1. Hello, Administrator

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away……

A long, long time ago, in a very, very distant galaxy……

-----

STAR

WARS

*Star Wars*

-----

The Galactic Republic has ruled the galaxy for over 25,000 years, bringing prosperity, wealth, and security to the entire galaxy during this period.

However, over the course of these tens of thousands of years, the Republic has never established a centralized and efficient administrative system. Bureaucracy, oligarchy, and a loose governmental structure have made the Republic a massive bubble.

Grand, magnificent, and colorful, yet incredibly fragile.

Compared to a nation, the Galactic Republic is more like a loose alliance of sovereign planets, with countless hidden dangers buried beneath its opulent facade.

Starting from the most developed star regions at the center of the galaxy and extending outward, the galaxy is roughly divided into the Core, Inner Rim, Mid Rim, and Outer Rim regions. The closer a planet is to the edge of the galaxy, the poorer and more backward it is, but the more numerous it becomes.

Among the countless contradictions within the Galactic Republic, the most turbulent is the conflict between the impoverished and backward Outer Rim planets and the developed and wealthy Inner Rim and Core planets.

This is also the conflict between the exploiters and the exploited, and separatist forces are beginning to rise.

However, before these contradictions ultimately push the Republic to its end, a massive spaceship descended in the Moddell sector at the edge of the galaxy, writing an X representing the unknown for this galaxy destined to be plunged into a storm.

...

"You must make a choice... Tang Xiao."

"The stars are burning, the people are suffering, and millions of innocent people die every day... Now, fate has placed an opportunity before you. Will you accept it or refuse it?" A deep and mysterious voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Tang Xiao found himself standing in the endless starry sky, looking down at countless shining stars. "Am I dreaming? Accept? Accept what?" He raised his hands in front of his eyes, feeling both illusory and incredibly real.

Suddenly, a huge warship flew overhead! The warship was so massive that it took a full half-minute just to pass over him! Countless cold gun barrels continuously adjusted their direction, then fired a massive beam of light, more than ten times larger than his entire body!

Another fleet had appeared in the distance, and the two fleets were engaged in intense combat! Countless laser beams instantly filled the space, tearing the once tranquil starry sky to shreds!

Starfighters also took off, like mosquitoes, circling and fighting around the massive warships, with explosions of fire flashing by.

In the vacuum of space, everything was silent, but it was still too cruel to bear!

The warship overhead was hit by heavy artillery, its outer armor torn, and flames began to spread. He could clearly see the crew members being sucked out into the cold vacuum, struggling in despair.

"This is..." Tang Xiao looked at the other fleet in the distance, where the massive warships had triangular hulls and tall bridges, surrounded by countless H-shaped fighters.

His memories suddenly opened, and he was shocked, "TIE fighters! Imperial Star Destroyers! This is... the universe of *Star Wars*!!"

Everything around him suddenly shattered and disappeared like glass, and Tang Xiao found himself back in the brilliant starry sky. However, looking down from his vantage point, he could clearly see that every planet was engulfed in flames, with mushroom clouds from nuclear explosions rising one after another.

"You have made a choice, and fate will reward you." The deep and mysterious voice sounded again.

"Hey!! What are you making me choose? I haven't chosen yet? Hey..." Before Tang Xiao could finish his sentence, he was sucked away by a force, spinning continuously.

This feeling was terrible, like being flushed down a toilet.

"Hey!! Put me back!!~~~~~~~~~~"

...

[Arrived at the target star system, name unknown, coordinates unknown.]

[Initiating planetary scan function. Planetary diameter: 4,900 kilometers. Orbiting a gas giant. Rotation period: 18 standard hours. Orbital period: 402 standard days.]

[Atmospheric composition: A2 grade, suitable for human respiration. Main terrain: forests, mountains, tropical grasslands, plains. Surface water coverage: 8%. The planet's surface is of primary strata, with evidence of intense tectonic activity.]

[Conclusion: The planet is habitable for humans, but its size is too small to meet the needs of social development. Overall rating: B+.]

[The hyperspace core has encountered an unknown issue and is unresponsive. The mothership cannot perform a jump until contact is re-established. Cruise terminated. Initiating interstellar colonization procedures.]

[According to the Interstellar Colonization Act, Chapter 7, Article 1, the AI must awaken the administrator and have the administrator take full responsibility for the colonization process when it determines that colonization can proceed.]

[Awakening the administrator. Hibernation revival procedure in progress...]

[Hello, Administrator Tang Xiao.]

Hearing someone call his name, Tang Xiao groggily woke up from his sleep. He felt like his brain was exploding, as if it had been filled with a lot of new information.

Management, psychology, sociology, basic agriculture, basic industry, and other miscellaneous knowledge had been crammed into his brain like force-feeding, almost making his head explode.

