“Why are you here again, so frequently? You might risk exposure…”

Atop the tower, Chen Xiao frowned as he saw the heavily perspiring Zhang Tao.

“Important intel…” Zhang Tao took a moment to catch his breath before he began to recount the information he’d decoded.

As he spoke, the expressions of Chen Xiao and Zhuge Tao beside him constantly changed, their faces barely concealing their astonishment.

“The Universal Federation, they’ve really come to the Solar System?!!”

“It’s true. It seems they’ve sent a signal to our Earth, but it was intercepted by the Moon…”

With a relieved expression, Zhang Tao said, “Luckily, I’ve placed chips in numerous robots. That’s how we got this news…”

“Are you certain the news is true?! Could the Moon have fabricated it?!”

“It’s likely true. The message contained a set of binary codes corresponding to several images. It was all clear…”

Zhang Tao shook his head, “I thought about it carefully at home. The Moon doesn’t seem to have a reason to play such a trick on us, right?!”

After some consideration, the two agreed with his point. It seemed that the Universal Federation had indeed arrived!

“Fantastic! According to the Universal Federation law, the Moon’s blockade of Earth is illegal…”

An excited Zhuge Tao said, “As long as the Universal Federation learns of our true situation, Earth could be saved!”

But Chen Xiao was somewhat worried, “I fear that the Moon might stubbornly attempt to hide the truth…”

“If they do that, Earth could be…”

Wiped out!

The three glanced at each other, all feeling a sense of unease.

“The chip on that robot was installed 20 days ago. It can’t possibly have just received the news…”

“So many days have passed, the Moon has not made this public, and no one from the Universal Federation has come…”

“Looking at this, the Moon might indeed be trying to conceal the truth…”

“What can we do!”

Zhang Tao looked down at a spaceship parked near the city lord’s mansion and had an idea. “Didn’t Zhao Yu trade for a bunch of weapons?”

“What if we use these weapons to break the sky dome in outer space? Could we then send a message to the Universal Federation?!”

“No!”

Chen Xiao shook his head, “Since we obtained the weapons, I’ve been ceaselessly simulating, looking for an opportunity to act…”

He pointed at the sky dome enveloping Moon Security City and shook his head again, “The extraterrestrials on the Moon are always on guard against us. Apart from this city’s defense system, there’s another one covering the entire outer space of the Moon. It’s not something we can break through…”

“That’s right!”

Zhuge Tao nodded and said, “If they dared to sell us weapons, they are naturally not afraid of us causing trouble. Besides, I’ve checked, there’s no star-destroying cannon among those weapons…”

“This suggests that they are confident they can control the weapons sold to us. They aren’t certain about the star-destroying cannon, which is why they didn’t sell it to us…”

He turned to Zhang Tao and asked, “You’re the only one who can leave Yuean Security City. Do you have any way to go into outer space and send a message beyond the Sky Protective Shield?!”

“I can’t!”

Zhang Tao shook his head, “Even though I can leave Yuean Security City, I can only move around on the ground…”

“What if we try to gamble?” Chen Xiao proposed, a spark in his eyes.

“No, their spaceships have security clearance. Even if I managed to seize one, I wouldn’t be able to operate it…”

“Moreover, an Al called Butler controls the entire base…”

After much deliberation, the three could not find a way to break the blockade and send a signal to the Universal Federation.

Chen Xiao pursed his lips and said, “It seems that the only plan for now is to get the message back to Earth and have them figure out a way!”

“Yes, compared to Earth, breaking the blockade here is more difficult…”

Zhuge Tao agreed, “Federal law restricts us. Once we break through the blockade and the Universal Federation sees us, the aliens on the Moon will not dare harm us…”

“So, once we send the message back to Earth, all the weapons there, including nuclear ones, can be used…”

The three were somewhat excited.

Since the arrival of the aliens on the Moon over a hundred days ago, Earth had essentially been in a state of having weapons but not daring to use them or fight. Now, they could finally lift this seal.

“But, can our nuclear weapons break through their laser defense system?!”

“I don’t know!”

Zhang Tao shook his head and said, “No matter what, I’ll send the message back first!”

“Yes, it’s best to make several copies of the information and install it on multiple robots. This will increase the chance of getting the message back sooner…”

“I understand!”

Once their discussion ended, the three dispersed, their hearts filled with hope.

“If Earth joins the Universal Federation, it will make it 78 civilizations…”

At the first defense line in Mars’ orbit, the eighth military base.

Zhao Yu sat in a frigate, bidding his final farewell to Uncle Da.

“Commander, once we cross this line, I won’t be able to communicate with you…”

Outside the defense line, their communication was likely to be intercepted. Therefore, Zhao Yu decided to shut down communication with the moon once they crossed the line.

“I know. I’m counting on you to look after the base…”

Zhao Yu nodded. He had spent the last thirteen days mostly reading various types of science fiction novels, so he was more confident about negotiations.

Uncle Da choked up and said, “Commander, if you die, I swear I will avenge you…”

Avenge?

Zhao Yu smiled. How could a robot understand vengeance? But he didn’t reveal this, and nodded, “Alright, if I die, you avenge me. And if you get the chance, help me understand the truth of the universe…”

The universe is vast, even traveling at the speed of light, it would take billions of years to cross. And the most terrifying thing is that the universe is still expanding, and it’s expanding faster than the speed of light.

The speed of light is only 300,000 kilometers per second, but the universe expands at a rate of 680,000 kilometers per second, more than twice as fast.

Even if we could chase at the speed of light, we couldn’t keep up with the expansion of the universe. And now, our most advanced technological product, a small shuttle equipped with a Hall thruster, has a maximum speed limit of only 338 kilometers per second, a thousand times slower than the speed of light.

Even for the Moro fleet of a mid-to-late Stage 2 civilization, the maximum speed of a standard spaceship is only 3300 kilometers per second, a hundred times less than the speed of light.

“Alright, as long as I’m alive, I’ll find out the truth about the universe!” Uncle Da said firmly.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Yu felt greatly relieved.

He was human and would eventually die. But Uncle Da was different. He was a robot, or rather, an intelligent AL From the current human perspective, he seemed capable of living forever, perhaps even discovering the truth of the universe.

“Enough, don’t look so sad, I’ll be fine!”

Seeing Uncle Da so heartbroken, Zhao Yu hurriedly comforted him. Then he got into the frigate and left the first defense line..
