Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1309 - 1275: Special Administrative Region
Miyoshi Xuesen suggested, "We don't have a badge, why not establish a sovereignty? It would be relatively official."
"No, no, sovereignties cannot interfere in each other's internal affairs. We wouldn't be able to operate like we do now."
Chen Fei shook his head, doing things under the name of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee and under the name of a sovereignty in another sovereignty's territory... no, this would be invasion!
Previously, they acted recklessly under the guise of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee's global duties, but dealing with the 1.6 million rebels and their families exiled from the Slan Dynasty wouldn't be so easy.
Can the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee still enforce laws across planets?
Oh, yes it can!
Otherwise, where did the two star systems snatched from the "Sagali" civilization come from? Actually, they belong to Chen Fei, but in name, they are still under the committee's supervision, temporarily belonging to the Blue Star civilization as enclaves shared by all humankind.
But they can't enforce laws on Cangqiong Star, otherwise, it would mean wanting to start a full-scale war, adding fuel to the already tense situation.
The troublemakers from the two civilized planets love such ready-made excuses.
Using the name of Jiu Defense Company doesn't work either, otherwise, Boss Hana's business wouldn't be possible.
With a population numbering in the millions, comparable to a small sovereignty's war potential, they're even competing in the private military contractors industry. All the employees combined in all the military contractor companies don't match up to the young and able-bodied in the "Boundary Pearl" life space.
One can imagine that they would certainly face industry-wide resistance, and sovereignties would feel very uneasy. If Jiu Defense Company's people came, who knows when the flag on the city walls might change, and before the sun even rises, they could be overthrown, with no time to even raise a white flag in surrender.
Chen Fei contemplated for a long time, scratching his head before making a decision.
"Establish the 'Tree Realm' special administrative region, temporarily supervised by The First Sovereign."
Bring in The First Sovereign, flaunt their power, The First Sovereign citizens' personal life space; of course The First Sovereign can reasonably and legally intervene, and there's no fear of other sovereignties daring to object. Whether it's an S-Class Superpower User's Psi Skill, it doesn't matter, it's just a different anchoring method, and Gamada Sovereignty doesn't have the guts to complain.
In ancient times, Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, the Battle of Red Cliffs was fought one against four (Liu-Sun alliance 50,000 vs. Cao's army numbered at 800,000, actually 200,000), with feather fans and silk ribbons, laughing and chatting as ships turned to ash, and nowadays the east wind is still here. There's also the Great Mage Master Legion (missile guidance), they can target whoever they want.
The sound of knocks on the national gate: dong dong! There's an express delivery...
If they launch a strike on you suddenly, who wouldn't panic?
Within the life space, the "Life Tree" also guards it, so no one else can claim it.
"Sounds good!"
Miyoshi Monk agreed without a second thought.
Moreover, there was formerly one country, two systems, and now comes a one country, three systems?
No colonies, no Federation, no member sovereignties, just play this way!
The strength of The First Sovereign is undeniable, the Europa Continent and the North and South America are chaotic, but the Asia region, where The First Sovereign sits, hasn't fallen into chaos, nearly becoming a paradise on earth, with people from other places flocking here regardless of their wealth.
Bringing The First Sovereign in finds a fitting reason to connect with these over one hundred thousand Cangqiong Star people.
However, this approach means that the "Boundary Pearl" life space will come to light.
In fact, it makes no difference; Blue Star suddenly relocated nearly one million people, especially in the industrial sector, with Louis Industrial Company digging three meters down for a total relocation, and the "Boundary Pearl" life space has not severed communication with Blue Star. This life space, claimed under the name of psi skills, is no secret and quite a few people are aware of it.
-
The first batch of about 160,000 rebels and their families from the Slan Dynasty, after two hours of diversion, were settled in batches in various residential areas of the newly built city "Denggao". Shopping centers, educational institutions, and basic facilities like city administration were already constructed in advance, the result of a major battle involving nearly a million mechanical beings. Most of the work went into laying the infrastructure and material allocation, with channels and ditches directly utilizing the "Life Tree"'s control over the barrier domain, buildings were assembled modularly with uniform size and style, without any time-consuming soft decorations, embodying a simplistic industrial style.
The city roads and other facilities haven't begun construction yet, mainly due to lack of time and incomplete material delivery, while infrastructure building can provide a considerable amount of employment, as long as there's work, these people who had just participated in armed rebellion wouldn't have excess thoughts.
The "Boundary Pearl" life space is vast and sparsely populated, a city planned for a permanent population of 3 million won't be crowded. Within the first batch moving into "Denggao", there were members of the city management committee's basic framework, who took office immediately to maintain the initial operation of the city, while also preparing for the next batches of immigrants (exiled personnel).
The Cangqiong Star people exiled to the "Boundary Pearl" life space, after initial anxiety and unease, had food and accommodation issues secured, along with corresponding job positions. After a couple of days of adjustment, everything quickly fell into place.
