Chapter 91: Heading to Orlantis

Mo Fei and Li Dasong hit it off immediately. As soon as they met, they started a spar. Of course, this time, the one who got completely crushed was Li Dasong. Naturally, these things were just a small episode. Apart from Mo Fei’s hometown—that weird planet where no stars could be seen in the sky—nothing else could attract Lin Lei’s attention.

On the arbitration order from the Star Alliance Council of Elders, it was detailed that Earthlings would be elevated to the status of legal citizens of the Galaxy. At the time, Lin Lei and the others had not paid attention to this.

It was not until they were on the Class-B spaceship that a Star Alliance envoy who had come with Lucius explained the concept of a “Galaxy Legal Citizen” in detail that Lin Lei realized the Star Alliance Council of Elders had unknowingly sold him a huge favor.

A legal citizen of the Galaxy meant that an intelligent life form would enjoy a series of benefits from birth. For example: babies one month after birth would be injected with whole-body regulation nanobots targeted at their own race’s genes.

This thing could monitor and regulate the physiological state of an intelligent being at any time. It allowed the Host to know the most detailed status of their body at any moment and could elevate the intelligent being’s immune system to a near-perfect level.

This was the first point. The second point seemed very important. Being a legal citizen meant that all individual members of any race would possess a Galaxy Network account bound to their DNA and brainwave characteristics. Although this account had permission settings corresponding to the civilization level, at least they were no longer like Lin Lei was in the beginning—a complete unregistered person.

And this Galaxy Network account could greatly strengthen the communication between Earthlings and various races, which was of great benefit to the improvement of Earth Civilization’s technology.

This Star Alliance envoy was an Aostarian. Uh, the facial features of Aostarians were too perfect. If Lin Lei was not careful, he would confuse him with Yan Qingming.

He gave Lin Lei three options regarding the injection of nanobots. The first type was supplied for free, but it only had the body status monitoring function. If one got sick, they still had to go see a doctor.

The second type added the function of regulating human living habits, including automatic biological clock adjustment, appetite adjustment based on bodily needs, and so on. If everyone could comply with this kind of regulation, their bodies would reach a peak state within a year, and their lifespan would also receive a very large increase. However, for each injection, one needed to pay the Star Alliance 100 Galactic Universal Currency.

The third type added an immune function enhancement on the basis of the previous two. After injection, one would basically be insulated from disease for a lifetime, but the price was also quite expensive. Each person needed to pay 500 Galactic Universal Currency, so for 700,000 people, they would need to pay 350 million Galactic Universal Currency.

Regarding the third type, Lin Lei could only look at it, because with his current economic strength, he was far from being able to afford this expense.

“Then, I choose the second type of nanobots. Can these robots be replaced later?” 70 million Galactic Universal Currency—Lin Lei felt a bit of pain in his flesh when taking it out, but a healthy body was definitely what Earthlings needed most right now.

“Of course they can be replaced. Please rest assured regarding this, Mr. Lin.” This Aostarian’s attitude toward Lin Lei was also very respectful, because within the Star Alliance Guard, stories of Lin Lei’s deeds had almost spread everywhere. Independently killing five Saints—such a battle record was something that even warriors of the Watcher Civilization could only look up to.

“Alright then. When we reach the temporary residential planet, we will notify the Star Alliance.”

“Okay, then please carry on. I will take my leave now.”

After seeing off the Star Alliance envoy, Lin Lei turned the conversation to Mu Zhe and Lu Daolin, who had been waiting by the side.

“Tell me, how do you feel about the spaceship?”

This time, it was Lu Daolin who stepped forward to speak. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Lei, saying, “Mr. Lin, the conditions on the spaceship are extremely generous, much better than before on Earth, but I do not think this is a good thing.”

Lin Lei sat up straight and asked seriously, “Tell me the reasoning behind it. I just felt that life in the Ecological Sphere before was too bitter, and I wanted to nurse my compatriots’ health with abundant material supplies.”

“I think we are still far from the time to enjoy ourselves. A superior life will only wear down people’s fighting spirit, and I think this is not something you wish to see.”

Lu Daolin had been on the spaceship for nearly three days, and he had indeed been shocked by the technology of the Alien civilization. At first, he was also somewhat captivated by the charm of the Alien technology.

But he was soon horrified. All this high technology was not created by Earthlings, and it was destined not to last forever. Indulging in it would only make them lose themselves.

