Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The s.h.i.+elding light curtain seems to have some issues, Uncle Da

Li Zongheng suddenly arrived at the command center of the Moon base.

Uncle Da projected his body in front of Li Zongheng and asked, Whats the problem?

The purpose of manufacturing the s.h.i.+elding light curtain is twofold. Firstly, it prevents lunar electromagnetic signals from being transmitted into s.p.a.ce and discovered by other civilizations

Secondly, it utilizes electromagnetic refraction technology to redirect incoming probing waves along their original trajectory, while also employing optical stealth technology to prevent external observation of the lunar interior

Li Zongheng paused for a moment before continuing, It seems like our optical stealth device isnt working properly. It appears that we cant see the real outside world from within the moon

Is that so?

..

Uncle Da frowned, nodding. There seems to be an issue with the device. Ill go check it later.

Seeing that Li Zongheng didnt move, Uncle Da continued, Is there something else?

Yes!

II

Li Zongheng nodded. If its an issue with the device, then the equipment sent to Earth may also have problems. Why dont we take them all back?

Uncle Da squinted his eyes and said, Li Zongheng, youre not in charge of this, are you not?

You are the base manager, and I am in charge of base security. Although we often act together for the amus.e.m.e.nt of our commander

Li Zongheng smiled, a gleam of brilliance flas.h.i.+ng through his eyes, But do you really think that I am nothing more than an actor?

Uncle Da furrowed his brow, somewhat uncertain of Li Zonghengs intentions. What is you intention?

Li Zongheng smiled lightly and said, I should be asking you the same question.

Installing the protective s.h.i.+eld on Earth was the commanders order! Uncle Da replied confidently.

The protective s.h.i.+eld you reported to the commander wasnt a bidirectional Li Zongheng smiled knowingly. Tell me your true intentions. Among the ten people involved, only you and I took that step. Do you think Im easily fooled?

Uncle Da took a deep breath and closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and spoke, We have to be cautious of Earthlings. Humans are terrifyingly smart. We cant compete with them in terms of intelligence

Thats your reason for concealing it from the commander?! Li Zongheng asked.

If you were in my position, what would you do? Uncle Da retorted.

Li Zongheng furrowed his brow as he tried to think from Uncle Das perspective

After a while, he relaxed his brow and nodded slightly. I understand. Lets just say that Ive never come here today and have never known about the malfunction of the equipment. Still, how long do you think you can hide it?

As long as I can Uncle Da replied.

The command center fell silent as the two men remained silent, seemingly preoccupied. After a long while, Li Zongheng quietly left, and Uncle Das projection disappeared without a trace.

I cant contact the aliens

Werent you supposed to meet with Zhao Yu? Contact him!

Colonel Chu shook his head. We did exchange contact information, but now the Earths electromagnetic signals are unstable, and wireless communication cant get through!

Are there no other means of communication? Senator Zhou frowned, feeling dissatisfied with Colonel Chus performance.

No! Colonel Chu shook his head. When they sent the prototype over, I specifically asked those robots to help inform Zhao Yu and see if they could keep a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p on the ground for communication

What did the robots say?!

They didnt speak. It seems they only operate according to a fixed program

Senator Zhou became increasingly annoyed. Werent their extraterrestrial robots supposed to be highly intelligent? How come they couldnt convey such information?

Perhaps its not that they didnt convey it, but rather the other party doesnt want to establish a communication point on the ground

During their conversation, the maglev car had already arrived at the Xia Capitals secret base.

You go to the command center first and find a way to contact the aliens. Ill go report the situation Senator Zhou said, swiftly leaving.

Only one person could make him go and reportthe one and only!

Colonel Chu pursed his lips, surprised that this matter had actually alarmed that person.

However, he didnt dwell on it and headed straight to the command center.

Several senators were already present, seemingly inquiring about the situation, and Chief Engineer Yang was explaining anxiously.

