From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"...a month or two. Many of the sarcophagi within the stasis facility have lost their self-sustaining energy sources and are now completely dependent on the facility's energy core. I need to make more preparations to prevent any energy supply issues during the relocation process."

Friston thought for a moment and offered a response.

"Rhodes Island will provide assistance, but first we have to dismantle the outdated energy boiler that Kal'tsit installed for Rhodes Island."

The Doctor suggests that Rhodes Island could be used to assist Friston.

However, Rhodes Island was only a semi-finished product when it was dug out, and Kal'tsit did not have the complete technology of the previous civilization, so Rhodes Island's power system has always used an outdated Originium boiler system of the current civilization. There is even a Sarkaz six heroes who are tired of war and act as a boiler worker in the boiler area.

But now everything is thriving, and in order to cooperate with the relocation of the Stasis Station, the doctor naturally plans to improve the semi-finished Rhodes Island. With the materials and productivity provided by Si Ye, it is not difficult to reproduce some of the technologies of the previous civilization.

"...That's perfect. Let's each focus on our own things. I still have to worry about the location of this boundary gate. Columbia and Yan Country are the westernmost and the easternmost, respectively, so neither is suitable."

In fact, the best location should be Lateran in the center of the Terra continent. However, because the original plan to travel to Lateran was interrupted, that dessert religious country has not yet joined the Terra Unified Council, so it can only be used as a backup plan.

"Then Saria, you go and confirm Rhine's life situation?"

"Yes! I'll go back to Rhine Life to confirm the situation of the Scientific Exploration Department. If there's really a problem... I'll need your help."

The places that the scientific expedition team went to were all remote areas of the Terra continent, so they usually stored a lot of supplies at the frontier outposts. But now it has been 4 months, if there is really no supply, even the large amount of supplies should have been consumed. Saria can only pray that this situation does not happen, or that the scientific expedition team can get supplies from Sami's tribe.

"Okay, let me know if anything happens."

The shuttle locked onto the Rhodes Island, which was docked outside the stasis station as a security facility, and quickly landed nearby. Hearing the noise, many Rhodes Island operators stationed on the ship came out, as if to welcome everyone home.

"Welcome back, Doctor."

Kal'tsit is still managing Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals in Tremont. Now Rhodes Island is completely managed by Priss. The Priss entity that went to internalize the universe to catch rabbits seems to have undergone some changes. At least there is only one Priss who came to greet the group.

"Well, long time no see, Precious."

The doctor looked around and found that apart from the personality fragment of Priss that was operating the drone, he couldn't find any other projection entities of Priss, which made him curious.

"You...is this the real body or the mirror entity?"

"The purest self is still sleeping, just like Sleeping Beauty, waiting for you, Doctor, to wake it up..."

Precious stroked the hair by her ear, and her voice briefly gained a little emphasis.

"As for us, we have reached some subtle 'consensus' within the internalized universe,"

The consensus reached is that the mirror projections will work together to compete with the original body for the doctorate. At that time, the five projections will work from Monday to Friday, the personality fragments will work on Saturday, and the original body will work on Sunday.

Tsk tsk.

After all, she is the ultimate heavy girl. As soon as Precious opened her mouth, Si Ye felt a strong gravitational field being generated. Si Ye was powerless to do anything about this situation. He could only say hello casually and take Saria to Tremont by car. Friston also found an excuse to slip away to the stasis station, leaving the doctor to stretch out his hand helplessly but unable to get any response from anyone.

...

“…I feel like this kindergarten is getting bigger and bigger.”

The ecological park in the Rhine Life Enterprise Park has become a paradise for children in Rhode Island. After a few months, there are even children's slides and seesaws.

Si Ye looked at the growing group of children in the distance and felt that something was wrong.

"You're back? Where's the doctor?"

Saria, who had gone ahead, probably informed Kal'tsit of Si Ye's return. Kal'tsit, wearing a white coat, hurried out of the Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals office and found Si Ye watching children playing in the park.

"We used Rhodes Island as the return coordinates, so the doctor was stopped by Precious."

Si Ye looked at Amiya and the others running in front of him, and pointed at one of them, Carters, who was wearing a white dress and the same jacket as Priss.

"Is that the rabbit Hilda Precious brought back?"

The mirror projection of Priss disappeared for a while. He said that he went to catch rabbits because he thought Amiya was cute. Unexpectedly, he actually caught one.

