Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1413 - 1378: The Refugee Tide
"Ah?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Slan Dynasty was dumbfounded. Although this life space was extremely large, so much so that the word vast wasn't an exaggeration, it still wasn't enough to accommodate all the intelligent species of the Cangqiong Star Civilization.
Princess Lin Ziyu originally thought Chen Fei would use the multiple life planets he controlled for dispersal, but unexpectedly he only suggested this piece beneath their feet... a continent?
"It's now a planet!"
Besides Artificial Intelligence AI, Chen Fei was the only one who knew about this secret; even Brown and the others around him had no idea.
Princess Lin Ziyu Slan's beautiful eyes opened wider and wider; the little brother from the Chen Family was starting to talk nonsense again. What did you do?
A mere mortal creating a planet, and a life planet at that, does this make any sense?
Is this even human talk?
Setting aside the facts is obviously not right, Chen Fei took out a tablet and started connecting to the satellite network in the Weightless Zone.
The satellites floating within the Weightless Zone naturally surrounded the entire newborn planet, automatically defining clocks and time zones, as if that was their original purpose.
A planet surrounded by faint white light appeared on the tablet's screen, near the boundary where light and dark meet, some light dots flickered in great order. They were not natural celestial bodies, but satellites floating at weightless heights.
Within the atmosphere complexly diffused by the Tyndall effect, the land and ocean pieced together by green and blue were striking, yet surrounded by vast seas of clouds with clear borders. Deep in the clouds, flashes occasionally appeared, either isolated or connected, creating visual effects caused by volcanic eruptions and lightning. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Chen Fei chose the central position of the green land, gently sliding his finger over the screen, continuously enlarging the image. The view on the tablet gradually approached the ground, becoming clearer. A ring of dark green forest area, neatly arrayed airship formations, visibly distinct Stargates on the ground, encircled around the forest area, people clearly visible.
Princess Lin Ziyu grabbed the tablet from Chen Fei's hands and held it high, her vision encompassed both the screen and the sky.
The view gazed from outside the atmosphere was precisely her silhouette holding the tablet with both hands; even her uncertain and suspicious expression on her face was utterly clear. She immediately swiped the screen, continuously zooming out, returning the view to outside the atmosphere, then panning up, down, left, and right, circling the entire planet rapidly through the relay of satellites.
"Why can I only see one continent and one ocean?"
Princess Lin Ziyu returned the tablet to Chen Fei, having confirmed she saw a complete planet, without stars or other planets, without seeing the endless stars, seemingly within an immensely vast enclosed space.
Despite having many other questions, such as the disappearance of the enormous mountain-like tree, viewing Chen Fei as "hundreds of thousands of whys" was clearly not inappropriate at this moment; there were more important matters.
"Because it's just been created not long ago and hasn't fully stabilized yet. Volcanic ash and water vapor clouds float on the ground and sky, forming a wide range of aerosols. It probably needs another half to one year to evolve into a habitable environment."
Chen Fei estimated that since the Star Core was ready, even though it would take a long time to slightly adjust the interior of the planet, the crust part could stabilize quickly. Occasional minor tremors were insignificant; at worst, limit high-rise buildings or set high standards for foundation designs to ensure the safety of densely populated areas. Furthermore, frequent seismic zones could be set in uninhabited areas, so even if they shook heaven and earth, they would not affect the economic and industrial zones, and the agricultural and pastoral zones wouldn't care about minor tremors occurring every few days.
"A planet can still be created..."
Her Royal Highness the Princess felt her worldview completely overturned.
Creating planets is likely something even the "Sagali" civilization can't achieve. With such ability, why bother devouring life planets everywhere; they could be entirely self-sufficient.
Chen Fei spread open his hands, helplessly saying: "Only within this life space, I have no way elsewhere."
In reality, the credit goes to the Domain Barrier of the "Life Tree," but Chen Fei didn't know that the upgraded "Life Tree" already possessed reproductive capabilities. By planting part of the "Life Tree" in other external locations, it was similarly possible to expand new Domain Barriers, making planet creation not impossible.
