n“I’m so hungry!”

n“I need to pee, Mr. Robot. Can you let me go pee first before tying me up again?” Inside the resource collection area of the uninhabited zone, someone was lying on the ground, wailing.

nZhuge Tao didn’t speak. He wanted to conserve his energy until the moment the robot take them away from Earth.

nHe carefully observed their surroundings. The force field had a limited coverage area, and apart from the mine, it was only them.

nThe mine was already half full, and it seemed that in another half day or so, it would be completely filled up.

nThe robots acted according to their programming. There was no point in saying anything now. Once they reached space and communication was restored, the aliens would likely discover them.

nSuddenly, Zhuge Tao noticed that the newly arrived mining robots, after dumping the ore, didn’t continue burrowing. Instead, they stopped in place.

nHis eyes lit up, and he spoke, “Stop shouting. We’re about to leave this place…” As soon as he said that, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn, and they eagerly asked for details.

nZhuge Tao gave a brief explanation.

n“Leader, once we’re in space, will the aliens really let us go?!”

n“Of course!”

nZhuge Tao smiled faintly, “I’m part of the Great Xia Think Tank. This is definitely a misunderstanding. Once I meet the aliens and explain, we’ll be able to go back…”

nThe others became instantly excited.

nAfter waiting for almost an hour, all the Xiaotian robots emerged from the ground.

nA robot suddenly shot up from the ground and flew into the sky.

nThree minutes later, a gigantic warship, tens of thousands of meters long, slowly descended.

n“What the hell, is this the alien spacecraft?!”

n“It’s so huge!”

nThe crowd was shocked.

nBefore they could continue discussing, the bottom of the warship opened, emitting a white light that lifted everyone and the mine up together.

nIn the Chang’an Blue Moon District, eight hundred million Blue Moon dollars’ worth of resources were ready.

nWith the assistance of light tweezers technology, Zhao Yu didn’t need to exert much effort. All the resources were loaded onto the ship.

nJust as they were leaving Earth, Uncle Da projected himself in front of Zhao Yu.

n“Commander, the Xiaotians have captured a group of Earthlings…”

n“Hmm?”

nZhao Yu was taken aback and inquired about the situation.

nUncle Da explained, “It happened at the resource collection point in the uninhabited zone. There’s an underground base there, and the Xiaotians brought back the resources and the people together…”

n“In that case, send them back…”

n“Commander, I have a request…”

n“Go ahead.”

n“I want to take these Earthlings to the Moon!”

nCurious, Zhao Yu asked, “What do you plan to do with them on the Moon?!”

n“I intend to establish an experimental zone and observe their behavior and thinking patterns as a representation of humanity…”

n“Once the experiment is over, I will return them to Earth intact…”

n“Sure, do as you please!”

n“Teacher Liu, representatives from the Earth Federation have arrived…”

n“The Earth Federation?”

nInside the research institute, an old man put down the instrument in his hand, showing a hint of confusion on his face. “What are they here for?”

n“Please let them in!”

n“Yes!”

nThe middle-aged student left quickly. In no time, two people wearing Federation uniforms walked in.

n“Professor Liu, hello, we are from the Earth Federation…”

n“I see, just tell me your purpose!”

nProfessor Liu wasn’t interested in these staff members and replied casually.

n“We have a project and would like to invite you to participate…”

n“I’m busy!”

nProfessor Liu immediately rejected, pointing to the instrument in front of him and saying, “I’m at a critical point in my research. If I leave now, three years of effort will be wasted…”

nThe Federation staff exchanged glances, remembering that Councillor Chu had given them a method to handle invitations from different professors before they left. They spoke up:

n“This project can only be participated in by members of the Institute of Technology. If you join…”

nProfessor Liu’s expression changed dramatically. He widened his eyes and excitedly asked, “If I participate in this project, will it allow me to enter the Institute of Technology?”

nThe stark difference in the other party’s response stunned the two Federation agents for a moment.

n“Yes, as long as you participate…”

n“Then I’ll go!”

nThe middle-aged student next to them was startled and quickly said, “Professor, we’ve been working on this project for three years, and we’re about to complete it…”

nProfessor Liu turned to the two agents and asked, “May I know when this project is starting?”

n“Now!”

nProfessor Liu furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and said to the student, “I’ll leave the remaining unfinished parts to you. I need to go with them…”

n“Ah?”

nThe middle-aged student looked frightened, “Professor, can I handle it?”

n“You have to grow up eventually. Give it a try!”

nAfter saying that, Professor Liu followed the two agents out of the research institute.

nTo his surprise, there was already a helicopter waiting at the entrance.

n“Why such urgency?”

nProfessor Liu was puzzled and asked, “What is this project?!”

nThe Federation agents slowly uttered three words, “Nuclear fusion!”

n“What?!”

nProfessor Liu was shocked and quickly asked for more details. However, the two agents remained tight-lipped and didn’t say another word.

nHelpless, Professor Liu had no choice but to swiftly board the helicopter while his mind raced with thoughts about nuclear fusion.

n“Whirr-!”

nThe helicopter took off with a roar, heading towards a coastal city in Great Xia.

nIf one were to zoom out their gaze, they would discover that at this very moment, hundreds or even thousands of helicopters were taking off from various locations worldwide.

nThey all had one destination—Great Xia’s Megacity—to participate in the nuclear fusion research project!
