Him and their stars

On the morning of August 23, 832 in the Galactic Common Calendar, in the extreme star sector of the Holy Galactic Empire closest to the edge of the galactic center, there was an inhabitable planet named Sarna. There were more than twenty people in a group, composed of multiple races. The team formed is walking in the open wilderness of this border planet.

Each of them was dressed lightly for traveling in the wild. Almost everyone was carrying a large travel bag, but they did not choose to ride in a large vehicle-type vehicle. Many people rode a camel-sized mechanical vehicle that relied on four mechanical legs to travel all over the terrain. It didn't look like they were riding in a car, but more like riding a horse. The rest of the people even simply rode "horses" - which were actually local camel beasts called horned camels. They were docile and capable of carrying heavy loads, making them the best "transportation".

Sanjia Nairu, the director of the Planetary Administration, rode a horned camel at the front of the team to lead the way.

This planetary administrator is a short Razakai, only as tall as a human chest, with a short stature. In addition, he wears a field outfit that facilitates movement and is huddled between the humps of a huge horned camel. He does not look like a human being in any way. The highest administrator of the planet, but more like a local guide hired by this team.

"Miss Berenkeist, this is the Great Pulse Plain. There is no such beautiful place in the entire Sarna planet, ah no, in the entire Extreme Star Territory."

Nailu paused for a moment, then carefully suggested with a flattering smile: "It's already noon, do you want to take a rest?"

The chief trade representative from the Free Galaxy Alliance, Miss Amida Senge Berenkeist, nodded slightly. She rode a camel-sized mechanical walking beast and stood on the hill, looking at the endless wilderness below the mountain.

Those blue eyes, which were almost the same color as the sky, looked beyond the horizon, as if they were yearning for some beautiful mystery.

"Then let's take a rest." Yamida withdrew her gaze and followed her lead.

The Razakai administrator was not lying. Under the hill where we are, there is a vast plain that extends far beyond everyone's sight. The lush green grassland is dotted with colorful wild flowers, like stars in the sky. Clear streams meander through the wilderness like silver ribbons.

The community of wild animals lazily walked on the grass, idly gnawing on the endless vegetation, and looked as if they had not been beaten by society.

Everyone got off their "mounts", laid out stalls on the mountain, took out outdoor cooking utensils and started preparing lunch.

Chief Nailu moved around among the crowd, giving each member of the alliance business expedition team local local specialties from Sarna. It was obviously lunch time, but he felt even busier than when he was in the administrative office accepting an investigation from the superior government of the district.

Why am I the only one busy? Only then did Nairu realize that the few people he had brought with him had actually sat down and were chatting directly while cooking.

These Sarna locals were naturally talking about the God of War Festival that had just ended, and now the whole universe was talking about it.

"This is great. The Star Knights have been greatly humiliated. The chosen champion has been snatched away by an Earthling. Aren't the Earthlings even more arrogant now? How can the Empire continue to let it go? ? We should find an opportunity to let our Titans overwhelm us and let the people on earth see who is the master of the universe!"

"So what if we push them over? They won't give me a salary increase anyway. And if there really is a war, the Generalissimo's Office will ask us to collect the money at a low price. Then we will offend the citizens again."

"Hey, this is for the sake of imperial politics, can't you be a little spirited? Do you want to be a non-citizen?"

"Because you were sent by the sector government to take a temporary position! You will be promoted in two years, but I have been working in Sarna all my life, and I am a fellow villager. Yes, you are about to be promoted anyway. I offend you. People's business is done when it's done. How about you do the tax collection in Gumeiya settlements and exiled labor camps in the future?"

"you this……"

"Haha, stop arguing. Do you think we have to fight the earth to expropriate our Laisu Qi?"

"What news did you hear again?"

"Hehehe, we are about to have a big event here. If nothing else, the Shengting Star District is right next to our star district, and the war has already started!"

