No matter how much you try to make something fake, it will always have an unavoidable fatal flaw.

To truly design a scam that is difficult for people to detect, every detail from the very beginning must be done well.

Using humans to coordinate in this process is very prone to errors.

However, when it comes to people who are rigidly minded and have "intellectual disabilities," their effect is excellent.

Boom! As Su Deben's words fell, the entire world began to crumble once again.

In a moment of confusion, Su Mo regained his senses and found himself back at the base he had been at before.

He was still wearing a helmet.

The lighting throughout the venue remained soft.

In the distance, energy beams scattered blue light, and the rocket also revealed a touch of novelty.

This time, however, Su Mo did not remove his helmet in the face of this prosperous scene, but shook his head again.

Thud! With that shake, the base collapsed!

The energy beam, which was tens of meters high, collapsed into ruins in just a few seconds.

Although the new rockets standing on the site are there, they are covered with dense rust.

The surrounding servers and the distant scenery seemed to be swallowed by darkness, collapsing frame by frame.

Aside from the AI Xiao Ai constantly yelling about what happened, this seemingly real world collapsed with extraordinary speed.

It may have taken many years to build this place, but it only took fifteen seconds to destroy it.

The bright exterior has faded.

All that's left is devastation!

Su Mo is currently in a room of about 200 square meters.

There were three treadmills by the entrance of the room. Oreo was still sitting on the far left treadmill, looking completely bewildered.

Further inside, there were all sorts of instruments, piled up haphazardly in various places.

Su Mo is now sitting in the center of the instrument, in a chair that looks like it was used to electrocute prisoners.

From this vantage point, through the glass in front of him, he could clearly see the rocket behind him, and the code name "Fire Seed Three" marked on it! A creaking sound of rusty iron scraping against each other rang out from the corner.

An old robot with various wires hanging from it appeared in the darkness.

He moved very slowly, making it several times more difficult than the garbage robots being studied on Earth.

But in the end, his determined steps still allowed him to move to the front of Su Mo.

"Su Mo, hello. I'm sure this appearance will disappoint you!"

From the miniature speaker clearly visible in the robot's throat, emanated the sounds belonging to Su Deben.

At first, the sound had some background noise.

But when it came to the word "disappointment," she returned to normal, clearly indicating that she has taken good care of herself.

"No! This is our normal level! There's no disappointment at all!"

Looking at the dilapidated robot's empty eye sockets, for some reason, Su Mo felt a sense of wonder, just like when he discovered the Ma Gu Ruins.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've heard that."

"But I'm still very curious, how exactly did you discover that all of this was fake?"

Seemingly very confident in his skills, Su Deben reached out and scratched his bald head with great effort.

The robot had no expression, but Su Mo could detect undisguised curiosity in its voice.

"Would you believe me if I said I was just bluffing?"

"I don't believe it!"

Su Mo shrugged. "Alright then, the reason I was able to find out is because..."

He snapped his fingers, and the lights in the pitch-black room began to come on.

I clapped my hands again, and the robot vacuum cleaner placed in the room slowly moved out, clumsily avoiding the floor tracks and cleaning up the dust.

Stepping past the robot, Su Mo stood up.

With each of his movements, the base seemed to move as if it were his own arm, undergoing countless changes in response.

It was as if Su Deben was the guest and Su Mo was the host.

"You wrote the program? And successfully hacked into our program kernel?"

"No, how could that be? You couldn't possibly target us unless you suspected we were a fake."

Shaking his head, he looked at Su Mo, who stood in front of him, observing the rocket quietly through the glass like a god descending to earth.

Su Deben was stunned.

"But I've succeeded now, haven't I?"

With a faint smile, he directed the door beside him to open, extending a ladder leading to the area beneath the rocket.

Su Mo smiled and left the room, leaving only his voice echoing inside.

The Expeditionary Force was indeed very strong, but it also took the wrong path! Undeniably, their virtual reality technology had reached a level that this generation of Earthlings dared not even dream of.

But internally, it still uses the core of 21st-century computers!

From the very beginning, the Expeditionary Force laid out a meticulously crafted "lie".

Once inside the gate, the powerful Virtual Reality technology was activated! The long nine-kilometer corridor was merely a psychological suggestion, constantly reinforcing Su Mo's belief in the authenticity of this base.

Even if he hadn't mentioned how far the base was, the simulated Xiao Ai wouldn't have told him that there were only 2.8 kilometers left.

From beginning to end, the man and the dog were walking on a treadmill.

Naturally, even with Oreo's abilities, it couldn't detect what danger lay ahead.

Once inside the base, the connection to Virtual Reality via the helmet further amplifies the psychological suggestion.

One link leads to another.

I'm telling you right now, what follows is fake.

