Chapter 1515: Before Becoming History, Great Men Were Also Humans

“Why is it tattered again?”

In a small room, Han Ming looked at the robot whose skin had been completely destroyed, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He wanted to complain about this last time, but since the customer was always right, he reluctantly resisted it. But this time, in less than half a month, the skin that he worked hard on was ruined again.

If he didn’t want to make money, he would simply say, “It will be ruined in the end, you might as well just put a toy dress on it.”

Lu Zhou gave him a strange look.

“I visit frequently, shouldn’t you be happy?”

“Technically, yes, but I feel frustrated when I see my masterpieces randomly crumpled up and thrown in the bin.” Han Ming sighed. “Come with me.”

Ling glanced at Lu Zhou. When his commander nodded, he followed Han Ming towards the room.

Sitting on the chair and waiting quietly, Lu Zhou noticed that the little girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old sitting opposite him was looking at him curiously. If his memory was correct, this child should be Han Ming’s assistant.

However, when he cast his gaze on her, she quickly looked away.

“Why are you staring at me?”

The little girl blushed in embarrassment and shook her head quickly as she said, “No, no… just a little curious.”

“Curious about what?”

The little girl whispered and said, “The boss won’t let me inquire about the guests.”

“Just ask me if you want.”

“Then I’ll ask, don’t be angry.” The little girl blinked and asked curiously, “Are you… really Academician Lu?”

Do people still wonder who I am?

Lu Zhou smiled. In his mind, he was shaking his head. He then said, “Yeah.”

“Sigh…”

“What?”

“Nothing.” The little girl shook her head and whispered, “I always thought that the great men in history were all serious people…”

Lu Zhou thought about it and spoke.

“Before becoming part of history, great men were also just humans.”

“Before becoming part of history…”

“What?”

“I always hear people talk about that era, but I still can’t imagine it. An era without robots and virtual reality technology.” The little girl touched the back of her head embarrassedly and said with a shy smile, “Maybe because my job is to transform robots.”

“In that era, many of the jobs that AIs are now doing were done by humans, but there is no difference in its essence.”

“The jobs that people do… Include waiters and truck drivers?”

“Of course.”

In the 21st century, a car must be driven by someone, with a high rate of traffic incidents.

But now, because artificial intelligence was responsible for planning traffic, even though modern cars were much faster than in the past, they had basically eliminated things such as car accidents.

“It’s hard to imagine…” The little girl sighed and said, “If robots are unusable one day, I feel like… the consequences will be very serious.”

Lu Zhou: “That kind of thing won’t happen.”

“Why?” The little girl blinked and asked, “I saw it on the Internet yesterday. Someone said that there is now a virus that can turn robots into criminals.”

“Because someone is guarding this peace and prosperity.”

Standing up from the chair, Lu Zhou moved his arms and said casually, “I’ll see how your boss is doing.”

…

The atmosphere in Guanghan City was grim.

The engineers of East Asia Energy were still stranded in the space station, and the engineering equipment on the transport ship was also loaded, unloaded, loaded, and unloaded again. Because of the protesters’ activities, the entire experimental project was at a halt.

Moon Palace.

Li Guangya, who walked off the gangway, shook hands with Mayor Ye. After that, surrounded by a group of people, he went to the boarding platform of the shuttle, where he could see many protestors.

“It seems that the trouble here is not small.”

Ye He sighed and said, “As you can see… I haven’t slept peacefully in the past few days.”

Li Guangya: “Have you tried to talk to the representatives elected by the protesters?”

“I have tried, but the results have been unsuccessful.” Ye He said cautiously, “They have not shown a willingness to negotiate at all. Their only request is to withdraw East Asia Energy from the moon.”

Li Guangya: “Actually, I have a compromise here.”

Ye He: “What compromise?”

Li Guangya smiled and said, “The Pan-Asian Cooperation will sign a development agreement with East Asia Energy on the second-generation controllable fusion experimental reactor. After that, the Pan-Asian Cooperation will sign a new energy joint development agreement with Guanghan City.”

The moment Ye He heard this, a surprised expression appeared on his face. It was not because of how unexpected the idea itself was. It was because he did not expect that Pan-Asian Cooperation would be willing to take this big trouble from them.

“But… Will this solve any problems?”

“Why wouldn’t it?” Li Guangya asked back, “I have reflected on this more than once. Our alliance is too weak and has almost no restrictions on the member states, and anyone can oppose us. In fact, in order to achieve our goals, we should adopt some tougher methods, and we are fully capable of doing so.”

Ye He: “For example?”

“For example, build another city,” Li Guangya said with a faint smile as he glanced at the gray land outside the porthole. “Just next to Guanghan City, build a city about the size of a reactor… called Pangu… Or Nuwa city. I think the nearby land is quite suitable. It shouldn’t be difficult to make space.”

Ye He was stunned for a moment, but he broke out in cold sweat quickly.

Build another city?

This is ridiculous!

From a legal point of view, this was not in compliance at all.

Ye He: “There is no precedent at all! The Guanghan Special Economic Zone has nothing to do with the land. Even if it is undeveloped land—”

“There is now.”

Staring at Li Guangya for a long time, Ye He didn’t speak.

“What?”

“It’s nothing… It’s just that the look in your eyes made me a little scared.” Ye He said cautiously after observing the chairman of the board for a while, “I hope you are not thinking about something dangerous.”

Li Guangya raised his eyebrows with interest.

“Like what?”

Ye He didn’t speak. He looked at him in silence.

“We are an alliance, not an empire.”

As if hearing something funny, Li Guangya suddenly couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help it… You think too much, I just want to build a reactor.”

Ye He wanted to say something, but at this moment, the secretary standing next to Li Guangya stepped forward and reminded him gently, “Chairman, your phone.”

Li Guangya cleared his throat and asked, “From who?”

“The call is from the Security Bureau. Apparently, it is related to the investigation of the foundation,” the secretary whispered in a volume that only they could hear. “The clue points to the pirate base hidden in the asteroid belt… They hope to be able to apply for reinforcements to the Lagrange Space Base.”

Li Guangya’s eyebrows were gently raised, and his face showed an expression of interest.

“I understand.”

He looked at Mayor Ye next to him.

“Give me a few minutes. I have to make a few work calls.”

Ye He frowned and asked, “Is it fine for me to ask what is going on?”

“Nothing, it’s just that my friend gave me an unexpected gift.”

Surrounded by a few bodyguards, Li Guangya walked towards the VIP terminal next to the shuttle stop.

At the same time, the First Fleet stationed at the Lagrange Space Base was gathering, and the third orbital airborne brigade would be embarking on a journey.

As the murderous air overflowed in the deep sky, the dark black hulls were like daggers, exuding an infiltrating cold light under the sunlight.

The reconnaissance ship had set off.

Target: Ceres.

A battle was imminent!
