Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

In Rhode Island, the office dedicated to Milin, the military commander-in-chief, looks very simple.

A not too big desk, a computer, and an office chair that looked like an ordinary office chair.

There are filing cabinets filled with various books and odds and ends, a sofa for guests, and an equally simple coffee table.

That's all there is to the Doctor's office, and since it's inside Rhode Island, there are no windows to let people breathe.

I have to say that the simplicity is a bit too plain, at least compared to the other offices and dormitories in Rhode Island that are so bizarre that they are indescribable.

It is completely inconsistent with the doctor's status as the military commander of Rhode Island... It sounds strange to have such a position in a pharmaceutical company, but with the umbrella company in front, it is not unacceptable.

Not to mention anything else, since he is the commander-in-chief of the military, he must put some swords, guns, swords and halberds in his office. If it is not possible, he can hang up a crossbow to show his strong martial virtue.

But Milin doesn't really care. Anyway, any style is the same to Milin.

After taking a look at the Saint Quartz and the Mind Cube placed in the filing cabinet, Milin shook his head slightly and sat on the chair... At least these model toys used as ornaments were in line with the identity of the natural disaster.

As soon as he sat down, there was no need to look for the power button. The computer screen on the desk in front of Milin automatically lit up. Along with PRTS appearing on the screen, an electronically synthesized female voice also sounded in Milin's ears.

"Welcome back, Doctor."

"Precious?" Looking at the PRTS characters that appeared on the startup screen, Milin recalled the conversation in the game:

Even if the oceans boil and the atmosphere disappears, even if our satellites fall into the vortex of gravity one after another, even if our sun expands ferociously and mercilessly eats its children until there is silence... we will still meet again.

At the end of civilization decorated with darkness and starlight, we will meet again.

Without discussing how much of a Riddler this passage is, who Precious is, and what the relationship is with the identity Milin is currently using.

At least this passage revealed a message, that is, this world of Terra once experienced an "extinction"

As for the way of extinction, it is very similar to the sun in this world turning into a red giant... But the question is, why can the sun change back after turning into a red giant?

Or Precious's words are just an exaggerated modifier, not the red giant star that the world actually encounters.

It is just explaining that the world has indeed encountered a crisis of great destruction level.

As for what kind of crisis it is, anyway, before Milin traveled through time, he had never spoken to anyone in Yingjiao. Now if he wants to know the setting of Yingjiao after that, he might not have to travel back in time to talk about it.

However, Milin remembered what Gray Feng mentioned, one of the reasons why the residents of this world produced bio-based minerals such as Origin Stone.

That is, there is nothing left... What on earth can make a civilization with very advanced technology, which can even allow consciousness to travel through multiple dimensions, encounter a situation of poverty with nothing?

After all, for most civilizations of this level, almost all energy comes from gifts from the sun.

Even if all fossil fuels are used up, solar energy, tidal energy, wind power, hydropower, and geothermal energy can still be used.

Even if there is a shortage of industrial raw materials, it is not that substitutes cannot be found, at most it is just not that convenient.

So, what is the situation that allows a civilization with this level of technology to produce such bio-based minerals?

Could it be that there really is something wrong with the sun? Or...this thing doesn't come with it?

Milin thought of the "Star Sand" mentioned by the evil navigation robot in his pocket.

Is this thing really like a Tiberium vein, absorbing all the resources of the planet itself?

While Milin was thinking about this, Amiya walked in with a pile of documents.

"Duang" The document, which was almost half a meter high, was placed on the desk in front of Milin by Amiya.

Milin, who came back from his thoughts, sighed that the physiques of these beast-eared girls in the Terra world were indeed extraordinary, and at the same time glanced at the computer next to the files with doubtful eyes.

Isn’t it already done electronically? Why still use these paper documents?

"Doctor, these are the documents after screening. Do you need me to get the expired ones?" Amiya said, not understanding what Milin's eyes meant.

"What kind of documents are they?" Milin asked Amiya, who did not continue to worry about whether Rhodes Island was an electronic office or a paper office.

"There are cooperation intentions between some other forces and organizations and Rhode Island, as well as various operations." Amiya said as she picked up the top document and handed it to Milin.

"...The Casimir Business Federation wants Rhode Island to invest in the next knight competition?" Looking at the title on the document, Milin looked at Amiya with a puzzled look.

The last time there was a lot of trouble between Rhodes Island and the Casimir Chamber of Commerce, even Dr. Milin was under house arrest for a period of time.

What makes these profit-seekers want Rhode Island to continue to be trapped?

Milin, who continued to watch while complaining in his mind, subconsciously stretched his hand to one side and touched nothing.

Seeing Mi Lin's actions, Amiya, who had originally planned to convey the words of the Casimir Chamber of Commerce messenger, quickly walked aside, poured a cup of hot water from a sky blue hot water bottle with a Rhodes Island label and handed it to Mi Lin. Lin's hands.

Although he is the supreme leader of Rhode Island, he has been doing the work of serving tea and water.

Milin took a drink from the water glass and looked at the contents of the document, with a playful smile on his face and said:

"It seems that those knight masters have scared these capitalists quite hard... Well, this is quite in line with this world."

Milin remembers that in the plot, the Chamber of Commerce, which was forced into exile by the Knights of Casimir's Border Guards, made a big show of saying that time and the people were on their side.

As long as there are enough of Casimir's high-speed warships and Casimir's goods fill the counters of all national stores, there will be no war and no need for knights.

As a result, the politely worded document in Milin's hand was filled with the desire to survive. He also expressed the hope that Rhode Island could look at their past friendship and provide high-end combat forces to help them fight against those bankers. Gun Pegasus.

It can only be said that in a world like Terra where there are strong men who can destroy cities with one strike, combat power is also a kind of productivity and is an extremely important part of the production relationship.

Let’s not talk about how these business associations view a “pharmaceutical company” like Rhode Island.

The question is where does the past relationship come from? Is it reasonable to put Dr. Mirin under house arrest in the guild hall? Or the love that almost assassinated the doctor's beloved horse?

Knight Yao is standing at the door right now. If Milin signs this document, he might not be able to just rush in with Zhu Ye Shuoguang.

Milin, who continued reading with the intention of reading a joke, finally understood why the Chamber of Commerce had the courage to come forward.

Franchise rights, board of directors status, the use of three high-speed warships, and a part of the administrative rights of the Grand Knights of Cavaleliaki.

This is no longer a simple exchange of interests, this is already planning to sell yourself at a good price.

You must know that what is written in this kind of letter of intent must be the bottom line. If you are willing, you can negotiate more benefits.

In doing so, it can only be said that the Federation of Commerce regards Rhode Island as the last straw.

Even if Milin didn't know what happened to Casimir now, he could still sense the panic of the Casimir Business Federation in the face of these exchanged benefits.

Even if Rhode Island agrees to "aid" the Federation of Commerce for these interests, with the power of Rhode Island, the Federation of Commerce will be completely reshuffled.

"When is this document from?" Milin raised his head and looked at Amiya and asked.

"Half a month ago." Amiya replied.

"Half a month? e..." Milin nodded. At this delicate time, it is very likely that the people of Casimir already know something that should be considered top secret in theory... maybe they have heard something. .

Kelsey's level of confidentiality...except for being a Riddler, it doesn't exist.

"Ella, what do you think?" Milin asked subconsciously, thinking about these things.

"Huh??" Amiya looked confused.

"Oh...she's not here." Milin, who noticed that he was speechless, showed a somewhat emotional expression.

If Ella were here, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to package up and sell the people from the Chamber of Commerce and have them count the money for her.
