章 233: 232
V.30
Aiur the planet home to the oldest race known to Bright Galaxy, the Protoss race are considered the first race to ever step into space. Many of their traces can be seen on the records of many races.
There was a time when they can be considered the ruler of the bright galaxy. But they become a reclusive race for some reason unknown to all, and Locked themselves up in their sectors, preventing any contact with the outside.
They put a very powerful barrier separating their sectors from the rest. And until now, those barriers remain strong.
And out of respect to them, many powerful races have set rules to leave them alone lest they incurred one of the oldest races' wrath.
"T'Sar, the seal is about to break."
A very old looking Protoss was looking at the stars in the sky unknown to what he was thinking.
Sigh, "we have protected the seal for as long as I can remember, we honored our promise. But we all know one day this will happen, and we are preparing for it ever since." Said the old Protoss who kept looking at the stars.
"Indeed we have, but what about the others? They must be told. Said the young Protoss."
"And they will be when the time is right."
"The seal is about to break, there's no better time than now."
"I share your concerns, young one, I do.. but after eons of seclusions, who would believe us?"
"Rakash, there you are. I have been looking all over for you. Are you still going on about informing the outside world?" Said the big Protoss clad in armor.
"They deserve to know!. This Galaxy belongs to them as much as it belongs to us."
"The big Protoss shakes his head. Do you really think they will believe us? No, even if they do… them knowing it will only do more harm than good." Said the big Protoss.
"We need to tell them so they can prepare.. send me." Rakash insisted.
"Enough, Rakash! This is not a game. We will inform them when the time comes, but not before that, it's not your place to do otherwise. Return to your charge."
Rakash was about to retort but seeing the look of Ak'toh, he swallowed all that.
He shakes his head and leaves.
"Don't be harsh with him Ak'toh, and the child has a point." Said the old Protoss.
Sigh, "I know... But the outside world is in chaos right now. Invaders from the main universe are making a mess of things, and our former allies are gone. Young races are now ruling the galaxy. We already sent word, and yet no one replied back."
"Well, it's understandable they would not believe us unless one of us comes in person. But to do so would require breaking our barriers, And breaking the barriers is the same as breaking the seal." Said Ak'toh.
"I know… But Rakash is right, they need to be warned. Who knows, maybe one or two of them would be able to help us pass this apocalypse..." said the old Protoss.
Ak'toh looked up but didn't say anything else, as he knew that was wishful thinking. If they themselves don't know if they can survive when the seal breaks, how can those young races who only have a few thousands of years in history can help them.
Back in GT HQ.
Diana is looking at the report about the galaxy's current situation, despite the Chaotic situations, GT was actually raking in so much profits, months after months their profits increased several times.
But despite that, there's no joy on Dianna's face. After all GT has reached a bottleneck, their production capacity is already cap. And their technology advancement is about to reach its cap as well.
Despite how much Dianna doesn't want to depend on System Factory, by the end of the day, every technology GT possesses comes from Systems Factory, they can modify them as much as they want, but even that has its limit.
Even though there's so much room for improvement without proper materials and the right tools, they will not be able to manufacture them without relying on a system factory.
Bright Galaxy is huge despite being rated as a backwater Galaxy. GT only has access to a small percentage of its resources because many of them are the exclusive property of another race, and many of them are using those materials exclusively for themselves.
Which is not surprising after all the humans are doing the same thing. Many exclusive materials that can only be found in Solar systems cannot be traded to another race, at least not legally.
Of course, there's plenty of ways to get those exclusive materials; unfortunately, there's no way to get a lot of them regularly, and GT's need is enormous. Once they incorporate a certain material into their products, they would need a regular supply of it. And acquiring it through illegal means is not sufficient.
That's why they were very careful about what kind of materials they incorporate into their products because it needs to be readily available. And that greatly limits their capabilities to produce more advanced technology.
And that is the reason GT are sending agents to many places and races to acquire more materials. They are also purchasing mining rights to many resources planets belonging to other races.
GT itself already owned several dozen resources planets. The drones have discovered many of them. Some are purchased from other races. Few are purchased from adventurers who discovered them.
GT are paying a premium to the Adventurer, who manages to discover any rich resource planets.
Adventurers who discovered them know keeping a resource planet is impossible without any great power backing them up. So many of them sold that information to the highest bidders or to many Superpowers who can pay huge amounts of credits for them.
Any adventurers who discovered those resources planets could become a billionaire overnight, especially if they discovered a class A or above resource planet. Any superpower would pay a fortune to get those resources planet GT included.
But by the end of the day, GT is simply too young. Despite their current standing and reputation, the amount of resources and the planets they owned is the lowest among superpowers. At Least on the surface.
Legion himself owned several hundred resource planets inside Kidkat, one of the forbidden regions in Bright Galaxy. Unfortunately, most of those resources went to his Army. And besides, Arc has given him the order to save those resources, and sharing those resources to GT regularly will risk exposing his existence.
So Dianna never once asked Legion for resources. In fact, it was Legion who was asking for rare resources that can only be found in the main galaxy. And because of the scarcity of those resources, sending them to Legion doesn't attract any attention.
Dianna has been reading report after report, including current events and such. This has been a daily routine for her.
As the overall responsibility for the whole GT, every decision she makes has a bigger impact. Not just to GT's but to many who are depending on GT.
And so many influential people are constantly paying attention to her every move.
And as she was reading those reports, Tiffa walks into her office without knocking or anything; she is the only one who can do this, as not even Ash would enter Dianna's office without knocking.
Tiffa then went straight to the refrigerator, picked up some drinks, went to the couch, and sat on it.
Dianna continued to read without paying attention to her. She's used to it. They have been together since the very beginning.
"I miss Big Boss!" Said Tiffa.
Dianna put the report she was reading, stood up and went to the refrigerator, picked out some drinks, and sat next to Tiffa.
"Yeah, me too.." Dianna said so while looking up to the ceiling.
It's only when they are alone like this, they can be themselves.
"That damn Legion is not answering my calls." Said Tiffa complaining.
"Well, you keep pestering him about Boss."
"Yeah, well, Boss said he has a direct way to contact Legion, I was just asking if there's any news, that's all, but that bastard keeps hanging up before I say something," said Tiffa complaining.
"Wait when the Boss returns. I'll have the Boss punish him."
Dianna smiles but didn't say anything.
"Oh yeah, we got the deal on type 23 blue steel mine. I already signed the exclusive rights to mine it."
Dianna smiled and said, "I'll have someone set it up."
"I already informed Ash about it, and told him to set up security around the mine. As well as the logistics division, I told them we need to start mining it ASAP."
Diana smiles but didn't say anything else.
"Oh yeah, Tiffa, before I forgot, Anna and Amy would be visiting us two days from now, so free your schedule." Said Dianna, who already stood up to go back to her table.
Tiffa's pouting face lights up. "Really?, I miss them so much, let me finish all my work then." Tiffa stood up and left immediately after that.
Ring, ring! Dianna looks at her personal communication device, not many people can call her directly.
"Commander Markos, I didn't expect for you to call, something happened?"
"Yeah, you can say that. I haven't thanked you yet for rescuing my grandson. But that's not why I called, what do you know about the race Protoss?"
