Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The closer you get to it, the more you can feel the desire of human civilization to change places and conquer the cosmos. To this day, two orbital docks have been built that revolve around the planet, and the "Third Ring" is under construction - this super dock and cosmopolitan city, like an arcuate long bow, has just begun to impress Li Yiu most, because only by seeing the busy starships and workers around this ring dock can he completely believe that the first two are magnificent, even at the cosmic scale, revealing their own glowing objects, also from the hands of humans who look like ants or even slightly dusty!

The carriers were getting closer and closer to the first day ring, and they shut off their power and let themselves be locked and captured by the Spiritual Magnetic Array of the first day ring, drifting with the waves towards the port.

More and more starships are appearing around them, even with the naked eye, to see the badges and starships painted on each other's ships, and compared to the main ships of these supermassive carriers, engineering ships and the Federation fleet, their carriers are slightly thin, and sometimes several giant ships dump at them like mountains of maze, with the feeling of crushing them into thin pieces, but under the command and guidance of a spiritual magnetic field, they do not rush to plunder from their heads, like lazy white whales.

“Oops! ”

Many of the people who lived on the Firefly all their lives, who were born alone, growing up and aging in the star sea, were shocked and overwhelmed by the magnificent flames of light sparked by at least a thousand clusters of starships.

In this tumultuous exclamation, they overtook the second home port of the Federation Ace “The Original Fleet" and were also the largest starship refinery base in the "New Quartet".

A solemn, inviolable starship, all fresh in armor, polished smoother than a mirror, with no sign of half-silk scratched by starscraps.

Under the sun and the flames of thousands of starships around them, they reflected a deep dark golden light, like a ridge of infinite power.

Underneath the orbital dock behind them, countless steel tentacles stretched all the way down to the atmosphere of Uranus until they penetrated deep into the underground veins of Uranus and extracted a variety of metallic and crystalline resources directly into the dock.

And there are countless star dots around, and the light is flying towards the rings, like meteors conquered, manipulated and exploited by humans - asteroids that were manually mined, originally part of the planet of resources, mining and smelting on the planet of resources, but then an easier way to explode a part of the planet of resources directly, installing power units on it, pushing them directly into the vicinity of the rings, bringing together mining, smelting, manufacturing and assembly, greatly improving the refining efficiency of the ships.

If you draw the detection distance of the lens eye infinitely closer, you can see some of the details of the celestial ring on the blurred image. At such a distance, the smooth, beautiful, all-in-one feeling of the celestial ring disappears completely. It turns into a steel jungle with a girly fork. Like the firefly under overhaul, there are countless "branches” made of super strong alloys erected from the surface, and the ends of the branches are separated from the new branches, so that they continue to “grow” until the end of the "thinnest” branches, collectively occupying every bit of space except the channel, connect a starship that is being repaired or refined.

In this sense, some of these “branches” are like umbilical cords, “celestial rings”, planetary giants that collect and devour metals, minerals, crystals, and everything from celestial rings and hundreds of resource planets for a second, chewed and digested, and transformed into new nutrients that continue to be transmitted to starships through these "umbilical cords", giving birth to one iron giant after another that is about to cause a shock wave in the universe.

Such images are not “natural” at all, but very “human”.

The carrier was slowly connected to a "branch" extending from Tianhuan, the first stop of the delegation, the "Tianhuan War Memorial Museum”.

War is the ultimate eruption of the full potential, goodwill and malice of a civilization.

Through war, the true face of a civilization can be learned in the shortest possible time.

That's why people from the middle of the star sea chose the first stop, a “communication committee” made up of people from the federal government, the military, cultivation sects and academia, where they were greeted with enthusiasm.

Because of the delicate and even embarrassing relationship between the “Republic of the Stars and the Federation of the Glory", coupled with the intense state of readiness of the Federation, both sides agreed to explore practical issues in this exchange and negotiation, setting aside the controversy over the "Grand Names”.

That is why the mission was not ostensibly of a high rank, with the banner of a purely “election observation mission", which, in turn, minimized the colour of the Government and the military - at least initially - by sending “communication committees” from the federal side.

