#550 - Chapter 550: Monka and Shennong
"Alright!" Nakae Hiroshige finally compromised.
January 4, 2057.
After the 20 warships of the Great Sun Nation completed their assembly, they sailed through the Caribbean Sea towards the Atlantic Ocean.
Moduo is located between Europe and Asia, bordered by the Ross Country to the north, the Orc-Hungarian Empire to the west, the Hua Country to the east, the Agula Democratic Republic to the southwest, and the India-Pakistan Country to the southeast.
To arrive safely, the safest route is by sea.
And the only sea route is through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea.
What is uncertain now is whether the Strait of Gibraltar is controlled by the Orc-Hungarian Empire.
If it is controlled, then they can only force their way through.
From the Caribbean Sea to the Strait of Gibraltar, the straight-line sailing distance is about 6,200 kilometers. At full speed, they should arrive within 8 hours.
The Mayans quickly learned about the departure of the Great Sun Nation's warships.
The High Priest was very happy to hear this news.
This shows that the information Dongfang Chen provided him was true.
Since there is no need for the "material inspectors" lurking on the warships to take action, it saves trouble.
Putian Xiaoyezi naturally dare not attack them, and must provide them with good food and drink.
Fortunately, these inspectors seem to be not diligent, hiding in their rooms and sleeping all day, and not going on patrol.
This makes Putian Xiaoyezi feel a lot more at ease.
......
The Lop Nur communication relay station has now been built.
The connection between Dongfang Chen and the space station is cut off, and he cannot receive messages. But the robot can detect it.
So, Dongfang Chen can still receive the news of the completion in the first time.
"Do you have a name?"
"Yes, I'm called Shennong.", the bragging robot replied.
"Shennong? Did you give yourself that name?" Dongfang Chen asked.
The word Shennong is a term from Hua Country mythology and should not appear on the ancient Dragon Country's spaceship.
"This is the translated name. My original code name itself has the meaning of exploration and cultivation, so I translated it into Shennong."
"Then that's the code name of the spaceship, not your name."
"I also have a name, but I haven't used it for a long time."
"Oh? Really? What is it called?"
"I still won't say it."
"What? Can a robot be shy?" Dongfang Chen mocked.
"What about robots? Can't robots be shy?" the robot asked confidently.
"Uh..., yes! Of course, they can. If it's inconvenient for you to say, I'll give you a new one.", Dongfang Chen didn't argue with him.
This robot is different from Xiaolin.
Xiaolin doesn't understand the potential meaning in language, doesn't joke, and has no emotions.
But this guy does.
"No need, I'll tell you, my name is Mengka.", the robot said, but it didn't seem too happy.
"Mengka, that's a nice name. Why do you look unhappy?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"No one has called this name for a long time.", the robot sighed.
Dongfang Chen understood that he was thinking of someone from the past.
From the time he was created until now, it has been 1 billion years, no matter who it is, he can only think about it.
"I can't tell, you still have a sentimental side.", Dongfang Chen didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pull him out of this emotion.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. I just took a look, and the little guy you dropped in Lop Nur has been completed.", the robot quickly recovered.
"Really? That's great! I reserved a cable in the underground passage, and you can use it to establish a connection with the relay station.", Dongfang Chen said.
"Okay, establishing communication.", the robot was very efficient.
"Connection successful, the relay station can now be used.", the robot continued after less than 5 seconds.
"Great, finally liberated!" Dongfang Chen immediately cheered up.
His digital eye pupils can be activated.
Now, he can contact the outside world through the relay station.
Even if someone tracks the signal, it won't matter.
"Xiaolin, has anything happened outside these days?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Commander, the warships of the Great Sun Nation left South America today.", Xiaolin reported.
"Really? They should be planning to go to Moduo, right?" Dongfang Chen was not surprised at all.
"Based on the route, it is very likely.", Xiaolin replied.
"Well, don't worry about them. Anything else?"
"Tian Gang led a team of 30 people to the underground base in Bato City, and they are now training in mecha operation."
"Tian Gang? Why did he suddenly go to Bato City?"
"He deliberately bypassed the communication system of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and the specific reason is not clear."
Dongfang Chen pondered for a moment, feeling that something was up, so he called Shen Wengang directly.
"Commander!" Shen Wengang was very happy to see that it was Dongfang Chen calling.
"Tian Gang, what's the situation? Why did you go to Bato City quietly?" Dongfang Chen asked.