With the double entendre in mind, you will naturally assume that what you said before was true.

Little did he know, both were fake! All Su Mo did was get off the treadmill and sit on the testing chair.

The simulation of reality will be more powerful and more realistic on this chair.

But no one could have imagined that, within the simulated reality, Su Mo simply wanted to create a small program to control the Virtual Reality.

However, it has evolved into a bug that can control the entire operating system!

When the control interface popped up on the vast grassland, Su Mo already knew everything! "Truly terrifying. If this technology were used on the battlefield, it would be a true test of killing without a trace."

"Unfortunately, without the support of computing power and without an epic innovation in the underlying hardware, this thing is just a castle in the air, easily shattered!"

"Trying to use this to deal with advanced civilizations is likely to be cracked in an instant!"

As he pondered this, Su Mo descended the steps to the bottom where the Fire Seed Three were placed.

The rocket was covered in rust, and there were many holes that exposed the internal wiring.

However, the base at the very bottom is quite well preserved.

Based on the limited mechanical knowledge I gained last night, Su Mo has essentially determined the estimated lifespan of this base.

Between ten and fifteen years!

"System, identify the properties of this rocket. No need to display upgrade instructions!"

He silently recited the mantra, took two steps back, and watched the green light shoot out. Su Mo felt much more at ease.

Then, as always, in less than a second, the rocket's attribute panel slowly popped up.

[Fire Seed Three carrier rocket (damage -67%) (energy shortage -42%)]

[Description]: The rocket adopts a two-and-a-half-stage configuration, consisting of 6 boosters, a core first stage, a core second stage, a spacecraft fairing, a small satellite, and an escape tower. It has a strong payload capacity and can overcome the limitations of gravity to successfully accelerate into space orbit.

[Basic Attributes]: Overall rocket length: 76.85 meters; Core stage diameter: 3.89 meters; Liftoff mass: 198 tons; Outer shell material: Six-stage iridium alloy

Escape tower: 9.19 meters long, consisting of nose cone, counterweight section, 6 pitch and yaw engines, 2 separation engines, 2 escape main engines and tail skirt.

Fairing: Core Second Stage: Payload Capacity: 62 tons (Currently occupied: 987 kg of small monitoring satellite; Fuel: 23.52 tons) [Evaluation]: When God closes a door, He will surely give you a chance to fly out the window! Line by line! The rocket's attributes are extremely complete! Even down to the details of every counterweight, the status, parameters, and defects of every core component.

It's no exaggeration to say that, in terms of familiarity with the Rockets, even Su Deben might not be as good as him at this moment!

Without thoroughly exploring how to upgrade the rocket, Su Mo glanced at the time on the Game Panel and then went back up the stairs to his room.

On the ground, Su Deben still sat there, looking lost and dejected.

When he returned, the robot didn't react at all, still drooping its head and staring at the floor, seemingly lost in thought.

Without choosing to disturb them, Su Mo pulled over a chair, sat down at the control panel, and began to slowly operate it.

With the program intrusion, in a sense, he has obtained the highest level of privileges.

This is an even more terrifying privilege than that granted by Su Deben; its significance is directly equivalent to Su Mo becoming the master of this place.

Su Mo was extremely curious as he repeatedly tried out the various functions and watched the different images that appeared before his eyes.

But out of his sight, the robot sitting on the ground slowly regained its senses and stared blankly in his direction.

The busy Su Mo felt like he had come home.

His movements were skillful, and his face was full of confidence.

Like a child encountering a novel toy, you can see a smile of great interest frequently appearing on his face.

"Su Mo."

"Um?"

Hearing an unfamiliar voice from behind, Su Mo turned around curiously and looked at the robot.

"Who are you?"

The robot stood up. "I am Lü Kuan, the chief scientist of the Satellite Base. It is truly astonishing to see you in this environment!"

"Lü Kuan? Where is Commander Su?"

Watching the robot's clumsy movements, a sudden realization dawned on Su Mo, but he still asked the question aloud.

"Commander Su is already in standby mode, as you can see now."

"Well, how should I put it? Before we died, we used some kind of technology to store our complete memories in a container. But to conserve resources, we can only share one body. When someone is using it, the rest of us go into standby mode to reduce energy consumption. When that person is done using it, the body becomes available for others to use."

"Don't rush, let me finish!"

"The base houses three technologies that we developed through research in the wasteland."

The first type is Superalloy Smelting Technology.

"The second type Split Consciousness Upload Technology."

The third type is Virtual Reality technology.

"We can give you all three technologies, but we have one condition!"

Compared to Su Deben's honest appearance, he was "dishonest".

Chief Scientist Lü Kuan was much more honest from the start, directly introducing himself.

Su Mo's face lit up with interest. "Oh? What are the conditions!"

"Take us away!"
