From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"...I'll settle accounts with whoever came up with this crazy idea later. You must retreat immediately and stop obstructing the Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals landship from docking with Tremont!"

After a round of scolding, the president did not make things difficult for these soldiers who followed his orders. He just ordered them to stop playing with fire.

"Reporting to the President, we have received intel that the enemy's land-based ship may be hiding contraband, and we cannot rule out the possibility that they are here to steal Columbia's advanced medical technology, so we..."

The team leader wanted to say something, but the communication channel was filled with endless curses.

"Fuck you, listen up! I don't care what you're thinking. I, Mark Max, have issued an order requiring you to retreat immediately and not interfere with any of Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals' operations in Tremont! Do you understand?"

As soon as the president heard what the team leader said, he understood that someone was plotting against Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. If it was an ordinary company, it would probably just have to accept it, but is Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals an ordinary company?

The President was not afraid that Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals would suffer losses. After all, the person sitting on Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals' land ship was very likely a former civilized human walking on the Terra continent.

As a creation of a previous civilization, it knew only too well how terrifying its creators were. It could guarantee that if a conflict arose, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals would definitely not be the one to suffer.

The President doesn't care about the life and death of the Terran people, but he still wants to build Columbia better so that he can hand it over to Friston as an assignment to get another praise. He can't let this country perish like a joke.

“…I understand, Your Excellency the President. I salute you.”

The leader of the convoy had no idea of ​​the deep thoughts in the president's mind. He was silent for a moment and chose to follow the president's orders.

"Issue a warning interruption. Tell them in clear text that this was a misunderstanding. As an apology, open a green channel for them to connect with Tremont as quickly as possible."

In Rhodes Island, M3 is already sharpening her claws. Perhaps it is because the way she and Kal'tsit separated was not normal, so M3's personality still seems a bit childish even though she shared Kal'tsit's experience and knowledge.

Unfortunately, her efforts were in vain. The city defense convoy outside the land ship suddenly turned 180 degrees and began to evacuate, while continuously broadcasting to Rhodes Island that it was a misunderstanding.

"...Si Ye, have you contacted the people from Rhine Life?"

The doctor scratched his head, somewhat confused about the situation.

"No... I'm still thinking about hacking into Tremont's city defense system and using their city defense artillery to attack their own people."

Si Ye looked at the communicator in his hand, not understanding why the other party suddenly became cowardly.

"What a shame! I wanted to see the effectiveness of Tremont's city defense firepower."

"...you... never mind. Whatever conspiracy you have is probably insignificant. Let's complete the connection and enter the city first."

The Doctor had nothing to say about Si Ye's playful attitude and could only give the order for Rhodes Island to start parallel docking.

Chapter 170 Colombian Military

"Conrad, I'm going to Tremont for a while. If anything happens, remember to report to me immediately!"

In the special zone, the president was flying around the office in a completely unruly manner.

"My father's compatriots are here, and they will definitely go to look for my father, so I need to be by his side as soon as possible so that I can follow them to see my father..."

"…The President, the Minister of Defense, and the Commander of the Third Federal Army District wish to see you…"

Conrad looked at the message on the information panel in front of him with a hesitant tone.

"Fuck, they're all..."

The president cursed with great dissatisfaction, but still performed his duties, flapped his wings, and landed back on Conrad's shoulder.

"Let them in. They better have enough to bother me."

Conrad issued a notice of acceptance, and soon after, the Colombian Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Third Military Region entered the office together.

Thanks to Colombia's pioneering tradition, the two senior military officials are still capable and efficient despite being middle-aged.

Knowing the president's efficiency-first nature, the defense minister went straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, President, we are here to discuss your recent decision to halt the [Evil Demon Project] and the [Lokken Tank]."

As if to increase his persuasiveness, the Minister of Defense immediately pulled out several documents from his briefcase, which contained a large amount of data about the Balrog and water tank experiments.

"We hope you'll reconsider this matter. Columbia needs the results of these experiments to become stronger. And please see, judging by the data, these experiments are already close to success. If you halt these plans like this, all the initial investment will go to waste."

The President's mechanical eyes quickly scanned the documents. They were all old data and there was no new progress.

"If you want to settle an economic score with me, you should ask the Ministry of Finance to do it, instead of trying to fool me with an old data."

Because of his impatience, the President's tone was no longer as steady and peaceful as usual. His words were full of sarcasm, which made the Secretary of Defense sweat all over his forehead.

[Project Flame Demon] and [Locke Tank] were experiments that were specifically terminated by the mysterious former civilized human at Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.

Although these two experiments could indeed make Colombia stronger, the president did not want to offend his father's compatriots over such a small matter, but he could not tell the military about it either.

The President knew clearly that in order to quickly expand Colombia into a country capable of unifying the Terra continent, it had not imposed too many restrictions on its military power, so that the Colombian military was slightly out of control during such free expansion, and even gave rise to a huge military security company like Black Steel International.

The radicals in the Ministry of Defense became the main force in assisting various technology companies in Tremont to conduct dangerous experiments, but the President's plan also needed this force, so they turned a blind eye.

But now it's different. The President contacted its creator, Friston, and learned that the previous civilization had other plans.

As a creation of a previous civilization, the President would naturally not go against the creators. So after it stopped its own plan, the military radicals who were originally its arms became a hidden danger.

"Your Excellency, the Minister of Defense didn't mean that. He was just a little anxious."

Compared with the defense minister who is replaced every year, the military regional commander is the real power holder in the Colombian military.

