From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"Come~ Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Huifeng's pretty face was radiant with a lingering smile of satisfaction, which made Si Ye want to complain. Why would a properly nourished nanocluster have such a change in appearance? It didn't make sense to explain it by the power of psychic energy.

Enjoying Huifeng's service, Si Ye said, "No wonder you asked me for the guest list and preferences, Huifeng, you've learned bad habits."

"That's all thanks to His Majesty Si Ye's good teaching~"

After a while of fighting, Si Ye finally climbed up from the bed. The silver-gray nanomachines swept through the messy bedroom like running water, and the whole house quickly returned to its clean and tidy appearance.

"What are they doing now?"

5.6 or hours passed in total. Bringing people to the Star Sea Empire and then leaving them aside was not in line with Si Ye's style.

"Um…"

Huifeng responded, and his movements paused for a moment, probably because he was pulling information from the main data network.

"Ms. Christen and Miss Saria reunited with Miss Muirseth, who had returned from the ecological zone satisfied two hours ago. After learning that you, Siye, were busy, they headed to the guest room. According to the feedback from the surrounding autonomous machines, Christen requested several drinks within the past two hours, likely to celebrate."

It was more like a carnival than a celebration. At least when Christen asked the autonomous machine for some drinks, the shaking tail almost knocked it over.

Christen and Muirseth's long-cherished wishes were all fulfilled at once. Saria was sincerely happy for her two best friends, and she also saw a lot of things that interested her in the Star Empire. With the accumulation of emotions, the trio naturally celebrated.

"Miss Shu is still researching crops grown in hydroponic chambers. Although her knowledge isn't sufficient, her unique abilities make up for the lack of certain conditions for crop selection and growth. I suggest she join the agricultural department."

Millet's causal ability has a cheating effect on crop screening. Whether superior or inferior seeds are inherited is clear in her blue eyes. Combined with the empire's advanced crop cultivation acceleration equipment, the output of the hydroponic cabin has increased by 50%.

Huifeng's words were already very tactful, but his implicit meaning seemed to be asking Siye to quickly capture Shu. This kind of high-level unit that can stack bonuses is hard to come by even in the Star Sea Empire.

“…There’s no rush, no rush.”

Shushu is very good, but this kind of thing always requires an opportunity. Si Ye waved his hand and signaled Huifeng to continue.

"Miss Nian started a movie marathon at the cinema four hours ago. According to the information you provided, behemoths, which are naturally long-lived creatures, seem to have a completely different concept of time than ordinary creatures. Therefore, her movie-watching behavior may continue for a long time."

There are so many entertainment works in the Star Sea Empire that even when Si Ye first traveled through time, he used the works from his previous life's memories as plagiarists for a while. It was indeed enough for him to read for a long time.

“…Remember to remind her to eat.”

"Note: The spicy hot pot data that suits Miss Nian's taste has been sent to the logistics department."

When it was the former civilization duo's turn, Gray Wind's expression became much more serious.

"The two Pan-Human Community members, codenamed Doctor and Friston, have demonstrated exceptionally high levels of scientific research. According to the Star Empire's evaluation criteria for scientific researchers, Mr. Friston is considered a Level 8, while Mr. Doctor's abilities in some projects are even at Level 10. We strongly urge you to activate the Community Recruitment Act, using our accelerated recovery of their civilization as leverage in exchange for their work for the Empire."

The previous civilization was at least a civilization that had touched upon singularity technology. It was not surprising that the Doctor and Friston, as the top group among them, had such a level.

"No need. Let them first focus on reviving their civilization. Once everything settles, they will naturally become a helper to the empire."

Si Ye rejected Huifeng's proposal. The revival of the former civilization has almost become an obsession for the survivors of the former civilization. If they are not allowed to settle this matter, it will be difficult for them to settle down and slowly integrate into the Star Sea Empire.

"Understood. The situation of all the guests has been reported. Do we need to contact them to hold a welcome banquet?"

"Since it's like this, let's put the banquet off until later. Let's focus on work first. Take me to see the results of the second phase of the Cross-World Plan."

Everyone had found their own things to do, so there was no need to interrupt everyone's interest for a banquet. Si Ye planned to take advantage of this time to deal with the main matter that Hui Feng had called him back for.

Across the world plan.

