“Maglev cars, I’ve only seen them in movies…”

“Do you think this could be extraterrestrial technology?!”

Discussions about Blue Moon Technologies’ three major products were not dying down on the internet; in fact, they were intensifying.

While smartphones couldn’t access the internet, many households had computers. Even those without computers couldn’t resist buying a laptop and connecting it with wired internet after a few days without the web.

As a result, computer retailers made a fortune.

“Exactly! After White Rabbit 9 went to the moon and disappeared for several days, we suddenly have these advanced technological products…”

“Perhaps White Rabbit 9 encountered aliens on the moon, and all these things were provided by them!”

…..

Some netizens’ speculations were approaching the truth.

However, most people didn’t agree with this viewpoint.

“Forget about aliens! It’s all fake. We see so many UFO videos every year, and they’re always blurry. It’s all just media deceiving people…”

“Exactly! If there were really aliens, they would have been exposed long ago. Why have the authorities been so quiet?!”

“Then how do you explain the three major products from Blue Moon Technologies?!”

“Well, it’s just maglev cars. Our country’s maglev technology is strong. We’ve had commercial maglev trains for decades. If we consider the military’s technology being 50 years ahead of civilian technology, the appearance of maglev cars doesn’t surprise me at all. I even think the military might have more advanced technology…”

“You’re right. Our country has been researching artificial intelligence robots for decades. Every bank has a robot assistant in it, no?”

“As for the projection touchscreen watches, the technology isn’t that advanced. We had metaverse and VR technologies more than a decade ago…”

“I feel like when we look at these three major products now, it’s like the feeling we had twenty or thirty years ago when computers and mobile phones first appeared. They seem advanced, but they’re actually Earth technology!”

“Those who cannot adapt will be eliminated. For now, I just want to make a fortune with these three major products. This time, I’ve really caught the wave…”

Most people preferred to believe that these three major products were independently developed by Earth. The idea of it being aliens that manufactured them just seemed very unbelievable.

“I plan to open twenty stores in Chang’an. I want you to be the regional director, and I’ll leave everything to you. You’ll receive a 5% cut from each store after deducting costs…”

Upon hearing this, Gao Qi was initially ecstatic, but then she became somewhat anxious.

“General Yu, isn’t that too much?!”

She had seen the QQgroup and learned from He Jingxuan that they were getting these benefits because these big shots wanted to please someone, a person who happened to be their classmate.

But she didn’t have any impressive classmates. She worried that they might have mistaken her for someone else or that she didn’t have that level of friendship.

Except for local classmates in Chang’an, with whom she had stayed in touch over the years, she had lost contact with other classmates from different cities.

“It’s not too much. I have high hopes for you…” General Yu chuckled and patted Gao Qi’s shoulder.

After a moment of silence, Gao Qi couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “General Yu, may I ask why you’re being so kind to me?”

“It’s nothing. I’m here to expand the market in Chang’an, and I found that you’re quite capable…”

Gao Qi shook her head and said, “I have a classmate who has some influence. What she said is quite different from what you’re saying…”

“Is that so?”

General Yu paused for a moment and laughed. “Is it He Jingxuan who told you?” “Yes, do you know her?!”

“I don’t know her!”

General Yu laughed again. “Are you afraid I’m going to sell you to another comapny?”

“General Yu, you’re joking. You’ve invested more than ten million in me. You can sell me to anywhere you want, basically…”

Gao Qi pursed her lips and continued, “But I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you. I hope you can tell me what I need to do. Otherwise, I won’t feel confident…”

Seeing her determined gaze, General Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to reveal some information.

“When you were in college, did you have a boyfriend named Zhao Yu?”

“Zhao Yu?!”

Gao Qi widened her eyes. Could it be that the important person was related to Zhao Yu?!

Liu Ning experienced an accident during the descent in the spacecraft.

Fortunately, the accompanying space robot lifted Liu Ning from the spacecraft at an altitude of several thousand meters above the ground and discarded the spacecraft. They flew towards the Xiadu.

The space robot soldier didn’t have any stealth systems, and during the flight, it brushed past an airplane.

“What the hell is that?!”

On the plane, a passenger sitting by the window stared in astonishment, his face filled with shock.

But when he called his companion beside him to look outside, the robot flying in mid-air, holding an astronaut, had already disappeared.

Zhao Yu’s space soldier, although primarily designed for close combat in space, had poor endurance. However, its flight speed was extremely fast, far surpassing the speed of any aircraft. Within the blink of an eye, it vanished into the clouds.

Sitting in the robot’s arms, Liu Ning screamed repeatedly, clutching the robot’s neck tightly, afraid that it might slip and drop her from an altitude of ten thousand meters.

This kind of experience couldn’t be compared to flying in an airplane or spacecraft. It was the experience of being alone in the clouds, physically traversing the layers of clouds.

What supported her was not a seatbelt or a flying vehicle; it was only the mechanical arm of the robot.

“Can you land? We don’t need to rush so much to get to Xiadu…”

“Please, just put me down on the ground…”

During the journey, Liu Ning pleaded continuously, trying to convince the robot to take her back to the ground.

Unfortunately, the robot didn’t care about any of that; it just focused on reaching its destination without uttering a single extra word.

After an hour of uneasiness, Liu Ning finally landed on the ground, going through a cycle of fainting and waking up repeatedly.

As soon as she touched the ground, her legs went weak, and she collapsed instantly.

“Liu Ning?!”

This was a secret base, and people around had already noticed the situation. Several armed guards had surrounded them, vigilantly watching the robot.

A scanner appeared on top of the robot’s head, emitting a flash of infrared light.

In the next second, its internal chip analyzed the surroundings.

[Carbon-based lifeform: humanoid]

[Weapons: automatic rifle, handgun, hand grenades, combat knife]

[Threat level: low]

[Response: standby in place]

“Don’t shoot!”

Although Liu Ning felt weak, she understood the gravity of the situation and quickly shouted, fearing that the guards might cause unnecessary trouble.

On the guards’ side, they swiftly dispersed and went to report.

Their walkie-talkies had been replaced with signal flares for use in emergency situations due to radio interference.

Before long, Chief Engineer Yang and Colonel Chu rushed out.

“Liu Ning, what are you doing here?!”

Chief Engineer Yang was surprised. According to the spacecraft’s settings, the landing point was hundreds of miles away, and they had informed the people there to provide assistance at any time.

Liu Ning’s face turned pale, and she sighed with relief before explaining, “There was a problem with the spacecraft, and we were forced to abandon the cabin. It brought me all the way back…”

Naturally, everyone noticed the robot next to Liu Ning. It was much larger than the engineering robot prototype Zhao Yu had delivered, standing nearly three meters tall and equipped with various weapons—a clearly combat-oriented robot.

Seeing this, Chief Engineer Yang quickly approached and expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, my robotic friend…”

Unfortunately, the robot didn’t respond, whether due to an inability to speak, disdain, or lack of a communication program.

Liu Ning hurriedly added, “It was sent by Zhao Yu to deliver a message…”

Colonel Chu nodded and asked, “Did you find out the purpose of those extraterrestrial robots on Earth’s orbit?!”

Liu Ning glanced at the robot and hurriedly replied, “Colonel Chu, something major is happening. An alien fleet is coming to destroy the Earth!!”

Colonel Chu was stunned.

Again?
