The system handed me over to the state.

With the Martian environment successfully altered, the Earth Alliance immediately began colonization efforts on Mars, aiming to make it humanity's first outer space colony.

This construction continued for eight years until an unexpected event completely disrupted the Earth United Organization's arrangements and plans.

...........

"Are you sure?"

"Confirmed, sir. We have detected an unknown fleet at a distance of 5 light-years from the solar system, and we have confirmed that the fleet is heading towards the solar system."

"At their current speed, they could reach the solar system in about six months. We cannot rule out the possibility that they possess a hyperspace jump engine."

"This is bad..."

An hour later, the relevant report was placed on Lao Yu's desk. This intelligence has not yet been made public because currently only China has the capability to explore deep space beyond the sun. Although the Soviet Union and the British Union are working hard to develop, their development speed and progress are far slower than China's.

"Your Majesty, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Lao Yu immediately notified Su Mengyao to handle the matter together.

Old Yu, who had never faced an alien fleet before, hesitated for a moment. What should he do? He had never encountered such a situation before, and he needed His Majesty to make the decision.

Chapter 396: Mass Recall

"I understand. Will we enter the solar system within six months?"

"Is it possible to obtain specific characteristics, size, and number of their fleet?"

After listening to the report, Su Mengyao did not panic. Instead, she calmly inquired about the fact that Shenzhou also possessed a powerful space fleet, and that the modification of Paradox could be completed within six months. With the ability to stop time, Paradox would directly dominate the entire battlefield.

Therefore, Su Mengyao was not afraid, but she had to be cautious and not be arrogant.

"Not yet. Our deep space exploration equipment can only detect the fleet's signals, but not its specific shape. We need some time to get more detailed information."

Is that so?

Su Mengyao clenched her hands together. "Regarding this matter... let's continue searching for relevant information. We need to obtain more information about this fleet."

"We can only make a judgment after we have enough information."

"In addition, speed up the modification of Paradox and the construction of other warships. If you can obtain detailed information about the fleet, report it to me immediately."

"Furthermore, this intelligence should be uploaded to the United Nations organization on Earth, but it should not be publicized. The matter should be discussed in a secret meeting."

Su Mengyao paused, "Finally... recall Bronya and the other two, along with all the ability users on leave. We need them..."

"Um... Your Majesty, but almost eight years have passed... If we confirm the recall..."

"Don't overthink it. We've had eight years of rest, and we're about to set sail for the stars. She'll need to be recalled before the fleet sets off anyway; it's just a matter of time."

"Moreover, she is the guide of China, how can she not fulfill her duties?"

Su Mengyao smiled, while Lao Yu looked somewhat speechless. With that wicked grin from His Majesty, Bronya would probably be immediately assigned a large number of tasks after being recalled.

The holiday is over, time to get back to work!

............

"Ugh... I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer..."

"No, get up! If you don't get up, I'll have Seele splash this basin of water on your face!"

Hei hope rolled over, rubbed her eyes, and sat up in bed, but the dizzy feeling in her head made her lie back down, leaving Bronya beside her quite helpless.

"Hey, wake up! Why are you so sleep-deprived lately?"

Bronya reached out and pinched Blackie's nose. Blackie clapped her hands impatiently, "Let me sleep a little longer... Don't bother me..."

Hei hope turned around, her eyes revealing weariness and helplessness, her ample bosom fully exposed. Bronya sighed, "Sigh... what's wrong with you lately?"

Bronya straightened Seele's clothes and then covered her with a towel. Seele, who was standing nearby, blinked and asked, "Should we splash some more?"

Yes, they actually prepared a basin of water to splash on them, since it was summer and even if it were winter, they wouldn't catch a cold from the water.

"Forget it, she's been acting strange lately. I'll take her to see Tong Xi today to see if there's anything wrong with her health."

Seele nodded and put away the basin of water she was carrying. "Shall we go out and buy groceries together?"

Bronya nodded. "Okay, let's go. We don't have much food left at home, let's go out and buy some!"

Ten minutes later, Bronya and Seele changed their clothes and went out to buy groceries. In the past few years, the three of them had been living in Kyoto and living separately from Yuxin and Tongxi. After all, if Yuxin and Tongxi were there, their private lives might be a little restricted.

However, after walking for only a few minutes, Bronya's phone suddenly rang. She stopped, took out her phone, and stared in disbelief.

Seele, who was walking ahead, turned around. "What's wrong, Bronya?"

Bronya put away her phone and sighed, "Those carefree days are coming to an end..."

"Huh?"

"Let's go buy groceries first. We've been given a few more days to pack up and get ready to go back."

Seele paused for a moment. Hearing the word "above," Bronya instinctively thought of that place. And being given a few days to prepare to return... could it be...?

"Sister Bronya, has the recall started...?"

Bronya nodded. "Yes, the recall process has begun. It's not just us; all the first-generation psychic users and psionic awakeners are being recalled. Something big must have happened."

Seele was stunned for a moment, "This...this is terrible..."

Seele sighed, "Indeed, in that case, the leisurely days are really over."

In recent years, Seele has thoroughly enjoyed her happy life with Bronya and Black Seele; this has probably been the happiest and most joyful time of her life.

Now, this kind of life is about to end, which makes Seele very regretful. She doesn't know if she will have the chance to continue living such a peaceful and happy life with her sister Bronya and her sister Black Seele in the future.

