Eight years have passed, and the quantum satellites that Yan Fei initially launched have reached nearly eight light-years from Earth. Through these quantum satellites, Yan Fei has mapped the terrain of all star domains within eight light-years of Earth.

Utilizing the wormhole traversal ability of the drone mothership, Yan Fei controlled the drone carrier to explore all stellar systems within an eight light-year range, gathering comprehensive data on these stellar systems. He even discovered two Earth-like planets in other stellar systems, which could be developed with some effort to become a second Earth.

Unfortunately, the current population under Yan Fei's control is too small. Combined with the significant efforts required for development within the Solar System, he is unable to simultaneously conduct construction in both the Solar System and other stellar systems. Even if other stellar systems were developed, there wouldn't be enough personnel to occupy them. Thus, Yan Fei has temporarily set aside those stellar systems, intending to expand his forces there only after his strength has further increased, allowing Dream Island to establish itself in other stellar systems.

Yan Fei's focus has consistently been the construction of Mars, aiming to transform it into a massive battle fortress. Mars will serve as the core battlefield for Dream Island's resistance against external invasion. Over the past five years, Dream Island has carried out more than ten large-scale recruitment drives, hiring a total of two hundred million robust young workers domestically in China. These young individuals arrived on Dream Island with their spouses, children, and parents, culminating in an unprecedented total population of five hundred million people on Dream Island.

The employees recruited by Dream Island aren't all high-tech skilled workers, but they essentially meet Yan Fei's basic requirements for immigration. Since there's been no loss of key talent and Dream Island has continually transferred some high-tech technologies and equipment to China, there were no obstacles from Chinese authorities regarding recruitment for Dream Island, thus easily allowing these personnel to head there.

These people arrived at Dream Island in batches. Upon arrival, they were assigned places by the artificial intelligence "Dream." They were sent to Dreamland Cave World, the Moon Transit Base, Mars, and development bases on other planets in the Solar System. The remaining personnel stayed on Dream Island itself or were assigned to work at Dream Island offices in other countries on Earth.

Out of all these places, Dreamland Cave World received the largest population. Of the five hundred million people, four hundred million entered Dreamland Cave World. An additional seventy million were sent to Mars, ten million arrived at the Moon Transit Base, and the remaining twenty million were distributed to other places controlled by Dream Island's forces.

On the surface, Dream Island only controls a large human city on Dream Island itself, Alaska, the Pacific Islands, and the Moon Transit Base. Even with the most logical plan, it's impossible to accommodate over five hundred million people in such limited spaces. Thus, recently, the international community has started focusing on Dream Island's chaotic population issue.

Since Dream Island had not disclosed the whereabouts of these five hundred million people, there was increasing attention on this matter. Some even suspected that Dream Island had ulterior motives, accusing them of luring these people under false pretenses only to harm them.

Previously, Dream Island did not respond at all to these suspicions, swiftly sanctioning media and journalists whenever slander against Dream Island was detected. However, eight years later, with Yan Fei's layout throughout the Solar System completed and no threats found outside it, he decided to stop concealing this issue. Thus, Dream Island officially announced: Dream Island had long entered the Solar System and is currently developing it; the employees previously recruited by Dream Island and their families are living and working in various regions within the Solar System.

Dream Island then began broadcasting a pre-made documentary. This documentary thoroughly introduces the development situation on all planets within the Solar System and showcases how Dream Island staff work and live on these planets. Through this documentary, not only can one understand Dream Island's progress in developing the Solar System, but one can also see the life and work conditions of Earth humans in the Universe.

This documentary was crafted by Yan Fei with the artificial intelligence "Dream," editing the recorded videos. To obscure the fact that a large population had already entered Dreamland Cave World, Yan Fei only displayed partial scenes of these planets. For example, on Mars, where the current population is only seventy million, he didn't showcase the entire city on Mars, only capturing scenes of Mars' largest city. The bustling population in this city misleads documentary viewers into thinking that at least four hundred million people live on Mars.

Under the clever editing of "Dream," anyone who watches this documentary will conclude that the population residing on Mars, combined with those in mining areas on other planets in the Solar System, the Moon Transit Station population, and those in Dream Island's controlled areas on Earth, totals over five hundred million. In this way, the mystery of Dream Island's population whereabouts is perfectly resolved…
