Han Jiaxue had also co into contact with so knowledge of the universe these days. She couldn't help but ask, "During the bright night and dark night periods on Erald Sea Star, the thermal levels received by the planet are different, right?
Doesn't that an that during the bright night, the difference between day and night temperatures is not significant, but during the dark night, the temperature difference between day and night could be very large? Such alternating changes must be a test for the flora and fauna here."
Bai Zhongqi smiled faintly and said, "The theory of evolution will destroy any organisms that are not suitable for life on this planet, whether it be the people of Erald Sea Star or the flora and fauna that live here. They have already adapted to this situation.
In fact, organisms from any planet, when moved to another planet, would face adaptation problems, and in severe cases may even die within a short period of ti."
Han Jiaxue expressed her concern, "Then what should we do about the colonization plan you have arranged? Earthlings can't adapt to a 33-hour day and night cycle, and if it is so bright at night, wouldn't their daily routines be disrupted?"
Bai Zhongqi said, "Even on Earth, people in high latitude areas experience polar nights and midnight suns. They live there and get used to it."
"What about the food issue? Wouldn't there be any hidden dangers if we eat the food grown here?" Han Jiaxue asked again.
Bai Zhongqi shook his head and said, "We have already investigated this aspect, and there are no problems. However, to engage in agricultural production in Legendary Continent, we must select local plant resources to hybridize or genetically edit with crops from Iridium Star and Earth. Any civilization capable of cosmic colonization has organisms with a strong adaptability.
Earthlings moving to Erald Sea Star will undergo Genetic Advantage Liberation beforehand, which will grant them strong environntal adaptability, whether it's to the local food or to the climate and astronomical conditions. Essentially, for Earthlings to adapt to Erald Sea Star, it's about as challenging as dealing with jet lag on Earth."
After hearing this, Han Jiaxue finally felt relieved. But then she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. It was all Bai Zhongqi's job to handle these matters, yet she couldn't help being concerned about his affairs.
Bai Zhongqi knew that moving to Erald Sea Star still involved many tasks. Cultivating new varieties was secondary; what was primarily related to the lives of the settlers was timing. The lower the level of civilization, the less efficient their use of ti, essentially due to poor timing capabilities.
The people of Erald Sea Star used sothing like a sundial, a solar clock, to tell ti, dividing the day into 60 equal parts, with each part further divided into 60 smaller incrents. A major division was roughly equivalent to an hour, so Erald Sea ti equated to 0.55 of an Earth hour.
This thod of timing, apart from the precision issues due to the technological limitations of the people of Erald Sea Star, was obviously in conflict with Earth's 24-hour system and difficult for Earthlings to accept.
Therefore, the Scientific Research Institute recomnded to Bai Zhongqi that Erald Sea Star also adopt a 24-hour day, but since a day on Erald Sea Star was longer than a day on Earth, each new version of an Erald Sea hour was actually 1.375 Earth hours. In short, a second on Erald Sea Star was longer than a second on Earth.
In the vast United Empire of Iridium Star, naturally, the ti of each planet was quite different. Each Administrative Star calculated ti according to its own system and also followed a set of ti from the mother planet, Iridium Star, without deliberately converting between the two. Only during fleet voyages were adjustnts made.

Infia, located on the north coast of the Southern Continent, was a vast subtropical savanna and shrubland, with tall trees being quite rare. Even though the temperature during the bright night of this season was not much lower than during the day, it still carried a hint of chill.
Bai Zhongqi and Han Jiaxue seed to be strolling through the sparse savanna under the bright night, while the mobile infantry of Iridium Star, tasked with protecting the Chancellor, made sure nothing else disturbed Bai Zhongqi's enjoynt of the ambiance by cordoning off the surrounding area.
After a short while, Colonel Xiao Yu, clad in the Army-Breaker Armor of a Marine Corps officer, approached quietly and reported to Bai Zhongqi, "Your Majesty, our scout drones have discovered a campsite about ten kiloters from here. It appears to be a slave hunting team of the Ottland family.
They have captured a group of local tribespeople and are probably preparing to return them to Infia for sale."
Bai Zhongqi didn't think twice and imdiately responded, "Since we've encountered them, let's et them."
...
In the campsite, Yize He Ottland, the second son of the Ottland family, found it hard to sleep. Occasionally, the slaves in the camp would emit sobs, which greatly disturbed his mood. However, Yize, smart and business-savvy, chose not to order his subordinates to flog those lowly tribespeople slaves at that mont.
Ahead lay Infia, the most important city on the northern coast of the Southern Continent currently, bustling and flourishing with traders. The several dozens of slaves he was bringing back would bring in a substantial inco. If any of them bore visible injuries or looked particularly weak, those cunning rchants would harshly drive down the price.
Yize felt so dissatisfaction. Despite being more competent than his older brother, who was currently at ho recuperating, the older brother would eventually inherit everything from the Ottland family, while Yize was left to strive through his own efforts.
Slave hunting was a very profitable activity, but profit ca with risks. Tribespeople on the grasslands were nomadic, and so even had fearso prophets among them. These barbarians had roles akin to the respected Mages of the Northern Continent. Although they may not cast ice or lightning, they could use so particularly terrifying witchcraft and were notably formidable in combat.
Fortunately, as soone from the civilized world, Yize and his Slave Hunting Team were equipped with flintlock guns. He cunningly ambushed the tribespeople's Prophet, burned their village, and took the remaining villagers captive.
Indeed, these dark-skinned tribespeople were truly excellent workers. The average height of n from the Northern Continent was less than 1.7 ters, with a rather frail build. However, the tribespeople of the Southern Continent were on average over 1.8 ters tall with strong muscles and great stamina, seemingly naturally suited to hard labor.
Moreover, the won of the Northern Continent were generally petite and delicate, whereas Southern Continent won were tall and athletic. Many lords from several kingdoms of the Northern Continent were very fond of Southern Continent won, who were voluptuous and uniquely charming.
Yize recalled one of the spoils of this expedition, whom he thought was the most beautiful Southern Continent woman he had ever seen. Naturally, the noble young ladies of the Northern Continent should not be compared to these beast-like won. But as he swallowed his saliva, Yize couldn't help but think that these wild beauties were far more enchanting than the delicate young ladies of the North.
As Yize lay sleepless, lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt sothing cold placed against his neck. Yize startled and his body was pinned down by soone.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you."
