Chapter 5: Star Wars"! It's confirmed!

5. "Star Wars"! Confirmed!

Tang Xiao had been immersed in the documents, and the information within them quickly integrated with the knowledge already instilled in his mind, beginning to become his own.

However, reading documents alone was not enough; the most important thing was to apply what he had learned.

"Mainframe, I am preparing to inspect the colony on Dawn Planet. Help me make the arrangements." Tang Xiao closed the screen in front of him and spoke.

[Understood, Administrator. Additionally, it is recommended that you bring your personal bodyguard when operating outside.]

"I have a personal bodyguard? Send him over." Tang Xiao was quite interested in this bodyguard.

The bridge door opened, and a burly figure walked in. He wore a military uniform, possessed a standard inverted-triangle physique, and had that familiar, steel-like, resolute face.

Upon seeing this bodyguard, Tang Xiao felt a jolt of electricity pass through his heart. "This... you... you wouldn't be..."

"Starting today, I will act as your personal bodyguard. You may refer to me as T-850." The man stood as straight as a compass, hands behind his back, and spoke in a somewhat raspy, resonant voice.

"You're a Terminator?!" Although wearing a military uniform didn't quite match the style Tang Xiao associated with this person, this was clearly Schwarzenegger!

"I am a T-850 series combat robot. The term 'Terminator' is not within my database. Please clarify." The T-850 remained motionless, speaking in a rigid tone.

"Is the Terminator also on our technology list? Mainframe."

[The T-850 is a robotic bodyguard equipped for you, Administrator. Its database contains data on protecting important personnel and combat in various situations, allowing it to complete tasks perfectly.] The Mainframe answered directly.

"Analyze the possibility of us mass-producing Terminators."

[T-850 robots can be produced, but the materials they use are a very rare tantalum alloy, and the output is extremely low. Furthermore, tantalum alloy is an important material for building starships, so mass production is not recommended. If ordinary steel is used, it will cause defects in the robot's original mechanical structure, making it impossible to guarantee performance.]

Tang Xiao looked at the face he had seen countless times on the screen and nodded, thinking to himself that if this were the "Star Wars" world, there would indeed be more suitable robots than this. He stood up and said, "Grab your weapon and come with me."

...

The transport ship landed on the leveled tarmac on the surface of Dawn Planet. Tang Xiao and the T-850 stepped off, and the workers nearby immediately began unloading supplies.

These workers were equipped with mechanized exoskeletons. Since they were engineering equipment, they basically consisted only of limbs and looked quite crude. However, they were fitted with various tools to handle many engineering tasks and could carry a load of 500kg.

The construction of the colony was already taking shape; over a dozen two-story residential buildings had been erected, and supporting facilities were also under construction. Tang Xiao even saw a few residents setting up open-air hydroponic equipment by the lake, beginning to grow crops.

Every resident, upon seeing Tang Xiao, would bow respectfully and greet him warmly.

"Greetings, Administrator. I am Graham, majoring in elite-level management. Following your appointment, I am currently the village chief of this colony." A young man with brown hair walked over, shaking Tang Xiao's hand with some excitement. "Because I was sent down right after the appointment was completed, I didn't get to see you in person. Just as I was feeling regretful, you actually came down to inspect yourself. This is wonderful!"

Tang Xiao patted his shoulder in encouragement. "I will continue to monitor the construction of the colony. If you have any problems, you can report them to me at any time."

"It is my honor! You gave me the opportunity to board the mothership and entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of being village chief; I have no way to repay you!" Graham was incredibly excited, but he adjusted his state. "By the way, Administrator, during our construction process, we discovered some local native creatures. They appear to be sentient life forms. How should we handle them?"

"Native indigenous people?" Tang Xiao frowned.

"Look, right over there." Graham pointed to the edge of a forest ahead, where some figures were indeed vaguely moving about.

Tang Xiao picked up his binoculars and looked. He saw creatures that looked like small, upright bears. They were about a meter tall, draped in animal skins, holding stone spears, and pointing at them with great curiosity. Some were cheering and jumping at the transport ship passing through the air, and a few were even kneeling and bowing.