The intense discomfort made him open his eyes suddenly, only to find himself in a white room, lying in a glass pod that was narrow but very comfortable. The white light from an unknown source illuminated the entire room, making even shadows indistinct.

Various unknown instruments were placed in the room, operated by automated mechanical arms. A few potted plants in the corner added a fresh atmosphere.

There was no doubt that this was not the Miki Miki Hotel where he had fallen asleep.

"What's going on..." Tang Xiao muttered to himself.

[You are the administrator of this ship, Mr. Tang Xiao. During your hibernation, you have completed the necessary knowledge training for the administrator. We have now arrived at a habitable planet. Please decide whether to begin the colonization process.] An elegant female voice sounded.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

[I am the core control computer of the mothership. You are currently in the living quarters of the mothership, and this is the administrator's medical room. After regaining consciousness, please proceed to the bridge. If you need any nutrients, you can request them at any time.]

"Mothership? What mothership?"

[This is a giant mothership equipped with a hyperspace core, used for interstellar colonization. The information of the originating civilization has been lost. Now, this mothership belongs to you. All residents and crew members have been selected and trained to participate in this interstellar journey with the greatest honor.]

[The mothership has 600,000 hibernating residents and 50,000 hibernating crew members. Any situation on the mothership can be handled by awakening the crew members. All residents and crew members have been rigorously selected and trained in different specialties to better serve the colonization process.]

[Additionally, the mothership has a giant embryo bank containing 5 billion different human embryos. Through biotechnology, the growth period of the embryos can be shortened to 10 years.]

[Now, the entire mothership and everyone on it will serve you, Administrator.]

Tang Xiao's mind was still in a state of confusion. He had just had a strange dream where a voice asked him to make a choice, and then he woke up to find himself in charge of a super mothership? A mothership that could carry 600,000 people couldn't be small, right?

He struggled to stand up and walked to the mirror in front of the washbasin. The reflection showed a rather sunny young man, but his face was pale.

His face was still his, but it seemed to have been very carefully maintained, with much smoother skin. His hair and eyebrows had been trimmed, making him look very fresh.

He was wearing a white uniform with gold trim on the large collar, made of soft and resilient material that felt almost weightless.

Am I...穿越了? The two words echoed in Tang Xiao's mind like a thunderclap. His previous life, his parents, friends, everything, had all vanished!

And he was alone in this unknown world! The intense shock made Tang Xiao stagger, almost unable to stand. He stumbled to the washbasin, wanting to use cold water to clear his head, but the water was warm.

Trying to lower the water temperature, he couldn't find the switch on the seamless washbasin, and a wave of anger began to spread in his mind.

"Lower the temperature!! I want cold water! Cold water, did you hear me!!" Tang Xiao felt a surge of frustration. He was angry, unwilling, and in a fit of rage, he punched the mirror!

The smooth mirror surface instantly cracked, and his hand was bleeding profusely. The throbbing pain in his head made him feel nauseous again, and he vomited onto the washbasin.

The medical room door opened, and two young and beautiful nurses ran in. One supported Tang Xiao, while the other immediately began to bandage his hand.

"The administrator may be experiencing hibernation abnormalities! He needs an injection of antominfen!" one nurse shouted.

A mechanical arm in front of the medicine cabinet quickly prepared an injection and handed it to the nurse.

"Alright, Administrator, listen to me. Your body is fine. This medication will help calm your nerves. Just a 2-hour sleep in a normal state will be enough." The nurse held his face and said earnestly.

Tang Xiao was extremely agitated, pushing the nurse away and roaring, "Keep the syringe away! All of you, get out! Out!!"

"But, Administrator..."

"Get out!!"

The two nurses quickly ran out of the room, but their shadows at the door suggested they were still waiting outside.

Tang Xiao sighed deeply and returned to the washbasin. "Set the water temperature to cold. Can you do that, computer?"

[I am the core control computer of the mothership. You can call me the mainframe. The water temperature has been adjusted. Please use it at your leisure.]

The cold water splashed on Tang Xiao's face, and he became more清醒. He began to piece together the events.

Clearly, the dream he had and the current穿越 were somehow connected. The mysterious voice asked him to make a choice, and whether he chose or was tricked, the voice said that fate would reward him for his choice.

Could the reward be this mothership?

What was the purpose of choosing him? Tang Xiao recalled the space battle he experienced in his dream, where the spaceships and warships were clearly from *Star Wars*.

Have I crossed into *Star Wars*? If so, in a universe where planets can be destroyed at the drop of a hat, this mothership seems woefully inadequate! Even a Titan from *EVE* wouldn't stand a chance!

Tang Xiao sat in the medical room for a long time until the mainframe began to urge him.

[Administrator, due to the severe shortage of resources on the mothership, if your body has recovered, please proceed to the bridge to take charge. If you still have issues, I will call the medical staff on board.]

"No need. I'll go to the bridge now." Tang Xiao stood up and said.
