Young man, he has a common name - Summer.

He had expected the journey through the wormhole to be short and reactive violently, but he soon realized that he was wrong.

As their spaceship slowly approached the wormhole, the space around the wormhole seemed to stretch out its tentacles, quickly incorporating them into its sphere, only a slight vibration, the starlight in front of them turned into fragments and thin lines, and then, the lines became more and more blurred, about ten minutes later, maybe longer, Summer found that they did not seem to have reached their destination, there was still darkness in front of them, and the time to pass through this so-called "wormhole" was longer than he imagined.

Time was ticking by, and Summer had completely lost its sense of time in the darkness, and during this long and long time, he sat on the highest seat in the main control room and secretly prayed that everything would go well.

Finally, a glimmer of bright spots appeared in front of the eyes of summer, just like the stars in the night sky. Soon, the dots turned into lines, the lines melted into surfaces, and in less than a tenth of a second, a bright light emerged from the darkness, and the dark starry sky appeared in the field of vision again.

Suddenly, a violent shiver shook Summer's hands and feet, and a bright red symbol flashed on the monitor in the ship's main control room, warning us.

"What's wrong?"

The robot flickered red, it paused for a moment, and continued, "When the boundary wormhole is opened again, there is a certain amount of psionic energy to impact the material galaxy, Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just an accident, the impact has passed, and we are using reserve resources to close the wormhole." "As it says, the ship is leveling off.

Summer's hearts are gradually soothing, and their stiff muscles are slowly softening, and they should arrive at their destination.

Summer noticed a bright star burning hot in the distance, a young star not much different from the billions of stars in the Milky Way, but the planets surrounding it were so different.

He saw several planets encircling the fiery spherical celestial body, two of which were covered in blue and green colors, the closest one was as white as a pearl, the other was relatively yellow, but it was also different, and the other planets were relatively common, they were either a gray mist, or a cold snow star, or a desolate red-yellow hot planet, and at a glance, it was clear that those planets were nothing more than dead planets with little possibility.

However, these two ......

Summer's eyes moved slightly, and a possibility arose.

"It's ....... Atmosphere? Not only that, but he also saw space junk on one of the planets, and a ring-shaped object, like a ...... Satellite?

"Your Majesty, reports from the Boundary Probe show that the K-238-193352-VT system has two planets suitable for you to colonize, so we have chosen this as your base for development."

Summer saw not only that, "Those satellites? ”

"Your Majesty," the robot was manipulating something out of nowhere, only to see two rows of light particles from the top and bottom of the optical pole tube, the light particles on top of the light particles rotated and condensed into a picture, it was a layer of gray dust, it wrapped the entire planet, the dust gas was almost stagnant, and below it was a barren area, and countless ruins.

Summer was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but expressing his surprise in silent silence.

"Your Majesty, according to the data that has been transmitted in the past, it is because of the civilization destroyed by nuclear war, and now there are less than half a million humans left on this planet, and most of them are hidden underground."

Summer's eyes widened as she watched the image of a once-majestic city now covered in dust and vines, the walls of the buildings peeling off in layers, dark red bricks exposed, and cement and steel in between.

Summer could occasionally see a flash of shadow dangling through the ruins of the city, and he couldn't even make out what those shadows were that were not much smaller than a person.

"It's monsters that have been mutated by radiation, and they have been affected by the unique energy of the past boundary wormholes when they were opened, making them even more terrifying, and they can adapt to the environment more quickly, otherwise they would never have developed to this level in just thirty years after this thermonuclear war with normal species adaptation time."

"Why did we come to such a planet?"

"Your Majesty, this planet has the foundation for the development of the power industry era, and the number of survivors is small, which is suitable for your initial development."

Initial development? Does it really intend to make me the "Earth Emperor" of this planet? Summer was a little hard to believe the idea of it.

"Another planet can also be colonized?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the owner of that planet is a feudal civilization in the Cold Weapon Age, and the Imperial Management System has concluded that it is not suitable for our initial development, and that it has an industrial base that is far from that of this ruined planet after the thermonuclear war, and that it will take a long time to rebuild the industrial system."

