Chapter 82: We Need a Main Base
“Young Master, when will you allow Monica’s sisters to be revived?”
Monica had been quite unhappy these past few days. Although Lei Yaotian agreed to her request, he didn’t give a clear time for her to use those ‘Life Buds’ to revive her sisters.
This caused Monica to be absent-minded and make frequent mistakes recently. So, Wangcai asked this question to hear his master’s thoughts.
“Has Monica been resting these past few days?”
Instead of answering Wangcai’s question immediately, Lei Yaotian first asked about something unrelated.
“Yes, Young Master. Monica has been making many mistakes lately. Last time I asked her to help, she almost caused the equipment to malfunction. So I decided to let her rest for a while to avoid causing more trouble.”
Lei Yaotian tilted his head and thought.
Now transformed into a youth, Fatty Lei had sharp eyebrows, bright starry eyes, red lips, and white teeth, looking like a handsome young boy. The golden diamond-shaped crystal embedded in the center of his forehead added a sense of mystery.
His glossy black hair and long bangs covering his forehead gave him a somewhat lazy look.
Wangcai thought his master’s current appearance was much better than before.
At least it was easier on the eyes.
If he knew what Wangcai was thinking, Lei Yaotian would have jumped up and beaten him up.
In fact, Lei Yaotian was very troubled by his current appearance. He thought that although he was a bit chubby before, he at least looked like a real man. But what was this now? To him, it made him look like a pretty boy, a delicate young man.
It must be said that everyone has different aesthetic tastes.
Lei Yaotian was just an unusual person.
But even if he didn’t accept it, there was nothing he could do. This change didn’t depend on his will.
Although he was forced to accept it, Lei Yaotian still felt resentful inside.
“We can’t let her sisters revive yet. At least, we can’t do it on this asteroid.” After thinking, Lei Yaotian told Wangcai about his plans regarding the revival of Monica’s sisters.
“So, Young Master, you’re thinking…?” Wangcai asked thoughtfully.
“This planet limits our development, so I plan to wait until we all move to that Giant Planet before letting Monica revive her sisters.” Lei Yaotian said.
“Oh~ So that’s what you’re planning, Young Master.” Wangcai finally understood his master’s arrangement. “Then why don’t you explain it clearly to Monica? That way she won’t be so absent-minded lately.”
Thinking of Monica’s dazed state recently, Wangcai couldn’t help but mention it to Lei Yaotian.
Lei Yaotian shrugged, looking very innocent. “I only made this decision yesterday. Actually, I’ve been thinking about this issue for a while, but I hadn’t made up my mind, so I couldn’t say anything.”
“Alright then, I’ll tell Monica about your decision, Young Master. That way she won’t keep looking so distracted. It’s really painful to watch.” Wangcai chattered on.
“Okay, let me tell you about my investigation of that Giant Planet.”
Lei Yaotian looked seriously at Wangcai.
Seeing that his master was about to discuss serious matters, Wangcai also became serious and walked over to stand beside Lei Yaotian.
“Sit down. It’s tiring for me to always look up when talking to you while you’re standing, you know.”
Wangcai walked to the opposite side of Lei Yaotian, adjusted his military uniform, and sat down.
“This military uniform looks extremely handsome, Young Master. You really have good taste.”
Lei Yaotian smiled but didn’t comment further, instead getting straight to the point. “According to the images sent back by the reconnaissance satellites, that Giant Planet has a very lush vegetation ecosystem. And no signs of life were found on the planet, meaning there are no living creatures. This is good news for us.”
Before the investigation, Lei Yaotian had already decided that if life was found on that planet and they had developed some intelligence, he would definitely send Artificial Human Soldiers to eradicate them.
Some might ask why not keep them as slaves or something?
Lei Yaotian had Engineering Robots and Artificial Human Soldiers. If natives were found, what use would those guys be?
And no one could guarantee that the natives’ appearance would be pleasant.
Lei Yaotian had no psychological burden about killing alien creatures. Moreover, in his view, as long as he didn’t witness the slaughter personally, it didn’t matter.
To put it another way, if there were oddly shaped natives on that planet, killing those ‘monsters and demons’ would be like slaughtering pigs or chickens. At least, that’s how Lei Yaotian saw it.
“Young Master, what is the ecological environment like on that planet?” Wangcai asked.
After thinking, Fatty Lei replied, “That planet has water sources, covering about 60% of its total area. The rest is land with dense vegetation, but there are no plains—it’s mostly high rocky hills.” Based on the analysis of the images sent by the reconnaissance satellites, Lei Yaotian described the conditions of the Giant Planet to Wangcai.
