Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 605: Arrival

Peak Three within the Home Ten ship was an ordinary mountain. Although the foot of the mountain counted as a tourist spot, its tourism index ranking was only mid-tier, not a particularly good place. However, this place seemed to be especially suited to the aesthetic sense of the Pegasus Civilization. Among the first batch of a little over thirty thousand scientists, more than three thousand Pegasus Civilization beings were fond of it.

Seeing the application reports from Ruto and Ares, Xiao Yu pondered briefly, then issued an approval, “Very well, I agree to your applications to resign. You may move freely among all Home-Class ships. Not only Peak Three, you may live anywhere, except for restricted zones.”

With Xiao Yu’s consent, the two people who had once been, respectively, the highest leader of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance and the greatest scientist within the Level 5 Civilization Alliance seemed to shed some heavy burden in an instant. The two exchanged smiles and then parted. They returned to their homes, took their belongings and their robots, and left the city.

Aside from Xiao Yu, who knew everything here, no one knew where they had gone, nor could anyone contact them.

Xiao Yu understood their state of mind very well. He knew they must both be very conflicted now. They liked this place, but reason told them they should not abandon hatred. Yet reality told them they had no hope of revenge. In such a contradictory mental state, choosing to withdraw from the world and live in seclusion as a form of escape seemed a good choice. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

“What a pity that these two outstanding figures cannot be used by me.” Xiao Yu sighed inwardly, then set the matter aside and began to plan other affairs.

They were only two outstanding figures. Although it was a pity, it was not a major matter. Moreover, Xiao Yu believed that as long as they remained within the society of the Divine Ark Civilization, they would eventually regard this place as their home. If this place were threatened with destruction, these two would surely come forth to help him, or rather, to protect their own home.

After settling the first batch of scientists, Xiao Yu began preparing for the reporting of the second batch. This time the number was somewhat larger, roughly five hundred thousand. Because Xiao Yu had not prohibited the first batch of scientists from contacting their homeland, the living conditions aboard the Home-Class ships had already spread roughly through the Level 5 Civilization Alliance, allowing those who remained there to gain a general understanding of life here. Xiao Yu believed that this time he would encounter much less resistance.

Everything proceeded as Xiao Yu imagined. In the process of recruiting the second batch of scientists, he did not encounter much resistance. After the recruitment of the second batch was completed, under Xiao Yu’s oversight and with the cooperation of the Social Committee, a large-scale publicity campaign was launched.

This time the campaign plan was personally drafted by Luka Two, then submitted to the Social Committee for discussion. Xiao Yu also attended the meeting and offered his opinions. After integrating all sides’ suggestions, Luka Two made several revisions and finally brought out the finalized version, which was unanimously approved by the participants.

This publicity targeted both the Level 5 Civilization Alliance and the Divine Ark Civilization. Xiao Yu hoped to achieve the following goals, to let the citizens of the Divine Ark Civilization understand through comparison how superior their present lives were and thereby further enhance civilizational cohesion, and at the same time to let the populace of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance learn how the citizens of the Divine Ark Civilization lived and what their living environment was like, so as to generate a certain admiration. Through publicity, he would tell them that before long he would grant them the same treatment. By this method, resistance encountered during the process of civilizational integration could be reduced.

Thus a great many on-site investigative documentaries were produced. In these documentaries, media within the Divine Ark Civilization, under the guidance of the Social Committee, dispatched many filming teams. Protected by robot guards, they entered the Level 5 Civilization Alliance’s Continent-Class ships to conduct interviews. Quite a number of filming teams also began shooting aboard the Home-Class ships, recording the daily lives of the citizens of the Divine Ark Civilization and the beautiful scenery aboard the Home-Class ships, then taking the footage to the Level 5 Civilization Alliance for broadcast.

These documentaries not only could enhance the cohesion of the Divine Ark Civilization’s citizens and strengthen the admiration of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance’s populace, but could also further increase the mutual understanding between the two different civilizations, thereby reducing various potential obstacles during the integration process.

