Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Whilst holding a sense of frustration about the aliens, Colonel Chu returned to Earth.

As soon as he emerged, a subordinate came to report the situation.

Colonel Chu, have you been online today?

Whats the matter?

The subordinate brought a network cable, plugged it into a laptop, and showed him the selected comments.

Two robot reservations, a total of 1.1 million units. I would prepared half an hour in advance each time, but still couldnt get one

Same here. Thirteen people in my family tried at the same time, but none of us got one

Haha, in our schools large group of nearly 20,000 people, not a single person got one!

Maybe this robot reservation is just for show

No, I have a cla.s.smate who got one. He has won first prize in essay contests from primary school to high school. Oh, his name is Yuan Hua

I have a rich cla.s.smate who got one too. I heard he went out his way to drive to Xiadu, just so he could get to know the wealthy people there

As Colonel Chu read these comments, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he asked, Did someone use underhanded methods to get robots?

No!

The subordinate denied it immediately and said seriously, This is a matter of great importance. We have exclusive spots, and theres absolutely no such thing. Even I didnt get one

Maybe someone just got lucky. When will the third batch of robots be delivered?

The subordinate looked worried and said, Sir, the Changan Factory has built a lot of robots, but we lack the resources to make the trade with Blue Moon dollars

Lack of equivalent resources

Colonel Chu muttered.

Although the production line for these robots is in Great Xia, every sale requires them to exchange resources for Blue Moon dollars with Zhao Yus side in advance, and then use the Blue Moon dollars to purchase the robots.

Suddenly, he seemed to have figured something out, his eyes brightened, and he patted his subordinates shoulder, praising, Well done!

After saying that, he hurriedly went downstairs.

The subordinate looked puzzled, not understanding what he had done to earn the leaders appreciation.

In the underground base, the members of parliament were about to disperse when Colonel Chu suddenly called them back.

Is there something wrong?

There is!

Colonel Chu smiled and said, Ive figured out a way to refuse Zhao Yus construction of SkyNet!

What?!

Everyone was shocked and quickly asked for details.

In response, Member Zhou spoke up, Lets go back to the conference room first!

Soon, the members of parliament, along with the members of the think tank, returned to the conference room.

Colonel Chu, what solution have you come up with? Tell us quickly! impatiently asked Member Sun.

Colonel Chu smiled slightly and said, Do you know what I saw when I just went online?

Colonel Chu, please dont keep us in suspense. Speak directly. I cant handle any more surprises at my age one member said helplessly.

Colonel Chu nodded and didnt waste any more time. He said, There are many comments online about people not being able to get the robots

I asked around, and its not that the production at the Changan Factory is insufficient. On the contrary, they have built many robots, but they are all sitting in the warehouse and cant be sold

They cant be sold?

Member Zhou was taken aback for a moment and realized the key point. He exclaimed, You mean Blue Moon dollar?!

Exactly!

Colonel Chu laughed and said, Our initial deal with Zhao Yu was to exchange resources for their Blue Moon Coins and then use the Blue Moon Coins to purchase their products

Now, our Earths reserve of resources is almost empty

Mainly due to the fusion power plant, which took away 2 billion Blue Moon dollars worth of resources at once, leaving many reserves completely drained. That SkyNet, even if its not as good as the Sky Curtain and the laser defense system around the planet, the price is definitely not low

So, we cant afford it!

Everyone was delighted.

In this case, its not that we dont want to buy it, but we simply cant afford it!

One wise member spoke up, To be safe, I think we can continue to expand the orders for robots, as well as the orders for maglev buses. In any case, lets owe tens of billions of Blue Moon dollars first

Yes, and the light ladder. Originally, we didnt want to push forward with that project, but now it can be put on the agenda. Lets promote it vigorously and have major companies place orders directly

Also, the netizens who couldnt get the robots seem quite agitated. We can amplify their voices. Even if Zhao Yu wants us to prioritize buying his SkyNct, we can use the netizens opinions as an argument

Thats right. Its not that we dont want to buy it, but we lack resources. Moreover, the public is going crazy over the robots, and we have no choice but to prioritize supplying the robots

Everyone brainstormed, and a series of measures were quickly devised.

Colonel Chu, thanks to you this time

Colonel Chu smiled and said, Its nothing. I just discovered it a little earlier than you did. When you all go online, youll naturally see these things Good. We cant delay. Lets quickly implement the measures and get prepared before Zhao Yu arrives!

Everyone left as soon as their tasks were a.s.signmened.

Blue Moon Technology.

Three flags.h.i.+p products, shocking the world.

Robotic manufacturing, replacing human labor.

Interest-free loans, a cause for nationwide celebration.

Many heartwarming stories about people trying to get their hands on robots.

II II

On the internet, there was an endless discussion about people not being able to secure a reservation for the robots. Many netizens even wrote humorous poems to mock the situation.

This time, the fire spread with the wind, and the wind fueled the fire, turning it into a nationwide frenzy.

At the same time, unbeknownst to the netizens, a bidding event with thousands of attendees was taking place.

Representatives from various companies across Great Xia sat in the audience, while Colonel Chu stood on the stage.

Im a straightforward person, I dont like beating around the bush, so lets get straight to the point

Youve all seen the prospects of the maglev bus project. In recent days, over 30,000 companies have inquired about related investment projects

After careful consideration, we have decided to allow private funds to enter the market, benefiting the people

There are no restrictions on partic.i.p.ation. All companies, big and small, are welcome to join

Although he said that, the audience did not show much excitement.

Those who were present here were not fools. How could such a stroke of good fortune fall into their laps?

Seeing this, Colonel Chu continued, Of course, due to production capacity constraints, there may be some delays in the delivery of the maglev buses

Upon hearing this, the audience finally got excited and started clamoring to place their orders.

Colonel Chu wasted no time and immediately dispatched tens of thousands of prepared staff members to provide one-on-one service and sign contracts on the spot.

In just one hour, nearly 800,000 contracts for maglev buses were signed.

A smile appeared on Colonel Chus face. 800,000 buses equated to 8 billion Blue Moon dollars.

However, at present, Earth did not have 8 billion Blue Moon dollars worth of resources.. Even if they did, if the companies had already paid the money, wouldnt they be given priority in receiving the products?!
