Chapter 292 Visiting the Human Federation

Author: Baiyun fluttering

As the relationship between the two parties warmed up, and the Star Alliance began to manufacture large warp spaceships, the Star Alliance planned to send envoys to visit the Human Federation and establish an embassy.

This meeting is not formalistic, because the Star Federation plans to provide technical assistance to the Human Federation. Some assistance, such as experts and cutting-edge equipment, can only be transported by light-speed spacecraft.

This lightspeed spacecraft is about the same size as a stellar-class battleship. It will carry more than a thousand experts and envoys in various fields, as well as some small cutting-edge equipment.

Since Sai had nothing to do for the time being, she signed up as one of the special envoys of the Star Alliance and went to Barnard System to visit the Human Federation.

Calculated based on the distance between the two galaxies, the conventional voyage will take 1 year, while the curvature voyage will take 4 years, and it will take a total of 5 years to reach Barnard's Galaxy.

Considering that it would take a long time to travel back and forth between Barnard's System and the Solar System, Say resigned from the position of President of the Star Alliance and turned to control the Star Alliance behind the scenes.

In the 6th year of the Galactic Era, the Star Alliance delegation began to set off for Barnard's system. Four years later, the light-speed spacecraft arrived at Barnard's system.

Because it travels at the speed of light, it only takes less than an hour to travel 4 light years in the spacecraft's reference frame. However, the spacecraft is still equipped with hibernation equipment because the one year of conventional navigation cannot be skipped.

……..

Galactic Era 11, Barnard Galaxy, Human Federation Planet 3

After five years of sailing, the Starlink spacecraft finally arrived at Planet 3. As the human federation gradually developed the inner galaxy, it became quite prosperous and there were many space city complexes.

Unlike Planet 4, Planet 3 is a Jupiter-like planet, even similar in color to Jupiter. It has hundreds of satellites with larger masses, and 6 of them are more massive than the moon.

This means that this planet has sufficient fusion fuel and minerals, plus it is close to the other two planets and stars, so it has become the capital of the Human Federation.

However, Planet 4 is equally important in the production system of the Human Federation. It is responsible for carrying the fire of human civilization, manufacturing military ships, and transporting machinery and equipment to the inner planets.

Soon the Star Alliance's lightspeed spacecraft stopped and began to dock with a spaceport on Planet 3. According to Sai's guess, this seemed to be a cargo port.

After the lightspeed spacecraft docked with the spaceport, Sai immediately saw Chu Yan and the top brass of the Human Federation who came to greet him.

"Prime Minister Sai, welcome to the Human Federation. I am Chu Yan, the Grand Marshal of the Human Federation, and this is." After seeing Sai, the old Chu Yan went up and held her hand tightly.

It was these two people who rebuilt the deterrence system and gave human civilization a second life. They are now truly like-minded people.

Next, everyone got on the shuttle to visit the destination. On the way, Chu Yan and Sai talked about the future arrangements of the Star Alliance and the Human Federation.

"Currently we are planning to colonize the nearest 77XC star system. The proposal has been submitted to the Colonization Committee. We are building a giant colony ship on Planet 3. Once the project is completed, we can develop the nearest star system."

"So anxious? I remember you are still working on a large curvature engine, right?" Sai asked curiously.

"A strike in the dark forest is very dangerous. If you want to survive in the universe, you must spread as soon as possible. This giant colony ship is modularly assembled. You can just install the warp engine directly."

"Yeah, it's a pity that the Star Alliance in the solar system has never had this sense of urgency, which led to the almost destruction of human civilization." Sai said with emotion.

"You can't say that." Chu Yan waved his hand and said: "Star Alliance also has its own advantages. Whether it is industrial strength or technical level, you are much stronger than us. You are the elder brother who leads us."

"The biggest problem of the Human Federation now is the insufficient population. There are too few people here. I heard that you only have 4 billion people now." Sai suddenly said.

"That's right, that's it. It's less than one percent of the population of the Star Alliance, and it's not even as large as the population of the Earth during the AD." Chu Yan replied.

With the current level of human technology, there is no automated production line that can replicate itself without a single person.

Not even Trisolarans can do it. Now, whether it is scientific research or industrial production, it is impossible to be completely replaced by artificial intelligence. Maintaining a huge production system requires a huge population.

Therefore, the labor force will always exist until artificial intelligence can completely replace humans. A civilization cannot have advanced technology with a sparse population.

"But the good news is that there are native intelligent species in Barnard. When we arrived here, their technological level was about that of the ancient atomic age, and their individuals could perform some simple tasks."

"If they are instilled with knowledge, they can even do some technical work, which is why we still keep these slaves."

"And they are extremely reproductive. Even if we don't create artificial wombs for them, Barnard's growth rate is not inferior to that of humans." Chu Yan explained.

There are native civilizations in Barnard's Galaxy, and they originated on Planet 1, which is very close to Barnard's Star. This is a solid planet with an equally astonishing mass.

However, the Barnard people are relatively backward in technology, and even the Human Federation, which only has three Star Destroyer strike groups, cannot compete with them.

The Human Federation did not mind massacres of aliens, but because of scarcity of labor, they did not massacre Barnards, but used the native Barnards as a cheap labor force.

After the Human Federation's Star Destroyer strike group defeated the Barnard civilization, all Barnards were forcibly stamped with ideological stamps of loyalty to the Human Federation and implanted with bombs, forcing them to work until death.

Moreover, the Barnard people can be said to be extremely unlucky. A large part of the reason why their technology is inferior to humans is because the gravity of Planet 1 is too great, which makes industrial development difficult.

Being able to develop technology to the atomic age on such a planet is pretty good, and if the Trisolarans hadn't used sophons to lock their technology, the Barnard people should have been able to develop to the pre-space age.

"The reason why the Barnard people can develop technology to the atomic age is because they have the ability to inherit memory and can inherit part of the memory of their parents." Chu Yan told an amazing news.

The Human Federation had not told the Star Alliance this news before, so Sai didn't know about it.
