Its Controlled Area encompassed everything south of the Yangtze River and east of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, along with Liúqiú Island, the Luzon Islands, the Spice Islands, and Sea Kunlun Island.
This vast territory was home to 33.72 million people.
The rapid development of productive capacity had caused the Immortal Sword Star branch's overall strength to grow by the day.

A gigantic spacecraft rose into the sky, swiftly passing through the troposphere, stratosphere, and thermosphere before entering outer space.
The spacecraft did not stop. It continued toward deeper space until it reached geostationary orbit, 36,000 kilometers above the ground.
There, the spacecraft activated its camouflage and became a geostationary satellite city orbiting the planet.
The spacecraft was truly enormous. More than a thousand martial arts engineers had taken part in its construction, while a deep Geothermal Power Station in Wenchang Prefecture supplied it with energy. With a total weight of 370,000 tons, it was like a small city floating in outer space.
The spacecraft, named the Heavenly Questions, used three Nuclear Fission electrothermal-electrooptic hybrid power generation systems, with a combined output of 60,000 megawatts.
It incorporated a large number of advanced technologies developed by the Human Reform League in this world, including artificial gravity and antigravity technology.
Bai Yulou's clone aboard the Heavenly Questions reviewed the Aerospace Force's report.
At this time, besides the Heavenly Questions spacecraft, there were another thirty-six artificial satellites in geostationary orbit, comprehensively monitoring every movement across the planet's surface.
Scanning data from all over Immortal Sword Star continuously converged,
