People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon Chapter 96: Obtaining Technology Points

Chapter 96: Obtaining Technology Points

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[A new alien civilization has been detected]

[Do you want to spend 10,000 technology points to view all the technology trees of the ‘Moro Fleet’?]

“Does the system have this function?”

Zhao Yu was about to go to Yuean City for trading when he received a prompt from the system as soon as he stepped out of the door.

At the same time, he learned the name of the fleet that came through the wormhole.

He couldn’t help but ask, “If I spend 10,000 technology points to view the technology trees of this Moro Fleet, will it count towards the base’s upgrade experience?”

[All technology points spent will be recorded in the experience bar.]

Zhao Yu hurried back and informed Uncle Da about the situation.

“Commander, it’s worth spending these 10,000 technology points. Knowing the enemy enables you to fight a hundred battles without defeat…”

Zhao Yu also thought the same and nodded, saying, “Okay, after I trade with Yuean City, I’ll check the technology trees of this ‘Moro Fleet’…”

As they were talking, there was a sudden change in the projection of the hundred warships.

Two warships separated from the fleet, heading in different directions—one towards the solar system and the other away from it.

“What’s going on?!” Zhao Yu asked in haste.

“I’ll calculate it immediately…” Uncle Da quickly began calculating based on the movement of the two warships in the gravitational wave detector.

After a moment, Uncle Da’s face turned serious. “Commander, these two s.p.a.cecraft are extremely fast, with speeds reaching 12 million kilometers per hour…”

“They are that fast?!” Zhao Yu was shocked. This speed was twenty times faster than the ship he was on with the Hall thruster system.

“Can you figure out where these two warships are going?”

“The warship heading towards the solar system, judging from its trajectory, is headed directly to Earth…”

“And the warship moving away from the solar system…”

Uncle Da looked puzzled and said, “I expanded the range of the gravitational wave detector and found something resembling a s.p.a.cecraft at a distance of 22.9 billion kilometers from us…”

“What is it?”

Zhao Yu was surprised. Could there be another civilization within the solar system?

“Commander, please wait a moment. I’ll check Earth’s database to see if it’s related to them…”

After fifteen minutes, Uncle Da opened his eyes and said, “It’s Voyager 1!”

“It was a ship launched by Earth towards the outer solar system in 1977…”

“Its system contains 55 languages of Earth, its cultural history, records, and images…”

“Including information about the planets in the solar system, human characteristics…”

“And the technological level of human civilization, and so on…”

Zhao Yu furrowed his brow. If aliens found this, their secrets would be exposed!

Upon reflection, he realized that he had no means to prevent it.

“With their ship’s speed, how long will it take them to catch up with Voyager 1?”

“Most of the ships in the ‘Moro Fleet’ are staying near the wormhole, about 7 billion kilometers away from us and about 15.9 billion kilometers away from Voyager 1…”

“In about 55 days, they will be able to capture Voyager 1…”

“Similarly, the ship heading towards us will arrive in about 24 days!”

Although the eight planets appear to be aligned, the farther they are from each other, the greater the distance. Even with the most advanced Hall propulsion ship, it would take Zhao Yu 480 days to reach the wormhole near Pluto.

“24 days, 55 days…”

“We still have time!”

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the projection. The remaining Moro Fleet near the wormhole was still in a defensive formation, without any movement.

“It seems that they have only dispatched reconnaissance warships…”

“Commander, is it possible that they think our technology is too backward and only one warship is enough to destroy us?!”

Zhao Yu shuddered and nodded. “We cannot rule out that possibility. Keep a close watch, and keep all defense systems activated to intercept enemy attacks at any time…”

His technology level was currently at 1.99, and even with the ship’s speed pushed to the limit using the Hall propulsion system, it was still twenty times slower than the Moro Fleet’s ships.

But the enemy’s technology level was certainly higher than 2.00. As for whether it had reached 3.00, Zhao Yu didn’t know and would need to obtain their technology tree to find out.

