Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1308 - 1274: No Righteousness in Wood
The interests between Chen Fei and the Slan Dynasty are not aligned.
Things that are difficult for the Slan Dynasty are trivial for him, almost effortless, and vice versa.
"At most a week, the residential environment, commercial areas, and educational districts can all be prepared, but part of the population will need to be redistributed."
Chen Fei would not refuse these rebels. On one hand, he originally owed a favor to the Slan Royal Family; on the other hand, the "Dimensional Pearl" life space also needed a population fill. Moreover, there might be some acquaintances among the surviving rebels, and he didn't want them to suffer.
Maybe those acquaintances are still alive now.
It would be best if they can survive, which would make Chen Fei's takeover more valuable.
Even though Cangqiong Star and Blue Star are now both civilized societies with highly abundant productivity and living resources, if one falls into a barren land lacking energy and tools, starting from scratch, it would be challenging to even achieve subsistence without generations of effort.
If the aim is to return to the era of digital information, it would be even more impossible if the population base cannot support the integrity of the technology tree.
"No problem, we'll gather the materials first and then contact you. We might need Mr. Brown's help to connect."
Princess Lin Ziyu's gaze fell on the S-Class Space Ability User, considering using this unspoken understanding as a pretext.
From Chen Fei's earlier reaction, Her Royal Highness the Princess further affirmed her conjecture.
Mr. Brown had no idea what Chen Fei and the other party talked about, wondering why they kept looking at him. Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess took a liking to him?!
This would be troublesome; his children are already in school, and his wife would surely shoot him!
"No need, lend me a 'Dimensional Gate', we'll connect directly and save the trouble."
Chen Fei waved his hand, not intending to let Mr. Brown leave his side.
On one hand, there wasn't a genuine need to use this pretext; on the other hand, the S-Class Superpower User is one of the most reliable amulets. Better safe than sorry; having as many protective measures as possible, unless necessary, avoid reducing them.
Both the "Dimensional Gate" and Storage Magical Device are keys anchoring specific spaces, not to be confused with personal space. The idea that their bodies contain mysterious and unknown spaces is a misconception.
Princess Lin Ziyu exclaimed in surprise, "'Dimensional Gate'? Is a 'Dimensional Gate' enough?"
The life spaces owned by the Slan Royal Family, even the largest, cannot compare to the life space of the "Dimensional Pearl". They never thought that something like the "Dimensional Gate" could connect the inside and outside. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
In fact, it's totally unnecessary.
If something can be held in hand and performed directly, there's no need to use the laborious "Dimensional Gate". Moreover, the in-out traffic of the "Dimensional Gate" is more than any ordinary life space can handle, likely flooding in just a few hours.
If it's just to store items, conventional Storage Magical Devices can suffice without being affected by the passage of time, so there's no need to waste the precious and rare life space.
A corresponding Dimensional Gate can be set up elsewhere, dividing 1.6 million people into ten batches, which spreads the pressure of passage and settlement. From now on, a City Management Committee can be established with some experience here ready to share...
Chen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu agreed on some details and finalized the Slan Dynasty's "Rebel Exile" plan.
Chen Fei's "Dimensional Pearl" life space supplemented with a batch of population (labor), while the Slan Dynasty rid itself of a potential recurring hazard, mutually beneficial for both parties, a perfect win-win.
The existing two "Skylight" cities, "Atlantis" and "Randon," are designed to accommodate three million people each. Currently not full, thus, they can absorb all the exiled rebels and their dependents. The supply of daily necessities, from housing and food to job provisions, is assured.
Nowadays, the life space is made habitable due to the complete coverage by the Life Tree's barrier and the stabilizing continental plates. Sunshine, air, and vegetation are ensured, and the "Skylight" over the settlements are no longer a necessity. Assigning the rebel population an open-air urban area to connect the three cities can accommodate 1.6 million people even if doubled.
The current reserve of Chen Fei, whether it is the stockpile of Spatial Branding or the resources stored in the "Dimensional Pearl" life space, is sufficient to accommodate more than a million people. The "Dimensional Pearl" has become an upgraded version of the "Ark Plan," so the previous stock was to handle a blue-star level emergency, thus acquiring additional resources from the Slan Dynasty saves extra expenses.
Two hours later, Princess Lin Ziyu left the royal residence, simultaneously sending a set with Longinus's "Dimensional Gate." Life supplies for 1.6 million people, necessary for a year, will be ready by one-third within the week.
Chen Fei only intended to obtain a set of "Dimensional Gate," with Longinus needed for positioning hanging on the branches of the Life Tree, readily usable.