But this time Hilda was just a lucky Carters, and Priseth did not grant her any additional Originium authority to shield Originium diseases.

“Yes… but she didn’t take care of the child herself and instead left it to me…”

There was a hint of resentment in Kal'tsit's words, as if the master and mistress were not taking care of the family and letting their pets take care of the children. Si Ye wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.

"That's good too. Amiya now has another playmate..."

...

Chapter 352 Colombia's Recent Situation

"Okay, I understand. That means they still have plenty of supplies, but they can't evacuate for unknown reasons, right? Then let them wait a little longer. I'll go to Sami and bring them back in a few days."

After listening to Saria's report, Si Ye couldn't help but sigh that Ferdinand was indeed the pillar of Rhine's life.

Even though this top high-energy physicist of the current civilization on the Terra continent was involved in the management of two new energy experiments at the same time, he was still able to manage Rhine Life in an orderly manner, and there was no delay in delivering supplies to the scientific expedition team on the Sami Ice Field.

However, Sami was not a good place. Half a month ago, Rhine Life delivered the last batch of supplies to the ice field. After that, the passage from Columbia to the frontier research station suffered an unknown impact and could no longer be passed safely. This caused the research team to lose the passage to leave the Sami Ice Field.

Fortunately, the supplies for the scientific research team were transported in excess. According to the inventory on hand, it is not a problem for the scientific research team to save a little and last for one or two months. Communication can also be maintained intermittently, and the situation has not yet reached the worst point.

"How is the situation of the Terran Unified Council?"

The Terra Continent's makeshift political system only came into being under Si Ye's urging to establish the Terra United Parliament. After not intervening for several months, Si Ye also wanted to see how the member states of the parliament cooperated.

"Huh? Why do you think I know this..."

Kal'tsit tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why Si Ye would ask her these questions.

If it were the former Terra continent, Kal'tsit would naturally have to keep an eye on the international situation to prevent the abstract personifications of various countries from causing any world-destroying disasters.

But now Si Ye has intervened strongly, and most of the powerful countries on the Terra continent have become Si Ye's subordinates. The Doctor has also reached a cooperation with Si Ye. With such a big boss in front, Kal'tsit, who does not need to worry about too many things, has long entered a state of turning a deaf ear to what is happening outside.

In Kazdel, she still had to spare some energy to assist Theresa in handling government affairs, but after arriving in Columbia, Kal'tsit completely immersed herself in the various business operations of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, wholeheartedly solving the problems of the infected in Columbia and Casimir, and had no time to pay attention to Terran politics at all.

"Hmm? Didn't you say you are the all-knowing Kelsey?"

Si Ye's tone was very serious, but it made Kal'tsit want to cover her face and lower her head.

"...That's just a rhetoric for ordinary Terrans."

Kal'tsit, who once pretended to know everything based on her experience of wandering the continent for thousands of years, was hit in the heart by a boomerang. Facing Si Ye's teasing, she didn't know what expression to make.

Fortunately, Kal'tsit's professional skills were still up to par. Knowing that Si Ye wanted to know about the latest situation in Columbia and Terra, she had already activated the communicator.

"I've contacted the President for you. I'll have him tell you about the recent situation in Colombia."

"I'm coming, I'm coming, Lord Si Ye..."

As soon as Kal'tsit finished speaking, a blue dove with messy tail feathers flew out from the Rhine Life Corporation campus. The President had been living a miserable life during Friston's absence. Now, when he heard that Si Ye was back, he immediately put down his work and shifted his attention to Tremont's body.

"...Um...Where's father?"

With an abrupt stop, the President landed directly on Kal'tsit's head. He ignored Kal'tsit's increasingly unfriendly gaze and looked around for Friston.

"He's gone to check on the situation at the Stasis Institute. You can go find him after you report on the recent situation of the Columbia and Terra Unified Council."

Si Ye took the President off Kal'tsit's head, preventing Kal'tsit from accumulating anger and eventually entering the breath form in the future.

"No problem. Do you want to know those? Or should I just give you a brief summary of them all?"

The President danced his wings gracefully, and a large amount of data summary passed through his mechanical eyes. In a moment, he was ready to answer any questions Si Ye had in detail.

"Whatever, tell me what you think is important."

