Chapter 146: Robot Source Code (1)

Five days later.

“Commander, the enemy has retreated to the vicinity of Jupiter…”

Uncle Da seemed a little relieved. “Our strategists are still quite useful. Our offensive has not only driven back the enemy but also patched up the gap in our first line of defense…”

Zhao Yu nodded and smiled, saying, “Given the current situation, they should run out of fuel in a few days…”

According to Colonel Chu’s a.n.a.lysis, the enemy would have two possible responses in this situation.

First, they might risk everything and launch a final counterattack. Second, they might choose to withdraw from the solar system.

“Yes, it won’t be long before we’re safe…”

Uncle Da thought for a moment, then relayed recent changes on Earth.

“Commander, there have been some movements on Earth as well…”

“What’s happening there?”

“The currencies in all regions of Earth have now been issued in

high-denomination bills…”

“Moreover, all major banks have started to flood the market with money, providing large-scale subsidies to the public, and directly handing out cash…”

“What does this mean?!”

Zhao Yu was taken aback. Realizing that Uncle Da didn’t have an answer, he decided to leave the base and head to the command center to ask Colonel Chu what these movements on Earth meant.

“Earth currently has over two hundred types of currencies, which complicates transactions. They plan to induce inflation, sc.r.a.p all existing currencies, and introduce a new one…”

Colonel Chu paused, then added, “The idea of Da Xia is to unify the global currency, language, measurements, and so on…”

“Earth is now suffering from serious internal friction. The majority of people’s jobs are meaningless and merely exist to maintain stability…”

“This is not beneficial for the development of civilization…”

“Last week, the biotech technology you traded with Earth led to a tenfold increase in food production…”

“Now, they have a foundation for a harmonious society…”

“So, they’re aiming to use this opportunity to initiate a transformation, eliminating meaningless jobs, expanding welfare systems, and guiding all of humanity to work towards advancing civilization…”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly. “That’s good news. They can borrow the one million robots from Blue Moon if needed…”

“Thank you, Commander. With the aid of a million robots, the reforms would be much easier to implement…”

Colonel Chu, greatly pleased, thanked him promptly.

While these words seemed simple, the process was proving to be quite challenging on Earth.

The main obstacle was the entrenched interest groups. Their greatest wealth was the poor, and social change threatened to cut off their means to wield power.

Especially, Earth intended to eliminate the wealth gap through inflation.

Consider this: Zhang San has 1 billion, and Li Si has 100,000.

If everyone gets 100 million, Zhang San’s wealth increases by a tenth, whereas Li Si’s wealth increases a thousand times.

Zhang San’s total wealth would be 1.1 billion, while Li Si’s wealth would become 100 million. The wealth gap, initially 10,000 times, would shrink to 10 times.

Finally, when the time was right, they would replace the existing currency with a new one under a new system.

“Captain, Leader Seth’s fleet has retreated to the vicinity of Jupiter…”

“Captain, Leader Seth has sent a message. It seems that the enemy’s ships are controlled by robots. He’s requesting to use the robot source code…”

Aboard the mothership, Seth constantly examined the star map, his eyebrows tightly knitted.

The robot source code, according to Auda’s plan, should be held back until the final a.s.sault.

If it was used now, it could alert the enemy, leading them to take some countermeasures.

However, without using the robot source code, they couldn’t proceed to the second step of their plan.

To blow up the Jupiter, they needed to drop support troops as they pa.s.sed by the planet. Furthermore, they needed to install large electromagnetic interference devices in the asteroid belt.

There was also the fourth-generation star destroyer cannon, which also had to be installed in the asteroid belt. Besides, Seth’s fleet was getting farther and farther from the planned location and actual attack point in the plan.

If this continued, let alone the matter of revealing the robot source code or not, Auda’s plan would not be achievable at all.

Moro was somewhat helpless. The battlefield was always changing. Auda’s plans had seemed flawless when he was around.

But now, Moro had no choice but to expose the robot source code as a means of attack.

Shaking his head, Moro decided not to dwell on it and said, “Give the order, use the ‘Renegade’ robot source code. Let’s kick these robots out…”

The Glenn civilization had experienced a robot rebellion. They had various types of robot source codes, one of which was the ‘Renegade’ prototype that led a group of robots to escape from human civilization and head towards the desolate cosmos. Unfortunately, their technology wasn’t advanced enough at the time of their rebellion to develop wormholes, so they had to escape to the neighboring galaxy by flight.

Eventually, using wormhole jumps, the Glenn civilization laid an early ambush. When the ‘Renegade’ robots, who had been flying for over 500 years, arrived in the neighboring galaxy, they were caught.

“When will this ever end?!”

Seth’s face showed extreme fatigue. These days, under the pursuit of tens of thousands of warships, their fleet was always on the move, constantly dodging.

Every crew member only had three hours of rest each day. Seth himself barely slept, relying on injections to keep himself awake.

Seeing no one responding, Seth looked around the room.

He found everyone looking downhearted, staring blankly at their workstations, with no desire to respond.

“Ah…!”

Seth sighed deeply. In the battlefield, fleeing was always demoralizing. They had been on the run for almost ten days, and as fuel became increasingly scarce, the crew’s morale had hit rock bottom.

“Beep beep—!”

Just as Seth was feeling dejected, a message finally came from the mothership.

He hurriedly opened and read it.

“This is Captain Moro. I’m authorizing the use of the ‘Renegade’ source code to the Vanguard Fleet for an attack on the enemy’s warships…”

Seth was overjoyed and promptly announced the good news. “Guys, the captain has allowed us to use the source code!!!”

However, everyone was unmoved, their minds not functioning well due to chronic sleep deprivation.

Seth quickly added, “We’re about to win, soon we won’t have to run anymore, and everyone will be able to sleep!”

Only then did everyone slowly come to their senses, but there were still no smiles on their faces.

Lack of sleep over a long time severely affects one’s spirit, emotional control, and judgment.

Seth didn’t say much else, and directly ordered the other fleets to use the ‘Renegade’ source code against the enemy warships pursuing them.

Outside Jupiter, tens of thousands of warships swarmed back and forth, chasing and blocking Seth’s fleeing fleet.

“Sizzle —!”

At that moment, an electromagnetic signal suddenly burst from Seth’s fleet, shooting directly towards the pursuing fleet behind.

In just an instant, over a thousand warships that were close and received the signal slowed down and stopped in the middle of the universe.

As time pa.s.sed, more and more warships came to a halt. After 30 seconds, all 50,000 pursuing warships had stopped.

Another minute pa.s.sed, and the more than 50,000 warships seemed to have snapped out of it. This time, they didn’t chase after Seth’s fleet but instead headed towards Neptune.

At this moment, Neptune, Pluto, and Mars formed a triangle. Heading towards Neptune meant not wanting to be involved in the war.

The awakened ‘Renegade’ robots seemed to want to stay at Neptune, or maybe they intended to escape the solar system from Neptune, fleeing into the universe..
