Chen Lin was watching the holographic projection in the office of Shangdu headquarters - it was an extremely magnificent Dyson Cloud matrix, which itself consisted of trillions of nanoscale energy collectors, and each satellite collector used antimatter thrusters as energy source to ensure that it could perform orbital fine-tuning.
Energy is transmitted to the transformation bases of each planet in a quantum entangled state, forming a brilliant halo visible to the naked eye in the peripheral orbits of each planet.
In fact, when looking at the starry sky at night on Earth, the scenes you can see are much richer than they were a decade ago.
Chen Lin is 37 years old this year - he actually can't remember whether he discovered that he could open the portal when he was 24 or 25 years old. The Red Dragon Association has made rapid progress in technology since the third year of opening the portal. From the time when he was the second in the world, it took only a few years to become the first in the world.
Chen Lin paid his best for the association for more than ten years, and the association also provided him with enough rewards for his equality. After six years of working in power, the president of the association, which was once called a conservative, publicly announced that this year would be his last time in office.
The next person who took his position was not someone else, but Chen Lin, the vice president of the association.
Generally speaking, the time for the alternation between the old and new presidents is usually at the end of the year when the New Year is over. After Zhang Shouren announced the shocking news to the entire association, he smiled and went to work hard on his previous work. Chen Lin took time to go to the sanatorium - Li Tianyun and others were waiting to celebrate him in a small way.
"Old President,"
Chen Lin was approached into the house. After seeing Li Tianyun, he immediately spoke respectfully, "How is your health recently?"
"Thank you for President Chen's blessing, it's okay!"
Li Tianyun laughed and signaled Chen Lin to enter the house.
The weather is very good today. The protective field is set up around the sanatorium, and the wind is blocked outside. The sun is sunny in the living room. Chen Lin has always liked this feeling. He sat on the sofa and saw his assistant serving tea for himself.
"Try new tea?"
Li Tianyun pointed to the teacup in front of Chen Lin, "I went to the mountain to pick it some time ago."
"Old President, you are thinking that I have no experience. Where did the tea come from at this time?"
"Hahaha... Of course, there is no such time point in nature, but it cannot resist the difference between us now and before..."
Chen Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip. He immediately felt that the taste was indeed completely different from the familiar tea leaves. Although it was full of the fragrance of tea, he always felt that it was a very unique charm.
"This is your own tea tree?"
He spoke to Li Tianyun, who looked expectant, and after hearing this, Li Tianyun immediately clapped his hands suddenly: "You tasted it! I said you can taste it at all!"
"This is really a tea tree I cultivated myself, but at the beginning the seed was helped by the Genetics Institute. This tea tree integrates the genetic sequences of three tea trees on Earth. There are two types of tea trees on the Origin Star that have also merged into one, so the taste they taste is very unique..."
Li Tianyun talked for a long time, and Chen Lin always listened with a smile, nodding from time to time, which made the ex-counselor happy - after all, this kind of tea was finally for drinking, and having someone tasted it proved that his efforts were not in vain.
"To be honest, the taste is really good. Let me take some away before leaving."
"I'll give you two big cans, enough for you to drink for half a year!"
"Then the relationship is good!"
Chen Lin nodded with a smile, then he stopped smiling and said to Li Tianyun: "Zhang Shouren suddenly had to retire before he had finished his term of office. You shouldn't be behind..."
When Li Tianyun heard this, his smile remained unabashed: "I am just a bad old man now, how can I have such great power to do this?"
"Zhang Shouren doesn't want to continue to be in this position anymore. He just takes a chance and just back and lets you go up."
Chen Lin picked up the teacup and took another big sip. The tea leaves were a little astringent. He squinted his eyes and asked, "But there are only two years left. President Zhang suddenly stopped doing it. People who don't know thought that someone from below was holding him hostage, or there was a conspiracy theory that the senior officials within the association had long put him under the guild..."
"There are many arguments in this kind of thing, and sometimes I don't know what kind of rumors are, and the more they spread, the more outrageous it is."
Li Tianyun made his own teacup and poured water while casually speaking: "This is not like you. Such words and thoughts should not be spoken from you."
Chen Lin was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed.
"Isn't this a bit too fast?"
"Quick? How to do it?"
"According to the previous rules of the association, it will take at least twenty years to sit in the position of vice president, right? If you want to finally sit in the position of top leader of the association, it requires not only experience, prestige and the most critical ability..."
Chen Lin put down the teacup and spoke to Li Tianyun: "Now it seems that I don't meet this standard in any of my items."
"Hahahaha..."
Li Tianyun couldn't help laughing when he heard Chen Lin's words, "You are a vice president, but today you start to doubt this? You still need to consider whether it is in line or not. When you, the vice president, had a lot of disagreements, but you were asked to sit on."
"At that time, many people expressed their dissatisfaction, but after you worked in the position for so long, do you think there are still people who object?"
"What matters is not how you get on."
Li Tianyun said lightly at Chen Lin, "What's important is what you did after you sit on it."
"Your location is too far away from most people in the association, and they don't care who is in this position at all. What they care about is what strategies the people in this position have made and whether these strategies can really affect them."
"Do you think I decided that this position was really a one-man show? If I said that you have been doing things in the past few years, then you will not be able to sit in the position of the vice president."
After Li Tianyun finished speaking, he added tea to Chen Lin. "Now President Zhang abdicated early, so that you can play early. I don't think he has any bad intentions, but because this position is too tiring."
"President Zhang once looked for me some time ago. At that time, I could clearly feel that this guy was a little unstable in his mental state. He was under a lot of pressure in this position... I asked you to investigate Zhang Shouren before, but now it seems unnecessary. President Zhang is a very conscientious person, and the previous situation must be hidden."
