During the period of returning to Binjiang City, Xu Lei also had a clearer understanding of the current situation of Earth Star.

The first is the Human Security Alliance.

After humans returned to the planet, with the joint vote of the members of the House of Representatives, the Alliance Headquarters was established in the imperial capital to be responsible for the management of various matters on the global and extraterrestrial planets.

Make related processes more comprehensive.

But so far no full council meeting has been held.

Most of the time there are not enough people.

This time, because of his return, the councilors from all over the country rushed to Binjiang City at the first time.

There is also the battleship aspect.

With the expansion of the low-Earth orbit spaceship factory, the manufacturing speed of the heavy hammer cruiser has been greatly increased.

Including the original number of warships, the total has reached thirty.

Divided into three fleets.

Among them, Lei Zhan served as the commander of the First Fleet.

Zhang Jingtong is the deputy conductor.

Gustav Bear and North Magnate are in charge of the Second and Third Fleets.

The current main task is to be responsible for the safety of the solar system and build a defensive ring.

In addition, the battleship seized from Mesti has been repaired by many top engineers, and has also restored all functions. It is temporarily incorporated into the fleet to serve as the space command, and it is also the strongest space weapon force of mankind at the moment.

Except for the moon and Mars.

The Alliance Fleet has already started heading towards Saturn's moon.

Prepare to build more exoplanet cities.

The largest of them, Titan, plans to build a brand new shipyard on it to prepare for the manufacture of medium-sized warships.

Because medium-sized battleships are generally equipped with anti-matter engines, there is no need to worry about power, and there is no need to build them in space like heavy hammer cruisers.

But in order to achieve the desired effect, there is still a lack of related technologies.

After all, without Xu Lei, in the face of unknown advanced civilization technology, a large number of scientists must go forward and spend a lot of time to prove it.

Saturday.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

Unlike the usual lively working environment, the atmosphere today is particularly serious.

Around the battleship headquarters building, many members of the space army equipped with laser weapons can be seen.

Escort the convening of the alliance meeting.

"Mr. Xu Lei, it's great to see you again. I knew you would come back safely."

In the council hall, before the meeting officially started, Lei Zhan and Zhang Jingtong came to Xu Lei with excitement, and greeted Xu Lei with a slightly trembling voice.

Knowing that the two of them are now in charge of the Alliance's First Fleet, Xu Lei felt very relieved: "In the past few years I have been away, I have relied entirely on you to protect the safety of the solar system. Your contributions to mankind are no less than mine."

"We just did our job." Hearing this, Zhang Jingtong quickly echoed.

At this time, as the people attending the meeting arrived, Xu Lei and the two went to their respective seats.

Here Xu Lei also met Gustav, the commander of the Second Fleet, and Nat, the commander of the Third Fleet.

They also came over to say hello as soon as possible.

Full of admiration and respect.

Mainly, Xu Lei's position in human civilization is unshakable, and he is the spiritual pillar of the entire civilization. Under such circumstances, how can others underestimate him.

It can be said that in the hearts of most people, Xu Lei is an idol.

soon.

Accompanied by the official start of the meeting.

First, other councilors and fleet commanders will report on the progress of various space projects.

Let Xu Lei know the progress of the project over the past few years.

It has to be said that with the development of science and technology, the efficiency of various engineering projects has increased many times compared to the previous Earth and Star era.

Judging from the information obtained, the original 30-year project plan may now be completed in ten years.

Even if Xu Lei doesn't bring those warships, I believe that the solar system will still have the ability to withstand the attack of the Herald Empire fleet.

But facing such a good thing, Xu Lei couldn't stop feeling emotional.

At the beginning, it was because the pioneer civilization used special dead matter in the solar system, which could pose a threat to carbon-based life, and eventually led to the extinction of a large number of animals on the planet, and the human population loss reached an astronomical figure.

In this case, in order to save the survivors in the air-raid shelter, give them the hope of living.

Then use the virtual helmet to complete the storage of consciousness.

And developed an amorphous alloy mechanical body to bring these people back to life.

That's why human civilization has become a group with a special structure of half-machine and half-carbon.

It's hard to tell right from wrong with the whole thing.

As far as individuals are concerned, it may have made them make a very large sacrifice, and they cannot go on the path of genetic evolution like ordinary human beings today.

But if you look at the entire civilization.

no doubt.

The existence of mechanical life has pressed the accelerator key for the development of civilization.

Take the solar system defense ring as an example.

If it wasn't for the space army with mechanical lifeforms in charge, relying solely on ordinary humans to work, I'm afraid it won't be put into use after 20 years. At that time, it will lose the first line of defense in the solar system against the Herald Empire Fleet.

But the situation is already like this, and there is no point in entangled with these.

The key is to promote human beings to a second-level civilization as soon as possible, and at the same time apply to the Authority for a star gate.

Only by allowing human beings to enter the big stage of the Milky Way to communicate or trade with various civilizations can the development of civilization be accelerated.

Thereby completely avoiding the history of humiliation once invaded by alien civilization.

