The director of the Center for Human History Research was in the cockpit at that moment. He originally wanted to greet the governors and the other officials through the wide-angle system to inform them of their arrival, but he was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard the governors' alarm for an enemy attack and the scene of the whole nation fighting.
Once he realized the meaning behind the governor's words, he was shocked and asked in disbelief, "We brought the Zerg?"
The captain looked serious. "Dean, please wait a moment while I take a look."
Before he finished speaking, his fingers brushed across a key on the control panel.
In an instant, the holographic screen on the wide-angle observation deck changed from a sky full of yellow sand to a swarm of insectoids, and cold sweat immediately broke out on the captain's forehead.
But this was not the time to be in a daze. He immediately said, "Phoenix, please carry out precise destruction of these Zerg immediately."
"Phoenix received."
A fiery red projection appeared in the cockpit, followed by dazzling white light appearing on the wide-angle holographic screen.
Those Zerg creatures struck by the white light instantly vaporized and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The officials below, who were on high alert, fell silent upon seeing this scene.
Energy weapons are really useful, but they don't have them.
Looking at the cold weapon in his hand, which was chipped here and rolled there, the governor wiped his face and gritted his teeth, saying, "I swear, in my lifetime I will definitely, definitely, definitely get a starship equipped with a military mainframe and energy weapon system for planet E72."
Zhou Changsheng's eyes were almost red with envy. Hearing this, he replied, "Let's do it, even if we have to sell our pots and pans, sell our blood, sell our flesh, or sell our kidneys, we'll do it."
Tang Qingyun poured cold water on the situation, saying, "Kidneys aren't worth much."
"Furthermore, we are now in the era of big medical care. Artificial kidneys and artificial hearts are things that can be done in a minute. Except for a few impoverished planets, in an era of universal gene optimization, there is no market for organ trading."
"It's also illegal."
Gu Shiqian said calmly, "Think clearly, stop thinking about selling your blood, flesh, or kidneys to make money. Instead of wasting time on this and that, you should create more woven art pieces."
"Our major client contacted us again an hour ago to expedite the order."
Consul, "..."
The governor said "Oh," and then added, "If I remember correctly, didn't we just deliver the second batch of goods a week ago? Why are we urging them to place another order?"
"Market sales are so strong that supply cannot meet demand."
Gu Shiqian smiled slightly, "Elite and wealthy people all have good taste, and they have a deep love for our woven art pieces."
The governor understood immediately. He gave Gu Shiqian a big thumbs-up with a bright smile, "When it comes to sharp minds, you, Gu, are still the sharpest. Keep it up."
"Absolutely."
Gu Shiqian straightened his cuffs, which were worn with several holes, and said in a gentle tone, "As the treasurer of planet E72, I'm serious about making money."
They were indeed serious; otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of using survival on a desolate planet as a starting point to send Xiao Ningzi out.
Just as the governor was about to speak, Lu Qiaoli said irritably, "Old Qi, hurry up and dispel the enemy attack status. Everyone's waiting like idiots. If you don't dispel it soon, they'll all be tanned to two pounds of oil."
The governor, who had just realized that the alert had not yet been lifted, said "Oh" and hurriedly picked up the megaphone to announce, "Notification, notification, notification, the alert is lifted. Everyone go back to sleep and come out tonight."
So the two deans and the curator, who were searching for a suitable landing spot in the starship's cockpit, stared in disbelief as the native inhabitants of planet E72, wielding tattered cold weapons, disappeared into the yellow sand like mice burrowing into a hole.
This scene was even more spectacular than special effects, leaving the elite humans who were visiting planet E72 for the first time deeply impressed.
It feels like my worldview has been reshaped.
"Dean, how did they manage to find their sand shelter so accurately amidst the swirling yellow sand?"
"I asked a researcher at the Center for Human History Research with curiosity in his eyes," he said.
The dean shook his head. "I don't know."
To be honest, he doesn't have that ability.
"Perhaps this is the wisdom of the original inhabitants of planet E72!"
He looked quite emotional.
The crowd fell silent, looking at the governors and their men, who stood amidst the swirling yellow sand, their spirits high despite their appearance, and felt a deep sense of respect.
This is the group of people who gave up the opportunity to leave this planet and returned to their home planet to lead their compatriots to survive in hardship. They worked tirelessly for years, day after day, without fear of hardship or fatigue, and gave up their former elegance, humor, and glory all for the sake of their faith.
If even a group of people like this don't deserve our respect, then there are very few people in this world who do deserve our respect.
It's a pity that their achievements will remain buried for the rest of their lives, and will not be exposed to the public until the E72 completely resolves the crisis and rises to prominence.
The starship, which descended silently to a certain altitude, began a comprehensive inspection of planet E72.
Five minutes later, the mainframe's notification sounded.
"Dear passengers, we have arrived at planet e72."
"All basic values of the planet have been tested. It is 100% desert with a radiation level of 65%, which is 5% higher than the normal value. We recommend that you wear a protective suit."
"A suitable landing site has been detected. Delta will land in fifteen minutes."
"Please give instructions, Dean."
"Land according to your target."
The dean said in a deep voice.
"receive."
The Delta began its slow descent, and the other two starships followed suit.
As the altitude decreased, the true appearance of planet E72 became increasingly clear.
As far as the eye can see, there is only yellow sand, with occasional glimpses of green scattered very, very far apart.
In addition, there are sandworms undulating in the dunes.
A sandworm poked its head out from behind Gu Shiqian and leaped up to attack. However, just as the sandworm leaped out of the sand, a cold and sharp blade of light appeared out of thin air.
With a 'crack' sound, Gu Shiqian, who was moving quickly across the sand dune, drew out a sharp broadsword from his spatial storage and swiftly and accurately cleaved the sandworm in two.
The sandworm, its body split in two, writhed in agony on the dunes, but the governors, including Gu Shiqian, ignored the writhing corpses and instead launched a brutal massacre of the sandworms that leaped out after it.
They were all experts at killing sandworms, and in the midst of the flashing blades, all the sandworms were wiped out.
There was a pile of dead insects on the ground, and their deaths looked really gruesome, the kind that would give a little kid nightmares.
The dean and his colleagues also felt like they were about to have a nightmare. It was the first time they had ever faced such a shocking scene, and the sight of the sandworm corpses scattered all over the ground made them feel terrible.
"Are all purebred, original humans this powerful?"
The curator of the Museum of Human History murmured, "How come it seems that an elite race with fully optimized genes is not as good as primitive humans?"
The captain, his eyes sparkling, chimed in, "I always thought primitive humans were weaklings, but I never imagined their combat power was so formidable. It definitely feels like we're looking for a spar."
