After a long journey, the dynasty's inspection team finally arrived at the Black Star Palace and was received by Han Xiao in the guest room.
"Your Excellency Black Star, nice to meet you. We are the emissaries sent to inspect the Kunde Race this time."
A group of dynasty officers walked into the room in an orderly manner. The leader of the inspection team spoke with a respectful tone and took the initiative to extend his hand.
Han Xiao shook his hand and invited everyone to take a seat. The other party gave a simple self-introduction before taking out a document and going straight to the point.
"Currently, the Kunde Race has 113 residential planets with a population of over a trillion. This time, the dynasty's colonial inspection department has given us twenty-five unrestricted planets. This is the upper limit and not a fixed number. If we do not meet the standards, we can choose not to unrestrict them."
"At most, a quarter of the population can be unrestricted? I understand." Han Xiao nodded.
Every planet of the Kunde Race was isolated and could not communicate with each other. Thus, the process of cultural transformation on each planet was different. Selecting the planets with the highest degree of transformation was the job of the inspection team.
While the dynasty had other goals, and the inspection team was most likely just going through the motions, they still had to meet the standards. If the results of the transformation were not optimistic, the ban would not be lifted. The dynasty also did not want to release too many unstable factors.
After exchanging a few words, Han Xiao called the army's patrol team over and asked both parties to discuss the details while he left the room.
With his rank, it was sufficient for him to express his attitude. He did not need to be responsible for the details.
Han Xiao returned to his office and received news from Philip not long after. The dynasty's inspection team and the army's inspection team had reached a consensus and had left the Black Star Palace on a spaceship.
"Check the current situation of the various Kunde Race planets," Han Xiao instructed Philip.
He did not have the time to keep an eye on the progress of the Kunde Race's transformation. Now that the inspection team had arrived, he planned to take a closer look at the situation of the various Kunde Race planets. At the same time, he wanted to see how effective his advance notice was.
On the virtual screen floating in front of him, the information of the various Kunde Race planets flashed past, and Philip's voice sounded.
"Master, hum … After the news of the expedition team's arrival was released, the appearance of the Kunde Race's planets changed. The trend of anti-dynasty sentiments decreased by an average of 46%, and the proportion of haters decreased from 32% to 7%. However, the social security of some planets decreased, and murders occurred frequently. Some haters died from internal strife …"
"Killing each other … It seems that the arrival of the inspection team has given them hope. After more than twenty years of isolation, they know that unsealing the seal is the only way out for their race. Some of them cherish this opportunity, so they have begun to eliminate the stubborn ones. Am I right?"
"Yes, hum ~"
"It's quite rational. It's a group of wolves that will be wiped out … However, this kind of behavior may have the opposite effect."
Han Xiao scratched his chin.
They did not hesitate to sacrifice a small number of people to eliminate the diehards within their own ranks to show their obedience. At first glance, this action seemed to be for the greater good of the race. It was quite noble.
However, the dynasty looked at the problem from a different perspective. Being too eager to unseal the seal meant that they had a strong motive. Killing each other meant that a new hatred had been established. According to normal inspection standards, this was a sign that the degree of cultural transformation was not deep enough. They would have to continue to seal the seal until the target race's character calmed down.
However, since the dynasty had conducted the inspection many years in advance, they naturally knew that such a situation would occur. Han Xiao guessed that the standards would be very low, and this kind of behavior might have a positive effect.
…
In the next few months, the dynasty's inspection team visited one Kunde Race planet after another, and the inspection records were getting more and more abundant.
Kunde Race Residential Planet No.77, Sigaia City Prison, interrogation room.
The double-sided mirror wall divided the room into two spaces. One was the interrogation room where the prisoner was, and the other was the surveillance room.
At this moment, the dynasty's inspection team was standing in the surveillance room. The team leader of the inspection team was holding a file. From time to time, he would glance at the shackled Kunde Race member in the interrogation room and slowly read out the contents of the file.
