In fact, busy daily life is also very interesting. This idea came to me after I followed Lilina and personally guided...well, I got involved in the work of tree elves building their homes for a few days.
The tree elves need a new home. After we solved all the problems of the sleepers, this issue was placed in front of everyone. They have a population of 2.6 billion and have their own unique cultural system. They are another country that does not even have a name.
The combination of these characteristics of weakly divine creatures created by the goddess of life means that we must at least give these elves a safe planet as their new home...
Now they are temporarily living on the home planet, but the home planet lacks the facilities and resources needed for the survival of carbon-based colonists. Gaia has activated three super huge ecological domes, but they can only meet the needs of the tree elves for a short period of time.
Moreover, the active psionic environment of the home star is also a potentially fatal threat to ordinary races at any time, so they need to move as soon as possible.
The tree elves are the last dependents of the old empire. They completed the last mission entrusted to their people by the old empire, and also brought vital information to the new empire. All this made Sandora and I have a deep love for these pointed ears.
The elves have extra affection - or to put it bluntly, favorability, so we have arranged additional preferential treatment for this race: preparing a planet for them in the shadow space.
The current shadow space has expanded to an incredible size. According to Bubble, it is now approximately the size of a Milky Way - this refers to its full border size. In fact, the edge of the shadow space gradually transitions to a lawless zone, and finally
It is connected to the void, so about a quarter of its space is unusable, but even if it is equivalent to three-quarters of the Milky Way, this is an exaggerated size. It is hard to imagine that its prototype was just
It's just a projection of K city into a different space. The expansion of the shadow space has been temporarily stopped, and it is estimated that it will not start to expand again for a long time. Its current size is what Bubble thinks is the optimal size. If it is too small, it will be a waste of shadow.
The bandwidth of the space control network. If it is too large, the stability will decrease.
In such a vast space, the places we can use are still limited. Many military facilities, even giant facilities like the Planet Fortress Manufacturing Factory, only cover an area the size of a star system. Ninety-nine percent of the space in the shadow space is several
The nine areas are all stand-by areas. Sandora has planned to gradually fill these gaps with colonial stars and military fortresses in the next few thousand years, and now the tree elves have become the first batch of non-Xiling permanent residents in the shadow space.
.We created a small star system about a hundred astronomical units away from the home star Gaia. The sun of this star system was picked up when Little Bubble went out to play last time...
Um, I'm right, that girl picked it up. You know, Little Bubble likes shiny things. Last time she led Ji Shanshan and a group of royal guards out for a walk, and it turned out that they looked at it from a very appropriate angle.
When she saw a very shining star, Her Royal Highness the Princess ordered it to be picked up on the spot. At that time, she was accompanied by Qianqian - I don’t need to explain it later, an ignorant little girl and a thoughtless girl.
It’s not surprising what happened when the big girls got together. After confirming that there was no life around the star, the Royal Guard actually dragged the thing to the shadow space. But after dragging it back, Little Bubble lost interest in it: Princess
What His Highness wanted was a bright ball the size of an egg, not this nuclear reactor with a radius of 780,000 kilometers. She never expected that the toy she was interested in would be so big when she got closer.
This somewhat useless star has been sitting idle in the shadow space for several months. It has been used as a testing ground for Misaka's detectors, and now it is finally put to use. It has been repaired and the aging equipment has been reset.
The element core, after removing the reaction waste, replenished enough hydrogen and helium that are beneficial to the health of the star, lost a little weight, and then dressed up to act as the sun of the tree elf.
There are currently only three planets in the new star system, and the innermost one is a resource-rich mineral planet. We found it in a desolate sky area. Then we dragged it back to the tree elves as a source of industrial materials for future development. The second planet
Located in the habitable zone of the new star system, the new home of the tree elves is here. This planet is slightly larger than the earth - it has a surface environment that is almost the same as that of a green star. Its predecessor was a retired planet battleship, formerly known as "War"
"Dawn", this star battleship was hit by a Shepherd's suicide ship during the Battle of the Great Nebula and had its shield generator and armor layers destroyed. It has not been fully repaired to this day due to the raw efficiency of the early "Zero" class star battleship technology.
At the same time, Tavel has obtained many crucial new technologies from the Warsong. This type of decommissioned planetary warship has basically been eliminated. Sandora has been having a headache on how to put these war relics to use again.
Now we have finally solved the purpose of one of them: giving a home to the tree elves. This starship that has experienced many battles has been re-covered with a thick crust, and the rivers, lakes, seas and atmospheric systems have been reset. As long as the basic atmospheric balance is stabilized
The immigration can begin. Now it has a new name: Oasis. This name was unanimously agreed upon by the tree elf navigators, who hoped to commemorate their hometown in this way.
Located at the outermost edge of the new star system is the ancient starship that has completed its historical mission: Green Star.
The green star is now no longer suitable for life. Its core is highly cooled, its mantle structure is completely destroyed, and it lacks sufficient power for geological change. More importantly, the layer of green gel crystals covering its surface has deteriorated. It has been for tens of thousands of years.
