Chapter 909: Captive

----------

(I’m going! On the 29th!! Please vote for me!!!)

It seems that our family does have a very surprising ability, that is, no matter what we do, something will always go wrong in the end.

Most of the time, problems arise with live treasures like Qian Qian or Lilina. Sometimes, I, the head of the family, and our majestic and dignified eldest lady will also go offline...

I think that regardless of whether these ruin tribes have understood what Yoder said, they must be deeply impressed by today's live broadcast anyway - but who cares, the unreliability of the first family is not a matter of a day or two. If they stay with the empire for a long time, they will find out sooner or later...

"Do we have a suitable world for them now?"

After finishing the announcement to civilians, I found Sivis who was on standby. This female officer who was always meticulous and heroic seemed to have a spirit that would never fade. Even after the war, she stayed on the front line with full energy. On the command platform, he was much stronger than the little guy in Pandora who immediately entered a low-power standby state after the battle.

"Yes, my Majesty, there are currently many worlds within the empire's territory, among which there are countless carbon-based main sequence planets suitable for the survival of the Ruin Tribe," Sivis nodded and said, "The Ruin Tribe has a total population of less than five Billions of people, one planet is enough to accommodate them.”

"But they may not be suitable for direct large-scale contact with other civilizations now, right?" I touched my chin and thought, "They are too lacking in the conventional knowledge system that a normal civilization should have, and they don't understand how to survive in the real world. In this way If they are in a state where they have rash contact with the complicated conventional civilization, it may not be a good thing for both of them."

These considerations were based on the thinking of an Earthling. As a member of the Imperial Family, Sivis obviously had not thought of this before, so she suddenly showed a look of surprise. In her opinion, perhaps a civilization wants to survive is a very simple matter - provide enough nutrients and space, and then give orders when they are needed. Typical imperial thinking, efficient, but basically not applicable to anyone Conventional civilization, even if the new empire has undergone great changes now, some deep-rooted habits and thoughts are not so easy to change. It is easy for them to provide more good treatment to the vassal civilization, but it is difficult for them to take the initiative to think of this. too much.

"Indeed, their current situation is not suitable for direct contact with normal civilization. Too strong cultural shock may destroy their social structure." Sivis just didn't think of that much. It doesn't mean that she can't figure it out if someone reminds her. , she immediately understood my considerations, "Then we need to exclude those planets that have been colonized by advanced civilizations, and the entire territory of the Pan-Galaxy Civilization Community can be excluded. The most ideal choice is a planet with a complete ecosystem and rich resources, but There are some planets without intelligent life in the empire's colonial reserve, and some planets that do not meet the conditions can still support their survival with a little adjustment..."

"Brother."

While Sivis and I were discussing, a gentle call suddenly came from behind. Without looking back, I knew who it was just from the tone of voice and the unique name: Busujima Saeko.

Speaking of this title of "brother" is really a bit speechless. To be honest, until now, I am not used to this serious and almost inappropriate way of calling people, even though it sounds like it is also a name for family members. But have you ever seen a few children who bowed and said, "Mom, please give me three to five cents to buy a KFC chicken drumstick" when asking for money from their mother? But Busujima Saeko just screwed like this!

In fact, Busujima was called that out of fun at first. She once wanted to learn how to be a maid from Anweina, but it ended in vain. I even dragged her to school. For any school-age child, , even going to school is definitely something worth abhorring. I always firmly believe that it is because of this that Busushima unswervingly calls me that rigid "Onii-sama", because when she called me that, I always She looked very depressed, which made her very happy.

But now, this title seems to have become a habit for her.

"Zezi? Didn't you go back to rest?"

I turned my head and glanced at the girl standing behind me. She was standing three meters away, with a gentle smile on her face. She looked like a lady when she wasn't holding a knife.

"Brother, are you considering arranging matters for these ruined tribes?"

Saeko looked at Sivis and suddenly spoke with a hint of hope.

"Huh? Do you have any suggestions?"

After being in harmony with each other's siblings for a while, I still understand this cheap sister a little bit. Although her position at home is roughly equivalent to that of a nanny like Anweina, occasionally there are still some differences between her and Anweina, and that is Saeko She will put forward some small requests of her own. From this point of view, she is more human than Anweina. The ghost maid who has no desires and desires has never known how to express her own requests. So far, she has been with me. She asked for two things. The first was that I allow her to build a nest on the cabinet in the living room. The second was that she wanted us to go outside and find some crows for her. She wanted to learn how to lay eggs. The second item was severely rejected by me.

Isn’t it a bit off topic?

"Brother, I have some ideas, but it doesn't matter if brother has already made a decision..." Saeko hesitated for a moment, but said it happily, "Actually, it's okay for the people from the Ruin Tribe to be placed on Mars, right? ?There’s already quite a large ecological area there.”

"Mars?"

