Chapter 275 Meeting
Year 9428 of the Galactic Calendar.
After two years of development, the number of miners from the alien Hans civilization in the solar system has now reached half of the total population of human civilization.
That is a terrifying number close to one billion.
These short but strong Hans civilization mining workers are like tireless machines, working 70% of the total time each year.
The remaining 30% is rest time.
For non-humans, only 25% of the total time is spent on work, and the rest of the time is used for sleep, vacation, daily entertainment, etc.
Coupled with its leading mining technology, it has to be said that in terms of the mining industry alone, the gap between humans and the Hans civilization is unimaginable.
But correspondingly, human development in other areas is not lagging behind.
Compared with the Hans civilization's leading position in the mineral field, human civilization pays more attention to the balanced development of various industries.
For example, the aerospace industry involves all aspects of related disciplines such as materials, structures, mechanics, quantum science, electromagnetism, medicine, electronics, mechanics, etc.
Human civilization has invested in all of these.
Although in the short term, it is still far behind the average level of related technological products in the star market, everyone believes that as long as this balanced development trend is maintained, then as long as the time is ripe, human civilization will surely enter the level of third-level civilization with an attitude of comprehensive development and ignite the strength of the entire technology tree.
However, it is clear that this ideal is not favored by other civilizations.
Hans Galaxy, Capital Space Station.
The Peacemaker completed its nearly year-long mission and returned to the solar system a year ago with numerous cooperation agreements.
And now, in the central area inside the Capital Space Station, a meeting of officials with a small number of personnel but very high positions is going on fiercely.
Hans Ming, as the emperor of the Hans civilization, his family began to inherit since the intelligent creatures of the Hans civilization first developed a sense of territory.
As a well-deserved family, the Hans family is like a god in the eyes of the intelligent creatures of the Hans civilization. The development history of their family can even be regarded as the development history of the Hans civilization.
However, since entering the space age and coming into contact with the Galactic Alliance, the Hans family's control over the Hans civilization has gradually weakened.
A group of senior officials headed by Mai Jia have gradually fought back from a civilian force to a powerful group that is almost like a "prime minister" in the Hans civilization empire over the past few hundred years.
And now, the groups headed by these two parties are arguing fiercely.
"Max! The last expedition led by Maier was completely annihilated, causing huge losses to our civilization. You haven't given an explanation for this matter until now. Now, you are even trying to threaten His Majesty Ming with military power to stop the troops from being dispatched. Could it be that your Mai family wants to rebel?"
Under the gaze of Emperor Hans Minh, who was wearing a crown on the first seat, the Imperial Minister of Personnel Hans Rohr was angrily accusing the Imperial Prime Minister Max, who was sitting opposite him.
In contrast, the prime minister from the McDonald family was relatively indifferent.
The prime minister, who had been in charge of the internal and external affairs of Hans Civilization for nearly 300 years, glanced at the Minister of Personnel calmly and did not rush to refute. Instead, he turned his old gaze to the new emperor who had not spoken on the throne.
It is hard to imagine that as a second-level civilization, with an army of hundreds of thousands of space battleships, the Hans civilization is still an imperial civilization.
Of course, this may be because intelligent creatures themselves have a certain degree of obedience.
Hans Ming did not say anything. Although he looked young, he also came from the planetary era. After taking the carbon-based biological anti-aging drugs that were customized and sold on the star market, his lifespan had reached a terrifying number of 600 years.
And now, he is only 350 years old.
In contrast, the Prime Minister Max, who is under him, is now 550 years old. It is no exaggeration to say that these are old monsters who are accustomed to struggles and the development of the universe.
And these old monsters have one thing in common.
That is to seek stability.
Sure enough, after a brief silence, Prime Minister Max spoke in his sharp, slightly old voice:
"Roll, don't get excited."
He first stopped the increasingly heated meeting atmosphere, then bowed slightly to the emperor on the throne and continued:
"Your Majesty, and all the ministers present here, as the Prime Minister and the person in charge of formulating the previous expedition plan, I need to come forward and explain the reason to you."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room calmed down as expected. At this moment, even the breathing became a little slower.
Prime Minister Max paused for a moment, nodded secretly upon seeing this, and then continued:
"In fact, the survey results of the previous expedition plan had already reached a rough conclusion several years ago.
However, due to some aspects that could not be confirmed, as well as reasons involving the military's emotions and the empire's reputation, this matter has been suppressed and not made public.
However, as the situation of the empire became increasingly difficult over the years, and that new civilization emerged.
I think it’s time to make this matter public.”
After saying this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze again to the young Emperor sitting on the throne.
"Can!"
Hans Ming took a deep breath. He was also very confused about the results of the investigation.
Although Max gave him all the investigation results, he really couldn't understand it.
Why, a powerful imperial expeditionary force, led by a small flagship aircraft carrier, could be silently destroyed in interstellar space in a way that almost resulted in annihilation of the entire army?
Only a few special ships escaped.
That's interstellar space!
That's interstellar space with no material existing within 2 light years. How could a powerful fleet appear there?
This is what he has always been confused about.
Max nodded slightly, sighed without hesitation, and then started operating on the panel in front of him.
Then, on the simulated desktop in the conference room in front of everyone, two ships appeared before everyone, with their appearance identical except for a few blurred parts.
But if you look closely, you can see that the two huge battleships, one is painted in military green and has the symbol of human civilization engraved on it, with a human figure as its symbol.
The other one had a relatively funny logo on it.
Not only that, everyone also discovered at this moment that not only was the battleship's logo funny, but its paint color was also completely different.
