Chapter 56: Space-Based Laser Defense System

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Blue Moon Technology’s right of agency conference in Great Xia ended faster than expected.

In just half an hour, the business tycoons who attended the meeting walked out in groups of two or three.

The peculiar expressions on their faces carried a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

“Look for those who are smiling…” The clever journalists began selectively choosing their interviewees.

But after scanning the area, none of the business moguls had a smile on their faces.

“What’s going on?!”

The journalists and other billionaires who couldn’t enter the venue approached the departing individuals to inquire about the situation.

“Sorry, we can’t disclose the details of the conference.”

No matter who asked, these tycoons remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal anything.

“Mr. Ma, can you tell us who obtained the representation rights for Blue Moon Technology?”

“Sorry, no comment.”

This made the journalists even more curious, but they still had no ways of learning what happened

The director of the Big Goose Group, Mr. Ma, left the scene but didn’t immediately return home. Instead, he checked into a six-star hotel.

“Mr. Ma, how did the negotiation go?”

Using the built-in camera on his computer, Mr. Ma had a video call with his headquarters.

“The meeting was chaired by Colonel Chu.”

“What?! It was him!”

The board members were shocked and hurriedly asked for more details.

Mr. Ma wore a peculiar expression as he shook his head and said, “Colonel Chu provided only one condition…”

“And what is that?” they asked eagerly.

“That condition is to become friends with a young man named Zhao Yu. Once that happens, that person will be appointed as the general representative for all Blue Moon Technology products in the Great Xia region.”

“What?!”

The board members were dumbfounded, unable to understand the significance of this condition.

“Who is this young man?!”

“We don’t know.”

Mr. Ma shook his head and continued, “Colonel Chu only informed us that this person is highly important and made it clear that we shouldn’t use underhanded methods to disrupt his life…”

“A right of agency involving trillions of dollars just to be friends with a young man?!” One of the board members couldn’t believe it. He even suspected that Mr. Ma was joking.

“I fu***** want to know too! Is Colonel Chu playing a joke on me?!” Mr. Ma couldn’t help but curse in frustration.

To anyone else, this seemed absurd.

But from the perspective of Earth’s top echelons, building a relationship with Zhao Yu was more important than anything else. This was the case even if Zhao Yu was just a representative for communication chosen by extraterrestrial beings.

They didn’t expect Zhao Yu to influence the extraterrestrial beings’ decisions. They simply hoped that if one day those beings wanted to destroy Earth, Zhao Yu would inform them in advance.

They needed to bait Zhao Yu, but since they couldn’t tempt him with wealth or power, they could only hope to use the power of sex to attract him.

As long as Zhao Yu fell in love with an Earth woman, regardless of who she was, there was a chance that he would betray the extraterrestrial beings at some point in the future. For them, just one betrayal would be enough.

As for the financial interests behind the rights of agency of the three major products, they were nothing more than a financial game. After all, they could print more money if needed.

After all, the Earth’s trade with Zhao Yu was based on exchanging resources for Blue Moon credits, which were then used to purchase products.

Furthermore, the pricing of the products in the market was entirely determined by Earth, leaving room for profit. There was no risk of the alien scamming Earth.

“So, could Zhao Yu be the founder of Blue Moon Technology?”

“Or perhaps he is a modern-day Einstein who started the fourth technological revolution?!”

Speculations abounded as people wondered who Zhao Yu really was to receive such treatment from Colonel Chu.

Mr. Ma sighed and said, “We still don’t know who he is. Colonel Chu only mentioned that he might make an appearance in Chang’an…”

“But the problem now is that we’re in our forties and fifties, while Zhao Yu appears to be in his twenties. How can we become friends?!”

The board members exchanged glances, realizing that they were all of mature age, with the youngest among them being forty years old.

“Wait, did Councilor Chu say that all of you must become friends with Zhao Yu?”

Mr. Ma paused for a moment and shook his head, “No, he only said that whoever becomes Zhao Yu’s friend can obtain the rights of agency…”

A corpulent man’s eyes gleamed, and he chuckled, “Old Ma, I have a daughter who is intelligent, clever, beautiful, and in her early twenties. Why don’t we let her give it a try?!”

When he said this, everyone seemed to understand.

“You want to try hooking someone up with Zhao Yu?!”

“So that’s what Councilor Chu was up to?!” (Note: Colonel Chu is also Councilor Chu due to his position as the representative of Great Xia in the Earth Federation)

“In that case, this Zhao Yu must be an exceptional talent, possibly possessing some high-end technology that the whole world is vying for…”

“Councilor Chu’s idea is to use this method to keep him in the Great Xia region?!!”

“It must be!”

Excitement filled the board members. It meant that they also had a chance, and perhaps they could go even further.

All they needed to do was make sure their attractive, beautiful, young, and unmarried daughters became friends with Zhao Yu, ideally becoming his romantic partners. Once the rice was cooked, the relationship would be unbreakable!

Many people realized this point, and at once, the wealthy sons and daughters of various regional conglomerates set off for Chang’an.

Little did they know that Zhao Yu had already left Earth and had no intention of returning for at least a month

The Moon.

On the Moon’s surface, various types of construction vehicles were bustling, engaged in extensive base expansion work.

“Commander, the Earth’s Shield Dome has been sent by spaceship and is expected to be installed within two days,” Uncle Da reported as part of his routine work at the command center.

Zhao Yu nodded and asked, “How is the expansion of our lunar laser defense system going?”

“The early laser defense systems of the base were installed on the Moon’s surface near the base. It is only capable of defending this side of the moon…”

“The new comprehensive lunar space-based laser defense system is already halfway complete and will be upgraded in half a day…”

Once completed, any attacks from any direction in space could be intercepted, making the entire moon impregnable.

The laser defense system might sound ordinary, as it has been extensively used in novels and movies on Earth, becoming a cliched technology.

However, in reality, the lunar space-based laser defense system was the pinnacle of the base’s defense systems, with a technological level reaching 1.99.

To put it in perspective, even the fastest progressing laser weapon technology on Earth had only reached a technological level of 0.85, just slightly above the average technological level on Earth by 0.1.

It can be said that the space-based laser defense system was currently the highest-level and most formidable defense measure of the base.

After Uncle Da finished his introduction, he mentioned the Earth again, saying, “You mentioned before about installing the space-based laser defense system for Earth as well…”

“The situation now is that our resources are insufficient. The remaining resources are only enough to build one-tenth of it. We have to wait until the construction of the three major production lines is completed and we can start large-scale trading of Earth’s resources to continue…”

Zhao Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking, “The Earth’s space-based laser defense system is meant to protect Earth. Although our purpose in establishing this system is to obtain resources and technology points…”

“There’s no need for us to supply all the resources for its construction…”

Zhao Yu felt that their willingness to offer technology to protect Earth was already going above and beyond.

He paused for a moment and asked, “If we have enough resources, how long would it take to build the Earth’s space-based laser defense system?”

“Five days. Three days for production, two days for installation…”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, “Let’s not rush to start the construction. Wait a few days and find a suitable opportunity to inform the Earth about the arrival of the extraterrestrial fleet…”

“At that time, we can provide technology while they provide resources, giving Earth a protective shield….”
