November 4th, Imperial Calendar 0050.
Viewed from low orbit, Mar Sara resembled an emerald set against black velvet.
The reddish-brown wastelands that had once covered the planet were now replaced by azure oceans and lush forests. Winding rivers, like silver ribbons, wove the continents into a vibrant tapestry of life.
Most astonishing of all was the Energy Shield enveloping the entire planet—
The pale-blue force field released by the Orbital Space Station refracted aurora-like halos beneath the starlight, making Mar Sara seem like a paradise enclosed within a crystal sphere.
"Atmospheric optimization complete. Surface vegetation coverage has risen to 78%. Water purification systems are operating normally."
Inside the Orbital Space Station's control room, an engineer rapidly swiped across a holographic panel with tentacle-like Cyberware. "Praise the Emperor. The transformation is 3.6 standard months ahead of schedule."
As the observation feed continued to zoom in, the details of the planet's surface gradually became clear.
Mar Sara, once ravaged by war, now brimmed with astonishing vitality—especially New City, built near the Space Gate to house refugees.
The entire city followed a concentric layout. Ecological farms stretched for hundreds of kilometers along the outermost ring, orderly residential districts filled the middle belt, and a magnificent cluster of Imperium of Man-style buildings stood in the core.
The moment one passed through the Energy Shield, the most eye-catching sight was New City's artificial climate control system.
Countless hexagonal climate regulators floated ten thousand meters overhead, releasing nanoscale mist that formed rainbow halos beneath the starlight.
Not only could the mist precisely regulate rainfall, it could also absorb dust particles from the air, ensuring the entire city remained forever bathed in clear daylight.
New City's main roads were laid with composite materials, with sensors buried beneath the pavement to monitor traffic flow and all kinds of
