From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

Synth... no, Friston stroked his face, his tone filled with indescribable emotion.

"Excellent technique... Perhaps I should make myself a few decades younger? Standing here with you, an old man like me seems a bit out of place."

The positronic brain's capacity for personality models is clearly greater than that of the Stasis Institute's computing core. Some of the emotions that Friston discarded in order to save computing power are vividly displayed in the synthetic human body.

"You've secretly grown a lot bigger. My impression of Friston is that he's not this tall."

The doctor looked at Friston in front of him, and although his tone was a little teasing, he still opened his arms to greet the other party.

"But I still have to say, welcome back, Friston... ahem."

It was a very touching scene. Friston, who failed to master the human power of the synthetic man, made the doctor cough continuously.

"Oh, I'm sorry... Prophet, it seems I still need some time to get used to this new body."

Friston was apologizing to the doctor when he suddenly felt something jumping at his feet. He looked down and saw the president struggling in the dust.

“…Mr. President, why don’t you fly?”

The doctor's coughing became more intense. Fortunately, Friston did not dwell on it. Instead, he leaned over and picked up the president so that he could stand on his shoulders.

"Father! Father!"

Standing on Friston's shoulders, the president's system seemed to be overloaded, and he stammered for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"What will happen to the Preserver Project without you, a half-AI?"

The computing core of the Stasis Institute has entered a low-power standby state. The surrounding lighting and barriers have dimmed a lot. Along with the loose soil deposited on the ground, a sense of desolation comes to the fore.

"…If we just keep on with the current situation, it won't matter whether I'm there or not."

Friston glanced at the densely packed sarcophagi around him, where his wife and daughter were sleeping.

"The computing core will automatically balance energy output, locking the dormant within the sarcophagus in place. However, the longer it remains locked, the greater the cost of reactivating the cells."

"Energy and resources are not a problem. Come back to the Star Empire with me in a few days. I'll plan the relocation of the Stasis Institute and give me a list of the resources you'll need."

The Empire's Dyson spheres, Dyson clouds, and level 3 and 4 singularities are not just for show; resources and energy have never been a problem.

The only problem is the transportation of the sarcophagus. This dormant device requires a stable operating environment, so the space compression warehouse certainly cannot be used.

Using only the cargo hold, Si Ye's shuttle would have to make countless trips to move all the tens of thousands of sarcophagi here, so it might be more convenient to go back to the Star Sea Empire to check on the progress of the cross-world development plan.

According to the schedule given by Grey Wind and the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the first stage is the shuttle, and the second stage should be a stable directional cross-world portal. If there can be a stable portal on the Terra continent, the difficulty of relocating the Stasis Institute will naturally be solved.

"If you don't need Dad to guard this place anymore, why don't you go to Columbia for a walk?"

Upon hearing that Friston could leave, the President, who had been stuck and overloaded, returned to normal and asked Friston to go to Columbia like a child showing his achievements to his parents.

"Speaking of this..."

Friston suddenly turned his head to look at the President, his expression showing a hint of guilt.

"Mr. President, as you just heard, the ownership of this planet has been traded. I believe Mr. Si Ye is likely planning to unify the entire Terra continent. Can your Columbia also help him?"

"Although this may seem a bit excessive to ask, I will try to compensate you later."

"What's mine is my father's! How can I talk about compensation?"

The president's head nods like a pile driver. It looks like an owl, but at this speed, it's probably enough to disguise itself as a woodpecker.

"Master Si Ye, if you need Columbia to do anything, just tell me!"

As expected, with the direct relationship between Friston and the President, Colombia is actually the easiest country to start with.

Si Ye nodded and said, "Then I will be respectfully accepting your offer. I will send you the materials and reform regulations later. However, you, the President, will still be needed to manage this country. Don't worry, it won't hinder you from following Friston."

The President readily agreed. Columbia was his child, and it was Friston's child. Now everyone had a bright future.

"Oh my, I thought it would be enough to meet you, the prophet, but I didn't expect to get a body as well."

The matter at the Stagnation Station came to an end, and everyone began to leave the Stagnation Station and return along the original route.

Friston rubbed the President's mechanical bird head and walked in the dim metal corridor, his tone full of emotion.

"What should we call this…seeing the light of day again?"

"Friston, you've become much more talkative than before."

After a 40-kilometer round trip, the doctor's physical strength has almost reached its limit. Kal'tsit can only let M3 transform back into its original crystal monster form and carry him forward.

"Also, the phrase 'see the light of day again'...isn't very auspicious."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

When the afternoon sun shone on Friston's bionic skin, he subconsciously opened his arms, as if wanting to embrace the sun in his arms.

"Station, Level 3 security alert mode,"

As Friston's order was given, the ground seemed to tremble, and the stagnation 3000 meters underground stretched out a thicker curtain, concealing itself deeply.

