn’t hear wrong?"

"What are you talking about? Don’t you know what kind of person I am, Old He?"

"Furthermore, I also heard that the Song Family had already implemented several preferential policies a few years ago, targeting those who voluntarily settled in the {Dragon and Snake River System}. It’s said that as long as someone is willing, the Song Family not only offers jobs but also provides the opportunity for settlers’ children to receive education at public Torch Academy once they reach a certain age, receiving the best education."

"Old He, if you ask me, you might as well take the initiative, propose to Zhao Qin, and then apply to immigrate to the {Dragon and Snake River System}. This way, you won’t delay your work, and you can provide a good learning opportunity for your future children. If the descendants are excellent enough, once the wave of great migration bonuses ends, perhaps a new emerging Torch He family will appear in the {Dragon and Snake River System}."

...

Hearing this, the middle-aged man known as Old He had a quick change of expression in his eyes, clearly taking these words to heart.

The two continued to chat for a while, with Old He finally declaring decisively:

"Alright, once I return this time, I’ll propose to Sister Qin and directly immigrate to the Dragon and Snake River System. However, Dragon Brother, do you have any special connections? Give your younger brother some tips."

"That’s simple, leave it to me..."

After some exchange, the man addressed as Dragon Brother cut off the transmission, and the moment he did, his expression relaxed considerably.

"The twenty-fifth household, settled, and judging by the subtle interest shown in the group chat by the dozen others, there may be unexpected gains later on."

Saying this, he actively used the Quantum Communication Bracelet to send a task completion message to the newest Kunpeng Transport Ship at the forefront of the transport fleet.

All of this was actually a covert strategy by the Song Family. Whether it was him, the boss who organized the transport fleet, or even his uncle, all were part of a hidden plan aimed not just at these people in the current fleet, but hundreds and thousands of Dragon Spine Kingdom citizens with interests tied to the fleet.

And the Song Family had mobilized millions like them over recent years in the Dragon Spine.

The reason for this was, of course, to develop the entire {Dragon and Snake River System} better and faster.

As the saying goes, relying solely on the Song Family itself, developing a River System with a nearly 1.3 million light-year diameter is not impossible, but it would take tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, which is far too inefficient.

It’s important to note, the entire Torch Human Civilization has only been developing for just over 300,000 years. For a large, thriving force, this is definitely unacceptable.

Comparatively, relinquishing a trivial part of the benefits to mobilize the entire kingdom’s citizens for joint development, with the major share of the eventual output going to the Song Family as the proprietor, is the most perfect approach.

Indeed, the Song Family has consistently developed following this approach.

However, by directly acquiring the territory of a medium-to-large River System this time, merely relying on policy guidance is far from enough, which is why the Song Family has had to further mobilize people secretly.

But, let’s be honest, the fruits of their efforts over the past few decades have been very promising.

Apart from nearly a billion family members of the Song Family that immigrated, the number of kingdom citizens surpasses 100 billion. Although this is still a drop in the ocean for a River System spanning over 1.2 million light-years, the results are evident for all to see.

In the view of the Song Family’s higher-ups, they only need to hold on for a few more centuries, at which point the entire Dragon and Snake River System will be fully revitalized.

Red Plate River System, Dragon Spine Kingdom, Dragon Spine Continent.

It’s been twenty years since the Dragon Spine Song Family led the founding of the Dragon Spine Kingdom, with the Luo family assisting, using the Red Plate River System and the Dragon and Snake River System as territories.
