The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1119 The Way of Annexation
However, for the Earth Mother Civilization, there are now two problems:

One is an opportunity to get close to the star gate.

That would require participating in the show "Escape from the Splendor," which is why Helena Rubinstein and Ozer hoped to collaborate with Liu Sheng.

“If you can become a guest of the Covin Group, we can return to the ranks of the nobility. And if… we win, you can also escape this doomed star field with us.”

Helena prayed very sincerely at that time.

Liu Sheng smiled and readily agreed.

That's why she's boarding this frigate from the Kovin Group and flying to the planet Banlan.

Another requirement is a ship capable of carrying so many people.

Liu Sheng estimated that the completed Immortal Ship could accommodate 500,000 entities, and if the threshold space were added, it could reach a million levels.

The second Immortal Ship, modified from the Flesh and Blood Immortal Ship, should also be able to accommodate a million entities.

A million is currently a technological bottleneck; anything more would be unsustainable, as it would put immense pressure on life support systems and energy supplies, and the cramped living space would negatively impact physical and mental health.

The entire Earth Mother Civilization now has a population of over 100 million.

How many warships would be needed to complete the entire transfer?
This is a very simple math problem.

So, the gap is still quite large.

That's why Liu Sheng wanted [Gombazka] to complete the virtual-to-real transformation; otherwise, there would be no way to transfer everyone inside.

However, whether this will involve more ethical issues is a new question that can only be discussed later.

Just then, the cruiser USS Coveyne collided with them.

With a maximum capacity of 10,000 people, Liu Sheng naturally accepted the offer.

Moreover, it contains a large amount of scavenged materials, and with extensive modifications, its capacity can be further expanded.

This also gave her a new idea: to see if there were any other existing ships on the planet Banlan.

Imagine that a non-noble group like the Coveyne Group has a cruiser with a capacity of 100,000. What about the other nobles?

According to Ozer, cruisers are only medium-sized ships on the planet Banlan; larger ships include battleships and aircraft carriers.

The current size of the Xianzhou is similar to that of an aircraft carrier with a capacity of millions of units.

The most elite families also possess the legendary largest warship—the Titan, capable of holding tens of millions of people.

Just thinking about it made Liu Sheng incredibly hungry.

But I don't know how much it will cost.

In any case, it was definitely a number she couldn't afford.

The Covin Group went bankrupt buying a cruiser and still owes Bell Labs money, only to have it stolen before they even broke even.

However, Helena also reminded Liu Sheng:
"There are seven standard days left before the show begins."

"Therefore, the war of annexation among the nobles on the planet Banlan is very serious now."

"On the one hand, it is to enhance the family's strength at the last moment. If we have more 'unknowns', the chances of winning in the end will be greater."

"On the other hand, it's also about choosing sides. Not only nobles who lack confidence in their own strength, but all non-nobles must choose a noble to attach themselves to and gamble on a final chance to escape."

"As you know, the power of the 'Unknown Ones' comes from faith, so of course the more people who rely on them, the better. Although this is a war, it is also a war of faith. We must preserve the people as much as possible."

"This is also the purpose of the higher dimensions, which ended the original chaotic and dark period. The major families will not arbitrarily kill the people, but will take the initiative to protect them. This also ensures that the energy harvested on the day of the descent will not be lost in the chaotic battles."

"So if other nobles are annexed, all assets, including ships, can belong to the annexer?"

Helena was taken aback, then nodded: "Of course."

Liu Sheng nodded, thinking it was a very good method.

They completely ignored the fact that Helena said this was not advice, but merely an explanation of the complex and chaotic situation on the planet Variegated.

"However, did Gaowei not consider that it would eventually become an oligarchy? Merging down to just one noble family? If that's the case, wouldn't everyone be able to escape?"

Helena's eyes flickered.

Oze sneered:
"Of course, the higher dimensions have also considered this issue. Therefore, they have limited the number of nobles who can register for the program to ten. If there are fewer than ten nobles, then new participants will be brought down from the higher dimensions to make up the ten teams."

Liu Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

If only one noble remains to participate, they might face an attack from a higher dimension. Furthermore, if the opposing side hasn't limited the number of participants per team, then there's a lot of room for manipulation.

In the end, the people of the Spectral Star failed under the siege. For Gaowei, the entertainment was enough, and the goal of not letting a single person escape was achieved. It was simply a perfect ending.

This clause also forces nobles to avoid cooperation and instead engage in a power struggle, each fighting their own battles.

……

At this moment, the ship is hovering in a synchronous orbit as guided by the Spotted Star Orbit Control Center.

The orbital blockade array formed a massive protective net covering the atmosphere of the variegated star, keeping all ships out.

Helena walked toward the command center and rang the doorbell.

The place that once belonged to her now requires permission to enter.

The door immediately slid open to both sides under control.

"What is it?"

Helena walked in and said respectfully, "Lord Liu, I have sent the entry application to customs. I can enter the country after the ship is certified."

“Okay,” Liu Sheng replied.

Helena's gaze swept quickly across the command module.

Lord Liu sat calmly in the driver's seat, while a girl with fiery red hair sat in the passenger seat, leaning against another strange woman wearing a sunflower-patterned short-sleeved shirt and with her hair tied in two ponytails.

Judging from their names, they are all Lady Liu Sheng's sisters.

There was also a little boy sitting in the corner of the sofa, holding a pot of orchids and lost in thought. His name was "Ariel".

She looks quite well-behaved, and is about the same age as her son.

She had originally planned to take this opportunity to ask him what books he had read and, incidentally, to inquire about the Earth Mother Civilization.

But ever since she discovered that the child would call the orchid in her arms "Grandmaster", she kept her distance a little and decided it was best not to let her son get close to it either.

Ariel was then disgustedly trying to remove one of his feet from his leg.

The owner of that foot was an old man with a snow-white, messy beard and extremely thinning hair. His nose was bright red, and he was sleeping soundly with an empty wine bottle in his arms.

Helena's gaze finally settled on the wine bottle.

My eye twitched.

That was her treasured wine, produced by Darian Winery, with a history of over a thousand years. She would occasionally drink a small glass when she was feeling down during her space voyages, but she couldn't bear to drink too much.

Now this old man has finished it all in one go. How can you not feel bad?

And look, his drool is almost dripping onto her sofa, which is worth 100,000 federal dollars!
But she didn't know what to say.

There was nothing she could do; Lord Liu had said that if she were to serve as a guest advisor, she would have to bring this group of people with her.

I just don't know what Lord Liu is thinking.

Perhaps they felt she looked too lonely coming alone?
Helena sensed that none of these individuals were "Unknowns"—but it would be a miracle if even one "Unknown" appeared in that experimental field, so there couldn't possibly be more.

What's the point of coming?

She concealed her thoughts and coughed lightly:
"There will be another security scan later, so I have to say it again: you don't have an identification chip, so you'd better get one implanted now—"

Unexpectedly, Lord Liu decisively said:

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it."

Helena recalled Lord Liu's methods, which seemed similar to those of Oze; they were indeed very powerful, perhaps even stronger than Oze's.

But so what?

After thinking for a moment, I reminded them again: "This scanning array system was designed by Dr. Bell himself, and even the 'Unknown Ones' cannot refuse it."

"Don't worry, if anything happens, just say we kidnapped you."

Helena clenched her fist.

She certainly didn't want anything to happen.

But she couldn't force these stubborn aliens to implant chips, yet she didn't understand what was wrong with it.

At least for now, she can communicate with Lord Liu, thanks to the chip's translation module!
