The Asterisk sailed slowly towards the incomparably wide purpose-built airport platform outside the palace hall.

The two air-space fighters, which had been in charge of guidance in front, suddenly accelerated and separated, one left and one right, pulling out a heart-shaped Hongqiao in mid-air, and then the Visiting Star crossed the center of the Hongqiao and slowly headed towards the honor guard at the airport.

At the end of the gangway in the spaceship, Ye Ming had been with Director Xia for a while, until he saw the queen leading the crowd to come, Ye Ming took a step with a smile and was the first to walk down the gangway after the hatch opened.

The Queen's outfit was the same solemn as the last time she had visited Earth, and there was a handsome middle-aged man standing beside her.

"Academician Ye, on behalf of the three billion people and hundreds of millions of living beings in the Karatu Galaxy, I would like to welcome Your Excellency."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's my pleasure."

Ye Ming bowed his head slightly, shook hands with Queen Gaillardrell with a smile, and then looked at the queen's consort, Prince Kaylaburn, on the side.

This prince's presence in the human world is not high, but Ye Ming knows that this prince's actual authority is extremely heavy, and he is responsible for all the military and political power on another habitable planet. On the earth, it was the overlord-level grand duke of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Academician Ye, thank you for taking care of the little girl." Prince Gaylarborne also looked at Ye Ming with a smile, and at the same time took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"His Royal Highness is too polite." Ye Ming smiled and glanced behind him, only to see that Ai Wen finally appeared on the gangway at this time.

This time she went back to her hometown, and the diplomatic departments of the two sides communicated very early on how to arrange the reception position - mainly to communicate in what capacity Ai Wen would return, and then ranked a few questions with a strong flavor of this political symbol, until the queen herself spoke, saying that since she was studying in the human world, she would come back as a scholar and student.

So, she was at the back of the line, with Ita.

Seeing Ai Wen come out, Ye Ming also knew that the couple was thinking about their daughter, so they didn't say too much to greet, and soon shook hands with the next Keldo, the president of the Wisdom Academy, Islita, the director of the Queen's Office, and other high-level executives of the Kerong people who had long been familiar.

When the meeting process was over, the people on both sides stood in three rows and posed for the media outside the palace for a minute, and then slowly walked into the palace under the leadership of the queen.

……

Two hours later, Ye Ming, who was tired, sat on the sofa by the window of the suite, looking at the towering high-rise buildings below and the road network that shuttled through the high-rise buildings like vines through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, and his face rose with emotion.

"Ita, do you think that the cities of our earth will develop like this in the future?"

Ye Ming held on to the armrest of the quaint sofa and turned his head to look at Ita who was standing aside.

Ita was also looking out over the city cluster below, shaking her head as she watched.

"Centralized cities are definitely a trend, but to become ...... like them," Ita said, shaking her head again, "I don't feel scientific." ”

"Hehe, I don't feel scientific either, but now we seem to be doing it." Ye Ming thought of the renovation project of the residential center in the provincial capital, shook his head slightly, and said: "We were born on the earth and grew up on the earth, and we can't do without the land after all." ”

"It's an engineering problem." Ita pointed to the winding roads and said, "These roads, they are all made of alloy, how much metal does it take......"

"This is the advantage of people's abundant resources, and we can't compare with it now."

The doorbell rang softly, and Ita quickly walked to the door.

"Ita-sensei! Teacher! ”

As expected, Ai Wen's face appeared in the doorway.

"Aren't you going back to your parents?" Ye Ming turned around and said with a smile, but immediately he turned straight and stood up from the sofa.

Ai Wen's parents are right behind her.

"Professor Ye, don't be too official, we're just parents at this time."

The queen had already changed her dress and put on her regular clothes, and so did the prince behind her, dressed like an ordinary person.

Seeing this, Ye Ming no longer insisted, but invited the two to sit down on the sofa next to the coffee table.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Ai Wen walked to the tea vessel very obediently and began to make tea for the three of them.

