Yuean City.

In a restaurant, Zhao Yu was eating when suddenly, two figures approached his table.

“Zhao Yu?”

Zhao Yu looked up to see two brightly dressed women, one of whom was his old classmate, He Jingxuan.

“It really is you!”

He Jingxuan said with delight, “I didn’t expect to meet you here…”

Zhao Yu was surprised, “Isn’t your family quite wealthy? Why did you come to Yuean City?!”

As far as he knew, most of the first batch of immigrants to Yuean City were ordinary people who had no opportunities back on Earth, so they came here. It seemed unusual for someone like He Jingxuan, a second-generation rich kid, to be here.

He Jingxuan sighed, “I am a woman after all, my family used the excuse of ‘development’ to send me here. The family business has been taken over by my cousin…”

As she spoke, she quickly introduced the woman next to her, “This is my neighbor, Zhang Yi…”

“And this is Zhao Yu, my university classmate…”

Zhang Yi glanced up and down at Zhao Yu. He seemed ordinary enough, so she didn’t think much of it, and simply got to know him.

He Jingxuan, of course, knew Zhao Yu wasn’t so simple. The fact that Zhao Yu could represent Blue Moon Technology at the ribbon-cutting last time was evidence enough.

She was not shy and directly pulled Zhang Yi to sit across the table from Zhao Yu.

“Hey, Zhao Yu, you used to work at Blue Moon Technology too, and now I do as well, we’re colleagues, aren’t we…”

Zhao Yu smiled and casually replied, “I guess so…”

Zhang Yi looked a bit surprised. She and He Jingxuan were among the first immigrants and were among the first to join Blue Moon Technology. Zhao Yu started even earlier than them. Could it be that he had already joined the company before the migration?!

Just then, Zhao Yu’s wristwatch suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Uncle Da.

He stood up and said, “I’m sorry, I have something else to take care of, so I’ll be going…”

Seeing this, He Jingxuan quickly said, “Could we exchange contact information?!”

“Sure!”

Zhao Yu added her contact and then turned to leave.

Once he was gone, Zhang Yi curiously asked, “He Jingxuan, your classmate also works at the company? What does he do? How come I’ve never seen him before?!”

He Jingxuan mysteriously smiled and showed Zhang Yi a video.

“The ribbon-cutting ceremony? Wasn’t that a long time ago?!”

As Zhang Yi was talking, she suddenly widened her eyes. On the screen was a man who looked exactly like Zhao Yu who they had just met.

What shocked her even more was that Zhao Yu was seated in the main position, next to the well-known Senator Chu.

“Who exactly is he?!”

“I’m not sure, but he’s definitely a senior executive at Blue Moon Technology…”

He Jingxuan looked through the window at Zhao Yu as he boarded the magnetic levitation car to leave, a hint of ambition in her eyes.

“My opportunity has arrived…”

She was a workaholic, with high ambitions in her career. Since being sent to Yuean City by her family, she had been working hard non-stop. In just a few months, she had already become the head of a subsidiary company of Blue Moon Technology.

Seeing Zhao Yu again now, she suddenly realized that she could use this opportunity to advance even further.

“Uncle Da, what’s going on?”

Inside the magnetic levitation car, Zhao Yu asked anxiously.

It was rare for Uncle Da to message him during a meal, usually it only happened when something serious was happening.

Uncle Da replied solemnly, “Our spaceship… has gone!”

“Gone?!”

Zhao Yu was startled and confused, “What do you mean?!”

Uncle Da projected a star map, showing tens of thousands of warships racing in the same direction in space.

“More than fifty thousand of our warships attacking the enemy suddenly stopped their attack at almost the same time and not long after, they turned…”

Looking at the situation on the screen, Zhao Yu was bewildered, “What’s going on?!”

“I don’t know!”

Uncle Da shook his head, “In the program I set, there is no such thing…”

“Moreover, three hours after their escape, the fifteen thousand warships heading to Pluto also experienced a similar situation…”

“I suspect the Moro fleet might have tampered with something, but 1 don’t know how they did it!”

Soon, Zhao Yu returned to the base in the car. He discussed with Uncle Da for a long time, but they couldn’t find an answer.

With no other choice, he had to go to the command center again.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Colonel Chu standing at the door, hurrying to greet him.

“Commander, did you give any other instructions to the fleet chasing the enemy?!”

“No!”

Zhao Yu shook his head, “In the instructions given to these robots, there is no such situation now…”

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the command room.

“According to your description, I suspect that the robots on our warships might have awakened!”

Colonel Chu made a startling analysis, “I have studied the trajectory of our ships after the anomaly, they didn’t malfunction, they even destroyed a small asteroid in their way…”

“Besides, their formation is intact, which doesn’t resemble a malfunction…”

Zhao Yu frowned, “Can robots really awaken?!”

He had only seen such a thing in science fiction movies. Does it really exist in reality?!

“Very likely…”

Colonel Chu said seriously, “According to research, the enemy’s warships seem to be controlled by humans, not robots…”

“This Moro fleet, as you said, has a civilization level of about 2.7, so their development of robots should be good…”

“But why didn’t they use robots on a large scale?!”

“So, I suspect that when robots develop to a certain stage, they will awaken themselves, which is why the Moro fleet only has a hundred warships and dare not use robots on a large scale…”

Zhao Yu frowned, this was exactly what he didn’t understand.

Because the Moro fleet came here with too few spaceships, only 103, they’ve been in the solar system for three or four months now, but they haven’t shown any intention to build a base for mass-producing soldiers.

If he were to invade another galaxy, he would definitely use local resources, colonize a planet first, then mass-produce soldiers, and finally attack.

“So, you mean, the robots awakening was caused by the Moro fleet?!”

“The possibility is extremely high!”

Colonel Chu nodded, “According to my observations, the fifteen thousand warships going to Pluto had a similar reaction at 3 hours 12 minutes 55 seconds…”

“I did a simple calculation, this time just happens to be when light reaches Pluto…”

“It is very likely that their mothership released some kind of signal that could awaken the robots…”

Zhao Yu was astounded, “They even have this kind of means?!”

Most of the ships under his command were controlled by robots. If the enemy could really make the robots awaken, it would be a major problem.

Colonel Chu said solemnly, “Now, the most important thing is to be careful that they send that robot-awakening thing to our base….”
