Fate is so twisty and strange.

Fang Zheng now had to believe this sentence. He finally knew where this galaxy was.

Well, in traditional terms, this should be "A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."

Oh, by the way, this subtitle must appear diagonally upwards. This is the key point, so remember it.

"Any questions, sir?"

Seeing Fang Zheng in a daze, Luke asked curiously, and Fang Zheng came back to his senses and swallowed the words "I'm your father" on his lips.

"Oh, nothing, I just thought the name was cool... Well, let me introduce them to you. These ladies are my companions. This one is Eriri..."

Fang Zheng also changed the subject and introduced his people to Luke, and what followed was naturally a cultural exchange.

In fact, after learning Luke's name, Fang Zheng already had a general understanding of the situation in this world, which was part of his childhood anyway. But strictly speaking, he himself was not a fanatical fan of this work, so he was not very familiar with the situation here.

If some fanatical fans came over, they might even strip the underwear of this world, but as for Fang Zheng... now he can only get some information from Luke.

But at the moment, Luke was just a young man living in a remote area. He naturally knew more about the things here than Fang Zheng, but it was still very limited. However, even so, Fang Zheng and others also obtained a lot of information from Luke.

For example, regarding the currency issue here - well, there is no FBI in this world that can make Fang Zheng take advantage of it, which makes him somewhat dissatisfied.

As for alien races, this star field is even more diverse, with all kinds of species. Compared with the Milky Way in the Mass Effect world, which has obviously been fixed in order, this galaxy has more troubles, but fortunately, unlike the Mass Effect world, this galaxy is currently under the rule of the Galactic Empire and is relatively stable.

Fang Zheng didn't care about the mess between the Galactic Empire and the Resistance. It's true that the Galactic Empire wasn't a good guy, but the Resistance wasn't a good guy either. In fact, considering the current situation of the entire universe, Fang Zheng was more on the side of the Galactic Empire. No matter how brutal and tyrannical the Galactic Empire was, at least its combat power was unmatched, and it also guaranteed the absolute dominance of humans in this galaxy. This was very important to Fang Zheng. Look at the world of Mass Effect. Humans paid so much, but in the end they were still miserable in the Citadel Council... If they knew the situation of the Galactic Empire, I wonder how envious they would be.

However, the New Republic established after the Rebellion was in disarray, and even made large-scale disarmament to demonstrate its "peace and justice". Fang Zheng said that if a Reaper invaded, the Galactic Empire might still survive, but the New Republic would probably be beaten so badly that even its grandmother would not recognize it.

As for whether the Galactic Empire had aggressive attributes, Fang Zheng had no idea. After all, he had only seen the movie, and in the movie, the Galactic Empire was always suppressing rebellions, suppressing rebellions, and suppressing rebellions again and again... Well, how did that sentence go? Either it was suppressing a rebellion, or it was on its way to suppressing a rebellion...

So should we cooperate with the Galactic Empire?

This question has been lingering in Fang Zheng's mind since he saw Luke. Considering the threat of Chaos, Fang Zheng does not need an idiotic alliance that holds high the banner of peace and justice but cannot even manage its own backyard. In comparison, the Galactic Empire has stronger military strength and is more likely to survive the threat of Chaos. Fang Zheng believes that if he explains the situation of Chaos to them, the Galactic Empire should be able to respond correctly to a certain extent.

As for the New Republic...well, sorry, Founder doesn't have any expectations for their IQ.

It is true that in the process of suppressing the rebellion, the Galactic Empire killed many innocent civilians and destroyed several planets with the Death Star. But on the other hand, if Fang Zheng could help the Galactic Empire suppress the rebellion in the shortest possible time, then wouldn't these innocent planets and civilians not have to die?

As for what life was like for civilians under the rule of the Galactic Empire, the movie did not go into detail, but instead emphasized the Galactic Empire's militarism and dictatorship - well, that's a good point, but Palpatine was democratically elected.

Just like Hitler.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Fang Zheng's mind, and he needed more information before he could make a decision. After that, Fang Zheng repaired the dilapidated hovercraft for Luke's family as agreed.

