121: Chapter 121 Moving the Solar System
To be honest, you feel a bit regretful.
"Why did I have to be so restless and activate that Formation!" you couldn't help but think.
It's not that these aliens from the starry sky... well, calling them aliens isn't quite right either.
They are also human, with two eyes and one mouth just like you; in fact, you can't tell any difference between them and Earthlings.
According to them, they come from an organization in the starry sky called the Human Federation, and your Formation was actually a coordinate transmitter.
After seeing them, one thing was certain: you couldn't say, "I'm not eating beef anymore."
"I, Lin Qi, haven't even enjoyed a few good days yet, and now I have to unlock a new map!"
Lin Heng looked at the content above and thought for a moment, extracting the most crucial information.
Over a million years ago, a fleet from the Human Federation encountered some kind of incident while traveling through the Universe and was forced to land on Earth. In order to contact the Federation, the surviving members of the fleet set up this Formation on Earth, attempting to send a distress signal to the Federation, but the signal was not sent due to insufficient Qi supply.
It wasn't until two years ago, when you activated the Formation, that the Federation finally received this signal.
As for why the Federation didn't come when Prisoner 6 was there...
Lin Heng guessed that there was a problem with the Formation Ji Yuan activated.
This time, Prisoner 7 completely analyzed the structure of the Formation and activated it according to its original program.
But when Prisoner 6 was there, Meng Die used Ji Yuan's Formation to force an activation, which caused the problem, meaning the Federation did not receive the distress signal from here.
The fleet sent by the Federation to Earth was just an ordinary one, with only eleven people on the ship, but all of them were at the Mahayana stage of cultivation.
The leader is a beautiful boy... or girl?
But judging from appearances, you can't tell the person's gender; they have long, flowing hair, delicate skin, and no sense of authority—they even look a bit timid.
To think such a person could become the captain of such a fleet.
At this moment, you and Meng Die have come inside the spaceship as representatives.
Inside, this is the first time Meng Die has met you; her behavior is very proper, and she carries the aura of an empress.
Looking at her, you inexplicably think of the letter she wrote to Prisoner 6.
Meng Die notices you looking at her, but she only slightly frowns and quickly sweeps her gaze around.
You follow this beautiful boy to the center of the bridge.
In front of you is a pale blue holographic star map.
The boy is wearing a well-tailored silver-grey uniform with an unrecognizable badge pinned to the collar; when he speaks, his fingers unconsciously twist the hem of his clothes, and his eyes are a bit shifty.
Looking at the boy, you get a strange feeling, as if you and Meng Die are the leaders here to inspect the work.
"The two of you, I don't think I've introduced the Federation to you yet." The boy says, "Ah, no, that's wrong, I forgot to introduce myself."
The boy apologizes to you repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too nervous. My name is Ye An, and I am the captain of the Seventh Squad of the Federation's Third Rescue Fleet."
"And then..." Ye An thinks for a long time before managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Welcome to the Human Federation."
Looking at his behavior, Meng Die sends you a telepathic message: "This spaceship is driven by an internal propulsion Formation. From the general perspective of the Formation, this Federation the boy speaks of doesn't seem like something important?"
"Hmm, although I don't understand the principles behind some of the ship's combat Systems, the combat System of this ship is too imperfect," you reply telepathically.
Meng Die says, "Or perhaps this spaceship only has a simple combat payload and wasn't built for combat."
"However, this ship alone could wipe out everyone on Earth and the Tianheng Continent," you say. "If this boy ordered an attack on us right now, we would have absolutely no way to counter it."
"And it looks like this isn't even a Federation combat ship. I really wonder what kind of technology this so-called Federation has mastered," Meng Die says.
"Young Miss Meng Die?" you say.
"What is it?"
"Your eyes are a bit strange; could you please hold back your drool?" Watching Meng Die, this time you don't use telepathy and say this to her directly.
At this moment, Meng Die looks at Ye An, unreservedly revealing a look of "I want it, I want it."
As for Ye An, he doesn't dare to look at Meng Die, instead huddling to the side, holding his head and saying, "Don't eat me, don't eat me, I don't taste good, wuwuwu."
Another fleet member nearby covers their forehead and picks up the beautiful boy like a rabbit: "Captain, please mind your image."
Ye An still doesn't dare to look at Meng Die, pointing at her and saying, "But she's drooling, it's really scary!!!"
