137: Chapter 137 He's here!

Stepping onto the warship once again.

Gao Yuan felt that world-dominating aura return.

Although he was still a small fry in the Future World, he would soon have the chance to turn things around.

For now, he would first pilot the interstellar warship to the Real World to show off his power.

Following his previous routine, Gao Yuan once again detoured to the far side of the moon.

And then, he disappeared...

Upon receiving the news, Su Muyan was utterly perplexed. What secret on the far side of the moon had he failed to discover?

It shouldn't be. Mining had been going on for so many years on the moon, and there were hundreds of human bases of all sizes. How could there still be something mysterious?

Yet, the warship had disappeared without any warning.

There were two possibilities for the disappearance: one, it truly vanished.

Su Muyan didn't believe that was possible; matter could change form, but it wouldn't just vanish into thin air.

Two, all of the warship's equipment had been jammed.

This was the most likely possibility.

Su Muyan cursed, calling them useless fools.

The people who went to inspect last time were useless fools.

There had to be a base on the far side of the moon that he didn't know about, one that could isolate all signals, and it was most likely located deep beneath the lunar surface.

Only there could all signals be blocked.

Once was an accident, but now Gao Yuan had gone there a second time. What exactly was there?

Su Muyan pondered. Could it be...

A ridiculous thought occurred to him. Based on human lifespan, Gao Qiu should still be alive, but no one had seen him for over twenty years.

According to Gao Qiu's son, Gao Gan, his father had encountered a solar storm while exploring the outer reaches of the Solar System, and the craft he was in had been swept into the depths of space...

Searching for a tiny craft in the vastness of the universe was like trying to find a bacterium on a sports field!

Naturally, Su Muyan didn't believe it, but if a person had been missing for twenty years, they had likely truly disappeared.

But now that Gao Yuan had gone to the far side of the moon for the second time in a row, Su Muyan suspected...

...whether Gao Qiu was still alive and in some sub-lunar base on the far side of the moon.

Perhaps he was planning something, and now the time had come.

Once this thought emerged, the more Su Muyan considered it, the more plausible it seemed.

How could a titan of humanity disappear so easily?

At this thought, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table a few times before he suddenly looked up: "Get Su Qian! Old Zhou is unreliable!"

Su Qian was the next-generation successor of the Su Family groomed by Su Muyan; he currently controlled the Emergency Management Department, which also held a portion of military power.

Soon, Su Qian arrived.

"Father, you sent for me!"

"I suspect Gao Qiu is still alive!"

Su Qian appeared much more heroic and imposing than Su Dai, and his overall demeanor was very composed.

Hearing Su Muyan's words, he frowned: "Why do you think so?"

"Gao Yuan has left in the warship again and disappeared on the far side of the moon once more. This is the second time. Last time, I told Old Zhou to check the far side, but his people said there was nothing there! I suspect there must be a secret base on the far side of the moon!"

Su Qian paused: "We've been developing the moon for hundreds of years. If there really were a base, it should have been discovered long ago!"

"What if it was built twenty years ago?"

Su Qian was somewhat confused: "Father, while it's possible, it doesn't make sense! Why would Gao Qiu do such a thing? What purpose would it serve?"

This...

Su Muyan was stunned.

Indeed, everything has a purpose and a motive. Gao Qiu's influence back then was at its peak. Although he couldn't topple the Three Great Families, they were suppressed by him to the point of having to cooperate obediently. At his most glorious moment, to dig out a base on the moon and hide there for twenty years? It was too absurd...

He laughed.

"I'm being too sensitive..."

It seemed Gao Qiu's influence was still too great, so much so that anything related to him caused Su Muyan to lose his judgment.

"However, that brat Gao Yuan disappearing there twice is definitely suspicious. How about this: send someone to investigate again!"

"Alright, Father! By the way, I heard Su Dai has been hanging around with Gao Yuan lately?"

"Yes, Father. Su Dai is no longer a child; he can't keep messing around like this. I suggest sending him to Neptune to guard the frontier!"

Su Muyan was taken aback.

"Neptune is too far. A round trip takes half a year. Besides, what's even on Neptune?"

Su Qian paused: "Father, I've been feeling that something is off lately. Our Su Family might be standing out too much right now. Uncle Zhou is fine, but Uncle Zheng from the Finance Department is a bit dissatisfied with you!"

"Old Zheng is just narrow-minded. Ignore him. He indeed dislikes me, but what does it matter? Our three families have long been intertwined with each other. When something happens, he will still stand on our side!"

"I know, I'm just afraid of 'what if'... Our Su Family's assets and clansmen are all in Shangjing. If something happens, it might be hard to recover. Neptune is remote, but the Governor of Neptune is your student. If Su Dai goes to the Neptune region, he can develop there. Even if... we meet with misfortune, he can still make a comeback from Neptune!"

Su Muyan found it a bit strange.

"Our Su Family is at the height of its power; why would we need that? Besides, from what I see, Su Dai only cares about playing. He'll just play on Neptune too! What could he possibly rebuild? It's too cold there, and resources are scarce!"

"Father, resources can be gathered from Neptune's moons. Neptune is cold, but it doesn't lack fuel. Even simple Nuclear Fusion can provide a massive amount of energy! If utilized well, it's far richer in resources than Earth!"

"That's true... Since you've proposed it, let's settle it then! I'll speak to him in a few days!"

Su Qian wanted to say more, but he hesitated and remained silent.

...

At this moment, Gao Yuan arrived in the Real World.

The warship activated its stealth functions, including optical and radar cloaking! The warship hovered directly over Muza.

At this time, a steady stream of newly produced robots entered the warship.

These robots were produced by Gao Yuan specifically for spraying gasoline! Now was the perfect time to test them out on Taiwan Island.

With about ten thousand of them on board, the space inside the warship became very cramped.

Gao Yuan felt a bit regretful. He wondered if he could get a sun-class battleship in the future; those were said to be over a thousand meters in length!

They were true behemoths!

The warship was originally equipped with various individual weapons, but most had been moved out. Only a few weapons remained, likely left by Su Dai for his own amusement, never expecting this warship would end up benefiting Gao Yuan.

Robots in position...

Sitting in the captain's chair, Gao Yuan gave a grand wave of his hand.

"Advance! Target: Taiwan Island!"

The so-called border guards on the island had been very nervous these past few days, fearing they would be wiped out by a sudden war.

Zhou Shan was a veteran with three years of service. Sitting on a reef and looking at Yuanfang with his weapon resting beside him, he was thinking about his conversation with his mother yesterday.

His mother had told him to come back, saying that the Xia Kingdom was about to attack...

Zhou Shan also knew that peace wouldn't last much longer. He wanted to leave too, but he couldn't. Those officers watched them even more strictly than prisoners... Their station was a small island; even if he wanted to run, there was nowhere to go.

In the midst of his gloom, everything suddenly went dark...

He looked up in shock as a colossal object flew overhead!

Zhou Shan was stunned...
