I handed over to another world

At this time, Chen Lin was looking at the holographic projection in the office of Shangdu headquarters - it was an extremely magnificent Dyson cloud matrix, which itself was composed of trillions of nano-scale energy collectors forming a dynamic network. Each satellite collector used antimatter thrusters as an 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 bright halo visible to the naked eye in the outer orbit of each planet.

In fact, if you look up at the starry sky at night on Earth now, 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 clearly whether he discovered that he could open the portal when he was 24 or 25 years old. The Red Dragon Association's technology began to advance by leaps and bounds in the third year after the portal was opened. It only took a few years for it to become the world's number one from the second place in the world.

Chen Lin devoted his best decade to the association, and the association also provided him with sufficient rewards in return - after working for six years as president Zhang Shouren, the president of the association who was once known as a conservative publicly announced that this year would be his last time in office.

The next person to take his position was none other than the association's vice president - Chen Lin.

Normally, the time between the old and new presidents is usually from the end of the year to after the Chinese New Year. After announcing this shocking news to the entire association, Zhang Shouren went back to his previous work with a smile, while Chen Lin took the time to visit the sanatorium - Li Tianyun and others were waiting to give him a small celebration.

"Old President,"

Chen Lin was welcomed into the room. When he saw Li Tianyun, he immediately asked respectfully, "How is your health lately?"

"Thanks to President Chen, everything is fine!"

Li Tianyun laughed and motioned Chen Lin to come into the house.

The weather was excellent today. A protective force field was set up around the sanatorium, and the wind was blocked outside. The sun was shining warmly in the living room. Chen Lin always liked this feeling. He sat on the sofa and saw his assistant serving him tea.

"Try the new tea?"

Li Tianyun pointed to the teacup in front of Chen Lin and said, "I went to the mountains with my old friends to collect it some time ago."

"Old President, you think I have no experience. Where can I get tea at this time?"

"Hahahaha... According to natural time, there is of course no such time, but we are different now than before..."

Chen Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip. He immediately felt that the taste was completely different from the familiar taste of tea. Although it was also filled with the fragrance of tea, he always felt that there was a very unique flavor added to it.

"Is this another tea tree you planted yourself?"

He spoke to Li Tianyun who was standing beside him with a look of anticipation. Li Tianyun clapped his hands immediately after hearing what he said: "You tasted it! I told you that you can taste it!"

"This is indeed a tea tree that I cultivated myself, but I asked the Gene Research Institute for help with the seeds. This tea tree has the gene sequences of three tea trees on Earth and two tea trees on the Origin Star, so the taste is very unique..."

Li Tianyun talked on and on for quite a while, and Chen Lin was always listening with a smile. His occasional nods made the former president very happy - after all, this kind of tea is meant to be drunk in the end, and if someone could taste it, it would prove that his efforts were not in vain.

"To be honest, it tastes really good. Please give me some to take away before you leave."

"I'll give you two big cans, enough for you to drink for half a year!"

"That's a good feeling!"

Chen Lin nodded with a smile, then he stopped smiling and said to Li Tianyun: "Zhang Shouren suddenly wants to retire before he even completes his term. Could it be that you are behind this..."

Li Tianyun smiled when he heard this: "I am just an old man now, how can I have such great power to do this?"

"Zhang Shouren doesn't want to continue in this position, so he took the opportunity to step down and let you take over."

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 quit. People who don't know would think that someone below is holding him hostage, or there are conspiracy theories that the senior staff of the association have already sidelined him..."

"There are a lot of theories like this. Sometimes I don't even know what the rumor is, but it gets more and more outrageous."

Li Tianyun was pouring water into his own teacup while speaking nonchalantly, "This is unlike you. You shouldn't say these kinds of words or thoughts."

After hearing this, Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing.

"Isn't this a bit too fast?"

"Fast? How fast?"

"According to the association's previous rules, it would take at least 20 years to become the vice president, right? If you want to eventually become the head of the association, you need not only a resume but also experience, prestige, and most importantly, ability..."

Chen Lin put down the teacup and said to Li Tianyun: "Now it seems that none of my items meet this standard."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Tianyun couldn't help laughing after hearing what Chen Lin said. "You are a vice president, and you actually started to doubt this today? What else do you need to consider? When you took the position of vice president, there were a lot of incompliances, but you were allowed to take the position anyway."

"Many people expressed dissatisfaction at the time, but after you have been in the position for so long, do you think anyone still opposes it?"

"It's not how you got there that matters."

Li Tianyun said to Chen Lin casually, "What's important is what you did after you sat up."

"You are too far away from the vast majority of people in the association. They don't care who is in this position. What they care about is what strategies the person in this position has implemented and whether these strategies can really affect them."

"Do you think I really had the final say when I decided to let you take this position? If I said so and you messed around in the next few years, you wouldn't even be able to sit on the position of vice president, let alone the position of president."