Unexpectedly, the Slan Royal Family also provided the matched Longinus, which can be activated immediately upon connecting to energy.
The Dimensional Gate, with a diameter of 30 meters, is wide enough to ensure two-way, four-lane traffic, including pedestrian walkways.
Chen Fei is not worried about whether the rebel army entering the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space harbors any chaotic thoughts. After all, within the confines of the Life Tree's barrier, granting life or death rests in the hands of a true tyrant. The "Wall of Sighs" task force certainly didn't give him the wrong nickname.
After spending two days in Delan City on Cangqiong Star, assisting the Soul Research Team with the level-up of alchemical artifacts for research, Chen Fei returns once more to the South Continent of America on Blue Star. On one hand, he continues to monitor the disturbances caused by the high-fidelity Longinus replicas; on the other, he prepares for the first wave of rebel soldiers and their families from the Silan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star to enter the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space.
The initial batch of 800,000 rebels will establish a separate city, forming a straight line with the cities of "Atlantis" and "Randon," located 300 kilometers apart. The three cities can establish a dual double-line wide-gauge high-speed railway, with one pair of tracks for freight and the other for passengers.
The third city, according to naming conventions, begins with "Deng," and is named "Denggao." It is designed for a permanent population of 3 million, with an estimated settlement population of 800,000, while the remaining 800,000 are distributed between "Randon" and "Atlantis."
If it were not for the stabilization of the populations in "Atlantis" and "Randon," Chen Fei would certainly mix in sand among the 1.6 million Cangqiong Star people settling in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, and mix it well, minimizing the instability caused by group cohesion.

"Uncle, where are we going?"
In the slow-moving crowd, Minante sticks closely beside Uncle Befas, nervously looking around.
The other uncles, aunts, and a large family of over a hundred members, along with tenacious bodyguards helping with the luggage, are not conspicuous at all amidst the hundred-thousand-strong queue.
"It might be Blue Star! But it shouldn't be!"
The "Radiant Tiger" legion has been completely disbanded, and the original Legion Commander has neither been pardoned nor absorbed but has become a commoner.
Two kilometers ahead, the "Dimensional Gate" management substation at the suburban ground of Nandu City, a very familiar place for the uncle and nephew duo, was fiercely defended by the rebels at great cost. Even so, the rebellious army of hundreds of thousands, along with related population, will pass through this Dimensional Gate, heading towards an unknown land.
A dozen or so drones patrol in the air repeatedly reminding people not to fall behind, to keep their belongings secure, especially not to lose their social welfare card which can act as a wallet, and the health wristband which serves as an ID.
Not long ago, the Slan Royal Family announced the disposition of the Zilu Continent participants in the rebellion, including family members, as exile.
Simultaneously, they stripped all rights from the citizens of the Slan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star, denying them the right to return to Cangqiong Star. However, they guaranteed the exiles' clothing, food, shelter, travel, work, and personal safety at the exile destination, hoping these rebels along with their family and friends would start anew in a new place, and requested them to obey the laws and regulations, as the place is strictly governed, not a lawless territory.
Through the shimmering Dimensional Gate, everyone arrived at a vast plaza. The sky was grayish, and the smell of damp grass and earth rushed towards them.
The fully armed Silan Dynasty army was nowhere to be seen, replaced by combat mech and humanoid constructed mobile armor, both armored to the teeth. Above, several small combat spaceships hovered, not revealing which faction they belonged to. It was neither the Silan Dynasty nor any Blue Star sovereignty. Blue Star sovereignties do not possess such a scale of mobile armed force unless they don't want their home; it didn't seem possible.
"A strange place, could it be some Life Planet?"
Befas craned his neck forward, looking into the distance. Many others were also scanning their surroundings, trying to discern their location.
Rumors circulated that Blue Star Humans had control of more than one Life Planet and seemed to be planning for interstellar colonization.
"They keep asking which faction we belong to, but we seem to have no flag!"
Miyoshi Xuesen, assisting in receiving the Silan Dynasty rebels, relayed this to Chen Fei, simultaneously identifying a rather significant issue.
Chen Fei was no longer a small-time player but had risen to the ranks of a legitimate representative force, commanding armed forces that could even make the smaller sovereignties show respect. Considering the ability to counteract the vanguard of the Sagali civilization, prowess shouldn't be underestimated.
"Do we not have a flag?"
Chen Fei asked those around him.
"No!"
Heseman Brown waved both hands.
While they could carry the banner of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, taking in rebels from the Silan Dynasty was out of its jurisdiction, thus not feasible.
If the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee took in a million Cangqiong Star rebels, the sovereignties would certainly question, "What are you trying to do?"
So, one cannot recklessly use this seal.
