Olaf prepared a grand Western-style dinner for the queen, princess, Azshara and their retainers in the charming courtyard of the Alexander. Both the process and specifications followed the legendary royal dinner process. After all, he hosted the Oriental Dinner Party.
The state banquet was a bit nondescript - although he felt that the Western food was not as flavorful as the state banquet at the last celebration.
During the dinner, Olaf did not mention the star map presented by Her Majesty the Queen, and even rarely mentioned the connected war. He was more interested in introducing the customs and food of the earth to the queen and her party, and also temporarily acted as a guest.
The promotion ambassador of Blue Star introduced the current development progress of Blue Star and the progress of United College to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"By the time His Highness arrives, the urban area of Wangxiang will be almost complete. Several communities have been built and various facilities have begun to be laid. Your Highness, please try this caviar, it comes from my hometown." Olaf was eager.
He stretched out his hand to indicate.
Princess Egwene greeted with a smile and asked curiously: "Is your Excellency the Commander from Caspian?"
"Yes, I didn't expect His Highness to know so much about the earth."
Ewen smiled sweetly: "I have learned a little bit about your geography."
"Well, the prosperity of human beings in the past few hundred years comes from the Age of Discovery, which is the understanding of the earth. Now that we have stepped out of the earth and headed towards the stars, it can be regarded as a new great voyage." Olaf looked like an elegant man.
He followed the guidance like a scholar and said with a smile: "Has Your Highness ever understood this period of human history?"
"I just heard the teacher mention it, but I haven't had time to understand it yet." Ai Wen's eyes showed yearning, but also a little regret: "The human knowledge system is too huge, I guess I will never finish learning it until I die."
Olaf laughed: "No one can be called an all-rounder except your teacher, and even your teacher has no experience in the humanities and social sciences. For example, he doesn't know music."
Ai Wen smiled brightly when she heard this.
During the communication with the teacher, she would sometimes secretly have the idea of offering treasures and play the harp for the teacher. As a result, no matter how proficient she was in the music she played, the teacher would only praise her, and it was very sincere and not perfunctory.
That kind of thing - this means that the teacher is indeed a layman in music.
"Come, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Governor, try this ham that has traveled thousands of light years..."
The dinner ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, which also meant that the Queen's schedule for today came to an end.
Although Egwene was still unsatisfied, she still had to follow her mother back to the landing module, and slowly left the Alexander with Olaf's smile and wave.
On the way back, the Queen sat next to Egwene. Looking at the girl who was reluctant to leave, the Queen frowned slightly: "Aiwene."
"Mother." Egwene immediately looked away from the Alexander and looked at the Queen: "We can have such a battleship, right?"
As she said that, Egwene looked at Governor Azshara who was one step away: "Aunt Sa, the human flagship is much better than yours... Aren't you tempted?"
Azshara glanced at the Queen without leaving any trace, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Your Highness, no matter how good the flagship is, it is also used for fighting. If you really covet the comfort of a human flagship, we can build one that is equally comfortable.
non-combat spacecraft."
But Ai Wen shook her head and said: "That's different. On a rainy day, there are two different concepts: there is an umbrella but there is no umbrella to use and there is no umbrella to use."
The Queen had been staring at Egwene. Seeing that she was getting more and more enthusiastic when talking, she finally couldn't help but increase her tone: "Where did you get this theory? From humans?"
"Um..." Ewen saw her mother showing signs of being angry, and she immediately lowered her head obediently: "The teacher said this is a famous saying among human beings - I think it's quite right."
The queen was speechless for a moment, and after a while she and Azshara looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness rising in their eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, the Queen said softly: "It does make sense, but Egwene, I don't know if you have ever heard such a sentence."
"What words?"
The Queen looked at Egwene, the expression on her face gradually became serious, and her voice became a little more stern: "You already know that in this universe, energy and matter are equivalent. Then... you should be able to understand
, any gift from fate has already been marked with a price."
