From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

From the outside, the doctor didn't seem to be hurt, but Kal'tsit was full of worry and cried out anxiously.

"Huh~cough, cough, cough."

The doctor in the chair took a deep breath, as if he wanted to expel all the air in his lungs along with his emotions, but his thin body made him cough violently instead.

"Doctor, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's Kal'tsit. I'm not dead. I'm fine."

The Doctor belatedly realized what was happening and turned his head away. His tone was cheerful, completely devoid of the gloomy and depressed feeling he usually had. He then rubbed Kal'tsit's ears as if it was something convenient.

"!!!"

The doctor's actions made Kal'tsit's ears stand up again. She took a few steps back and stared at the doctor.

I hope the doctor has been replaced.

"Aha, sorry Kelsey, it was just a spur of the moment thing."

It seemed that the doctor felt that doing this in front of so many operators would undermine Kal'tsit's dignity, and he scratched his head apologetically.

"Get off the bus, why are you stuck here..."

Si Ye walked out of the rear cabin and saw the operators shouting all around him, as well as the old green lynx with a look of surprise and doubt on its face.

"We still need to discuss some details. Do you want to explain it to them first, or what?"

I took the Doctor to complete a cross-world transmission, showed him the fleets and megastructures within the Empire, and after laying the facts before him, he felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he became much more lively.

"Si Ye...should I add..."

"Just call me Si Ye,"

Si Ye waved his hand to stop the doctor from using a honorific after his name.

"The Star Sea Empire and the Community are two different things. It's never too late to call them that when you are incorporated into the Empire."

"Then, Si Ye, let's discuss the purpose you mentioned earlier in detail."

The doctor turned his head and gestured to Kal'tsit who was hesitant to speak.

"Kelsey, please wait a moment. I will discuss this matter with you later."

The tone was light, but with an unchangeable seriousness.

Faced with such a doctor, Kal'tsit looked back and forth between Si Ye and the doctor for a long time and nodded.

"I see."

It was still the same conference room, but this time the doctor no longer looked so bitter and resentful, which made the atmosphere in the entire conference room much more lively.

"I have already proven to you that the community exists, so please give me an answer first."

The flag of the pan-human community composed of psychic energy was raised, and Si Ye released several small floating cameras for recording. Official business should be handled in an official manner, and the necessity of procedural justice still needs to be observed.

"us?"

The doctor looked around. He didn't quite understand what this meant. It couldn't be Kal'tsit.

"He's talking about me, Doctor..."

A soft female voice sounded, and the lights in the conference room gradually dimmed, until a beam of light hit the doctor.

A female projection with black shoulder-length hair appeared beside the doctor, looking at him gently with a smile.

"Pureseth?"

The doctor's voice was full of surprise.

"There are only two humans left from the former civilization, one of whom is you, Doctor."

The other one is Priss, the doctor's subconscious reaction, but Si Ye's subsequent words almost made the doctor unable to hold back.

"The cyber-ghost lady next to you counts as half. Together with Friston, who's running the Preserver Project underground in Columbia, you're the only ones left of the former civilization."

"Friston...he's still here!" The doctor muttered to himself.

Precious was clearly unhappy with the nickname Si Ye had given her in front of the Doctor. "Calling a woman a cyber-ghost is not gentlemanly at all."

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, Miss Precious, this fragment of your consciousness would have been deleted as a virus when it tried to invade the mainframe of my spaceship."

The fragment of consciousness that Precious left in the PTRS system in Rhodes Island may be worn out, but it still maintains a minimally active state. Please pay attention, Doctor.

When Si Ye took the Doctor to the shuttle and prepared to leave, Precious tried to access the ship's main engine through the spacecraft's external signal link. If Si Ye had not quickly discovered that the signal source was abnormal, Precious would have had to wait until the Doctor entered the Originium internalized universe before he could see the Doctor.

"..."

After being exposed, Precious was silent for a moment, then looked down at the doctor.

"Friston is far away in Columbia, so let the doctor make the decision. I will support whatever decision the doctor makes."

Si Ye looked at the Doctor. Even without using psychic powers, Si Ye could sense that the Doctor was in an excited state under the hood that made it impossible to see his expression.

Not only did he receive help from Si Ye, a seemingly more advanced civilization, but he also received news that there were two other colleagues from his former civilization besides him. If his scholarly manners were still restraining his behavior, the doctor would have wanted to jump onto the table and cheer loudly.

There were three people in the previous civilization, and now only the Doctor is left. With the support of Priss, the majority of votes have fallen into the Doctor's hands.

The doctor looked at the projection of Prisus beside him, then at Si Ye, cleared his throat, and said solemnly, "Then I will represent the pre-human civilization and join the pan-human community."

Chapter 11 A Brief Discussion on the Follow-up

The nanometals rapidly gathered together to form a card with the flag of the Pan-Human Community printed on it, which fell into the doctor's hands.

"This, is this enough?"

The doctor's somewhat unrealistic metal surface of the Mosuo card, as long as the hand touches the metal card, a series of text projections will pop up on the metal card, which seem to be some regulations of the pan-human community.