And after Lei Zhan and others finished their report, everyone's curiosity became extremely intense, and they glanced at Xu Lei from time to time, wanting to know the result of this trip to the extraterrestrial galaxy.

After all, this is related to the safety of human civilization.

At the beginning, they learned about the existence of the Galactic Civilization Administration from Mesti.

And build a light-speed curvature spacecraft for this purpose.

It is to go to the Authority to register the civilization of the solar system.

Now that Xu Lei has returned safely, it stands to reason that it should be completed.

But this result has not been confirmed.

So under such circumstances, Congressman Enoch took the lead in not being able to bear the anxiety in his heart, and immediately asked: "Chairman Xu Lei, I wonder if your trip to other civilized star systems went smoothly this time?"

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei raised his gaze.

He naturally knew what everyone was thinking.

And also expressed understanding for this anxiety, which is human nature.

Of course, he didn't mean to hide it.

After sorting out my thoughts for a while, I slowly said, "I have successfully found the Galactic Civilization Administration and registered for our solar system. Now the solar system is the 108th intelligent civilization in the Milky Way."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the venue.

The look of joy and excitement can be seen on everyone's face.

Talk to each other in low voices.

"This is great. From now on, we humans will not be alone in the galaxy."

"There really is a Civilization Administration."

"I didn't expect that there are so many intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way. It seems that we were too skeptical before."

"What exciting news!"

"Does it mean that we don't have to worry about the pioneer civilization anymore?"

……

After the atmosphere in the venue calmed down again, Councilor Yan Fang asked again: "Mr. Xu, as you said before, since we have registered with the Galactic Civilization Administration, don't we need to worry about the threat of the fleet of the Herald Empire? gone?"

Facing this question, Xu Lei shook his head in the confusion of everyone.

"It's not yet certain."

"In any case, we are all a first-class civilization. In the Milky Way, it is no different from children passing through the market with money. It is difficult to guarantee that the pioneer empire will not take the risk."

"So we can't let our guard down just yet."

What he said was not wrong.

The Pioneer Empire has suffered so much in the solar system, and its royal family members, bishop-level pioneers, have become captives of humans. Driven by the hatred between the two sides, the Pioneer Empire is likely to be willing to risk the punishment of the Civilization Administration to continue sending troops to the solar system.

If you suddenly relax your vigilance at this time, you may fall into a passive state.

At that time, if we take precautions, we will lose the opportunity.

However, as Xu Lei's voice fell, the naked eye could see that everyone looked a little disappointed.

In the last battle with Mesti, humans clearly saw the gap in strength between themselves and the pioneer empire.

The two sides are not at the same level at all.

It paid a very high price just to destroy a battleship. If it weren't for the strength of mechanical life forms, the battle for humans might have been very difficult.

But this time the enemy will send a whole fleet.

Its strength can be imagined.

Even if humans have established a solar system defense belt and possessed thirty heavy hammer cruisers, they still do not have much confidence in winning against the fleet of the Herald Empire.

That's why I was so excited after hearing that the solar system had successfully registered with the Civilization Administration.

This means that human beings have more time for self-cultivation.

But according to Xu Lei, even if the registration of civilization is completed, a battle with the Herald Empire Fleet will still be unavoidable.

It is inevitable to worry about human civilization.

Xu Lei had a panoramic view of the changes in everyone's expressions, and knew that they still had worries. He didn't believe that relying on the power of human civilization alone could defeat the Herald Empire Fleet, but he thought it was necessary to give everyone a reassurance.

Anyway, it is about to become a second-level civilization, how can it be so timid.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei spoke again: "There is one more thing I haven't told everyone. I was lucky enough to get the status of a Saitan star when I went to Saitan. In the future, we will not only get the support of the third-level civilization, but soon there will be more people." Large Star Destroyers arrive in the solar system to join the Alliance Fleet."

"Relying on the power of the Star Destroyer, there is no need to fear the Herald Empire."

And Xu Lei still didn't mean to stop when he said this, and then he talked about the second-level civilization and the star gate.

When everyone learned that human beings will soon step onto the big stage of the Milky Way and start exchanges and trade with other intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way, their moods were ignited again.

The original worries disappeared in an instant.

This offline alliance meeting lasted for nearly two hours.

As the representatives of the fleet commanders left the field one by one and returned to their work places, the meeting was also declared a successful conclusion.

As for the next step planning.

The main goal is to promote the second-level civilization.

Try to perfect the infrastructure before the Star Destroyers and Battleships arrive.

Only in this way can it be more confidently recognized by the Galactic Civilization Administration and raise the civilization level of the solar system.

However, it is worth mentioning that Xu Lei did not leave after the meeting, because there is still a press conference waiting for him.

……

"Boss, it's ready."

"it is good."

Just as Xu Lei came out of the venue, Yingshang Xingtong nodded in response after hearing this report, and then walked towards the pre-arranged live broadcast room next to him. Perhaps it was because he hadn't faced the public for a long time. Some nervous.

In the years since Xu Lei left, the public has never stopped asking about him.

Use various channels to inquire about the relevant situation.

