Xu Qi's questions were sharp and targeted.
Fu Qingyao said with satisfaction, "That's good, my daughter-in-law got into character very quickly."
If the issue of acquiring a powerful family comes to mind immediately, then things become complicated.
Logically speaking, winning over people's hearts and resources is an essential means for aristocratic families to rule the three major planets. By directly sidelining Zheng Ya, this incompetent leader, they subdued the enemy without a fight, easily took over the three major planets, and thus gained control of the branch base.
But if we're unaware of the unspoken rules, does that mean we lose the right to make judgments?
"Does Mom mean that the final interpretation right lies with the Tower of Babel officials?" Xu Qi felt utterly exhausted. Wasn't this just playing with people's feelings?
Fu Qingyao smiled wryly and said, "I think that's the truth."
We know nothing about the unspoken rules, but Wu Wei knows them perfectly well and has the opportunity to exploit loopholes in the rules to eliminate us.
Just as she sent a double to lure and kill us, she exploited the loopholes to carry out a decapitation strike against us and seize control of the sub-base construction.
We are in a very passive position, and we don't know how the powerful families will try to seize control of the branch bases.
The Zheng family knew about the plan to establish a branch base after Wu Wei's double's attempt to lure and kill him failed.
However, this matter cannot be known to the humans of the three major planets.
This is essentially an unspoken rule, a test of Zheng Ya, the leader, and also a test of all humanity across the three planets.
Otherwise, the official Tower of Babel wouldn't have allowed Wu Wei's double to harm ambitious individuals, terrorist organizations, and some criminals on Earth.
Strictly speaking, Wu Wei's double is doing a good deed, cutting out the scum and hidden dangers among humanity.
However, this assessment rule put Zheng Ya in a very passive position.
It's like losing the help of the creatures from three major planets and fighting alone.
They also have to help the people of three major planets solve their problems; it's too difficult.
Zheng Ya rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and Xu Qi took over, which made the two little ones roll their eyes. Fu Qingyao smiled. Zheng Ya was both gratified by the warmth his family brought to his body and mind, and said with concern, "I think the aristocratic families did not send anyone to interfere with the construction of the branch base, but only sent Wu Wei to cause trouble."
Does this indicate how many people checked in at a particular stage?
In what way, in what position, and in what structure will they arrive on the three planets?
All of this seems to be part of the assessment criteria, an unspoken rule?
So all we can do is react to what comes our way; there's no other option.
"You mean to help the three planets resolve the hidden dangers of the dark energy source first, and then see how the situation develops before launching a counterattack?" Fu Qingyao guessed his motives, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Since dark energy sources have appeared on Blue Star and the Four Continents, two of the three planets, there must be something wrong.
Solving the problem of the dark energy source is also a matter of following the clues.
This is currently the only lead we have to track down Wu Wei!
Zheng Ya nodded slightly: "Hopefully we can find clues from the dark energy source and find out who is behind it all."
Only then will we have a chance to fight back.
Instead of just talking nonsense here.
"Yes, that's the only way!"
"How long will it take for the nine robots you sent out to dig to the core of the black giant star and seize the energy source?" Xu Qi changed the subject.
Energy sources are the energy that interstellar spacecraft urgently need.
As for mining self-sufficiency, that requires prospecting operations. Given Zheng Ya's dire situation of having almost exhausted all its resources, it was unrealistic to seek out and mine other mineral resources.
Seizing the energy in the core of a black giant star is the only way.
This predicament is entirely due to Wu Wei's double.
A tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Zheng Ya did the math and laughed, "At most three days, we'll be able to get the energy source and leave this hellhole."
"Well, we can hold on for three days. I hope nothing major happens on the three planets during these three days." Fu Qingyao was both happy and worried.
The Zheng family has entered a period of self-inspection and isolation.
Little did they know that Wu Wei was lurking in a secret chamber beneath the Black Giant Star, watching the Zheng family's every move with a laptop, finding herself in a dilemma.
Should we destroy Zheng Ya's robots, cut off his resource supply lines, and exhaust his entire family?
