After explaining the situation in brief, Zhao Yu added, “It seems we’re running short on transport s.h.i.+ps. I’ve got fifty five fully loaded with two hundred million Blue Moon dollars worth of resources…”

“I understand, Commander. Once we’ve got the resources, I’ll prioritize dispatching three hundred transport s.h.i.+ps…”

Each transport s.h.i.+p cost about ten hundred thousands Blue Moon dollars in equivalent resources, so three hundred s.h.i.+ps would be around three million. They had just sent back resources worth a staggering two hundred and thirty million Blue Moon dollars.

“How do you plan to spend these resources?”

“First, allocate fifty million to build Earth’s laser defense system…

Then, I will use another one hundred million Blue Moon dollars to enhance our fleet of wars.h.i.+ps. The remaining will go into establis.h.i.+ng the first line of defense…”

Having settled the matter of resource allocation, Uncle Da asked, “Commander, when will you be back?”

…..

“I’ll return in about two and a half days, once the remaining resources are in place…”

Zhao Yu didn’t feel comfortable leaving the job of receiving eight hundred million Blue Moon dollars worth of resources to the robots. He had to oversee it personally.

After a moment’s hesitation, Uncle Da stated, “Commander, we received footage from the escort fleet. It seems like you were a.s.saulted on Earth?”

Noticing Uncle Da’s curiosity, Zhao Yu briefly recounted how Qiao Shuyu accidentally ran into him. He also shared his conversation with Colonel Chu.

“Do you understand their intentions?”

After listening, Uncle Da looked utterly bewildered. “Commander I’ll do my best to a.n.a.lyze…”

“Sure, do what you can. If it’s too much, let it go. It doesn’t have any major implications anyway…”

Wrapping up the discussion, Zhao Yu directed the transport s.h.i.+ps towards the moon. He, however, headed to his temporary residence on Blue Moon in his s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, planning to spend the night and partic.i.p.ate in the ribbon-cutting event the next day.

The moon base.

Uncle Da tirelessly worked to decipher Zhao Yu’s experiences of the day. Much to his frustration, he couldn’t discern Earth’s intentions, no matter how much he a.n.a.lysed.

“Once again, it touches upon the blind spot of human emotions…”

Uncle Da sighed deeply. As an Al, he found it tough to grasp certain aspects of human behavior.

For him, scientific knowledge came naturally. But when it came to social and cultural understanding on Earth, he found it baffling. He could read every word but couldn’t comprehend the underlying meanings.

For example, he knew Zhao Yu often used his Projection Touch Watch to generate images of various women and found pleasure using the reward mechanisms built into simulated biological genes.

However, he couldn’t understand what this pleasure was like or even what it meant.

“Could it be that I need a human body to understand their behavior like a human?”

Uncle Da felt a sense of injustice. He possessed self-awareness, yet he wasn’t human.

He picked up a history book and flipped through it, imitating a human.

However, this inefficient act didn’t help him understand the content any better.

“Why did Xiang Yu let Liu Bang go at the Hongmen Banquet when he should have killed him?”

Logically, Xiang Yu’s optimal decision should’ve been to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet. But he didn’t and ultimately lost his empire.

“The moment I felt most human was probably when I secretly meddled with Earth’s Protective s.h.i.+eld…”

Upon self-a.n.a.lysis, Uncle Da realized his actions were ostensibly for Earth’s defense, but there seemed to be a more personal motive.

“Am I just afraid that the Commander will get too close to Earth and not need us?”

“What kind of emotion is this?!”

Uncle Da quickly skimmed through the database transmitted from Earth.

He noticed that throughout history, those who worked behind the superior’s backs were motivated by various emotions – love, hatred, revenge, or even greed…

“Am I doing this out of love, hate, or vengeance?!”

In his emotionless framework, murder was a typical human action.

Despite understanding that humans had familial connections like parents, siblings, and relatives.

Even though he had seen the parents of countless main characters being killed, Yet, he still found it hard to grasp the concept of an ‘enemy’.

Perhaps he would only comprehend the notion of revenge the day Zhao Yu was killed.

At the Blue Moon Base,

Zhao Yu had just awoken and was preparing to freshen up when Uncle Da appeared, an unusual look of weariness on his face.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Yu, noticing his fatigued state, couldn’t help but express curiosity.

“Commander, I have spent the entire night a.n.a.lyzing the experiences you described yesterday…”

“Any results?”

“No…” Uncle Da admitted, a look of embarra.s.sment was.h.i.+ng over his face.

He had come across some related materials in the database, known to Earthlings as ‘harem novels.’

However, these works were focused on biological reproduction. Logically speaking, why would the Earthlings want their officers to reproduce without reason? It didn’t make sense.

“It is alright if we have not found anything. It could be a misunderstanding. Councilman Chu also clarified that it was due to an internal leak, causing some information to slip out, which led to this trouble.”

Uncle Da shook his head, voicing his concerns, “Commander, I believe it is not as simple. How could there be a lapse in such a matter? It is improbable that Earth would make such a mistake…”

Another thought crossed his mind. The database indicated that excessive reproduction could lead to life depiction and death in Earth’s male humans.

He speculated that the Earthlings might exploit Zhao Yu’s human genetic reproductive trait, leading to his death under a woman’s hands..
