Beep-beep-beep…

Chen Xu was in the lab, sitting in front of a long workbench, testing a newly made product, when he suddenly heard an alarm. He waved his hand, turned on the screen above his head, and asked, "Zheng Long, what happened?"

In front of the screen, there was an ordinary-looking cyborg who said in a serious tone, "Mr. Chen, we detected an unidentified object falling from the sky, about 100 kilometers away from the base. Here are the photos."

Then, a captured photo appeared on the screen.

Chen Xu took a closer look, put down what he was holding, and said, "Hey, it looks like a spaceship, but why is it a little small?"

Zheng Long said, "According to the data comparison in the system, this should be the first satellite launched to this planet by the mothership, Tiankong-1."

"So it's a satellite." Chen Xu suddenly realized it, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Send Wu Jia, Wu Yi, Wu Bing and others to take a look. As usual, each of them will bring a robot to dismantle the host."

Zheng Long added, "According to the data, there should be four astronauts on board Tiangong-1. Judging from the speed at which Tiangong-1 landed, their chances of survival are very high."

As they were talking, the screen changed again and pointed to the sky, where a black cloud was seen rolling down.

Chen Xu's face changed slightly. Although the distance was far and he couldn't see clearly what the black cloud was made of, he could guess that it must be the same black bird that had attacked the landing ship.

To this day, he still hasn't figured out where these birds come from and why they attack objects falling from the sky.

In the past few years, the base's main scientific research force has been used to build a ground defense network. For the time being, the sky is no longer a concern. Without completely solving the problem of signal blocking, developing the air force is completely a thankless task.

After a while, the black birds flew back into the clouds in the sky.

Chen Xu stood up and said, "I'd better go there myself."

Although he didn't think the system would send him many companions, most of them had already died under the beaks of the black birds. However, he still decided to make a trip.

There's something a little odd about this.

This is a game, and the system will not arrange meaningless things. Perhaps, the fall of this satellite is an opportunity to start a side story or open a copy or something like that.

His intuition told him that this satellite was important.

He put on thick protective clothing, drove the transport vehicle, and set off in a mighty procession, accompanied by twenty guards, as well as twenty robots and drones.

The base has expanded more than ten times since the beginning. The material used to build the base is a high-strength silicon molecule material that is no worse than alloy metal.

When the technology level reaches a certain level, raw materials are no longer a factor that restricts the development of the base. It doesn't matter if you can't find metal mines, you can use sand, soil, or even stone to synthesize high-strength materials.

Chen Xu spent two years building a complete set of high-strength silicate production lines in the colonization suit, and the base began to develop explosively.

Recently, he plans to build a robotic production line for silicon molecular materials to alleviate the labor shortage.

………………

The distance of one hundred kilometers was reached very quickly.

Chen Xu saw several corpses on the ground from afar. Their deaths were the same as those of his previous companions, and looked extremely tragic, but they were basically still intact. This meant that the black birds were not attacking them for food.

He said, "Take those bodies back and bury them with the previous ones."

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Wang Zhu next to him agreed.

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he touched his chest. For some reason, his heart had been beating very fast since just now.

"What's going on?"

He got out of the car and walked towards the satellite that was about to fall apart.

Wang Zhu warned, "Be careful of danger."

Chen Xu shook his head. He did not sense any danger. Instead, he felt that there was something very important there.

The satellite's hatch was wide open, and he walked straight in. After a while, he came to a tightly closed door. All the doors here were open, except this one, which was closed.

He was inexplicably nervous and said to Wang Zhu beside him, "Open the door."

Wang Zhu opened a secret door beside the door, and inside was a switch, which he flipped hard. With a click, the door unlocked.

Chen Xu stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw a person standing inside, it was Luo Xiyun. When their eyes met, he felt his heart surging, and thousands of words were reduced to one sentence, "You are here."

Luo Xiyun walked out expressionlessly. Chen Xu stepped aside, reached out to grab her hand, and said, "Are you scared? I'll take you back to the base."

Luo Xiyun immediately shook off his hand and walked outside.

Chen Xu suddenly realized that their call channel was not connected and she couldn't hear what she was saying at all. She quickly submitted a connection application.

"The other party rejected your request."

He was stunned for a moment. It seemed that she had no intention of forgiving him.

However, this did not pose a problem for him. He connected to the transport vehicle and, using the transport vehicle's computer permissions, connected to her communication channel.

