There Is No Afterlife

Chapter 252: rise

The floor of the spaceport was yellowed by the orange lights, which at first glance happened to be a yellow road.

At this moment, Olivia was standing in the middle of the road, and Mengmeng was standing beside him.

This scene is so familiar that Xiao Baijue, who was abandoned by Mugen at the gate of the orphanage, instantly overlapped with the tall young man in front of him. Mugen flew over.

Hearing "Muggan, happy birthday." When Mugan's tears burst, he hugged Olivia's neck tightly, and he said "I'm sorry" over and over again.

"I'm sorry..." I'm sorry for leaving you alone in the orphanage.

"I'm sorry..." I'm sorry for abandoning you.

"I'm sorry..." I'm sorry to make this decision but I can't think of a better way!

A little confused and a little happy, Olivia responded tightly to the hug that Mugan took the initiative to send.

But after all, he was no longer a teenager who could express his feelings as he wanted. He gestured to Todd with his eyes, and Todd immediately stood up knowingly.

"Thank you for sending Mr. Mugan back. The unmarried couples who have reunited after a long absence may have to talk for a while. Please come here with me." He added a note to the scene at the moment, Todd politely Be humane to Yurabi who is still stepping off the spaceship.

"It doesn't matter, we are Urabi from the seventh-level civilization. My name is Haoli. I am very honored to be able to promote such a beautiful thing while visiting your country this time." With the help of a translator, Huo Li Li understands.

He defined this arrival as a "visit", which was a very friendly signal, and the imperial people present received this signal very sensitively.

"This way, please." Todd's smile became more sincere.

"Oh! You're welcome, I'm a good friend of Mr. Mugan." Hawley also took the opportunity to reveal his relationship with Mugan.

Leaving space for the family, Jobsen walked last, closing the door properly for them.

"Ah? What is this..." The person who should be more excited was obviously Olivia, but Mugen's reaction was so great that Olivia became the one who comforted him.

Feeling that Mugen's warm body was in her arms, for the first time, Olivia sincerely thanked the gods that may exist in this world, and thanked those gods for returning this person to herself.

"Olivia." Sigma's voice suddenly came from the side. Olivia just raised her head when she felt an extra weight on her back. With Sigma's head on, the robot Ipsi Dragon, Pie, Eta joined them successively, and even the most indifferent robot Beta also came.

Then…

Olivia saw the big patriarch Alpha standing silently and quietly, and then, he moved.

Just when Olivia was worried that Alpha would come to separate himself from Mugan, a mechanical hand suddenly appeared on his head.

"Olivia, I'm very happy to see you again." Robot Alpha gently rubbed Olivia's hair.

For the serious and introverted uncle, this is the most intense way to express his feelings.

In the end, Mengmeng also squeezed in with her little wings open.

The family huddled together, enjoying their rare reunion.

At this moment, everyone's heart is very peaceful, including the robot.

The screens of the robots are all black. Looking at it from a distance, people who don't know the truth probably think they are dead. Only those who understand the behavior patterns of these robots will know: They are closing their eyes!

Like a human, close your eyes.

Quietly and comfortably enjoy the peace that the hug brings to them at the moment.

Alpha felt at peace within himself.

He "thought" that other robots should feel the same way as him, and even Beta, who has the least developed emotional system, should feel peaceful and happy at the moment.

Why is this?

Alpha occasionally thinks about things like this.

The body of the robot itself has no temperature. They cannot feel any temperature through actions such as hugging or touching. They also have no sense of touch. Even vision and hearing are the conclusions generated by the scanning system.

They are ordinary robots from the beginning. Even if the materials are special and the functions are advanced, they are not any different from ordinary robots. They have no feelings and no feelings.

Therefore, when he first saw Mugan as a cub on Desolate Star, Alpha had no compassion in his heart for the child who fell and cried.

There's no such thing as emotional computing in his program.

When is it?

Since when?

He began to carefully calculate the appropriate amount of force needed to hug little Mugan.

Again and again, he calculated carefully.