After Li Tianyun finished speaking, he poured more tea for Chen Lin. "Now President Zhang has stepped down early so that you can take the stage early. I don't think he has any bad intentions. It's just that this position is too tiring."

"President Zhang came to see me once some time ago. At that time, I could clearly feel that this guy was a little unstable mentally. 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. There must be something unspeakable about the previous situation."

Chen Lin nodded slightly: "When he retires and comes to the sanatorium, I will talk to you in detail." "He won't come here so young."

Li Tianyun said with a smile: "Zhang Shouren is ten years younger than us. He will probably go to Origin Star to seek a job..."

"I heard him say he won't go to the 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."

"The fleet?"

This time, it took Li Tianyun several seconds to react.

"I really didn't expect this guy."

……

Zhang Shouren's decision caused quite a stir within the Red Dragon Association.

As a president who promoted the rapid technological development of the association during his tenure, his sudden resignation surprised many people.

However, Chen Lin's appointment did not seem to cause much waves. After all, he had accumulated enough prestige and experience as vice president, and his ability and vision had long been widely recognized. The consensus within the association was that Chen Lin was the best candidate to succeed Zhang Shouren.

The first thing Chen Lin did after taking office was to continue to promote the Red Dragon Association's interstellar expansion plan. The construction of the Dyson cloud matrix has come to an end, and the energy supply problem has been completely solved. The next goal of the association is to transform more planets into habitable planets suitable for human habitation.

At that time, the Red Dragon Association on Earth will carry out a large-scale migration of personnel and send a large number of Earth's indigenous people into space.

Chen Lin knew very well that the arrival of the interstellar age was not only an advancement in technology, but also a huge leap forward for 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.

The departure of Zhang Shouren 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 the challenges he faced were no less than those of his predecessor.

The arrival of the interstellar age means more unknowns and risks, especially in contact with other interstellar civilizations. The Red Dragon Association needs to remain vigilant and wise enough.

On the eve of Zhang Shouren's departure, Chen Lin had a long talk with him.

Zhang Shouren frankly stated that his choice to abdicate was not entirely due to pressure, but because he saw Chen Lin's potential.

He believed that Chen Lin could lead the Red Dragon Association to go further, and he himself actually hoped to devote the rest of his life to interstellar exploration and witness with his own eyes those galaxies that have not yet been set foot by humans.

"Chen Lin, the future of the association is in your hands."

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 before I get old... The rest of the way will depend on you young people."

Chen Lin nodded and said solemnly to Zhang Shouren in front of him: "President Zhang, rest assured, I will do my best to lead the association to a broader interstellar stage."

"Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have let you take this position in advance."

Zhang Shouren nodded with a smile, "To be honest, I am 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 before I am a hundred years old."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

……

The first major decision Chen Lin made after taking office was to launch the "Stargate" project.

The plan is to expand the influence of the Red Dragon Society to more distant galaxies through portal technology.

Chen Lin has only one belief - that is, only through continuous exploration and expansion can humans occupy a place in the interstellar age.

This plan is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a key step for human civilization to move towards the interstellar age.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Chen Lin convened the association's top scientists, engineers, sociologists and military experts to form a cross-disciplinary "Interstellar Era Action Committee" to specifically formulate detailed action guidelines and policy frameworks.

What is unanimously recognized by the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association is actually the core of interstellar expansion - most people agree on the acquisition and distribution of resources.

Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Lin directly proposed an "Interstellar Resource Sharing Agreement", requiring that all transformed habitable planets must deliver necessary resources to the Earth and other planets in accordance with the agreement to ensure the balance of resources among the planets - there was no room for objection to this, and the Red Dragon Association directly listed it as the underlying code for execution.

At the same time, the Red Dragon Association will set up an "Interstellar Resources Management Bureau" to supervise the mining, transportation and distribution of resources and prevent resource monopoly and unfair competition.

Chen Lin also knew that chaos was the main theme in the universe. For many gathering places or super bases far away from their mother planet, chaos was the norm, and normal rules were only effective within the influence range of the mother planet.

So he specially put together a think tank to formulate the "Interstellar Basic Law" to deal with 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 established an "Interstellar Court" to handle interplanetary disputes and criminal cases - and in order to maintain interstellar order, the Red Dragon Association has also established a special "Interstellar Armed Department" to be responsible for the safety and security of each planet.

This department basically covers all the planets and star systems that have direct contact with the Red Dragon Association. At that time, the Red Dragon Association will build portals on these planets, regularly replace the on-duty personnel and supply materials. The relevant details will be announced to the world at that time. Anyone who is willing to participate can go to the assessment to obtain relevant identity documents...

As for the most critical interstellar immigration policy, the Red Dragon Association directly mobilized a large number of scientific research teams, think tanks and front-line fleet members to comprehensively formulate and modify relevant policies.

After all, as the number of habitable planets increases, large-scale immigration will become inevitable. If the Red Dragon Association does not have any laws and regulations to limit these aspects, the scene at that time will inevitably be a mess. Everything must be prepared to avoid trouble.