When Colonel Chu entered, the senators immediately left Chief Engineer Yang and approached him to ask about the situation.

Naturally, Colonel Chu recounted the information he had previously told Senator Zhou.

Xiao Chu, you didnt do a good job trying to establish communication with the aliens one of the senators said disapprovingly.

Now that Old Zhou has gone to report the situation, lets wait for further instructions an elderly senator suddenly stood up and, after speaking, looked at Colonel Chu and gestured towards an empty area. May I have a word with you?

Sure!

II

The two of them walked to a place where no one was around.

Senator Sun, may I ask what you want to discuss? Colonel Chu had some speculations in his mind. Senator Suns business was related to commerce and probably involved the issue of right of agency of the major products.

Have you already told them about the right of agency? Senator Sun asked.

Yes, it was all strictly following the Alien Negotiation Act

Colonel Chu shook his head. This is ridiculous. I cannot believe that our country is doing all this just to please a young man

Colonel Chu had opposed this plan when he proposed it, but unfortunately, more people agreed than disagreed.

All of this is precautionary. It might not be necessary in the future, but if it works, it might buy Earth an extra lifeline Colonel Chu insisted.

Senator Sun shook his head, not entirely agreeing. That Zhao Yu is just an ordinary person, a lucky one who happened to be chosen by the aliens

Xiao Chu, Im not criticizing you, but your handling of the alien situation hasnt been up to par

What you should do is not to please Zhao Yu but to find a way to send our people there

Isnt it better to directly negotiate with the aliens instead of having a middle man who were not sure may speak in favour of us?

Colonel Chu nodded, Youre right. We have prepared some plans in this regard, but we lack the opportunity to execute them

If you ask me, I think Zhao Yu played you like a fiddle

After speaking, Senator Sun turned and left.

The He family mansion was bustling with activity, as it was crowded with prominent business tyc.o.o.ns, a sight rarely seen before.

He Maosheng accompanied the distinguished guests throughout, his muscles almost twitching from smiling so much.

As for He Jingxuan, she was surrounded by a group of young ladies, who showered her with attention and care, leaving her both delighted and somewhat anxious.

Ladies, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit this time?

Of course, its for cooperation. Didnt we discuss it over the phone?

Yes, my family happens to have a project and we would like to collaborate with all of you

He Jingxuan got scared the more skeptical she became. She quickly excused herself and tried to find her father.

Dad, Grandma is calling for you!

II

Huh?

He Maosheng was momentarily stunned, quickly apologizing to the guests and explaining that he needed to leave for a moment.

To his surprise, all the guests were being excessively polite when he told them he had to leave for a moment. They even praised him for being a good son who cared for his mother.

So, the father and daughter went upstairs. They didnt go see the grandmother, though, because grandmother didnt even live here.

Jingjing, did you call me upstairs for something?

Dad, dont you feel that something is off? They all came over without telling us what they want to do. Also, they are all bosses of their companies. Im pretty sure if we look online, wed find out that they are actually CEOs and managers

I feel the same way, but I havent had the time to process all this. It was a good thing that you got me here

He Maosheng nodded. Wait here, I will call Uncle Liu and see what he has to say

..

Launch a rocket?!

Colonel Chu was getting anxious and quickly responded, But what if the aliens interpret it as a provocation? That wouldnt be good!

Senator Zhou pointed to the sky and shook his head. They have already caused such a commotion. If we dont find out whats going on, how can anyone sleep peacefully?

Contact your people and have them launch the rocket. Send someone to the moon to investigate!

Hearing this tone, Colonel Chu understood that there was no room for discussion anymore.

He sighed and could only find General Yang, urging him to launch a manned rocket into s.p.a.ce as soon as possible.

Now, we can only hope that our actions wont anger the aliens

When Senator Zhou heard his words, he approached, saying, You should hope that the aliens activities in outer s.p.a.ce are not meant to destroy Earth!
