A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

********************

......

Zerg, a planet deep within Lyrnia.

In the domed conference hall of the Grand Palace of Liernia, a holographic projection was displayed in the center of the round conference table.

The semi-circular conference table was already full of people, while Lan sat alone in the center of the huge circular table, listening to their reports.

As the holographic projection screen was pulled back, a holographic image of the Earth immediately unfolded into a blue sphere of light in front of everyone.

Then the blue map shrinks, the Earth becomes smaller, the map becomes the Milky Way, then shrinks again to the Laniakea Supercluster, then shrinks again to the Hercules-Corona Borealis Cosmic Great Wall.

It's incredibly far.

Fortunately, a wormhole suddenly appeared.

Blue switched the star map to their Liernia side, pulled it to the southern border, and zoomed in to the Centaurus wormhole.

Hmm... Once you exit through the wormhole, you'll arrive at the Crown Princess's location. Their home planet is located in a secondary star system called the Solar System.

...Why does that sound a little familiar?

Never mind, it's probably nothing important.

"First, confirm the fleet formation."

Lucian, the commander of the First Ant Legion, rose to his feet and saluted, the star-patterned medals on his dark blue uniform gleaming.

"Due to the fact that the Chief of the Mantis is too busy to attend, I will temporarily take command of the escort fleet protecting the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Princess."

"As Your Highness requests, the fleet for this trip will be the Crown Prince's private escort fleet."

"The main ship, the Crown Prince, has completed the triple verification of its main engines, the ship's condition has been confirmed to be correct, and a brand-new paint job has been completed as required."

The Chief of Staff of the Army pulled the brand-new silver starship onto the projection screen.

The new paint job chosen by the Crown Princess looks a bit plain... but as long as it doesn't go wrong, it's fine!

"The twelve escort ships and the nine escort fleets have completed their verification and are lined up at Liernia Airport, ready to depart at any time. Report complete."

After reviewing the document, Lan signed his name on the screen and confirmed: "Very good, General Lucien, please have a seat."

The Chief of Staff of the First Army took his seat.

Next, the Energy Minister stood up.

Energy Minister Trier adjusted his data glasses to confirm the projection was working properly. He then turned on the computer, created a table of energy data, and projected it onto the center of the conference table.

"The Ministry of Energy has allocated energy from a star and sealed it in an energy block. All the ships in the Prince's Fleet have their energy chambers full, and it is estimated that they can be used for 20 years without needing to be refilled."

"All ships in the Crown Prince's fleet have been fitted with Earth's atmospheric adaptation filters and gravity stabilizers, and are fully charged. Their parameters have been fine-tuned based on Earth's geomagnetic data."

He turned to the next page:

"There is another energy planet near the southern border that is equipped with a Dyson sphere. If Your Highness needs additional energy, it can be drawn from nearby."

Blue signed the confirmation again, then raised his hand to indicate, "Okay, please sit down, Minister Trier."

The Energy Minister took his seat.

The Minister of Health, who was sitting across the round table, suddenly raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.

Lan Chong raised his hand slightly: "Please speak, Minister of Health."

The Minister of Health stood up and straightened his light green medical gown.

"Please allow me to interrupt Your Highness, as I have something more important to say."

"The Foreign Minister has sent back a message that there are no infectious diseases between us and humans that can be transmitted between us. It was originally expected that all accompanying personnel would need to be vaccinated, but now they do not need to be vaccinated."

"However, according to the Foreign Minister's observation, the microbial environment report from Her Highness the Crown Princess's home planet indicates that they have some fungi there that could potentially infect the Zerg, called Cordyceps, which is quite dangerous. We need to administer TG-7 broad-spectrum immunizing agent to all accompanying personnel in advance. Of course, Her Highness the Crown Princess probably doesn't need it, but you still will."

Thinking about it carefully, humans are actually quite difficult to kill.

It's amazing that the human body, so fragile, can survive surrounded by so many bacteria and fungi.

Surrounded by so many bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microorganisms, it can still be immune to a variety of pathogens and not get many diseases, which is simply amazing.

Lan understood and signed to confirm: "Okay, Minister of Medical Affairs. You'll be in charge of the immunization injections. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

"there is none left."

"Please sit down."

Lan nodded slightly and gestured for him to sit down.