"Captain, you are currently representing the image of the Federation, and calling a girl scary is a very disrespectful behavior."
"Wuwuwu," Ye An cries.
In the end, Ye An bites the bullet and speaks to you from behind a chair.
"The two of you are Mr. Lin Heng and Li Cuihua... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't eat me, don't eat me... wuwuwu!!!" Ye An frantically checks the data in front of him, then finally looks cautiously at Meng Die and says, "Young Miss Meng Die?"
Perhaps having figured out this captain's temperament, when the other party called her Li Cuihua, Meng Die deliberately leaned forward, her red lips curling slightly as she let out an "Hmm?" which scared Ye An so much that he immediately hugged his data pad to his chest and curled up into a ball.
The tall team member standing nearby really couldn't watch anymore; he reached out, pulled Ye An from behind the chair, pressed him into the command seat, and smiled apologetically at the two of you: "Please excuse us. Our captain is the top graduate of the Federation's rescue department. This is his first time leading a rescue mission independently, so he has a bit of social anxiety. My name is Lu Chen, and I am the fleet's vice-captain."
Ye An quickly introduced his identity to you and Meng Die.
They are the captain of the Third Squad of the Federation Rescue Team.
This Federation Rescue Team is a rescue organization spontaneously organized by citizens under the Human Federation government. Its main work is to respond to distress signals from missing civilizations within the Federation and near its borders, as well as to search, evaluate, and conduct preliminary rescue operations for lost colonies.
Ye An did not introduce the situation of the Federation to you, only saying that you would naturally know when the time comes.
Ye An finally stood fully out from behind the chair, straightened his crumpled uniform collar, took a deep breath, and tried hard to make his voice sound like a proper captain. Lu Chen stepped back half a step at the right moment, yielding the main seat to him.
"Mr. Lin Heng, Young Miss Meng Die, on behalf of the Federation Rescue, I will explain the upcoming rescue plan to you. First, I need to clarify one thing to you both: this planet, which you call Earth, is not currently within the jurisdiction of the Human Federation. According to the regulations of the Interstellar Convention, Earth does not currently belong to any power, but since the autonomous entity on it is human, some races might launch a destructive attack on Earth simply because of this."
"According to the Federation's past practices, my personal proposal is to move the entire Solar System to Federation territory." Ye An didn't even blink when he said this.
However, you are very sure he didn't misspeak; he really did mean moving the Solar System.
"Of course, I guarantee that there will be no inconvenience for the humans on Earth, and at the same time, Earth humans will also obtain Federation citizenship. Uh... that's not right either." Ye An scratched his head. "Because according to Federation law, you are already Federation citizens, unless you renounce this status."
Ye An is very unreliable, truly very unreliable.
But this also indirectly reflects the strength of the Federation.
In the end, Ye An initiated a universal vote, and with an 82% approval rate, the plan to move the Solar System was decided.
Ye An transmitted the voting results back to the Federation, and then on the morning of the fourth day, he stood in the center of the bridge, looked at the sun, and said softly, "Begin."
You don't understand their technology; this is a System called "Gravity Anchor," which calculates the gravitational field interaction nodes of every celestial body in the Solar System, deploys Gravity Anchors at these nodes, and then activates them simultaneously to take the entire Solar System as a whole and smoothly "slide" it along a preset interstellar route toward Federation territory.
You can understand the most fundamental underlying knowledge, which is the logic of the Starry Sky Array that you derived, but you have no way to judge the higher-level parts through mental calculation alone.
The process of moving the Solar System was very smooth—and rightly so; for the Federation, this might already be a mature technology.
The moving process took a total of seven days. On the evening of the seventh day, the Solar System steadily stopped into the temporary settlement Star Domain designated by the Federation.
This Star Domain is about 20,000 light-years away from the Federation's main Star Domain and is a buffer zone reserved by the Federation specifically for "returning civilizations."
The Star Domain is surrounded by the Federation's standard defense satellite array and navigation markers. The nearest Federation supply station is less than 500 light-years away, which, at the speed of Federation civilian ships, takes about a two-day journey.
After Earth reached its predetermined orbit, the Federation government sent a greeting.
"Fellow humans of Earth, welcome to the Human Federation. You have automatically obtained Federation citizenship and enjoy all the rights granted by the Federation Basic Law. May this territory, shared by all humanity, grant you lasting peace."