Chen Lin nodded slightly: "When he also retreated, he came to the sanatorium and then talked with you in detail." "He won't come here at such a young age."
Li Tianyun smiled and said, "Zhang Shouren is ten years younger than our group of people. He probably will go to the Origin Star to find a position..."
"I heard from him that he would not go to Origin Star."
"Where is that going?"
Li Tianyun was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Chen Lin say, "I heard that he wants to go to the fleet in the solar system."
"Fleet?"
This time, Li Tianyun reacted for several seconds before he could react.
"I really didn't expect it, this guy."
...
Zhang Shouren's decision caused a lot of shock within the Red Dragon Association.
As a president who promoted the rapid development of the association's technology during his tenure, his sudden abdication surprised many people.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
However, Chen Lin's appointment did not seem to cause much trouble. After all, he had accumulated enough prestige and experience as the vice president, and his ability and vision had long been widely recognized - the consensus within the association has now become Chen Lin is the best candidate to replace Zhang Shouren.
The first thing Chen Lin did after taking office was to continue to promote the interstellar expansion plan of the Red Dragon Association. The construction of the Dyson Cloud matrix has come to an end, and the energy supply problem has been completely solved. The association's goal is to transform more planets into livable planets suitable for human habitation.
By then, the Red Dragon Association on Earth will carry out large-scale personnel migration and send a large number of indigenous people on Earth to space.
Chen Lin knew very well that the arrival of the interstellar era is not only a technological advancement, but also a huge leap in human civilization.
Therefore, he needs to formulate a complete set of relevant policies for the interstellar era in a short period of time to ensure the rational allocation of resources and the stable development of society.
Zhang Shouren's departure also made Chen Lin feel a little pressure - although Zhang Shouren laid a solid foundation for the association during his tenure, Chen Lin knew that he was not less challenged than his ex.
The arrival of the interstellar era means more unknowns and risks, especially in contact with other interstellar civilizations, the Red Dragon Society needs to remain vigilant and intelligent.
On the eve of Zhang Shouren's departure, Chen Lin had a long talk with him.
Zhang Shouren frankly stated that he chose to abdicate not entirely because of pressure, but because he saw Chen Lin's potential.
He believed that Chen Lin could lead the Red Dragon Association further, and he actually hoped to devote the rest of his life to interstellar exploration and witness those galaxies that have not been set foot by humans.
"Chen Lin, the future of the association will be left to you."
Zhang Shouren patted Chen Lin on the shoulder, with a hint of relief and expectation in his tone, "I want to do what I wanted to do at the beginning while I am not old yet... The next road will depend on you young people."
Chen Lin nodded and spoke solemnly at Zhang Shouren in front of him, "Don't worry, President Zhang, I will do my best to lead the association to a broader interstellar stage."
"Of course I'm relieved of you, otherwise I wouldn't have let you sit in this position in advance."
Zhang Shouren nodded with a smile, "I am still looking forward to how far the association can develop in your hands in the future."
"I hope that the association can truly become a [high-dimensional] civilization a hundred years ago."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
...
Chen Lin’s first major decision after taking office was to launch the “Star Gate” plan.
The program aims to expand the influence of the Red Dragon Society to galaxies further away through portal technology.
Chen Lin has only one belief - that is, only through continuous exploration and expansion can human beings occupy a place in the interstellar era.
This plan is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a key step for human civilization to move towards the interstellar era.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Chen Lin convened the top scientists, engineers, sociologists and military experts in the association to form a cross-field "Interstellar Age Action Committee", which is specifically responsible for formulating detailed action guidelines and policy frameworks.
What has been unifiedly recognized by the senior management of the Red Dragon Association is actually the core of interstellar expansion - what most people recognize is the acquisition and allocation of resources.
Chen Lin took advantage of the situation and directly proposed the "Interstellar Resource Sharing Agreement", requiring all transformed livable planets to transmit necessary resources to the earth and other planets in accordance with the agreement to ensure resource balance between each planet - there is no room for objection to this, and it was directly listed as the underlying code by the Red Dragon Association.
At the same time, the Red Dragon Association will establish the "Interstellar Resource Management Bureau" to supervise the exploitation, transportation and allocation of resources and prevent resource monopoly and unfair competition.
Chen Lin also knew very well that in the universe, chaos is the main argument. For many gathering places or super bases far away from the parent star, chaos is the norm, and normal rules can actually be effective only within the radiation range of the parent star's influence.
So he specially brought up a think tank to formulate the "Interstellar Basic Law" in response to such situations, establishing the basic rights and obligations of interstellar citizens.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the bill, the Red Dragon Association has also set up an "Interstellar Court" to handle cross-planet disputes and criminal cases - and in order to maintain interstellar order, the Red Dragon Association has also specially established an "Interstellar Armed Department" to be responsible for the security and public security of each planet.
This department covers basically all planets and galaxies that have direct contact with the Red Dragon Association. At that time, the Red Dragon Association will build portals on these planets and regularly replace the on-duty personnel and supplies. The relevant details will be notified to the world. Anyone who is willing to participate can go to the assessment to obtain relevant ID documents...
As for the most critical interstellar immigration policy, the Red Dragon Association has not directly called on a large number of scientific research teams, think tanks and front-line fleet members to comprehensively formulate and modify relevant policies.
After all, with the increase in livable planets in the future, large-scale immigration will become inevitable. If the Red Dragon Association does not limit any laws and regulations on these aspects, the scene will inevitably be in chaos, and everything will be prepared and can be free of trouble.