Ewen looked at her mother nervously - she could vaguely understand the meaning of the following sentence, but she didn't understand what it had to do with the conversation between the teacher and herself. She only knew that her mother's attitude was very strict now, so she said
Yes, it must be something extremely important.
After being silent again, the Queen continued: "Egwene, have you ever considered how our people and our civilization will survive and continue in this universe in the future?"
"No...do you have a mother?"
"I will return to my home planet one day." The queen looked at the girl and said calmly: "Sooner or later you will have to take on this responsibility."
Egwene immediately stopped talking - although she wanted to say that there was no king in the country where the teacher lived, and there was no ruler in human civilization.
"You go to a college set up by humans to understand human society and human thoughts; to learn human knowledge and human technology. Rather than treating humans as an object of imitation." The Queen looked at Egwene: "Although it is due to historical reasons.
, we have to learn from humans, you must not forget that the person who gave birth to you is a great civilization that has existed in the universe for millions of years and once had footprints all over the entire galaxy!"
"You should have your own pride instead of being blinded by human power. Do you understand?"
Egwene pursed her lips, took a few deep breaths, and nodded heavily.
The Queen slowly put away her severity. After a moment, she shook her head, and then looked at Azshara beside her: "Aissara, do you think humans will conquer all the way to the Executor Base?"
"I believe humans have this wish." Azshara thought for a few seconds and then whispered softly: "But now, their power should not be enough - they can adopt the strategy of guarding the wormhole to annihilate the teleported fleet, Executor
This tactic can also be used.”
As he spoke, Azshara paused: "From the moment humans began to counterattack, it was no longer a sanction action by the executor, but a war in which humanity, an emerging civilization, challenged a huge empire. Even though humans have powerful industries,
Ability, powerful AI, and... taboo technology that must be broken through at all costs, but the sacred civilization..."
Azshara couldn't help but shook her head: "With their current fleet strength, there is no problem in defending the Dika galaxy, but once the executor dispatches the super battleship... then... it will be difficult for them to go further. The most likely possibility is that
Humanity uses existing resources to engage in a war with executors that lasts for hundreds of years or even longer, until one side emerges with technology that changes the entire war situation."
The queen closed her eyes and nodded slowly.
——This is their judgment of the future situation.
There is no doubt that the power displayed by humans has far exceeded their imagination. After evaluation, the Silver Moon Kingdom has gained a completely consistent understanding that it may be difficult for humans to defeat the Enforcer Legion, but it is difficult to defend the existing galaxy.
no problem.
So as the Silver Moon Kingdom within the human defense line, there is no longer any suspense about which side it should stand on.
"You should be prepared. If we can get the human flagship, we will support them."
Azshara was startled when she heard this, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared in her eyes: "Your Majesty... Do we want to fully intervene?"
"Do you think the Executor Legion can really abide by the ancient contract?" The Queen slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of sullenness and helplessness in her eyes: "They have already made a request for us to attack the Tara fleet."
Azshara took a deep breath and immediately stopped talking.
"Egwene, any gift from fate has already been marked with a price - this sentence also includes peace and survival."
…
…
Planet Ella, Executor Base.
A huge battleship is preparing to pass through the induced wormhole - this is Hall's flagship.
Since the last meeting, Hall has locked himself in the room.
On the one hand, he needs to submit a report, and on the other hand, he also needs to conduct a thorough data collection of the entire Galaxy 31—to be precise, the several galaxies currently affected by human beings, in order to connect the two galaxies in an isolated galaxy.
The reason why China developed such a powerful civilization.
After the report was submitted, as expected, he immediately received questions from the hearing board and stated that an inspection team composed of three hearing board members would be dispatched to the base to conduct inspections.
After receiving this message, Hall immediately replied, stating that he was not at the Executor base, but was inspecting the battleship production line in the Frost Galaxy.
Are you kidding me... If those people are allowed to come to the base, they might conduct some messy investigations in the base - if nothing else, just the Krala criminal slave girl that that guy from Dika did is enough to make them
It's time to drink a pot.
