Chapter 749: Old Friends (1)
? The 16th planet in the imperial capital.
The giant passenger space port located on the synchronous orbit is as lively and busy as ever! Every moment, there are tens of thousands of spacecraft taking off and landing from here!
A large passenger spacecraft from the central star field of the empire slowly landed under the guidance of the air service center. Several cabin doors opened and the gangway was lowered, and the rolling passenger flow immediately surged out!
"This place is really lively!" A pleasant voice full of surprise came, "It's much better than our hometown!"
"Sister, this is the capital of the empire! How can we compare to in the countryside?" Another gentle voice sounded.
"Actually, the star field we live in is still prosperous!" The third low and thick voice continued,
"You may not remember that when my father worked in the Imperial Frontier Star Domain, that place was so remote!"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. Beside him was a young man and woman who had not yet lost his temper. It seemed that they were a family.
"Dad! I heard you used to work as a diver? You only changed careers later, right?" the boy asked.
"Yes!" the middle-aged man sighed slightly,
"At that time, Mu Yunxing was still in the northern border of the empire. He went out to sea every day for his father and dealt with those nightmarish creatures! Although the money was fast, the risks were too great! You were still young at that time, so naturally they didn't know about these!"
"I was very lucky at the beginning. The main reason was that I met that person. With his help, I made a lot more money than usual! In the end, I became a rich man worth tens of millions!"
"Wow! So awesome!" the beautiful girl said with an admiration, "Who is that person? Your boss?"
"Boss? It was!" He replied with some emotion.
"But it's still more of a friend! I helped him a little, but a rich man asked him for trouble. I took a few friends with strong strength to fix it! Later, we became friends! He! He is a guy who is so lucky that he is so fierce!"
"What happened later? You quit your job?" the boy asked curiously, "Why do you have to quit your job with such a good boss?"
"Of course not! Later, the war broke out, and several countries on the northern border of the empire were invaded by alien races! The situation was tense, and he was summoned into the Imperial ** regiment and went to war!" he said,
"At that time, I took you first and took you to the safe area in the middle of the empire, so I avoided the war! But I missed many opportunities. Later I heard that he became a big shot in the imperial ** group! Many old acquaintances got rich with him! If I had followed him, I'm afraid it would be now..."
He shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Dad, as you say, if you had followed him at the beginning, you might be a person now!" said the girl.
"Yes! That's the most wrong decision your father has made in his life!" he sighed,
"In a person's life, there are only one or two opportunities to change his destiny! Unfortunately, my father was already poor at that time! So I thought about washing my hands and taking you to live a stable life for a few days! As a result, I missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Think about it now, I'm nothing! It's just a pity that you could have had a higher starting point in life! Now you can only start to struggle from the bottom!"
"Dad! Don't blame yourself," the boy smiled.
"We now have fourth-level superpowers and become official members of the Imperial Superpower Legion! As long as we go to the battlefield a few times and make some contributions, we will naturally gain a good future! If we are lucky, we may not be able to make a name for ourselves!"
"Hey! Child, you don't understand! Many times, opportunities are hard to come by and are as important as hard work!" He shook his head,
"Dad came to the imperial capital with you this time, hoping to meet your former friends, and maybe it will be helpful to your future!"
"The friend you mentioned is not that person, right?" the girl asked curiously.
"What is his identity now? Lieutenant General or General? He can survive so many wars. At least he is a real-powerful figure at the level of the commander of the military region, right?"
"It is said that he is a first-class general, a big figure in the Imperial Guard Corps. It is unclear what specific position is!" he said,
"But he is just another friend of my father, as for the one he used to be..."
Speaking of this, a hint of incredible shock appeared in his eyes, and there was also reverence: "I don't know if what Jerome said is true! The starry sea is so big, there are many people with the same name and surname! But if it is true, it would be too..."
"Did I meet a real dragon? No wonder I come and go freely and safely in that kind of place! Even the creatures that the devil wants dare not provoke him!"
"Dad! What are you talking about? Why don't we understand?" the boy said in confusion.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, maybe we will understand later!" He didn't want to say much, and took his two children out of the spaceport. After strict security procedures, he boarded a small passenger spacecraft and flew towards the inner planet.