Queen Gaylardrell looked away from her daughter, and the smile on her lips couldn't stop appearing: "She wasn't so diligent at home before, don't you say?" ”

The prince also nodded with a smile: "She used to be a little troublemaker. ”

"Hey...... I'm still here! Ai Wen walked to the coffee table with the tray, staring at the teacup without squinting, her little face was full of dissatisfaction: "It's good to give some face." ”

The three adults laughed.

Putting down the teacup, Ai Wen glanced left and right, and found that there was no place for her next to her parents, and the separate position was occupied by Ita, so she sat next to Ye Ming and faced her parents.

Ye Ming moved his position to the side and looked sideways at Ai Wen, smiling and nodding slightly: "Ai Wen is the smartest and studious student I have ever met, and she is also very educated and has a very good personality, and everyone she comes into contact with is full of praise for her." ”

Rao is Ai Wen felt that she had trained her face very thickly in the human world, and she still blushed instantly.

Listening to Ye Ming's praise, the queen and her family were also overjoyed, smiling constantly.

The two of them have heard some of Ye Ming's gossip, and they know that Ye Ming, as the first person in the human science community, rarely praises people, especially such naked praise.

And they can see that Ye Ming's appreciation for his daughter is sincere, not perfunctory.

So it is conceivable that his daughter must have scored high in Ye Ming's eyes.

"Thanks to Professor Ye's teaching." The queen immediately thanked Ye Ming.

"No, no, it's her personality and habits that have been well formed. It's all the credit of my parents, and I don't dare to be greedy. ”

"Haha, Academician Ye is too polite."

……

The three of them chatted here for a long time, but in the end, Ai Wen couldn't help it, she held her somewhat red face, and glared at her father resentfully-her father has always doted on her a little more: "Father, can you stop looking for topics on me?" You're going to get down to business! ”

"Oh, hahaha! Good! His Royal Highness smiled slightly, and then looked at his wife.

Her Majesty understood, looked at Ye Ming after rescuing her smile a little, and said softly after a few seconds of silence: "Professor Ye, we originally wanted to discuss this matter with your Community Council, but I think it may be more effective to discuss it with you." ”

Ye Ming was slightly stunned, and subconsciously straightened up: "Excuse me, what's the matter?" ”

Saying that, in order to prevent the queen from asking some questions that made him a little difficult to answer, Ye Ming immediately patched it up and said, "Your Highness, the main task of my visit this time is to conduct a statistical and mapping ......of the science and engineering of our Virgo Super Galaxy Group Civilization Alliance."

The queen nodded: "I understand. ”

Ye Ming also nodded and motioned for Her Majesty to continue.

"The coalition forces must completely wipe out the entire superstar group, right?"

Although Ye Ming didn't know why the queen asked this, he still nodded directly and admitted: "This is our goal, and it is a goal in the near future." ”

The queen hummed, her brow furrowed slightly, and then she looked out of the window—only to see that it was noon, and the sun was shining directly on the city.

"Does Professor Ye know why we have to build the house so high?"

Ye Ming was stunned, he really didn't know this question, and he hadn't thought about it - all he could think of was that the Kerong people were extreme natural environmentalists, and they would rather live in groups than disperse.

"Because of the heat." Ai Wen answered for Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was stunned again: "Is it hot?" I didn't feel ......," but immediately, Ye Ming came to his senses.

The reason why he didn't feel the heat was because the altitude of this royal palace was too high - by the standards of the earth, it was about two thousand meters above sea level - not to say the ground level, but the entire building was probably more than a thousand meters high.

In fact, the entire royal city is located on a plateau, and each building is a kilometer high.

At such a high point, the hot air has dissipated, the heat island effect is almost gone, and it is really not very hot.

"Yes, because of the heat. And then, it's going to be even hotter. ”

Her Majesty nodded slightly, she turned her head to look at her husband and said softly, "Thankfully, we have two home planets that can allow us to survive these extreme climates that cannot be resisted by technological means - in about a hundred years, the bottom and underground inhabitants of Elsa's home planet will probably be moving to Zela's home planet." ”

Ye Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and he also subconsciously glanced outside, and then his eyes froze: "Is it because of the three-body problem?" ”

"Yes." The queen nodded slowly: "In the past thousands of years, we have been facing the problem of three-body celestial bodies, and many solutions and technologies have been born, but until today, we still can't solve this great power of heaven and earth from the orbit of the planet. ”

Ye Ming nodded slowly.

