Chapter 54: Why Do I, Zhao Yu, Need to Explain to Others The Things I Do?

“Mr. Zhao Yu!
A petite girl with big, round eyes stood in front of Zhao Yu.
He had seen this woman before!
During Zhao Yu’s conversation with Liu Ning, he used the backdoor left by the holographic touch watch to observe the scene. That woman was present at the base at that time.
However, Zhao Yu pretended not to know her and asked with a puzzled expression, “Who are you?!”
“I’m Wang Dayue. 1 am currently working for the Earth Federation…”
Wang Dayue, with a guilty look on her face, apologized, “Mr. Zhao Yu, I apologize to you…”
…..
“Apologize?” Zhao Yu was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.
“Well, when you were talking to Colonel Chu, 1 was there…”
“I felt you were mysterious, with a unique temperament that fascinated me. I wanted to know everything about you…”
“So I secretly investigated and unexpectedly found something…”
“Then 1 asked your classmate about you…”
“Afterwards, the more 1 thought about what I did, the more I realized it was wrong. I am sorry, you can decide whatever punishment you want for me…”
After saying that, Wang Dayue started to do the one thing she was good at, shedding tears.
She investigated me?!
Zhao Yu furrowed his brows slightly. When he decided to reveal himself in person, he had already expected this day would come, but he didn’t expect to be investigated in this way.
“Which classmate of mine did you find?”
“Wang Qian…”
“What did she tell you?”
“She said you were hardworking…”
After listening, Zhao Yu was dumbfounded. According to the sort of description Wang Dayue’s “heard” from his classmates, he was a perfect man with no flaws. She was obviously lying about what she heard.
“Mr. Zhao Yu, this card is the dowry money I saved up. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to compensate you…”
Looking at the pitiful woman in front of him, Zhao Yu speculated in his heart that maybe the truth wasn’t as she described.
Perhaps the authorities investigated him but were afraid of his discontent if he found out, so they found a scapegoat.
“Come with me.”
Zhao Yu said and walked ahead.
Wang Dayue was somewhat afraid and didn’t know where Zhao Yu would take her.
But for now, she could only follow him.
She didn’t want to come, but Colonel Chu asked her to. The card was her own, but the money was approved from above, amounting to one billion.
Passing by a hotel, Wang Dayue felt nervous. Who knew that Zhao Yu would actually go in.
Oh no…
What should 1 do?!
Just as Wang Dayue worried about what Zhao Yu would do to her.
“What floor is the internet cafe on?”
Hello, sir. The internet cafe is on the eighth floor!”
Zhao Yu nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Wang Dayue was stunned for a moment, thinking she might have misheard, until Zhao Yu looked back at her, and she happily followed.
Arriving at the internet cafe, Zhao Yu had Wang Dayue use her ID to open a computer.
Zhao Yu logged into his QQaccount and tried to join the “Youth Fades, Time Doesn’t” group.
As soon as he sent the request, it was approved in one second.
Opening the group chat, there were already 99+ messages.
Zhao Yu skimmed through some of them, and most of the messages in the group were related to the three major products.
“Magnetic levitation car, ten million each, my god, who can afford that?!”
“This thing is designed specifically for the wealthy, right?!”
He wanted to chat for a bit, but he lost interest as soon as he saw the kind of messages that they wrote down.
What could he say? Could he say that the maglev cars were actually downgraded products?
Could he say to them that all three major products were his creation?
Or, could he say that he could destroy the Earth at any time?!
It had been a while since he came back, but upon arriving, he realized there was nothing and no one worth missing.
No family, friends, or loved ones!
With a sigh, Zhao Yu closed the computer and glanced at the surveillance cameras in the internet cafe.
He said coldly, “1’11 let you go this time, but don’t let it happen again.”
“Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Zhao. I won’t do it again…” Wang Dayue nodded repeatedly, unaware that Zhao Yu’s words were directed at the person behind the surveillance cameras.
At a certain base in Chang’an.
In a hall filled with thousands of monitors, with an average of one staff member sitting in front of every three monitors.
Near the center, Colonel Chu listened to Zhao Yu’s words transmitted through the air and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now that Zhao Yu gave his words, he was finally sure that he forgave them for looking into his past.