"Alright... Columbia has now completed its initial integration into the Star Empire system. However, due to Colombia's pioneering tradition, some new and old areas are experiencing management chaos due to the large number of infected people. However, with the assistance of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, progress is proceeding smoothly."

Since Si Ye had no specific requirements, the President naturally had to report on his work results first. Although he was usually troubled by the fact that Colombia's spirit of free exploration and hard work made the people difficult to manage, when he really talked about it, he was still quite proud of his "work", of course, except for those disobedient military personnel.

"Currently, Colombia is collaborating with Casimir on all fronts. I have to say, Casimir's business association is a joke. They're just trying to squeeze out a profit, holding on to the technology they bought from Colombia until they die without using it. It's truly hilarious."

"...So they were all hanged, but don't just laugh at Casimir. What about the companies inside Colombia? Do those companies know what's happening?"

Unlike the business federations that can only dominate Casimir, the big companies in Columbia are the undisputed giants in the Terra continent. Thor Industries, Black Steel International, Douglas Heavy Industries, Westin Security... all the well-known companies in the Terra continent come from Columbia.

"They're all very sensible. Even if there are some who aren't, I've already made them 'sensible'...except for Black Steel International."

The president answered quickly, but anyone could hear the bloody implication in his words.

"That old fellow, Qiaojia, is a bit old-fashioned. He insisted that I find a way out for his mercenaries before he would yield. Because his actions are still within the rules and regulations you, Lord Siye, have given me, Black Steel International will remain as it is for now."

Security contractors, private security services, mercenaries.

In the past, the Terra continent was in chaos, with tribal conflicts and many lawless areas. In addition, most Terrans had strong martial virtues, so mercenaries who sold lives were a very popular profession.

However, the birth of the Terra United Council has brought all member states into a special state of eliminating domestic hidden dangers and rapidly developing people's livelihood. Naturally, the demand for mercenaries, security personnel and the like has dropped rapidly.

That is to say, a well-known large security company like Black Steel International can still rely on old customers to make a living, but anyone with a little foresight can realize that the Terra United Council jointly established by the five countries has produced indelible changes to the international situation of the entire Terra continent. Bridge Cliff, the head of Black Steel International, is not a cold-blooded person, so it is normal for him to want to find a way out for his subordinates.

However, compared to the Sarkaz in Kazdel who became mercenaries due to life's pressure and can immediately retire when the environment improves, Black Steel International has a group of more professional mercenaries who are close to the military. These guys who are only good at fighting are just like the machete team of the Kazdel Military Committee. It is difficult to arrange their whereabouts.

"So Black Steel International wants an 'opportunity', or in other words, he also wants to send a force to serve me like the Sarkaz did?"

Si Ye thought that Black Steel International wanted to be like Ducare, bringing a team of mercenaries who only knew how to hack and kill people to serve him.

"That old guy, Qiaojia, has always been quite critical of the current situation in Colombia, so he might have more complicated ideas. If you don't want to waste time, I'll take care of him for you."

The president knows what is important and is willing to give Black Steel International a chance simply because Qiao Jia and Black Steel have made great contributions to the rise of Colombia. If Si Ye doesn't want to worry about such trivial matters, then it will naturally take care of everything quietly.

"Hmm... Let me see what the person in charge of Black Steel International has to say. Arrange a meeting between me and him."

The President flapped his wings: "Your will."

...

Chapter 353 Black Steel International

Bridge Cliff did not keep Si Ye waiting for long, or rather, the person in charge of Black Steel International was waiting for Si Ye to show up.

Less than 15 minutes after the President sent out the notification, the low-Earth aircraft belonging to Black Steel International landed outside the city of Clement, and Si Ye was able to meet this legendary Colombian veteran in the Rhine Life employee cafe.

"Well, I don't know what you like, this is a small gift, please accept it."

Still dressed in cowboy attire, Cliff appeared before him in a way that was consistent with Si Ye's stereotype of Sakta.

He held an ice cream in his left hand and a square gift box in his right hand.

"Hmm...it seems Mr. Cliff came prepared."

The gift box opened automatically, revealing a beautifully packaged but probably overly sweet dessert, as well as the ownership transfer contract of Black Steel International.

Si Ye raised his eyebrows, not understanding the other party's intention. If it was to find a way out for employees who only knew how to fight, then this behavior was completely unnecessary.
