From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

The Pan-Human Community's definition of humans only recognizes memes, so the Zeroers, who are transformed from them, are naturally not interested.

"Understood. We respect your customs."

Although he said this, the Zeroer was also a little hesitant.

Their pure energy bodies can change at will, and they usually recruit members by changing into the appearance of the other race to increase their favorability. They never expected to encounter a situation like the Star Sea Empire.

After some quick thinking, the Zeroer's body still differentiated into a human form, but retained the mirror-like appearance of a pure energy body like black glass. Combined with its slender body, it looked like a 3D version of a stickman.

"Is this approach feasible? If it still offends you, I can make further changes."

"So be it."

Si Ye looked at the funny appearance of the Zeroer and raised his eyebrows. Why did he feel that there was a hint of flattery and ingratiation in the Zeroer's words?

"Tell me, you sent an invitation to discuss with the Empire. What is it about?"

"Then let me be frank. You and your empire should also be aware that this universe is slowly dying."

The Zeroer's slender arms swung, and a series of ripples and chords appeared in the air. This was it showing Si Ye the various coordinate systems and parameters of the Three-Body Universe. The universe was rushing towards complete disorder.

"One of the purposes of the Null Sector Alliance is to prevent the complete death of the universe. We are committed to causing the dimension to fall and restart the universe before it transitions from a closed model to an open one."

"This should have nothing to do with us. Whether it's the death of the universe or the fall of the dimension, it will not have any impact on the Star Sea Empire."

"It's like this. You've mastered the power of super-light, surpassing this broken universe. This makes everyone in the Null Sector Alliance very envious."

Having mastered superluminal speed and the means to resist dimensional fall, whether the universe is completely heat-dead or restarted, it has no effect on the Star Sea Empire. In this universe, the Star Sea Empire is a well-deserved god.

"We don't dare to expect faster-than-light speeds. The purpose of this meeting is simply to reach a consensus with you on the Null Sector Alliance's plan to restart the universe."

"That's it..."

Although Si Ye guessed that the Zeroer would be sensible after seeing the Empire's methods, he really didn't expect that the other party would be so humble.

"So what is the consensus you want to reach?"

"Although both the future of heat death and the future of dimensional reduction are still far away on a cosmic scale, laying out the Black Domain and inducing two-dimensional expansion will also take a long time. The Nullifier Alliance hopes that your civilization will show some mercy and not interfere too much with the emergence of the Black Domain and the two-dimensional universe."

The Zeroer representative paused, as if thinking about what kind of chips to offer to make Si Ye agree to this consensus, but considering the combat effectiveness of the FTL civilization, it finally chose to go all in.

"If we can reach a consensus on this matter, the Zero Sector Alliance is willing to meet all your requirements."

"everything?"

Si Ye was also thinking that the Zero Sector Alliance was a collection of cutting-edge civilizations in this universe, but precisely because they were cutting-edge civilizations, on the road to the same goal in science and technology, their cutting-edge technology was completely a monkey version or a compromised version of the Empire's cutting-edge technology.

Create a small universe? The Empire holds the power to create the universe, and does not need to input matter from the outside universe to create a new universe. However, Si Ye feels that this behavior will add pressure to the world, so he has never used it.

Regular weapons? The Empire can even adjust the speed of light, rounding pi to an integer, and thus directly collapse the universe in disguise.

However, because the world is different and the battlefield environment is different, the demand for weapons is also different. Small gadgets such as light particle strikes and two-dimensional foils seem interesting because the Empire has not conducted similar research before.

"Give a copy of your technological reserves to the Empire. And designate a 5000-light-year area around the solar system as a restricted zone. Until you are fully prepared to restart the universe, you are forbidden from entering this area and spreading the Black Zone."

“…That’s it?”

This condition was somewhat beyond the Zeroer's expectations. It was not too harsh, but too simple. It had thought that the Star Sea Empire would be more aggressive.

