Chapter 127: We Are the Ancestors of the Earthlingsli

“Why are there no signs of freezing?”
Outside the Martian defensive line, a scout ship moved back and forth, constantly scanning.
“Quick, request Scout Ship No. 2 to come over…”
On the other side, Seth, after receiving the message, looked puzzled, “What have they found?”
“We don’t know, they just requested Scout Ship No. 2 to go over…”
“Then send it over!”
Half an hour later, another message came from the front line.
“Commander, we have good news!”
“What news?!”
“According to the report from the front-line scout ship, during our last breakthrough, we shattered thousands of enemy warships but did not find any signs of freezing in s.p.a.ce…”
“No signs of freezing?”
Seth paused for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy, “Are you saying that their ships are controlled by robots, not live people?!”
“That’s right!”
A subordinate displayed a series of images.
In outer s.p.a.ce, among the large amount of ship wreckage, the bodies of one robot after another floated around.
“Two scout ships have thoroughly investigated. Among thousands of ships, not a single trace of freezing was found. Instead, we saw a lot of damaged
robots…”
“Hahaha!!!”
Seth burst into laughter, “This primitive civilization, they really don’t know the depth of the universe. They dare to let robots fully control their ships…”
The other captains also showed joy, “Judging by their ship operation status, most should be second-generation robots, and some ships might even have hidden third-generation robots…”
“Great, package this intelligence and send it back to the mothership!”
“Captain, we received a message from Earth…”
“What did they say?!”
“They’re mocking us, all circling around Shuttle No. 10, and falsely saying something about memorializing and mourning…”
Moro was furious, “These d.a.m.ned creatures, taking advantage and still playing innocent…”
From this, he was even more convinced that Shuttle No. 10 must have been infected with a software virus while crossing the blockade line, misidentifying the comet as Earth, which caused it to self-destruct.
“Captain, Seth has sent a message. He wants to request the Fifth-Generation
Planet Destroyer Cannon to break the defensive line…”
“Can the Fifth-Generation Planet Destroyer Cannon destroy Blue Star?”
“Based on calculations, one shot could break through their defense, but Earth is too far away, about 60 million kilometers. The trajectory would be very noticeable and would easily lose its energy…”
Moro pondered for a moment before shaking his head, “Their asteroid belt cannot withstand the Fifth-Generation Planet Destroyer Cannon, and building such a weapon takes time and effort…”
There was only one remaining engineering ship in the fleet, and its capacity was limited. It would not be worth wasting it on the Fifth-Generation Planet Destroyer Cannon.
“Inform Seth to station at the temporary base in the asteroid belt. Once the supply line is installed, organize the fleet for regular attacks on the gaps in the enemy’s line. We can’t let them repair it…”
“In the meantime, try to deplete the enemy’s warships as much as possible and wait for further orders…”
“Yes…”
“Commander, Da Xia says they have 1.5 billion people ready to join the battle…”
Zhao Yu was taken aback, “Did they really say that?!”
“Yes!”
This surprised Zhao Yu. He hadn’t expected Daxia to change so drastically, fully supporting them.
“There’s no need for them to join the battle. Since they’re so willing, let them help mine resources…”
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu added, “First, give them a batch of
Xiaotian to expand resource production…”
Uncle Da interjected, “Commander, the Earth Federation just had a meeting.
They are discussing expelling Da Xia…”
“Should we do something?!”
“Or, those who are disobedient…” Uncle Da gestured at his neck.
No need!”
Lately, Zhao Yu has been studying military tactics, many of which relate to royalty and n.o.bility.
One interesting concept mentioned is that a true ruler should be tolerant.
As the saying goes, under the heavens, all is the king’s land. Every person in the world belongs to the emperor.
For Zhao Yu, annihilating Earth is as easy as lifting a finger.
He had been pondering, if minerals and rare earths are resources, then why can’t people be resources too?
This realization dawned on him late. In most companies in Da Xia, there is usually a department called human resources.
Robots, after all, have their shortcomings. In the recent battle with the Moro fleet, most of the plans were conceived by Zhao Yu himself. Even Uncle Da, the best among robots, could only enhance a part based on data.
Moreover, when it comes to strategy, robots find it hard to adapt and grasp the key points. Their shortcomings are too evident.
Deep down, Zhao Yu had been considering using humans. But he hadn’t figured out how to ensure their unwavering loyalty.
However, he already had an idea where to start. He could learn the art of handling subordinates from past emperors recorded in history.
“How many first-generation healing machines were produced from the last exchange?”
“We have 20,000 units now, which can cure 10,000 types of diseases in Earth’s humans…”
“Send 10,000 units to Da Xia…”
Zhao Yu continued, “Tell them we come from Pangu Civilization, their ancestors…”
“What?
Uncle Da was stunned. What was this strategy?
Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then added, “Change the story a bit. Say our Pangu Civilization lost a s.p.a.ceship on Earth millions of years ago. The crew was forced to stay on Earth…”
“According to DNA calculations, the current inhabitants of Earth are all descendants of the crew of that ship…”
Uncle Da was even more confused, “Will they believe that?”
“Whether they believe it or not, they have to. Also, tell them the so-called
Galactic Federation is actually the Moro Fleet, here to destroy Earth…”
Lately, Zhao Yu had been thinking about the cause of Earth’s betrayal.
He realized it might be due to the lack of information given to Earth, leading to their suspicion.
Might as well give them a justification to serve him wholeheartedly.
“But, won’t they have any outrageous ideas if we say that?”
“Then add that the reason we built a base on the moon is to a.s.sess the Earth branch and see if they are qualified to be a tributary civilization of Pangu Civilization…”
“Captain, great news!”
“What happened?!”
“Seth sends news. On the Earth side, they’re ma.s.sively deploying robots to control s.p.a.ceships. Even the Mars line of defense is manned by robots…”
“What?!”
Moro was shocked. He quickly grabbed the report and after scrutinizing it, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Haha, it’s indeed a low-level civilization. Looks like they haven’t experienced a robot rebellion…”
“Excellent!”
“Quick, go to the data library. Retrieve the source code that induces robot self-awareness, package it together, and send it to them!”
“Wait, notify Seth’s fleet to prepare for battle.. As soon as there’s a rebellion on
the Earth side, launch a full-scale attack!”