The grocery shopping trip was quick. When they got home, they saw Black Seele lying in the living room. Bronya and Seele asked as they changed their shoes, "Why are you still lying down? Are you not feeling well?"

Hei hope nodded, sighed, and rubbed her forehead. "It really feels terrible... My head is spinning... and I feel weak too..."

Bronya blinked, walked to the sofa, and squatted down next to Hei Xi. "Then let's go see Tong Xi together. Common illnesses don't affect us. Your poor health is probably caused by something else."

Hei hope nodded, but her body was still weak and her mental state was very poor. Xi'er also came over and asked, "Sister Hei hope, are you alright?"

"I...I'm fine...I'm okay...um, let me sleep a little longer."

Hei hope still wanted to continue sleeping. Bronya was puzzled by Hei Xi's state and sensed something was wrong, so she turned her head and said, "Xi'er, you stay here and pack our luggage for the three of us. I'll take her to see Tong Xi first."

Seele nodded, and Bronya picked up Black Seele, opened a portal in the living room, and stepped inside.

As Bronya passed through the portal, she immediately heard Yuxin's surprised voice, "Hey! Bronya? What are you doing here? And through a portal at that."

Is Tong Xi here?

"Yes, Tong Xi!"

Yu Xin called out towards the room. After a while, Tong Xi's door opened, and Tong Xi walked out helplessly. "What's wrong? Why are you calling out so early in the morning? Um... Yu Xin, did I do something to upset you?"

"Bronya and Blackie are here, but Blackie seems a little off! Why don't you come and take a look?"

Tong Xi rubbed her eyes and walked to the sofa. Looking at Hei hope lying there, Tong Xi was initially confused, but after looking at him carefully for a while, she suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Xi shouted, "Holy crap! What the hell is that?"

Chapter 397: Questionable Interstellar Diplomacy

“Mother, I’m a little… worried. Will our diplomacy this time really go smoothly? This is our first time conducting diplomacy with another civilization.”

"Don't worry, my little darling, we're going there peacefully. At worst, we'll be met with their dislike and a closed door. If they're an evil civilization, our fleet will be enough for us to escape this star system."

The girl with pure white and pink cat ears looked blankly at her mother. The tall, cat-eared older sister smiled and stroked her daughter's head. "Don't worry, baby, we will definitely succeed this time. It is a wonderful thing to communicate with other civilizations that are also exploring in the endless sea of ​​stars."

"If they are just as curious about this sector, they have no reason to refuse us."

The cat-eared girl nodded, her eyes sparkling. This time, they had traveled dozens of light-years to this unknown civilization. According to their scouts, it was a civilization that had not yet left its own star system.

At first, she was worried that her mother was going to invade other civilizations that had not yet left their star system, but after her mother repeatedly emphasized it, the girl finally believed her mother's words.

A brand new civilization, unknown life, I'm so curious, I feel like I need to understand it, I really want to explore it.

"Mother, can I go with the scouts to explore that civilization? I really want to know everything about that civilization."

"Um...this..."

The cat-eared older sister seemed very hesitant. The girl made her request again, saying that she would definitely obey the soldiers' orders and would not do anything bad. She hoped that her mother would grant her request.

Faced with her daughter's repeated requests, the cat-eared older sister couldn't bear it and finally agreed to her daughter's request.

The girl cheered and thanked her mother repeatedly for her lenient decision to forgive her willfulness. She then hurriedly left her room. The cat-eared older sister sighed, raised her right wrist, looked at the flashing watch, and pressed a button, asking, "What is it?"

“Your Majesty, we have discovered something... interesting, and we need your decision.”

"Oh? I see."

The cat-eared woman turned around and walked towards the bridge of the ship. Upon arriving at the bridge, a cat-eared woman approached the queen and said, "Your Majesty, we have just discovered through our observation devices that there are some suspected spaceships on our target civilization. Furthermore, we have observed the presence of buildings on several nearby planets."

"Oh? That's interesting. If I remember correctly, they haven't even left their own planet. How come they suddenly have spaceships and colonies on other planets?"

The observation device was a gift from an intermediate civilization. It could directly observe the target area without being limited by space, and there would be no situation where they would receive outdated information due to excessive spatial distance.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these are things we observed suddenly. We cannot rule out the possibility that they concealed the specific details of their star system in advance through some means."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The Queen looked at the documents in her hand, pondering. Had the civilization of that world really become like this? But how could it have changed so much in such a short time? Where did all these spaceships and colonies come from?

The Queen pondered for a long time. "First, send scouts to investigate and ascertain the situation of their fleet. Once we have a clear understanding of their fleet, we can then attempt to make contact. Remember, the princess must remain on the scout ship and avoid any contact with the local civilization to ensure her safety."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

After giving her orders, the Queen looked at the star map in front of her. This brand-new star system was the only planet that their interstellar reconnaissance team had discovered after decades of exploration, a planet suitable for the emergence of life. They did not know what kind of creatures existed on this planet.

But they were prepared to face the existence of these unknown creatures.

..........

"Your Majesty, this is the latest intelligence. We have observed this fleet. The fleet is very large. We do not yet know the specific types of ships, but we can confirm that the enemy has a very large ship."

"Very large? How large exactly?"

Su Mengyao asked with great interest, "Is there a big paradox?"
