Five days later, on the far side of the moon, a city covering an area of 6,000 square kilometers rose from the ground.
Zhao Yu sat on the spaceship, floating in the air, overlooking the steel jungle, feeling proud.
"This is the city I built!"
"Yes, sir, please name this city!"
"Let's call it Yue'an City!"
The alien fleet is about to arrive, and it is still unclear whether the future will be life or death. Zhao Yu hopes that he can survive and that the lunar base will not be destroyed.
"Yue'an City, sir, this is such a good name!"
Uncle Da smiled and said: "Sir, who should be allowed to manage this city?"
He has some candidates in mind and plans to let Android No. 2 manage them.
Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Let the Blue Star people manage it themselves. I'm afraid that if I interfere too much, I won't be able to trade..."
"Then the safety issues in this city..."
"Of course we are responsible..."
Zhao Yu thought for a while and then said: "Build a laser defense system around this city..."
"Sir, two-way defense?"
"Single defense is enough!"
"Externally?"
"Internally!"
Zhao Yu smiled lightly and said: "Our moon already has a global laser defense system. If this laser system is destroyed, it means that the enemy has won. Even if this city has a laser defense system, it will be useless..."
Uncle Da remained silent. The base's defense facilities were at their best. If the technology level was too different from that of the aliens, no matter how hard we tried, it would be useless.
Zhao Yu didn't talk any more, got on a small battleship equipped with a Hall thruster, and quickly left the moon.
In just over 20 minutes, he arrived near Blue Star and parked the small warship at Blue Moon to replenish fuel. Zhao Yu changed to a warship and was escorted by the fleet stationed by Blue Moon to Xiadu Base.
Zhao Yu's arrival again made a member of the House of Representatives worried, wondering whether the other party was here because of Skynet again. Since the last time, they have deliberately suspended the progress of placing the chip on the mobile phone.
As everyone knows, Zhao Yu traded Skynet just for technological points. After getting it, he didn't care whether Blue Star installed it or not.
"Recruiting?"
Colonel Chu looked confused, but felt bitter in his heart. He recalled that earlier, the Blue Star Federation decided to conceal the existence of aliens from ordinary people because they were worried that the elites would be poached by aliens.
In addition, the Federation has not hesitated to inform all top scientists that aliens are planning to destroy the Blue Star. Firstly, it is to prevent aliens from poaching people, and secondly, it is to increase the motivation of scientists to research science and technology.
Unexpectedly, they came after all, and their ambitions were clearly revealed.
Fortunately, the Federation has already made plans, and most scientists have firm beliefs. Even if they are captured, they would rather die than surrender.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "The moon is dry and lonely, and the popularity is not strong. We built a city that can accommodate one million people and named it Yue'an City. We hope to recruit some Blue Star people to come there and make it popular..."
"This..."
Colonel Chu hesitated for a moment and then said: "This is a serious matter, and I may have to discuss it with others..."
"I know, you go ahead!" Zhao Yu nodded, having communicated so many times, he was already familiar with Blue Star's process.
……
Going down to the underground base, Colonel Chu informed Zhao Yu that Zhao Yu was recruiting people, which immediately aroused a burst of indignation.
"It's too much. Scientists are our roots. To dig out our roots is to exterminate humanity..."
"I can't agree, I absolutely can't agree!"
The crowd was furious and yelled for a while before everyone gradually calmed down.
"If I don't agree, what should I do if they rob me openly?"
"It doesn't matter if it's an open robbery, we Blue Star people work together, no one will do anything to cheat the ball!"
"But without scientists, how can our technology progress? How can we catch up with aliens in a short time?"
"What do you mean, aliens want to block our technology?!"
"That's not right. According to the basic core inference, aliens should promote the development of Blue Star technology. How come they block it?"
"Maybe they want to try to trick scientists into going to the moon, and then promote technology, so that they can leave us behind!"
Councilor Zhou stood up and said: "Let's think about how to deal with it first!"
Chen Xiao was the first to make the suggestion, "Since they are talking about recruiting people, it must be done on a voluntary basis. If no one among the scientists is willing, then..."
"Okay!"
Councilor Zhou ordered on the spot: "Now send people to urgently notify all parties, so that all scientists must maintain the same position as Blue Star..."
……
Colonel Chu returned to the ground and asked, knowingly: "I wonder what type of people you plan to recruit and how many people you want to recruit?"
"Doctors, nurses, musicians, artists, writers..."
Zhao Yu mentioned a long list of professions, leaving Colonel Chu stunned.
Are they all liberal arts?
This was somewhat beyond his expectation, and he was confused for a moment. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked: "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask, what is your purpose of recruiting these people?"
"Of course we want to increase the popularity of the moon. By the way, try to choose young people..."
Is that all?
Colonel Chu is confused. Yuefang doesn’t plan to recruit scientists?
"Is there any difficulty?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw his slow response.
"No!"
Colonel Chu didn't dare to cause trouble, so he quickly agreed.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Yu nodded slightly, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I hope the list can be finalized within a month..."
Since things were not what they thought, Colonel Chu breathed a sigh of relief and started asking for details.
"Mr. Zhao, did these people get paid in the past? In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation..."
"Don't worry, everything will be in accordance with Blue Star's standards..."
After the matter was settled, Zhao Yu left.
Looking at his back, Colonel Chu had mixed emotions and was very confused about the purpose of the alien's move.
Back underground, the congressmen quickly asked about the situation.
"Can you please explain clearly that recruitment is a voluntary matter?"
"Does Zhao Yu agree?"
Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, Colonel Chu shook his head and said: "They don't want scientists..."
He told the liberal arts subjects that Zhao Yu was looking for in recruiting people, and the audience was immediately shocked.
"They don't want scientists?!"
"As long as there are some liberal arts people, what are they doing?!"
Zhao Yu's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations and left them at a loss.
It's like a well-prepared punch, but it hits cotton.
Everyone thought hard, but for a long time they could not figure out the purpose of the aliens on the moon.
"No way, you really just want to make the moon more popular, right?"
"This is impossible!"
"Or maybe the aliens want to do some experiments or research at close range?"
"This possibility is quite possible..."
Whatever possibility the think tank raised, it left lawmakers uneasy.
They really don't understand that Yue Fang went to war and built such a big city on the moon just to increase its popularity?
Rather than some kind of conspiracy to destroy Blue Star?!
The discussions were fruitless, so we simply didn’t think about the aliens’ ultimate purpose, and just dealt with them as they wanted to do some kind of experiment.
"Just in time, we can take this opportunity to arrange some people to sneak into the moon and collect intelligence..."
