Chapter 735: The Tripartite Triangle
The center of the Federation, the Twin Tree Star Region.
Billions of stars shone in the night sky, forming a brilliant illusory sun, releasing a halo similar to the Red Lotus Crown.
Under the illumination of this crown constructed by stars, the red glow that originally covered the entire sky began to dissipate, and a clear boundary line was formed in the sky, with red glow on one side and light blue and white on the other.
The two sides were deadlocked, facing each other in the sea of stars, and the brilliance of the two crowns intertwined with each other, forming a chaotic ripple in this star region.
As time passed slowly, the friction between the two powers became more and more intense, and white-blue and red flames began to fall from the sky, and some asteroids in the star region were also crushed by the intertwined force fields.
Seeing that the battle between the two sides would affect the "World Tree" planet, the stationed Fourth Fleet issued a notice, hoping that the two sides would calm down the fight as soon as possible and enter the negotiation stage. If either side did not fulfill their promise after two star hours, they would join the other side to suppress it.
After this warning was issued, the fight between the two sides finally stopped slowly, and then the strange light in the sky gradually dissipated, and everything on the planet returned to normal.
A few days later, the news of this fight spread throughout the Federation and was known to all parties. Half a month later, negotiations were officially held on the planet where the World Tree lived. The participants included not only the representatives of the Star Children Alliance, the major faction groups in the central star field, but also representatives from various star regions.
At the meeting, someone accused the faction that Pulin Koko belonged to of being too violent and causing great harm to the elves of the Federation. Such remarks were supported by representatives from the three major star regions of the southeast and west of the Star Children.
Therefore, under pressure from all parties, Pulin Koko's faction had to give up many positions in the Federation Central Council, giving up the seats that the Devouring Elves faction had obtained not long ago.
Since then, the seats in the Federal Parliament were occupied by the human faction in the Central Star Region, 46%, the Star Children Alliance, 18%, the major star regions, and 6% by other neutral forces. If three months ago, the Pan-Elf faction still occupied 26%, now their seats have been completely excluded, most of which were inherited by the Star Children Alliance, and a small part was swallowed up by the human faction.
After the protest of the Star Children Alliance and the support of the major star regions, the previously issued bill to deprive the elves of their property and land was cancelled, but as a concession, the human faction in the Central Star Region stated that the destruction and losses caused to the elves during this period would not be compensated, because at that time, the laws of the Federation were correctly implemented.
Although all parties were very dissatisfied and felt that this result was simply an insult, the strength of all parties formed a delicate balance at this time, and no one could break it by themselves, so they could only compromise in the end.
In addition to political struggles and mediation, the technical strength demonstrated by the Star Children Alliance this time made all parties jealous and interested, and a huge discussion was also set off within the Federation.
"Why has the Federation's technology been stagnant for hundreds of years?"
"Why are the Star Children always better than the Human Children?"
"Why didn't any rumors spread before? Is it an act of betrayal for the Federation that the Star Children deliberately concealed the iterative progress of technology?"
"What is the illusory sun constructed by the stars? Does this mean that mankind has embarked on a brand new path, a path that does not rely on 'singers' to become strong?"
After the Star Children Alliance showed its strength this time, various discussions jumped out like boiling water in a frying pan, and they were fierce and endless.

Four-leaf Crystal Star Region, Emerald Skirt, Gladiolus Manor.
In the brightly lit courtyard, blood maids can occasionally be seen walking by. They are carrying out their routine activities and patrolling the surrounding environment.
In the second-floor room of the mansion, Tilan and Ores sat on a light white woven sofa, leaning against each other, with a thin blanket covering their legs, looking at the pictures and images projected in front of them.
"Senior Ewen Qilin survived."
Orles said happily. She didn't care much about the complicated and treacherous politics of today. She was just worried about the beautiful and gentle singing sister she had met before.
"Well, but the central star field should be a mess now." Tilan thought about it.
If it follows the original script, although there will be a short-term chaos, it should be able to stabilize quickly after the absolute strength of Pulin Keke's faction.
Now it is like an unfinished project that was stopped halfway through. It hit the elf faction, but it was not completely cut off and could not continue. This made a large group of group forces supporting Pulin Keke feel uncomfortable.
Although the elf faction survived, the situation is by no means good. A large amount of asset losses are inevitable, and many of the interests occupied in the past will have to be spit out.