Mainly Xu Lei is the spiritual pillar of the entire human civilization, although the answer given by the alliance is that it is conducting a new scientific research, so all social interactions are temporarily closed.

But still not convincing.

Especially with the passage of time, there have been more and more voices in the past two years.

Some people even spread rumors that Xu Lei had an accident, which caused quite a panic.

In the end, relying on the security of the star city where the space army was stationed, Xingtong Chen Shihe and other future technology members came forward to hold a press conference to suppress this matter temporarily.

But this is not a long-term solution after all.

If Xu Lei does not show up for a long time, I am afraid that not only will it not help social stability, but even greater panic may erupt.

Fortunately, Xu Lei's return is still timely.

Doesn't take as much time as I expected when I left.

As early as when Xu Lei returned to Earth Star some time ago, Xingtong announced the schedule of the press conference on the Weilan website. They all expressed great expectations.

So much so that today's press conference has not yet started, and there have been a lot of discussions on the relevant pages of the website.

Everyone is talking about this press conference.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

"Will we be able to see Mr. Xu today? He hasn't shown up for several years."

"Although I don't know why Councilor Xu disappeared from public view, it is definitely not researching new technology projects as the alliance said. After all, this is not Councilor Xu's style."

"That's right, the league must have lied to us."

"It can only be said that there is a lot of inside information that ordinary people cannot know."

"Is there a possibility that Mr. Xu had an accident, maybe..."

"Absolutely impossible. If something really happened, why did we hold today's press conference?"

"What happened to the arrival, I believe Councilor Xu will give us an explanation at the press conference, everyone should wait patiently."

"I always feel that today is never peaceful."

……

11:30am.

As the press conference officially started, Xu Lei's figure also appeared in the live broadcast room immediately.

Greeting the public again after many years.

"Hello everyone."

The audience who were originally skeptical about the press conference, when they really saw Xu Lei's appearance, the atmosphere reached its peak immediately, and the barrage refresh rate in the live broadcast room was very fast.

"Confirmed, it's the living Councilor Xu."

"This press conference was not in vain."

"Great."

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, have you been carrying out new scientific research projects in the past few years? Can you tell me?"

"I knew Mr. Xu would not leave us."

Since the press conference adopted the method of asking questions from reporters, after Xu Lei briefly greeted the audience in the live broadcast room, he signaled the reporters in the audience to start asking questions.

"Hi Mr. Xu."

"I'm a reporter from the Huaxin News Agency. During the few years you disappeared, are you carrying out new scientific research projects?"

The entire process of the press conference was communicated in advance, so Xu Lei did not hesitate to face this question, and directly talked about the threat of the Herald Empire Fleet and the matter of going to the Seitan Star Administration to register the solar system civilization.

"In a way I do research."

"But the content of the research is not a new project, but how to ensure that the solar system is not threatened by the Herald Empire fleet."

"Previously, in order to ensure social stability and restore hope to everyone, the alliance did not disclose the news that the Herald Empire fleet was heading towards the solar system."

"But it's all right now."

"We've figured out how to deal with it."

……

Just this question alone, Xu Lei talked for more than ten minutes, and even covered the affairs of the Galactic Civilization Administration, Stargate and the second-level civilization. It can be said that there is no concealment from the public this time.

After all, after the solar system becomes a second-level civilization, everyone will have the opportunity to come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.

If you don't know anything, you will only lose face to the solar system.

So it's better to tell the truth.

no doubt.

With such a large amount of information, not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, even the reporters on the scene froze in place.

I really did not expect that the outer solar system is so rich.

Humans are never alone.

The entire barrage paused for a few seconds before resuming the update, and the speed was several times faster than before.

Everyone is in shock.

"I'm stupid."

"Excuse me, am I hallucinating?"

"It turns out that the real situation is like this. There are so many intelligent civilizations outside the solar system."

"The Herald Empire is too hateful."

"I didn't expect to have the opportunity to communicate with so many alien civilizations in my lifetime. It's like a dream."

"In this way, we can do business with aliens in the future."

"I feel like this is an opportunity. If we can grasp it, it will be a cross-galactic company."

As for the next time, several reporters raised new questions according to the process. Although the answers were not as informative as before, they also aroused heated discussions. It was not until today that everyone really understood that Xu Lei was behind the human civilization. Done so many things.

Even after the press conference, the Weilan website and related platforms are still discussing it, and everyone is immersed in the beautiful imagination of the future.

Now that we know that there are still so many intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way, wouldn't it be a pity if we couldn't see them.

And then, when Xu Lei patiently waited for the Star Destroyer to arrive at the planet Earth, Li Chengzhe, the vice president of the Institute of Future Science and Technology, took the initiative to find him and brought a new super engineering project.

It is about the development and construction of Titan.

During the time when Xu Lei went to Saitan, Li Chengzhe organized people to plan and design the project.

However, due to various technical limitations, the project stagnated for a time.

My hair is almost graying with worry.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Titan project is the biggest super project he has ever encountered.

The return of Xu Lei now gave him hope again, so he came to the door as soon as the alliance meeting was over.
