Final Chapter (1) The winds rise across the four seas, may we all take care...
Several months have passed since the last incident.
The swarm of warships from Muli Star fled, and the emergency support from surrounding planets sparked a brief discussion within the Empire, but it didn't linger in people's conversations for more than two or three days before the public's attention turned to other novel matters.
For example, with the expansion and establishment of Jiangjia Mall, the various delicacies that followed have already sparked a craze across many planets.
While it can't completely replace a guide, it's perfectly adequate as a substitute for those unpleasant-tasting nutrient solutions.
However, this also aroused dissatisfaction among many nutrient solution factories and their manufacturers. Suddenly, various "monopoly lawsuits" and "unfair competition lawsuits" flooded into Jiang Siwei's desk like snowflakes.
Taking away someone's interests is like killing their parents; this applies to all times.
But the same applies to Jiang Siwei.
Undeterred, she assembled a legal team with great determination to actively respond to the lawsuit and gather evidence.
To prove that her products were superior and that she offered better mental healing, she brought her team to Black Tower.
At this time, Kuwano was busy treating the sentinels who were injured in the Muli Star incident with the hospital staff.
She couldn't wait for Bertha to figure out the secrets of the herbs, so she gave away all kinds of herbs produced in the cave, since the empire would pay for it anyway.
When Jiang Siwei arrived, Sangye was watching several still-active sentries drink herbs that were bitter to the core.
The hospital removed as many liver- and lung-damaging components from the traditional Chinese medicine as possible; the remaining components had to be broken down by the sentinels themselves.
Sangye didn't forget to brew the medicine for Wu Huansheng. She added many heat-clearing and detoxifying ingredients to her prescription and urged her to drink it three times a day.
It was so hard to drink and so bitter that Wu Huansheng even secretly poured out several bowls.
After Sang Ye finished his work and returned to the West Building, Jiang Siwei and Du Yuan sat in the courtyard enjoying tea.
Du Yuan drank green tea, while Jiang Siwei drank bubble tea. Twins sat in cradles beside them.
Upon seeing Sang Ye arrive, Jiang Siwei immediately leaned closer mysteriously: "Is everything in that email true? Is His Highness really related to Song Yu by blood?"
Upon hearing this, Sangye felt a surge of disgust towards Song Yu.
Before his death, Song Yu sent an email to the empire's largest media outlet, "revealing" so-called royal secrets. He told all about Lin Changli's background, paternal lineage, how Lin Shuangqiao forced Yu Shen to his death, and so on. He also claimed that Lin Changli had once tried to harm his newborn sister.
The events that happened on Muli Star didn't attract much attention, but the royal power grab was always a hot topic, especially after what Song Yu, the guide, told people.
His exile already carried a certain mystique, which made it even more convincing.
Moreover, it is a well-known fact that Lin Changli was "exiled" to Black Tower Star.
The royal family's response was simple.
Royal spokesman Sayyid held a press conference, acknowledging paternal lineage but denying other allegations.
The royal family refused to acknowledge any connection between Yu Shen's death and Lin Shuangqiao, and refuted all speculation about Lin Shuangqiao's private life.
At the same time, the royal family denied the rumors of a power grab. In response, Lin Changli attended the press conference and publicly announced that he was relinquishing his right to the throne; he also promised that as a member of the royal family, he would once again fulfill his duties when the empire needed him.
Lin Changli's declaration of relinquishing his inheritance rights dispelled the rumors, but it also caused an uproar and turmoil.
In order to suppress various speculations, Lin Changli led the Alpha Fortress on another expedition in the second week.
Sangye only had time to say goodbye to him from the fortress.
Fortunately, she had plenty of things to do after returning to Black Tower Star, and didn't have time to dwell on what had already happened.
However, since Jiang Siwei had asked, Sang Ye couldn't remain silent, so she nodded, acknowledging the secret.
"Lieutenant General Retona is really composed; he doesn't want to take advantage of anyone's position at all," Jiang Siwei remarked.
“She’s a smart person,” Sangye replied, pouring the milk tea into a full-liter cup, adding ice and pudding. “Knowing what kind of people her brothers are, she’d rather stay far away than get involved in future trouble.”
"Is she awake?"
“She just woke up yesterday, and after learning of Song Yu’s death, she remained silent for a long time before handing over the password to the crystal bar.” Sangye recalled her stunned expression.
Eugénie Retner has some affection for her two brothers, after all, they were together during their childhood and supported each other as adults.
Georgina conveyed the Emperor's message to her, and Eugénie submitted her resignation, relinquishing all titles, even honorary ones. Eugénie took on all the responsibility, ensuring Georgina's smooth landing.
Despite her extreme caution, she was still implicated in the end.
This punishment is only out of consideration for Lin Changli; if he were to go to a military court, his reputation would be damaged.
"It's rare to have such a foster mother," Jiang Siwei remarked with emotion.
The twins beside me woke up and started babbling in baby talk.
Du Yuan and Jiang Siwei bent down and each picked up one of them.
“My sister-in-law is leaving. This month.” Jiang Siwei patted Eleanor, as if he had thought of something, and said to Sangye.
Sangye knew about this much earlier than Jiang Siwei.
After the Muli Star incident, in recognition of Kuwano's significant role in the incident, she was promoted again to lieutenant general and is now qualified to serve as the executive officer of Black Tower Star.
Moreover, with Black Tower Star under her control, the position of Executive Officer will no longer be in doubt.