He understood.

It is no wonder that the Krong people have such a deep technical accumulation in the field of atmospheric transformation and environmental transformation, and it is no wonder that the queen will accept them as the first condition for human beings to participate in the war in an all-out way, and even because of this, they will transform the desert area of human beings......

It turns out that the root of the crux of the problem is here.

"Isn't it true that your Zela's home planet won't have a long habitation period?"

"Yes and no." After a pause, Her Majesty said slowly: "Of course, there are still hundreds of years of stable time. In fact, our technology has tended to stagnate in the last 10,000 years, which is also affected by the environment - many of our technologies were born during the period of stability 10,000 years ago. ”

"But as a ...... With a civilization of tens of thousands of years, and a leader who guards a civilization of tens of thousands of years, I must think about a hundred years from now. ”

"So......" Her Majesty took a deep breath and stared at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming's brows furrowed deeply.

Since the three-body problem cannot be solved, then ...... In order for billions of people to survive without tossing, let civilization continue......

There's only one way to go.

Uproot.

Where to move?

You can't move to Earth!

Facing the queen's eyes, a wry smile rose at the corner of Ye Ming's mouth: "Your Majesty, it's useless for you to tell me this." The reason why the earth can accommodate the blue star people is because there are few of them...... But you billions ......"

"I'm talking about Sophie Four." The queen exhaled slowly, pursing her lips at the same time.

Ye Ming's eyes instantly froze!

Sophie 4, that is, the planet that is currently favored by the former enemy command, according to the detection of the scientific research department accompanying the ship ahead, determined that the planet did not give birth to a terrestrial high-tech civilization, but gave birth to a marine civilization - and the level of civilization is already in the tribal era, with a relatively complete writing system, and also has the ability to use tools.

It's just that they are used to living at the bottom of the sea, and they have not evolved the ability to walk and move on land.

And according to the modeling, if these underwater fishmen come to the land, then within a thousand years, they will inevitably evolve a fairly high civilization!

So much so that now mankind has been debating what status the undersea people on Sophie 4 should have.

And the queen actually said...... They want Sophie Four?

This......

Ye Ming inhaled deeply, his brows furrowed.

He is well aware of certain ideas about the human world.

Yang Wenzhi and their combined fleet seem to be counterattacking, but in fact, in a sense, what they are doing is to expand their territory!

Wherever human warships reach, there is the territory of humanity!

The Sophie system is now not only the battlefield for the Coalition and the Executor Legion, but also the home base for the Coalition fleet.

Humans have already built sanatoriums on top of it.

Even the first batch of domestic expedition members have already planted vegetables on the scientific expedition station below!

- Even if we take the oldest legal code of mankind, when humans grow food on a piece of land, it means that humanity has completed the colonization of that land.

It's good that the Krong people actually want this human colony?

And a good, livable colony?

This...... Even Ye Ming can't agree!

In silence, Ye Ming shook his head slowly.

"Your Majesty......" Ye Ming paused and then said softly: "We have traveled this way, there are really not many habitable planets, and it can even be said that they are extremely rare...... And as an interstellar civilization, we all know how important it is to have a naturally habitable planet. Therefore......"

Ye Ming knew that the queen knew that what she said was the truth.

He also knew that in order to win over the Krong people to form an alliance, the human race had made a lot of promises, including the sharing of the results of the war.

But this sharing is all about sharing resources and dividing up the enemy's lair. It can be seen that human beings are not very hands-free about habitable planets.

The queen hummed and nodded slightly.

She could understand the difficulty of making such a request to a human being, otherwise she would not have taken the lead in proposing it to Ye Ming, who was the best talker—she knew very well that although Ye Ming was not in the Commonwealth Parliament, he had no less influence than the head of the Parliament.

"Can you hear me what we think?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."