His heart suddenly went cold. Tang Xiao, who had been a huge fan of the "Star Wars" series, felt the floodgates of his memory open. He quickly recognized the name of these aliens.

"Ewoks... they really are Ewoks..." he muttered.

No wonder he felt so familiar when he saw this planet earlier; the situation of 9 planets not orbiting a star, but orbiting a gas giant, was also very unique. It turned out that before he named it Dawn Planet, its official name was Endor, the planet Endor!

The reason he knew this was that Endor was one of the most famous planets in "Star Wars." In the movie "Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi," Endor was the main battlefield between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance.

If that was the case, it seemed this was confirmed to be the "Star Wars" universe!

It really is "Star Wars"... Tang Xiao covered his forehead and sighed. And Dawn Planet was the main battlefield!! It seemed he really had to worry about Star Destroyers attacking. His meager capital was truly nothing in this world. Although the Kushan mothership was huge, it was only a civilian mothership used for immigration.

So the question now was, what was the current era? There were no war wrecks in the space around Endor yet, which meant the war that led to the fall of the Galactic Empire had not yet begun. But before this war, countless things had happened in this universe: several wars had broken out, the Galactic Republic had split and fallen, the Galactic Empire had been established and fallen...

In short, this was a war-torn universe...

He thought for a moment and said to Graham, "Notify the mothership; the next transport ship will bring down a few crates of candy. These native indigenous people are not very aggressive. You can cautiously make contact with them and use the candy to establish a friendly relationship. But at the same time, strengthen defenses, build a few watchtowers in the area, and increase surveillance."

"Understood, Administrator. I will get it done." Graham replied.

Tang Xiao smiled at him and said, "Keep it up, Graham. Being the village chief of these hundred or so people is just the beginning. I look forward to the day you become a town mayor, city mayor, or governor."

"Yes! I will definitely work hard!" Graham's eyes lit up. He quickly stood at attention and saluted, then began working again with 200% energy. He grabbed a large crate and, without the help of a mechanized exoskeleton, ran all the way to the wind power station under construction nearby, joining the bustling work.

Tang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He walked forward a few steps, looking at the lush, pristine world ahead.

The babbling water, the mirror-like lake, flocks of unknown birds sweeping across the sky, startled herds of animals galloping across the grassland, with predators following closely behind, waiting for an opportunity.

In the distance, one could see giant trees towering into the clouds, as well as the overlapping, continuous mountain ranges. A thin layer of dark clouds was gathering in the sky; there would likely be a light rain soon.

If not for those strange animals and plants, Tang Xiao would have felt as if he were in the African savanna in spring. This vibrant world finally dispelled the gloom in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath...

...

"Administrator!"

"Administrator! Wake up!!" Some anxious voices woke Tang Xiao up. He realized he didn't know when he had fallen asleep—standing up?!

"What..." Before Tang Xiao could finish his sentence, he heard a series of *bang-bang-bang* sounds. He saw over a dozen crates around him fall from mid-air to the ground, the goods inside scattering everywhere.

"What happened?" He quickly turned to ask the T-850, who had been standing beside him the whole time.

"Just now, the objects around you suddenly floated uncontrollably, yet your physical condition was completely normal, as if you were asleep." The T-850 answered simply.

"I fell asleep standing up? And then the things around me floated?" Tang Xiao saw Graham nearby and turned to ask.

"Yes, we didn't dare to come over. Your bodyguard said your vital signs were normal, so we didn't risk getting any closer." Graham still seemed a bit shaken.

"What is this? Oxygen intoxication? Or..." Tang Xiao felt a sudden shock in his heart. He suddenly thought of a possibility, but it needed further confirmation. So he nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll take the next transport ship back to the mothership. Give me a thorough physical examination."

[Mr. Administrator, I am sorry to disturb you, but there is an urgent message that requires your immediate decision. Just now, the mothership intercepted a hyperspace communication sent from Dawn Planet.] The Mainframe's voice suddenly came through the communicator.