Exposure to harsh environments, or even resistance to the void, caused the gel shell to become a forbidden area for life. The cost of clearing the shell and transforming the Green Star was enough to create three colonial stars of the same specifications. After growing up with the tree elves,
After discussions among the researchers, Shandora and I decided to give up the reconstruction of the Green Star, and instead placed it at the outermost edge of the new star system and preserved it as a monument that witnessed history.
As for the original oasis star located in the center of the earth, it has now been transferred to the outside by space technology. It now looks ugly, and the lush and fantastic beauty of the past can no longer be seen. After the mother tree was peeled off from it, what was left
There are countless huge ravines and deep caves that run through the entire planet. In the caves, you can only find carbides accumulated by plants for thousands of years and some very ancient monitoring equipment: these equipments have even been forgotten by people, and in one after another profound and complex ancient devices
After it broke, the tree elf navigators gave up repairing these things completely. Now this planet, which is smaller than the moon, is still the moon of the tree elves, and it is placed in the orbit of the new "oasis" for twenty-two days.
Orbit around its home star.
On the oasis - this term will refer specifically to the new home of the tree elves from now on, which is the ecological planet transformed from the star battleship - Lilina and I and several tree elf navigators personally participated in the launching ceremony of the transformation project.
, including the patriarch who is the representative of the tree elves and the former captain of the Green Star, the eldest elder among the tree elves. When the first atmospheric control tower was lowered to the surface from a low orbit by an aircraft carrier, and
After it started rumbling, the patriarch sighed softly.
"Finally arrived. Thank you for your generosity."
Smiling: "Your contribution to the empire will be remembered forever, you deserve it."
In fact, I almost said this just now: No need to be polite, we are all our own - I didn't say this sentence. Because Lilina pinched my little finger in time, this girl has been with me for a long time, and now she knows very well who she is around.
"Actually, the tree elves didn't have a close relationship with the empire when they were -" Lilina looked up at the patriarch, "I remember that not long after you were rescued by the emperor, something happened to the empire. No.
To think that you are so loyal."
"The tree elves are a race that values commitment," the patriarch thought for a moment, then added, "Of course, the more important thing is that we can't find where to brake..." This means that their mission journey of tens of thousands of years is completely
Because I can't stop.
Suddenly I felt that this old lady was too real - is it appropriate for you to say this in front of me?
A weird leader like Lilina couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Taking this opportunity, the patriarch began to pull the elders around him to look at the towering atmospheric control tower on the great plain in the distance. It was one of the most important buildings in their new home.
The elder of the tree elf is really too old. When I saw him in the Green Star control room, the old man was already a little unclear. Today he seems to be a little more rickety. This former starship
The captain was still wearing his fleet uniform that he would never change. He looked at the tower with confused eyes under the guidance of the patriarch, and then suddenly shouted: "You said, we have arrived at the station?"
His voice was so loud, but the patriarch was used to it and answered with the same loud voice: "Yes, the mission is completed, this is the new home of the tree elves..."
"We want to live on the surface?" the old man shouted with a louder voice. "Oh. OK, go find my log. Let the boys prepare some air chambers. Maybe the atmosphere will leak again..."
The patriarch spread his hands to me helplessly: "He was confused again and thought Green Star was on his way."
I looked around and saw that all the Green Star navigators were old. The old lady like the patriarch was actually the youngest among the navigators. They were working for a long time during the journey, outside the dormant cabin.
Too long has passed. When Green Star--, most of the navigators were in their prime, and now, their captain is so old that he can't even remember his own name--but he still remembers his ship.
Long diary. I think that maybe the problems of these old people should be solved before the tree elves move into their new homes. They deserve to be compensated for their arrogant ten-year journey, and I should be able to compensate them for everything they want: youth, life
, a healthy body, and even rebirth with a newborn body, this does not seem to be a difficult thing. At most, Dingdang can exploit his own loopholes again...
However, when I mentioned this, the patriarch and several navigators shook their heads at the same time.
"That's enough for this life," a white-haired old man smiled cheerfully. "The tree elves can live for more than 100,000 years - this is calculated according to the new empire's counting method. The mother tree given by God gave
We have a very long lifespan. Compared with other short-lived races, most tree elves squander these years very luxuriously. But I think at least we old guys live a more meaningful life than other tree elves. It seems very good for us to complete something.
It’s a great mission, and I won’t have any nostalgia for it in this life. The ancestors of the tree elves left a message: The souls of travelers will eventually get tired, and now we just want to take a rest, and we have no other requirements.”
I feel that their choice should be respected, so I will no longer force it, but I also promise that as long as the navigators have any requirements, the empire will try their best to meet them.
When Lilina and Lilin left the new oasis, she mentioned some of her plans.
