[Xinhua News Agency, February 5, 3312]

The Human Federation Government and the Liernia Empire Government jointly announced that

The first phase of the New Home Project involves the joint development of six habitable planets:

Emerald Bay, Starry Heights, Celestial Valley, Rock City, Forest, Harvest Plain

The resettlement of immigrants was successfully completed at midnight today, as planned.

The cohabitation planet immigration project has been successfully completed.

Each of the six planets has now stably accommodated its first batch of 1.15 million mixed-use residents. Among them, 1 million are residents of the Human Federation and 1500 million are residents of the Liernia Empire.

This population size is strictly set based on the mutually agreed-upon model of ecological carrying capacity for well-being and the allocation of social service resources.

Infrastructure development on all planets:

This includes residential areas, life support systems, transportation networks, energy supply, communication hubs, and necessary cross-civilization public service facilities.

All projects have been completed and passed joint acceptance, meeting the needs of the first batch of residents for long-term, safe, and comfortable living and for carrying out basic socio-economic activities.

The mixed-use residential community built according to the plan has been put into operation.

The "Provisional Regulations on the Management of Communities on the Co-living Planet" and its supporting implementation rules, formulated to ensure harmonious coexistence among residents from different cultural backgrounds, have come into effect throughout the entire Six-Star region.

Meanwhile, given that the first phase of immigrant resettlement goals has been successfully achieved,

Furthermore, to ensure the stable operation of the newly established colony social system, fully evaluate initial experiences, and optimize subsequent development and management models,

After careful consideration and with the approval of both governments, the Joint Development Committee of the Human Federation and the Liernia Empire hereby makes the following decision:

From this day forward, the following six planets will be affected: Emerald Bay, Starry Heights, Celestial Valley, Rock City, Forest Wilderness, and Harvest Plains.

New applications for resident relocation (including applications from transnational marriage families and individuals) are suspended.

Applications that have been approved but have not yet been completed will proceed with the subsequent procedures in an orderly manner with the assistance of the committee.

The legitimate rights and welfare protections of registered residents will not be affected by this decision.

......

This suspension of new application acceptance is a necessary step in the scientific advancement of the Home-Based Development Program, primarily based on the following considerations:

1. System stability assessment:

The first large-scale cross-civilization coexistence society needs to be addressed:

Systematic monitoring, data collection, and in-depth evaluation of the operational status in key areas such as ecological balance, resource consumption, public service efficiency, cultural integration, and social governance.

2. Experience summary and optimization:

Collect and analyze the experiences and challenges accumulated in the initial construction and operation to provide an empirical basis for the revision and improvement of subsequent planetary development standards, community planning, management frameworks and policies and regulations.

3. Proceed with the follow-up plan in an orderly manner:

Ensure that limited management and technical resources are focused on the meticulous operation and evaluation of the first batch of planets, while making full preparations for the next phase of larger-scale joint development programs.

......

Development of the new planet continues.

Both governments reaffirmed their firm commitment to the homeland plan.

The next phase of joint development of habitable planets, including site selection, planning, and infrastructure construction, has commenced according to schedule, and relevant progress will be disclosed to the public at an appropriate time.

The joint development committee will continue to monitor the operational status of the first six satellites.

And based on the assessment results and the progress of the new planet's development,

We will scientifically assess the timing and scale for restarting the acceptance of new applications.

The public can follow subsequent announcements through official news channels.

The Human Federation and Liernia will work together to continuously strengthen cooperation in areas such as ecological technology, social governance, and cross-civilizational exchanges.

We must continuously improve the quality and sustainability of development on our shared planet and earnestly fulfill our common goal of creating a better home for people of both civilizations.

......

It is reported that the public's enthusiasm for applying for the new planet far exceeded expectations.

According to statistics, in just three days after the application channel for this planetary trial operation opened, the total number of applications had already exceeded the trial operation's acceptance limit by thirty times.

Those who were not selected this time should not be discouraged. More new planets will be developed together in the future. The planets are diverse, but the policies remain unchanged. Please stay tuned.

There will be more choices for home locations in interstellar space.

Humanity is ushering in a brighter tomorrow.

......

The Crown Prince and Gao Tian rushed around like crazy, their phones practically ringing off the hook with calls to the Humanity and the Liernia Development Office, finally managing to complete the follow-up matters for this batch of cohabitation planets with the Human Government before Orion's arrival.

Good thing it's done. Now that it's done, we don't have to worry about Orion, the "Emissary of the Insect King," causing trouble. That's great. The gap in the human federation is reduced by one.