It's just that the president passed a series of laws in the early days of Colombia to curb the disorderly expansion of these people, which forced them to continue to support new senior officials of the Ministry of Defense to gain benefits.

"These experimental data are indeed a bit old, but from a data perspective, they are only one opportunity away from success, and this opportunity has now come to them."

The commander of the Third Military Region took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, and the bluish-black liquid in the bottle surged with his movements.

"Hmm... The Casimir people call this potion an oripathy inhibitor. Just a small injection can significantly alleviate the symptoms of oripathy patients. It's even effective for those who have completely erupted and are about to turn into stone."

If the president were a living person, his face would definitely look very ugly, but unfortunately he is a bird.

As for why it looks so unhappy, it is the ruler of the entire Colombia. The Special Administrative Region knew about the changes in its neighbor Casimir earlier than the military. Guess why it didn't take any action.

The President admitted that he was also interested in this medicine that could have a miraculous effect on mineralogy.

After all, the usage does not need to be too complicated. You only need to send a batch to those infected with severe ore disease and Originium skills. A group of infected people who can enjoy the Originium skills amplified by severe ore disease can produce destructive power comparable to that of elites.

However, the president knew there was something wrong with this outrageous thing without even thinking about it, so he specifically asked the Kristen and Melander Foundation.

As expected, it received the unsurprising intelligence that Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals was founded by pre-civilized humans.

Then the President had no more thoughts. If the Creator passed away, it would still practice the Creator's ideals according to its own will, but the Creators are alive and well now, so it would be better for it as a creation to play a supporting role.

"So, what do you want to say?"

Faced with the president's knowing question, the military commander's expression did not change at all. After all, as a great hero who led Colombia to independence, the president deserves everyone's respect.

"Whether it's Balrog or Loken, the most difficult part of these experiments is stabilizing the rapidly worsening oripathy in the test subjects after their organs are implanted. With this drug, we can completely let those companies conduct experiments without any hesitation..."

The military commander grabbed the medicine bottle in his hand, clenched his fist and said:

"I heard that Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals' landship has docked in Tremont. Perhaps they want to open a branch in Columbia. However, simply purchasing drugs like this won't be enough to meet our needs, and the military's projects can't be controlled by a foreign company, so..."

Although the military district commander did not say it explicitly, his words were already full of the implication of robbery.

The President secretly drew a cross in his mind over the military district commander in front of him, wondering whether he should call someone in to kill this fool who didn't know how to live or die.

But the military district commander mistook the president's silence for hesitation and spoke in a stronger tone.

"Your Excellency, President, I know this approach may negatively impact Colombia's reputation, but compared to the impact on reputation, the benefits it will bring are tangibly substantial. By then, with this drug, we might even be able to defeat the enemy without even fighting!"

It was said very nicely and he even made a proverb from the Yan country.

"You guys go back first. I'll give you an answer to this matter later."

The President did not directly agree with the military district commander's idea, nor did he send anyone in to kill the two idiots directly.

Because the president is not sure what his father's compatriots are going to do in Colombia, what if these two pieces of trash can still be used for recycling?

The president is confident in his dominance in Colombia and believes that these guys cannot cause any trouble, so he plans to leave them alone for a while.

"…All right."

The military commander stood up, and the defense minister followed suit. However, before leaving, the military commander said to the president in a serious tone:

"If all else fails, we can sacrifice one or two of Tremont's technology or pharmaceutical companies and make it look like an accident caused by a corporate conflict. In short, I ask the President to consider this as soon as possible, so that Colombia can move towards a greater future!"

Seeing the military commander who ran away after shouting a slogan, the president suddenly panicked. He thought these guys would not learn from those dogs and donkeys in the East Country and try to overthrow their superiors alone.

Chapter 171 Tremont

Although there was a small incident outside the city.

But Rhodes Island finally completed the quick docking through the green channel provided by the Trimont City Defense Force. The blonde beauty Pelo, wearing a long trench coat, had been waiting eagerly at the docking port.

"Welcome to Tremont. I hope the previous incident didn't dampen your mood."

Christen greeted everyone enthusiastically, her eyes kept glancing at Si Ye, which made Xinteleya beside Si Ye subconsciously alert.

"It's just a minor incident. I was originally planning to test the power of Tremont's city defense cannon."

Si Ye said something that made Kristen sweat profusely.

Regardless of whether the power of the city defense cannon that Si Ye mentioned was tested on himself or in the city of Tremont, this was not what Christen wanted to see.

So Kristen took out the mechanical bird from her backpack and planned to use the president as an explanation.

However, the president was still dealing with the arrogant idiots from the military and ignored Kristen's repeated requests to activate the mechanical bird.

"Is this the president of Colombia?"

The doctor looked at the mechanical bird in Christen's hand curiously, as if he could see something deeper through the body of the mechanical bird.

"This structure...does have a Friston-like quality, but it has evolved in a different way than PRTS."

The PRTS that the doctor mentioned does not refer to the fragments of Prissus' personality hidden in Rhodes Island's computing core, but the AI ​​core used to control Rhodes Island's operations.

This pre-civilization artificial intelligence core can evolve its own self-evolution direction through continuous operation. Obviously, the president and PRTs, who belong to the same type, have taken two completely different paths.

"Where! Where is my father!"

Friston was like a trigger. The president, who had no reaction at all, suddenly jumped up from Christen's hands, stretched out his mechanical wings and looked around constantly.

"Kristen you..."

The President, who had not found anything related to Friston, looked at Kristen with some annoyance, but before he could finish his words, he noticed the doctor who had been staring at him with interest.

"Oh oh oh~"