The Blue Star First Sovereign sent an administrative management team to assist the city management committee in its various tasks and the coordination of aid materials, while also informing these Cangqiong Star immigrants that this place, named "Tree Realm", is a special administrative region belonging to the Blue Star civilization's First Sovereign. Especially after the space map was made public, these Cangqiong Star people realized that this is neither Cangqiong Star nor Blue Star, and it's not within the two star systems controlled by Chen Fei.
The name Tree Realm was chosen mainly because at the very center of the entire space, there stands a genuinely towering giant tree, which maintains the ecological environment of the whole life space, providing light, oxygenated air, and various forms of flora and fauna.
What is even more surprising is that above the cloud-covered heights, there are satellites, not a single star, but a neatly arranged satellite network quietly suspended in the weightless vacuum zone.
Here, there is no planetary rotation, nor are there gravitational effects from other celestial bodies in the star system. There are also no high-energy rays or strong radiation impacts from the void. Once reaching a certain height, not only does gravity become negligible, but the air also becomes exceedingly thin. Objects enter a natural state of stillness, no longer moving in position or changing in posture. Therefore, satellites placed here do not require flight orbits or strong maneuverability and protection capabilities, making their manufacturing costs and technical requirements relatively low.
"Damn, without three to five years, this city cannot possibly be built."
The excellent "Sky Falcon" combat aircraft pilot Minante switched from air to land and changed careers to become a construction vehicle driver, and specifically, a cement mixer driver. Once loaded, he had to rush to the construction site, wishing he could drive the heavy vehicle like a combat aircraft.
Very unfortunate, as nice as that thought was, even if he floored the pedal, the ten-some ton cement mixer truck would not fly; it still trudged along slowly, heavily burdened.
Over forty construction sites in the "Denggao" city were simultaneously under work. It was either all mud or dust everywhere. The first batch of 160,000 people was absorbed in an instant. It's said that in a week, another batch of Cangqiong Star immigrants, equally numerous, would come, yet it would probably still not fill this colossal construction site-like city. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Despite the absence of a "Skylight," the engineering required for this burgeoning city was still substantial.
This construction site would be the future commercial office building center, with ten forty-floor buildings providing administrative space for businesses of all sizes. Not far away was the city park, where the main construction focused on recreational facilities. An embryonic scenic lake formed by mysterious forces had already begun accumulating water, with visible fish swimming within. The pre-packed lake shore still required stone paving.
Befas, wearing a white safety helmet and smoking a cigarette, was leading a group in a site inspection. He didn't need to exert as much as the young people laying bricks and cement, being responsible for the management tasks.
By chance, he saw his nephew Minante driving a cement mixer truck, separated from the crowd, waving energetically from the muddy roadside.
"Over here! Over here! Minante, bring back five boxes of beer on your way back. I'm calling people over tonight."
The cement mixer had room, and on the return trip, he could conveniently pick up a few boxes of beer from a small supermarket along the way, along with ten-some pounds of marbled raw meat and some vegetables, preparing wood charcoal and seasonings for a BBQ gathering with old friends.
Minante braked and leaned half his body out the driver's side window, gesturing to his uncle, "Noted! I'll go buy them on the last trip; I've got two more to run."
The cement mixer had a task deadline. If the concrete were to harden in the mixing drum, it would spell trouble, so once loaded, he had to rush to the destination.
"Alright, five in the afternoon at my place!"
Befas pointed to the health bracelet on his left wrist, which not only monitored physiological changes but also had a clock function.
Time, place, people, with beer, come stories.
No longer rebelling, everyone returned to an ordinary daily life, laying bricks, boasting, eating, drinking, and merry-making.
"Minante, I'll handle the drinks."
A voice came from the passenger seat.
"Oh, good! Emmm..."
Reflexively responding, Minante suddenly turned his head to see someone had sneaked into the cabin, seriously buckling the seatbelt in the passenger seat.
"'Rookie'!!"
Who else could it be but Chen Fei?
"Y-you-you, how are you here?"
Minante dared not keep pressing the accelerator in excitement, hitting the brake directly, causing the heavy cement mixer truck to skid a meter forward in the muddy road, stirring the concrete inside into a heap of waves.
Chen Fei nonchalantly said, "I happened to be free and came over to see you."
If it weren't for new situations in the South Continent of America, he would have come over two days ago.
"How did you know I was here?"
Minante found it hard to believe. He and his uncle, among those involved in the Silan Dynasty rebellion, were all exiled to this isolated Life Space. It was unimaginable how Chen Fei could find his way here.
"Naturally, the list! To be precise, all 2,146,511 people make it quite easy to find you."
Chen Fei swiped a finger before him; others couldn't see the AR visual interface displaying a long list scrolling quickly following his gesture.
"Your entry to this ghostly place won't cause any issues?"
Minante glanced nervously outside the vehicle, seeing no suspicious characters surveilling his cement mixer truck.
This Life Space was not a genuine planet, nor within an actual star system. It had no sun, no moon, not even stars. Although there was light, it was gloomy, always overcast, with rare clear skies.
