Volume 1 Fateful Encounters Chapter 85 A Call from the Academy
The large-scale production activities on Itgleason are in full swing, and more and more buildings are rising from the ground in the heart of cooperation, as if it has the appearance of a human city. Unfortunately, these buildings are empty and uninhabited.
Morningstar and Layton had many discussions about how to expand the population, but nothing came of it, all due to the unavoidable alien population.
Now the humans on Itgleason have accepted the existence of this strange insect unit, and although they are fierce and powerful, they are as obedient as domestic cats. There are many humans here who have been exposed to information about alien insects, all of which are related to killing and destruction, but this stereotype has been completely broken in ItGleson. Putting aside the Wyvern knights being developed in the laboratory, how could these humans have ever seen sickle cockroaches helping miners mine stone, how could they believe that a few children were swinging on a rope pulled up by two spinal needle crawlers, and even more excessively, in the construction site on Itgleson, there was no need for such a thing as a crane, and the slow-flying king insects in the sky requisitioned their jellyfish-like tentacles to constantly carry large materials, stable, accurate, and low-risk. If the scene of the human race and the swarm living in harmony on Itgleason reaches the ears of the human camp, it will cause a storm of public opinion like a nuclear explosion.
It was precisely because of this harmony that it was difficult to bring in the population of Itgleason. Morningstar once proposed to ignore the feedback of the human camp and release the information blocking on ItGleason, which is a big deal to make the current Itgleason a tourist planet and generate income. Layton acknowledges Morningstar's whimsical brains, but thinks now is not the time. Itergerason is still unable to withstand the pressure from the entire human camp, and although sooner or later the threat from the Void will be known to the public, but this ethereal prophecy is more likely to become a laughing stock if it is not widely confirmed. But this idea was endorsed by Tula on the grounds that Tula had analyzed the composition of the personnel on the Itgleason and calculated the probability of success.
The composition of the ItGleason personnel can now be divided into three categories. The largest category is the personal forces that Layton has cultivated over the years, and these people are trustworthy in their loyalty and there is no element of uneasiness. The second largest number of them were the construction troops sent by Vystock, and since they did not block these people's communication with the Empire, presumably the situation on ItGleason has been known to the Imperial FΓΌhrer now, and the reason why it has not been reported for a long time may be because Vetstock still has some concerns. The smallest part of the group are the former Union citizens from Haven Star, these people just work and live in ItGleason, which is very simple, and there is no possibility of leaks.
Tula believes that Vistock's silence after having received news from Itgleason is inseparable from Katarina's influence, and that with this pre-emptive advantage, there is a possibility of going closer. Continuing to play the role of Caterina and allowing Vystock some benefits, it would not be a problem to gain the approval of the Empire. The Republic, on the other hand, needs Layton to intervene and use his connections in the Republic to selectively provide this information to the higher-ups. If it works, then you don't need to care about the opinion of the Alliance, and you can leave the matter to the Republic and the Empire. After much deliberation, the group finally came to the conclusion that this plan was feasible, so Leighton set off to return to the Republic to operate.
After Layton left, Itgleson's development activities were left to Tula. Tula blew his beard and glared at Morningstar several times, but he couldn't change the result, and Morningstar preferred to spend time on training than managing the planet. In the end, Tula relented.
During this time, Morningstar also received a private communication request from Weststock, which surprised Morningstar a little. In Katerina's private room, Morning Star communicates with Vistock for the first time. Vistock behaved with the kindness of an elder, facing this young man of the Republic who abducted his daughter, not as serious as an old man, but more like an older friend, perhaps this is the change in the way of doing things brought about by the difference in concepts.
During the conversation with Vistock, Morningstar learns that Caterina has told Vesstock about the main purpose of the Morningstar group, the core of which is Tula's language, a threat from the Void. Vistock was still skeptical, but as Caterina deepened her narrative, this suspicion faded. As Morningstar and others had speculated, the Empire's construction troops sent to Itgrison had already reported the situation to Vistock, and with Caterina's observations, Vistock now had some trust in the prophecy. The main purpose of this appointment was twofold. One is to know how Morningstar can control the swarm, and if possible, he hopes to share it with the Empire. However, Vistock was disappointed, and Morningstar bluntly explained Quinn's existence to Vistock, and told Vistock about the method of controlling the swarm and the situation Quinn's face. Vistock was very happy about Morningstar's trust, and although he failed to achieve his main goal, it was enough to have this prospective son-in-law's honesty with him. The second purpose of Vistock is to express the idea of continuing to send aid troops to Itgleason, the reason for this question is because Vistock knows that the real purpose in his heart cannot be hidden from Morning Star and the brains behind him, and increasing the aid force at such a point in time is to increase the help of Itgleeson's construction, and the ugly thing is to make an advance investment in order to obtain greater benefits in the future. Of course, Morningstar also knew Vestok's purpose, but the fact that this old man was able to discuss this issue with him in the form of discussion also showed the sincerity of the other party.
