Zijin the Matchmaker

Once the second flight was completed, the ground control unit received the data and began complex processing calculations. After some time, a detailed 3D terrain model of this area of hundreds of square kilometers was indeed generated!

The internal isochronous layers of the ice layer, the precise topographic undulations at the bottom of the ice bed, and even the subtle features of the subglacial geological structure are all analyzed clearly and presented on the screen with exquisite detail!

The Feather Race scholars and Chloe, who were watching, were all stunned by this miraculous technology!

"This is Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PoIInSAR) technology," Su Ming explained simply. "I won't go into the specifics of the principles, because it's really impossible to explain them simply."

This technology is the fusion of three cutting-edge radar technologies: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Interferometric SAR (InSAR), and Polarimetric SAR (PoISAR).

P-band SAR provides high-resolution imaging that penetrates the ice layer, InSAR provides three-dimensional spatial information of the object, and PoISAR provides detailed information on the target's physical properties. Only by combining these three technologies can the analysis of the complex internal structure of the ice layer be completed.

This "combination punch," which embodies the wisdom of countless outstanding engineers on Earth's technological side, is clearly not something these otherworldly scholars can easily touch.

"I've given up on learning this." Zijin's lament was almost tangible. "Don't you Earthlings have a bit too many fancy tricks up your sleeve when it comes to electromagnetic waves?"

"Don't worry. On Earth, even the most outstanding scholars can only master a small part of a single field," Su Ming reassured him. "Isn't your Taya's technological system also categorized?"

"I can at least understand the general principles of the subjects in Taya," Zijin sighed. "How can yours be so diverse, with each subject seemingly built from scratch, creating a completely different world of knowledge!"

Su Ming wanted to say, "Trying to master all disciplines shows how much you underestimate the level of information explosion on Earth. Let alone understanding the general idea, just the vast catalog of materials is too much for one person to read."

After planning its route, the Rainbow No. 3 UAV continued to survey other surrounding areas.

Then, Zijin and Su Ming began to discuss the negotiation with Chloe and Qingling.

"First of all, Chloe," Zijin said with a meaningful smile, "I've found you an excellent marriage!"

"Oh?" Chloe smiled, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "Tell me, which fool dares to marry me!"

As the former empress of the Star Empire, she staged a "death escape" that both sides knew about. But the key point is that she did not really die, and Emperor Xialike was definitely not the kind of person who could tolerate him "growing grass on his head".

Although the very existence of this "grass" as an interracial relationship is debatable, it certainly doesn't mean that His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't bury anyone who dared to covet his former Empress.

Zijin took out the Eternal Night Territory contract signed by the Cold Mountain Kingdom from her bosom, unfolding it to the marriage section. "Look, Gennazio! It is said that this gentleman is extremely emotionally stable; his married life will surely be very harmonious."

Stacy couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. This viscount was long dead; his death certificate was in Zijin's hands. His emotions, of course, couldn't be more stable!

Chloe carefully read the terms of the contract and quickly understood. "Sign this, and the Eternal Night Territory will belong to me!?" Her face was filled with shock, and her voice rose several decibels. "How on earth did you get your hands on something like this?!"

Beside her, Qingling's tubular pupils almost popped out of their sockets, filled with disbelief.

"As expected of Ainz Bone King and Bay Owl!" he muttered to himself.

The Eternal Night Territory in the Northern Lands is located on the North Sea, facing Northern Ice Island across the sea. The territory also boasts a naturally situated harbor with excellent terrain.

Eternal Night Port.

"Back then, in order to marry me, Xialike arranged for me to have the identity of a human noblewoman, so I do indeed meet the condition of being a 'female noblewoman' in the contract," Chloe analyzed. "Unless— the Cold Mountain Kingdom dares to confront Xialike himself."

"No, no, no," Zijin corrected mischievously, her eyes gleaming with a playful light, "Once you sign this, this contract will no longer be a contract in the eyes of the Cold Mountain Kingdom." Her eyes crinkled with laughter, "It will become evidence of their crimes!"

The Cold Mountain Kingdom would never dare accept this marriage proposal!

Everyone knows that Chloe is Emperor Xialike's Achilles' heel. So, if King Cold Mountain knew that the signatory of this marriage contract was none other than the former Queen Chloe, he would be considered to have exceptional mental fortitude if he didn't faint on the spot.

This leads to an interesting consequence: the Cold Mountain Kingdom would certainly be extremely unwilling to see the Feather Race occupy the Eternal Night Territory.

However, compared to the serious consequences of exposing this matter, they probably have no choice but to accept it reluctantly, and may even have to proactively send a new, formal land transfer contract in order to get back this unfortunate and deadly marriage contract.

The Cold Mountain Royal Family initially tried to avoid complicated procedures by taking shortcuts, but now they have successfully tightened their own noose!

"We should also pay our respects to your Feather Race's King, the Lord of Feather Command," Su Ming said. "Such a significant matter, the specific terms and negotiation details—I'm afraid only he can make the decisions, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qingling slowly sat up straight, her expression becoming solemn, and said seriously, "No need to look anymore, I am it."

Su Ming was genuinely startled, but upon reflection, he realized that no one stipulated that Chloe's students could not also be the king of the Feather Race.

Chloe, who had been casually leaning back in her chair, immediately stood up and sat down in the seat below Qingling. The Feather Race servants and scholars who had been chatting casually around her also stopped talking instantly and stood quietly behind Qingling.

What started as casual conversation among friends has now become political affairs concerning the fate of the race; the identity has been completely transformed.

Su Ming straightened his collar and greeted him with formality, "Good day, Lord of Feather Command!"

"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the kingdom of the Feathered Feather Race." Qingling's tone became more formal. "Regarding the ownership of the Eternal Night Territory, and the cooperation on alchemical material mining—"

As the young king spoke, his gaze swept over the ornately patterned parchment contract in Zige's hand, and finally a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

The Feather Race would never give up this opportunity they had longed for for thousands of years—to return to their warm and prosperous land! They must expand outwards no matter what!

"Then," he said, abandoning his regal airs and adopting a somewhat reckless frankness, "Please—be gentle with us as you slaughter us!"