"Actually, I can ask Rhodes Island to come here and build a defense system later."

The Stasis Station has become the most successful and important facility of the current pre-civilization, and the doctor is already considering the possibility of Rhodes Island being stationed in Columbia for a long time.

"The Creator is right, Father. I can send troops to designate a restricted area within 30 kilometers, or even 50 kilometers, and send in the army..."

Thinking of the disobedient troops under his command, the President's words were stuck.

"No, Stasis is just as concealed and defensive as any other large-scale project. I won't risk my wife and daughter."

As if sensing something, Friston touched his abdomen.

"Is this body too bionic? I actually feel hungry?"

"…This is a spy-type synth, so it's naturally realistic enough."

After all, it is for a half-AI who was once human, so Si Ye naturally has to choose the synthetic human model that is closest to humans. Otherwise, problems such as consciousness tearing or cognitive confusion will arise, which will be even more troublesome.

Although he said that, on the way back, Si Ye began to regret his decision.

The Doctor shares the can of starfish with Friston.

Starfish canned food die-hard fans +1

Siye's canned starfish stocks were reduced again.

Gan!

Chapter 182 Hol Haiya's Little Gift

"Mr. Si Ye, Kristen, thank God you are finally back."

Everyone returned to the Rhine Life headquarters in Tremont. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Parvis came over with a nervous look on his face.

"Officers from the Tremont Police Department and Hayden Pharmaceuticals came to our door, claiming that Rhine Life Sciences had attacked their laboratory and stolen experimental data and results. Director Saria and her men are currently in a standoff with them."

"'Extremely pure Colombian swear words,'"

The President, who had just gotten out of the car with Friston, let out a sharp bang.

The President was talking to Friston in the car about the beautiful scenery and culture of Colombia, and now this is happening?

"Who! Who is so bold as to slander Tremont Pillar Technology Company..."

“…Ah? Your Excellency the President.”

Parvez was startled by the president's sudden words.

But as a Colombian, everyone has heard of the legend of the President. After the shock, Parvez naturally recognized the identity of the President.

Parvez actually showed an embarrassed expression at the president's speech. Following his gaze, he saw his student Hemer playing with a little Safra girl and a little Filin girl in a small garden in the distance, looking at a loss.

"...Their accusations aren't actually slander... A lady named Holhaiya brought the two children back. Among them, Safra was the main experimenter for the [Evil Demon Project] that Rhine Life and Haydn Pharmaceuticals collaborated on a while ago..."

"...They dared to continue the human experiments I stopped! They are truly audacious lunatics!"

The President seemed to be accustomed to this kind of turn. He changed the topic sharply and quickly found the direction of attack, looking righteous and upright in the criminal law.

But unfortunately, the President couldn't fly at all now. After making the gesture, it felt a little embarrassed standing on Friston's shoulders.

"Haha, let's go. I'll go with you."

The understanding Friston laughed and gestured for the President to lead the way.

So the President and Friston left with full of energy.

"Don't worry, it won't affect you. By the way, this is the person who masters the gene chimera technology. You can call him Doctor."

Si Ye comforted Parvis, and at the same time, he did not forget his promise to him, and introduced him to the doctor who was watching the show on the side.

With a tall support, Parvis felt much more at ease. Out of a researcher's curiosity and yearning for advanced technology, he hurried forward to greet the doctor.

Si Ye walked into the small garden and looked at the two little girls, one still and one moving.

The blonde and orange-eyed little Saraf girl was more active because Si Ye stopped the [Flame Demon Plan] at the critical moment.

Ifrit, the little Charmander whose race was transformed into a Sarkaz by combining the fragments of the Fire Demon in the original plot, is now just an ordinary child with a slightly severe oripathy.

Next to Ifrit, the slightly introverted white-haired Filin noticed Si Ye's gaze on them.

She opened her emerald green eyes, hiding behind Hemer and carefully looking at the surrounding environment.

Rosemary the kitten.

The Locke water tank experiment, like the Balrog Project, was a project that Si Ye specifically terminated at the time.

Although it seems that these Colombian companies have some ulterior motives because they have military support.

But in the end, they only dared to suspend the experiment instead of terminating it, which prevented the tragedy that should have befallen Rosemary from happening.

"Hello you all."

Si Ye casually took out a handful of candy and tried to get closer to Ifrit and Rosemary.

"Ah, Mr. Si Ye."

Hemer, who had no experience in taking care of children, was busy and sweating. When she saw someone coming to help, she subconsciously nodded in gratitude, but she didn't expect to see Si Ye, the new boss of Rhine Life.

Nodding to Hemer, Si Ye spread out his hand, showing the candy in his palm.

"You...are you in cahoots with those people in white coats? I won't fall for your tricks. Is there some nasty medicine in this candy again?"
