Chapter 241: Human Civilization, Set Sail!
“Comprador behavior is not advisable!”
Fan Ren’s clenched fist heavily slammed onto the thick podium, producing a dull thud.
In the conference hall, the participating officials present heard it like rolling thunder.
“My development has always been step by step.
Under Elder Ye’s leadership and our collective effort, we have arduously crossed the threshold of Tier 1 Civilization.
And this is not the end!
On the contrary, if all goes as planned, our voyage fleet will head to and arrive at the Galactic Alliance Office on Sirius Prime of the Tianlang Civilization within a few years, completing the registration for our Human Civilization there.
It is foreseeable that this will be a new beginning!
Obviously, in this complex Galactic Alliance, although there are crises, opportunities coexist!
At this moment, I can’t help but think of Great Xia from over a hundred years ago.
At that time, we had nothing!
Our predecessors faced the complex situation, worked together, united as one, overcame thorns and brambles, faced countless difficulties along the way but never bowed their heads.
It was under their tenacious and unyielding struggle that we have this glorious era today.
Here, in my capacity as the current Human Civilization Committee Chairman, I sincerely appeal to the compatriots watching the live broadcast and those who will see it later.
Let us work together, and we will return to that era once more, united as one in relentless struggle.
Our career cannot be achieved by just a few geniuses.
And you!
My compatriots.
You are the confidence I have in this era!
Thank you, that concludes my inaugural speech as the first Chairman, written in detail!”
As Fan Ren finished speaking, his solemn expression softened slightly as he stepped back, then bowed slightly toward the camera again.
In the meeting hall, thunderous applause unknowingly erupted.
This applause seemed to condense the united effort of 2.5 billion humans, instantly breaking through the star-filled ceiling and echoing to every corner of the Solar System.
Ross 154 planetary system, Fox Pirate Group base.
Obviously, this is not a standard interstellar pirate base.
There are areas for military, professional research areas, and super-large comprehensive industrial areas.
Even in the deep space not far away, a colossal building 100 kilometers in length, width, and height stands alone.
This clearly exceeds the scale a normal interstellar pirate group should have.
However, perimeter full-coverage, no-dead-angle signal shielding satellites cleverly conceal everything here under the massive No. 3 gas giant planet, preventing any signal from escaping.
A spaceship, 200 meters long and wide with no aggressive design, slowly sailed out from that colossal building.
Several nuclear fusion engines at the tail erupted in blue tail flames, heading toward the red star without hesitation.
Subsequently, ten Young Dragon class spaceships successively departed from the military area, suddenly accelerating to follow.
“A’dai, I’m leaving this to you. Follow our predetermined plan. If there are any emergencies, follow Li Jian’s lead. I’ve granted him control of the Conqueror.”
“Don’t worry, Boss, I understand. All programs are the predetermined ones we discussed. Normally, I won’t need to intervene.
For emergencies, I’ll consult with Boss Li.”
On the Peace Messenger spaceship, Fan Ren in the nano buffer cabin of the command room nodded upon hearing this and then fell silent.
This time, he would go to the Galactic Alliance Office on Sirius Prime as the Human Civilization Committee Chairman to complete the civilization registration work.
His style differed from others; because of the Seed of Civilization Data Panel in his mind, for any contact with new external matters, he had to lead by example to grasp the specifics firsthand and respond accordingly.
However, both Fox and Mai Er had firmly stated that they only needed to transit three star systems to reach the Star Gate at Sirius Prime.
There were no dangerous places along the way.
After all, although the Sirius Civilization coveted surrounding forces, their main idea was to boil the frog in warm water, waiting for the rear Tier 2 Civilizations’ resources to deplete before they would naturally join the Sirius Civilization.
To this end, they spared no promises to ensure free passage rights for civilian ships within their sphere of influence.
However, Fan Ren learned from them that not every Star Gate in the Galactic Alliance was built by the Galactic Alliance official.
The Galactic Alliance official Hub Star Gates were like highways on several arms, only for direct travel to the Galactic Core.
And on this ‘highway,’ there were numerous Branch Star Gates.
Often, to access this highway, one had to pass through these Branch Star Gates built by various civilizations.
Of course, there was another route.
That was long-distance voyage through the vast interstellar space.
But that obviously took an extremely long time.
Generally, navigation on this ‘highway’ posed no danger.
The previously mentioned crises mainly came from branches, interstellar pirate groups within star systems, and restrictions by certain civilizations with Star Gate jurisdiction.
Therefore, the two Star Gates on the route to the Sirius Civilization generally had no crises.
Even due to some scattered civilizations around, this route was very busy.
The Peace Messenger was a pure civilian ship designed independently by the newly established Science and Technology Department and urgently processed by the Ministry of Industry, with no military weapons or equipment.
The ten Young Dragon ships formed the escort fleet.
Of course, this was permitted under the Sirius Civilization’s interstellar navigation laws.
Ten cruiser-level frigates was the limit for the escort fleet.
Military fleets exceeding this limit required reporting to the Sirius Civilization and permission before passing through their jurisdiction’s Star Gates.
This Peace Messenger spaceship was painted pure white, symbolizing peace.
It could carry 1000 crew at once and provided spaces for office work and some research functions.
Those participating in this voyage with Fan Ren included Liu Shengzhan and Jin Qiaoying.
The rest were relevant staff from various departments.
Among them, members of the newly established Civilization Relations Research Department occupied the majority.
This was a new department proposed immediately after Fan Ren became Chairman, at departmental level, with the minister temporarily at ordinary committee member rank due to immature timing, not standing committee member rank.
Of course, soon after, once the department adapted and achieved results, the minister named Wang Tianming would be promoted to Human Civilization Committee Standing Committee Member.