Morningstar agrees to this idea, but there is an additional condition on top of this, which is the issue of gender ratio. Morningstar demanded that the force should not have more than one male to female ratio, and that it would be better if it could be lower. Morningstar even told his own hearsay about the fact that on some planets in the empire the birth rate of women was much higher than that of men, and suggested that the composition of this aid force could even be mixed with civilians. Vistock was at first puzzled by such a request, but after a moment's thought, he was relieved. The two then finalized the number of troops and the supplies they could provide, and Morningstar exited Caterina's room, leaving the rest of the time to the father and daughter.
The reason why Morningstar made this seemingly inexplicable request was because he saw that there was a somewhat deformed composition of the It Gleeson, with a male-to-female ratio of about seven to three. The vast majority of the humans who are now on ItGleason will become permanent citizens here. This is different from the short-term mission, these citizens lagged behind in the initial construction and faced the problem of living here, according to the ancient theory of the hierarchy of human needs, physiological needs are the cornerstone of everything and must be satisfied. But such a deformed sex ratio is bound to bring unnecessary trouble to the stability of ItGleason in the future. Since Vistock wants to make a profit from ItGleeson, it is inevitable that the necessary efforts will be made, and Morningstar seized the opportunity to raise this issue, which can be regarded as a benefit for the majority of male compatriots who are sweating on ItGleason.
Humming a little song, taking arrogant steps, the morning star with his nostrils facing the sky felt as if he had done something amazing, and the whole person was a little fluttery. The people who saw the Morning Star along the way avoided it, and no one knew which of the actual controllers of Itgleeson was wrong.
Finding Quinn and Catherine, Morningstar devotes himself to the daily slimy time, this process is what Morningstar enjoys the most, in such a hormone-producing age, what is more pleasant than love? If there is, then it can only be that the driving trap is training with Quinn. But this activity has been banned, and it was banned by all members of ItGleason on the grounds that it is too dangerous and not conducive to harmony and stability.
Lying in Quinn's warm embrace, eating and drinking the fruit handed by Catherine, and little Norlin helping to beat his legs, the emperor-like enjoyment made Morning Star a little reluctant to move. But good things are always grinding, and Anshidal's call shatters that enjoyment.
The call came from Layton, who was heading to operate in the Republic, and after receiving the notification from Anshidar, Morningstar thought that Layton had encountered some difficult problem to solve, and hurriedly ran to the Goddess Eye Bridge, only to see Layton and two other faces that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Mentor, mentor? How did you end up with my father? Ha! And the dean, long time no see! β
On the screen, with Layton is an old man with a gray beard and a mature and beautiful woman. The old man is Li Tiannian, the dean of the Yanhuang Military Academy where Morning Star is located, who has been in charge of the Yanhuang Military Academy for decades, making it stand at the top of the human colleges and universities, and cultivating countless talents for the republic. The beautiful woman's name is Qin Qing, and her identity is Morning Star's mecha instructor. There are countless people who have been deceived by her appearance, thinking that it is a ripe and delicious fruit, and vainly trying to pick it, but without exception they have been injured. Morning Star has studied under Qin Qing for two years, and he knows this woman with a beautiful appearance very well, and he has witnessed countless scenes of people who want to pick fruits being beaten violently. This is a delicious fruit, but it also requires the strength of the picker to break the spikes on the outside and break the hard husk before eating the delicious flesh.
Li Tiannian stroked his beard with his signature movements, and after taking a serious look at Morning Star, he said: "It's not bad, it's a lot stronger than before, it seems that the injury didn't make you lose your physique, but got a good opportunity." β
"Hey, Dean, I'm almost dead!" For Li Tiannian, Morningstar has a very harmonious relationship with him, and he talks a lot more casually. Morningstar pulled Anshidar to his side and continued, "If it weren't for this beauty, you might never have seen me again! β
Li Tiannian noticed Anshidar and said in surprise: "Pusenchus? You kid can, you have such an adventure! β
"You can too, old man, you can recognize my little Anda as a native of Pusenchus!" Morningstar was not surprised that Li Tiannian could recognize Anda, but he still said to Li Tiannian no big or small.
Layton on the side turned dark, and reprimanded: "Morning Star, you bastard, how can you talk to Dean Li?" β
Li Tiannian shook his hand, signaled Layton not to be angry, and said, "It's okay, I'm very happy for him to talk like this, which means that I am not old in his heart." β
In the screen, the family who was still standing on the side pushed Li Tiannian away, complaining that the other party didn't talk about business, standing in front of the screen, looking at Morning Star and saying, "It's okay, it's good that you're not dead, but do you want to drop out?" Haven't been in contact with me since the last time I was out on a mission, and I haven't been in contact with the school. I'm telling you, none of my students can be deserters! β
Seeing the somewhat excited face of the family, and thinking about her terrifying teaching method, Morning Star swallowed the rebuttal that was about to blurt out into his stomach, and muttered like a mosquito fly: "Sister, I am the first student you brought and the only one, okay?"
"Huh? What did you say? β
"Uh, you're right, Mentor Qin Qing." The so-called people who know the times are Junjie, think about those who were beaten by family affection, Morningstar wittily chose to admit it.
