Chapter 164: 096 The Beginning of Civilization_2

Two mechanical soldiers walked out of the repair ship and stood on the ridge.

Yang Ming carefully examined the coefficients displayed on the ‘tablet’ in his hand, as if he were reading an inventory of expensive cargo.

Kolev looked around with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery and muttering in an old scholar’s tone,

“Beautiful, no volcanoes in sight, nor fault lines formed by seismic activity. It’s a great location. Is there microbial life in the soil here? Wow, anaerobic bacteria! Maybe, after tens of thousands of years of transformation, this place could become a new habitable planet.”

But after a while, Kolev got a bit bored.

The process of the transport ship landing was so monotonous.

There were no complex special effects and no attacks from ‘ground indigenous life forms.’ The transport ship simply landed, put down the support frame, adjusted the ship’s angle, and steadily stopped on the solid, flat surface of the crust.

The tail cabin opened fully.

The side cabins were all opened.

This large transport ship, shaped like a flat container, had twelve square deck sections on the top that unfolded autonomously, revealing a cargo hold filled with containers and large machinery.

Yang Ming controlled his own mechanical soldier to sit on the ridge, watching the ship unload with great interest.

First, a dozen mechanical soldiers began to open the first thirty numbered containers, revealing rows of engineering track robots inside.

These track robots all looked very similar, with a basic structure divided into upper, middle, and lower sections, corresponding to their retractable ‘football’ heads, sturdy trapezoidal bodies, and varying numbers of tracks at the base.

The mechanical soldiers stood scattered in front of the exit of a container.

The face display screens of one track robot after another showed blinking large eyes, and they queued up to exit the container. After stopping in front of the mechanical soldiers, they had their ‘skullcaps’ lifted to activate their work programs, then turned aside to await work instructions.

Lyu coordinated them uniformly.

Their cooperative work seemed very interesting to Yang Ming.

Four track robots, positioned at the four corners of a container, served as ‘wheels,’ enabling the container to have stable and swift mobility.

An array of twenty-four track robots could move those extravagantly designed giant machines.

As all 120 track robots began to work systematically, cargo from the transport ship started being quickly moved out, and small charging stations and energy supply centers appeared on the surface.

More medium and large machinery were gradually activated.

‘Hut’-shaped floating lifting platforms slowly ascended.

Maintenance vehicles carrying numerous mechanical maintenance parts deployed anti-corrosion tents.

A swarm of small drones took off, setting up temporary energy protective shields and incidentally masking weak electrical signals emitted from here.

The ‘spider’ planetary vehicle, equipped with precision detection instruments, drove away from the valley, mapping out detailed underground structural diagrams…

Under Lyu’s coordination, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Yang Ming watched quietly, gazing into the distance, feeling not excited but rather very serene.

He suddenly felt a sense of grounded stability.

He thought, he could watch here for another day and night.

“You know, Kolev.”

Yang Ming’s voice was somewhat distant.

“I rushed into the Luofeng Empire, seeking to find my footing amid the chaotic order, trying to gain actual control over an Administrative Star.

“I competed with politicians in conniving, matched wits with generals, had midnight liaisons with beautiful noble ladies, and had confrontations with agent spies in narrow corridors… This journey might be bizarre and adventurous, but for me, it always felt like there was a layer of glass between us. I couldn’t truly immerse myself in the Luofeng Empire’s environment.”

Yang Ming chuckled lightly and said slowly,

“However, I suddenly realized now, I had already established myself in Luofeng. From the moment I stepped onto Ilando Star, I found the path I needed to follow.

“This base, which has just begun construction, suddenly made me understand that I can find a sense of self-identity in a place away from home… Thinking carefully, I actually gained a few friends and even a girlfriend.

“Edwan is quite good, a Second Prince who once wanted to be a drama actor.

“026 is also pretty cute. If there is an opportunity later, I will help her get rid of the addiction agent’s harm. There should be technological means for that, but I am still short of resources to provide her now.

“General Fremont is also good, caring for me like mentoring a junior. I even felt that he wanted to entrust the Second Prince to me. The country we’re in isn’t so bad, right?

“How about considering increasing investment and setting up a real venture in the Luofeng Empire?”

“Humph—”

Kolev’s faint snores came through the headphones.

Lines of exasperation appeared on Yang Ming’s forehead.

Damn it.

I tugged at your heartstrings in vain!

“Boss,” Lyu’s voice sounded, “the initial construction of the base will take time. At best, only one of the shield machines can be started today; there’s no need for you to keep an eye on it.”

“I know,” Yang Ming replied with a smile, “but isn’t it interesting? Witnessing the opening of our base firsthand.”

“This is just work,” Lyu wondered, “Why find it interesting?”

Yang Ming thought for a moment, “In the environment where I grew up, the idea of returning to one’s roots has always permeated my mind. I’ve been looking for a place to settle down.”

“Well, that’s human complex emotions,” Lyu chuckled lightly, “But boss, you have a lot to handle. Even if you want to abandon the first plan, we need to find ways to acquire more resources externally to support development here.”

“The first plan can’t be abandoned. This is our fallback. Controlling a complete Administrative Star can save us years of struggle.”

Yang Ming asked, “If we bring the Feinan over here, can we speed up construction progress?”

Lyu retorted, “Boss, I don’t recommend using the Feinan. That’s your safety guarantee, and even if it came over, it would only function as a large crane, and we already have two here.”

“Alright,” Yang Ming laughed, “it is indeed time to return. This place is pretty good.”

“The Fourth Princess just sent a message.”

“Lyu, in your perspective, how would you describe the scene before us?”

Lyu pondered for half a minute.

“A new civilization’s beginning.”

…

Yang Ming took off his helmet, his eyes quickly adjusting to the villa’s dim lighting.

The old man beside him, now wearing a helmet, was lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly.

Buzz, buzz!

Yang Ming’s watch gently vibrated, and the piled-up information of the last few hours emerged all at once, with the top message slightly surprising Yang Ming.

The sender was Emilia, the little Luofeng Princess he had previously swindled out of 1.5 million New Federation Coins.

She actually reached out to him proactively. Could it be…

Spend fun money without a place to spend it again?
