People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 103: Meeting (1)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yuean City.

“What’s the matter?”

Zhang Tao wiped the sweat off his forehead, fearful of being noticed. He had climbed the stairs to the thirtieth floor without daring to use the beam ladder.

“Zhao Yu wants to trade the second and third generation nuclear fusion power stations with us!” Chen Xiao got straight to the point.

“What?”

Zhang Tao was taken aback, “Really?”

“That’s right!”

Chen Xiao nodded, “The engineering robots for installing the nuclear power stations are already in place and have started working…”

” What do they mean?!”

Zhang Tao asked in confusion, “Could it be that they want to accelerate technological advancement?”

“Probably not!”

Zhuge Tao shook his head, “If that was the case, they should be trading with Earth, not with us…”

Yuean City was home to residents with humanities backgrounds. Even if they had the second and third-generation nuclear fusion power stations, they wouldn’t be able to decipher them.

Chen Xiao nodded and spoke, “I do have a guess…”

“I suspect that this might be a decision made by Zhao Yu himself!”

“A decision made by Zhao Yu himself?!”

“That’s right!”

Chen Xiao said with a complex expression, “You’ve all seen Zhao Yu’s behavior a few days ago, but this week, he seems to have picked himself up…”

“I think he might want to do something before his end…”

“Like giving us the second and third-generation nuclear fusion technology, and finding a way to send it back to Earth…”

“Does he have that kind of authority?”

“He should. In Yuean City, other than Zhao Yu, no aliens have ever appeared…”

Zhang Tao was overjoyed, “If Zhao Yu helps, our chances of success are not small, I’ll go and invite him over now…”

“Don’t be anxious!”

Zhuge Tao stopped him and shook his head, “Zhao Yu is at Di level, with high authority, and he should be under quite a lot of restrictions. He might have chips or something inside his body monitoring him…”

“So, about this matter, it’s enough for us to know and for him to be aware. It absolutely cannot be spoken out loud…”

Chen Xiao nodded and said, “My idea is to first send the news back to Blue Star, and wait for the nuclear experts there to study it. Then we’ll see what we need to do to help them…”

Near Pluto.

“Captain Mara, the other party has replied!”

“What did he say?”

” They said that they are members of the Huaxia Universe Federation…”

“There are a total of 19 civilizations…”

As the translator relayed the message, everyone’s faces grew serious.

“Big brother, let’s get out of here, they have 19 civilizations…”

Miro was quick to panic. As soon as the translator finished, he couldn’t help but voice his fears.

The other team leaders nearby were holding back their laughs.

Moro saw the reactions and promptly slapped Miro.

“Fool, they have 19 civilizations, we have 77…”

“Ah?”

Miro was puzzled, holding his face, “We have 77 civilizations?”

Moro sighed. His little brother’s stupidity was taxing. Originally, Miro wasn’t even supposed to join this expedition, but Moro brought him along to keep him from being bullied on Tai star.

The fact that he couldn’t even comprehend this simple issue was frustrating.

Moro didn’t bother explaining. He pointed to a red-clothed team leader and said, “You explain.”

The red-clothed team leader stepped forward and explained, “They’re probably a Level 2 civilization. They don’t dare let our ships pass but want to send theirs instead…”

“As for their so-called Universe Federation, they’re just making things up!”

“The only question is, what stage of a Level 2 civilization are they in, or have they reached Level 3?”

“We need to figure this out in advance, otherwise, it could lead to unnecessary casualties and even endanger Tai star…”

Moro nodded and looked around, “What do you all think we should do?”

“First, we can’t let their ships come. We need to find a reason to reject this…”

“Yes, and we need to find a way to test them further…”

“I have an idea. There are eight planets in this star system. We could blow up a few and watch their reactions?!”

“No, that’s not right. If we destroy a planet, the ripple in space-time will alert other civilizations…”

Destroying planets during fleet hunts was rare unless the planet hosted an intelligent civilization, then it was destroyed and left behind.

Hearing the ideas around him, none of them seemed particularly useful. Moro decided to interrupt everyone and said:

“Tell them our Universe Federation is a place of etiquette and it’s not proper to trouble them with our visit…”

“But meeting face to face for exchange and mutual growth is still possible…”

Moro pulled up a star map and pointed to a spot between them, “Here, let’s meet them here.”

“A meeting?”

Everyone was stunned.

“Captain, is this appropriate?”

“There’s no precedent for this…”

This violates the First Principle of Tai Star…”

Moro dismissed their concerns firmly, “This is just to test them, not to establish diplomatic relations!”

“We need to assess their level through close contact…”

“Who wants to go?”

All the team leaders looked at each other. Heading out alone to negotiate with the enemy was dangerous. A misstep could mean death, and dying before the battle even started felt pointless.

“Big brother, I volunteer!” Miro once again offered himself for the mission.

• •

Moro felt defeated. His third eye scanned the team leaders. Seeing them all deep in thought and avoiding his gaze, he reassured them:

“This mission won’t be dangerous. We’re only sending one warship, they’ll do the same…”

“Whoever is willing to go, will receive a third-class merit…”

No one answered.

“Big brother, if it’s not dangerous, let me go!”

Moro was growing tired. He pointed to his personal guard, “Seth, go with Miro…”

Seth hesitated, internally cursing Miro.

The pre-battle scouting mission was notoriously dangerous. They were essentially cannon fodder.

But when Moro named him, he had no choice but to agree.

“Good, both of you go prepare…”

Moro hesitated for a moment, then added, “Take a shuttle…”

Seth was relieved and hurriedly pulled Miro, who still wanted to talk, away.

After they left, Moro pulled up the star map again. Near Jupiter, dozens of ships were slowly cruising. After twenty-something days, they had only traveled about 600,000 kilometers.

“These ships have been here before we arrived. The level of technology they contain represents their true capabilities…”

“Now, I plan to send a reconnaissance ship to investigate. Who’s willing to go?”

Again, no one answered.

He knew what they were thinking. It wasn’t that they feared death, but that they didn’t want to die for something so insignificant.

To them, dying in a crucial battle was an honor.

But dying during reconnaissance was pointless.

Moro shook his head and pointed to someone, “The ship near the fifth star wasn’t deliberately placed by the enemy, so it definitely reflects the enemy’s real capabilities.. If you can bring back valuable intelligence, I’ll count it as a second-class merit!”
