In the old Eiffel Tower, in the Federation Building on the west side of the Sydney Opera House, countless flashing lights illuminated the handsome face of the ancient evil.

  It has been half a month since the incident at Krenburg Palace, and during this half-month period, all federal media have been overwhelmingly publicizing Gu Xianchen's heroic deeds. The lower house of the Federal Parliament passed by an overwhelming majority a bill to allow Gu Xianchen to fill the vacant seat in parliament.

  His raven-black hair was tied back in a ponytail, revealing a sharp jawline and prominent facial features. He wore a sleek black tuxedo with a crisp white shirt and a perfectly knotted butterfly bow tie. His bright smile perfectly embodied the essence of gentlemanly elegance. Standing at nearly 1.9 meters tall, his physique was as majestic as a towering pine tree, yet despite his imposing stature, he exuded an aura that put everyone at ease, making them feel like they were basking in a warm spring breeze.

  His long sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, and in his dark eyes occasionally flashed a mysterious blue light. His straight nose and tightly pursed lips added a few strands of firmness to his soft facial features. The occasional slight curl at the corner of his mouth brought an evil smile, which gave Gu Xuan extra mysterious charm.

  A federal medal made of an alloy of red gold, yellow enough and white silver hangs on the left chest, shining brightly, and the exquisite shape of the medal attracts many people's attention.

  "One, Federal Pioneer Medal. This is to commend the merits of Kuxia Dust Heaven Star, this medal was awarded by the Federation Senate ten minutes ago."

  One, Special Class Purple Heart Medal. This is to commemorate the great achievement of annihilating dozens of Roman first-class warships by Gu Xie Chen, awarded by the Federal Military Department fifteen minutes ago.

  The "Great Nebula Medal" was awarded to Gu Xiechen for his contribution of bamboo slips, which made a great contribution to the Federal Academy of Sciences, and was issued by the Federal Academy of Sciences twenty minutes ago.

  Three medals were neatly lined up on Gu Xiadun's chest, and since the establishment of the Federation after the 93rd Federal Self-Defense Counterattack War, only Gu Xiadun had been able to obtain these three medals at the same time.

  On the light screen of the temple, Gu Xuan's deeds were being played back and forth, with many shots contributed by the battlefield recorder of the Hades Defense Company. From Gu Xuan's entry into Alpha Star City to his appearance in Tianyang Star, until he gave the Romans a heavy blow, destroying dozens of Roman first-class warships with the most unimaginable and simplest means, all the scenes that highlighted Gu Xuan's heroic, fearless, and majestic image appeared like flowing water.

  For nearly a month now, although such scenes have appeared countless times in the news programs of major media outlets across the country, the scene was still filled with constant applause and cheers.

  This is a press conference specially held by the Federal Parliament for Gu Xianchen, with dignitaries from various fields of the Federation and nearly a thousand journalists from major media outlets in attendance.

  When Gu Xiadun appeared on the stage with a smile like spring breeze, accompanied by thunderous applause, the atmosphere on the scene entered a new climax. The sky was filled with crimson rose petals falling from above, countless ribbons and balloons bursting out, and the military band played "The Great Federal March" with passion and fullness. The high-pitched and stirring march made many people in the audience jump up involuntarily, waving their arms and applauding enthusiastically to welcome Gu Xiadun.

  The youngest member of the House of Representatives in the Federation, who made great contributions to the Federation, Kuya Dust, officially appeared in front of everyone.

  Standing proudly on the podium, under the spotlight, Gu Xie dust elegantly swept a strand of hair hanging down to his forehead back behind his head. With the most proud and elegant smile on his face, he was secretly cursing in his heart "Damn it, this fake fruit grown with growth hormone is really not as good as the original one, why can't they just listen? These idiots, when will they finish asking those stupid questions?"

  Federal Parliament Speaker Jean-Joan appeared on the podium, following closely behind Gu Xianchen, his appearance almost causing the already frenzied atmosphere to explode.

  Yang An walked up to the host of the wine party with a smile, took over the microphone handed over by the host, and gently waved his hand. The scene suddenly became quiet.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I think no further introduction is needed. Mr. Gu Xiechen, the hero who has made outstanding contributions to the Federation, his deeds don't need me to repeat them, all the beautiful words can't describe the great contributions he has made to the Federation!" Let Joanne smile and walk over, grasping Gu Xiechen's left hand high up, suddenly another round of applause erupted on the scene.

  "After hundreds of years, the great Earth Federation has gone through wind and rain. In these hundreds of years, through the efforts of all our federal citizens, we have solved the energy problem, we have solved the environmental pollution problem, we have solved the food problem, we have solved the disease problem, we have solved the various problems that have plagued humanity on earth for countless years."