“As everyone can see, where I am standing now is the most prosperous city aboard the most prosperous Continent-Class residential ship of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance. For the Level 5 Civilization Alliance, this city is equivalent to the capital.” In one documentary, the host said, “Everyone can see that the residential conditions aboard the Level 5 Civilization Alliance’s Continent-Class ships are not very good. There are truly too many people here. Crowds are everywhere. The environment is not very good either. One must know that this is the situation even after our Divine Ark Civilization supplied at least ten million cleaning robots to assist them with sanitation. What? Many of those robots have gone out of service because the Level 5 Civilization Alliance cannot supply sufficient energy? I see. Next, let us randomly interview someone.”

“This is the Level 5 Civilization Alliance’s main air circulation purification system aboard their Continent-Class residential ship. Everyone can see that it is indeed large, but the machines are somewhat old, and the processing efficiency does not seem very high. Please look at the following images and compare them with the main air circulation purification system aboard our Home-Class ships. Next, let us interview a staff member here.”

“Oh, you say that due to a lack of industrial base and social resources, your government is temporarily unable to renovate and upgrade this place? That is truly regrettable. Do you know this will lead to many discomforts among the populace living aboard this ship?”

“This staff member seems a bit ashamed. He declined our interview for the time being on the grounds of being busy at work. That is alright. We can take a look for ourselves and also hear the opinions of our accompanying experts.”

“This is obviously an air purification unit, and at this moment it is obviously operating in an overloaded state. Some of its parts are already damaged, causing it to be unable to function at full capacity. By the way, this model was eliminated in our civilization several hundred years ago. What we now use in the Divine Ark Civilization are dedicated instruments developed by the Mechanical Academy of Science. These instruments have many advantages, such as powerful functionality, high stability, and low energy consumption.”

“This is a wastewater treatment and recycling instrument. It also shows rather serious damage. In fact, I am quite puzzled. Can such a device really clean wastewater with complex components thoroughly?”

In just a few years, roughly a thousand such documentaries appeared. Filmed from different angles, their content covered all aspects of life in the society of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance, including living customs, current lifestyles, entertainment, cultural psychology, artistic achievements, and so on. All were recorded and then broadcast aboard the Home-Class ships. At the same time, several thousand to tens of thousands of documentaries about the Home-Class ships were produced and then taken to the Level 5 Civilization Alliance for broadcast.

Thus the two civilizations slowly came to understand each other.

By now, all the scientists of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance and their families had been relocated to live aboard the Home Ten ship. At the same time, several hundred million ordinary citizens had been dispersed among the other Home-Class ships. The Home Thirteen ship was currently undergoing internal refurbishment. After the project was completed, another ten billion citizens of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance or the Divine Ark Civilization would come to live there.

The Divine Ark Civilization, with its unique social culture and inclusiveness, was rapidly assimilating the Level 5 Civilization Alliance, this foreign civilization. Under Xiao Yu’s series of publicity measures and many concrete actions, the impression of the Divine Ark Civilization within the Level 5 Civilization Alliance was being rapidly reversed. Up to now, voices supporting integration into the Divine Ark Civilization and looking forward to it had surpassed those opposing integration.

Moreover, even those who opposed integration had basically lost extreme sentiments at this time and no longer thought about revenge. Those who hated the Divine Ark Civilization had by now become a minority.

Time passed bit by bit. By now, over fifty billion citizens of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance had moved aboard the Home-Class ships. The first batch of twenty Continent-Class Home-Class ships built by Xiao Yu were already fully occupied. If more population were moved in, the living experience would be reduced. Thus Xiao Yu temporarily halted the integration plan, intending to resume this work after new Home-Class ships were constructed.

Amid busy work, Xiao Yu finally reached his destination, a stable star, orbited by several planets. This stellar system was stable and peaceful, the most suitable place for Xiao Yu to develop.

“I hope that during this period no powerful existence comes to disturb me.” Xiao Yu murmured.

Tens of millions of warships stationed here. The planetary war star Earth also entered an orbit around the star. Various large-scale industrial constructions began once more, and countless scientists and citizens once again became busy.
