Chapter 387: 181 Depart! Embark on the Journey of Civilization!

"Boss, Kolev just received a threatening letter."

"What kind of threatening letter?"

"It’s hard to determine the nature of the letter right now," Lyu whispered, "The content of the threatening letter involved a robot pointing a gun at itself, asking Kolev one question—Old master, do you regret abandoning us?"

"Hmm?"

Yang Ming was immediately intrigued,

"What’s the situation? Did Kolev have Intelligent Machines under him when he was a pirate?"

"I initially thought so too, but after tracing all the way, I now suspect that the robots left behind at the Cas Federation estate are acting strangely," Lyu spoke softly, "I’ve interacted with those servant robots and modified their programs; Boss, do you remember?"

Yang Ming nodded, frowning in thought.

For artificial intelligence, Lyu was a very special existence, but that didn’t mean she could easily cause Intelligent Machine malfunctions.

Lyu quickly reported, "After the threatening letter appeared, I was the first to check the network around Kolev and found a bit of anomaly. The technician robot Kolev was using had a stream of data in the True Son’s Brain that shouldn’t have been there, which I have already erased."

Although... however...

What truly caught Yang Ming’s attention now was that ’technician robot.’

Wasn’t the old guy already too old to function properly? How was he still engaged with technician robots? What material was the skin made of?

Good old man, the neighboring country of Wind actually has such services?

Seeing Yang Ming’s expression, Lyu knew the boss was thinking off-track and reminded him, "It’s just an ordinary massage robot."

Yang Ming nodded calmly and asked, "Does Kolev know about this?"

"Not yet, should we tell him?" Lyu spoke softly, "We can arrange some private armed mercenaries to go over to the Cas Federation to deal with those robots that might pose a threat."

Yang Ming thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Then deal with it. You judge whether to tell Kolev about it based on the situation, just don’t let the old man worry too much."

"Got it, Boss, I’ll keep an eye on this matter. I think we should arrange some non-mechanical guards around Kolev."

Yang Ming, who was grabbing the simulated gravity rod doing push-pull exercises, smiled at this.

"You’re actually suggesting this? Don’t you generally trust machines more than humans?"

Lyu: "I only trust the Mechanical Thought Bodies we created."

"Go on and arrange it, Goddess. Maybe ask Mimili, tell her her father might be in some danger and see if she can go over there to protect him for a while... It’s a kind lie, let Kolev enjoy some family time, and Mimili can continue learning how to become a better pirate from her father."

"Yes, Boss," Lyu mumbled, "I’m worried Mimili might not be interested, after all, she’s not going to guard her Uncle Hanton."

Yang Ming twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, too lazy to deal with the increasingly impudent Little Lyu, and continued working out with the metal bars in the simulated gravity field.

This little issue wasn’t something Yang Ming dwelt upon.

He had far too many troubling matters right now.

Especially that persistent Valkyrie.

Ever since being scared by the Valkyrie who mysteriously devoured bugs, Yang Ming had been holed up in the Vaglu General, watching the situation at Sherman every day.

Under Lyu’s arrangements, the captain of that detection ship quickly reported their ’amazing’ discoveries to the Sherman Empire authorities.

The Sherman Empire reacted very quickly too.

A few Galaxy Time units after receiving the report from the detection ship, a battle squad swiftly arrived at the desolate planet, promptly discovering the tragic battle scene underground, and reported it to the Empire’s top levels immediately.

Then, an unexpected plot twist unfolded for Yang Ming.

That day’s Empire hot search was styled like this:

[Explosive news! The White Ghost, after being chased by the Insect Race, executed a bloody revenge, single-handedly obliterated an Insect Race nest, killed a low-rank queen yet to fully evolve, and destroyed the entire Insect Swarm!]

The noble lords of the Empire immediately thought of him, the White Ghost!

Yang Ming: ...

The captain swore under his breath.

Did this mean he had shot himself in the foot?

When it came to searching for the Valkyrie, relying on the Sherman Empire’s special forces was temporarily out of the question.

Over the next period, Yang Ming continuously pondered two questions:

Was the Valkyrie a complete Ancient God Life Form, and did she have other abilities he didn’t know about?

Did the Valkyrie obtain external assistance?

Lyu couldn’t find any valid information, and Yang Ming couldn’t get answers either.

What he could be sure of now was still only one thing—

The Valkyrie would stop at nothing to come for him, consume him, reclaim the genes, and perfect herself.

So Yang Ming felt that he really needed help from the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk, to complete the modification of the next battleship as soon as possible.

Only a main cannon with a diameter of one hundred meters could give Yang Ming a bit of a sense of security.

After hiding for two weeks on the Vaglu General, Lyu finally brought some fairly good news.

"Boss, the engine of Feinan has been replaced. Since the engines we’ve switched to are relatively outdated... though they are the best we could get at the moment, we have temporarily lost sub-light speed flight capability."

Yang Ming was quite satisfied with this.

If the cloaking system worked, that would be good enough.

Feinan had already become a symbol of the White Ghost, with significant roles to play in the future.

Lyu continued, "The battleship awaiting modification is ready; would you like to name it?"

Yang Ming looked at the projection screen before him and felt a bit disdainful.