As a time traveler, Si Ye understood that whether it was the ether engine for martial ascension or the visual probe for literary ascension, they were ultimately ascensions within the scope of the starry world and had not transcended the shackles of the starry world.

So after both the civil and military ascensions reached their limit, Si Ye launched a new ascension plan called the Cross-World Exploration Plan, striving to allow the empire to transcend the shackles of the world and step into a truly higher dimension.

The first stage was to develop an experimental shuttle based on the horizon probe. During the unmanned experimental stage, the shuttles were all lost due to insufficient energy, so Si Ye chose to go into battle himself, using his own psychic energy to provide sufficient energy, and successfully reached the Ark Terra, proving the feasibility of cross-world travel.

Subsequently, the second phase of the cross-world plan was launched, with the aim of opening up a stable and continuous cross-world connection channel and finding an opportunity that would allow the empire to truly achieve a dimensional upgrade.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the opportunity is not found. Stars, habitable planets, and even alien species that can be inserted into synaptic condensers, these non-renewable resources will never be too many for the empire. As long as the world on the other side is a normal universe, then there is no loss in opening this door.

In fact, this plan also has a third phase which can be regarded as a backup plan, but looking at the current situation, Si Ye feels that the plan full of uncertainty can basically be abandoned.

Chapter 218: The Difficult Plan Successfully Demonstrated (Part )

With the flash of light brought by the stargate jump, the Titan [East Wind], the flagship of the First Fleet on standby in the core of the empire, carrying Si Ye and Hui Feng, warped to the top-secret test site on the edge of the galaxy.

In this galaxy near the edge of the Milky Way, a grand scientific research hub is spreading its huge arms to both sides, and several mobile scientific research stations are slowly rotating around a star tightly wrapped by a Dyson sphere.

The planet, which had turned into a dead planet, absorbed a large amount of debris left by the explosion of various failed experiments under the influence of its own gravity, forming a silver ring belt.

"Over there are all the results of the cross-world exploration plan so far,"

Standing on the bridge, Grey Wind controlled the Titan's main data link, projecting an image of a corner of the galaxy in front of Si Ye.

It was a row of silver-gray circular arches quietly arranged in a row under the stable pull of the space anchor. From the appearance, it was more like a star gate, but smaller than a star gate, with a diameter probably only similar to that of the moon.

Not all of these doors are intact. Two doors on each side are broken and damaged. The engineering ship is using the repulsive field to recover the flying debris.

"Phase two of the plan involves establishing stable inter-world portals. A total of 13 portals have been constructed, and nine have successfully retrieved their world coordinates. Four portals exploded due to engine overload caused by failed retrievals. We're currently cleaning up the mess, and repairs are already underway."

[Dongfengzhi'a] switched to the engine for intra-galactic navigation and began to approach the scientific research hub. Huifeng quickly reported the progress and results of the cross-world plan to Siye.

"Furthermore, after successfully connecting to the nine portals of the world coordinates, the worlds explored by four of the portals have already fallen into extinction, temporarily named the Void World."

"The Void World? Isn't it because the coordinates are in deep space?"

"No, the data feedback from the detectors is extremely clear. These universes, tentatively identified as the void world, have even ceased to contain photons. They are truly void."

When photons no longer exist, it is hard to say whether this world can still be called a world. No wonder Huifeng calls it the world of nothingness.

"...13 doors, 4 were blown up, and there was nothing behind the other 4, which means only 5 were rewarded..."

Si Ye scratched his head and said nothing. It was a scientific experiment, so it was normal to have some explosions.

Even if opening the door of the cross-world plan would consume a year's worth of energy output from a Dyson sphere, it is still within the acceptable range for the current Star Empire.

"There are some gains. The moment the door opens, it creates a siphon effect, sucking in objects from the coordinates of the other-universe door across the way. Four doors have successfully spitted out objects, but the situation with the remaining one is difficult to judge, and you, Si Ye, will have to make the decision yourself."

"Even though you say that, Grey Wind... if it's just some building debris, my 'wisdom' won't be of much use."

Looking at Huifeng, Si Ye felt helpless. The memories of his previous life were just memories, and he was not omniscient and omnipotent. If the door only sucked in some building debris or something, he would not be able to figure out what was on the other side based on the texture of the bricks, stones and steel bars.

As he spoke, the Titan had already stopped at an optimal safe distance from the scientific research hub.