The Crown Prince did somersaults on the bed, preparing to give his uncle, the former leader of the space pirates, a taste of his power.

Then, on New Year's Eve, Orion arrived on Earth.

Well, they really know how to rush things. This Spring Festival, nobody can expect to have a holiday.

......

The giant starship emerged from the warp and passed through the wormhole. After a slight adjustment of its attitude, the blue flames from its engine nozzles resumed, and it began to sail smoothly.

The solar system is right in front of us.

The starlight gradually became clearer.

The outline of the third planet magnified in the field of vision. It was a planet enveloped by blue oceans and white cloud bands, the heart of the Human Federation—Earth.

The starship slowed down and entered near-Earth orbit around the Earth.

Beneath the ship's hull, a blue planet envelops a planetary barrier, slowly rotating.

The main screens in the cockpit and bridge switched to the signal from the ground human command tower, the standard human federation common language channel was activated, and the navigation data stream was stably connected.

The screen quickly switched, and the Human Federation ground command tower made contact with the starship.

A clear, steady synthesized voice announced: "Connection established. Signal type: Human Federation Standard Alternate Landing Communication Protocol."

"Common language translation plugin loaded."

"Welcome, visitors from the Liernia Empire."

"Flight coordinates locked: Union Airport, Washington, D.C. Landing procedures loaded."

Airport confirmed, planetary barrier access activated, starship attitude slightly adjusted, bow lowered, leaving near-Earth orbit, massive hull smoothly cut into the atmosphere, rapidly descending.

The outer armor rubbed against the atmosphere, emitting a dark red glow. The energy shield silently activated, isolating the high temperature and vibration.

The altitude continues to decline.

The outline of the North American continent is clearly visible below.

On the east coast, a large, brightly lit airport comes into view.

This is the second largest airport in the world, located in the former United States, with countless runways, aprons and control towers.

The latest colossal starship from the Level 5 civilization, the Liernia Empire, arrived like a god, exuding unparalleled oppressive aura. Guided precisely by the spaceport's beam of light, it hovered above a giant berth reserved for ultra-large starships.

The engine roar was reduced to the lowest frequency, and the anti-gravity field provided a stable output.

The starship's massive body, carrying an overwhelming weight, landed steadily on the huge alloy deck of the berth.

The deck trembled slightly, and the cushioning system emitted a low hum.

The starship came to a stop.

The main hatch under the ship slid open silently, extending a wide metal gangway, the bottom of which made steady contact with the berth ground.

......

The starship crew prepared to descend to the ground and began to move around.

In the driver's seat, Orion stood up, her beautiful face expressionless.

Silver strands of hair slipped from his shoulders with his movements, hanging down the back of his crisp black uniform.

The Imperial General's uniform fit his tall and slender figure perfectly, with the iris emblem representing the highest imperial power of the Liernia Empire embedded on his shoulder insignia.

Outside the cabin door are huge airport berths and a red carpet extending outwards.

The adjutant silently stepped forward, stopping slightly behind him, and presented him with a brand-new pair of pure white gloves.

Orion turned his head and glanced at the gloves, then chuckled.

Unnecessary aristocratic etiquette.

But he still reached out and pinched the glove, his movements unhurried. He first opened the glove, then slipped his five fingers in one by one, bending his knuckles and adjusting until the glove perfectly fit every inch of his fingers and palm.

The pure white silk fabric made his fingers appear even longer and contrasted sharply with his all-black outfit, giving him a gentlemanly air.

The adjutant said nothing, but simply waited to the side.

"Sasha, when are you going to knit me a glove with your silk?" Orion joked with him.

The adjutant rolled his eyes at the sky: "Your Highness, I am a black widow spider, and my silk is poisonous."

"I think you just don't want to knit for me."

"I just don't want to knit for you," the adjutant readily replied.

Orion tapped him with his finger, not bothering to argue, and walked towards the cabin door, stepping onto the downward-extending gangway steps.

The hard heels of his military boots tapped crisply on the metal steps, and his royal etiquette and posture, honed since childhood, were regular, steady, and flawless.

They walked down the gangway at a leisurely pace.

As soon as you step off the gangway, the earth's air rushes in, carrying a slightly cool touch, filling your nostrils.

The oxygen content is a little low, but still acceptable.

The air was filled with a complex mix of smells.

There was a slightly pungent chemical smell from the evaporation of aviation fuel, the fresh scent of grass and earth emanating from the plants in the airport's green belt, and the indescribable smell of human activity drifting from the distant city.

These smells blended together.

There's something about it that makes the insects disgusting.

Orion frowned slightly, his expression remaining impassive.