Everything requires daring attempts, but Chen Xiao'er was just a mere mortal. Having such or such abilities and executing them practically were often two different things.
"Half a year to a year should be enough, needs to be prepared immediately!"
Since Princess Lin Ziyu chose to believe Chen Fei's words, she had to seriously consider the feasibility of a comprehensive migration next.
Transferring all the intelligent races from the Cangqiong Star to the newborn planet in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space wasn't a process that could be completed overnight; it would likely take several years. Therefore, the preparation time on Chen Fei's end wasn't an issue.
She quickly thought of the worst possibility and asked again: "If this planet can't accommodate everyone, do you have other places as backups?"
"In theory, it's sufficient. But if such a situation arises, there's another ready planet that can be used as a backup, just needs to be tidied up properly. Well, it shouldn't be a problem for you."
The number of intelligent species the Cangqiong Star can accept is within the ideal range derived from Artificial Intelligence AI simulations and still allows for a certain margin. However, simulation is just simulation and cannot completely reflect reality. If plans can't keep up with changes in reality, Chen Fei still has an extra plan B. He controls two life planets: the Emerald Star of the No.1 Star System and Antalu Star, the ancestral land of the "Sagali" civilization in the No.2 Star System, with the Emerald Star being more suitable for direct migration. However, its nuclear winter dust clouds and numerous remaining biological combat weapons, along with residual "Seed Nests," need to be eliminated. The Cangqiong Star Civilization is not short of the corresponding technical means and human resources.
The other life planet, Antalu, having been thoroughly looted by the "Sagali" civilization prior to their migration, has an extremely harsh ecosystem despite natural restoration efforts over countless years, maintained by the "Seed Nest" McKenny. Each surviving species struggles for survival.
Princess Lin Ziyu cautiously asked: "Is it really possible? I mean, our Slan Dynasty might not be able to bear such a huge cost."
Regardless of this newborn planet beneath their feet or the other life planet proposed as a backup, they were both Chen Fei's private property. Now, the Cangqiong Star Civilization faces an existential crisis. The Slan Dynasty can't refuse Chen Fei's goodwill but dares not freely take advantage again without restraint.
Initially, the emergency plan only included some important personnel, including the Royal Family, with negotiations and interest exchanges to secure refuge slots in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space and Blue Star. Even with all efforts and resources exhausted, they couldn't cater to everyone. Those without the capacity to leave Cangqiong Star could only entrust their lives to fate.
"Survival first, discuss the rest later!"
Chen Fei waved dismissively; human life was paramount. The countless intelligent species of Cangqiong Star needed to transfer over for safety as early as possible.
Back when the Slan Royal Family supported him, no one calculated too much. They provided alchemical artifacts when needed, packed up spell arrays and alchemical materials without reservation, and included professional researchers in soul energy teams, not just composed of high-ranked individuals but even loads of dead prisoners, generously offering heads. Offering peaches in return for plums—both sides had established a deep mutual understanding beyond words (including murdering one's father?).
"I'll leave it to you then!"
Princess Lin Ziyu had already started calculating in her mind how to further strengthen relations.
Once migration officially commenced, both the Slan Dynasty and the Cangqiong Star Civilization would begin living under someone else's roof. If they wished for a better life, flattering actions were inevitable.
The inherently elevated Royal Family and Chen Xiao'er, a mere commoner, had their social standings reversed.
"Sure, easy to say!"
In truth, Chen Xiao'er was restless deep down despite his composed surface. He demonstrated remarkable generosity even after chopping off the heads of people's fathers and calmly chatting with their daughters. What else could he ask for? >.<!
The "Sagali" civilization had spent tens of thousands of years subtly parasitizing the Cangqiong Star celestial body. Now, this massive hidden danger was near eruption, with the strong earthquakes near Imperial Capital Delan City being one of the signs. Although people didn't know how the parasitic species planned to devour both the planet and the intelligent species, that scenario would certainly exceed everyone's imaginations in its brutality.
After chatting a bit with Princess Lin Ziyu, the female juvenile Metallic Dragon Yilan called through, and as soon as the connection was established, her enraged voice came through.
"'Rookie,' the Dragon Breeding Garden is done for!"
