I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 886: Chapter 592: Hidden Pieces, Strategy, Current State of Ice Extreme Pass (Part 3)

There are a total of eight satellite cities planned in the first batch, each occupying a different position, like eight petals surrounding the central main city.

At this moment, Satellite City No. 2 still appears somewhat empty, with only soldiers from the Ice Extreme Pass stationed everywhere, patrolling vigilantly.

But looking down, the city’s construction is in full swing, with cranes standing tall, workers busy, high-rise buildings springing up, and wide streets taking shape. The frameworks of shops along the streets are also basically completed, everything steadily progressing in the predetermined direction.

All of these are preparations made in advance for future immigration waves.

Qin Tian watched the busy scene below and slowly spoke, “You’ve seen the current state of the Ice Extreme Pass. This is Satellite City No. 2, and there are currently eight such satellite cities. According to the existing plan, each satellite city can accommodate one million people. Once all satellite cities are completed, along with the main city, they can accommodate up to tens of millions of people.”

Dongfang Mingyue gazed at the city below, surrounded by clusters of Cold Trees. The lush Cold Tree branches kept the howling wind and snow firmly outside the city, which was warm and full of life. She couldn’t help but exclaim:

“It’s truly a miracle of life. Who would have thought a single tree could change the ecology of an entire planet, rewriting the fate of the Mingwang Planet.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Qin Tian nodded gently and couldn’t help but think of a faint blue figure, speaking with emotion: “Discovering the Cold Tree was all thanks to a friend of mine.”

Lan, are you doing well right now?

Have you succeeded in reviving your people and reuniting with them?

“Qin Tian, do you think there will really be many people immigrating here?”

Dongfang Mingyue turned her gaze from the scene around, looking towards the vast snowfield, speaking with a hint of worry, “After all, the environment on the Mingwang Planet is still quite harsh. Most people’s activities are confined to the Ice Extreme Pass and these satellite cities. Besides, the facilities are not yet complete, making it difficult to attract ordinary people truly.”

“I know.”

Qin Tian’s gaze remained calm.

He understood that Dongfang Mingyue was not discouraging him but sincerely thinking for his sake, reminding him to have realistic expectations and not to feel disheartened even if the initial immigration didn’t have a significant impact.

However, he was full of confidence about the future of the Ice Extreme Pass and the Mingwang Planet.

“Ming Yue, do you know how many applications to immigrate to the Royal Star and the seven major satellites the Empire’s immigration bureau receives each year?” Qin Tian asked with a smile.

Dongfang Mingyue shook her head lightly. Although she was from the Golden Clan, she had never paid attention to such data.

“Over ten billion.” Qin Tian slowly revealed a number.

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Dongfang Mingyue’s face: “So many people?”

“That’s right.”

Qin Tian nodded, “The Royal Star is the crown of the Empire, and the seven major satellites are the most dazzling jewels on the crown. Anyone with ability and talent wants to settle in the Ring Royal Star Belt to enjoy the Empire’s top-notch welfare, educational resources, and medical guarantees. But the land is limited, and the city’s carrying capacity and management capabilities are also limited. Therefore, countless wealthy and capable individuals who couldn’t get into the Ring Royal Star Belt have always been left outside, and the Mingwang Planet is their hope.”

He paused and continued, “Although the Mingwang Planet has just started, and over ninety-nine percent of the areas are not yet under the Empire’s control, precisely because of this, this planet has unlimited development potential. Of course, reaching the scale of the seven major satellites requires not only the Cold Trees but also enough financial and policy support from the Empire.”

“And for that, we need more factions to join in.”

Qin Tian’s lips curled into a slight smile, “As long as they can see there’s money to be made and significant benefits to be gained here, I won’t need to make a move. Someone will voluntarily come forward to promote the development and construction of the Mingwang Planet.”

Seeing the confident sparkle in Qin Tian’s eyes and the light in his eyes when he talked about the future, Dongfang Mingyue couldn’t help but reveal a gentle smile.

She had always believed that whatever Qin Tian set his mind on, he would achieve and get the results he wanted.

“Three months, three months from now, come back here again, and it’ll surely exceed your expectations.” Qin Tian looked down at Dongfang Mingyue, his tone full of confidence.

Dongfang Mingyue nodded and smiled, “Alright, I’ll definitely come again then.”

Qin Tian gently pinched her small hand, speaking tenderly, “The Ice Extreme Pass always welcomes the lady of the house back home.”

Hearing the words “lady of the house,” Dongfang Mingyue’s cheeks instantly turned red again, filled with shyness but more with undisguisable joy.

Next, Qin Tian, holding Dongfang Mingyue’s hand, inspected the construction of all the satellite cities, watching the rising cities with anticipation in both of their hearts.

After the inspection, they returned together to the main city of the Ice Extreme Pass.

“Ming Yue, can you help me contact Hao Yue and ask him to do something for me,” Qin Tian said seriously.

“What is it?”

Qin Tian replied, “Let him whisper to the Shinguji Clan that the two Tier Seven officials of the Moon Ghost Army aren’t dead yet. No need to say more, just hint at it.”

Hearing this, although Dongfang Mingyue didn’t understand Qin Tian’s intention, she didn’t ask more and nodded immediately: “Okay, I’ll contact him now.”

“Alright.”

Qin Tian nodded lightly, a faint smile curling on his lips.

Now, it was up to the Shinguji Clan and the Moon Ghost Army to see if they’d take the bait.
