Chapter 133: A Precious Planet

"Zhou Yuan, I never imagined that you would be able to quell the rebellious forces of the three major civilizations in the capital star system within three months. You have truly made a great contribution."

"It's all thanks to the adults' prestige; we were just lucky."

"It's not a matter of good luck, it's because you have great strength."

"We, all human beings on Earth, are willing to serve our Lord and our superiors."

"Unfortunately, our hyperspace communication base station is still not completed. In another four months, I will definitely report your achievements to Master Kelly."

"Thank you, sir."

"Zhou Yuan, how do you feel about that young girl?"

"Are you referring to that beautiful Amos? Thank you for gifting her to me, sir. This girl is the best of the best."

"Haha, I'm glad you like it. I repeatedly told Wacker to have Adams carefully select it."

"Thank you, my Lords."

"How about we have Adams find a few more, and you pick one?"

"Lord Balatu, thank you for your kind offer, but I'll make my choice after things settle down in the capital star system. You know, spending every night with that girl is exhausting, and I'm worried my body won't be able to handle it, which might interfere with important matters for the group or the higher-ups."

"Good, not bad, it's rare that you've been thinking of us all this time."

"It is our duty to serve our master and elders. Please speak well of us to our master in the future."

"As long as you do a good job, I will speak up for you."

"Thank you, sir."

"Zhou Yuan, what are your thoughts on radioactive heavy elements?"

“Radioactive heavy elements? Sir, we come into contact with some radioactive elements. These elements exist for a very short time, and some for a very long time. They easily decay into other elements. We usually refine them to manufacture nuclear weapons.”

"Ah."

"Sir, I didn't know you were bringing this up...?"

"That's right, Master Kelly wants to create a powerful weapon, but this weapon requires the extraction of a radioactive heavy element."

"Oh, extracting radioactive elements shouldn't be too difficult for us."

"Yes, that's why I thought of you."

"Lord Balatu, please feel free to give your orders."

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. I want you to go to Planet Amos and help me mine and refine radioactive heavy elements."

"This, this..."

"What? You don't want to?"

"My lord, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm worried that Lord Vark might have objections, as well as Adams, the leader of Planet Amos."

“Wack is easy to handle. As for Adams and the others, I can just give them orders directly. Adams and the others are too inefficient in mining and refining. No way, Master Kelly will definitely not be satisfied. I won’t be able to deliver on my promise. If the master gets angry, my life will be in danger.”

“Alright then, sir. As long as Lord Vark and Amos are on good terms, we will definitely increase our efficiency.”

"Alright, here's what we'll do. I'll talk to Vark. Aside from the mineral resources we need, everything else on Amos is yours. Consider it a reward, a way of showing your appreciation. After all, both of your races are human civilizations, so you might be better suited to govern it than Vark. What do you say?"

"Thank you, sir."

"However, the delivery of those radioactive heavy elements must be made on time and in the correct quantity, otherwise you will bear the consequences. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

"Sir, rest assured, we will definitely complete all tasks."

"Okay, I'll issue a document immediately to arrange the handover."

"Thank you, sir. You've worked hard."

"I've been busy these past few days, so I won't be able to take care of you."

"My lord, I shall return now."

"Yes, do a good job, and you'll definitely benefit from it in the future."

"Thank you, sir. Sir, there is something I would like to ask you."

"What's up?"

"As you know, our planet and Amos are still some distance apart. In order to facilitate our efficient mining and refining of radioactive heavy elements, I personally think—and perhaps not quite right, sir—it would be better to place the two planets together. What do you think?"

"Ah, right, how come I didn't think of that?"

"The adults are very busy, devoting themselves to the group's business. How can they possibly consider every little thing?"

"Hmm, it's really busy. Even rebuilding the hyperspace communication base station is giving me a headache. Moving planets shouldn't be a problem for you. You can decide for yourself. It would be best to move your planet to the planet Amos, because our transport ships are more familiar with its route when collecting and refining elements."

"Yes, sir. We await your confirmation of the handover information."

"it is good."

Zhou Yuan withdrew, and only after walking out of the gates of Balatu's enormous mansion did he feel an overwhelming sense of joy. This meeting with Balatu had been incredibly fruitful; he'd actually given him Planet Amos, a planet rich in radioactive heavy element minerals that existed shortly after the Big Bang. That Balatu, he thought I didn't know the uses of these minerals. Fine, let's play along to the end. Zhou Yuan thought to himself.

Back at the fleet base, Zhou Yuan told Wei Shan and Leifia everything Balatu had said and what he had thought. After careful analysis, the two beauties also believed that Balatu was probably not setting a trap. All three of them were very excited and were waiting for Balatu to confirm the handover information.

Four hours later, Zhou Yuan received confirmation from Balatu, Vack, and Adams that everything on Planet Amos, except for the eight or nine mineral resources, belonged to Zhou Yuan. In other words, Zhou Yuan replaced Vack and became the nominal ruler of Planet Amos.

"This Balatu is no simpleton either. To win you over, he gave you an entire planet for free. First he gave you beautiful women, now he's giving you a planet, who knows what he'll give you next? Oh dear, this isn't good?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan was startled when he heard Lefia say "not good," thinking that there was a flaw in the plan.

