Chapter 401 Earth - Development
Zhang Hao returned to the living area of the base.
Ace was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Xiao Yuanjie and the others were also sitting on the sofa nearby. Without the virtual world and the online massage parlor being closed, they seemed bored.
Zhang Hao found a seat on the sofa and sat down.
He leaned back on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and let out a long breath of fatigue.
After a while, he sat up straight, clasped his hands together, rested his chin on his back, and looked at Ace.
"What are you going to do now?"
Zeus came back to his senses, frowned, and looked a little tired.
"This X organization is not to be trifled with. Irene is in danger in their hands."
"Then let's go and rescue them."
Ace sighed and said, "They are not that easy to deal with. Besides, I don't have a spaceship capable of interstellar travel right now."
"Isn't the mothership still on the moon?"
"The mothership is out of energy and cannot travel between stars." Ace said helplessly.
"We can mobilize the Earthlings to provide biological energy to charge the mothership."
Ace stared at Zhang Hao in surprise and said with a smile: "We? You say that as if you are no longer from Earth."
Zhang Hao smiled awkwardly.
Then he said: "This is the best way, otherwise there is really no way to save Irene."
Ace said: "The crisis on Earth has been resolved. You don't have to worry about Irene's affairs."
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "We can be considered friends, right?"
Then he added: "Besides, after this incident, I think the Earth is no longer safe. We must improve our strength as soon as possible in order to gain a foothold in the universe."
Ace asked tentatively, "You mean Organization X?"
Zhang Hao nodded heavily.
"If it is true as Zeus said, that Organization X has been to the solar system , then the cosmic coordinates of the Earth have been exposed."
"We once proposed a law for the universe."
"What law?" Ace asked.
"The law of the dark forest of the universe." Zhang Hao replied.
"If a cosmic civilization is discovered by other cosmic civilizations, it will definitely be attacked."
"And this law has just been proven not to be true, and Zeus attacked the Earth."
Ace thought for a moment and said, "You mean, that Organization X will turn around and attack the Earth?"
Zhang Hao nodded.
"Although Organization X did not complete the deal with Zeus and left, I think this is only temporary. They may be waiting for the Space Law Enforcement Team to leave before returning to plunder the Earth."
Ace pondered for a while and said, "It shouldn't be that serious. For them, there is nothing on Earth that is worth the risk."
Zhang Hao shrugged.
"Then why did Zeus attack the Earth?"
Ace suddenly realized and said, "Population resources!"
Throughout the entire universe, there is no planet like the Earth.
It has a population of nearly 10 billion.
The key is.
Humans are also complex cellular organisms, which is the basis for producing biological energy.
This bio-energy is the currency of the universe.
The sun can also be converted into energy, but it is different from bioenergy.
Similar to nuclear fusion and solar energy, they can only drive large spacecraft or be used as mechanical tools.
But biological energy can be utilized by conscious organisms.
Just like intelligent robots like Zeus, the energy they need is bioenergy.
Bioenergy is an intelligent and multi-purpose energy source that surpasses all other energy sources.
"Now you know why I guess so."
"Even if your guess is true, what does it have to do with me saving Irene?" Ace didn't understand.
"I would like to ask you to help the earth develop science and technology in an all-round way." Zhang Hao said.
"In exchange, I will negotiate with the Global Alliance to provide energy for your spacecraft and help you rescue Irene."
Ace smiled. It turned out that this was Zhang Hao's idea.
But having said that, it is not impossible to consider.
The AI planet has been razed to the ground by Zeus, and there is no one left except some survivors of Irene.
He wanted to rescue people from Organization X, but it was unrealistic for him to do it alone.
He didn't even know where to get the energy for the mothership.
However, this condition is too simple.
"Hey, Zhang Hao, although we are friends, you guys are taking too much advantage of this exchange."
"Although the technological data of AI Star has been destroyed by Zeus," he pointed at himself, "my genius brain is still there."
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Then what are the conditions?"
Ace also needs the help of the Earth, and Zhang Hao is not afraid that the other party will not agree.
Ace said directly: "I need the Earth to help me build another spaceship, and also allocate a piece of land in the Arctic Circle for us AI aliens to live on."
"It's so cold in the Arctic Circle, how can you survive there?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Hey, we AI people prefer colder places. Besides, the Arctic Circle is not suitable for Earthlings to live in, so it's not a loss to give it to us."
Zhang Hao thought about it and decided that since Ace's remaining tribesmen were not strong enough, it would be okay to let them live in the Arctic Circle.
Besides, Ace is pretty good to get along with, and he's also a space businessman.
Once the Earth steps into the interstellar society, with Ace around, it will take fewer detours.
"I will discuss this condition with the Global Alliance, and I think it is acceptable."
"But building a spaceship is a bit too much to ask."
Ace looked at Zhang Hao with disdain and said, "You are short-sighted, kid."
"Building a spacecraft of the cosmic level involves materials science, power, energy technology, etc., which is enough for you on Earth to learn the technology of AI Star."
"You often say that the aerospace industry is the industrial jewel of mankind."
"Then building a spacecraft of the cosmic level is the industrial jewel of our AI planet."
Zhang Hao suddenly realized that this was what Ace meant.
He scratched his head embarrassedly.
Ace went on to say, "Besides, once your technology develops, you will have to take the first step sooner or later, rather than being trapped on Earth or in the solar system forever."
"To get out of the solar system, don't you have to build a spaceship?"
"So, if you build a spaceship for me, it will also help me gain manufacturing experience."
Zhang Hao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
"Okay! I'll go talk to the Global Alliance."
"But what should we do now? If my guess is correct, Organization X could come back and attack Earth at any time."
"And developing technology and improving strength, including manufacturing spacecraft, all takes time."
"Will Organization X give Earth time to develop?"
Ace comforted him, "Don't worry about that. I've already thought of it for you."
"First, we need to replenish the energy of the mothership on the moon. As long as the mothership can fly, we can go and find out the whereabouts of Organization X."
"Also, according to Zeus, the Space Law Enforcement Squad is also hunting him."
"Then we can contact the Space Law Enforcement Team and ask them to provide shelter for the Earth, which can also buy a lot of time."
Zhang Haoxi said happily: "Just do as you say!"