Summer fell silent.

He watched as the massive ship slowly approached the ruins on the ground, bringing up puffs of dust.

The ship's operation port was connected to the robot next to him, so he knew that this huge ship that was thousands of meters long was controlled by it, and everything here was under the control of the synth, and it could easily seal the entire ship as long as it wanted.

When I think about it, I feel uneasy about summer. It's chilling to surrender your life to someone you've only known for less than a few minutes, in outer space.

Eventually, they came to a halt in a large ruined plaza near a large industrial area, and the ship began to slowly stretch out its massive arms around the ground.

The dry, fragile walls shatter at the touch of a button, like statues that have been around for thousands of years, scattered and crumbling under the impact of the air currents until the air flow of the landing engine gradually weakens.

After a slight but slow shudder, they made their first contact with the planet's ground.

The buildings here have a similar resemblance to the pre-space-age Earth Federation, and if they hadn't been destroyed in a thermonuclear war, Summer suspects they'd have stepped into space and into the interstellar span for the next few hundred years.

No, it will be longer.

He understands how accidental it is for a civilization to want to enter the interstellar age, unless it is invaded by an alien civilization, such as the Earth being invaded by the First Human United Empire fleet and then vassalized, it is almost impossible to enter the interstellar era from the post-industrial era with its own development alone, and the span of that period is not a thousand years.

Putting aside useless thoughts, Summer looked around and saw towering minarets, square towers, fan-shaped statues, torches held alof, ancient clocks, broken villas, and endless ruins, ruins, and many more.

Everything here is like the past of the Earth Federation, Summer seems to see the Earth Federation fifty years ago when it was not yet unified, but it was seen in the old era image data disk of the Federation Academy, and now, they are presented in front of themselves in the form of ruins, which brings an inexplicable sense of sadness to Summer.

"Mind you, we're landing."

The main control system emitted a mechanical voice that did not fluctuate, "The colony ship has landed, is it converted into an initial outpost base?" ”

"Your Majesty?"

Summer nodded.

Immediately afterward, Summer discovers that their ship is going deep underground, expanding in all directions. Metal is like a spreading sea of water, each piece of metal is like a living beast, they devour the ruins, they devour the land, they devour the vegetation, they devour all the colors within a radius of ten miles, the silver beast roared up, and the world seemed to fall for it.

Soon, Summer found himself in a position that stretched upward, and the ground was like a spread of silk brocade, becoming smaller and smaller, gradually transforming into thin lines, small squares, and the buildings of Fang Cai became like stacked wooden toys, and he looked down on the land above the sky.

"Your Majesty, this is your unique abode," the robot complimented him, bowing his eyebrows, "it is the Tower, just like you." ”

The Tower? Summer's sense of absurdity arose spontaneously, how could he be virtuous, why could he be above this land.

If he really lived in such a high position, what would be the consequences?

"Your Majesty," the robot said as if to see Summer's uneasiness, and its words blew like a gentle wind, "you will be supreme, and the galaxy will prostrate at your feet, because you are our king, we follow your will, and all this is your choice." ”

Summer's mind turned away from the mysterious robots, and he silently looked at the mountains in the distance, and the radiation clouds that persisted all year round, if it was just an ordinary thermonuclear weapon, how much energy would it take to cover the world.

"Your Majesty, the colony has been launched, the scientific research and exploration ship is entering deep space to study the planet's orbiting satellite, the engineering ship has taken off, and waiting for the scientific research ship to complete its exploration, it will start the planetary resource collection mode, which will take a certain amount of time. The empire is on track, and we will soon complete the colonization phase. ”

Summer looked at the frantically spreading metal plate, only to feel a little dizzy, and he took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, now this planet is yours, you can name it."

Name it? Looking at this desolate and decaying ruins of the city, he wonders what kind of changes the robot brought him here will bring to the world.

"It's called Dawn," he said eventually, hoping it would bring me home.