If all the surviving Earthlings were like this, then how could they talk about the revival of Earth Civilization?

“Clap, clap, clap.” Applause rang out. Lin Lei said with a face full of appreciation, “You can be so alert and cautious; you can indeed shoulder the future of humanity. What I need is exactly people like you who can remain clear-headed at all times to grasp the direction of humanity’s future.”

“Then what about you? Mu Zhe, what are your views?” Lin Lei asked Mu Zhe, who had remained silent.

“The burden is heavy and the road is long!” This was Mu Zhe’s only experience on the spaceship these past few days. The higher the Alien technology, the greater the pressure he felt. This was not a sci-fi movie; this was real reality.

For three days, Mu Zhe had been thinking hard about a way out for humanity, but the more he thought, the colder his heart became. Humanity now had no technological foundation at all; they were truly starting from zero. After seeing such superb Alien technology, he could not help but ask himself, can Earthlings really achieve these things? Can these technologies, which border on magic, really be mastered by Earthlings?

He was lost!

Lin Lei was overjoyed when he heard his words. Those who could not sink into the Alien technology and thought about the way out for Earthlings in the first moment were definitely backbone figures for the reconstructed Earth Civilization!

“With Mr. Mu and Mr. Lu here, I can rest much more easily. Then, starting today, you two can start setting up a management team.”

“But remember, your management team serves all Earthlings, not to enjoy privileges! Regarding this point, I will supervise constantly. If there is any overstepping of authority, I will not hesitate to use thunderous means.”

This was a place where Lin Lei had to exercise strong control. There were only 700,000 Earthlings; that was not many. If even such a small number of people developed a distinct privileged class, then what future was there for Earth Civilization? They might as well go back to Earth and go to sleep early.

This might have been impossible before, but with such a powerful supervisor as Lin Lei existing, all this could become reality.

Mu Zhe and Lu Daolin stood up and said with incomparable solemnity, “Please rest assured, Mr. Lin.”

“Alright, you go and handle it. I will have Li Dasong cooperate with your work. He pilots the Night Demon Mecha, which can still play a deterrent role at critical moments. But, Dasong, you must remember, persuasion is the priority. You must absolutely not use force internally!”

“I know, don’t worry.” Li Dasong jumped onto the Night Demon Mecha and followed the two of them away.

Matters came one after another. Here, Lin Lei had just finished handling things, and over there, Lucius was looking for him again.

“Lucius, has there been a result regarding the application for the station?” At this stage, this was the only important matter.

Lucius laughed heartily, “You guessed it. Buxiuva has obtained permission from the Orlantis Federal Government. Humans can settle in the Chaxula Basin of the Orlantis Tri-Star System for one year. The annual rent is 10 million Galactic Universal Currency.”

“Oh, tell me the specific situation of the Chaxula Basin.” Ten million Galactic Universal Currency a year was not expensive, especially for a Ninth-grade Civilization like Orlantis; it was a drop in the bucket.

“I have already prepared this. I have transmitted the specific information; you can take a look yourself.”

The Chaxula Basin had an area of a full 100,000 square kilometers, with a river running through the middle. The entire basin was located in the north temperate zone of the planet, close to the frigid zone, so the climate was on the cold side.

Another bad point was that the gravitational acceleration on the planet where the basin was located was a bit high, reaching 12.5 Newtons per kilogram, 25% higher than Earth, and nearly 40% higher than Mote Planet where humans had lived for three years.

However, time was pressing. Being able to find a temporary residence was already considered not bad, and he was in no position to be picky. So Lin Lei readily agreed and, after obtaining the one-year residence permit for Orlantis Star, settled the payment immediately.

“Lin Lei, you really are a straightforward person. If you have anything else in the future, you can come directly to me. Perhaps I can still be of help.” Lucius was very happy. Lin Lei’s straightforward action made him feel he had a lot of face.

“Lucius, this definitely won’t be the last time I ask you for help. It depends on whether you dare to help in the future, hehe.”

Lin Lei had been thinking about the matter of clones these past few days. Hearing Lucius say this, he had some thoughts.

The Star Alliance prohibited the large-scale cloning of intelligent beings, but the limit for “large-scale” was somewhat vague. Lin Lei couldn’t figure out whether a scale of over ten thousand people was considered large or small. He planned to consider this deeply after arriving at Orlantis Star.
