From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

...

"Si Ye."

Shu Luoluo followed the waiter from the back door into the banquet hall. Although she looked dignified, one could still see a hint of excitement on her face.

"Well, the agricultural technology of the Xinghai Empire is quite acceptable."

“Powerful, but…”

When this was mentioned, the excitement on Shu's face became even more intense. He nodded, then shook his head, with a hint of regret hidden in his tone.

"Dahuang doesn't have the conditions to use those technical equipment. If we don't have those equipment and only rely on Dahuang's level of cultivation, even if we use the same seeds and cultivate them carefully, it will be difficult to achieve even one percent of the original efficiency."

Putting aside those high-tech control and management equipment, even the simplest hydroponic chamber requires a huge amount of energy.

Shu also specifically asked the AI ​​responsible for managing the hydroponic cabin. After some dazzling conversions, she came up with a power consumption data that made her eyes dizzy.

Although the output of a hydroponic chamber in one settlement phase can eliminate hunger on the Terra continent, even if all the energy supplies of Yan Country's mobile cities are gathered together and counted with Ursus's, it may not be able to power one-tenth of the hydroponic chambers.

It can only be said that the technology of the Star Sea Empire is very powerful, but the Terra continent currently does not have the soil for these technologies and equipment to be implemented.

"There are some monkey versions. I placed a batch in Kazdel, but their efficiency is not much different from the original ones in Dahuang City. I did not provide them to Yan Country at the time."

Si Ye was talking about the agricultural modules that served as food bowls for the scavengers. After all, the scavengers had an irresistible nature of devouring life and vitality, and they needed to constantly seize vitality to replenish themselves, otherwise they would fall into decline and extinction.

They were assigned to manage the crops. On weekdays, the scavengers took care of the farm, eating the vitality of weeds and pests in the fields as snacks. After the crops were ripe and harvested, they drained the remaining vitality to feed themselves and returned nutrients to the soil. They were perfect farmer's jinchūriki.

"If necessary, I can send a batch to Dahuang as well. The use of farm modules is a little simpler than conventional planting methods, and perhaps it will make things easier for the agricultural master."

"Then I must first thank the benevolent Supreme True Dragon, the great Majesty Siye, on behalf of the people of Dahuang and Yan Nation."

Shu's eyes smiled, as if there was a flickering light floating in them. She took the initiative to grab the wine glass on the table and invited Si Ye to drink together.

Raising the glass to gesture, Shu slightly raised his head and savored the clear wine in the glass, revealing his fair neck, which immediately attracted Si Ye's attention.

Following her neck down, Si Ye saw her delicate collarbone, and then his gaze went down again...

"Hey…"

Si Ye suddenly let out an inexplicable sigh. Shu must have distributed all the abundance to her sisters and Dahuang, which made her so poor.

stare!

As if sensing the meaning behind Si Ye's sigh, Shu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Perhaps his sore spot was touched, Shu, who had been so gentle and polite just now, suddenly looked like he wanted to plant Si Ye back into the soil.

But soon, Shu seemed to have thought of something, as if he had reconciled with himself, and looked at Si Ye with some anger.

"Although time has passed in a flash, I am still a woman after all. Si Ye, your gaze is still a little too intense."

"Ahem, I can actually help."

Si Ye's tone was a little playful.

Help? What help? How can I help?

For Shu, who controls cause and effect, her power always becomes more harmful at critical moments.

Si Ye's words became the 'cause', directly causing her power to be activated uncontrollably, and then she saw the 'result' she subconsciously sought.

Shu's face suddenly turned red. He covered Si Ye's face with his wine glass and tried hard to suppress the emotions surging in his mind.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was a little awkward for a moment, but fortunately, Nian who came in from the main entrance eased the awkwardness.

“Oh my, that’s so scary!!!”

Nian rushed into the inner hall as if she was escaping. Obviously, she came in through the main gate and was treated warmly by the senior officials in the outer hall because of her status as an imperial concubine.

For someone like Nian who was used to the casual lifestyle of street urchins, the overly serious atmosphere in the outer hall made her feel uncomfortable.

He tried hard to maintain his composure and not embarrass Si Ye, but after just a few minutes' journey, Nian felt like he was about to burn out.

“…Why is no one talking?”

Seeing that no one responded to him, Nian turned his gaze to the only two people in the inner hall.

Si Ye still looked the same, nothing unusual, but why was Sister Shu blushing?

"Si Ye, you didn't do anything to my sister, did you?"

Nian ran to the middle of Shu and Siye with a funny smile on his face.

"I didn't. Don't accuse a good person."

"You are a good person, I don't know who..."

Nian hit Si Ye and suddenly blurted out some fierce words that would definitely make people angry. It can only be said that with Si Ye's hard work in reclaiming the land, Nian, who once had high attack and low defense, gradually became invincible.

Si Ye remained unmoved, but Shu, already blushing, heard Nian's lewd words. Before she could even use her sisterly authority to teach her a lesson, she was once again tricked by the power of karma, almost burying her head in her chest...

Oh, Shushu has no breasts...

Chapter 223 Welcome Banquet (Part )

Fortunately, the arrival of the doctor and Friston made Shu and Nian return to normal.

Although the former civilization duo also came in through the main gate, for the scientific research leaders of the former civilization, dealing with this level of social etiquette was as easy as eating and drinking.