At this time, Luo Xiyun walked out of Tiangong-1 and looked outside. In front of him was a grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see. At the end, the green grassland and the white clouds in the sky seemed to be stuck together.

She stood there, as if stunned by the sight before her.

Chen Xu walked up to her and said, "This planet is covered by thick clouds, blocking the sunlight. In addition, there is very strong radiation. However, the creatures here have not become extinct because of this. There is still a primeval forest over there with many animals. There is also a large river nearby with various fish. I will take you there to have a look in a few days."

Luo Xiyun murmured, "It's so real."

"Let's go. That's our base. I'll take you back. Take a good shower and have something to eat." Chen Xu reached out to grab her arm again.

"Don't touch me."

Luo Xiyun shook off his hand again and walked towards the transport truck.

Chen Xu was not angry and followed him.

Since she was willing to enter the dream, it proved that she couldn't let him go. Thinking of this, he felt happy.

After getting in the car, Chen Xu noticed that she was looking at Wang Zhu and the others, and introduced them, "They are cyborgs. The one next to me is Wang Zhu, the first one on the left is Wang Mei, followed by Wang Lan, Wang Qin, Wang Qi, Wang Shu, Wang Hua..."

Luo Xiyun looked at him expressionlessly, "Is there one missing?"

"You know, we're not allowed to use famous people's names."

Chen Xu started the car while talking. "In fact, I wanted to give them numbers, but then I thought it was not respectful, so I named them in the order of the Hundred Family Surnames. They are considered good ones. The first batch of people with the surname Zhou were named from Monday to Zhou Ten. For those with the surname Wu, we used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Wu Jia and Wu Yi, and so on. For Zheng, we used the Chinese zodiac, Zheng Rat, Zheng Ox, etc. Later, when we couldn't think of anything else, we named them plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."

He was just making small talk. The best way to break the deadlock was to keep talking, even if the conversation was awkward, it was better than silence.

"Cyborgs are divided into different levels. The first level only needs one month to mature, but they basically have no learning ability. Everything they know is instilled into them by computers. They can only do relatively simple tasks, and their lifespan is short."

"When you reach the second level, it takes three months to mature. You have mastered more skills and have a certain learning ability, which is equivalent to a more advanced technician. The lifespan is slightly longer."

"At the highest level, the maturity period is as long as five years. As soon as they are born, they have mastered expert-level knowledge and have strong learning abilities. They can even be qualified for senior management positions and have a long lifespan."

Hearing this, Luo Xiyun couldn't help but speak up, "What ability do ordinary humans have to compete with them?"

Naturally, the childhood period for humans is more than five years. If one wants to learn to the expert level, one must be at least in his twenties or thirties. Moreover, not everyone can reach that level.

In comparison, the highest level of cyborgs only need five years, and they have mastered professional knowledge at birth and have strong learning ability. Such competitiveness completely beats natural people.

Chen Xu said, "So, every cyborg is infertile. Don't be fooled by their appearance, they actually have no gender distinction."

"Moreover, in human society, except for a few special industries, the law does not allow the creation of cyborgs. It is only because we are facing a special situation that we are authorized to create them."

As they were talking, they had arrived at the base.

Luo Xiyun was shocked when he saw the complex of buildings that looked like a city.

The gate of the base opened. Chen Xu slowed down the car and drove straight in. He said to her, "We are stranded on this planet. Our mission is to explore it. However, it is very dangerous outside. The air is full of deadly radiation and there are dangerous animals. So, we must first develop and expand the base. When the time comes, we can just attack directly."

When the transport truck passed by, you could see various factories on both sides, with cyborgs and robots busy at work.

Luo Xiyun looked outside, "Who do you mean by "we"?"

Chen Xu was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He said, "Now, it's just you and me."

Luo Xiyun stopped talking until the transport truck stopped and entered the living area.

After getting off the car, Chen Xu asked Wang Zhu and the others to leave first, and he walked in alone with Luo Xiyun.

He didn't lie. Bai Jinxuan had been here for half a year before, and then he left again, saying that he had a show to record in the evening, which would probably last until very late. He had been alone in the dreamland for nearly a year.

The two took off their thick protective clothing and walked into the hall.

Chen Xu took out a bottle of water, handed it to her, and sat down next to her.

Luo Xiyun stood up, sat on the other side, unscrewed the water and took a sip, and said, "There are some things I need to make clear to you."

"you say."
