A tachyon signal was sent from the Earth and quickly transmitted to the fleet ahead.
At the same time, the previously neatly arranged fleet began to move slowly, revealing a huge "planet" hidden within it.
It was a standard-sized ice giant, encased in a thick layer of armor.
In the eyes of previous human civilizations, this armor, with its surface covered in dense neutron material, was like a miracle.
But now...
Compared to the starships around it, this ice giant star was like a small mud-brick house surrounded by skyscrapers, backward and shabby.
A spatial fluctuation came, and the ice giant star slowly moved forward along the passage cleared by the human fleet—after human civilization advanced to the seventh level, the drive system of the imperial home planet was perfectly repaired.
...
[The esteemed Tenth Empire extends its highest respects to you.]
Welcome to human civilization.
The tachyon information from the human fleet was projected onto the fog and seen by every Tenth Reich soldier.
Looking at the massive human fleet projected on the screen, every Imperial soldier revealed a degree of amazement.
Diplomatic rhetoric is all empty talk; only the welcoming fleet is real.
The sheer size of the welcoming fleet demonstrates the importance that human civilization places on the Tenth Empire.
Undoubtedly, this instilled a sense of pride in every member of the Tenth Empire.
"It must be admitted that the strength of human civilization has far surpassed that of the empire."
An electromagnetic wave message from the Emperor of the Empire echoed within the flagship, and the atmosphere inside the ship suddenly became somewhat heavy.
No one wants to fall behind.
Not to mention the Tenth Empire, which has always held a high position.
Being overtaken is not scary; what is scary is that the civilization that overtakes you was just a small, level-six civilization a few thousand years ago!
"empire……"
The emperor sighed incomprehensibly, then raised his tentacle and pressed a few buttons on the complex control panel in front of him.
[The esteemed human civilization, the Tenth Empire...]
Before he could finish editing the message, an alarm signal indicating a strong spatial-temporal fluctuation interrupted his actions.
The densely packed human fleet slowly dispersed, revealing a planetary fortress hidden within.
A strong sense of familiarity immediately welled up in the hearts of every empire's people!
The slightly noisy electromagnetic waves inside the flagship dissipated completely at that moment.
Every member of the Empire fell silent!
This, this is...
The emperor subconsciously stopped editing the message.
His tentacles trembled slightly, revealing the turmoil in his heart.
"The Imperial Mother Planet..."
An electromagnetic signal from the Emperor of the Empire broke the silence within the flagship!
Wow!!!
Like a signal, at that moment, every Imperial warship was filled with incredibly noisy electromagnetic waves!
"Mother planet... Mother planet!!!"
"By the Emperor's grace, I can't even remember what my home planet looks like anymore..."
"Is this the Empire's home planet...?"
"It looks exactly like the image recorded in the footage..."
Countless exclamations, a mixture of confusion and joy, echoed within the ship.
As the Imperial homeworld drew ever closer, a massive amount of tachyon information was continuously transmitted to the Imperial fleet!
A full 210,000 years of log information!
Each log entry signifies the lonely years the Imperial homeworld spent in the Milky Way!
A supernova explodes, internal parts are destroyed one by one, the artificial intelligence [Ten] does its best to repair the fortress, the [Ten Descendants] are born, and the original civilization protection agreement is triggered...
Detailed and complex log information was presented one by one on the projection, giving off a strong sense of the passage of time.
finally.
Half an hour later.
[Confirmed return to the Imperial Fleet; homeworld protection mission completed; control and mission logs being transferred.]
As the last mission log message appeared before all Imperials, the homeworld fortress successfully arrived in front of the Tenth Imperial Fleet.
[The Empire's homeworld AI, number ten, greets the Supreme Emperor of the Empire!]
"Okay, okay, okay..."
The Emperor's tentacles trembled slightly as he wrote down the tachyon information that he had not yet finished editing on the control panel.
[Respected human civilization, on behalf of all the people of the Empire, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you.]
The Tenth Empire will be a perpetual ally of human civilization.
...
【Earth】
As he watched the Imperial homeworld fortress successfully enter the Imperial fleet, Lü Yongchang sat calmly in his chair, but the fingers that kept tapping on the armrest of the chair clearly betrayed his inner unease and anxiety.
This is the welcoming plan proposed by the School of Sociology.
On the one hand, the large fleet serves as a demonstration of human civilization's respect for the Tenth Empire, and on the other hand, it can also serve as a precaution against unforeseen circumstances.
On the other hand, at the same time the two fleets met, they directly unleashed the ultimate weapon of human civilization—the imperial homeworld fortress from the Milky Way.
With the financial benefits already determined, go all in on the emotional appeal.
The Tenth Empire will be a perpetual ally of human civilization.
The moment the text appeared in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang stopped gently tapping the armrest of his chair, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Just like the significance of Earth to human civilization.
The home planet plays an irreplaceable role in providing spiritual sustenance for interstellar civilizations on long voyages.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Just like the Eugene civilization, they had almost no feelings for their home planet.
But for the Tenth Empire...
Lü Yongchang did not believe that the Tenth Empire, which had spent so much effort building a defensive fortress on its home planet, would be like the Eugene civilization.
As it turns out, playing the emotional card worked.
Amidst his joy, a sense of melancholy inexplicably arose in Lü Yongchang's heart.
The homeworld of the Tenth Empire still exists.
What about the mother planet of human civilization?
Under the attack of the planet-devouring device, Earth, which crashed into the sun, could never return.
"Professor, the Tenth Empire's flagship has broken away from the fleet."
Zero's reminder came from the side, interrupting Lü Yongchang's thoughts.
A fleeting feeling of sadness passed by.
With a formidable enemy at hand, Lü Yongchang has no time for sentimentality—as time goes by, the number of red dots on the star map has soared to a terrifying level!
The establishment of an alliance is certainly not something that can be accomplished with just a few words.
Although both sides have agreed on the details, the necessary ceremony is still indispensable.
The Tenth Empire has already dispatched its flagship, and human civilization naturally cannot lag behind.
Watching the Imperial flagship gradually approach the human fleet, Lü Yongchang slowly rose from his seat:
"[Earth], forward!"
P.S.: It's almost the final stage... and it's getting harder and harder to write.
There should only be one update tonight.
