"Hello."
Just as the three exchanged bewildered looks, an extremely mechanical, electronically synthesized voice sounded inside their helmets.
"Holy shit!" all three exclaimed.
Bai Yixuan was the first to react. "Are you... One?"
"Yes," the mechanical synthesized voice sounded again. "Shall I begin executing the Moon Palace construction plan?"
Unlike Zero, One's voice was utterly rigid.
After exchanging a glance with his teammates, Bai Yixuan said firmly, "One, begin immediately!"
The instant the command was issued, the entire Moon Palace Base sprang to life again.
Except...
Everything seemed to have been put on fast-forward.
The Regolith Collection Rover suddenly accelerated to several times its previous speed.
Watching the rover charge straight toward a moon rock ahead, Xia Wanyi's eyes widened slightly, and she let out an involuntary cry.
But a moment later, the rover traced a graceful curve at precisely the right moment, steering around the moon rock ahead!
It was not just the rover. The conveyor belts' transport efficiency also increased severalfold in an instant.
At first, the conveyor belts had moved in fits and starts to sort the ore into specific categories.
But now...
Several conveyor belts ran rapidly without the slightest pause. The seemingly chaotic ore-sorting process possessed an indescribable sense of order.
"Holy shit..." Hong Fan stared blankly at the scene before him. "This is just ridiculous..."
Bai Yixuan's eyes were full of amazement.
And this was only weak artificial intelligence!
If it were Zero...
He shuddered slightly.
He finally understood why Xia Country had developed so rapidly lately!
Earth.
"Professor, One has begun operating normally."
Zero's voice sounded in the office.
Lü Yongchang's tightly knitted brows relaxed a little.
"Good, understood."
"By the way, Zero, contact Academician Wei Rong for me."
"Tell him I'm heading to the Carbon Nanotube Laboratory right away."
"Yes, Professor."
