I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei hung up the phone with Director Qin, stood in the courtyard, and looked at his parents who were focused on their cultivation.

He put his phone in his pocket, looked up at the sky, and saw a clear blue sky with a few white clouds drifting leisurely by.

He thought of the time point chosen by the experts—mid-August 1937 in Shanghai.

In those days, Shanghai was a city with European-style buildings lining the streets, foreign warships moored on the river, and the roar of airplanes could be heard from time to time in the sky.

Luo Fei glanced down at his parents; they remained focused, their breathing steady, and everything seemed fine.

Reassured, he turned and went inside, sat down on the sofa in the living room, picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and tuned to the news channel.

Right now, the news is playing a promotional video for the Tiga B immigration program.

The scene slowly zooms in from the vast universe, and the outline of planet Tiga b gradually becomes clear.

From a bird's-eye view, the small city, planned and constructed by Xiao Wan and built day and night by engineering robots, is like a bright pearl embedded in the earth.

The towering city walls are made of tightly joined silver-white alloy plates, which gleam with a cold and solid luster under the sunlight, resembling an indestructible barrier.

Behind the city wall is a well-planned residential area, with uniform modular houses arranged in an orderly manner, each with its own independent courtyard.

Next to the residential area are large tracts of cultivated and leveled farmland, with straight ridges and crisscrossing irrigation ditches. An advanced automated irrigation system has been laid out and is ready for sowing.

In the center of the city was a huge square, and in the center of the square stood a flagpole, with the flag of the Dragon Kingdom fluttering in the wind at the top of the pole, which was particularly eye-catching.

The promotional video features a voiceover in standard Mandarin Chinese spoken at a steady pace: "Tiga B, approximately 9.8 light-years from Earth, is the first permanent settlement established by China outside the solar system. It boasts breathable air, clean water, and fertile soil suitable for crop cultivation. The city already possesses comprehensive urban infrastructure, providing a full range of services including healthcare, education, housing, and leisure."

"The Dragon Kingdom government is now recruiting its first batch of immigrants from all its citizens. Applicants must be between 18 and 50 years old, regardless of gender or occupation, but must possess a specialized skill. Tigab is the Dragon Kingdom's first step towards the stars and the sea, and we look forward to your joining us."

While the promotional video was being broadcast on the news channel, the immigration application page on the official website of the Chinese government was also launched simultaneously.

The page design is simple and elegant, with white background and black text, without any unnecessary decorations.

The top image is a high-definition panoramic view of Tigab city, while the bottom image is a prominent registration portal.

A red button with the words "Register Now" written on it in bold.

Within the first minute of the website going live, the number of access requests received by the backend server surged like a tidal wave, instantly exceeding fifty million.

If it were a traditional server from the past, it would probably crash instantly in the face of such a massive data deluge, with the page stuck in an endless loading loop.

However, the official Dragon Kingdom is now using the latest quantum computer, which was manufactured using the complete set of quantum computer technology provided by Luo Fei. Its computing power far surpasses any supercomputer on Earth before, and it is more than capable of handling this nationwide registration frenzy.

Therefore, the application page ran smoothly without any lag, white screen, or "server busy, please try again later" message.

The registration data of hundreds of millions of people flooded into the database at the same time, and every piece of information was recorded accurately and quickly.

The application page received over one billion views in just ten minutes, and the comment section was instantly flooded with messages like, "I've applied, I hope I get selected!"

"I've also signed up, to contribute to the vast potential of our nation!"

"Anyone want to go together? Let's team up for a raid!"

"I haven't registered yet, this 2G network speed is too slow, the page just won't load, it's driving me crazy!"

On social media platforms, the topic "Tiga B immigrants" skyrocketed within minutes of being posted, quickly rising to the top of the trending topics, and related discussions increased exponentially.

Someone excitedly posted a screenshot of their successful registration, captioning it: "I've never won the lottery in my life, but this time it should be my turn! Tiga b, here I come!"

Some people started seriously considering: "How long will it take to travel from Earth to Tiga b by spaceship? Will the journey be boring? What will the climate be like there? Will I be able to adapt? Will the work be very hard?"

Some people joked, "If I farmed in Tigarb, where the soil is more fertile, would the potatoes I grow be a whole size bigger than those on Earth? I'm actually kind of looking forward to it!"

More rational netizens analyzed: "Tigab's immigration plan is not just an ordinary relocation. It is a key step in China's strategic layout of the vast universe. The first group of people to go there are not only glorious pioneers, but also the founders of future interstellar civilization."

The number of applicants exceeded 500 million in just two hours. The backend data was updated in real time, and the numbers jumped so fast that it was dizzying.

Almost every citizen of China with a smartphone and internet access clicked the red "Register Now" button immediately, hoping to become a participant in this historic moment.

At the internal work meeting the next day, Director Qin looked at the astonishing numbers on the statistical report and exclaimed, "This is practically equivalent to the entire nation participating!"

His voice was filled with surprise, and the attendees around him were also silent, their faces also showing surprise, because no one had expected such an unprecedented surge in registrations, which far exceeded everyone's expectations.

In order to complete the screening process as quickly as possible, the review team worked overtime overnight, working closely with Xiaowan to conduct rigorous screening of hundreds of millions of application forms.

Those who are only children or have elderly parents or young children to support are excluded from the list, taking into account their family responsibilities.

Those under the age of 18 or over the age of 50 are directly excluded due to considerations of physiological conditions and adaptability. For those who meet the basic requirements and have professional skills, they are ranked from highest to lowest according to their skill level, with priority given to those with practical skills and experience, such as experienced farmers, skilled construction workers, engineers proficient in mechanical repair, doctors, teachers, excavator drivers, etc.

The review process was very rigorous because everyone understood that Tigab was not a tourist attraction for sightseeing, but a place where everyone needed to work together, settle down, and create a new life.

With Xiao Wan's help, the first batch of immigrants was quickly finalized.

There are a total of 100,000 people, 50,000 men and 50,000 women, in a balanced ratio.

This includes not only top experts and scholars from various fields in China, but also a group of top experts and professors from various fields abroad. They chose to join this interstellar pioneering effort, driven by their passion for exploring the unknown world and their recognition of China's strength.

The moment the list was announced, the internet erupted in excitement.

In the comments section, some people were overjoyed, sending a long string of exclamation marks to express their excitement: "I got accepted! I really got accepted! I'm so happy!"

Some people were disappointed at not being selected, posting a long string of crying face emojis: "Sigh, I didn't get selected, I'm a little disappointed."

Some people joked, "It was expected that I would lose. I've never won anything in my life, not even the 'buy one get one free' offer on a beverage bottle cap. I'm definitely unlucky."