Aso Ment's former subordinates were eager to come and greet her, while Jiang Sili and Aso Ment's mother, Ms. Sophia, would continue to stay on Black Tower to take care of the child.
“My brother wants to stay with the children; he doesn’t want to go back to the G11.” Jiang Siwei said with a hint of disappointment, “My sister-in-law actually let him have his way this time.”
Kuwano scratched his head: "Well, a man has the freedom not to be a general."
Jiang Siwei pursed her lips and didn't dwell on the topic.
In recent months, more and more Sentinels have been discharged from the hospital and left Black Tower. Most of them left as soon as their test results came back to reunite with their families.
The unconscious sentries gradually recovered.
Breakthrough progress has been made in the treatment of Black Tower, and its reputation is quietly turning around in the interstellar space.
At the same time, the number of "patients" received also increased, and many high-ranking officers who were close to the critical level chose to come to Black Tower for recuperation for a period of time.
The existing hospital infrastructure is no longer sufficient to meet the demand.
The snow-covered area, which had been completely mined out not long ago, became the site for the construction of a sanatorium.
After all the mineral veins in the snow-covered mountain area were mined out, the radiation disappeared, and the climate became mild, with snowstorms no longer occurring all day long.
After the ore vein was hollowed out, the lava from the extinct volcano flowed along the empty vein, melting a large area of snowfield nearby. The base was then filled in with heat-resistant materials and planted with cold-resistant tree species such as cedar.
The snow-capped mountain area has the potential to become a health resort.
The establishment of the sanatorium has also provided a large number of jobs for the Xueshan people, enabling them to be self-sufficient.
With the arrival of high-ranking military officers, all infrastructure, such as the internet, was completed. The Xueshan tribe also began to make external contacts, sending their offspring to the base for study and work.
Minur left.
She once led her people as their spiritual leader, guiding them through difficult times. But in this peaceful and prosperous era, she is no longer needed. The people of the Snow Mountain tribe can live well.
Although the insect venom on Wu Huansheng's face showed no improvement, his mental state remained very stable. Sangye also wanted to help Mu An restore his mental level, but his injuries were too severe, and it would probably take a lifetime to recover.
Mu An himself didn't seem to care much.
On the day the Snow Mountain Sanatorium was completed, Wu Jinyue brought Wu Xiangxi (Wu Huansheng's mother) to Black Tower Star to check on Wu Huansheng's condition.
Wu Jinyue went to the snow mountain alone and successfully met Minur, asking him if he would like to go with her this time.
Minur ultimately chose to leave Black Tower with his mother.
The three Wu Xiangxi sisters had known about the existence of this eldest sister for a long time, but even at this age, Wu Xiangxi was still surprised.
Sangye gave Minur a small cedar tree, which was planted in a landscape pot, with a processed black crystal hanging on its branches.
Minur boarded Wujinyue's warship with Little Cedar. She would see a world completely different from the snow-capped mountains, the base, and Black Tower Star, beginning a new chapter in her life.
On the day Aso Ment left, although G13 did not dare to bring the space fortress in a ostentatious manner, the tarmac was filled with warships.
Sangye gave him a spatial key, which was filled with all kinds of alcohol, from plum wine to red wine to vodka. This was Aso Mente's favorite.
Aso Ment gave his two daughters a final hug, then patted Jiang Sili on the shoulder: "Wait for me to come back and take you to the new house. It won't be long."
She is still the same ambitious woman; she is determined to win the marshal title she failed to obtain years ago.
Jiang Sili smiled, as always: "May your military prowess flourish."
Aso Mente didn't need anything else; she only needed this sentence.
Then Aso Ment grasped Sangye's hand: "I'm entrusting Black Tower to you. Do what you want to do, follow your heart."
Sang Ye nodded.
A few days ago, the nobles whose property was stolen by the White Wolf Gang, in order to vent their anger, actually brought bodyguards and broke into the remote star cluster where the White Wolf Gang used to live. Taking advantage of the vastness of the star cluster and the sparse population, they wreaked havoc.
G13 intervened and suppressed their unruly behavior just as they had suppressed the pirate crew.
This year marked the centenary of the White Wolf Gang's major case.
All economic records have been sealed, and there is no longer any legal basis for retrospection.
Sangye sent a message to Jiang Zhaoyuan, inviting him, now a free man, to bring his family to live on Black Tower Star.
Jiang Zhaoyuan first brought the most normal-looking mixed-race children to the Loda Plain.
The Loda Plains were already used to Jiang Zhaoyuan and his group, and they had never experienced the blood feud with the Zerg, so they had no discrimination against mixed-race people.
Unless the Zerg change their reproductive methods, or humanity ultimately defeats the Zerg, the phenomenon of hybrid children will be difficult to end. Fortunately, there are still people willing to raise them.
The Loda Plain is now a granary, where crops such as wheat, rice, potatoes, sugarcane, corn, and oats all grow.
Cattle, sheep, and horses were naturally grazed, while chickens, ducks, and geese were raised in enclosures. Later, the introduction of carnivores such as wolves, foxes, jackals, and leopards not only provided visual appeal but also balanced the rampant reproduction of herbivores.
Jiang Zhaoyuan led the former members of the White Wolf Gang to establish their own territory, and the vast grasslands could accommodate their wandering souls.
They no longer need to wander around or steal. Sangye and Jiang Siwei are working together to transform the grasslands and tidal flats into tourist attractions, which will be able to receive tourists once Black Tower Star is fully open.
Jiang Zhaoyuan, with his extensive knowledge and management skills, is very suitable to be the executor of this project.