Li Yao did not find any acquaintances in the communication committee, which also saved him the difficulty of dealing with old acquaintances.

Measuring with interest the new generation of federals across the street, he discovered that perhaps it was a complete transition from planetary civilization to star sea civilization, and that the new generation of federations were more slender, taller and lighter, as if they could swim freely in the stars and oceans with a single leap.

Men, women and children, they are all full of spirits, with golden eyes, hands raised and words spoken, confident to an almost sharp degree.

In terms of their clothing, in addition to the indistinguishable uniforms of uniformed officers, civilians are basically from all worlds —— including ghost repairs in the underworld -- and many others have demonic characteristics, such as spiritual rabbit ears, cat-like green eyes, and so on, which others don't expect.

It seems that over the past 100 years, the new Federation will be very thorough in implementing integration policies.

Under their guidance, Li Yao swimmed through the "Heavenly Circle War Memorial Museum” and felt the war thirty years ago through simulation games in the then-physical, official and soldiers' war logs and even too illusory circumstances.

He had studied the details of the Tianhuan War a long time ago on the Firefly, but he very much liked the way the new Confederates described the war - calm, objective, slightly restrained, not too much depicting the ugliness and evil of the "Tianhuan", but merely faithfully documented everything as sketchy, even in one part of it, and conceived several solutions that would completely avert the war through too illusory a landscape.

Only a true winner can be so calm and restrained, even confident enough to begin reflection.

Seeing a scene in the War Memorial Museum, Li Yao finally believed that the Federation had completely integrated and assimilated the Tianhuan Realm, and that the world had become an integral part of the Xingyao Federation.

Until the exit of the memorial, he saw a statue.

The statue is not portrayed as an inspirational scene for the victor, but as a young woman with a dark, lonely face, with a ragged shirt and a dirty little girl, who looked up together and stared silently in front of her.

In their eyes, across the street is a slow rolling, endless list of people who died in the "Tianhuan War”.

In this way, the women and little girls in the statue, as if they were searching their loved ones' names with all their attention, are undoubtedly disturbed and intricate.

The list is divided into three columns, in three different colors, and records all the Tianjin, Disha and Confederate peoples who died in the war.

This detail kept Li Yao in front of the statue, silently flavoring it for a long time.

The accompanying commentator saw how interested he was in the statue, introducing it: “The sad woman on the statue is the bell of Tianhuan, whom we as the ‘liberators'. ”

Li Yao: "Huh? ”

Explainer: “After the Tianhuan War ended, our liberated Disha people wanted to set up a tall and vivid statue for Dingbell, but she insisted, to say the least, to barely agree, but said that it was up to her to decide the shape of the statue. Finally, instead of choosing such a cross knife, she chose such a small, blind statue, to minimize her appearance, not even allow her name to be engraved, and put it at the exit of the War Memorial Museum. If she didn't say it, few people could recognize that it was actually a 'Federation god of war'. ”

Li Yaoqiao looked at the statue with its soft eyes filled with soft women. His thoughts seemed to drift back to that year. During the Great Waste War Courtyard, Ding Zheng was drunk and had a nervous breakdown. Like a lonely little girl, he held himself and cried in his arms for a long time. He smelled...

Explainer: “This next to her is her daughter. ”

Li Yao: “Ah! ”

Explainer: “She was adopted in the Tianhuan War. The parents of the little girl were her comrades during the uprising in the underground mines. Unfortunately, they all died in the war. ”

Li Yao: "... is there anything else you can say? ”

Explainer: "That's it. Are you sick, Representative Lin? ”

The tour of the Tianhuan War Memorial concludes with senior officers from the delegation discussing the details of the formation of the joint battalion with the senior military staff of the Federal Army.

Li Yao had no knowledge of the battle of the vast army of thousands of armies. There was no need to waste time. Meng Chen, Han Batling, Chi Changsheng and Zhu Zongyu, the Phoenix Emperor, were interested in the path of battle formation slaughter.

Li Yao, through Choi Lingfeng, placed several positions for them in the Senior Officers Corps. It is also on behalf of the Speaker to follow the establishment of the Joint Operations Battalion.

As for Li Yao himself, he has more important areas and can't wait to learn more about them.