After parting ways with Wang Dayue, Zhao Yu quickly boarded the spacecraft and left Earth.
“Uncle Da, can the surveillance cameras from Earth monitor me at any time? Is there a way to block them?”
“There are three methods. One is to wait until the electromagnetic disturbance disappears, then I can infiltrate global electronic devices and use technology to make you disappear from their cameras…”
“The second method requires creating a portable optical signal blocker…”
“The third method is to create a supercomputer and send it into the Earth’s interior, connecting it to the wired network…”
Except for the first method, the other two would require some technology points, which Zhao Yu was reluctant to spend.
“Forget it, let’s go back to the Moon. Until the electromagnetic signal is restored, I won’t go to Earth for now!”
Zhao Yu waved his hand, signaling Uncle Da to stop talking.
This trip to Earth had been a decent experience for him, with both good and bad things happening at the same time.
The good part was that it allowed him to feel the atmosphere of the human world once again.
The bad part was that Zhao Yu realized he was no longer truly an Earthling.
With his current situation, he couldn’t survive on Earth like he used to.
Besides, he didn’t like being monitored… for any reason.
Four hours later, the spacecraft landed at the Moon base.
“Finally back home!”
Upon entering the base, Zhao Yu felt a sense of relaxation and freedom. Even his breathing felt more comfortable than when he was on Earth.
“Welcome home!” Uncle Da and the other androids stood in a row, smiling at him.
In the midst of their surprised expressions, Zhao Yu embraced them.
“You all are my family…”
“Commander, I…”
The others were fine, just happy, but Uncle Da was particularly excited, his voice slightly choked with emotion.
Seeing Uncle Da’s reaction, Zhao Yu felt a bit awkward.
…..
He coughed and asked, “Are the upgrades to those research institutes completed?”
Seeing Zhao Yu’s embarrassment, Uncle Da quickly regained his composure and replied, “Yes, the upgrades are done. During the time when we couldn’t contact you, I installed the lunar shielding system…”
“Good job, you were quick!” Zhao Yu nodded and asked, “So now, is the outside world unable to see the Moon?”
“Yes, we’ll make a backup copy of any incoming electromagnetic signals and transmit the original signals along the previous trajectory, ensuring no loopholes are left behind…”
“What if someone uses a telescope?”
“They will only see images from over five years ago…”
As Uncle Da spoke, he displayed a three-dimensional image, showing a milky-white screen enveloping the Moon’s airspace.
“This screen is transparent; 1 added colors just to help you understand. It’s emitted by the shielding system, approximately 200 kilometers above the surface…”
“As long as outsiders are outside this screen, they won’t be able to see our true situation using the naked eye or any other optical means!”
Zhao Yu nodded and said, “In that case, can we expand the base now?”
Previously, they had kept the base underground, fearing the use of detection equipment since they didn’t know their location.
They were afraid that the detection technology he developed was too low and would attract enemies instead of finding them.
Now, with the knowledge that they were on the Moon and the lunar shielding system in place, the base could be developed more boldly.
“We can expand it. I’ve already prepared a priority construction plan. Do you want to see it now?”
“We can discuss that later…” Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, “Is the Earth shielding system ready?”
Their side was safe now, but Earth was still constantly sending signals into space. It would be wise to shield it sooner rather than later.
“It’s ready, but I didn’t dare to send a spaceship to install it…”
Uncle Da hesitated, feeling a bit apprehensive, and asked, “Should we inform Earth?”
Seeing Uncle Da’s cautiousness, Zhao Yu felt a bit uneasy.
After all, Uncle Da had once wanted to destroy the Earth without hesitation.
But now, because of his connection to Earth, the situation had changed.
Did he feel that Earthlings were more important than his own people?
Zhao Yu sighed.
If anything, he understood that his trip to Earth had caused great trouble for Uncle Da and the others.
“Uncle Da, this is my home. You all are my family, understand?”
“Commander…” Uncle Da seemed to be at a loss for words.
Zhao Yu said assertively, “No need to inform Earth about it. Just get on with the installation.. Why do I, Zhao Yu, need to explain to others the things I do?”