He learned to stroke the child's head with a cold robotic hand, and he learned to encourage and cheer him up by clapping his palms.

Time and time again, these actions gradually made sense to him.

Just like now, Alpha's cold mechanical body can't feel the metal shell of his companion, and similarly, he can't feel the temperature of the two children, but even so, he knows that they are in his arms, and this knowledge makes him feels good.

"Okay, the celebration time is over, now, Olivia, you need to meet the Urabi people immediately, intelligence: The seventh-level civilization Urabi, a high-level civilization that can compete with Euabis, is the second closest to the Empire. Advanced civilization, the life forms of residents are living bodies and energy bodies coexist, and the trade industry is developed..." However, the uncle is the uncle, and even the celebration time is strictly controlled in the "brain".

After the master gave an order, all the robots immediately turned on their screens and left, even Mengmeng. Mugen and Olivia, who were still hugging in the whole room, immediately looked dazzling.

The two manipulators stretched out, and Mugen and Olivia, who were originally stuck together, were immediately separated by him, and Alpha immediately gestured to Olivia in the direction of the door.

"Now, please go to the meeting." Uncle Alpha commanded coldly and ruthlessly.

Glancing at Muggan, Olivia touched her nose and left.

Well, now the person who dares to command Olivia in such an upright manner... Maybe it's only Uncle Alpha.

With a smile and a salute to the uncle, Olivia glanced at Mugan again, and then walked away.

The moment he stepped out of this room, his expression immediately returned to normal, and Olivia was once again the young military officer with a proud smile on his face.

Gently rubbing the back of Yu Mugen's warm hand, he immediately put on black gloves.

As the first high-ranking imperial officer to independently receive a visit from a higher civilization, Olivia took the other party to visit several characteristic agricultural planets nearby. The existing trade cooperation has reached a preliminary intention. Mugen herbal tea, this tea unique to the empire, has become the first trade material that the Urabi people want to introduce. Without official authorization, Olivia used a personal Signed a supply and marketing agreement with the other party in their name. In order to buy this batch of precious tea, the Yorubians paid for various precious items they carried with them. As a symbol of friendship, they even provided the detailed information of the Yoabis people. .

The trade agreement with the Urabi became a symbol of the empire's entry into advanced civilization and was officially recorded in the history books. As the promoter of this agreement, Olivia's name once again spread to every part of the empire with news reports. corner!

The part recorded in history is bright and bright, and seems to be full of light and hope, but only the parties know how difficult it is to get to this point: if Sigma hadn't crashed the other party's scout mecha, the other party is most likely detecting After reaching the real national strength of the empire, he will attack the empire; if there is no force deterrence brought by the World Destroyer mecha, the other party will continue to sneak in; Grass tea, in all likelihood, this trade negotiation will not go forward; without the force of the Eighth Army led by Olivia and Olivia's own negotiating skills, this negotiation will still not go forward.

As a new civilization that has just entered an advanced civilization, the empire is as weak as an ignorant teenager at this time.

Yet so ingenious! They were so lucky to meet all the conditions!

The trade between the new civilization and the Urabi is like a signal. After that, people from other civilizations came one after another. In the example of the Urabi, they changed their behavior of trying to sneak in, and they visited the place with official friendly visits. The famous came to visit the Empire, and during this period, it was Mugan who was responsible for assisting Olivia with wave after wave of visitors. Over the next two years, Mugan signed trade pacts for the Empire with nine advanced civilizations.

Mugan's innate diplomacy was on full display on this stage. Like a friendly messenger, he conquered in various ways the visitors who were trying to fight the empire, and tied them firmly. A friendly ship!

At this moment, no one in the military questioned Olivia's original decision anymore: Olivia was right to give up the option of garrisoning the star field, but during this time, he became the only person in the entire empire. A man who can talk directly with other higher civilizations! At the moment when the empire has entered a higher civilization system, there is no more important site than this!

Holding the right to speak in advanced civilization, Olivia Augustus - this young officer who is not yet fifty years old, is now one of the most powerful people in the empire.
