Chapter 962 An Era Full of Hope

What did the Revival Expedition bring? Some people in the human world asked the preacher of the state religion this question. The preacher, upon hearing the question, offered no answer. He simply pointed to the sky, and people followed his finger, seeing the points of light representing countless fleets passing through the heavens. They watched as transport ships pierced through the clouds and mist, landing on the ground. They watched as the ships opened their hatches, unloading countless amounts of food and supplies. After witnessing this, no one asked the question anymore. The beginning of the Revival Expedition brought them a life of abundance. The fleets that constantly passed overhead were the best proof of this. These fleets were no longer symbols of war; their arrival no longer instilled fear in the people of this world. Instead, it brought them joy and happiness.

After all, this time, the fleets didn't bring ships full of soldiers, nor did they bring warehouses full of weapons, equipment, and ammunition. Instead, they brought warehouses full of food, abundant supplies, specialties from other worlds, and merchants from other worlds who came to their world to do business.

In today's galaxy, most human worlds no longer need to worry about the impact of wars on their worlds, and everyone can live a prosperous life in the world of the human empire.

Besides the original human worlds, people in other new human-colonized worlds also began their new lives. Among these new human-colonized worlds were colonists from the Nest World, colonists from the Feudal World, and even adventurers from the Paradise World. These people looked at the alien environment they had never seen before, constantly arranged various colonization tasks, and continuously built up their colonies.

Nowadays, human colonization is not like before, where it was simply a matter of establishing capitals or cities on those worlds. The colonized worlds, modified by the Federation's technology, only provide humans with a living environment. The specific modifications to those environments still need to be carried out by humans themselves. These modified worlds have water, forests, and various mountain ranges, but some plants, some plants that humans need, still need to be spread by humans themselves on these worlds.

Now, in a newly developed colony within the galaxy, a farmer from a feudal world pushes open the door of his humble wooden hut. He looks at the scene outside his hut, at the dwellings called "living pods" inhabited by people from the Nest World and the Heaven World. He has no interest in these metallic lumps; he is already accustomed to the way of life he once lived in his previous world.

He looked at the sky of this world. According to the weather forecast of the human colonies in this world, it was going to be a beautiful day. Two suns hung in the sky, one emitting a faint blue light and the other emitting a dark red light. As the sunlight from the two suns poured onto the earth, this farmer from the feudal world picked up his hoe and went to his land.

According to the Imperial Colonial Department's plan for this world, it will become a composite world. The so-called composite world is a kind of existence similar to the hive world, but unlike the hive world, it does not have various pollution and harsh environments. Those huge hive worlds will isolate the human ecosystem living on this world from the world's own ecosystem.

According to the propaganda of the Imperial Colonial Department regarding this composite world, once it is completed, those enormous nest cities will become embellishments nestled among golden wheat fields. The entire world will be covered with various plants, and hundreds of kilometers outside those nest cities will be covered by golden wheat fields. These golden wheat fields will become a self-sufficient food source for the people of this world. At the same time, the natural environment of this world will provide tourist destinations and various renewable natural resources for the people of this world.

The colonists who came to this world are all working hard for the composite world promoted by the Imperial Colonization Department. Every day, they are constantly carrying out their work, completing their tasks, and contributing their own strength to their world.

In this new colonial world, people do not distinguish which world they come from. Regardless of their origins, they all strive for the same goal, and no one discriminates against each other's identities.

In this hopeful colony, the barriers between people are dissolved by a shared ideal. Every morning, the mechanical priests from the Forge World and the farmers from the Feudal World sit around a makeshift camp. The farmers nibble on compressed nutrient bars delivered from transport ships, while the mechanical priests use holographic projections to plan the day's work for everyone. Although the early colonists' food source is currently the compressed rations distributed by the Imperial colonial fleet, a new edible species is discovered every day, and they still have a little meat to eat from time to time.

As for why there are still a large number of undiscovered species in this world that was originally modified by the human federation's technology, it is naturally due to the federation's modification technology. The federation's modification of a world is not entirely self-edited. Sometimes, in order to quickly make the environment of that world suitable for human colonization, they will forcibly cover the entire world with a time-law weapon, making the natural environment of that world evolve very rapidly, and making the natural environment of that world something that can be manipulated.

In the vast colonial worlds that the Empire is currently transforming, a large portion of these worlds have been modified using this technology. After all, aside from some worlds with unique environments, this kind of modification technology is the most suitable for rapidly transforming an entire world. But let's get back to the main point and see how the colonists in this world accomplish their work. The technical priests from the Forging World, with their professional knowledge, use sophisticated instruments to measure soil composition, while the farmers, relying on generations of experience, point out which areas are suitable for growing Federation genetically programmed crops and where irrigation ditches should be dug.