"It's already started. Hahaha, crush those traitors... Ah, sir, I, your lunch has been prepared. I have arranged it for the guests. I really arranged it. Coast Hotel from I have been preparing the dinner meals since yesterday! I personally watched it, no! Don’t jump up and hit me on the knee! I’m sorry!”

After Chief Nairu fully trained his bunch of useless bureaucrats, he finished his meal with great enthusiasm. Then he quickly regained his smile and continued on the road with the alliance team.

"If you really want to invest in building a resort and health center here, this is indeed the most suitable place. The scenery is indeed beautiful, but the geological structure here is the most stable on the entire Sarna planet." Nailu added He introduced it enthusiastically, but his heart was filled with a bitter taste. If the Sarna planet had not had the most troublesome planet attribute of "unstable geological structure", it would not have been possible for the planet to have a population of less than 50 million even after more than a thousand years of development.

He had been the administrator for fifteen years, and his only political achievement was to persuade the sector government to build a floating fleet city on the sea. This finally gave the planet a reliable commercial center.

No way, compared to the unstable continental geological structure, the sea surface and coastal areas of this planet are actually much more stable. Today, 99 percent of the population lives on the mainland coast and some island towns.

But when the ship group city was completed, business representatives from the alliance actually came here, and they were actually preparing to come for a business inspection.

The leader is the official trade representative representing the alliance, Miss Yamada Senge Belenkeist. Even a rural magistrate like Mr. Nairu has heard of it.

Isn't this equivalent to being the princess of the alliance?

We must devote all our energy to accompany them! You know, the little drops of water leaking from between her fingers are the sweet rain of this rural planet!

"However, since it is the most stable plain on the continent of this planet, with fertile land, beautiful scenery, and a very suitable climate, why has no one settled here?" asked a capable attaché who came with the eldest daughter of the Bei family.

Chief Nairu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "In fact, it existed before. This planet used to be the fiefdom of a hereditary Earl. The Earl's city hall and government office were built here."

Amida turned her head and looked at Nairu with a smile, seeming to be very interested in what the other person said.

"At that time, this place was not called the Great Pulse Plain, but the Fengyu Highlands." Chief Nairu added: "Later, there was a period of time, well, it was probably what it was like two hundred years ago, right? The sky above this plain There was a thunderstorm that lasted for a month. The gentlemen from the Wisdom Palace said that some kind of energy quantum entanglement had occurred. I didn’t quite understand..."

Yamida chuckled in her heart, thinking about what kind of quantum entanglement it was, and it didn't even last two hundred years. According to her deduction, a battle between top psykers should have occurred.

"In short, electromagnetic waves invisible to the naked eye are formed on the Great Plains. They seem to have no impact on the human body, but circuit machines will be affected. Even tap water and generators often malfunction, and communications with the outside world are often terminated. Citizens cannot live anymore. After moving away, the cities in the Great Plains were abandoned. The Fengyu Highlands were called the Great Pulse Plains." Chief Nairu sighed, and then said quickly: "However, this really only happened two hundred years ago. . The quantum entanglement on the plain is weakening, and the impact on mechanical instruments is getting smaller and smaller. Some time ago, the garrison sent people to build a deep space observation station here, and it has been running for several months without any problems. Heaven The gentlemen from the Institute of Engineering also came to see it and said that the energy had almost dissipated."

Yamida looked at the commander who was eager to explain, and smiled: "You can completely hide this."

Chief Nailu smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself that even the locals knew about this kind of thing, how could they hide it? But he said: "If you are willing to come and inspect the local investment environment, you are Sarna's most distinguished guest. We will never deceive our guests."

The trade representative showed a suitably moved expression and said with a smile: "Let's move on."

