Clarence looked utterly bewildered. "Why?"
Shen Bing said gravely, "Unless something unexpected happens, the energy transmitted or Signal emitted by the Dark Matter Structure in this gene sequence will be received by an alien civilization. An Alien Spaceship crashed in the United States a while ago. I suspect that had something to do with the last time you charged this gene sequence."
Clarence immediately grew excited. "An Alien Spaceship? Were there any aliens aboard? If we could get hold of alien genes, we could..."
Seeing him launch into an endless stream of chatter, Shen Bing cut in at once. "Stop! There were no aliens, and we've already brought the Alien Spaceship back. All it contained was something resembling a suit of mecha. Based on Master Qiao's observations just now, that mecha also contains dark matter components, and their structure bears some resemblance to the Dark Matter Structure in that gene sequence."
Clarence was no fool. He immediately understood what worried Shen Bing.
Now it was no longer just Shen Bing who was worried. Clarence was worried too.
Damn! We might actually lure aliens here.
Clarence was not naive enough to expect aliens to visit humanity bearing gifts. Any intelligent life-form, or even any biological population, would inevitably harbor some hostility toward other populations. At the very least, they would be wary.
"Boss, what should we do?" Clarence asked with a frown. "I think we should step up our military development now. That way, if aliens really do arrive, we won't be completely defenseless."
"It's too early to talk about resistance," Shen Bing said. "We know nothing about the level of their technology, so we have no basis for making preparations. Our immediate priority is to work on three fronts: the gene sequence, the Alien Spaceship, and the mecha. At the
