2188. Forgotten Project
At this time, the holographic projection of Minister of Intelligence Salatan-Morse appeared. The Salarian intelligence leader said, "Grand Duke, I have initially collected The situation of Rafa system. There are ancient Relics on all of them, and Galactic Empire also has a research station. It is very difficult to conduct intelligence work on Rafa system."
"I'm not here to listen to you complain about the difficulty, Salatan-Morse." Tang Xiao said coldly, "Immediately mobilize your strength to collect information on Rafa system!"
Salatan-Morse said in a deep voice, "I want to say that if we take action at Rafa system, we will undoubtedly provoke Galactic Empire, and it may cause a major conflict."
"Then provoke them. It's not impossible to attract Galactic Empire's attention to Eastern Outer Rim. You know what to do." Tang Xiao said.
"As you command..." The holographic projections of Salatan-Morse gradually disappeared.
The next day, Rafa system, Planet Seven.
In a research station established by the Galactic Empire, several archaeologists are busy. Rafa system had a huge and strange energy explosion about a hundred years ago. At that time, the explosion was even detected by Coruscant's energy detection system, and it also alarmed Jedi Order.
At that time, Master Yoda, the leader of Jedi Order, immediately ordered and sent an investigation team to explore. And Galactic Republic also sent a scientific expedition team.
Because before this energy explosion, Rafa system had always been considered a primitive galaxy. The environment of this galaxy is not good. Only Planet Four and the fifth planet have an atmosphere that is barely viable for survival, and there is an original species called Toka people (Toka) living on Planet Five.
When Toka people was discovered, it was basically still in the Upper Paleolithic Age. Moreover, Galactic Republic sociologists believe that based on the resource situation in Rafa system, it is unlikely that this civilization will evolve into the interstellar age.
It is unprofitable, so naturally no one will pay attention to it. Rafa system is just like countless other galaxies in the Milky Way. It was numbered and then left in the star map, never to be visited again.
But that burst of energy allowed Galactic Republic and Jedi Order to discover something new.
Among the eleven planets of Rafa system, large-scale civilization ruins have been discovered on all of them! Moreover, the material of these ruins buildings is actually made of a material similar to plastic, so it does not respond to almost all scanners.
This aroused great interest from the Galactic Republic authorities. They increased their investment and established scientific research stations on each planet to study these ancient Relics. At the same time, they are also studying the primitive race Toka people.
Then, they also discovered the ancient race called Saru, and began further research. This study lasted three generations and a hundred years.
Over the past 100 years, their funding has been cut again and again, and in the end, no one cared about the department. In the end, it was backlogged among hundreds of millions of various projects in Galactic Republic, and it became a project that no one knew about when asked, but there was still a small fixed expenditure every year.
Dr. Yako-Vesti is the current director of this project. At the moment, he is discussing with several other older scholars the words they have interpreted for Saru language.
If anything, their lives are actually quite nourishing. Galactic Republic, and now Galactic Empire, will allocate some money from scientific research funds to their projects every year to support the operation of their projects. And in fact, with the demise of Jedi Order, no one would ask about their project, and the project actually did not cost much money. When Imperial treasury checked the bad debts inherited from the Galactic Republic period, they could not be found.
The only thing that may not be good is that after entering this project, you will have to live in this harsh environment for many years, and the subsidies are actually very small. But for those scholars who truly love this cause and the ancient civilization Saru people, this is not a problem at all.
"... Actually, I think this word should be pronounced with a 'he' sound, and when pronouncing it, if you add a vibrato in the throat, it should express the opposite meaning." Dr. Yako-Vesti said.
"I actually agree with you on the pronunciation aspect, but I think the trill suffix should be a plural form." Another doctor said.
"Gentlemen, compared to the meaning of words, I have a new discovery." A geneticist came in and said, "I compared more than 70 different pronunciation methods of ancient Saru people, 21 of which require unique pronunciation organs. For example, the 'he' sound word we just discussed, the vibrato at the suffix cannot be produced by our human pronunciation organs."
"There is no doubt about it." Dr. Yako said.
"But here's the interesting thing. Toka people, well, those primitive tribes of Planet Five, their vocal organs can just produce all these syllables." said the geneticist.
"Wait a minute, you're saying... Toka people might be a distant relative of Saru people?" Dr. Yako was surprised.
"I think it may be a little more extreme - Toka people is the degenerate form of Saru people." said the geneticist. "If this is the case, it can explain why we have not been able to find Saru people's genetic samples, or even fossils, until now. Because these things have been in front of us from the beginning!"
Dr. Yako stood up suddenly and said loudly, "This is so critical! This is so critical! I think this can solve many of the problems we have been encountering!! Quickly, gather everyone for a meeting! In the next few years, we will live in the research base of Planet Five!"
Another scholar said with some reluctance, "Planet Five has nothing to study... and those Toka people like to urinate and defecate near our research institute. The research institute stinks all day long when they are there."
"According to our budget, this kind of inter-galactic relocation operation can only be carried out once every two years. And we just moved from Planet Eleven half a year ago... Do we need to apply for more funds from the Galactic Empire?" said a paleontologist next to him.
Dr. Yako said quickly, "Don't apply for funds! Now Galactic Empire doesn't know about our project at all. It's just because he inherited Galactic Republic's policy that he gets the funds every year. If we apply now, once Imperial treasury people check it, I'm afraid our entire project will be gone!"
The geneticist said, "We can still save this money in the next year if we live frugally. This is a major discovery! Big deal, go to Planet Five and I will clean the toilet for you!"
Just as they were happily discussing their new discovery, a gloomy voice suddenly came from the air, "It's okay, Planet Five, I'll take you there."
"Who!" Dr. Yako stood up very alertly, but the next second he was pushed back to his seat by an invisible hand.
Immediately afterwards, an electric current flashed through the air, and three people wearing black tights appeared in front of them!