"If you were to go to the Empire's main world, perhaps the community would organize a formal welcome ceremony for you, but if I invite you directly to join the community, that's all it would take."

Si Ye sat up straight. What they were going to discuss next was a mixture of public and private matters, so no record could be left.

"The next step is to figure out how to assist you, but before that, there's some information I need to know, like Originium and what's in the ocean."

"Um, I know about the Originium plan. The one in the ocean refers to the Deep Blue Tree. What's wrong with this plan?"

"Oh, nothing."

Si Ye's face was full of amusement.

"It's the fish in the sea that drove the robot vacuum cleaners you prepared crazy, and they're going ashore to be assimilated by everyone."

"..."

Since waking up, the doctor has had mixed opinions on the current civilization of Terra. If you say they are bad, there are also disasters caused by the Source Stone of the previous civilization; if you say they are good, every country looks like a dog or a donkey.

However, what does it mean to be driven crazy by a sweeping robot? It seems that the anthropomorphic political systems of the countries on the continent are not enough, there are still masters in the sea.

"The Heaven's Fulcrum is an interstellar weapon, so I won't ask about it. You've also seen the Warp Demons, and I can deal with them. But as for this Originium and Haisi, if they get out of control, do you have any means to control them?"

The subspace demons on the Terra continent are not difficult to deal with for the empire that has conquered the virtual realm, but things like Originium and Haisi, which seem to be the crystallization of the top technology of the previous civilization, are best handled by dedicated personnel.

After all, the most direct way for the Empire to deal with this situation is to eradicate it violently, but Si Ye still plans to turn Terra into his own backyard, so there is no point in blowing it up into ruins.

Faced with Si Ye's question, the Doctor and Precious looked at each other, and finally Precious spoke first.

"The Originium Project has only stalled due to the emergence of Terra's current civilization. The Doctor and I still hold the highest authority over the internalized universe. As long as [civilization] survives, there will be no problems."

The doctor took over the conversation. "But we're not the only ones in charge of the Deep Blue Tree... Perhaps if we head to the core of the Deep Blue Tree deep in the South China Sea, we can rely on the authority of the previous civilization to solve this problem. However, we need more information before we can give you an answer."

"As long as you can handle it, remember the problem I mentioned when we first met?"

Si Ye's face looked serious, as if they were discussing something very serious.

"In my personal capacity, I would like to make a deal with your former civilization regarding the ownership of the Terra continent."

"With us?"

The doctor pointed at himself. There were only a few people left from the former civilization, and it was not certain whether they could make up a sufficient number with the creations. He did not think that the continent of Terra had any ownership relationship with him.

"To me, the biggest problems facing the entire Terra continent are Originium and Haisi. These are all planned products of the previous civilization, so reaching a consensus with you is the top priority."

"Indeed." The doctor nodded. He didn't think that the little troubles of Terra's current civilization would be a big deal in front of Si Ye.

"So what I mean is, one planet for one planet, I will provide you with a habitable planet with more than 20 grid cells,"

The empire, which has mastered a full set of planet transformation technologies, has no shortage of habitable planets. Si Ye brought out his own chips.

"You must give up ownership of the Terra continent and cooperate with me in handling the remaining issues such as the Sea Heir and Originium. After all, in this world, you still have to worry about the [Lumberjacks]. Why not choose to go to a new place and start a new story?"

"A planet?"

Precious subconsciously looked at the doctor, wanting to ask him whether it was true or not.

After seeing the scale of the Star Sea Empire, the doctor naturally had no doubts about Si Ye's words. When the other party has become so powerful that it is far beyond your reach, the greatest luck is that the other party is willing to have a normal conversation with you.

The Doctor replied: "It's true. I'm impressed by the strength of the Pan-Human Community and the Star Empire."

"If you want to transfer the Originium, then you should find a way to retrieve the original Originium now..."

Precious immediately began to think, muttering to himself. After a moment, he raised his head and asked Si Ye with confusion.

"But what does this planet mean to you?"

"The beast-eared girl is pretty."

"what?"

Precious was wondering if there was something wrong with the radio system in the conference room.

"Although the current civilization on Terra is full of nagging philosophers and dog-ass rulers, the beast-eared women are quite pretty, so I plan to take it in as a tributary world."

As long as the abstract political system of the Terra continent is eliminated, and the previous civilization creates a special medicine for mineral sickness before migrating the source stone, Si Ye will feed it to the evil demons on the ice field, and use some tricks to transform the environment, Si Ye will be able to get a perfect back garden for beast-eared girls.

"it is good…"

"PhD?"

"Okay... ahem, we agree to this deal."

The doctor wanted to agree with Si Ye's perfect idea, but under Precious's kind smile, he coughed awkwardly twice and agreed to this win-win deal.

"Oh, one more thing. Doctor, please introduce me to Theresa later. I'll also help her get some useful manpower from the current civilization."

The problem with the Ark Universe is the existence of an "Observer" who is not sure whether it is the law of the universe or a more advanced civilization. This makes it full of risks for things like fleets to appear directly in this world, and it is not worth it considering the value of the Terra continent.
