Udalisi walked out of the office and came to the command cabin of the engineering spacecraft.
Looking out through the thick translucent body of the ship's cabin - which humans call "glass" - an oval asteroid is covered with construction machinery and a huge steel building.
Around the asteroid, several construction ships are releasing satellites, and further away are the battle flagship of the Holy Star Fleet and two frigates.
Further away, there is a temporary material transfer platform, where several material spacecraft are constantly taking off and landing.
This is the companion galaxy to the Holy Star home, and the man-made singularity is built here.
Udalisi frowned slightly, looking at the "singularity generating device" that had been formed in front of him and lost in thought.
Just now, he asked Grand Prix Ye Ming whether the reason why humans dare to face the executor is because of the use of man-made singularities - this is also the consensus reached by the entire Holy Star Academy of Wisdom after countless speculations and arguments.
If humans want to ensure the absolute security of the earth, they cannot allow the executors the opportunity to launch attacks.
Then...if they can make the man-made singularity extremely large, then they may really be able to send the Executor's fleet away directly.
If so, it means that humans have mastered higher-level energy.
However, Ye Ming denied this speculation and told him that human beings' measures are indeed based on defense first, but the best defense is offense, so human beings will cherish their friendship with Eyes.
"Uda. What are you looking at?"
At this time, a voice sounded from behind.
Uda turned around and saw that it was Quinte Lisi who was in charge of the construction here, and his expression immediately straightened: "Uncle Kun, I am thinking about how many resources we can obtain from humans in the future."
"Limited by power, I'm afraid the resources that can be sent over are limited." Quinterius smiled slightly: "And instead of seeking resources, it is better to seek technology."
Uda nodded, looking like he was being taught.
After all, Gwent Reisi is the most senior ceremonial person next to Makita Reisi, and he is also one of his supporters. He should respect him.
"By the way, how long is the progress on the human side?"
"I just asked Ye Ming, Grand Prix, they have about three months left."
"Three months..." Quintres frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that their engineering conditions shouldn't be so slow, right?"
"It should be because they are preparing for war." Uda thought for a while and said: "I heard that the diplomatic mission they sent has arrived at the Youmu Star today, and they are probably going to seek help from the Kodo tribe."
"Yes." Quentrys nodded, leaning against the central column, leaning slightly, with a bit of emotion on his old face: "Not to mention the local galaxy cluster, even the entire vortex super-galaxy cluster has already...
There has been no war for a long time. I don’t know what the outcome of this battle between humans and executors will be.”
Upon hearing this, Udalisi immediately became interested and walked to the other party with a curious look on his face: "Uncle Kun, you have seen interstellar war, right?"
"I have only seen the war between the two planets in the Turaka galaxy." Quint looked at Uda with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "No one has seen the war with the Executor.
.”
Uda was slightly startled, and subconsciously glanced at the mothership outside the ship window - that was the flagship of War Ceremony Herko. He had been staying here to protect safety.
"Helko said he had seen it."
"Helko is just an idiot. He has only seen planets destroyed by the Executors."
"Uh... I thought he had seen it with his own eyes."
"See with my own eyes... Haha, the executor hasn't appeared for many years." Quint also looked out the window, with a little emotion in his voice: "When I was young, I was just like you, brave and like to think.
Later, we gradually realized that the universe is far bigger than we imagined. Not to mention the local galaxy group of our home star, even if the vortex supercluster is included, in the eyes of the civilization behind the executor, it is probably still a remote place - so far
So far, no one, not even the Kerong people, know where the executor comes from."
Wu Da heard a moment of silence, and after a moment he took a breath: "Uncle Kun, do you think the technology of the Kerong people can compete with the Executor?"
"I don't know, you have to ask the people in Kerong."
"...Where should I ask?"
"Da Lisi is preparing to reopen the trade routes. Then you can go to the Kron galaxy to have some fun!" Quint Lisi laughed and winked: "The female of the Kron people is very upright!"
Uda was startled for a moment, and then he became excited: "Really? Is Dareji really planning to restart the waterway?"
