#837 - Chapter 837: I will decide for myself after I return
"It was precisely this decision that led to the current Mars base."
"Otherwise, all of us would be trapped on Blue Star, with absolutely no autonomy."
Dongfang Chen Er gradually expanded the topic, allowing them to understand the whole event more and more clearly.
"Xiao Chen, I think you're being alarmist. Old Qin would never do anything to threaten human safety; I'm very sure of that," Yan Zhengping said, believing there might be some misunderstanding.
"Let's not argue about this issue for now; let time prove it."
"Two Commanders, right now, most of the soldiers from the Southwest Military Region and the Southeast Military Region are being intercepted on Blue Star. Moreover, they can no longer come over. So, I want to ask you: do you choose to continue staying here, or return to Blue Star?"
"Whatever your choice, I will respect it. And, if you choose to return to Blue Star, I will arrange for you to leave immediately," Dongfang Chen Er stated his position.
Yan Zhengping and Zongzhen Yue exchanged another glance.
This time, both of them were silent.
There's no doubt that they are Dongfang Chen's biggest supporters. But as the highest commanders of their respective military regions, how could they be deserters? That would be irresponsible to the soldiers, and irresponsible to the military caps on their heads.
Therefore, after a little thought, they made the decision they felt they had to make.
"Xiao Chen, I've thought about it, and I still have to go back," Yan Zhengping stated his position.
"I feel the same way," Zongzhen Yue echoed.
"Alright then, I respect your decision," Dongfang Chen Er nodded, which was reasonable and within his expectations.
Since they chose to go back, he would talk about going back:
"Before you leave, I have something to tell you both."
"What is it?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"Send it in!" Dongfang Chen Er didn't seem to be talking to anyone in particular.
"Clang!"
The door opened.
A fully automated small trailer drove in by itself.
On the tray was a metal box about the size of a suitcase.
"Click."
The box opened automatically, revealing five metal balls the size of tennis balls inside.
One in the middle was gold, and the remaining four were silver.
"Take these balls back with you," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"What are these things?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"This matter is of great importance, so you must remember it clearly."
"The golden ball in the middle stores the interface commands for all the Blue Star base Queen Bees and the three space fortresses. With it, you can completely control the Blue Star bases and those weapons and equipment."
"But remember, don't hand it over; you must keep it in your own hands!" Dongfang Chen Er emphasized extremely seriously.
"How to use it will be explained later."
"Let's talk about these four silver balls first."
"These four balls have the exact same function; they are four fully functional Queen Bees."
"Just like deploying the ultrasonic transmitters before, as long as you bury these balls in the ground, they can automatically find favorable locations to develop."
"You can use these Queen Bees to build new bases, produce weapons and equipment, and also communicate with me remotely."
"Whether or not to use them is up to you to decide after you return," Dongfang Chen Er said with a meaningful tone.
What did he mean?
After they returned, they would inevitably receive another different voice: that this Dongfang Chen was an imposter.
Since the person was an imposter, it was hard to say whether the things were reliable or not.
"If you decide to use them, my suggestion is to deploy one at the Mosang Ark Base and replace the original Queen Bee."
"Deploy one in Antarctica, where there is a supercomputing center I deployed before."
"Deploy one on the moon, which is very likely to become humanity's last refuge."
"Let's keep the last one as a spare."
"Finally, let me add that if you want to use this golden metal ball, you must cooperate with a silver Queen Bee and deploy them together in Antarctica."
After Dongfang Chen Er finished introducing them, the two of them were confused.
They had never done this kind of highly technical work before.
Like a young woman sitting in a bridal sedan for the first time, they were bound to be a little bewildered.
"Okay, I've remembered it. Is there any communication tool? If there are any problems after we go back, we can communicate online," Yan Zhengping asked.
"No. After the silver metal ball is deployed at the Mosang Ark Base, you will obtain the highest control of the base within 3 hours. At that time, you can talk to me," Dongfang Chen Er explained.
He was doing this deliberately, a kind of forced sale:
If they wanted to contact him, they had to deploy the Queen Bee. If they didn't trust the Queen Bee or him, then don't contact him.