——The leader of the investigation team is Lianna. Although that guy is Hall's classmate, he is also an out-and-out Sumaya, and is famous for protecting sinners under the banner of "highly intelligent racial diversity"
of.
Soon, Hall boarded the flagship and teleported to the Frost Galaxy via the induced wormhole.
Then... as soon as he crossed the wormhole, he received Liana's message.
"Hey, Mr. CEO, have you just arrived, or did you return to your base to use the toilet in the midst of your busy schedule?"
Hall pulled off his headphones and looked out the window.
In front of the induced wormhole, a spaceship painted silver-white was already waiting quietly.
"Damn...you guys came so fast?"
"When I send you the message, we have already boarded the ship. Let's go, the space city is waiting for you."
As Lianna's voice fell, the silver spacecraft originally used for scientific research was like a light fallen leaf, flying slowly and elegantly towards the space city that stood quietly above the distant orbit of Frost Star.
This space city was built on the basis of a space dock. It was just a factory at the beginning. With the continuous expansion, the governor of Frost Star was tired of the surface life-mainly because the gravity of Frost Star's surface was slightly higher.
, making it inconvenient for him to move, so he moved the Governor's Palace up.
The Frost Star is the livable mother star of the Frost Galaxy. It had a primitive and backward civilization tens of thousands of years ago. Later, after Sumaya's "enlightenment", the civilization of the galaxy successfully entered the space civilization. Subsequently.
It coincided with the establishment of the Executor Legion, and this civilization happened to be located next door to Executor Base No. 31, so it was logical that this civilization became the servant civilization of the sacred civilization.
After all, this civilization has seen the overwhelming battleship cluster of the Holy Legion.
Now that thousands of years have passed, the surface civilization of Frost Star has become highly developed. Even in space, you can see the bright lights on the side facing away from the sun.
Hall's flagship slowly sailed into the dock.
When the hatch opened and he stepped onto the cold ground, three Imperial men who were in excellent shape appeared in front of him.
"Anna." Hall strode towards the woman standing in the center - she was about 1.8 meters tall, with a curvy front and back, very slender, wearing a straight uniform and a white and blue striped oval hat.
Her long dark golden hair was tied back, looking dashing.
In comparison, Hall's figure is simply...
"Slow down." Lianna raised her eyebrows and shouted immediately: "I can't stand your bumping - let me introduce to you, this is Grena and this is Crozier."
Hall stopped one meter in front of the three people, put his right hand behind his waist, and saluted them.
The three people returned the gift at the same time, but there was no expression on their faces.
After all, the three of them are here to investigate the Level 8 incident, not to chat and build relationships.
"Where's the brandy?" Hall walked to the transfer car with the three of them, looked around and asked, "Come here, isn't it a bit too much for him, the governor, not to come out to greet you?"
"We're on the ground. Didn't you say you were inspecting here? Come and ask me?"
"hey-hey……"
"Is there something shameful in your base?"
"How is it possible? No!"
"Well, I have to go to the base anyway. I'll know when I see it."
While talking, the four of them got into the car and soon arrived at the center of the space city.
Many indigenous engineers from the Frost Planet can already be seen here - they are all very short, only less than 1.6 meters tall, and their identities can be clearly identified based on their size.
After seeing the four noble imperial men, these indigenous engineers prostrated themselves on the ground and expressed their most heartfelt respect to the envoys from the Holy Empire.
Soon, the four of them entered the most expensive hotel in the space city.
Under the service of the indigenous waiters, the four people sat around an oval desk and sat in the phase-change chairs.
"Tell me, what kind of civilization is that, and what taboos have been touched that require you to perform an eighth-level incident?"
Liana sat in the center, turning the pages of a simple book in her hand, her golden pen dancing happily on her fingertips.
"And, according to existing records, that civilization once sent you a handshake message."
Lianna stared at Hall, her expression gradually becoming serious: "You must be cautious about the civility of initiating handshakes. You don't need me to remind you, right?"