"Shhh..." Quintrex made a silent gesture: "We have sent a return mission, so it is normal to restart the shipping lane."
Uda took a deep breath and then clenched his fists.
If according to the ancient Holy Star Calendar, he is only 80 years old this year - almost the same as 80 years old for humans - but among the Holy Star people whose life expectancy is generally over 300 years old, 80 years old is still only a period of "youth".
Since Uda can remember, the New Holy City has not opened trade routes, and has been carefully staying in this indifferent galaxy to develop and recover quietly.
But he knew that a hundred years ago, during the construction period of the New Holy City, there were actually trade channels.
After all, there is a shortage of resources here, so they still have to trade with other civilizations to exchange what they have.
Now that the waterway has been reopened, it means that the New Holy City will no longer take "survival" as its purpose as in the past, but will instead regard "development" as its goal.
"Okay, I'm going to take a rest. You can use your brain control to help me check the execution status, and also urge the human side..."
"OK!"
…
There are galaxies with eyes, on board the Starfinder.
Dong Xuanxuan stood in front of the porthole. She firmly held Eta's robotic hand beside her and stared intently at the huge hollow building in front of her.
In this human mission, Dong Xuanxuan came as a representative of Jizhi Technology.
Of course, her status is as a business and trade personnel, not a diplomat. After coming here for "inspection", she will return with the ship.
"Ita, what is this?"
"You hurt me." Eta shook the mechanical arm, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
Dong Xuanxuan laughed loudly. Although she let go of her hand, she hugged Eta's waist: "Is that okay?"
"itch!"
"Stop pretending! Tell me, what on earth is this?" Dong Xuanxuan said and looked behind her - a large group of people behind her were smiling at the two of them, and at the same time they were all looking at the huge building in front of them curiously.
In the previously revealed footage of the investigation of the Antoine Star, this building appeared once, but they did not know its specific use. They only knew that the space technology of the Antoine Star was very advanced and there were many spaceships... at least compared to
There are more humans.
But when they looked at it up close, they realized how shocking this thing was - the circular diameter of this cylindrical building was not large, only about a hundred meters, but its length was a bit too ridiculous. Just a simple visual inspection revealed that this thing was
At least more than five kilometers.
"Well, particle weapons."
"Scare! Is it true?" Dong Xuanxuan said and subconsciously took a step back: "Hey, dear, what do they want to do? Do they want to blow up the wormhole?"
"What a beautiful thought..." Etta chuckled: "To break the wormhole, they need at least stellar energy."
"Then give us a shot, can we bear it?"
"It's not finished yet - their spaceship is coming."
As Eta's voice fell, everyone saw two spaceships approaching quickly like meteors.
After a moment, a projection of a blue star appeared in the center of the spacecraft.
The man was just over two meters tall, handsome, tall and majestic.
"Human envoys, hello, my name is Gu Mu, and I welcome you on behalf of the Supreme Holy Star Presbyterian Church."
…
The Starfinder and the transport ship slowly followed the two spacecraft, heading towards the space orbit of the target star.
All the pictures are as sent back by the previous detectors. The base camp of the Kodo Blue Star people is a splendid space city built in space.
After the Xunxing docked at the airport, Dong Xuanxuan, wearing a spacesuit, followed Ambassador Cheng Jun sent by the human side and slowly walked down the spiral staircase.
As soon as she landed, she felt light-headed and somewhat unsteady on her feet.
"Madam, you have just entered the gravity zone from weightlessness, so you may need to get used to it."
In front of the passage, the Kodo envoy named Gu Mu looked down at Dong Xuanxuan slightly, speaking the language of the people with eyes in his mouth, but it soon reached the ears of Dong Xuanxuan and Ambassador Cheng Jun through simultaneous interpretation.
"Sir, maybe you misunderstood, our spaceship has a gravity zone." Dong Xuanxuan supported Eta beside her, looked up at the other person, and replied with a smile.
The blue star named Gu Mu was slightly startled: "Does your spaceship have a gravity zone?"
"Yes." Dong Xuanxuan took a deep breath, and fortunately, she supported Eta, which made her feel a lot better. Then she and Ambassador Cheng looked at each other, and the two of them picked up their feet and walked forward.