There is no large enough starport built here, so Titan cannot dock directly. If you want to reach this scientific research hub, you can only rely on a shuttle.

As soon as he got off the shuttle, Si Ye was warmly received by the scientific researchers in charge of the project.

The Xinghai Empire values ​​efficiency, so there was no extra greeting. After the main researcher in charge of the project confirmed Si Ye's understanding of the project with Huifeng, he immediately led everyone to the warehouse where the door spit was placed.

This warehouse is located behind the scientific research hub and is a large warehouse that was expanded through expansion modules.

Walking along the automated passage, Si Ye saw the first thing that came out of the door.

It was a huge mass of metal alloy mixture, and its nozzle-like shape could still be vaguely seen.

It is likely because the siphon effect created by the opening of the boundary gate has extremely high pressure and suction. A large number of pipes of this alloy structure similar to an engine nozzle have been torn off, and the thick metal layer has been twisted beyond recognition.

"According to supercomputer simulations, this is the upper part of a giant plasma thruster. If it weren't compressed by pressure, the nozzle diameter would be 30 kilometers, making it a massive engine."

The researchers responsible for studying the vomit quickly stepped forward and explained to Si Ye the information they had analyzed so far.

"Although it's enormous, the nozzle structure is outdated, the materials are extremely outdated, and the simulation output is also very unsatisfactory. I suspect the enemy might be a technological civilization similar to the pioneer Ute tribe, without super-light capabilities but with a good industrial system."

Huge engine...

Si Ye scratched his chin and thought of a possibility.

"Planetary engine? Little broken ball?... This one sucked half of a planetary engine away. The opponent won't be completely destroyed..."

"It seems you already have a clue."

Huifeng saw the change in Si Ye's expression and realized that he had confirmed the world on the other side of the door, so he signaled the researcher next to him to take over.

"Probably... I'll upload the corresponding memories later. They're a human civilization, meeting the requirements for acceptance and protection by the Pan-Human Community. I just hope they don't get killed directly by the impact of us opening the door."

After walking around the mountain-like planetary engine nozzle, the group came to a two-person-high analysis table. Clamped on the analysis table was half of a lifelike wing.

"The one in front is so big, why is this one so small?"

The diameter of the gate is about the same as that of the moon. The half wing in front of us is at most longer than an adult's arm. In terms of space scale, it is not much better than a grain of sand.

It's really hard for the scientific research ships responsible for observation and salvage, as they can see such a small thing.

"This wing incorporates a vast amount of biotechnology, undergoing incredibly horrific editing at the cellular level, allowing it to input energy and perform curvature movement."

The researcher in charge of this wing looked a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you should know that the Empire has always been sufficient in biotechnology and genetic technology. These wings are a composite carrier of biotechnology and genetic technology, so the information we have currently analyzed can only be inferred."

Si Ye didn't make things difficult for him because he was telling the truth, just like people who had activated mechanical ascension wouldn't build a farm.

The Star Sea Empire has psychic support in prolonging life, so the main focus of biotechnology starts with mastering gene editing, and has been stuck on how to make carnivorous starfish reproduce quickly while making them more delicious.

"So the other side's technology is stronger than ours?"

"No, they're only conducting large-scale extended exploration in biotechnology. They're still a long way from the Empire's most advanced technological systems. Furthermore, judging by the proportions of these wings, the owner of these wings is roughly the same height as us. Giving a single soldier the ability to fly at curvature..."

The researcher's expression was very subtle when he talked about this. It was obvious that he wanted to complain, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Si Ye.

"In my opinion, this is a very inefficient thing to do. Unless they have millions of such beings, I can't understand the meaning of their doing this."

"Wings capable of curvature flight, a gift from heaven, or a super seminary..."

Both options seem possible. It's hard to keep calm when you don't know which unlucky guy's wings have been torn off.

Si Ye tried hard to control his facial expression. He had a premonition that there would be something even more unbearable to him.

...

Chapter 219: The Successful Demonstration of the Difficult Plan (Part )

"Come, let me see who else is behind..."

Si Ye didn't let the researchers continue to lead the way, and walked quickly to the next location of the vomit.

Well... this one looks more normal, it's a person.

She was a young woman who was immersed in a medical life-support tank commonly used in the Star Sea Empire. Judging from her appearance, she was still a Mao girl.