I immediately thought of the red planet that was covered with red iron oxide soil and was ravaged by storms all year round. But soon, I realized that what Saeko was talking about might be another Mars - the world of Academy Apocalypse. that.

"Shelter?" I raised my eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Sanctuary" refers to Mars in the Academy Apocalypse world. Speaking of that universe, it can be said to be the most special one among the territories where the emperor is stationed. There are no vassal races in its native land, which is similar to what we have now. The rules of the ruling area are completely different. The local human survivors are not qualified to be vassals, and the civilization stages in other parts of the universe are not very advanced. The most advanced ones have not yet been able to fly out of their solar system. The empire has set up many large bases and colonies in that universe, treating it as one of the inland territories. However, due to lack of energy, we have not yet carried out large-scale development of that universe. It can be said that the entire world is a virgin land waiting for construction. , the systematic activities currently carried out in that world are only observations that do not cause any interference to the original civilization and some conventional scientific research.

It is probably equivalent to the "suburbs" of the empire. It has a bright future, but we don't have time to build it yet.

Shandora plans to launch a comprehensive construction project in the universe where the Academy of Apocalypse world is located in the next three hundred years, using it as one of the important "factories" in the rise of the empire. However, this will take hundreds of years and thousands of years. A plan that may not be completed is a bit too far away for me. Usually Shandora is in charge of such things, but now that Saeko suddenly mentioned "shelter", I remembered these related things.

"Speaking of which, that world is also your hometown."

I looked a little emotional and said, "You haven't seen your friends there for a long time, right?"

"It is true that some friends are still there, but my hometown is no longer considered." Seiko shook his head, "A surreal shelter full of steel is not as good as having a sense of belonging at my brother's house - in the Mars shelter. Staying here is just the same as being on this ship, it's just a novelty for me."

"That's true." I nodded.

The planet where Busujima Saeko was born and raised has been wiped out with the flashes of the Gate of the Abyss and EOP-03. The few hundred thousand survivors left in the world have been transferred to a Martian shelter. Such a shelter, of course, is of course important to her. It’s not really her hometown, so now Saeko completely regards Shadow City and her “brother’s house” as her home. However, since she still has some friends staying in the Martian shelter, she will still go back to visit them occasionally. Recently, she has Time doesn’t go back very much—the Imperial Military Academy is about to take its final exam...

Saeko means to let the ruined tribes of this world settle down in the Mars Sanctuary. Her suggestion is surprising. I don’t quite understand her motivation for doing this - it would be detrimental to the ruined tribes and the people on the Martian Sanctuary. Does it mean anything?

"Although Brother-sama is a person who is very considerate of others, he can be careless sometimes." Saeko looked into my eyes and whispered, "Although the shelter is safe, there is only one city in the world. This is But it’s a very lonely thing.”

When I heard it, I was a little stunned - it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Saeko continued: "After the collapse of the earth, everyone was gathered in the shelter, hundreds of thousands of people, and the only city. This fact made many people very depressed, although they no longer had to worry about safety, and everyone was also We worked hard to build a new home, but the entire planet was gone. Human civilization suddenly fell back to that situation. The entire world was compressed into a protective shield. Outside the city was an uninhabited no man's land. No matter how far we walked on the entire planet No other traces of human beings can be found... In such a life, many people begin to recall the once prosperous civilization on earth. When I went back two months ago, I met Officer Zhonggang. She admitted that the overall atmosphere in the shelter was getting worse and worse. It’s getting worse. So I thought, if there could be another large group of people with the same experience with them at this time...even if they never understand each other, wouldn’t they be able to encourage each other?”

"So, it seems that I was indeed negligent," I stroked my chin in thought. The situation that Seiko mentioned was easy to imagine, but no one had thought of it before. Although the shelter can protect people's lives, it cannot. Protecting the human soul. It is true that after the end of the world, you are very lucky to be able to live in a shelter. At least you are much luckier than those who died, but you take away a person who was still living a normal life a few months ago. Picked out of the earth with six billion people, and thrown into a glass shell with only a few hundred thousand people, and it is visually estimated that these hundreds of thousands of them will have to survive in this shell for more than ten generations before they can appear on the planet again. Something that can barely be called a "civilization" or a "country" has to be said to be a kind of tragedy in life.

Of course, if we ignore this matter, there will not be much consequences. The first generation of shelter residents may be sad, but the second generation of shelter residents will only have regrets. By the time the third generation comes, they will They will get used to life in the shelter. Sooner or later, the new generation in the shelter will completely forget that their race once spread all over the planet. They will learn to develop with peace of mind and be content in their shells until they step out of the shelter according to the plan. This is the so-called respite effect of "post-apocalyptic civilization."

But now I obviously won’t leave this situation alone. In any case, this is something that can be easily done, and the human survivors in the shelter can be regarded as people under my rule - even if they are not qualified to be vassals of the empire. , but you should also have the right to live a better life. In Sandora's words, in any position, there are always responsibilities that must be shouldered.