Looking out through the porthole, you can find that the port they were just one of the sixteen passenger airports outside the imperial capital's stellar system, and there are dozens of freight ports and an equal number of military ports!
But even with so many space ports, the traffic congestion in the imperial capital has not been significantly improved! Therefore, experts from the transportation department once submitted reports to the Imperial Cabinet, requiring the construction of several more passenger airports.
But the senior management understands that such measures can only alleviate the problem for a while, but cannot solve the fundamental problem! Because the current imperial capital is not just an imperial capital of an ordinary superpower! As time goes by, her popularity will only increase!
Since the Starlight Empire regime entered the Tianhua Star Domain, the empire's war machines have never stopped for a moment! Under the leadership of the emperor, the huge legion has captured cities and land, and the troops have been pointed at by the enemy. The masts and oars have been destroyed! Until now, they have finally inserted the empire's flag into two-thirds of the Star Sea World!
As such an unprecedented and super empire capital, its popularity is naturally unimaginable! Every day, every moment, the rare products transported from major galaxies in the Star Sea World to the imperial capital are of a wide variety and amazing number!
Companies, consortiums, organizations, and various individuals who come to the imperial capital to look for opportunities all poured into this central place of the starry sea world like a tide!
The entire star system, as well as the entire Tianhua Star Domain, and more than ten nearby bustling star domains, almost every unmanned planet that can be developed and utilized has been occupied by large and small corporate groups. Even the land prices on the most remote planet have been hyped to a jaw-dropping level!
In just a few years, the population of the imperial capital has doubled several times! It has exceeded the maximum carrying capacity of the local resources and environment! For this reason, the imperial capital government had to temporarily implement a population control and access system! However, such clauses that violate the constitution can only be a temporary measure. If you want to fundamentally solve the problem, you have to consider the plan separately!
Recently, some experts have proposed that the senior officials of the empire consider the possibility of moving the capital! Regardless of whether the Starry Empire can unify the entire Star Sea in the future, the Tianhua Star Domain can no longer assume all the functions of being the capital of this super empire!
However, moving the capital is not a trivial matter, it involves all aspects of the problem! It is hard to imagine that the noble officials who have a considerable number of industries in the imperial capital alone would support such a plan! Even if it is beneficial to the empire, there are countless conflicts of interest, and it is a lot of problems! Even the current imperial cabinet has to take into account three points and weigh carefully!
Moreover, even if the capital is to be moved, there is no more suitable star field that can be used as the imperial capital! It must be a star field that takes into account the natural environment, economy, administration, transportation, military and other factors. After comprehensive verification, a star field that must meet the standards in all aspects is qualified!
The first criterion is that the ecological planets of the imperial capital star system, or the planets that can be transformed into ecological planets must not be less than fifteen! This alone is enough to eliminate most of the alternative star fields within the empire’s territory!
The conditions of the Tianhua Star Domain are among the top among the nine superpower capitals! To find a star domain that has completely surpassed its conditions in all aspects, looking at the entire Star Sea World, apart from the capital of the Bojiang Empire, there is really no other one!
Therefore, this matter can only be at the argumentation stage at present! In the foreseeable future, there is no possibility of becoming a reality!
The spacecraft landed at the spaceport near the Fourth Planet. After more stringent security checks, the father and son were allowed to take the orbital elevator to the surface of the planet, and then transfer to the city.
"It's this place, get off the bus!" The middle-aged man looked at the message on his brain and said to the two children.
Outside, a large hotel full of the star-like style of the remote border of the empire stands in front of you!
"It's exactly the same!" He said in surprise and confusion.
"Is this the industry of that person? Otherwise, who would copy the 'Heart of the Ocean' on Muyun Star here?"
"It looks very familiar!" the girl said in surprise.
"It seems that it is the hotel we saw on Muyunxing when we were young. Dad, you took us there to have dinner!"
"Yes, that's it!" he said, "Let's go in! They'll be here soon!"
Regardless of whether it is, after meeting that guy, everything will come to light! After not seeing him for several years, he really wants to see what his former friend is now!