  "But we've encountered new problems!"

  "The United Federation's population, on August 3rd, 2373 at 15:32:38, officially broke through the 5 billion mark. We welcomed the 5 billionth citizen of the Earth Federation... The small planet is facing enormous population pressure, our citizens are living like sardines in a can." Joe Ann's words caused laughter and sighs on the scene.

  Everyone in the venue became serious, the federal population issue, a dark cloud hanging over everyone's head. After solving energy, environment, food, disease and other issues, human natural lifespan generally broke through 150 years old, and the ability to reproduce offspring with greatly enhanced physical quality was also greatly enhanced. Although the Federation took various measures, the population figures continued to increase. Not only on Earth itself, but even on the moon, it was crowded with people.

  "It is well known that although the Earth Federation has eleven colonized stars, due to the immaturity of interstellar navigation technology and the harsh natural environment and ferocious native creatures on the eleven colonized stars, only three billion citizens live on the eleven colonized stars."

  Everyone present sighed at the same time, the immaturity of interstellar travel technology, in short, the volume of transport ships was not large enough to accommodate more immigrants; The engine of the transport ship was also not powerful enough to shuttle back and forth between Earth and the colonies faster. The Earth Federation now has eleven colonial fleets, each fleet can only accommodate a maximum of three million immigrants at a time, among which the nearest colony to Earth takes two and a half months in subspace flight, while the farthest colony from Earth takes five years and nine months in subspace flight, and also needs to jump through three wormholes to reach.

  In this case, large-scale immigration becomes extremely difficult, let alone replenishing various consumables for immigrants on the colonial star. Medical supplies, energy, and ammunition used for protection, etc., 70% of the consumables on the resource-poor colonial star need to be supplemented from Earth, which not only limits the degree of immigration of the colonial star but also hinders the continuous environmental renovation project of the colonial star.

  "Jiǎo dàn shì, suǒ yǒu de zhè xiē kùn nan, dōu yīn wèi gǔ nòng. Chén xiān shēng yíng rèn ér jiě!"

  Translation:

  "This is all because of Gu Nong's mischief! Mr. Chen will easily solve it!"

  Qiao An let out a loud whoop of excitement, Gu Xiechen took two steps forward, smiling and bowing to everyone present, showing off his humble and courteous gentlemanly demeanor.

  "Heavenly Star, a perfect natural environment, rich in natural resources, with an area four times that of the Earth's home planet, and without the disturbance of ferocious beasts and strange creatures. According to calculations by the Federal Academy of Sciences, Heavenly Star can easily accommodate 380 billion Federation immigrants!"

  Everyone on the scene applauded and cheered wildly.

  "Mr. Gu Xiechen's ancient bamboo slips presented to the Earth Federation Academy of Sciences also recorded more than a dozen new alloy formulas, these new alloys have unbelievable strong properties, we will be able to build more robust spaceships, more powerful engines, we will be able to build immigrant giant ships over 5,000 meters long in space, in the future our immigrant fleet, can send 50 million immigrants to Paradise Star at one time! Moreover, Paradise Star is only a month's flight time away from Earth, even for slow-moving immigrant ships!"

  "A new planet, a planet with infinite resources; A perfect planet, a planet tailor-made for humanity; A brand-new planet, a planet full of endless opportunities!"

  With a flourish of his hand, Joann boomed out, "Hail, fellow citizens! According to the Federal Academy of Sciences' estimates, due to the upcoming package of shipbuilding plans and immigration plans, and due to the opening plan for Heaven Star in the future, the unemployment rate of the Federation will be zero within the next fifty years!"

  "Oh, sorry, within the next fifty years, the term 'unemployment rate' will disappear from the federal dictionary!"

  At this point, Qiao An's face turned purple-red, and with a red glow all over his face, he tightly hugged Gu Xiechen!

  Applause like thunder, cheers like thunder, the atmosphere on the scene fell into madness.

  As JoAnn said, a star from heaven will bring countless new opportunities for the Earth Federation! Unemployment rate? Go to hell! With such a large planet to be fully opened up, labor will become the scarcest resource. Unemployment rate? Oh, go to ***!

  To put it in the most vulgar terms, once 380 billion federal citizens flood into the Heavenly Star to build new city clusters, the demand for street cleaners is astronomical! Just cleaning up the septic tanks of public toilets can create tens of billions of jobs! Not to mention the manpower needed for manufacturing industries. Building a 5,000-meter-long immigrant ship requires an astronomical number of screws, and a spare parts order for a giant immigrant ship might be able to support dozens of companies.

  Not to mention that the Galactic Federation of Earth is now at war with the Romans; every shot fired represents tens of thousands of new jobs created, and every missile launched represents a few more digits added to the federation's GNP.
