Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

In order to minimize the temporary losses to the androids, Meng Chuan had no choice but to suspend the excavation work.

After giving them the order to manufacture excavation tools, Meng Chuan also returned to the Mars base aboard a warship.

Staying here and guarding the place isn't a solution!

When Meng Chuan returned to the base, Bi Wang was already waiting with several craftsmen.

The remains of the Star Armor Behemoth have been placed in a temporary workshop on the west side of the base.

The dark golden scales gleamed coldly under the light, and several craftsmen were carefully using special instruments to cut the edges, afraid of damaging this precious material.

"Master, you're back!"

Prince Bi strode forward, a hint of excitement on his face:

"The scales are much harder than expected, and they have a natural immunity to all kinds of radiation, making them perfect for crafting digging tools!"

Meng Chuan nodded and walked into the workshop, watching the craftsmen fix a piece of scale armor in front of the machine tool.

The laser cutter grazed the surface of the scales, leaving only a shallow mark.

It takes several times more effort than cutting alloys.

This also means that it will take a considerable amount of time to create the right tools.

"Speed ​​up the process and strive to produce the first batch of digging shovels and picks within ten days."

Meng Chuan patted Bi Wang on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Master, I will personally supervise."

As Bi Wang spoke, he excitedly changed the subject:

"Also, Master, we have made a delightful unexpected discovery."

"Oh? What is it?"

Meng Chuan asked.

"The blood of this giant star-armored beast contains extremely pure energy, including its flesh."

King Bi said:

"For ordinary people, it can not only strengthen their bodies, but also accelerate their cultivation of qi."

"Even if we Qi cultivators use it, it can add at least five years of arduous training."

Even Meng Chuan was delighted by Bi Wang's discovery.

This thing isn't as immediately effective as life energy fluid.

But it is also a rare treasure!

"Then let the brothers divide it up and eat it."

Although if they were brought back to Earth, they could immediately cultivate a large number of ancient martial arts practitioners who cultivate Qi.

Meng Chuan's first thought was still the Green Gang disciples.

After all, they are the main force.

With each increase in their strength, Earth's ability to protect itself is further enhanced.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing: we need to preserve the genes of the Star Armor Behemoth."

Meng Chuan suddenly gave a word of advice.

Although King Bi did not understand why, he did not ask any further questions.

Actually, Meng Chuan was still a little unwilling to give up.

The android warriors are definitely the best tool.

They can be used in battle, or they can be used as cannon fodder.

Given the rarity of the Star Armor Behemoth's genes, Meng Chuan would love to create even more android warriors if given the chance in the future.

Even if it can't be used for forging, Meng Chuan can still use it to enhance No. 1's strength.

After all, Number 1 is a cyborg that can grow.

As long as new genes are added, she can immediately integrate them and turn them into her new abilities.

After giving Bi Wang some instructions, Meng Chuan then went to find Fu Wang.

Prince Fu is now in full charge of strengthening mental power.

With the souls of nearly 20,000 Karen aliens, it is possible to create nearly 20,000 spiritual awakeners.

Therefore, Prince Fu needed to personally oversee the selection of personnel.

Over the next few days, Meng Chuan practically lived in the workshop, personally participating in tool design.

He widened the head of the excavator shovel, sharpened the edges, and added scale fragments to the handle.

Meng Chuan originally wanted to create a set of scale armor protective suits.

This ensures that the android warriors are not exposed to radiation.

However, the scales were too rigid, making it time-consuming and labor-intensive to create protective suits, and they could not be mass-produced.

In particular, it would waste a lot of materials, which would be detrimental to Meng Chuan's ability to build new mechs in the future.

In his spare time, Meng Chuan would visit No. 1 in the medical ward.

The broken wing of No. 1 has been fixed with a special alloy, but due to the lack of life energy fluid, the recovery speed is extremely slow.

Meng Chuan had to personally change the dressings every day.

Other medical staff dared not approach number 1.

"Wait a little longer. Once we get the Stardust Titanium Crystal, we can make you the Life Energy Fluid."

Meng Chuan sat by the hospital bed, gently stroking No. 1's feathers.

Even though he knew she couldn't understand, Meng Chuan would always try to comfort her.

Besides overseeing the manufacturing of tools and accompanying No. 1, Meng Chuan's daily routine was to inquire about Locke's whereabouts from Little Card Elf.

"Little Ka, has Locke's fleet made any moves?"

Locke's threat is like a sword hanging over the Earth.

Meng Chuan's current focus of prevention and control is not Mars, but Earth.

After all, Mars has stardust and titanium crystals, so Meng Chuan believed that Locke wouldn't dare to actually fire on Mars.

But the situation might not be the same on Earth.

"Commander, Locke's warship should be 0.2 light-years away and has activated its stealth function."

Little Card Elf's voice was mechanically steady.

The Little Card Elf's scanning ability extends to within 0.2 light-years, allowing it to detect even when the creature is invisible.

However, if it exceeds this range, the Little Card Elf will lose its power.

However, at a distance of 0.2 light-years, even if Locke fires, Kaka will have enough time to intercept.

"Okay, we must keep monitoring them continuously, and report back immediately once they show up."

Meng Chuan knew very well that Locke would not let the matter rest.

The current calm may just be the calm before the storm.

In the evenings, Meng Chuan usually talks to his family on Earth.

Over the communicator, my mother's voice always carried a hint of worry:

"Xiao Chuan, is it safe on Mars? If it's not safe, come back. Your parents are waiting for you at home."

Although the father didn't say much, he would always ask the mother to remind him to "be careful."

Liu Qian and Chen Yiyi would take turns going online, and Chen Yiyi's eyes were always red.

Holding the communicator, he kept talking incoherently:

"Meng Chuan, when are you coming back? My sister Qianqian and I watch the news every day, afraid of seeing bad news..."

Liu Qian, on the other hand, would be calmer and would usually speak softly:

"Take care of yourself, we're waiting for you."

Meng Chuan leaned back in his chair, looking at the familiar faces on the screen. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, but he also felt a pang of guilt.

Meng Chuan also longed to go back.

As long as Locke doesn't die, Meng Chuan cannot leave Mars.

The Mars base needs him, Earth's defenses need him, he is everyone's source of strength.

He can't leave...

Meanwhile, on the surface of a desolate planet deep in space, Locke was standing in front of a warship's porthole.

He gazed in the direction of Mars.

The men behind him kept their heads down, not daring to breathe.

Since the defeat, Locke has been a powder keg.

It ignites instantly.

"Haven't you thought of a way to retaliate yet?"

Locke's voice was cold, tinged with suppressed anger.

"Sir, why don't we just circle around to the other side of their home planet and blast it to pieces with a single shot..."

One of his men tentatively spoke up.

But before his Shanghai silver dollar could fall, Locke kicked it.

"Idiot! Mining stardust titanium crystals requires a large number of low-level life forms as 'tools.' You've blown up their home planet, where are we going to find so many living trash?!"

"Keep thinking, all of you. If you can't come up with a solution, none of you will return to Karen alive."
