"It will take twenty or thirty years to complete?"
"Yes."
Louis nodded. "That's fast. It could take forty or fifty years if it's slow."
Sang Ning, however, felt that the time was about right. It would be good to wait until they had developed their home planet before bringing the national treasure back home.
that is--
"Once the conservation measures are completed, can I bring the giant panda home?"
"Yes, but the procedures are very complicated."
Furthermore, given the relationship between the centralized power and planet E72, things are unlikely to go smoothly.
Oh, you say giant pandas are native to your planet E72, but it turns out they were discovered on a planet completely unrelated to E72.
Even if planet E72 was once the home of giant pandas, that was then, not now.
Therefore, Louis and his group felt that Suning's idea of bringing the giant panda home was unlikely to come true.
However, nothing is absolute. "If that day really comes, we can help you with the paperwork."
Sang Ning has no powerful backers, but they do.
Leaving aside the fact that Emmanuel was at least a general in the garrison, he still had some influence as the father of bio-mechanical systems.
Even if all else fails, there's still Monet and the others.
If none of these people show up, there's no need to rush. Just use all of Qin Heng's connections; I don't believe we can't handle it.
"Then I'll be counting on you guys."
Sang Ning didn't mince words with them and bluntly stated, "I have no money and no connections. According to your logic, I have no chance of bringing the giant pandas home on my own."
"No need for formalities."
There's really no need for formalities, it's just—
"Old Gu, does this girl think we're dead?"
Having finally climbed up, the governor overheard Sang Ning saying she wanted to take the giant panda home. After listening to the three's conversation, she turned to ask Gu Shiqian.
“We’re definitely not dead, but we’ve been living on planet E72 for years, fighting against the yellow sand worms every day. It’s normal that the girl doesn’t know us well enough.”
At this point, Gu Shiqian hesitated and said, "But that's not the point. The point is, what's the deal with Ningning saying she's taking the giant panda home?"
"Weren't they extinct long ago?"
That's a really good question.
The governor felt he couldn't answer the question, so he said, "Forget about it, let's look through the chat history and see what's going on."
"OK."
So the two started scrolling through the comments, and what they found was quite astonishing. While giant pandas were indeed extinct in the inner realm, Emmanuel and his companions had actually discovered both giant and small pandas on an unknown planet in the outer realm, which they hadn't explored much.
This is truly a wonderful surprise.
"Now that giant pandas and red pandas have been discovered, is it possible that other national treasures are also thriving on some unknown planet?"
The consul could not hide his excitement.
Gu Shiqian thought this was quite likely, after all, the universe is vast.
No one can be certain which life-bearing planets exist in those star regions yet to be explored by intelligent life, or whether there will be overlap among the organisms living on those life-bearing planets. These are all unknowns.
If the giant and red pandas hadn't appeared, he wouldn't have had this confidence, but now—
"I think we can look forward to it."
The governor nodded and said to Gu Shiqian, "The survival challenge on the desolate planet is almost over. Shouldn't we hurry over to Yellow Star to pick up Ningning?"
"The production team probably wouldn't be so kind as to take her home so easily, would they?!"
It's too far. There are several transfer routes along the way. Let alone driving, even buying a ticket for a long-distance starship back from the Central Star Region is extremely expensive. The production team felt it was unlikely to work.
Moreover, "I'm also worried that the old geezer will drag our Ningning into the New World Project."
This was a very serious problem, which made Gu Shiqian, who had originally planned not to pick up Sang Ning and was going to let her go home on her own, anxious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You keep an eye on things at home. I'll set off now to pick up Ning Ning and take her home."
"Go to the central star to pick her up. We can't let her get involved in the New World Project."
"You can go in, but Ningning has to be the leader and have a say. Forget about the little bastards. They have no autonomy and have to follow orders. How can they conduct research to treat genetic diseases like that?"
"If all else fails, we'll use our best-kept secrets to set up a lab for her and let her do her own research."
That's a good idea, but the most urgent thing is to pick them up first.
Once you've received the person, everything becomes much easier, and follow-up plans can be developed gradually. Talking about these things before you've received the person is pointless.
"Go quickly and borrow the starship from the Center for Human History Research."
The governor set his sights on the Center for Human History Research, arguing, "They're always sitting here doing research. I doubt they'll produce anything in seven or eight years. It would be better to let them borrow a starship to pay for their research."
Gu Shiqian's lips twitched slightly. "I can't operate the starship of the Human History Research Center. Not only the Human History Research Center, but I also can't operate the starships of the other two departments."
"That's not suitable for single or dual operation; one person can't handle it."
"If you want to borrow this, you'll have to borrow their captain, vice-captain, and everyone else as well. Otherwise, I'll just take the small private starship that Monet and the others donated!"
“You don’t need to worry about these things. I’ll talk to them. You should focus on getting the flight route approved first.”
Within the Milky Way, you can fly freely, but once you cross it, you can't. Every starship on the route needs to apply for a route in advance and depart according to the timeline. If you mess around and cause an accident, the route will be destroyed, the ship will be destroyed, and everyone on board will die.
The interstellar forces couldn't even arrive in time to rescue them. If they were lucky, they might be able to escape through a life pod and survive; if they were unlucky, they would simply be swept away by the tides.
Therefore, applying for flight routes is very important.
Gu Shiqian nodded, "Okay, you go talk to them, I'll apply for the flight route."
So the governor ran off to discuss borrowing starships and people with the Center for Human History Research.
Gu Shiqian, on the other hand, joined the Star Navigation Administration and applied for a flight route.
The approval process won't be quick; it will take at least an hour or so. Gu Shiqian wasn't in a hurry. While waiting for the approval, he sent a message to Sang Ning on the live stream—
[Ningning, isn't your survival adventure on this desolate planet pretty much over?!]
Worried that Sang Ning might miss him amidst the flood of comments, Gu Shiqian added another message—
[I forgot to mention, I'm your Uncle Gu.]
A bright, special effects barrage, along with the words "Grandpa Gu," stood out among the many barrage comments.
Sang Ning was immediately amused. "Grandpa, I'm almost done here. Once we eliminate McIntyre and the others, we can leave the wasteland and head to the central star region. Are you coming to pick me up, Grandpa?"
Emmanuel and his group, "..."
What do you mean by "Are you coming to pick me up?"
Does that mean if people from planet E72 come out and then go back, the government of planet E72 will send someone to pick them up?
【catch! 】
[The old man has already applied for the flight route. Once the application is approved, he will depart. See you at Central Star then!]
