More than half a year has passed since I returned to my own universe and rested my fleet.
The original feeling of being chased by an unknown existence was also slightly relieved.
But to ensure everything went smoothly, Chang Wei still chose to use up the mission reward before it even warmed up, leaving it to the system to clean up and cover up. Working for nothing three times in a row, even paying for it, made Chang Wei want to curse.
How could his luck have been so bad back then? He had actually stumbled upon a feeding universe, thus provoking the unknown existence behind it. Damn it.
Fortunately, the Protoss are a grateful and morally upright race. In order to repay Chang Wei for saving their lives, they eventually chose to join the Light Chaser fleet and came to this strange universe together.
In order to welcome their joining, Chang Wei not only gave them enough autonomy, but also divided out a large galaxy for them to live, reproduce and develop.
Originally, the Protoss refused this favor. They were new to the world, unfamiliar with the place, and educated in humility and modesty. They were content with just a decent planet to inhabit.
But Chang Wei then told Xing Ling the general situation of the universe.
That is, under the sifting of the Great Filter, the universe today is vast and empty, with a vast number of unowned galaxies, ripe for exploration and occupation. As for advanced civilizations, they are extremely rare and scarce in this universe. Unless one deliberately seeks out one or is lucky, encountering another civilization is unlikely.
Therefore, Chang Wei's gift of several star systems to the Protoss wasn't a huge favor. His original intention was simply to show the Protoss his sincerity and to help them recover quickly. After all, they had just experienced a near-annihilation war and were in urgent need of recuperation.
Furthermore, in order to strengthen the intimacy and sense of identity between them and the Light Chasers, Chang Wei also specially arranged for his subordinates to hold several large-scale parties and celebrations.
Although the characters of the Protoss are generally serious and dull, they gradually integrated into this relaxed and happy atmosphere and soon became friends with the cute cats and dogs Fury, the immature Transformers, and the lively human brothers.
In reality, the Light Chaser Fleet hadn't held any large-scale social events in a long time. Chang Wei had taken advantage of the fleet's extended rest period to let his men have some fun and relax, which was also Chang Wei's own request. Of course, Chang Wei had also properly addressed the soldiers who died during the mission, as well as Tuo Xu, who sacrificed his life while protecting him.
Since returning, there have been quite a few trivial matters piled up in the Light Chasers' territory, but they have been handled relatively smoothly.
However, there were some things that were beyond Chang Wei's expectations, that was the amazing reproductive capacity of the cat and dog Furui.
Because of the system's space-time anchor point, whenever the Light Chaser fleet returned from a mission, the time difference between the two universes wasn't too great. However, when accumulated over time, this number was still quite significant.
For example, this time I set out for the Warhammer 40,000 universe and stayed there for over a year. Later, to escape the pursuit of an unknown entity, I even went to the StarCraft II universe. Although I didn't spend much time in the StarCraft II universe, the time difference between the two universes was extended, which is equivalent to spending a year away.
Now, after returning two or three years later, he discovered that not only had the Light Chaser's star region expanded a bit, but the population of Cat and Dog Fury had also experienced explosive growth.
Why?
Subsequent reports revealed that, unlike humans, Fury cats and dogs have a reproductive rate and number of offspring that far exceeds that of humans in order to cope with the frequent natural disasters and the high mortality rate.
The average litter size is 5 to 7 puppies, with some having 1 to 3 puppies and others having 12 puppies. Furthermore, they can give birth 2 to 4 times a year.
If the mortality rate had been the same as before, the population of cats and dogs in Furui would have tended to reach equilibrium after reaching a certain stage. However, since the advanced medical and sanitation technology brought by the Light Chasers, as well as large-scale scientific planting and high-yield crops, coupled with a wide variety of nutritional supplements and countless industrially processed foods, the population has become more and more diverse.
As a result, the number and lifespan of cats, dogs, and Furies has increased significantly. From the initial population of around 500,000 each when they were rescued, it has expanded exponentially to 35.32 billion today! Their populations now number in the thousands, even on thousands of planets.
This number is already exaggerated!
Although the consumption of medical care, food, education, and daily necessities can keep up in the short term, if things continue to develop in this way, bad things may happen.
This will not only place a heavy burden and pressure on logistics and production units, but will also breed the possibility of rebellion.
As per capita rations continue to decrease, some powerful individuals will undoubtedly harbor ulterior motives. To maintain their own interests, or even to gain more resources, they might grow dissatisfied with the Light Chasers' rule, leading to riots or uprisings. Or they might even lead a portion of their tribe to split off and expand unchecked across the universe.
This expansion will even spread to the solar system and then be destroyed by the explorer civilization!
These are not what Chang Wei wants to see.
Therefore, in response to this issue, Chang Wei held an internal emergency meeting.
