Chapter 98:17 Days of Missing Contact

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 hasn’t come back!”

“The resources from Chang’an Blue Moon New District, have they not been taken away?”

“No!”

“What’s going on? In the past, the resources were collected every day, but now it has been 17 days, and still no warship 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?”

“It’s 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?”

“It’s 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 Moon’s 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 ships and robots traveling between the Moon and Earth.

At the moment when the signal device, accompanied by the robots and ships, 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 Yu’s previous trade involving the Skynet system and the chip.

After research, it was found that Skynet was indeed powerful, capable of infiltrating Earth’s 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 button, eliminating the need for the cumbersome 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 haven’t placed the signal device on the ship yet?”

“Or perhaps the ships or robots that secretly carry the signal device haven’t 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 shouldn’t 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 Skynet’s 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,’ ‘spaceship,’ ‘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 refreshing the keys associated 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 refreshing, so even if Chen Xiao and the others transmit messages back, they won’t be discovered…”

  • ??
  • Yuean City.

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

    “Why is Zhao Yu behaving like this?”

    “I don’t know. For the past two weeks, he has been indulging in pleasures, living a carefree life. There hasn’t been a shortage of women by his side. Sometimes, he acts recklessly, attracting attention. Even the city guards can’t control him…”

    “Chen Xiao, as the City Lord, don’t you have any ideas?”

    Chen Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, “Don’t 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 doesn’t even blink. I suspect he might be embezzling…” Zhuge Tao shook his head.

    Chen Xiao frowned and interrupted, “Enough about that. Haven’t you noticed that Zhao Yu’s 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 Tao’s eyelid twitched as he thought of a possibility and quickly said, “Perhaps the extraterrestrial spaceships 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 haven’t 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 Spaceship 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 didn’t you project directly here?”

    “Are you calm now, Commander?”

    Zhao Yu remained noncommittal and asked, “Well, what’s the matter?”

    “Right now, it’s not a dead end…”

    “Our spaceship is twenty times slower than theirs. Even if we wanted to escape, we wouldn’t 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 didn’t come, I would have to return to the base…”

    “The Moro Fleet…”

    “Even if I die, I will kill them first!”