"Everyone, including the tribes on the ruins, I believe, needs to rely on each other to be braver." Saeko clasped his hands and looked directly into my eyes. "They have a lot in common, don't they? If they have to find each other, If I rely on it, I think the ruin tribes and the survivors in the Mars shelter are the only suitable ones. Everyone in the Mars shelter can no longer face the lonely reality of having only one city on the entire planet, and these ruin tribes can also find a A leader who will not cause too much social impact on them, the survivors in the shelter will be happy to teach the ruin tribe how to survive on a real planet..."

I nodded while listening. What Seiko said is right. When other cities appear on the planet, the Mars shelter will be more than just a shelter. Perhaps it will become completely prosperous in a very short period of time, within the lifetime of a generation. Within, it will become a bustling real world. Human beings in the shelter will no longer have to continue to recall the past of the earth alone in the only city in the world, and the ruined tribes will also be able to learn how to survive in the ordinary world as quickly as possible. Survive on the planet: As Seiko said, the humans in the Martian shelter are the most suitable guides. They understand what people need most after losing their homeland, and they also know how to help a group of newly arrived refugees adapt to the new world as quickly as possible. , you know, for a group of ordinary people who are accustomed to living on earth, getting familiar with the ultra-modern Mars shelter is no less difficult than letting the ruin tribe know what the "outside world" is. Since they are all very good at it, Once you have adapted, you will naturally have some experience adapting to the new environment.

"How big is the habitable zone near the Mars shelter? Wait, you'd better give me a more complete report."

I turned around and asked Sivis, who pulled out a file, glanced at it quickly, and replied: "The shelter used several super plants cultivated by Lilina to build the planet's ecosystem, and God left a Under the atmosphere manufacturing system, the entire target world of Mars has initially met the conditions for ordinary humans to survive directly in the atmosphere. Currently, the main vegetation there covers the northern hemisphere, and a quarter of the entire planet has reached the standard of an excellent ecological planet. The southern hemisphere It has been set as a non-development zone. Currently, there are completely native rivers and tundra, but the vegetation coverage rate only reaches the level of a desert planet. The refuge is still the only city on the entire planet, and only a few satellite towns have been built around it. , due to population restrictions, the expansion of the refuge is very slow. Comprehensive evaluation shows that the target world's Mars has reached the standard of a medium ecological planet, and the ruin tribe can all be resettled in the northern hemisphere."

"Wow, such a desolate place can be colonized so quickly, much faster than I thought."

I sighed sincerely.

After all, that planet was originally only used to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees. We did not use Imperial technology to build an ecosystem for the entire planet at all. Later, the atmosphere manufacturing system and Lilina’s super plants were all we did for the shelter.” "Additional investment", I really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the desolate Mars turned into a medium-quality colonial planet. What kind of strange seeds did Lilina throw there?

“Then it’s settled, place the Ruin Tribe in the Martian Sanctuary,” I made the decision. “Establish some imperial outposts near the Sanctuary, raise the administrative level of that planet, and treat it as a general subsidiary colony. In addition, notify the person in charge of the shelter so that they can prepare to receive their new neighbors. In addition, a group of engineering ships will be mobilized from the Shadow City to build a temporary town for the ruin tribe. We will set off in a few hours to arrange these. Refugees and then return.”

Sivis agreed and carried out the order, while Saeko looked very happy: "Thank you, brother, for tolerating such a willful request of mine..."

"Okay, okay, when will you stop being so strict?" I looked at Saeko helplessly, "It is my job to protect the people. And speaking of it, the Martian shelter is indeed I was a bit negligent and didn’t care enough about them.”

"Please don't think so! Brother, I have to deal with a lot of things every day. What I have to consider is the major issues of the entire empire. How can I take such a heavy burden into consideration for a single small tribe? In fact, Brother, I can do so hard for just a small tribe. Just having hundreds of thousands of human beings to worry about is very touching.”

Looking at Saeko's serious face and listening to her unswerving words, I suddenly felt...this girl might be speaking sarcastically.

Do you think I look like a busy guy?

"Go, go, go back to the house and sleep!" I waved to Saeko and said, trying to look majestic. The other party also suppressed his smile, bowed slightly to me with impeccable etiquette, and ran briskly towards the teleporter.

However, just when I stretched myself and prepared to go back to the lounge to catch up on my sleep, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the air next to me, followed immediately by Bingtis's whistling voice: "Ahaha, Chen, come with me quickly! We have a big surprise!"

I was stunned, and I threw the rogue goddess over my shoulder, who was about to give her a signature bear hug, and threw her to the ground, "What's the surprise?"

"Prisoner!" Bingtis was lying on the ground and dancing, "Unprecedented! Your sister has really made a great contribution. There is an unlucky guy who failed to run away and failed to self-destruct. We captured him alive - he captured a fallen apostle. , the fallen apostle who is alive and kicking!"
