151: Chapter 151 Preparations for Interstellar Exploration

Chen Yu stepped forward and explained, “You don’t need to be surprised. Solara is an alien from a high-level civilization. Learning our language is a very simple matter!”

Chen Yu’s explanation shocked his family even more.

However, Chen’s mother, Xiao Shuzhen, was a little worried, so she leaned next to Chen Yu and whispered, “Chen Yu, this woman from outer space looks pretty good, but can she bear children for you? Why don’t you marry Su Rou and Xia Yueshu, as discussed at the dinner table last time? Anyway, you call the shots on Earth, so you should expand our Chen family as soon as possible!”

Chen Yu rubbed his forehead. As expected, his mother was thinking about these things, wanting him to marry both Su Rou and Xia Yueshu.

She truly was his mother; even when her son became powerful, she didn’t forget to have him marry more wives.

“Oh, Mom, what are you thinking about?!”

“You’re almost 26, so aren’t I worried about your marriage?!”

“I know. Also, Solara is also human, and I will have descendants with her. It’s just not possible now. When the time is right in the future, our descendants will directly become high-level beings!”

Xiao Shuzhen didn’t understand what Chen Yu meant by “high-level beings.” She only understood one thing: this alien woman could bear children.

After dismissing his mother, Chen Yu came to Solara’s side and awkwardly said, “You must have heard everything, right?”

“I didn’t hear your conversation with your mother at all.”

“Don’t mind what my mother said. She’s just like that. On our Earth, 26 is also the age to start a family, so she’s quite anxious.”

“Don’t you also have two women from Earth, named Xiao Rou and Xiao Shu? Why don’t you let them bear children for you first?!”

“You still say you didn’t hear? I knew it! With your ability as a Level 2 interstellar lifeform, even if my mother and I spoke quietly, you should have been able to hear us!”

“Hmph, I did not!”

Chen Yu revealed a “just as I thought” expression. Women, whether from Earth or outer space, always say one thing and mean another.

“Alright, let’s go inside. Today, I’ll let you taste my cooking. I’ll personally prepare a table of dishes for you.”

That evening, Chen Yu personally cooked, and Solara was very curious.

She wondered how the delicious food she had eaten at the White House banquet hall was made.

But this time, Chen Yu made lobster, abalone, and various rare delicacies from mountains and seas.

They were completely different from the shredded pork with fish sauce and twice-cooked pork that had been served to them previously.

“Chen Yu, are you sure this creature with such disgusting claws on its head is really edible? On our planet, similar creatures are disgusting bugs!”

Chen Yu looked at the hairy crab Solara was pointing at, her face full of disdain.

“Big sister, this is the most authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab on our planet. Its taste is so delicious it’s irresistible. You actually called it a bug!”

“But it’s completely different from the delicious food you served us last time!”

Chen Yu was speechless and could only explain helplessly, “Uh, hehe, Lala, let me tell you something. Don’t get angry when you hear it.”

Solara frowned!

“Speak!”

“Uh, the dishes I served you last time were just our Earth’s most common home-cooked meals. Compared to these rare delicacies, they’re nothing. I was just tricking you back then!”

Solara’s beautiful eyes widened into perfect circles!

“What? Are you saying that the delicious food you served us last time was your Earth’s most common food?”

“Something like that. But as long as the cooking skills are good, even these ordinary dishes are delicious. Don’t think I was neglecting you then.”

Unexpectedly, Solara wasn’t angry; instead, she was even more surprised.

“I didn’t expect Earth to be so backward, yet it’s so far ahead of our Mesolas Star in terms of cuisine. Even the most common food is superior to the most delicious ingredients on our planet!”

Chen Yu was dumbfounded. He had thought Solara would hold a grudge over this, but instead, she had this kind of thought.

“Hehe, indeed, our Earth is a planet that focuses on eating. No matter what creature is placed in front of us, the first thing we consider is whether this thing can be eaten!”

Chen Yu’s explanation made Solara even more expectant, eager to know what the creature with claws on its head tasted like.

After two hours of Chen Yu’s busy work, a table of rare delicacies from mountains and seas was served.

Lobster, abalone, sea cucumber, crab, tuna, and various creatures from the mountains and waters.

Of course, there were also famous dishes from various regions of Yanxia, filling the table.

Solara watched, dumbfounded, but felt a little disappointed. Why wasn’t there that shredded pork with fish sauce from last time?

“Huh? Sister-in-law, brother personally made a table of dishes for us, why do you not look happy?”

Solara forced a smile and said, “Why is there no shredded pork with fish sauce? That was the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten. Why didn’t your brother make it?”

Chen Jia looked confused. With so many rare delicacies, why would her sister-in-law miss a plate of shredded pork with fish sauce?

Chen Jia looked at Chen Yu in confusion. Could it be that her sister-in-law was simple and only liked home-cooked meals?

Chen Yu explained, “Your sister-in-law hasn’t seen much of the world. Before, when I hosted people from her planet, I just made some ordinary home-cooked dishes, and they found them delicious, so they left a deep impression!”

Only then did Chen Jia understand.

“Sister-in-law, let me put it this way: these dishes are much more delicious than the shredded pork with fish sauce you’ve been thinking about. Don’t you believe it? Try it!”

Only then, with Chen Yu’s help, did Solara pick up a hairy crab and a king crab. Chen Yu helped her separate them, and the crab meat and roe entered her mouth.

Solara was instantly shocked.

It turned out that Chen Yu and the Chen family were right. Compared to these delicacies, the food she had eaten before could only be considered ordinary.

Finally, Solara tasted every dish, and she was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth, just kept eating.

As expected, the aliens’ appetite was also extraordinary; she even gnawed a whole large shrimp clean.

She never expected that this disgusting creature from Earth, when cooked, would be so delicious.

This completely overturned Solara’s understanding.

The family thus enjoyed their dinner in harmony.

...

Time passed quickly. Half a year went by.

Chen Yu’s Earth Defense Fleet had already built 500 Attack Ships under the full construction of the shipyard.

The quantum base stations in space had also been built.

Chen Yu also built a backup quantum communication base station in a hidden meteorite crater on the far side of the Moon.

Two sets of real-time communication devices ensured that Chen Yu could control the situation here even after leaving Earth.

Because in these six months, the huge submarine hidden deep in the Pacific Ocean had still not surfaced.

This was Chen Yu’s only hidden danger before leaving Earth.

As for Mesolas Star sending a fleet again, he wasn’t worried at all.

According to Solara’s account, Mesolas Star currently has a total of 5 homeworld-class motherships.

Since one of them was captured by Chen Yu, Mesolas Star would not be able to send the remaining 4 at the same time to attack Earth.

Therefore, Chen Yu only needed to build 1000 Level 3 Civilization Attack Ships and leave them to protect Earth.

This would be enough to resist a single colonial attack from a Level 3 Civilization early-stage planet.

As long as the opponent wasn't fully prepared, it would be basically impossible to take down Earth in one go.

Chen Yu was more concerned about the American remnants at the bottom of the sea. They understood the Earth’s environment better.

They might use other methods to cause trouble on Earth.

However, Chen Yu no longer had time to worry about them.

In another half a year, after he had built 1000 Attack Ships.

He had to go into deep space for an exploration.

To collect materials for No. 1 Mothership’s Warp Engine at the edge of the black hole.

...

Another half a year later...