"Barton, 22 years old, Mechanic class Super, graduated from the first Super Academy of Sigaia City. Extremely talented, with excellent results. He rose to Grade C during the inspection last year. Reason for imprisonment … instigating others to commit murder. A total of 126 people died under his orders, and he personally killed seven of them, including his family.
The deceased were all haters in the census records. He claimed that he did this to eliminate the stubborn ones … When the law enforcers came, he stopped his accomplices who tried to resist and chose to surrender. He also took all the blame for the crime. "
"How ruthless." The Black Star Corps inspection team leader clicked his tongue.
After reading the report, the dynasty inspection team leader cleared his throat, opened the communication system, and spoke to Barton.
"Barton, you instigated people to commit such atrocious acts in order to deal with the dynasty's inspection?"
Barton closed his eyes and did not say a word.
Seeing this, the dynasty inspection team leader continued. "Let's assume that's what you're thinking. There's no way you don't know that when you do a case, the law enforcers will definitely come looking for you. In order to eliminate the so-called diehards, you didn't hesitate to go to prison and even took the blame for some of your accomplices. Is it worth it?"
Barton shook his head calmly and said in a low voice.
"It's both a prison here and outside. What's the difference? On this planet, no one's life has any value. If I can exchange it for some hope, of course it's worth it. "
"You think you're very noble?" The inspection team leader was expressionless. "I'm an inspection team member of the dynasty. To tell you the truth, I really don't like your extreme actions. Your motives are too obvious. Do you think you can move the dynasty with such actions? Young man, aren't you looking down on us too much? "
The color of Barton's body changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. He said in a low voice, "In my life, this might be the only time I have the opportunity to be inspected. I'm just doing what I think is right at the right time. No matter what the outcome of the inspection is, I've reduced the source of hatred, and there will be fewer haters in the future. Even if it doesn't work now, the chances of passing the inspection in the future will be increased. At least my efforts are meaningful."
The dynasty inspection team leader was unmoved. He had seen too many examples of a defeated race undergoing cultural transformation, so he would not be moved.
He thought for a while and changed the topic. "If the planet is unsealed, what do you think we should do to quickly revive our race?"
"Join the Black Star Corps."
Barton's answer was without hesitation this time.
The dynasty inspection team leader narrowed his eyes. "Why?"
"Even if the ban is lifted, the Kunde Race will still be living in the territory of the Black Star Corps. In the short term, the Kunde Race will still need the protection of the Black Star Corps. Our civilization is still too weak.
If someone can become an officer of the Black Star Corps, the Kunde Race will be able to receive the corresponding help. Let the Supers work for the Black Star and use the individual to feed the group. This is the best way out for now. "
Barton said with a deep voice.
Hearing this, the dynasty inspection team leader could not help but look at the Black Star Corps inspection team and snorted.
"Looks like your publicity work is very good."
"Thank you for the compliment. It's all because of the army commander's leadership and charisma." The army inspection team leader chuckled.
The dynasty inspection team leader retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and thought for a while before writing a note on the inspection form and ticking a few boxes.
…
After the inspection team visited all the Kunde Race planets, Han Xiao received the final inspection results.
"A total of seventeen planets have met the criteria to be unsealed. The inspection standards are lower than I thought."
Han Xiao curled his lips and looked at the list of unsealed planets. Planet 77 was one of them.
After thinking for a while, he summoned Philip and instructed, "No problem.
Let's follow this list. Let the troops stationed on these seventeen planets guide the residents to familiarize themselves with the galactic society and issue a recruitment notice. Although the ban on the Kunde Race has been lifted, they have nowhere to go. A large portion of them will choose to join me …
Also, broadcast the process of unsealing the seventeen planets to the other planets. Encourage them to accept the transformation and regain their freedom as soon as possible. "
Han Xiao gave the order and looked at the details of the investigation process. He found the conversation between the dynasty inspection team leader and Barton.
"Oh, this kid is interesting."
Han Xiao raised his brows. He pulled up Barton's information and looked at it before speaking.
He then said, "Philip, inform the prison department of planet 77 to release this kid and let him join the army."
