Chapter 148 - 148: Sleep With Zhao Yu First!_1
“Did you hear all what Colonel Chu said?!”
“I heard it!”
Uncle Da nodded. He had been monitoring the command center and naturally heard their conversation.
“Well, what do you think?!” Before coming here, Zhao Yu had specifically visited the base control center to ask if there was any possibility of defection from Uncle Da and others.
The answer he received reassured him somewhat. At a level 1 base, there were 10 bound robots, guaranteed to be absolutely loyal.
Now that the base had upgraded to level 2, the quota increased from 10 to 100, which meant he could contract with 90 more people.
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Da said, “I think Colonel Chu’s guess is very likely. 1 also calculated the trajectory of the out-of-control spaceships. It doesn’t look like a malfunction. The possibility of robots awakening is high…” “I’m thinking, why not upgrade the mainframes for people like Li Zongheng?” “What do you mean?!”
“My mainframe is a supercomputer inside the moon base. Even if the enemy sends something that can awaken robots, I can still control the situation…”
Uncle Da said seriously: “People like Li Zongheng are absolutely loyal to you, Commander. We can upgrade their mainframes, move them to a mothership, and then dispatch them to various military bases…”
“In this way, we can prevent the first line of defense from failing…”
“However, there are only nine of them, and we have twelve military bases…”
Zhao Yu thought for a moment and explained that he could still contract with ninety more people.
Uncle Da sighed with relief, “That way, there won’t be a problem…”
Zhao Yu nodded and said, “Then you go ahead and create five more third-generation robots, and also install the mainframes on the motherships…”
The two additional robots, Zhao Yu planned to have them lead the fleet, leave the defense line, and probe further.
“Sister He, are you trying to chase Zhao Yu?” Zhang Yi asked jokingly, looking at the meticulously dressed He Jingxuan.
“Yes!”
To her surprise, He Jingxuan agreed readily.
“This society is too unfriendly to women. If I want to keep getting promoted, the effort required is more than ten times that of men…”
He Jingxuan felt a pain in her heart. Several times, her performance was pretty good, but the higher-ups didn’t promote her, instead, they promoted several other men.
In between, some bosses subtly suggested that she could be promoted if she was willing to accept the unspoken rules. But she refused, of course.
“In one’s life, there are only three chances to change fate. I’ve missed two, 1 can’t miss the third one…”
Now, He Jingxuan had come to a realization. Rather than benefiting those old men in the future, she’d better find a man who is high-ranking and can greatly help her career.
Zhao Yu, not only has the relationship as a classmate, but his position in Blue Moon Tech is also not low. With his help, her career will definitely progress further.
“Beep!”
Just as Zhao Yu walked into the combat command, his watch rang. He looked down to see a message from He Jingxuan, asking if he was free tonight for dinner.
“I’m busy today, maybe some other time!”
Zhao Yu replied casually and entered the command room.
Inside, Colonel Chu and others were discussing something. Seeing Zhao Yu come in, they quickly came over.
“Commander, we have a thought…”
“Speak!”
“If it’s true that robots have rebelled, our base will become very unsafe. So, I’m thinking, why not set up a training camp to train soldiers who can drive warships…”
Zhao Yu stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of this plan.
He had a total of 100 contract slots, all used to contract robots, but they were still insufficient. Indeed, there was a need for some spaceships controlled by living people.
“Okay, I’ll build a warship driving training camp on the moon. You choose people from Earth…”
Colonel Chu was delighted, then he continued: “Also, I suggest building another laser defense system…”
“Build another one?!”
Zhao Yu was stunned. In Uncle Da’s previous plan, there were two defense lines, but due to limited resources, only one was built.
“Yes, the Mars defense line is too big, it should have consumed a lot of resources…”
“My idea is, taking the orbit of the Earth and the Moon as the center, build a circular laser defense system at a distance of 500,000 kilometers from the periphery…”
“In this way, even if the first defense line is breached, we can ensure the safety of Earth and the Moon…”
Zhao Yu thought for a moment. The first defense line was built when they didn’t know much about the enemy.
Now, he understood almost all about the technology level and weapon status of the enemy’s fleet.
The biggest threat to him was the collapse of the particle black hole, which was almost indefensible, and the only way was to limit the enemy ships’ approach.
Looking at it this way, it was indeed necessary to build another laser defense system at a distance of 500,000 kilometers from the moon and Earth.
Considering the range, it would be much smaller than the first defense line, and the resources consumed should not be too much.
Zhao Yu nodded in agreement, “Okay, I will arrange for the factory to build another defense line later…”
After talking for a while, Zhao Yu left.
After he left, Colonel Chu looked around strangely and said: “Did you notice that our commander seems to have a lot of authority?!”
Initially, they thought Zhao Yu was just responsible for coordinating with them and was just a puppet on the surface, with someone else making decisions in the background.
But now, he could instantly agree to establishing a military training camp and a laser defense system without asking for permission.
“Even what to build in the factory, and the matter of the training camp can be decided by him…”
“Is it possible that he has already been granted similar authority?!”
“After all, he returned to the base before coming here…”
“It’s also possible that the top brass of the Pangu Civilization had already analyzed our ideas and informed Zhao Yu in advance about the countermeasures…”
This surprised Colonel Chu. It suggested that the people of the Pangu Civilization might be even smarter than them.
“Sister He, why are we in a place like this?!”
Zhang Yi was a little scared, her hands tightly gripping He Jingshuan’s arm.
This was a bar. In the middle of the stage, a group of young men and women were swaying under the flickering lights.
He Jingshuan leaned close to her ear, “The thing I want to buy can only be found here…”
With that, she led Zhang Yi to an empty seat, placing a small yellow flower on the table.
Before long, a skinny man approached them, sitting across from them and asked with some uncertainty, “Da Zhuang?!”
“It’s me!”
He Jingshuan nodded and replied, “It’s a pseudonym. Is that not allowed?!”
The man chuckled, “Of course it’s allowed. It’s just rare to see a woman buying this kind of thing…”
As he spoke, he pulled out a pill from a bag he was carrying.
“Dissolves in water, takes effect in three minutes. No matter if the person is male or female, they will be immediately aroused…”
Before he could finish, He Jingshuan interrupted, “Do you have anything in an aromatherapy form?!”
She was worried that if it was a pill and Zhao Yu discovered it, it would be problematic.
“An aromatherapy version will cost a lot more…”
“Money is not a problem!”
“We do have!”
The man smiled and took out a bag of spice, and said, “This is a love spell incense. Have you seen The Legend of Zhen Huan? Even the emperor could fall for it. Most people won’t notice it…”
He Jingshuan nodded. This met her expectations. She countered, “How can I be sure your stuff is effective?!”
The man gave He Jingshuan a once over, then glanced at Zhang Yi next to her. Satisfied, he nodded, “Since you’re women, you can take it without paying. Try it out, see if it works…”
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll deny knowing you?!” He Jingshuan frowned.
The man gave a faint smile, “Well, the ones who should be afraid are you, not us!”
He Jingshuan seemed to understand. She nodded, “In that case, 1’11 take the love spell incense. If it works, I’ll transfer the money to the account you gave me earlier?!”
“Correct!” The man left the spice on the table and left.
With the deal done, He Jingshuan didn’t stay long. She quickly left the bar with Zhang Yi.
“Sister He, it’s just chasing a man. Isn’t this a bit too much?!” Once they left the noisy environment, Zhang Yi said in disbelief.
“I don’t know how to chase men, this way is fastest…” He Jingshuan also felt awkward. She had never had a boyfriend in her life.
The only thing she could think of was to act first – get Zhao Yu into bed and then figure it out..
