115: Prepare to return

“Commander, the exploration of this planet has been largely completed. The planet is not very large, and there are no threatening existences, nor any traces of indigenous people or human survival. It has been determined to be an uninhabited planet. Therefore, the most cost-effective method is to set up some early warning devices around the Ecological Base.”

Butler One immediately replied, simultaneously raising its hand, which instantly transformed into a screen displaying the entire Moon’s situation and resource distribution map.

“Commander, there are no threatening forces on this planet, so there is no need to expend a large amount of resources on armed devices for now. We can first mine the mineral resources on this planet.”

“Upon inspection, this planet contains a large amount of rare earth elements and abundant helium resources, as well as metal resources like aluminum and iron.”

“In addition, there is a large amount of water ice, as well as a relatively stable isotope that can be used as nuclear fuel, among other various abundant resources.”

“This planet can be defined as a primary resource mining planet.”

As Butler One spoke, whenever it mentioned a specific resource, the corresponding area on the arm screen would light up, displaying the mineral reserves in that area.

Watching this scene, Lin Yang finally felt as if he was in a science fiction blockbuster.

Then he realized that although there were no other resources within this Ecological Base, these Robots were the most valuable resources!

These were Robots manufactured by a Level 3 civilization!

Their various functions were incredibly powerful.

“Then, Butler One, are the currently available minable resources on this planet enough to build a basic spacecraft?” Lin Yang still had a bit of an obsession with spaceships.

“Apologies, sir, according to calculations, all the minable resources on this planet are not enough to build a complete basic spacecraft.”

“...Alright.” Lin Yang sighed.

“Sir, there’s no need to be disheartened. Our patrol team has detected a very low-level civilized planet nearby this planet. Perhaps other resources for building a spacecraft can be found there.”

Butler One spoke again, startling Lin Yang: “You can detect the existence of Blue Star?”

“Yes, sir, the patrol team is equipped with special detection devices. As long as the distance between two planets is not too far, some situations can usually be detected.”

Butler One nodded.

“This is the law of survival in the universe. We need to detect the situation of nearby technological civilizations to determine what decisions to make.”

“What decisions are usually made?” Lin Yang asked curiously.

“Lurking, escaping, attacking, establishing diplomatic relations, etc., depending on the situation.”

“Oh... Then aren’t you afraid of being detected in return when you detect? If the other party’s technological civilization is stronger than us, wouldn’t it be too late to even escape?” Lin Yang asked again.

“This is something that cannot be completely avoided. When neighboring planets all have technological civilizations, both sides will inevitably detect each other, unless one side’s technological civilization level is too low.”

Butler One spread its hands, making a helpless expression.

“Oh... Then, what level of technological civilization is Blue Star in the patrol team’s detection?”

“It’s very strange. Although the technological civilization level of the entire planet is not high, one country within it seems to have mastered some technologies far exceeding the current era of the entire planet.”

Butler One frowned slightly.

“However, Commander, there’s no need to worry. Overall, they are still at the end of a Level 1 civilization. The power within our Ecological Base has completely crushing strength.”

“If Commander thinks there will be some threat, we can dispatch an armed patrol team to strike their civilization, then plunder their planet’s resources to build a spacecraft.”

Lin Yang: “...”

He gave Butler One a strange look, not expecting this guy to be a warmonger.

It was just a butler, yet it would say such things.

“Well, Butler One, haven’t you noticed that my race and skin color are the same as the people from that special country you detected?”

Seeing that Butler One was not joking, Lin Yang reminded it, and then said seriously: “I am from that country, so don’t mention striking Blue Star civilization again in the future.”

“Apologies, Commander, I will strictly follow your instructions.” Butler One immediately bowed deeply to him.

“Alright, you go command the Robot team to mine resources. Store all the mined resources for now. Apart from the resources necessary for base operation, save all the rest.”

“Understood, Commander.”

Lin Yang looked at Butler One’s back and rubbed his forehead. He felt that this guy’s intelligence level was too high; communicating with it felt nothing like communicating with a Robot.

He didn’t ask how the patrol Robots detected Blue Star’s situation across the distance between planets.

These Robots were products of a Level 3 civilization, so it didn’t seem abnormal for their detection methods to be a bit outrageous.

Moreover, being able to detect Blue Star’s situation across planets was a good thing for him.

This way, no matter which planet he was on, he could always keep track of the situation on another planet.

Then he prepared to return to Blue Star to continue causing some destruction in other countries.

It was really boring here.

He didn’t need to do anything with construction; he couldn’t just watch those patrol teams mine every day, could he?

Besides, there was still more than a month until the United States and his own country landed on the Moon. Staying on the Moon before their Moon landing was bound to be very boring.

When he told the System he was preparing to return to Blue Star, the System suddenly said: “Host, I think it’s necessary for you to directly exchange a spacecraft using achievement points, and then return to Blue Star.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say achievement points were very important? Not to be used lightly? And I don’t necessarily need a spacecraft right now, do I?”

The System’s words made Lin Yang very confused.

The lander was enough for his round trip.

“The System detected that the lander was seen by people at your country’s Space Station the moment it left Blue Star. Although they have 100% trust in you, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it’s better to exchange for a spacecraft.”

“The lander’s functions are ultimately too weak. If you exchange for a spacecraft, they won’t even see a streak of light. It also makes it convenient for you to transport materials back and forth. You may frequently need to travel between the Moon and Blue Star, and even other planets in the Solar System, so the System suggests Host exchange for a spacecraft.”

“Oh... Alright then.”

Since the System strongly recommended it, Lin Yang chose to accept the suggestion.

He currently had a total of 131 achievement points.

These were accumulated from completing various tasks during this period.

His cumulative national treasure value had exceeded a million, and his reputation value was tens of thousands, but achievement points were only a little over a hundred.

This was enough to show that achievement points were indeed the hardest thing to obtain.

And the price of a spacecraft was...

I’ll be back in the next chapter.