What the Zero Alliance didn't know was that the Star Sea Empire would indeed be aggressive and even ruthless towards the ignorant aliens, but the Zero Alliance was a little too sensible, and there was really no more value to be squeezed out of them, so Si Ye was naturally too lazy to waste his energy on them.

"What? Not happy?"

"No, no, no, you are truly a kind and magnanimous ruler. We will deliver what you want to you as soon as possible."

The Zero Return representative quickly denied it, and under the dim starlight of this construction universe, the two sides symbolically shook hands and reached such a not-so-decent non-aggression agreement.

...

Chapter 286 The Three-Body Problem

After reaching an agreement with the Zero Alliance, life became a bit boring.

Although Si Ye did what he said, starting from the periphery of the solar system, he began to name those alien civilizations that were cowards one by one.

The order of cleaning is roughly as follows: not using the microphone < forced to use the microphone < voluntarily using the microphone,

The dark forest was burned clean by the flame called psychic energy, turning into a battle royale.

But if you name names too many times, it will become boring. These civilizations in the Three-Body Universe are really silent and can't even put together an interesting quarrel, which makes Si Ye very disappointed.

However, the main purpose of coming to this world has been exceeded.

He fished out a large number of aliens that could serve as firewood for the synaptic condenser, and had a fairly successful date with Shu, which led to a breakthrough in their relationship. He collected half of Tian Yousishi and fished out an additional 150 million starship humans. Because of the special world structure, he even harvested an extra small broken ball, which strengthened the pan-human community. It can be said that he had a great harvest.

It would be a waste of talent to have a main battle fleet like the Fourth Psionic Fleet stay in this universe chopping wood. Therefore, the Overlord [Speaker's End] will dock in the Trisolaran Universe for a short period of time to build a new fleet, tentatively numbered 13, to gradually take over the jurisdiction of the Fourth Fleet in the future.

"I'm going home. I'm going home."

Although a batch of planetary engines have been updated for the little broken ball, a planet is still a planet. If it moves any faster, it will disintegrate. It is also difficult to strengthen the earth without causing large-scale damage to the ecological environment. Therefore, it will take some time for the little broken ball to reach the gate in the Kuiper belt.

Using the excuse of escorting the technological reserves sent by the Zeroers, the somewhat bored Si Ye took Shu back to the Imperial Space Domain first.

"Oh my, what a coincidence."

The voice that Nian deliberately raised in his throat made people feel creepy. As soon as Si Ye and Shu left the relay station, they ran into Nian, who was holding a folding fan and dressed like a top Hollywood director.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really succeeded."

Before Si Ye could speak, Nian's eyes were already rolling around between Si Ye and Shu. As a top director who was good at observing people's words and expressions, she could see at a glance that something was wrong between her sister and Si Ye.

"Sister Shu, how is Si Ye? Are you satisfied?"

"What do you mean by satisfied? You are talking nonsense again..."

Shu, who already felt guilty for competing with her sister for a man, suddenly panicked. Nian's face was filled with smiles when he saw Shu's attempt to cover up his mistake.

Normally, Shu was dignified and imposing, but this expression of panic and disorientation was a rare sight. Nian was about to tease him further, but Si Ye pulled him into his arms.

"Know when to stop. Aren't you afraid that Shu will come to his senses and teach you a lesson?"

Si Ye stopped Nian from his suicidal behavior. Shu was just caught off guard by the sudden attack, and the giant beast's ethics would not really care about this.

Based on Si Ye's understanding of Shu, if Nian took the opportunity to do something excessive, by the time Shu came to his senses, Si Ye would most likely be able to go to the ecological garden to dig Nian up.

"You're clearly not a dragon, but you really fit my stereotype of a dragon. Could it be that your anthropomorphism is subtly changing your personality?"

Leaning in Si Ye's arms, Nian talked and laughed, obviously not taking what happened between Si Ye and Shu seriously.

"It seems like my sisters are going to suffer at your hands. But no matter what, you must take me with you when you bully Xi."

"You guys talk first, I'll go..."