“Uncle Da, you stay here and keep an eye on things. I will go and trade with Yuean City to acquire technology points early so we can find out the purpose of this incoming ship…”

Although the gravitational wave detector could only detect the size of celestial bodies, it would be enough.

By obtaining the technology tree and comparing the sizes and shapes of the different types of Moro Fleet ships, they could determine whether the vessel that’s coming for them was an a.s.sault type or a scout type.

Yuean City had a population of one million. After Zhao Yu made it clear that they wouldn’t partic.i.p.ate in management work, Earth dispatched a thousand official personnel to accompany them.

A thousand people managing one million wasn’t quite enough, but the Earth Federation was afraid that too many accompanying people would cause discontent among the Moon faction. They planned to recruit more personnel from the general population if needed.

Zhao Yu had thought that the position of City Lord would be held by someone middle-aged if not elderly, but to his surprise, Earth sent a young man named Chen Xiao.

After the completion of Yuean City, Zhao Yu relocated Zhang Tao and the 88 people he had brought to the city.

During these three days, Zhang Tao had secretly contacted Chen Xiao and a person named Zhuge Tao.

This confirmed his suspicion that Zhang Tao’s arrival on the Moon was not because of love but rather an undercover mission.

However, Zhao Yu didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Although the electromagnetic wave disturbance from Earth had ended, he didn’t open communication systems between the two sides. Except for himself, others couldn’t communicate between Earth and the Moon, even if they had projection touch watches.

Even if Chen Xiao, Zhang Tao, and Zhuge Tao had any intelligence, it would be difficult to transmit it back to Earth.

Especially after the arrival of the Moro Fleet, Zhao Yu tightened radio control even more to prevent the leakage of too much information and exposing their secrets.

He flew to the Lord’s Mansion by ship and landed.

Chen Xiao hurriedly came out to welcome him.

“Mr. Zhao, what brings you here?”

Zhao Yu casually said, “As the City Lord of Yuean City, your defense forces seem to be a bit weak…”

Chen Xiao’s face brightened, and he quickly said, “Thank you for your concern, Brother Yu. I have been worried about this matter as well. I wonder if you can help…”

“Brother Yu” was a strangely close way to call Zhao Yu when they barely knew each other. Zhao Yu noticed, but he didn’t react too much to it.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and gave a description all the tradeable ships and weapons, except for the star destroyer cannon.

After listening, Chen Xiao’s face was filled with shock. He couldn’t believe it, but he reacted quickly and quickly expressed his grat.i.tude.

“Of course, I can’t give it to you for free. How about this? Each item will be counted as one Blue Moon dollar…”

At this moment, getting more technology points was paramount. Zhao Yu didn’t mind spending a bit more Blue Moon dollars.

Zhao Yu had also tried asking the system if it was possible to trade through a loan, but he found out that technology points could only be returned when the loan was repaid. So he gave up on that idea.

One Blue Moon Coin?

Chen Xiao felt extremely uneasy and couldn’t quite grasp Zhao Yu’s intentions.

However, the opportunity to closely observe and study alien weapons and warships was not only rare but fleeting. Regardless of Zhao Yu’s motives and conspiracies, he had to accept.

Soon, Zhao Yu handed over all the different types of ships that could return technology points on an open s.p.a.ce.

Of course, none of the warships were equipped with weapons.

The traded weapons were also provided with the minimum power, most of which were unable to be used without subsequent energy support.

There was no need to worry about these people causing trouble or attacking the base once they got their hands on the weapons.

In addition, the entire Yuean City was protected by his security team. Even if Chen Xiao and the others obtained these items, they wouldn’t be able to transmit them back to Earth.

At the moment the transaction ended, Zhao Yu’s technology points were credited to his account, totaling 18,500 points.

With his goal achieved, Zhao Yu didn’t stay long. He hurriedly left and headed towards the base.

“So what kind of technology does the Moror fleet possess?!”