In fact, there is no need to repair it, just go back to the latest status.

The brand new hovercraft also greatly surprised Luke and the others. To express their gratitude, they also gave Fang Zheng and the others star maps of this star field and some devices and systems for communication - well, this was very helpful to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng did not stay with the protagonist Luke for long, because he could feel that someone was watching them from a distance, so Fang Zheng just chatted with them, sat for a while, and then turned around and left on the battleship.

“Where do we go next?”

Back in the starry sky, Ying Lili asked curiously, and Fang Zheng thought for a moment.

"I plan to go to the Galactic Empire and talk to Darth Vader."

"Eh? The Galactic Empire?"

Illya was visibly uneasy about this.

"But from what Mr. Luke said, this Empire isn't a good guy... What if they want to capture us?"

"Whether they are good people or not is none of our business, and his personal opinion does not mean anything."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at the girls in front of him and raised a finger.

"Remember, what we have to do is observe, investigate, research, and then make a decision. Don't just believe what others say. To the rebels, the Galactic Empire is naturally the unforgivable villain. And to the Galactic Empire, the rebels who set fire to their own backyard all day long are no different from cockroaches. However, don't forget that as a political entity, the first thing we have to do is to negotiate with the legitimate supreme ruler of the outside world - no matter how the other party came to power, they are the certified legal ruling body after all."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"So you understand? Maybe the Galactic Empire is quite cruel to its own people, but we are not from this country. Only the people of this country are qualified to decide their future. All we can do is watch. Of course, if they want us to provide assistance, that's another matter."

"But it seems that we have nothing to negotiate with them."

Hearing this, Eriri frowned.

"Dad once said that the negotiation between countries is based on interests... But is there any interest exchange between our Tiandao Palace and the Galactic Empire?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"We don't have shipping or trade with the Galactic Empire, and we don't need mutual support at the political level. We also lack the foundation for an alliance - well, the same is true for the Resistance. So we have to remember our position. We are not saviors, nor are we some fat blue guy who will be dispatched when someone cries out 'Daddy, save me'. Remember, once we intervene in this war, we will pay with the lives of the Tiandao Palace, but we will not get any equivalent response, so I will not do this kind of loss-making business."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ying Lili did not speak, while Illya and Xiao Hei looked at each other and also remained silent. They had all experienced the war in District 11 in the mecha world. Well... since then, the little ones have been very wary of this so-called "justice" and "resistance".

But Shokuhou Misaki obviously has a different opinion.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you shouldn't say this in front of Misaka Mikoto. That muscular girl won't listen."

"That's why I didn't bring her here, but she will have to face all this sooner or later."

Fang Zheng deeply agreed with what Shokuhou Misaki said. If it were Misaka Mikoto, she would probably jump up and shout that she wanted to overthrow the Galactic Empire after hearing these things.

"So what do we do now?"

"Well... I have a bold idea..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then opened his personal terminal and contacted Nymph.

"Nymph, analyze the star map and find a planet called Alderan. Send the probe to explore around Alderan. We should be able to find a man-made fortress. Hack its communication system and contact the administrators there, inform them of our origins, and apply to negotiate with them."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Nymph nodded and quickly took action, while Fang Zheng folded his arms. This was also a test of the Galactic Empire. Fang Zheng had not seen the two robots in Luke's house before, which meant that the plot had not yet begun. If this was the case... maybe he would have a chance to save the unfortunate planet.

Moreover, this was also a test for the Galactic Empire to show its technological level. After all, if Fang Zheng remembered correctly, the Galactic Empire's secret weapon, the Death Star, had not yet been fully built. If he could directly contact this secret artificial satellite from outside the Milky Way, then if the Galactic Empire had a few reliable scientific researchers, they would be able to understand how big the gap in strength between the two sides was.

Of course, Fang Zheng wasn't sure whether the Galactic Empire would use this thing as a show of force to scare him, but it didn't matter.

They made their choice and they have to bear the consequences.