Sure enough, artificial centrifugal gravity is used here...
From this point of view, the technology of the Kodo people is indeed not very good.
Of course, they are here to do business this time. In theory, the worse the technology of the people with eyes is, the more beneficial it will be to mankind.
Seeing the two people taking steps, Gu Mu also started to lead the way.
Soon, the group of people stepped onto a long teleportation car. After a period of translational teleportation, the car stopped in front of a magnificent hall.
Dong Xuanxuan raised her head, looking at the palace in front of her that looked like a ladder to heaven, and her eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently.
As a representative, she had naturally seen the pictures of all the detectors and knew that this was the place where the elders of the Kodo people received meetings. But she did not expect that this ghost staircase was so long and high.
Just when she was secretly cursing, Ye Ming's voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Sister Xuan, do you want to complain?"
It was okay that she didn't hear Ye Ming's voice. As soon as she heard Ye Ming warn herself, Dong Xuanxuan went crazy and lowered her voice: "Nonsense, why don't you give it a try?"
"Hahaha, I would like to try, but it's a pity that I can't come."
"...Are you watching the scene?"
"Well, shared Eta's vision."
"Then you know how tall these aliens are... I always feel that they look down upon us."
"Yes, so...you have to take the initiative later."
"What kind of initiative?"
"Ambassador Cheng represents the attitude of peace and friendship of mankind, and you represent the crystallization of mankind's highest technology."
As Ye Ming's voice fell, Dong Xuanxuan saw that the blue star named Gu Mu who was Dai Lu in front of him - seemed to be the receptionist on the opposite side, and seemed to be an "elder" - looked back at herself.
Dong Xuanxuan met the other party's gaze and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"understood."
After finishing the exchange with Ye Ming, Dong Xuanxuan stepped on the stairs and looked at Ambassador Cheng beside her. She saw the other person smiling at her through the astronaut helmet.
It seems that Ambassador Cheng should also have received instructions.
Obviously, this time of the two of them, one of them should be playing the bad side, and the other should be playing the bad side.
Otherwise, if humans come from afar, they will be looked down upon by these arrogant guys!
…
The hundreds of steps reflect the grandeur of the palace, as well as the identity and majesty of the great elder sitting at the top.
When Ambassador Cheng Jun, Dong Xuanxuan, Eta and the two guard robots behind them stepped onto the highest point, the elders on the three seats looked at them in unison.
Ambassador Cheng Jun upheld the demeanor of human diplomacy, stepped forward and introduced himself, then took out a gift list and presented it to the young elder named Gu Mu.
The elder took the gift list, glanced at it briefly, put it aside, and then looked at Cheng Jun condescendingly.
However, before the great elder could speak, Dong Xuanxuan suddenly took a step forward.
"Great Elder, I would like to ask, don't you have any chairs here?"
Dong Xuanxuan raised her head and looked at the great elder who was sitting on the high platform like an emperor, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Chair?"
"Yes, in human etiquette, whether it is a transaction or cooperation, the postures of both parties are the same. Either they are standing or both are sitting. This will never happen. One party is sitting and the other is sitting.
Standing situation."
Dong Xuanxuan said while pointing to the golden chair where the three of them were sitting.
As her voice fell, Eta also translated her words into the Kodo language and reached the ears of these elders.
Then Dong Xuanxuan saw that the face of the elder Gu Mu who led them in became a little surprised.
This made Dong Xuanxuan slightly stunned.
Do these people not even understand the most basic diplomatic etiquette? No, they came to greet me...it means they still know some courtesy!
But now what does it mean if it doesn’t provide seats?
Or are these people just like the monarchs in the feudal era on earth? They think that humans have come across the sea of stars and co-authors are here to make offerings?
What's the difference between this... and the Qing Dynasty?
Silence fell in the main hall.
Dong Xuanxuan raised her head and looked at the great elder, her face not hiding her surprise at all.
The great elder's voice sounded.
"Bring me a chair."
After a while, two Blue Star people walked out of the side hall, one of them carrying a large gilt-backed chair.
