People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 92: Make The Moon A Little Livelier

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Five days later, on the far side of the moon, a city covering an area of 6,000 square kilometers emerged.

Zhao Yu sat on the spacecraft, floating in mid-air, overlooking this steel jungle, feeling a sense of pride.

“This is the city 1 built!”

“Yes, Commander. Please name this city.”

“Let’s call it Yuean City!”

The alien fleet was about to arrive, and the future was uncertain. Zhao Yu hoped to survive and protect the moon base from destruction.

“Yuean City, Commander. That’s a great name!” Da Shu smiled and said, ’’Commander, who should manage this city?”

He had some candidates in mind and planned to let the humanoids manage it.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, “If we let the Earthlings manage the city, I’m afraid that it will make trading more difficult…”

“What about the security of this city?”

“Naturally, we will take care of that.”

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and added, “Let’s establish a laser defense system around the city…”

“Commander, defense on both sides?”

“Single-direction defense will suffice.”

“For external threats?”

“For internal ones.”

Zhao Yu smiled faintly, “We already have a global laser defense system on the moon. If this system is destroyed, it means the enemy has won. Installing a laser defense system on this city would be useless…”

Uncle Da fell silent. The defense facilities at the base had been maximized, but if the alien technology level was too far ahead, no matter how hard they tried, it would be futile.

Zhao Yu didn’t dwell on it and boarded a small warship equipped with a Hall thruster. He quickly left the moon.

In just over twenty minutes, he arrived near Earth and docked the small warship at Blue Moon for refueling. Zhao Yu switched to another warship and was escorted by the fleet stationed at Blue Moon to the base in Xiadu.

Zhao Yu’s return made the senators worry and suspect if he was back because of SkyNet. Since the last incident, they had deliberately suspended the progress of placing chips in phones.

Little did they know that Zhao Yu traded with SkyNet just to obtain technology points. Whether Earth installed it or not was inconsequential to him.

“Hiring people?”

Colonel Chu had a puzzled look on his face, but he was clearly disturbed on the inside. The reason the Earth Federation wanted to keep the existence of aliens as a secret was for this. They didn’t want the scientists and other elites working for the Moon.

In addition, the Federation had informed all top scientists about the aliens’ intention to destroy Earth, both to prevent alien poaching and to motivate scientists to research scientific technology.

Unexpectedly, they still came. Their ambitious agenda was now laid bare.

Fortunately, the Federation had made preparations. Most of the scientists were firmly resolved and would rather die than yield,

“Yes!”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, “The moon is desolate, lacking vitality. We have built a city capable of accommodating a million people named Yuean City. We hope to attract some people from Earth to increase the liveliness…”

“This…,” Colonel Chu hesitated for a moment and said, “This is a major issue. 1 may need to discuss it with others…”

“1 understand. Go ahead!” Zhao Yu nodded. They had already had multiple interactions, so he was familiar with the procedures on Earth.

Returning to the underground base. Colonel Chu informed everyone about Zhao Yu’s plan, which immediately sparked outrage.

“This is too much! Scientists arc crucial to us. sending them over to the Moon is too risky for humanity…”

“I disagree. Absolutely disagree!”

The crowd became agitated, making a ruckus for quite some time until gradually calming down.

“What if we don’t agree? What if they forcibly take them away?”

“What’s the point of their forccfulness? We Earth people are united. No one will betray us!”

“But without scientists, how can our technology progress? How can we catch up with the aliens in a short period of time?”

“According to your reasoning, do the aliens want to stop 11s from progressing with our scientific research?!”

“That’s not right. According to the analysis made by the experts, the aliens should be pushing for the development of Earth’s technology. Why would they us to not make progress?”

“Perhaps they want to try to deceive the scientists into going to the moon and then advance their own technology, leaving us behind!”

Senator Zhou stood up and said, “Let’s think about how to respond!11

Chen Xiao was the first to offer a suggestion, “Since they said it’s recruitment, it ultimately depends on voluntary participation. If no scientists are willing, then…”

“Good!”

Senator Zhou immediately ordered, “Notify all parties urgently and ensure that the scientists maintain a unified stance with Earth…”

Colonel Chu returned to the surface and asked knowingly, “May I ask what type of people your side plans to recruit and how many?”

“Doctors, nurses, musicians, artists, writers…”

Zhao Yu listed a long string of professions, leaving Colonel Chu stunned.

They were all specialists in the arts and humanities subjects?

This caught him off guard, and he became a little confused. Suppressing the uncase in his heart, he asked, “Mr. Zhao, may I ask what the purpose is for recruiting these people?”

“Of course, it’s to make the Moon a bit livelier. Oh, and please choose younger individuals if possible…”

Just that?

Colonel Chu was perplexed. Wasn’t the Moon planning to recruit scientists?

“Is there a problem?” Zhao Yu asked, noticing his slow reaction.

“No!”

Colonel Chu didn’t dare to create complications and quickly agreed.

Seeing his agreement, Zhao Yu nodded slightly, “Then 1’11 leave it to you. I hope the list can be finalized within a month…”

Since the situation was not as they had expected, Colonel Chu also breathed a sigh of relief and started asking for further details.

“Mr. Zhao, when these people go there, will they receive salaries? What about their living arrangements…”

“Don’t worry, everything will be in accordance with Earth’s standards…”

With the matter settled, Zhao Yu left.

Watching his departing figure, Colonel Chu felt mixed emotions and was puzzled about the purpose behind the aliens’ actions.

Upon returning underground, the senators quickly inquired about the situation.

“Please clarify, is this a voluntary recruitment?”

“Did Zhao Yu agree to it?”

Seeing the nervousness on everyone’s faces, Colonel Chu shook his head and said, “They didn’t ask for scientists…”

He explained Zhao Yu’s request for recruiting people who specialized in arts and humanities, which immediately shocked the whole room.

“They don’t want scientists?!”

“They only want people who specialize in art and humanities. What are they going to do?!”

Zhao Yu’s action caught everyone off guard, leaving them perplexed and unsure of what to do next.

It was like preparing to throw a punch but ending up hitting cotton.

The group pondered and contemplated, but they couldn’t figure out the purpose of the Moon aliens.

“Could it be that they simply want to make the Moon livelier?”

“That’s not possible!1‘

“Or maybe the aliens want to conduct experiments or research at close range?”

“That’s a possibility…”

No matter which possibility the think tank put forward, it made the senators feel uneasy.

They couldn’t understand why the Moon side went through all the trouble of building such a huge city on the moon.

Could it be some sort of conspiracy to destroy Earth?!

Unable to reach a consensus, they decided not to dwell on the ultimate purpose of the aliens and instead prepare to respond as if they were conducting some kind of experiment.

“Perfect, we can take this opportunity to send some people to the moon

undercover and gather intelligence….”
