Chapter 111 105 A big granary
The Imperial Chancellor, with a dragon's stride and a tiger's poise, marched into the meeting hall of the imperial conference.
As the Chancellor entered the room, the Iridium Star's senior ministers all stood up and paid their respects. Bai Zhongqi walked to his chair, nodded slightly to everyone, and then the cabinet members took their seats.
Bai Zhongqi cut straight to the point, saying, "I assume you have all seen the message just returned by the Insight. We have discovered a new habitable planet in the Centauri Alpha Galaxy, and there exists intelligent life with a relatively low level of civilization. This is a very good opportunity for the United Empire of Iridium Star, an opportunity to expand the territories of our Empire."
Bai Zhongqi glanced at their expressions; not a single one showed much excitement. For the United Empire of Iridium Star, which possessed over two hundred administrative stars and countless undeveloped resource planets, the discovery of a new habitable planet wasn't something to get too worked up about.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"President Mo, please give us a brief overview of this habitable planet."
President Mo Laitong of the Scientific Research Institute nodded, cleared his throat, and addressed the cabinet members, "This planet has been named the Emerald Sea Star by Mr. Xiu Ping, the captain who first discovered it. The planet orbits around Centauri Alpha B Star, with an orbital period of approximately 241 Earth days, and a rotation period of about 33 Earth hours.
Its volume is 76.5% that of Earth, but due to its lower density, the gravity is only slightly less than Earth's, at 9.5 m/s^2. It has three moons revolving around it, all smaller than Earth's moon, which causes strong and somewhat irregular tidal phenomena on the planet.
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are situated at 33 degrees latitude north and south, which means that its temperate zones are narrow and the tropical and polar regions are much larger."
Seeing the old scholar appeared to be ready to discuss more about celestial characteristics, Bai Zhongqi quickly interrupted him, saying, "Talk about the land conditions and the local civilization."
"Ah, very well. This planet has vast ocean areas with abundant water resources, where the sea density is relatively low, similar to freshwater. The landmasses only comprise one-fifth of the global surface. Like most habitable planets, this one also has tectonic plates. There are three continents, but only two are inhabited by indigenous populations.
Even though most of the Northern Continent is ice fields with harsh environments; the rainforest and grasslands in the center of the Southern Continent are overly savage; and the Legendary Continent is entirely untouched by humans. It is precisely these undeveloped lands that could sustain a large number of immigrants from Earth.

The Iridium Star population is small, but Earth's is large, and it has led to overdevelopment and ecological damage. The Legendary Continent alone is more than six times the size of Country C. Not only does it hold the biological resources that Mo Laitong yearns for, but it also boasts superior geographical and resource environments.
Especially the eastern coastal regions of the continent, which host several rivers with water volumes comparable to the Amazon River, forming alluvial plains, with adequate heat and humidity that would make the land a breadbasket with a little development.
Du Peng said, "The eastern plains of the Legendary Continent on the Emerald Sea Star are perfect for establishing the Empire's granary. After the Star Alliance is launched, we can supply countless industrial products to the member states, but it's difficult to satisfy the food needs of over a billion or even tens of billions.
We only need to relocate tens of thousands of Earthlings there, supplemented with bionic humans and other mechanical labor forces. With the use of top-quality breeding varieties, it would only take a year to produce enough agricultural products to meet the demands."
Bai Zhongqi knew that although atomic substance construction devices could synthesize food from atomic elements like carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, even Iridium Star citizens preferred naturally grown food.
And in the Star Alliance's citizen treatment plan, food and other daily agricultural products, like large amounts of industrial goods, should be able to be offered to Star Alliance citizens cheaply or even free of charge. An ample food supply is also a capability that the Star Alliance must possess.
The Emerald Sea Star could just meet this need of the United Empire of Iridium Star.
Moreover, in the information in Bai Zhongqi's hands, there was another content that piqued his great interest.