Seeing that the administrative director was worrying about gains and losses, Miss Bei's secretary smiled and added: "Don't worry, Chief Nailu. What we are going to build is just a resort center, without too many sophisticated instruments. A little energy entanglement, as long as it causes The impact is within control, and I am happy to choose a site here. As for the problem of unstable geology that prevents the use of large vehicles... We can also invest in the construction of floating light rails, so that the resort center can be used as the core to connect coastal areas Several cities in the country are connected.”

If Yamida's emotion is a refined business expression, Nairu's emotion is definitely the most real feeling. If he hadn't been an imperial official after all, he would have wanted to kneel down and kiss the eldest lady of the Bei family's feet...and the ring on her finger.

But then again, in such an unstable border star region, even if a resort center with complete facilities and luxurious decoration is really built, will anyone really come? When Chief Nairu thought of this, he felt a little panicked. He was not worried about the wallet of Miss Belenkaist and the Alliance, but he was worried that other people's investment would fail, and the ghost place in the country where he was located would be even less cared about.

There are only two jump passages in this border galaxy in the border sector, one leading to the core of the sector and the hinterland of the empire, and the other pointing in the direction of the galactic center. The trip, which takes no more than a week at most, is to the empire's border defense line. As for the other end of the defense line, it is naturally the galactic center area, which is regarded as a "civilized forbidden zone".

Of course, in this day and age, everyone knows that civilization still exists in the galactic center, the so-called civilized forbidden area. In those barren galaxies that have unlocked the galactic core, there are still traces of civilization. Pirates, gangsters, cultists, star monsters, and a large number of predator tribes called interstellar nomads.

Of course, although they are called "tribes", the predators are actually composed of countless races. Even those losers who cannot survive among the countries of galactic civilization will flee to the barren star field in the center of the galaxy for refuge. Most of these escapees have turned into stardust in the universe before reaching their destination, but there must be some who succeed. No one can guarantee how many people will successfully establish a foothold there and bring technology and information from the "civilized world" to the predators.

Which country in the Milky Way galaxy has not been beaten by these "cosmic nomads" who suddenly emerged from the center of the galaxy?

In short, the Sarna planet where Chief Nairu is located is a frontier where war may break out at any time. Even if we ignore the frequent riots among these border residents, their frequent battles with looters have already determined that the situation in this place will not be stable. How can there be guests here?

The secretary then explained: "What we want to build is a military nursing home. Physical injuries are naturally protected by the gene therapy cabin. But mental trauma has always been troublesome. This kind of scenery is beautiful and far away The bustling place in the Central Star Region is just right for everyone to recuperate their body and mind."

Chief Nairu felt that this made some sense. Although he always felt that something was wrong, he forced himself not to think too much. In any case, as the administrator of an edge planet in a remote star region, his right of choice is not very big.

Everyone continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the destination for the inspection before three o'clock in the afternoon. It is a valley located on the border of the Great Pulse Plain. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a pleasant climate. It is a bit more elegant and sophisticated than the great plain outside the valley, and there is no sense of quantum entanglement at all.

At least there are no problems at all with the communication terminals everyone has.

"There is an abandoned building inside, which is the villa left by the former lord." Chief Nailu said: "But it is not considered a cultural relic and can be demolished."

"Let's start exploring from here." Yamida said.

The guys are ready to take action. Of course it’s not about demolishing the house, but it’s about checking the water quality, air content, geological stability, and the types of species around it. The architects in the team are also experts. They can even build a preliminary three-dimensional model based on the terrain of the site to determine whether construction can be carried out here.

Just when everyone was busy, a powerful sound of wind pressure suddenly came from the sky.

Yamida Senge Berenkeste frowned slightly and looked up, only to find that a hundred-meter-long silver traffic boat had hovered in the low sky only four to five hundred meters away.

On the side of the spacecraft, the sacred white tree emblem of the Suliuka royal family shines brightly in the sun.

"White-haired fox! I finally found you! Let me see what you want to do!" On the bridge of the airship, King Sulyuka Brunhilt looked at the group of people in the valley, feeling proud.