The Star Children Alliance should be the biggest winner. They seized the golden opportunity this time, emerged as a new force, and gained the authority of the highest level of the Federation and a large number of seats in the parliament. You should know that in the past, the Star Children have always been outside the mainstream voice and have not had much influence. This is not because their overall strength is weak, but because they are too scattered and fragmented, distributed in various corners of the Federation, and have no system.
For each star region, this is also good news, because this internal struggle, the internal consumption of the major forces in the Central Star Region has once again weakened its influence, but what is worrying is that the rise of the "Star Children" Alliance has also exceeded many people's expectations, and there is a kind of panic that is caught off guard.
It is one thing to laugh at the internal struggle in the Central Star Region, but if such a thing happens on your side, it is not so funny.
Although the cause and intelligence of the Star Children Alliance cannot be publicly interrogated and investigated, the actions of all parties in private are inevitable.
The two watched the news broadcast and the feedback from various star regions. Occasionally, Tilan explained to Orles the causes and reasons behind these news. Although Orles listened attentively at first, she soon evaded.
"It's so complicated. Orles doesn't understand." She hugged Tilan and put her head on the thin blanket, saying in a coquettish tone that she hoped Tilan would stop talking.
"Okay, let's stop here today." Tilan touched Orles's smooth silver hair and let her rest on her legs. She continued to think about the various changes that the rise of the "Child of the Star" had brought to the Federation.
First and foremost, it broke the iron rule that the Federation must have a singing girl to guide it. The sun constructed by the stars is like another way to take a different path, giving hope to many groups that used to be outside the mainstream.
After all, singing girls are rare, and there are too many powerful groups around them. Small factions and organizations cannot get in touch with them at all, and they don't have enough capital to cooperate with singing girls. They can only look at them with envy. The special technology displayed by the "Children of the Stars" this time simply broke the Federation's upper monopoly on the "singers" resources and opened up a new path.
It can be predicted that this technology will be favored by countless new forces, and they will do everything possible to learn and use it to fight against the trend of singing girls controlled by the Federation.
Secondly, the fighter planes that spread their wings across the sky are also eye-catching. If this kind of super-time and space navigation technology is promoted, will it mean that the cost and cost of interstellar transportation will be greatly reduced? This will completely change the structure of civilization, making resources that were previously far away and too expensive to mine have great value again. At the same time, changes in trade methods will also reconstruct today's economic environment.
At this time, even Tilan felt that the future of the Federation was shrouded in various turbulent waves, and it was difficult to discern the direction.
"The Star Children have really broken the situation this time..."
Recalling the scenes of contact with the Star Children in the past, the most impressive was in high school, when she and a group of classmates went to the "Crystal Grid Academy" for exchange studies.
"Welcome to the Crystal Grid Academy, Tilan, we are the successors of the "Age of Advancement", the Star Children who admire the "Lofty Truth", and the spiritual successors of the "Tracing Cloud" faction." At that time, President Ed's words once again surrounded her ears.
Unlike the Federation residents who live on the planet, most of the Star Children live in space. They were born in various space stations and have been accustomed to a weightless environment since childhood, living in various modular spaces, and accustomed to describing everything with precise data.
In the traditional concept or common cognition of the "Sons of Man", flowers and plants live on the earth, trees and forests bear fruit, and various animals run freely in the world.
But for the Sons of Stars, the world is not like this. Plants grow in a properly matched solution. Its formula is (dosage unit: mg/L): 950 calcium nitrate, 810 potassium nitrate, 500 magnesium sulfate, 155 diammonium phosphate, 15-25 sodium EDTA iron salt, 3 boric acid, 2 manganese sulfate, 0.22 zinc sulfate, 0.05 copper sulfate, 0.02 sodium molybdate or ammonium molybdate. As long as there is enough light and nutrition, plants can grow in any culture vessel.
For the Sons of Man, breathing is not something that needs to be deliberately paid attention to, but the Sons of Stars are very clear about the ratio of each component in the air. In order to improve their work and study efficiency, they will consciously fine-tune the oxygen content, and in order to fall asleep quickly, they will adjust the carbon dioxide concentration in the room.
In the world of the Sons of Man, many things have romantic and vague images, but in the eyes of the Sons of Stars, the world should be clear and composed of various components or necessary parts.
