Chapter 479 Alas! No insect rights!
"No! This is too dangerous!" The Insect King interrupted his thoughts without even thinking.
Bass also frowned and looked at Tan Chi, "Your mother-in-law is right, listen to your mother-in-law."
Eli nodded frantically, "Exactly! Absolutely not! You're still a little bug cub, how can we let you take risks? And with Letkar by your side, it's even more unacceptable!"
The Insect King was worried that Tan Chi would go on a solo adventure without their permission, so he said a few more words.
"Achi, I know you have ideas, but this time is different. They actually want to hire space pirates to kidnap you. Those are all desperate criminals!"
Seeing their worried expressions, Tan Chi knew that it would be difficult to reassure them just by talking.
He put down the small fork and softly called out to the air, "001".
As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanical insect silently slid over from some corner and stopped precisely at Tan Chi's feet.
"Master, 001 is on standby! What can 001 do for you?" It happily spun around in place, looking eager to try.
Tan Chi glanced at Eli and the others, then turned to the mechanical insect and said, "001, show them your combat abilities."
001 tilted its little head to the left and then to the right. "Command received~ What level of combat ability do you require to demonstrate?"
Tan Chi pondered for a moment, glanced at the surrounding geographical location, and then said, "Then let's go by the strength of the female major general."
"001 understood. Simulated demonstration of female major general-level destructive power, begin."
As soon as its electronic voice faded, 001's body instantly erupted with a powerful energy surge, its entire body shooting into the sky like a cannonball, instantly soaring more than ten meters into the air.
Soon, it made a nimble turn in the air and slammed down hard onto the open space at the edge of the garden.
"boom--!!!"
A deep, loud thud was heard, and the ground shook violently!
Amidst the rising dust, a huge, deep pit suddenly appeared on the open ground.
What's even more alarming is that such immense destructive power was perfectly contained within that open space.
Not a single leaf of the natural plants outside the edge of the pit was shaken off!
001 landed lightly on the ground, jokingly circled Tan Chi once more, and then reported, "001's demonstration is complete. Energy output is controlled within the set range. Isn't 001 great!"
The garden was completely silent.
The Insect King, Bass, and Eli stared dumbfounded at the huge, still-smoking crater, then at the seemingly harmless mechanical insect on the ground, speechless for a long time.
Is this still a housework robot?
Why are the mechanical insects they know different from Tan Chi's mechanical insects?
Seeing their expressions, Tan Chi knew that the matter had been settled.
He then slowly explained, "This is only a portion of 001's power. If it were to unleash its full firepower, its combat strength would be roughly equivalent to a state-of-the-art mech."
Tan Chi paused for a moment, then added, "Moreover, as long as there are enough materials, I can replicate mechanical insects like 001 indefinitely."
"Infinite replication?!"
"A combat unit comparable to a mech... and it can be replicated infinitely?!"
This time, even the Insect King, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, couldn't help but gasp!
Eli looked at the deep pit, then at the calm-faced Tan Chi, and couldn't help but mutter, "It's lucky that A-Chi is one of our insects. If this were any other insect family, he'd probably be able to lead an army of mechanical insects to conquer a planet and become the insect king himself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of several insects turned to Tan Chi in unison.
But he found that he had changed his demeanor and was now picking up a slice of peach and eagerly offering it to Letekar's lips.
The Insect King's lips twitched. "Even if that's the case, it's still Letkar who becomes the Insect King."
His youngest son is out of the question.
If Letkar wanted to, he'd probably flatten the entire interstellar space and give it to him!
Upon hearing this, Bass and Eli, seeing the two little insects huddled together, couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps they were just overthinking things.
The afternoon tea atmosphere in the back garden was tense for a moment because of Simon's news, but it eased up a bit because of 001's display of force.
The Insect King rubbed his temples, then remembered another important matter.
He looked at Tan Chi and asked, "Tan Chi, when you wanted to bring down the Thomas family, did you also have your eye on something from their family? When they completely fall and the royal family takes over their assets, is there anything you particularly want?"
Tan Chi was wiping Leterkar's hands with a soft towel when he heard this and said without looking up, "I want all the mines under the Thomas family's name."
"A mineral vein?" The Insect King was somewhat surprised.
While minerals are important, they are not the most scarce resource for the royal family.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Would you like to reconsider? The Thomas family does indeed have quite a few good things..."
Tan Chi gently shook his head. "I have something good here. Perhaps after you see it, Father, you will have the same thoughts as me."
As he spoke, he directly operated his personal computer and sent a document to the Insect Emperor.
"This is based on a new type of alloy that can be refined from those minerals, and the latest mecha design based on this new alloy."
And the existing imperial standard military equipment needs to be comprehensively upgraded and optimized.
He certainly didn't want to be using outdated mechs with low defense and attack power when he was going to hunt down space pirates and space beasts in the future.
Especially for someone like him who has already arranged the latest mecha for his wife, how could he let her start using an old mecha in the future?
His wife is someone who needs to be pampered!
The Insect King opened the file, glanced at the overview and a few impactful design sketches, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
The revolutionary energy circuit design and the incredible performance parameters challenged his understanding of the world!
He jumped up from his chair, his face flushed with excitement. "This...this is absolutely amazing!"
The Insect King was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent. He immediately entered a focused work mode, holding his personal computer and intending to return to his study to study it carefully.
"Bass, you stay with the children first. I must convene an emergency meeting with the military and the technical department immediately!" he said as he strode out.
Bass watched the Insect King instantly get back to work and smiled helplessly. He had just wanted to linger a little longer, but now he was back to work.
Alas! There are no rights to insects!
He stood up, sighed to Tan Chi and Eli, and said, "I'll go keep an eye on your father-in-law and make sure he doesn't get too excited."
Otherwise, he won't get any of his perks at night!
He's only just started to enjoy a good life!
Why does His Majesty have to be obsessed with work? Wouldn't it be better to be obsessed with this handsome insect?