"The new oasis planet will still be under construction for some time, and the tree elves will not all immigrate to their new home in a short period of time. Now they are temporarily divided into other worlds. Our macro world is developing very fast. In many worlds, the 'Space-Time Administration' even
It is an overt organization that can actually affect the world structure - although it has not been made public. Many of the tree elves that have been diverted now live in the macro world, arranged by local prosecutors or special commissioners. Some tree elves live in the name of the local administration.
Among the various bases under the control, some were taken in by nearby families, and I discovered some very interesting characteristics of this race."
Seeing my cooperative expression of curiosity, Lilina smiled proudly.
"They are really born travelers - or diplomats. The tree elves are very adaptable to this kind of cross-world transfer. Even some younger tree elves who have been dormant for a long time in the past tens of thousands of years are still adapting to this.
They are very interested in the life of living in a different world. They can adapt to the customs and culture of the new world in a very short time, and master the local etiquette without any teacher. The tree elves who are arranged to live with the local residents are even more impressive.
I was surprised. Originally, I was worried that they would affect the daily lives of the families responsible for hosting them. But the feedback came back that they had reached an agreement with everyone: these gentle elves were born to be goodwill ambassadors!”
To be honest, I didn't know much about these details before. I know that Gaia was responsible for temporarily resettling these elves at the beginning, but then they were handed over to the Immigration Management Department, which in turn worked with the Space and Time Administration.
Hook, now it seems that the military capital of Shadow City is indeed not suitable for arranging a population of 2.6 billion, so these tree elves were sent to various parts of the macro world to temporarily settle down. This was originally an emergency move, but it seems... the elves are very adaptable?
"Of course there are exceptions." Lilina added, "Those navigators, as well as the staff who stayed awake for a long time during the voyage, as well as the last batch of tree elves civilians who entered the hibernation cabin, they have already responded to any form of
We are tired of traveling. These tree elves account for about ten percent of their entire family, which is two to three hundred million people. These people want to have a stable home. In this way, we will first arrange for the two to three hundred million people.
The population has improved. It just so happens that the ecological dome group in the early stage of New Oasis can accommodate so many people. Invisibly, our workload has been reduced."
"Then what?" I instinctively felt that Lilina had other plans. She was used to finishing small things first, and then the main event came later.
"Then? Then we still have 2.4 billion salesmen left," Lilina shrugged. "Boss, haven't you noticed? Your empire has a colonial bureau, a local colonial governor, and a fleet, but it only lacks the ability to
There are liaison officers running around between colonies and special envoys in contact with the lower world. This is not normal! The censors in each world are equivalent to the role of colonial governors. What they should do is fixed days every quarter.
Come to Shadow City to report on your work, instead of coming in person to report on trivial matters every now and then. The emperors of the Space and Time Administration should not be running around outside all day long. Many members in the macro world are in remote and desolate places.
, but when communicating with them, you need to send someone from the headquarters - if your empire is compared to a country on the earth, then the current situation is that if the pigs in any small mountain village do not give birth, the capital will have to send someone.
Don’t you think something is wrong when a department-level cadre comes to offer condolences?”
After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "I never noticed it before..."
"Of course, the most important reason is that the imperial soldiers are really no longer suitable to serve as envoys," Lilina said with a defeated expression on your face, "Now the ones sent out to communicate between the capital world and the border world are basically
Imperial soldiers, I’m not saying that those big-headed soldiers are not smart, it’s just that...it’s probably only your big-headed soldiers who can load their guns and wait for the president to sign the contract..."
: "..." Damn it, this seems to be true!
"Be close to the people, be close to the people," Lilina said with a heartbroken look on her face, "When Macro World was first established, it was an organization oriented to the lower-level civilizations. However, you hired a group of imperial soldiers as couriers. In which community did you see that the people collecting water and electricity bills were the People's Liberation Army?
uncle?"
Finally defeated by Lilina's endless wonderful metaphors, she raised her hands and surrendered: "In other words, you plan to let the tree elf join the Space and Time Administration and act as... what is that called?"
Lilina said solemnly: "Liaison officer, you see, those tree elves are stable and kind-hearted, patient and responsible, and friendly. This makes them suitable for the work of liaison with ordinary civilizations. And then they themselves are vassal races of the empire, and Ai
The Salvation Army of Xerath or the Eden Federal Government Army can also be regarded as your cronies, and then they can be absorbed by the whole clan into goddess believers. Now the Goddess of Life Cult is the state religion promoted by you and Sister Sandora in the macro world.
', you also know the situation, basically believing in the person in your pocket is equivalent to believing in you... I mean, research has found that goddess believers are more likely to arouse the favor of the residents of the macro world. To sum up, tree elves may
They are the most common liaison officers in the macro world from now on. They can replace your imperial soldiers to run errands in various worlds. You can save a large group of troops, and by the way, the Space and Time Administration does not need to answer complaint calls every day..."
Is it necessary for this girl to hit me with a weak point in the last sentence? The imperial soldiers are confused about who to provoke whom. This is - well, there seems to be quite a lot of "who" they usually provoke...