As he bowed his head to sign, the blue light of the holographic star map reflected on his silver-white hair, emitting a faint glow.

The young emperor of the Zerg-based Lyrnia Empire is getting more and more handsome as he grows up.

Suddenly, a message came in on the computer. Lan looked down at the message and saw that it was from Bambo, who was sending him a message that all the betrothal gifts had been prepared.

Very good, the betrothal gifts are also settled.

When the time comes, he'll just send the betrothal gifts to the Crown Princess's house, and she'll be his.

Lan smiled, suddenly wanting to see what Gao Tian was doing. He tapped a few times on his personal computer and opened the surveillance footage of the Crown Prince's Palace.

Hmm... not in the courtyard, not in the bedroom, not in the kitchen, and not playing with the leopards in the garden.

Opening the study, oh, there it was, Gao Tian sitting with his legs crossed in front of the StarNet server.

The server has a black hole card inserted, and the progress bar on the screen is constantly copying.

Gao Tian watched the progress bar on the screen while humming a song and shaking his head.

This soft rice is so delicious, so fragrant.

It's hilarious! Ever since he said that all publicly available information could be copied back to Earth, Gao Tian has been like a mouse that's fallen into a rice jar.

Copying during the day, and copying at night.

If he doesn't go to sleep tonight, I'll lock his data card in the heart of Lyrnia and not let him take it with him!

Lan smiled.

He didn't think Gao Tian was doing anything wrong.

On the contrary, a person who is always dedicated to the well-being of their country and race deserves respect everywhere.

"Commander-in-Chief, halve the number of escort ships in the fleet," Lan suddenly said.

His voice was gentle, but his tone left no room for argument: "Six ceremonial ships will suffice. I'm afraid that seeing too many warships will create defensive associations for Earthlings."

"?" The Chief of Staff of the Army was puzzled as to why the twelve escort ships he had previously ordered had suddenly changed their minds.

"Your Highness, the twelve ceremonial ships of the Crown Prince's fleet represent the blessings of our twelve ancestors; there is no reason for them to be reduced. Besides, this is the first meeting between our Zerg Crown Prince and humanity..."

"No need, six ships will suffice." Lan glanced at the star map again. "We just want to demonstrate our strength. Six ships are enough. We're not going to intimidate Earth. There's no need to be fixated on twelve."

While it's necessary to demonstrate the power of the Liernia Empire, the arrival of a large fleet could indeed frighten humanity.

There's really no need to set such strict rules.

Besides, the strength of their Zerg fathers doesn't actually need to be demonstrated through these starships.

The Chief of Staff of the Army was still not entirely in favor, but as a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince, he naturally wouldn't insist on going against the Crown Prince's wishes: "Yes, Your Highness."

After the Chief of Staff of the First Army sat down, Lan looked around and asked, "Who is the next person to report to?"

Chief of Protocol, Lilari, stood up at the opportune moment, dragged the screen over, and a holographic projection of the First Army's Chang'an Airport immediately appeared in the air: "According to the message relayed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is estimated that our starship will land here."

"Regarding the question of what you should say as your first words when you meet a human, in order to avoid misunderstandings due to cultural differences, our protocol department has urgently reviewed tens of thousands of protocol videos on the human internet."

"Based on the analysis of three thousand hours of video data, the most classic greetings between Earthlings are generally a handshake and polite small talk."

He lightly touched the translation button on the computer screen, and a clear and fluent Chinese text immediately came out: "May our vision of peace with your planet shine as eternally as the Milky Way."

Emmm......

Lan combed her long hair back, and said, somewhat reluctantly, "It sounds a bit affected. Let's revise it, make the tone and wording more natural."

The protocol chief, not quite familiar with human greetings, tentatively asked, "...Just saying hello?" That wouldn't do, would it?

Lan opened the information page on the screen, where the window contained scene suggestions written by the Crown Princess.

"This sentence should be changed to: On behalf of the Liernia Empire, I am visiting Earth. May our friendship flow like a long river."

Gao Tian once said that water is the source of life on Earth, and the earliest human civilizations originated on both sides of rivers.

Rivers hold special significance in human civilization.

Humans would probably like that statement.

Alright, the Chief of Protocol is very obedient. The Crown Prince has the final say.
