Ascension to the Moon!

Nine-Tailed Fox's internal duty shift change day.

A woman in uniform walked past the training ground. Looking down through the second-floor glass, she saw Bai Ye talking to thin air in the training ground.

"What is Chief Bai doing?"

"He's been talking to himself for half an hour."

A woman carrying a can of yellow peaches walked over, looking expressionlessly at Bai Ye, who was having his usual bout of illness below.

"Chief Bai goes crazy every day. You'll get used to it after seeing it so often. Here, take this can of yellow peaches. You'll be in charge of looking after Chief Bai for the next month."

The woman handed the canned yellow peaches to another woman without any expression.

Non-key employees within Nine-Tailed Fox typically rotate shifts monthly, and their roles are similar to those of secretaries.

"Oh, by the way, here, this will help you adapt to Chief Bai quickly."

The woman took out a diary and handed it to her, then left expressionlessly.

"Hehehe..."

The woman who came to take over looked puzzled, while the previous administrative secretary's smile was rather strange.

Forget it, let's go see Chief Bai first.

Upon arriving at the training ground, the woman picked up a can of yellow peaches. "Chief Bai, hello. I am Zhou Shuyan, here to relieve you today. I will be handling your daily chores for the next month."

"You can tell me anything you need."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye looked at Zhou Shuyan, "Would you like to hear a story from me?"

Zhou Shuyan blinked. "What story?"

"My story."

"I grew up in a slum. My parents died of illness, leaving me all alone in this world."

"I tried to find a job, but who would hire a young man with no education or background? So I could only do manual labor to make ends meet."

"My father was a doctor, and my dream is to become a doctor as well."

Ah?

Isn't Chief Bai an orphan?

As if remembering something, Zhou Shuyan quickly took out a diary from her bosom.

Opening the diary, I saw these few sentences written on the first page.

"Rule number one for getting along with Chief Bai."

"If Chief Bai tells you his own story, please forget about it, because it's most likely made up."

"Besides, Chief Bai is not an orphan, so don't take it too seriously. Just nod whatever he says."

"Remember, never deny him, or he will immediately end this story and make up a new one."

"Rule number two for getting along with Chief Bai".

"If Chief Bai wants you to prepare something tomorrow, then please bring everything related to it."

"For example, if Chief Bai wants canned goods, please prepare one serving of each type."

"The third rule for getting along with Chief Bai."

"Don't ask about yesterday. Forget everything that happened yesterday, no matter what Chief Bai said yesterday."

"Of course, we can't forget about procurement."

There are more than fifty more to come.

After glancing at the contents, Zhou Shuyan felt her brain freeze.

Only one word remained in her mind.

Ah?

Bai Ye patrols the Containment Zone every day for an unknown reason; you can just follow him.

When it was time to patrol the Containment Zone, Zhou Shuyan followed Bai Ye into the Containment Zone.

Bai Ye's gaze swept across each room without stopping, but he paused only in front of a sword.

He placed his hand on the glass, his gaze falling on a sword inside the containment room.

That's a byproduct of the Sequence 021 Sword Forger; this sword is a living thing.

Its overall design leans towards a hybrid of plants and flesh.

Zhou Shuyan looked at the sword in the containment room with a puzzled expression, and then at the sign next to it.

"Poplar?"

"What a strange name."

Bai Ye didn't speak, but left thoughtfully.

Zhou Shuyan thought for a moment, then took out her diary and wrote a sentence on it.

Chief Bai seems to care a lot about a Containment Object named Yang Shu, but the specific reason is unknown.

On the other side, in Asia.

A rocket launch was in the countdown phase when a strange sound came from inside the rocket.

"Sizzle..."

The sound was fleeting, masked by the announcement of the rocket launch, and went unnoticed.

After that, the manned rocket successfully lifted off.

"Level 1 advancement, normal."

"It is about to leave the atmosphere."

"The first stage rocket has separated."

Those outside didn't notice anything unusual, but those inside the rocket had already gotten out of their safety seats with bloodshot eyes.

Sitting in front of the rocket's main control console was a man in black with eight mechanical arms attached to his back.

It's a computer.

It has taken over control of the rocket, putting it into the Second Tier.

"Reaching the moon is only the first step."

"My body alone is not enough to extract helium-3. The moon has no resources that I can use directly, let alone a production facility."

"Therefore, I can only dismantle the rocket and use the materials on the rocket to complete the first phase of my design."

"The Second Tier is to realize the material refining and synthesis equipment that I have not yet designed, and finally extract helium-3."

"Once I have mastered Helium-3, I will have a near-infinite amount of energy to carry out my subsequent plans."

Helium-3, a pure energy source with no radiation, can be extracted from the soil on the moon.

With this energy, the computer's layout can be implemented.

He had a plan, which he called the Lunar Star Empire Plan.

He wants to build a Mechanical Empire on the moon, fully develop the moon, and set up automated production factories.

They began mass-producing Chaos Body and then turned their attention to Earth.

This is something that is difficult to talk about and even more difficult to do.

But once completed, it will be the greatest reform in history.

Once the computer completes its plan, it can not only launch a counterattack against Earth, but also use it as a springboard to conquer the universe.

The computer has already planned out the subsequent plans.

After unifying the Solar System, it will erect a giant celestial shield on the sun to extract stellar energy.

To provide power for future warships, or even to create miniature stars and stellar energy reactors.

The computer has already planned out this grand plan, although not even the first step has been completed yet.

But he believes it's only a matter of time.

"Originally, I wanted to build my own rocket and develop a material refining and conversion furnace before heading to the moon, but now this is all I can do."

The computer secretly made its way to the moon, and no one noticed for twelve hours.

Whether this is good or bad for humanity is currently impossible to judge.

In the short term, with computers off Earth, they are temporarily unable to monitor information networks on Earth.

But once his plan gets into its initial stages, and he builds signal towers to communicate with satellites, he will be able to continue monitoring Earth.

If it really comes to that, then it's probably not far off for computers to launch a counterattack and return to Earth.

Therefore, in the long run, allowing computers to go to the moon will inevitably lead to endless troubles.

But there's nothing they can do about it; they can't stop the computers.

The computer's Lunar Star Empire Plan is bound to succeed; this is a positive conclusion he reached after tens of thousands of calculations.