As dusk falls, adventurers from the Paradise World always return with unexpected surprises. Some carry collection boxes filled with glowing moss. These strange plants release a soft fluorescence at night, providing illumination for the un-electrified settlements. In this world, a new species is discovered almost every day, and a new discovery is put to use. After all, according to the plans of the composite world, their early colonization work did not require much technological assistance. Building those nests was not something these farmers needed to do; they only needed to cultivate the crops they depended on for survival.

Today, most of the world's population has become farmers. Apart from the mechanical priests who are still fiddling with their technological creations, most people have picked up their hoes or driven large agricultural machines, constantly cultivating fields on land deemed arable. Looking at the world and the azure sky, the farmer from the feudal world who had first emerged from his little wooden hut wiped the sweat from his brow and thanked the God-Emperor in his heart for giving him land and this beautiful world.

"Currently, the colonization and reconquest work has been completed very smoothly. However, we still need to be careful. Although the initial work has gone very well, there are still a lot of worlds in this galaxy that need to be transformed and reconquered. There are just too many worlds that the Human Federation once scattered throughout this galaxy..."

While the entire galaxy was entering a hopeful state under the light of the Age of Rejuvenation, on Holy Terra, Wang Ming continued to handle government affairs from various departments of the Empire and problems from various worlds within the Empire. These matters had become so numerous that even Wang Ming, the Primarch, felt incredibly exhausted. He had to deal with all sorts of things every day, and he needed to provide solutions to all sorts of problems every moment.

Although Wang Ming was extremely tired while dealing with these matters, he did not become negative because of his exhaustion. After all, he knew that every document delivered to him represented the path to the revival of the human empire. He had to handle all of these matters properly and keep the revitalized human empire firmly under control along this path of revival. Wang Ming could not tolerate any problems in this matter, as this was a rare path to revival in this desperate universe.

While Wang Ming was dealing with those political affairs, he suddenly discovered something about the various departments of the empire. Under his reorganization, the empire had added several departments. In addition to the production department, which was transformed from the Cult of Machines, there were various other departments, such as the agriculture department, which oversees the agricultural worlds of all human empires in the galaxy, and the planning department, which oversees the development issues of the imperial world.

These departments actually have quite a few problems. After all, in their early stages of establishment, some tasks are not entirely within their control. The production department, which was transformed from the Cult of Machines, is responsible for things that are not much different from what they were responsible for before, at most just some dispatching arrangements. But the agriculture department and the planning department are different. The agriculture department looks at the agricultural reports submitted by the agricultural worlds all day long and arranges the food transportation between the worlds. This is naturally not a big problem. However, with the Empire's ever-increasing number of millions of worlds, the food supply for many worlds is still miscalculated. For example, a large amount of food is transported to a world that does not lack food, or a small amount of food is arranged for a world that is relatively lacking in food.

Then there's the newly established World Planning Department. They're responsible for production planning in the colonized worlds, as well as development plans for the hive cities or their internal environments in the imperial worlds. To be honest, Wang Ming already regrets setting up this department. Those guys can even start fighting over a plan, each side sticking to their own opinion and believing their plan is the best solution. For example, if they want to build an imperial statue in a world, one side thinks it's an act to solidify the world's faith, while the other side thinks pragmatism is the best approach. Then the two sides start arguing, eventually escalating to pointing fingers at each other and shouting "heretics," and then they end up having endless office brawls with tables and chairs.

Wang Ming found these matters extremely troublesome, but they were still within his acceptable range. Besides handling the empire's internal affairs, he also had to deal with various issues arising from the newly established departments, and oversee the ongoing Revival Expedition in the galaxy. The Revival Expeditionary Force had now spread throughout the entire galaxy, with the furthest unit almost leaving the area illuminated by the Emperor's Light and about to enter the Dark Realm beyond the galaxy. However, unlike the Macarius Expedition, they did not harbor fear of that Dark Realm. The Imperial soldiers looked at the transmigrators around them; they knew that the angels beside them had entered that Dark Realm more than once. They would enter that Dark Realm beyond the galaxy, allowing the Emperor's Light to descend upon the human world still lost to the outside world.

"The revival of humanity... how interesting..."

As the revival expedition was in full swing, in this world, the ruler of this world looked at the transport ship slowly descending in front of him, and at the Imperial Skyhawk on the transport ship. While adjusting the smile of his human body, he kept thinking about the current state of human civilization.
