July, Year 1 of the Hope Calendar.
Developing a new planet is a very tedious task. It is not just a matter of throwing billions of people over there. There are too many problems waiting to be solved.
Even though these people had been sent in batches to avoid problems, when Li Bai and Yang Jia returned to Hope Star, they were immediately caught in a pile of debris.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the equipment that carries the flight system on Hope Star has long been manufactured and assembled, and also occupies a separate building. However, due to technological improvements, one-third of the original 100-story building has been cut down, leaving only 33 floors.
Even so, this building has become one of the landmark buildings on Hope Star.
It's simply because, after living in so many high-rise buildings on Earth, humans simply don't have much of a love for them anymore. Anyway, they hope that the planets have ample space, more than enough to accommodate so many people. If that's the case, then urban construction wouldn't need to be so intense.
Therefore, most buildings are only eleven or twelve stories high, with countless five- or six-story structures. Because they are all standard buildings, villas haven't appeared yet. However, once humans are fully settled, land is allocated, and self-construction is allowed, they will undoubtedly begin to appear like mushrooms after rain.
In this case, the 33-story building can be said to be a high-rise building that stands out from the crowd.
"The Thirty-Three Heavens!" Zhuo Tianyang snapped his fingers upon seeing the building for the first time. "What a creative idea! I feel like I've become so much more noble just by being here."
Hmm… Surrounding this landmark building were the experimental buildings for the various project teams in the game world, so it was natural for everyone to gather here again. The Tianyang Research Institute was naturally incorporated into the system. Although Zhuo Tianyang wasn't a researcher, his special status allowed him to sneak in as well.
Yang Jia ignored his joke and after watching outside for a while, he went into the building alone.
To prevent anyone from damaging the equipment, the building is surrounded by patrolling guards.
As for why they didn't just build the building in a safer place, instead of making it so conspicuous... Actually, Yang Jia had been trying to store his data online and back it up, so that he could rely entirely on the network and no longer need such bulky equipment. By then, these things would become a deception, so it was better to be more obvious.
Yang Jia started the system, connected to the network, and restored the decomposed data bit by bit, reconstructing the extremely familiar game world.
There are only a few NPCs here now, making it seem quite deserted. But it doesn't matter, soon many players will appear here and bring life back to this continent.
——When they closed the game, they issued a notice asking everyone to keep their ID cards. The game will continue to be released in the future, and everyone can continue their gaming journey on Hope Star.
However, other people are responsible for these matters. What Yang Jia needs to do is to use the system's computing power to make a new overall plan for the Hope Star, which now seems to be in a mess, and make reasonable arrangements after sorting and analyzing various data.
In fact, it is similar to building a new world with data, and this is what the FeiTian system is best at.
Afterwards, Hope Star will carry out various expansions in accordance with this general direction, gradually turning this originally unfamiliar planet into a human territory.
Of course, before sending people out, all humans need to receive injections of evolutionary vaccines, otherwise it will not be them who conquer the Star of Hope, but they will be conquered.
Compared to the surviving population of Earth, the production of vaccines is far too low. This is also the reason that limits the pace of human expansion. Otherwise, in the five years since the start of the Great Migration, a lot of things have happened.
When Yang Jia was busy, Li Bai was not idle either. He had to make various overall arrangements and occasionally take people to the front line.
——Hope Star Base had previously re-surveyed the planet several times, and the final conclusion was that there might be some large creatures hidden in the depths of the forest that they were completely unfamiliar with, and the danger level was extremely high.
Even though more and more humans have made great improvements through the injection of evolutionary vaccines, they had previously speculated that this kind of physical fitness is the "standard configuration" of Hope Star, which means that this kind of strength is mediocre on Hope Star, just like they were ordinary people on Earth before they were vaccinated.
The pace of Earth's human conquest of the world has been accompanied by countless bloodshed and sacrifices, and this place is no exception.
So the initial expansion was fine, after all, the surrounding environment had been cleared. However, as the front line advanced further and further, the danger level increased, and they needed to send specialized personnel to explore. And as one of the only two people who could wear a mecha, Li Bai naturally had the responsibility.
While Li Bai was working on the front line, Yang Jia, who was in charge of the rear, immediately held an unconventional conference after completing his work.
The relationship between Li Bai and Yang Jia might not have been clear before, but it's now clear. So when Li Bai helps Yang Jia solve problems, and Yang Jia handles things on Li Bai's behalf, no one thinks there's anything wrong. After all, the couple might discuss these things behind closed doors, so it's nothing serious.
