The Seventh Base

Chapter 775: Chapter 123 Too Cautious_2

Messages conveyed to Blue Star Energy Technology Group from different planets, and subsequently to Xu Mo, made him feel the oppressive force of war as the executive directors of the Star System Alliance entered a tense atmosphere in Star City.

At this time, Xu Mo was on a call with Ye Qingdie.

“All the major planets are willing to fully cooperate with the expansion of Blue Star Energy Technology Group and provide equipment, even, if necessary, allowing soldiers to directly enter into the production of the group,” Ye Qingdie started, “They have just one request, to produce Superpower Equipment at the fastest speed and supply it to them.”

Xu Mo was somewhat surprised by Ye Qingdie’s words, as the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, with the arrival of the war, had seemingly transformed overnight into a military factory, even receiving strong support from various planets.

But on second thought, this was normal. It was likely that not only the Blue Star Energy Technology Group but any top-notch mechanical company capable of producing Superpower Equipment would receive key support. This was a wartime state, with no one knowing if the war would come or how long it would last. Once war arrived, weapons and equipment would become of utmost importance.

Although a Transcendent might be powerful enough to match the pinnacle of technological weapons, strong Transcendents were scarce, whereas weapons and equipment could be continually produced.

“In addition, the Lucas Star Federation Government has also requested that we provide weapon support,” Ye Qingdie continued.

“As long as it doesn’t threaten the security of the company, cooperate with them, but make sure to keep a tight hold on our core technology. Also, all bases of Blue Star Energy Technology Group are entering an expansion phase,” Xu Mo declared. As long as Lucas Star didn’t plunder the group like what was mentioned before, such as military take-over, they could temporarily cooperate. They needed time.

Although Xu Mo disliked war, he recognized that war acted as a natural catalyst for companies like Blue Star Energy Technology Group, enabling them to expand and grow rapidly.

The current bases, although sizeable, were still far from sufficient to meet the demands of a war.

If they could take over a planet as a base, complete with a military industry, the entire vast industry used to support the war would drive the development of the planet.

However, their first priority was to ensure the security of the planet, for if others attacked their base star directly, it would mean the end.

“Byron Star.”

Xu Mo thought inwardly, once the flames of war reached the Star System Alliance, it would present the best opportunity for them to take Byron Star.

Moreover, after controlling Byron Star, they could enter a phase of rapid expansion, complemented by a military industrial chain.

But as he had considered before, if they took Byron Star and then Mandala Star launched a military strike against them, the base would be destroyed. At their current level, they were insufficiently capable of defending against an attack from Mandala Star.

“Xu Mo,” Ye Qingdie called out.

“Hmm,” Xu Mo responded.

“There’s another piece of good news,” Ye Qingdie said.

“What news?” Xu Mo inquired.

“From the technology discovered in the Deep Sea Battleship, apart from weapons, there’s also supporting technology, such as detection and Invisibility Technology, which surpasses the level of the Star System Alliance,” Ye Qingdie spoke up: “The research team is working on it and has made some breakthroughs.”

Xu Mo’s eyes sparkled a bit; in the interstellar space, detection and Invisibility Technology were extremely important.

The universe was boundless; navigating through the vast cosmos meant that a direct encounter was impossible, hence the need for detection and Invisibility Technology. Detection technology could locate other people’s starships in the universe and determine if someone was tracking for an assault, while Invisibility Technology would avoid detection by others. If both technologies could exceed the level of the Star System Alliance, they could traverse the star domain of the Star System Alliance with impunity.

In other words, I can detect you, but you can’t detect me.

This was naturally the technology of an interstellar thief!

Xu Mo was somewhat excited and said, “Give my thanks to the tech team for their hard work. Have them speed up the research, and, additionally, if war breaks out, promise to ensure the safety of the tech team’s families, bringing them to a secure base.”

“Okay,” Ye Qingdie replied, “You’re so excited, what are you planning to do?”

“Hmm?” Xu Mo was taken aback, she had noticed.

“Nothing,” Xu Mo said, could it be that he had a natural propensity for thievery?

“I’ll come to get you tomorrow,” Ye Qingdie stated before hanging up the Communicator. She was merely thinking of Xu Mo’s shameless x-ray ability… Xu Mo seemed to have a particular fondness for this type of snooping ability.

One is probing in reality, the other is probing technology in the universe.

Xu Mo was completely unaware that Ye Qingdie had already speculated so much; he was not the person she imagined.

The next day, people continued to leave Lucas University.

Outside Lucas School, there was a constant stream of people, many of whom were wearing devices and blending in with the crowd.

At the same time, not far from Lucas University, inside a building, armed personnel were waiting, and there were even Mechas moving about.

“We’ve been waiting for several days now, and he still hasn’t left the university?” someone inside a Mecha complained.

“What’s the rush? It’s not like you’re the only one waiting,” someone else responded through mechanical devices used for communication.

“This time, that kid won’t be able to sprout wings and fly away,” another person stated.

Xu Mo had actually had a falling out with Lucas Star, and King Richard was very dissatisfied with him. Moreover, with the war clouds looming, this was a godsend opportunity to deal with Xu Mo.

This time, Xu Mo would not think of escaping.

Furthermore, even if they captured Xu Mo, it was unlikely that the Lucas Star Federation Government would do much. They might even sit down to discuss cooperation and find a way to divide up the Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

Of course, all this was predicated on controlling Xu Mo.

However, they had no doubt about the success of their operation; with the force they had deployed, there was no way Xu Mo could escape.

“Boom…” Just then, a roaring sound came from overhead. A shadow flashed across the sky, and they looked out the window to see a starship dozens of meters long passing overhead, slowing down its flight.

The starship came directly above Lucas University and started to descend slowly, making the students of Lucas University reveal surprised expressions.

A starship to pick someone up?

Who had such clout?

Which royal family’s prince or princess was going home?

Several fully armed figures stepped out from the starship, and not long after, Xu Mo came out, greeted them, and then they all entered the starship together.

“This…”

“It’s actually Xu Mo.”

The students of Lucas University marveled, befitting the founder of Blue Star Energy Technology Group, what an impressive presence.

However, those who had been waiting outside for a long time were speechless, staring dumbfounded as Xu Mo boarded the starship.

A rumbling noise echoed as the starship started up and swiftly tore through the void and departed.

On the ground, many people, including those who had been preparing to take Xu Mo down, watched the receding silhouette of the starship.

“Withdraw,” the fully armed figures hidden in different buildings received their orders.

“Why?” someone asked.

“Are you going to attack the starship?” a cold voice came through, and only then did they realize the starship had come to pick up Xu Mo. They cursed a few times after a moment of stunned silence.

They had been lying in wait for days, and this was it?

That bastard, was he that afraid of dying that he had the starship pick him up? That’s just too pathetic!
