104: Develop the "Starlink" plan, and the blue planet will no longer have secrets

Long Yubing was stunned when she heard Lu Xingye, then immediately turned her head, staring at him dumbfounded.

“Haven’t you been with me these past few days?”

“When did you start developing combat robots? How come I didn’t know? You’re just messing with me.”

“Is that really okay?”

Just then, Lu Xingye noticed something was off and kept winking at Long Yubing...

Long Yubing fell silent, her face a little red. After an internal struggle, she decided not to expose Lu Xingye for now.

After all, her father, Long Yingtian, was much more annoying than Lu Xingye...

Long Yingtian was in a very good mood after receiving Lu Xingye's promise.

He had watched the live stream videos of the Xiao Mo robot.

They were absolutely awesome.

It was as awesome as a polar bear delivering snow to an old cow.

Let alone military robots, even civilian robots with that configuration could directly carry guns and go to war.

It was even more awesome than an old cow plowing a field.

Now that civilian robots were so powerful, Long Yingtian could look forward to military robots being absolutely heaven-defying.

During World War II, Kyushu's war was extremely bitter.

Many victories were achieved by soldiers sacrificing their lives.

At that time, Kyushu lacked weapons and technology...

They even had to seize weapons from others.

Long Yingtian once swore that he would strengthen the military through technology and no longer let soldiers make glorious sacrifices.

Every soldier deserves respect.

Now that combat robots have been born, they can perfectly take over the combat missions of soldiers.

This would greatly reduce the death rate of soldiers...

If the combat robots performed well, Long Yingtian even planned to suggest to the higher-ups to implement military reform, primarily using robots for frontline combat and soldiers for behind-the-scenes control.

All living soldiers would be replaced by a steel torrent.

Only then would Kyushu truly achieve a technologically strong nation...

Meanwhile, after Lu Xingye sent Long Yingtian off, he stopped watching sci-fi movies.

The matter of binge-watching sci-fi movies was not urgent for now.

Now that he had the military industry license, the most pressing task was to adjust Sui Huo Technology's business to develop into the military industry.

Before, without the military industry license, many of Lu Xingye's plans were put on hold.

But now, it was different.

The military industry license was in hand.

All previously shelved projects could now be restarted.

In addition to developing weapons and biochemicals, Lu Xingye also planned to develop satellite communication services.

With the production of robot companions, more and more robots would enter the market in the future.

This meant that Lu Xingye would control an increasingly large robot army.

This involved communication issues.

Lu Xingye was a person with an extreme lack of security, and he was uneasy about completely entrusting the robot communication sector to operators.

Therefore, launching satellites and developing satellite communication services was imperative.

Moreover, satellites were the vanguard for humanity to leave its home planet; if Lu Xingye planned to develop space business in the future, then launching satellites was a must.

Furthermore, after satellites were launched into space, there was another benefit—they could monitor the entire globe to a certain extent.

The times were developing, and everything was changing.

No one could say for sure whether Blue Star would undergo some unpredictable changes.

No one could say for sure whether there might be some unknown danger lurking on Blue Star.

For example: Alien invasion... For example: deep-sea monsters landing...

If Sui Huo Technology's satellites were launched, they could monitor these risks to a certain extent.

If these unknown risks truly occurred, he could react immediately. Even if Sui Huo Technology was unable to resist, he could still be the whistleblower for Kyushu.

He would be the first to sound the alarm, serving as a warning to the entire populace.

Lu Xingye had always positioned Sui Huo Technology not as a commercial company, but as a supreme arms dealer. If Blue Star truly faced danger, he had an obligation to protect Blue Star...

Lu Xingye called Sui Huo Technology's satellite plan the “Starlink” plan.

“Starlink” was composed of three hundred and sixty communication satellites.

Once all three hundred and sixty satellites were launched, “Starlink” would envelop the entire Blue Star, conducting 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring.

This way, Blue Star would no longer hold any secrets for Lu Xingye...

However, if developing satellite services, it would be a bottomless pit in terms of cost.

Each advanced communication satellite launched by the United States cost nearly a billion US dollars.

Converted to dragon coins, that was nearly 7 billion dragon coins.

And the satellites Lu Xingye planned to launch were quite a bit more advanced than those of the United States. He planned to incorporate a certain degree of attack and defense capabilities into the communication satellites.

For example: installing laser swords, laser cannons...

This would make the cost of launching a single satellite even higher.

Lu Xingye estimated that launching one satellite would cost at least 10 billion.

If three hundred and sixty satellites were launched, that would require a cost of 3.6 trillion.

Even the world's richest man would shed tears seeing this amount. This was simply not something a private enterprise could handle.

However, this certainly did not include Lu Xingye.

Lu Xingye possessed various black technologies, plus he could retrieve items from movie worlds.

Money was truly just a number to him.

Earning over 3 trillion was only a matter of time.

He believed that in just one or two more years, all communication satellites could be successfully launched.

Moreover, Lu Xingye also had a plan that complemented the “Starlink” plan—the VR game plan.

This plan was designed to make money.

As is well known, the internet is the easiest place to make money.

And the most profitable thing on the internet is games.

Because he was preparing to develop satellite services, Lu Xingye was severely short on cash.

He naturally wouldn't let go of this money-making project.

Penguin Group alone could earn hundreds of billions annually just from a single game, “Honor of Kings.”

Lu Xingye was very envious.

Furthermore, Penguin Group's reputation had never been very good, so Lu Xingye planned to target Penguin Group first.

The winner is king, the loser is a bandit.

In the gaming industry, there is destined to be only one leader, and that leader will inevitably be Sui Huo Technology.

The birth of new gods often symbolizes the fall of old gods.

Penguin, are you ready to meet the challenge?

While Lu Xingye was thinking, Long Yubing had already driven into the Honeycomb Base.

The main building of the Honeycomb Base was not yet completed, but several surrounding office buildings had already been constructed.

They could completely work there.

Therefore, Sui Huo Technology's headquarters moved to the Honeycomb Base.

After Sui Huo Technology moved in, besides an increase in popularity, many changes occurred:

Service robots were ubiquitous throughout the base.

Even some workers who were under construction were replaced by robots.

This was a high-tech base.

Don't let the gentle appearance of these service robots fool you.

In reality, they were all invisible guards of the Honeycomb Base.

In addition to monitoring functions, service robots also had the authority to kill intruders based on the level of threat.

Moreover, all these robots were supervised by the artificial intelligence Jarvis, operating fully automatically 24 hours a day.

With these service robots present, the Honeycomb Base was undoubtedly the safest place in the world. Even if the most powerful organizations in the world invaded the Honeycomb Base, it would be extremely difficult.