At the same time, Lei Yaotian felt secretly pleased. “Apart from lacking plains, this planet is quite similar to Earth in other aspects. Living on such a planet shouldn’t be problematic. At the very least, it’s much better than this asteroid with its daily Planetary Storms.”
After hearing his master’s description, Wangcai continued with his questions.
“What about the temperature on the planet? And its volume and gravity?”
Wangcai asked about these key issues because Lei Yaotian was a carbon-based life form. His requirements for the ecological environment were high and couldn’t be compared to an Intelligent Life like Wangcai.
“Based on ten days of measurements, the temperature on that planet stays around three to five degrees. I can’t guarantee whether it will change in the future.” Lei Yaotian said. “The planet’s volume is three times that of my original home planet, but strangely, the gravity is exactly the same.”
After hearing this, Wangcai smiled and said, “That’s not strange at all. The Universe has all kinds of planets, big and small. Many conditions on planets simply can’t be explained.”
Lei Yaotian nodded slightly and said, “So I plan to send those twenty thousand Artificial Human Soldiers to that planet today via Transport Spaceship to set up camp. Along with ninety percent of the Engineering Robots. I also need to purchase another batch of high-quality engineering materials to start building a base on that planet.”
Hearing this, Wangcai immediately became excited.
“So, Young Master, you’re starting the construction?”
“Yes! It’s time to begin. I’ve been saving our Credit Points for half a month just for this day.” Lei Yaotian said to Wangcai with a smile.
“But Young Master, if you’re building the main base on that planet, what should we do with the factories and the ‘Sweet Potato Field’ here?” Thinking of the industries on this asteroid, Wangcai asked.
Lei Yaotian stood up and stretched.
“There are still a hundred thousand Artificial Human Soldiers stationed here, right? Let them continue guarding this place. You pick some elites from these Artificial Human Soldiers and promote them to officers with military ranks. Then we won’t have to worry about this place anymore; they’ll manage it for us.”
Lei Yaotian decided to let those Artificial Humans help manage the industries on this asteroid so he could focus on building his main base on that Giant Planet.
“That’s one way to handle it.” Wangcai said after thinking for a moment.
Fatty Lei walked a few steps to stretch his legs.
“The samples from that planet I gave you the day before yesterday—I assume you’ve studied them?” Lei Yaotian turned his body to look at Wangcai and asked. Wangcai walked to the bookshelf, took out his research records, looked at them, then turned around and replied, “I’ve studied them all. The environment on that planet is completely different from this one.”
Lei Yaotian snapped his fingers. “Right! It’s completely different. So the planting base must remain on this planet. Also, we can’t collect Energy on that planet. So we can’t move the factories or the planting base.”
They were planets in the same world, yet so different.
Every time he thought about it, Lei Yaotian found it incredible.
“Is this the unique feature of a fantasy Plane World?” Lei Yaotian could only think so.
“By the way, tell those stationed Artificial Human officers that after each harvest of the ‘Sweet Potatoes,’ they must replant them. This way, soon the entire planet will be covered with our ‘Sweet Potato Fields.'”
Wangcai nodded.
Finally, Fatty Lei thought of Monica and asked, “About Monica—she hasn’t secretly used those ‘Life Buds,’ has she?”
Wangcai shook his head repeatedly. “Without your permission, she didn’t secretly use that junk.”
Fatty Lei raised his hand and touched his smooth chin, which had become youthful. “It seems Monica can be trusted now. I was worried that after fusing with her crystal, there might still be hidden problems. But based on recent observations, I think she’s temporarily trustworthy.”
Hearing this, Wangcai asked, “So what do you mean, Young Master?”
“Limited trust is acceptable. Continue observing with reservations. Actually, I deliberately didn’t put away those ‘Life Buds’ that are junk to us because I wanted to leave them there to tempt her.”
Wangcai showed an understanding expression.
“So, that little one’s performance is acceptable?”
Lei Yaotian smiled. “Satisfactory enough.”
“Alright, open the Trading Device. I’m going to find Rogue and Bruce to buy some products. You quickly select some Artificial Human Soldiers and promote their military ranks. When I return, I’ll set off for that planet to build the base.”
“Master, aren’t you taking me along?”
Fatty Lei looked back at Wangcai, who was pretending to be pitiful, and said, “Your main focus now should be on deciphering the Saiyan Genes.” After saying this, Lei Yaotian walked through the door of the Dimensional Trading Device.
