Early morning, bright sunlight, a deep blue sky, sunlight glimmering across the sea, artificially planted woods by the shore, and a refreshing breeze.
Everything here pointed to an extremely pleasant environment.
This was what the capital of planet X51R-B looked like.
Every terraformed colony planet had at least tens of millions of Templar Defenders handling environmental maintenance for the colony.
Planting trees, clearing garbage, and so on.
At night in the areas under their jurisdiction, they carried out maintenance work according to their programming, avoiding any disruption to the colonists' daily lives.
They also assisted the Engineering Team in building city streets, spaceports, skyscrapers, residential buildings, and all kinds of other structures.
The capital of X51R-B had been built on the planet's equator, facing an artificial ocean to the east. It was no less prosperous than Halifax City, after all, nearly twenty million colonists lived there.

Students likewise had to rise early and return late, washing up, getting dressed, eating breakfast, and taking care of everything else before the school bus passed by their homes.
