At the base in Xiadu.

Has Zhao Yu arrived yet?

No!

Colonel Chu shook his head, Ever since he took those one million immigrants, he hasnt come back!

The resources from Changan Blue Moon New District, have they not been taken away?

No!

Whats going on? In the past, the resources were collected every day, but now it has been 17 days, and still no wars.h.i.+p has come to retrieve them

They had been trying to contact Zhao Yu for these past few days, but they had received no response.

They also attempted to communicate with the robots on Earth, but again, they received no response.

Could there be some trouble on the Moon?

Its possible

Colonel Chu pondered for a moment and said, When Chen Xiao and the others left, did they bring any signal devices? Is there any news from them?

No!

Senator Zhou shook his head and said, Is it possible that this signal device malfunctioned, causing the Moon to react this way?

Its unlikely

The signal device is hidden in a mobile phone and only activates when connected to our Earth UMTS system

In order for Chen Xiao to transmit messages from the Moon, the expert team carefully studied and discovered a method to avoid detection by the Moons extraterrestrial beings.

They hid a specially designed signal device within a mobile phone and brought it to the Moon.

After obtaining intelligence, it could be stored in the signal device and placed on s.h.i.+ps and robots traveling between the Moon and Earth.

At the moment when the signal device, accompanied by the robots and s.h.i.+ps, crossed the sky and entered Earth, it would be received by the Xiadu Base.

Of course, the experts were able to come up with this strategy mainly because of Zhao Yus previous trade involving the Skynet system and the chip.

After research, it was found that Skynet was indeed powerful, capable of infiltrating Earths network and providing global, uninterrupted coverage. However, it also had a flaw that was not considered a significant disadvantage.

The thing was, the Skynet system was too powerful, so powerful that it would miss out signals that were sent with less advanced devices.

It was similar to modern people having smartphones and projection touch watches, where communication could be done with a single press of a b.u.t.ton, eliminating the need for the c.u.mbersome transmission of information through telegrams, as was done a hundred years ago.

After studying the Skynet chip, the Earthlings discovered this situation and found a way to transmit information without detection by Skynet.

Could it be that they havent placed the signal device on the s.h.i.+p yet?

Or perhaps the s.h.i.+ps or robots that secretly carry the signal device havent arrived on Earth?!

Colonel Chu shook his head, We can only wait and see for now. Currently, we must ensure that everything else is done properly

Has the program for diversion been prepared?

Of course, tens of thousands of top programmers from around the world have collaborated on it, so there shouldnt be any problems

It would be best to start it sooner, so we can take advantage of the confusion

In order to ensure that the information in the signal device could be transmitted without attracting Skynets attention, the Xiadu Base made a lot of preparations in secret.

They linked the wireless signals generated by the 8.5 billion netizens every day. In this way, even if the contents of the signal device were exposed, the Moon aliens would not suspect anything because the information was too normal, as they were the same type of signals being transmitted back and forth in trillions every day.

Senator Zhou nodded and added, Words like Moon, s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, extraterrestrial, Cosmic Federation, and so on are likely to be included in the intelligence Chen Xiao and the others may transmit

The expert team suggests increasing the frequency of refres.h.i.+ng the keys a.s.sociated with these words

This would make it more secure!

Colonel Chu hesitated for a moment and asked, How can we do that?

Senator Zhou smiled and said, The information known to us should closely align with what the public knows

Are you suggesting that we publicly acknowledge the existence of extraterrestrial beings?!

Yes!

Senator Zhou nodded, Only in this way can we increase the frequency of key refres.h.i.+ng, so even if Chen Xiao and the others transmit messages back, they wont be discovered

Yuean City.

Chen Xiao, Zhang Tao, and Zhuge Tao sat on the top floor of a towering skysc.r.a.per, sipping wine and scanning a certain direction, while communicating in coded language.

Why is Zhao Yu behaving like this?

I dont know. For the past two weeks, he has been indulging in pleasures, living a carefree life. There hasnt been a shortage of women by his side. Sometimes, he acts recklessly, attracting attention. Even the city guards cant control him

Chen Xiao, as the City Lord, dont you have any ideas?

Chen Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, Dont joke. Although I am the City Lord of Yuean City, within the lunar base staff system, I am only at Gt level, and I was even promoted out of turn. There is a big difference between me and those who were promoted over time

How can a Gi manage a Di? Moreover, Zhao Yu has considerable authority, and he has many combat robots accompanying him

Tsk tsk, this guy has incredible stamina. In the past two weeks, he must have had at least eighty women entering his mansion, if not a hundred! Zhuge Tao exclaimed, his eyes filled with envy.

Well, if you had as much money as he does, you could do the same Zhang Tao said with a faint smile.

When it comes to spending Blue Moon gollars, this guy doesnt even blink. I suspect he might be embezzling Zhuge Tao shook his head.

Chen Xiao frowned and interrupted, Enough about that. Havent you noticed that Zhao Yus behavior seems off?!

The two men froze for a moment and quickly became serious.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuge Tao spoke, It seems excessively unrestrained, as if he is trying to kill himself

Following this line of thought, Chen Xiao speculated, Is it possible that something has happened on the Moon?!

Like what?!

Zhuge Taos eyelid twitched as he thought of a possibility and quickly said, Perhaps the extraterrestrial s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps on the Moon are about to be repaired, and he knows his time is running out?!

The three exchanged glances, feeling that this possibility was highly likely.

Chen Xiao hurriedly said, Zhang Tao, among us, only you can go out. You must transmit this news back!

I know

Zhang Tao nodded solemnly and said, In these past few days, I have been trying to install signal devices on the damaged robots, and they havent been discovered

It is confirmed that we can bug these robots without being found out

In three hours, it will be time for the routine maintenance of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p No. 17405469.1 will find an opportunity to place it

You have lost three times already. Go and find someone else to take your place

In a private villa in Yuean City, Zhao Yu was playing a game with several women.

Just then, someone approached from a distance.

Zhao Yu caught sight of them and his smile faded. He casually transferred some Blue Moon dollars to the women and said lightly, You can all leave now!

The women were smart enough to quickly get up and leave.

Zhao Yu put down the playing cards and walked over to greet the person.

Uncle Da, why didnt you project directly here?

Are you calm now, Commander?

Zhao Yu remained noncommittal and asked, Well, whats the matter?

Right now, its not a dead end

Our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is twenty times slower than theirs. Even if we wanted to escape, we wouldnt be able to do it now

However, if we can strengthen our technology, acquire the particle black hole propulsion system, we can completely escape to the depths of the universe

Zhao Yu shook his head slightly and said, Even if you didnt come, I would have to return to the base

The Moro Fleet

Even if I die, I will kill them first!