With Han Xiao's current status and level, he was not someone who could be easily moved by a few words. On one hand, he felt that Barton was a person with aspirations and was not a lazy fish. On the other hand, he felt that Barton was worth nurturing. After all, the Kunde Race did not have a Super system in the past, and Barton was one of the first to come into contact with it. He had become a Grade C Super at a young age, so his potential should be good.
However, Han Xiao did not plan to meet him. He just picked out a good leek from the vegetable field out of habit and did not specially nurture him. If Barton did not make a name for himself in the Black Star Corps, Han Xiao would not remember him.
After a few days, the inspection results were approved by the dynasty. The Black Star Corps immediately took action and unsealed the seventeen planets. Hundreds of billions of Kunde Race members were liberated.
On the day the ban was lifted, countless people cheered in ecstasy. After more than twenty years of suffering, they were finally able to see the light of day again. Be it the old or the young, they all had tears in their eyes.
Everyone still had prejudice against the dynasty, but most of them were deeply grateful to the Black Star Corps. Not only were they grateful to the Black Star Corps for notifying them in advance, but they were also grateful to Black Star for heavily injuring Modo, avenging the Kunde Race, and protecting them for decades.
Within the Kunde Race, the reputation of the army was unparalleled, and their relationship had reached the level of Reverence.
At the same time, in Residential Planet 77, Sigaia City Prison.
Barton walked out of the prison gate. The glaring sunlight almost made him unable to open his eyes. The streets were filled with revelers, and the noisy cheers came from all directions, both near and far.
The lifeless city in his memories seemed to have suddenly come alive. Barton was stunned on the spot, feeling as if a lifetime had passed.
"You're out of prison. Let's go."
The warden spoke from behind. He had received instructions from Black Star, so he did not dare delay and personally sent Barton out of prison.
"Isn't my case very bad? Why are you letting me go?" Barton turned around, shocked and confused.
Do you think I want to …
The warden cursed in his heart, but a stiff smile appeared on his face. "There's no need to thank me. The Army Commander personally asked for you to be released. He must have taken a liking to your ability. Work hard and don't let down the Army Commander's good intentions."
Barton's body trembled, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
The news had been promoting Black Star's strength every day. It would be a lie to say that he did not admire an expert of this level. It was just that Barton had always suppressed his admiration in his heart.
He had originally planned to sacrifice himself, but he did not expect to be released. Furthermore, it was personally instructed by the legendary Black Star. Did this not mean that Black Star knew about him?
All of a sudden, Barton felt a boiling hot current sweep through his body. He felt dizzy, as if he was drunk. His carapace quickly turned crimson red, as if it was cooked.
"Since Black Star … no, since the Army Commander thinks so highly of me, I will definitely not let him down!"
At this moment, Barton made up his mind.
He had to grow and become a cadre of the army. He had to prove that Black Star did not misjudge him today!
He hoped that one day, he would be able to stand before Black Star and express his gratitude in person.
…
"Your Excellency Black Star, our assessment work has been completed. We will take our leave now."
In the Army Commander's office in Black Star Palace, the dynasty's inspection team bowed respectfully to Han Xiao, expressing their intention to leave.
Han Xiao smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Go back and say hello to your superiors for me."
Everyone nodded and left in a single file. Soon, only Han Xiao was left in the room.
Han Xiao opened the interface and looked at the mission list. The first requirement of [Kunde Race Leader's Will], 'Provide protection during the cultural transformation of the Kunde Race', had finally turned into a golden completed state.
"Only the first batch of planets have been unsealed. There are still more people in the cultural transformation stage. However, since the first batch of Kunde Race has entered the galactic society, they will naturally take care of their compatriots during the lockdown period. I won't be the only one protecting them."
The corners of Han Xiao's mouth curled up. This could be considered as fulfilling the promise he had made back then.
"After protecting you guys for so long, I can finally collect some interest."
Han Xiao took a deep breath and chose to complete the mission on the interface.
A series of notifications popped up like a waterfall!