Perhaps because there were also researchers from the Imperial Academy of Sciences attending the banquet, the news that the Doctor and Friston possessed high-level scientific research capabilities spread like wildfire among the top officials of the Empire, making the calls to welcome the two even more enthusiastic.

"Hmm... It gives me a sense of being dragged back in time to a social gathering to solicit funds. It feels quite subtle..."

Friston sat down, his tone somewhat subtle. It was obvious that he was not born with knowledge. He had also been troubled by funding. He also worked hard step by step from the position of a junior researcher to achieve his current achievements.

“…Why don’t I have this experience?”

The doctor looked at Friston with some confusion.

"That's because you're a genius, a prophet,"

Friston still couldn't forget the first time he met the Doctor. This recognized top genius of the former civilization was involved in several doomsday plans launched by the former civilization for survival, and he was in a dominant position in all of them.

This forced Friston, who was nearly 50 years old at the time, to admit that there are real differences between people.

"And those girls probably wouldn't dare approach you casually, because Precious is always following you around. She's so protective of her food."

When talking about the past, Friston's words were full of nostalgia and sighs. The doctor shook his body a little embarrassedly and began to change the subject.

"Si Ye, is it just us? Where are Ms. Kristen and the others?"

"The big golden retriever is already drunk, and Saria is currently trying to calm him down. These two can't come, but Muirseth said she would come."

Christen's long-suppressed emotions erupted, and coupled with the alcohol, it can only be said that this usually mature and dignified urban beauty was only a few steps away from becoming a house-wrecking Husky.

Saria probably didn't expect that the friend she had known since childhood had this side of her. She was trying hard to comfort the noisy Christine.

"...A small animal drinking alcohol? This is really..."

Listening to Friston mumbling beside him, the doctor felt helpless.

"Friston, even though you call the Terrans little animals, you can't really treat them as animals..."

"I'm just used to it. You know, Prophet? Before I entered the stasis chamber, these little animals were just jumping around in the ecological park. When I opened my eyes again, the little animals were so curious that they asked me about stories of previous civilizations."

Friston tried to explain.

This former civilization scientist seemed to have a habit of observing the habits of living things. On Rhodes Island, Friston had taken Amiya and other children to the wasteland several times to catch Originium insects to raise, and asked the children to write observation diaries, although the final result was usually a thick stack of notes written by himself.

Oh, they also caught sandworms in Colombia, but before they could start observing them, the doctor grilled them into special barbecue.

"I just took it seriously. Yeah, starfish meat that isn't canned is pretty good too."

The doctor accurately found the starfish that was carefully cooked by the chef on the table, quickly picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, with a tone of enjoyment in his voice.

"Doctor, now that you've come to the Star Sea Empire, you should know the origins of the starfish."

Si Ye mentioned this deliberately, as if he wanted to make the doctor, who had been consuming his canned starfish reserves, look bad.

"Hmm? I saw this when I was browsing the Chronicles of the Star Empire at the Academy of Sciences."

The doctor continued chewing happily, without showing any difficulty, as if the fact that the starfish was once an intelligent creature was not a problem at all.

"Starfish don't have human form, so why would they have any psychological burden? If we don't eat them simply because they are intelligent, and if there is no human interference, natural evolution will make them smarter and smarter, then we won't eat anything in the end."

"That makes sense,"

Si Ye gave Dr. Si a thumbs up and turned to ask about the business.

"Regarding the extended hibernation of the Preserver Project, have you calculated the specific supplies? Remember to give the list to Grey Wind, and she will allocate the corresponding resources for you."

After hearing Si Ye's words, Hui Feng, who had been sitting next to Si Ye like a statue and handling government affairs remotely, nodded to everyone and then fell into a daze again.

"Well... we may need to spend more time in the lab. Although we've borrowed the Academy's supercomputer for simulations, we've discovered that this extended hibernation period is far too long. If we follow the previous civilization's preparedness plan, there's still a chance of problems."

When this was mentioned, Friston quickly said that after all, his wife and daughter were sleeping in the sarcophagus, and he didn't want to take any risks, but wanted a plan with a high success rate.

"It doesn't actually take much in the way of resources, but it does take time, and... we need to reconsider a new strategy for extended hibernation."

"It's okay. There's a time regression effect between worlds. As long as Terra doesn't establish a stable connection with the Imperial Universe, even if you stay here for a few years, only a few months will have passed when you return to Terra."

It was Huifeng who told Si Ye about this situation.

This situation where the speed of time flows differently between worlds can only be alleviated when there is a stable observer.

Although Si Ye was in Terra Continent before, he still maintained contact with the Star Sea Empire, so the time of Terra Continent was synchronized with that of the Star Sea Empire.

Now that Si Ye is back and Terra has lost its observer, the flow of time between the two worlds has naturally begun to decline again, so the doctor and his team have plenty of time and there is no need to rush.

"The planet prepared for you is also ready. I can have someone take you there later. It's a 20-grid Gaia, brand new."

"...Si Ye, thank you,"

The revival of the former civilization is right before our eyes, and the doctor's tone is filled with gratitude.

"It's a small matter. Just come to the Academy of Sciences to help out next time."

Exchanging a ball for a scientist who is level 9 and has a score of 10 in some subjects is a very profitable deal no matter how you look at it. If this were put into a game, players could trade it until the game overflows with data.

"Hi, Miu Miu is late, sorry~"

Muirseth followed the servants into the banquet hall from the back door and greeted everyone enthusiastically.

"Muirseth, did you fall into the wine vat?"