"If Balatu gives you the planet Amos, then all the beautiful women on that planet will be yours?"

“Princess, you are right. Brother, you must return Planet Amos.”

"Why do you two always disagree with me lately? Are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous? Isn't it nice for the three of us to have some fun?"

"Yeah, that's true. Anyway, I've felt much better these past few months. It turns out that life really does need some fun."

"As long as my brother is happy."

"Let's move the planet to the vicinity of Amos as soon as possible, mine and refine the minerals, and give Balatu a surprise first, but we can't deliver the goods too quickly."

"The Amos only deliver goods once every twenty years, and we only have about a year left in the capital star system. How could the delivery not be fast?"

"Shanmei is right. The technology of the Amos civilization is very different from the technology we are showing here. We will deliver the goods for the first time in six months."

"Ok."

“Then let’s start moving. Before we move, Adams needs to do some preparations.”

Four days later, with Zhou Yuan's order to "move," the fleet base began to bustle with activity.

A Hercules warship sets sail, accelerates, and enters warp space. Two hours later, it arrives at its destination, the planet Amos.

The Yamos scientists, this time, are closely monitoring the Earth Empire's fleet's activities or traces near the planet Yamos using various equipment such as radio telescopes, spectrometers, infrared imagers, and gravitational wave detectors.

These scientists discovered that a large number of metal blocks flew out of the giant warship. These metal blocks automatically and rapidly flew towards the planet Amos's orbit around the sun, and then quickly and automatically assembled near Amos.

The Amos were astonished to find that the large ring, which appeared to have been successfully assembled, began to glow, and the light grew brighter and brighter. Suddenly, a giant sphere appeared near the planet Amos.

Fortunately, the Yamos had received warnings and reminders from their government and already knew that it was Earthlings moving planets; otherwise, who knows what chaos would have ensued. Even so, many Yamos were filled with fear, while others were excessively excited.

What calmed the people of Amos was that the planet Amos did not experience the gravitational oscillations that scientists had predicted. Everything on Amos was normal, and there were no earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as foretold in the prophecy.

In order to conceal his strength, Zhou Yuan simply used a teleportation portal to move the original fleet base planet to the same orbit as the planet Amos, so that it would revolve around the Amos Sun.

Chu Xiaolu was extremely excited, looking at that light blue planet, which was her home.

Nine warships set off from the planet from which they had been transported, each heading towards one of the nine mining and refining bases on the planet Amos. These nine mining and refining bases were already deserted.

Intelligent robots and machinery descended from the warships above the mining base to the ground. These intelligent machines quickly dismantled and cleared the Yamos people's mining and refining equipment, vacating the site. In less than half a day, various mining and refining buildings were re-erected at the mining and refining base, and large machines began mining. Conveyor belts transported the ore, and a series of processes such as sorting, processing, filtering, refining, and storage operated rapidly and efficiently. What the Yamos people envied most was that not a single human from Earth participated in the entire process; it was all automated and mechanized.

Through observation, Yamoscientists estimated that humans on Earth could accomplish in just over five months what the Yamos people would do in twenty years using this mechanized approach. They were all well aware of the immense resources, manpower, and wealth these nine mining and refining sites had consumed for the Yamos. At this moment, the Yamos felt a strange sense of relief.

News outlets, media, and the internet naturally reported on Earth's human civilization in an explosive manner. Gradually, the name Chu Xiaolu emerged, becoming a hot topic on the front page of major news media. Chu Xiaolu became a goddess in everyone's eyes because she was actually with an Earthling.

The orphanage where Chu Xiaolu was located was constantly visited by a large number of people who came to learn from her. In addition, a large number of wealthy businessmen visited and donated large sums of money to the orphanage and school, hoping that the director would speak well of them to Chu Xiaolu and that Chu Xiaolu would give them an introduction.

A popular figure comparable to Chu Xiaolu is Zhou Yuan. Images of Zhou Yuan walking alongside Adams at the presidential palace sold out globally. Zhou Yuan's handsome image has deeply resonated with every young woman in Amos; he's no exaggeration to call himself a heartthrob and a global heartthrob.

Although Zhou Yuan is nominally the master of Planet Amos, he has not interfered in any affairs of the Amos people. He even declined Adams' invitation to give a global address.

Aside from nine mining and refining bases, everything on the planet Amos was developing healthily under the leadership of the Adams government. However, the arrival of humans from Earth brought even more passion, vitality, and hope to the lives and work of the Amos inhabitants.

Spaceships built by various conglomerates attempted to approach the Earth-like planet, but they seemed to hit a wall. No matter how they flew, in which direction, or for how long, they could never reach the planet's synchronous orbit. Gradually, this became a kind of "extreme challenge" for the wealthy in Amos, but no one could get close to the planet's synchronous orbit.

Later, the Adams government ordered that planet be designated a no-fly zone, prohibiting any private aircraft from flying to that planet without government permission or approval, otherwise the planet Amos would be attacked by its space-based laser weapon.

After the space-based weapon destroyed several ships that had trespassed into the forbidden area, the wealthy people of Amos, who had been itching to try, finally gave up. Like other ordinary Amos residents, they could only look up at the large planet above them. The difference was that these wealthy people began to buy large telescopes to curiously observe the planet, but to their great disappointment, they only saw circles of white dots.