On weekdays, Si Ye and Shu get along very well, but in front of her younger sister, Shu, who wants to maintain her elder sister's dignity, naturally feels a little restrained and wants to take the lead.

The distorted shadow fell at Shu's feet, distorting her intention to step away. She took a step and ended up in Si Ye's arms, allowing Si Ye to embrace her from both sides.

"What are you doing? You are all my wings, why are you shy?"

"You're so proud of yourself, I can't do anything about you."

Shu, who was being held in the cage, struggled to break free but to no avail. Looking at his sister who was making faces at him in Si Ye's arms on the other side, he could only sigh helplessly and pinch Si Ye hard.

"That's right, you're getting carried away!"

Nian was there to watch the fun and didn't mind getting involved. At one point, he switched sides and started helping Shu to denounce Si Ye, but was hit on the head by Shu's slender dragon tail.

"Flirting sister, I will settle your account with you later."

"Hey, Sister Shu, you can't do this. I'm reporting it, I'm exposing it. Si Ye still wants to do something to your sister... mmmmm..."

While laughing and joking, Si Ye became the target of the two sisters' common condemnation. Not to mention the Shuanglonghui that Si Ye ambitiously wanted to pursue, Nian and Shu suddenly had their own excuses. In a moment, not a single dragon was left, and they all ran away.

"Your Majesty, welcome back."

A soft voice sounded from behind the slightly depressed Si Ye, and Hui Feng appeared at the right time.

"Grey Wind, you scared my dragon away. You need to make it up to me."

Si Ye leaned on Hui Feng and shamelessly blamed Hui Feng for the escape of the two sisters from the Sui family.

"Oh? Compensation? No problem. Come on, follow me into the house."

"Ahem, let's get down to business first."

With his arm grabbed by the grey wind and a wave of nanometal surging under his feet again, Si Ye, whose waist subconsciously sounded the alarm, immediately stood up straight, his expression returning to its usual seriousness.

"Humph~"

Huifeng smiled sweetly and helped Si Ye straighten his wrinkled coat.

"The researchers at the Academy of Military Sciences are applying for a large budget. They believe that light particle strikes can become another planet-destroying weapon mounted on small warships, following the miniaturized neutron annulment."

"I know that. They want to replace the Gigacannon bullets with light particles, but they don't consider whether the energy pipeline can withstand it."

Si Ye had gotten used to reviewing a large number of documents every time he came back. He flipped through the data panel handed to him by Huifeng and complained about the crazy ideas of the Academy of Military Sciences.

"But they still need funding. Miniaturized star-destroying weapons, weapons that define physical constants, and gates capable of accommodating the passage of Falling Star Spears need to be put on the agenda immediately. Sending a fleet to destroy an enemy system might be acceptable in a crushing situation, but the risk is too high if they encounter an equally powerful opponent. The Empire desperately needs a beyond-visual-range strike weapon that can be deployed with the army."

"Order recorded."

Gray Wind nodded and continued:

"The Trans-World Portal Project is planning to build a new batch of ten portals. When the time comes, Your Majesty, will you personally preside over the opening ceremony?"

"Oh? Ten consecutive draws? Of course, someone as lucky as me can do that. Be sure to call me when the new door is built."

Si Ye was still very confident in his luck. After all, he could use the shuttle to randomly travel to the Terra continent and get close to the beast-eared girl. With these ten cross-world portals, there must be some beautiful worlds like Azure O Line, Kanata O Girls, and even NieR: Age of Mechanical Engineering.

"Hmm...command records..."

Gray Wind tilted his head and looked around.

"Then there are zero remaining tasks, Your Majesty. You have been working so hard in the other world for so long, it's time to rest."

"Hmm, huh? Hmm???"

The familiar corridor, the familiar nano-metal wave, Si Ye was horrified.

"Hey, Gray Wind, don't I want compensation?"

"Your Majesty Si Ye, you don't want compensation~ But I do~"

The metal wave sweeping across the corridor obscured the figures of Si Ye and Hui Feng. The synth in charge of this area looked out the viewing window at the corridor swept clean by the nanometal.