Doing so would expose it.
Being exposed isn't scary; what's truly worrying is that Zheng Ya might have backup resources to escape this trap, which would be a real problem.
If you don't kill the snake, it will only harm you.
This result... Wu Wei's heart pounded, and in the end, she did not attack Zheng Ya's robot. She tacitly agreed that Zheng Ya had controlled the robot to dig a hole for three days and take away the energy source at the star core location, so she started the spaceship and left.
With a "whoosh," the interstellar spaceship vanished into space in a flash, leaving only the surging undercurrents of space.
Seeing that Wu Wei remained calm and unmoved, he simply waited.
When a telegram arrived, it broke Wu Wei's dormant state. He suddenly stood up, stared at the telegram on his notebook, and laughed: "Haha, Zheng Ya, you fool, you still haven't grasped the true meaning of the 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' strategy."
The Black Giant is the real mountain, the mountain of the Dark Element Tide. Can you withstand it?
No one knew that the guide and the leader who established the branch base needed to know the situation of the demon invasion.
Wu Wei's double was essentially introducing Zheng Ya to the scene, fulfilling the unspoken rule of the Tower of Babel officially announcing the location of the demon.
Unfortunately, Wu Wei took advantage of the situation and subtly deceived Zheng Ya, beginning to summon the Dark Yuan Frenzy to descend upon this star field. Zheng Ya, who should have been in the battle position, was unaware of this and withdrew.
It's like deserting; they've already lost the first round.
There was also the hidden danger of a dark elemental surge. Wu Wei took out five beads of different colors from his special ability space, waved his hand and sent them into the black giant star. With a hum, it burst out with a dazzling five-colored radiance and activated the dark elemental five-element spacetime teleportation portal that he had set up in advance.
A towering, elliptical portal, hundreds of meters high, appeared directly above the black giant star, shimmering with an eerie light that the sunlight could not penetrate.
With a "whoosh," dark red figures darted out from the portal.
At first glance they look like humans, but upon closer inspection, it’s not hard to see that they have human upper bodies and calf lower bodies, with four hooves and a tail.
The upper half of the body sprouts two human hands, which hold bows, arrows, knives, and forks.
It's obvious at a glance that they possess basic human survival skills, roaring and galloping wildly on the black giant star.
Looking for the ideal place to build a home.
After finding the mountains where they could build their home, they discovered that the black giant was empty. So they returned to the portal, brought back various seeds and more than a dozen kinds of animals from their original home, and began farming and animal husbandry.
When the second and third races joined, the entire Black Giant entered a period of large-scale labor production.
All of this happened too fast; in just a day and a half, thirteen races joined.
Wu Wei, hidden in the underground chamber, monitored everything happening on the black giant star, her smile becoming increasingly alluring: "Zheng Ya, you have lost the opportunity to build a battle line against the Dark Element Frenzy species, and you have lost the initiative."
"You think you can kill them all to complete the assessment? Dream on, haha!"
At this moment, Zheng Ya arrived on Blue Star in his interstellar spaceship and contacted Li Yunlong: "How is the situation on your side?"
Has the dark energy source been locked onto?
"Yes, all the people and animals diagnosed with carrying the dark energy source have been isolated. However, no matter what methods we use, we cannot eliminate the dark energy source in their bodies," Li Yunlong replied from his office on Jupiter.
Zheng Ya, who was in the skies above Beijing on Blue Star, obtained landing permission and piloted his interstellar spaceship to slowly descend to Sihelou. From the rooftop of his own building, he replied, "Have you carried out any hunting operations?"
"Well, we killed more than a dozen animals and extracted dark energy sources from their bodies. If we're not careful, we can get infected, and it's not easy to seal them away, so we stopped the hunting operation. The relevant departments are working on cracking the dark energy source. That's the situation." Li Yunlong replied seriously, which was quite unusual.
Li Yunlong, who was fearless, was frightened by the dark energy source.
It seems the dark energy source is a virus that corrupts humans, animals, and plants; once it spreads, it will be a catastrophe…
