Why are you here again, so frequently? You might risk exposure

Atop the tower, Chen Xiao frowned as he saw the heavily perspiring Zhang Tao.

Important intel Zhang Tao took a moment to catch his breath before he began to recount the information hed decoded.

As he spoke, the expressions of Chen Xiao and Zhuge Tao beside him constantly changed, their faces barely concealing their astonishment.

The Universal Federation, theyve really come to the Solar System?!!

Its true. It seems theyve sent a signal to our Earth, but it was intercepted by the Moon

With a relieved expression, Zhang Tao said, Luckily, Ive placed chips in numerous robots. Thats how we got this news

Are you certain the news is true?! Could the Moon have fabricated it?!

Its likely true. The message contained a set of binary codes corresponding to several images. It was all clear

Zhang Tao shook his head, I thought about it carefully at home. The Moon doesnt seem to have a reason to play such a trick on us, right?!

After some consideration, the two agreed with his point. It seemed that the Universal Federation had indeed arrived!

Fantastic! According to the Universal Federation law, the Moons blockade of Earth is illegal

An excited Zhuge Tao said, As long as the Universal Federation learns of our true situation, Earth could be saved!

But Chen Xiao was somewhat worried, I fear that the Moon might stubbornly attempt to hide the truth

If they do that, Earth could be

Wiped out!

The three glanced at each other, all feeling a sense of unease.

The chip on that robot was installed 20 days ago. It cant possibly have just received the news

So many days have pa.s.sed, the Moon has not made this public, and no one from the Universal Federation has come

Looking at this, the Moon might indeed be trying to conceal the truth

What can we do!

Zhang Tao looked down at a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p parked near the city lords mansion and had an idea. Didnt Zhao Yu trade for a bunch of weapons?

What if we use these weapons to break the sky dome in outer s.p.a.ce? Could we then send a message to the Universal Federation?!

No!

Chen Xiao shook his head, Since we obtained the weapons, Ive been ceaselessly simulating, looking for an opportunity to act

He pointed at the sky dome enveloping Moon Security City and shook his head again, The extraterrestrials on the Moon are always on guard against us. Apart from this citys defense system, theres another one covering the entire outer s.p.a.ce of the Moon. Its not something we can break through

Thats right!

Zhuge Tao nodded and said, If they dared to sell us weapons, they are naturally not afraid of us causing trouble. Besides, Ive checked, theres no star-destroying cannon among those weapons

This suggests that they are confident they can control the weapons sold to us. They arent certain about the star-destroying cannon, which is why they didnt sell it to us

He turned to Zhang Tao and asked, Youre the only one who can leave Yuean Security City. Do you have any way to go into outer s.p.a.ce and send a message beyond the Sky Protective s.h.i.+eld?!

I cant!

Zhang Tao shook his head, Even though I can leave Yuean Security City, I can only move around on the ground

What if we try to gamble? Chen Xiao proposed, a spark in his eyes.

No, their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps have security clearance. Even if I managed to seize one, I wouldnt be able to operate it

Moreover, an Al called Butler controls the entire base

After much deliberation, the three could not find a way to break the blockade and send a signal to the Universal Federation.

Chen Xiao pursed his lips and said, It seems that the only plan for now is to get the message back to Earth and have them figure out a way!

Yes, compared to Earth, breaking the blockade here is more difficult

Zhuge Tao agreed, Federal law restricts us. Once we break through the blockade and the Universal Federation sees us, the aliens on the Moon will not dare harm us

So, once we send the message back to Earth, all the weapons there, including nuclear ones, can be used

The three were somewhat excited.

Since the arrival of the aliens on the Moon over a hundred days ago, Earth had essentially been in a state of having weapons but not daring to use them or fight. Now, they could finally lift this seal.

But, can our nuclear weapons break through their laser defense system?!

I dont know!

Zhang Tao shook his head and said, No matter what, Ill send the message back first!

Yes, its best to make several copies of the information and install it on multiple robots. This will increase the chance of getting the message back sooner

I understand!

Once their discussion ended, the three dispersed, their hearts filled with hope.

If Earth joins the Universal Federation, it will make it 78 civilizations

At the first defense line in Mars orbit, the eighth military base.

Zhao Yu sat in a frigate, bidding his final farewell to Uncle Da.

Commander, once we cross this line, I wont be able to communicate with you

Outside the defense line, their communication was likely to be intercepted. Therefore, Zhao Yu decided to shut down communication with the moon once they crossed the line.

I know. Im counting on you to look after the base

Zhao Yu nodded. He had spent the last thirteen days mostly reading various types of science fiction novels, so he was more confident about negotiations.

Uncle Da choked up and said, Commander, if you die, I swear I will avenge you

Avenge?

Zhao Yu smiled. How could a robot understand vengeance? But he didnt reveal this, and nodded, Alright, if I die, you avenge me. And if you get the chance, help me understand the truth of the universe

The universe is vast, even traveling at the speed of light, it would take billions of years to cross. And the most terrifying thing is that the universe is still expanding, and its expanding faster than the speed of light.

The speed of light is only 300,000 kilometers per second, but the universe expands at a rate of 680,000 kilometers per second, more than twice as fast.

Even if we could chase at the speed of light, we couldnt keep up with the expansion of the universe. And now, our most advanced technological product, a small shuttle equipped with a Hall thruster, has a maximum speed limit of only 338 kilometers per second, a thousand times slower than the speed of light.

Even for the Moro fleet of a mid-to-late Stage 2 civilization, the maximum speed of a standard s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is only 3300 kilometers per second, a hundred times less than the speed of light.

Alright, as long as Im alive, Ill find out the truth about the universe! Uncle Da said firmly.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Yu felt greatly relieved.

He was human and would eventually die. But Uncle Da was different. He was a robot, or rather, an intelligent AL From the current human perspective, he seemed capable of living forever, perhaps even discovering the truth of the universe.

Enough, dont look so sad, Ill be fine!

Seeing Uncle Da so heartbroken, Zhao Yu hurriedly comforted him. Then he got into the frigate and left the first defense line..
