#840 - Chapter 840: Always Prepare for the Worst

In reality, Dongfang Chen Er didn't care whether they made this matter public or not.

Because this was a blatant open scheme.

He was essentially telling them explicitly that the interface codes were inside the golden metal sphere. But whether or not they used them was their own decision.

To use these codes, they had to deploy the Bee Empress.

If they weren't willing to deploy the Bee Empress, then they shouldn't use them.

Therefore, even if they knew the function of the golden metal sphere, they wouldn't escape this topic.

The technology that Qin Lao possessed wasn't bad either, couldn't they forcefully crack the metal sphere?

Of course, they could.

However, Dongfang Chen Er dared to say this openly because he wasn't afraid of them cracking it.

Because even if they took it apart, it would be useless; the codes they wanted weren't inside at all.

The real codes were still in the Mars base database.

They could only obtain the codes by activating the golden metal sphere and establishing communication with Nata.

So, why was it an open scheme? It was to make them knowingly activate it despite the risks.

"Qin Lao, there's another situation I need to tell you about," Yan Zhengping began.

"Oh? What situation?" Qin Lao asked solemnly.

"Before we came back, Dongfang Chen gave us two metal spheres. One golden, one silver," Yan Zhengping said.

Zongzhen Yue's eyes widened when he heard Yan Zhengping's words.

"Can you even say it like that?"

He didn't understand why Yan Zhengping chose to be honest but then tell another lie.

"Metal spheres? What metal spheres? Let me see," Qin Lao said.

"These are the two," Yan Zhengping took out a golden and a silver sphere from his bag and handed them to Qin Lao.

Qin Lao didn't take them but observed them from the side.

Dongfang Chen was cunning, and he wasn't at ease.

"Did he say what these were for?"

Qin Lao looked for a long time but could only tell that they were mechanical parts, possibly robots.

But their specific function couldn't be observed with the naked eye.

"He said that this golden sphere stores the interface codes for all bases, battleships, mechs, and the three space fortresses."

"And the silver sphere contains a Bee Empress."

Yan Zhengping explained.

"Interface codes!" Qin Lao's eyes lit up.

"Hmm?"

"No, that's not right!"

He was excited for less than a second before calming down again.

"Would this fake Dongfang Chen be so kindhearted?"

He didn't believe it.

"I need to take this thing away and test it to ensure there are no dangers inside," Qin Lao said.

"That would be best," Yan Zhengping nodded in agreement.

His purpose in taking out the spheres was precisely this.

With a wave of his hand, the two metal spheres disappeared. They should have been收到 into his subspace.

"Alright, you've traveled a long way, go and rest first. After the tests are complete, I'll come and find you."

"Yes!"

After Qin Lao finished speaking, he waved his hand and disappeared from the office.

In his secret base.

"Analyze these two things and see what they're for," Qin Lao instructed the staff as he handed over the metal spheres.

In the Mars base.

"Dad, the signals from two spheres have disappeared," Nata reported.

It seemed that Dongfang Chen had held something back and hadn't told them that the metal spheres could also be tracked before deployment.

But how could Nata track the signals from the Mars base to Blue Star?

This was where the 100 battleships sent in advance came into play.

After destroying the space station, they didn't return but continued to stay in Blue Star's orbit.

The communication modules on the battleships were now acting as signal relays.

"Where did they disappear?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

"Mosang Ark Base," Nata replied.

Qin Lao used a subspace channel to leave and put the spheres into subspace before leaving. Therefore, Nata could only detect the location where the signals disappeared but couldn't detect where the metal spheres went.

"It seems that Yan Zhengping still revealed the secret of the metal spheres," Dongfang Chen Er sighed.

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Nata asked.

If he didn't want others to know, he could have simply not told them.

"Yes, but I always feel a sense of emptiness in my heart," Dongfang Chen Er said sourly.

The feeling of being distrusted wasn't so wonderful.

"Then why did only two spheres disappear?" Nata asked.

"One gold, one silver?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

"That's right, one gold, one silver."

"Then they were taken for testing," Dongfang Chen Er understood perfectly.

Since they didn't trust him, they wouldn't trust the things he gave them.

Testing them was only human nature.

"Hehe, you're still thoughtful, putting in a blank Bee Empress," Nata gave a thumbs up.

"Remember, never have any侥幸心理 when dealing with enemies, and always prepare for the worst," Dongfang Chen Er began to show off.