Besides, Yang Jia also has the title of Queen in the game. Although not everyone plays the game, her influence cannot be underestimated.
So there is no problem in initiating this meeting.
But the issues under discussion are a bit... well, that's it.
"Establish a country?" After reading the proposal, everyone present looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
After the chaotic period ends and humanity settles down again, this issue will inevitably be put on the agenda. So, to say these people haven't considered it before is a lie. But it's definitely a time-consuming matter, best left unresolved until it's absolutely necessary. With everyone joining forces, even Li Bai won't be able to suppress it. By then, forming their own nation will be a natural progression.
But now Yang Jia has taken the initiative, and they haven't yet contacted each other privately, so they can't make a decent decision at all.
This is exactly the effect Yang Jia wants.
Anyway, she had arranged a lot of people to help her in this meeting, so she wasn't afraid that the final result wouldn't be what she wanted.
Sure enough, halfway through the meeting, many people realized this - today they only brought their eyes and ears, and no mouths at all. Even if they spoke, Yang Jia would not listen at all.
So, constitutional monarchy was brought up again.
"We are one people on Earth, and the same will be true on Planet Hope," Qin Yan said passionately. "I hope you all understand one thing! From now on, humanity has entered the interstellar age! This vast, seemingly boundless universe is waiting for us to explore and conquer! But this cannot be accomplished by one person or a group of people. It requires the combined strength of all mankind! Therefore, the establishment of a complete constitutional monarchy is imperative!"
I don’t know how many people were convinced by these words, but when it came to the final vote, most people raised their hands obediently.
"More than two-thirds of the people agree with this proposal, so it's settled," Yang Jia said. "Next is the election time. I nominate Li Bai as the queen."
By now, everyone knew what Yang Jia was planning, so no one raised any objections. Even when Yang Jia suggested that these matters be kept secret from Li Bai for the time being, no one objected.
The meeting ended successfully, and it was time to prepare for the coronation ceremony.
"You two are really interesting. You are organizing this coronation ceremony exactly as if it were a wedding!" Zhuo Tianyang couldn't help but complain.
After his reminder, Yang Jia suddenly realized that she and Li Bai seemed to be missing a wedding. It didn't have to be grand, but the ceremony held a very solemn meaning for the parties involved, and it certainly couldn't be omitted if given the chance.
Then let’s wait until the ceremony is over, Yang Jia thought.
March 1, Year 2 of the Hope Calendar.
Li Bai finally ended his journey that lasted for more than half a year. After returning to the base, he found that the atmosphere here was a bit weird.
But before she could react and figure out what was going on, she was taken away by Yang Jia.
After washing and changing clothes, she was escorted to the coronation ceremony. Only then did Li Bai realize that Yang Jia had returned the favor with a similarly generous gift. Of course, compared to the jokingly playful Empress in the game, the importance of this identity in reality was far more clear.
but……
"Didn't you say that after all this is over, we'll retire and live a peaceful and stable life?" Li Bai asked Yang Jia, "What's the point of all this trouble now?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any delays." Yang Jia said, "It's a constitutional monarchy after all. The people who are truly responsible for managing the country are the Prime Minister and the House of Representatives, right?"
A few days later, Li Bai understood what Yang Jia meant.
That day, the two held a small banquet—though it was called a banquet, everyone in attendance knew it was Yang Jia and Li Bai's wedding banquet, and they simply didn't plan to make a big fuss. Although same-sex marriage was commonplace today, and it wasn't unusual for the Queen to have it happen, neither of them wanted to be bothered by another grand ceremony.
Both of them drank too much at the banquet and left early.
On their wedding night, everyone was very understanding of the newlyweds' feelings, so leaving early was understandable, and not being able to get up in the morning was also understandable, so no one bothered them. But it was too much that no one got up in the afternoon.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally elected a representative to take on this unpleasant task.
As a result, I called at the door for a long time but there was no response. Finally, I activated the central system to open the door, only to find that the room was empty.
Only a flamboyantly written document remained on the table.
The gist of it was that the newlyweds were going on their honeymoon, and that the subsequent tedious government affairs would be fully delegated to the present. After all, they all had seats in the House of Representatives and generally held three or two important positions.
Everyone: “…”
Damn, emperors have always been very cunning, I’ve seen it all!