The world is a vast land, and travel is the knowledge and experience from one land to another. This is the concept of the Sons of Man.
The world is a series of different small islands. As long as the island has a "life support module" and a "power module", the people on it can survive, and with various "living modules", "education modules" and "catering modules", the people on it can live happily. This is the common sense and concept of the Sons of Stars.
If the concepts and customs of the Sons of Man still retain many instincts and romantic sensibilities brought by biological evolution, the Sons of Stars are obviously much more rational. They prefer a world with clear divisions and order.
"If this superluminal technology is popularized, then the resource problems that have limited the "Son of Star" space station in the past will be greatly alleviated, and humans will be able to greatly expand their scope of activities and even step out of the Milky Way." Tilan whispered, imagining possible future situations.
However, her influence among the Star Children is not high, because the residents who benefit from the Dragon Vein System are basically the Sons of Man. It is impossible to build such a system on the space station. The space required is too large, the cost is too high, and the cost performance is extremely low. I will
have more contact with them in the future, Tilan thought.

Time flies.
With the rise of the Star Children Alliance, this niche group has received more and more attention in the past. Many residents on the ground of the planets have also begun to be curious about the "Star Children" in the starry sky. Various space station experience-based tourism has begun to rise in the Federation. The details of the life, habits, traditions, cultural styles, etc. of the "Star Children" have also become popular in the Federation, and these are often linked to symbols such as "advanced" and "scientific".
After several months of difficult running-in, the old forces of the Federal Central Council have reluctantly accepted the rise of this emerging faction, and various proposals and policies related to the Star Children have frequently appeared in conference discussions.
In order to make better use of this advanced space propulsion technology, many planets and star regions that were abandoned in the past due to poor development conditions began to be used, and the Star Children faction poured a lot of resources and personnel into these projects. They firmly believed that the development of these projects would not only boost the economy of the Federation, but also gradually expand the influence of the Star Children in the Federation, and ultimately change the course of human civilization.
For a time, these projects became the most concerned points in the Federation. Many people regarded them as large-scale economic development and boosting projects that could be equal to the "Emerald Dragon" plan. Not only the central star region, but also other star regions have expressed that they will send observation groups to observe and learn during the development.
At the end of the year, after more than half a year of turmoil, the Federation finally returned to stability again. The development plan of the Star Children Alliance is proceeding in an orderly manner. They also imitated the "Emerald Dragon" to form a powerful organizational alliance to manage the numerous personnel and various forces involved in this plan.
After discussion, the newly established organization was named "Brilliant Stars". Needless to say, "Bright Stars" represents the form and project vision of the Star Children, and "Brilliant" expresses the meaning of lighting up the stars, and on the other hand, it commemorates the biggest contributor to the establishment of the "Star Children" Alliance, Brilliant Star Alana. The little discovery she and her companions made that year eventually became the cornerstone of the establishment of the "Star Children" Alliance.
After that, the major groups in the central star field began to negotiate with the Star Children Alliance to inject capital and provide personnel resources for the "Brilliant Stars" organization. All of this is to cope with the huge pressure brought by the "Emerald Dragon", so that the people and capital in the central star region can regain confidence and participate in it, so that the capital in the hands of the major groups will no longer depreciate, but will once again gain a continuous growth point.
Faced with the proposal of the Central Star Region United Group, the Star Children Alliance finally chose to agree. On the one hand, they did lack manpower and material resources. After all, the "Star Children" accounted for no more than 5% of the Federation's population, and the resources of the major space stations were far less abundant than those of the Sons of Man who controlled the planets. Secondly, cooperation with these groups could greatly eliminate conflicts and make the originally weak Star Children Alliance rapidly grow stronger.
After that, the Federation Central Council was controlled by the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' united faction. They once again completely controlled most of the seats in the Federation Central Council, suppressed the steps of the major star regions to break away from independence, and relied on the project plans of the 'Brilliant Stars' organization to once again gather many discrete star regions together and bind them to the central star region.
The wheel of history rolled forward. After several years of turbulence and upheaval, a three-legged trend was formed within the Federation. They were the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' united faction headed by Pulin Koko, the western 'Rose Court' led by Blanche, and the 'Emerald Dragon' formed by Heshia Tilan in the southern star region.
The three parties have their own cores, constantly deploying resources from all parties under their control, and gradually embarking on different development paths.
