Back at his home, Sebastian glanced at the communicator, as he received a lot of messages from many people. Being the champion of the Stars Competition, Sebastian's communication method is no secret, as many people can get it in various ways. Later, he became one of the new powers of the Council of Stars as the disciple of Lady Sabrina, so there are not a few people who take the initiative to befriend him. For this invasion, some Planetary Lords came to ask about the situation to see if they could get some inside information from his side.
Sebastian was too lazy to pay attention to this, so he sat down and went into the awakening space. No matter how powerful the Abyss Demon is, for him, the most important thing right now is to evolve Terra well and try to improve its strength as soon as possible.
On the battlefield of Ancient Star, because of the promotion to the Level 3 territory, Sebastian received a generous reward of 10,000 Origin Crystals. Plus the wealth from the previous Star Competition and some that were given by Lady Sabrina, the current him, there are a total of 12,000 Origin Crystals. This is a huge amount of resources and is enough to solve his urgent necessities.
"If I put all these Origin Crystals in..." Sebastian muttered to himself: "It is estimated that it can accelerate the evolution of Terra for hundreds of years."
As the Planet grows, more and more Origin Crystals are needed for acceleration. Of course, the levels of these source crystals obtained are all Low-Grade, and this is the one with the largest number. As for the Intermediate-Grade, there are fewer than 11. High-Quality Origin Crystals are things that High-Level Executives at the level of Parliamentarians are eligible to use. According to what Sebastian knows, in the entire Endless Star Territory, the Origin Planet that can give High-Quality Origin Crystals is very few.
Above Terra, Catherine and the others who have passed the assessment of the Ancient Star territory have been sent back. In the Ancient Star, only 40 or 50 days passed, but for Terra, decades have passed.
For Catherine, things are quite different. There is a feeling of change, as many former relatives, friends, and colleagues have passed away. Of the same batch of cabinet executives as Catherine, half are old, and the other half have retired. While they are getting old, only Catherine is still young.
Seeing it all, Catherine couldn't help but sigh. There is a feeling of being out of time and feeling for the first time her insignificance and the vastness of this world. The development of science and technology, although very fast, compared with the strangeness of Ancient Stars, is still far from complete.
To welcome Catherine and the people who returned victoriously, they held a grand triumphal ceremony. But Catherine has lost that excited mind, and her heart has become much calmer. The only thing left in her heart is the sea of stars.
"What should I do with the Pikachu?" Catherine's assistant asked.
While in the territory, Catherine held on to a Pikachu without letting go. They have worked together for over a month, so the relationship between the two is very good.
"Send them back to the Third Continent." Catherine thought for a while and said. There is no option to keep Pikachu as a pet.
"And the Cybertronian, the Giant Kong, the Godzilla, the Space Kangaroo, a lot of people have different opinions," Reports the Assistant. "Some people feel that they should take part in and form an army of super creatures, and there are others who feel that they should all be sent back to their original places."
This is the most high-profile and controversial event; many quarreled, and each made sense, so no one could convince anyone. Catherine has been dealing with all kinds of trivial matters these two days, but she hasn't had time to fix this yet.
"What about the creatures themselves? What do they think?" Catherine asked.
"They also disagree internally." The assistant said helplessly, "Part of the Cybertronians want to stay, and some want to go back. The Giant Kong and Godzilla don't care, and the Pikachu doesn't have a strong bias either, so it depends on our wishes."
Catherine thought for a while and said, "Send all of them back to their original places."
"What?" The assistant was a little surprised and asked inexplicably, "Don't you need to discuss it with the Scientists?"
"I don't want to fight." Catherine smiled slightly and said, "It's decided like this, they have their place to live, and we have ours."
That's how it was decided. Sebastian could see that Catherine, after passing through the Ancient Star Battlefield, had changed mentally. She becomes calmer, and her emotions don't fluctuate much.
After solving the fate of all creatures, Catherine plunged headlong into scientific research. Over the past few decades, the scientific community in the state has made a lot of progress. Something brand new, but she feels a little outdated.
Fortunately, she is smart, so she learns everything very fast. Not to mention that she also took a Fruit of Epiphany from the Tree of Epiphany that is planted in the Mountains by Sebastian, which has become the top secret of the Imperium.
Every day, there is a regiment of troops closely guarding, and the production of the Fruit of Epiphany is only a few dozen per year. For each use, all must be instructed by Catherine. It is awarded to one who reaches a critical point in scientific research. Scientists who are missing the mark make the next scientific theory a huge breakthrough.
Nuclear Fusion Energy has now reached a point of simplicity and stability. Like the Oil Energy, this makes it possible for many projects to have a line of sight.
Soon after Catherine returned, the Moon Landing Program restarted. One year later, the people landed on the Moon again; this is no longer technically difficult, so next is the Mars Project. Three years later, participated by hundreds of thousands of people, the first real Starship in the history of the Imperium was produced.
The Lunar Spacecraft in front is just a lander. A rocket is needed to take it into space, so the body is very small. Both travel and load capacity are extremely limited. The Spaceship, in the imagination of many Scientists, is the same as an airplane.
This was before the success of Nuclear Fusion Energy, which made it impossible. But after the energy problem was solved, the Spaceship plan began to be implemented. Later, it was delayed for a long time because of the Ancient Star Battlefield.
When Catherine came back, she presided over the project. Increased investment in human and material resources allowed the project to progress very quickly. When the first Starship took off, Catherine waited for the top cabinet officials to come to witness the scene.
"Are you going to go to Mars together this time?" The assistant next to her asked.
"No, I'll wait later." Catherine smiled. The previous moon landing frightened many people. Come to think of it now, she felt a little self-willed. But how can you not be foolish when you are young?
The first Spacecraft took off smoothly, carrying ten Astronauts and Scientists into space and towards the distant Mars. There were no setbacks along the way. This reminds Sebastian of Earth's exploration of Mars. The Starship goes straight with ease.
At last, it landed on Mars. They stayed for three days and did some experiments. After collecting some specimens, the Spaceship takes off and returns. It did not have any mishaps when returning to Terra. Allowing the whole process to be very smooth.
Not just in Aerospace, but in other fields, because of the return of Catherine and the influence of the two magical trees, the Tree of Wisdom and the Tree of Epiphany, they also began to enter a period of rapid development. Various new achievements are emerging.
In the field of weapons that is a top priority, a team of Scientists researched a weapon more powerful than the Hydrogen Bomb. Conventional weapons like Electromagnetic Rifles and Railguns are gradually becoming obsolete, as there are more advanced weapons appearing.
In the field of Artificial Intelligence, there is no massive breakthrough, but their intelligence is improving little by little, allowing robots to enter all walks of life.
Time passed little by little. For the next ten years, the Imperium went on the second, third, and fourth trips to Mars, and ships were being replaced very quickly.
But Sebastian had to stop because the summoning order from Star Palace was finally here. All the forces of the Endless Star Territory must send Planetary Lords to deal with the invasion of the Abyss Demon. Sebastian has made a decision to receive this call-up order.
But then Sebastian saw his order, and his face became a little weird.
