VCRMM: Chapter 284

Yi Minkang and his wife stared at the little robot in a daze.

The virtual cabin guide AI of the Flanders Interstellar Federation was an AI image they were very familiar with.

However, just by listening to the voice of the little robot in front of them, they wouldn’t realize that this was a virtual AI. It felt exactly like a real human being.

“Your Highness Xiao Wu, please wait a moment,” Dr Ding said with a smile. “I will introduce two new friends to you.”

The little robot turned around and looked at Yi Minkang and his wife. His electronic eyes blinked. Then he remembered something and said quickly, “Hey, wait a minute!”

Then the little robot disappeared from the light screen. Wang Ling was about to ask, but the next second, he reappeared.

However, his image had changed when he reappeared. He was now a little boy with silver hair and purple eyes, as well as delicate and beautiful features. He looked vaguely like a replica of His Majesty Roland and Lord Si Sheng.

“Hello, I’m Xiao Wu.”

Xiao Wu, who had changed his clothes, no, changed into a new look, waved at them and smiled shyly. He looked completely harmless, which was somewhat different from the little robot who just shouted ‘Old Ding.’

“Hello…” Yi Minkang and his wife also introduced themselves.

Before they could finish, Xiao Wu said, “I know you guys! My brother said you can build amazing mechs and warships. I’m looking forward to it!”

In fact, he was the one who figured out their location, but Xiao Wu kept that secret.

It was because his brother said that if he didn’t want others to know something, he didn’t have to say it.

Then the little boy looked at Dr Ding. “I’ll leave first. Come back and see me when you are free.”

“Okay, Your Highness Xiao Wu.”

Dr Ding nodded happily. Over the past few months, he had developed a deep friendship with this little intelligent life.

Thanks to this, he was able to occasionally receive some news about Val. Princess Val was still on an interstellar journey and hadn’t returned.

Then Dr Ding took Yi Minkang and Wang Ling off the shuttle. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to visit the research institute.”

“This institute was built not long ago. The underground part is still being improved, but basic use is no longer a problem.”

Roland’s Imperial Research Institute had improved countless times since Dr Ding first arrived here. However, the couple had been exposed to top scientific fields before and weren’t surprised by just a research institute.

They were more curious about…

“Old Ding, that His Highness Xiao Wu…”

Dr Ding glanced at them. He knew he couldn’t hide it, so he explained, “Yes, His Highness Xiao Wu is an intelligent life form. His birth is a miracle.”

“I won’t say anything else. I just hope you remember that His Highness Xiao Wu is very important to His Majesty. His public identity is His Majesty’s younger brother, ranking fifth.”

“I know that scientific researchers always have the spirit of seeking the truth, but this isn’t suitable for His Highness Xiao Wu. You just need to respect him and treat him as a real human being.”

Yi Minkang and his wife looked at each other and tactfully didn’t ask any more questions. Nevertheless, the shock and trance in their hearts remained unabated.

Intelligent life…

How many scientists had struggled all their lives but had never been able to get involved in this field? There were even countless people who asserted that intelligent life didn’t exist at all. No matter how realistic, artificial intelligence couldn’t truly have human emotions.

Wang Ling was once a supporter of this theory.

Now she saw a real intelligent life on a planet that was said to be a magical civilization!

In a trance, Yi Minkang and Wang Ling followed Dr Ding and started to visit the research institute.

Wang Ling was the vice dean and her authority was only one level lower than Dr Ding, so many research projects weren’t hidden from her. Yi Minkang was also a reserve vice dean, so His Majesty said that he could be treated equally with Wang Ling.

Many projects had only just started. It was as Dr Ding said. The Roland Empire was still a barren desert in the field of science…

No, that wasn’t the case.

In this vast desert, there was an oasis that no other nation could even dream of. The pearl was temporarily covered under the sand.

But Wang Ling and Yi Minkang believed that this pearl would shine brightly sooner or later.

Then, they discovered… there was more than one oasis.

“Dean, the test of the fixed-point teleporter has come to an end but we have encountered a small problem.”

At this time, a researcher came over and reported the situation to Dr Ding.

Dr Ding walked deeper into the underground laboratory with the report. Wang Ling and Yi Minkang hurriedly followed, but they felt a bit confused again.

Teleporter? Was it that type of teleporter that they were thinking of?

The facts proved that it was indeed the fixed-point teleportation technology developed by the Interstellar Alliance!

This was the highest level secret of the Interstellar Alliance. How could the Roland Empire develop it independently?

Once Dr Ding solved the problem and came back to talk to them, they found out that this was actually the second fixed-point teleporter!

Listening to Dr Ding’s nonchalant tone, Yi Minkang and Wang Ling felt themselves becoming completely numb.

They wouldn’t feel any fluctuations in their hearts even if Roland took out another first-class interstellar combat mecha or battleship.

In any case, they would fight here to the death for the Roland Empire!

The moment Xu Sili sent Dr Ding and the others away, he received good news from Silin.

With the efforts of the braves and the soldiers, they finally pushed to Roland’s original border line and recovered all the territory lost in the beast wave five years ago!

This was indeed a very memorable moment.

Xu Sili couldn’t hide his joy either.

He immediately went to the government hall, found Xenos, and shared the good news with him.

But it was obvious that Silin had already told him first.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very pleased.”

The silver-haired man sat by the window. The sunlight shone on him and made his smile even more beautiful.

Xenos’ condition was much better than before.

Not only did his complexion regain its healthy rosy color, but he no longer walked sluggishly. His temperament became more stable and there was a bright gentleness.

In particular, after the leadership of the Bewatt Empire was wiped out by Si Sheng and Xu Fengqing, the haze that shrouded him almost dissipated.

He now loved life more than before, and there was always a light in his eyes. Even though he had to deal with so many trivial government affairs every day, he was always full of energy and never complained about anything.

It wasn’t known if it was a physical problem, but he still looked thin and not much stronger.

Xu Sili was just about to ask him if they wanted to go to the border together when he heard Xenos ask, “Your Majesty, have you seen Fengqing lately?”

Seeing some worry in Xenos’ eyes, Xu Sili didn’t dare tell him that his older brother was still wandering on Bewatt Star.

His older brother probably didn’t tell Xenos because he was afraid that Xenos would worry.

“You haven’t been in touch lately?” He asked.

Xenos nodded slightly. “Yes, he contacts me but he seems to be avoiding me. He refuses every time I invite him to the palace.”

Xu Sili laughed dryly and quickly tried to smooth things over for his older brother. “No, it is just that I gave him a mission and he is currently carrying it out.”

Xenos narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Is he still on Bewatt Star?”

Xu Sili was shocked. He hadn’t expected the other person to be so perceptive. He quickly shook his head. “You worry too much.”

Xenos stared for a while. It wasn’t known if he believed it or not, but in the end, he nodded and didn’t say anything else.

“Imperial Brother, do you want to go to the border with me?” Xu Sili changed the subject.

Xenos glanced at the documents piled on the table. Then he looked at the young man and said, “No, you and Silin go.”

Xu Sili smiled stiffly and didn’t dare to stay any longer. After leaving, he was thinking about the government reform that his older brother had mentioned before.

This matter should be put on the agenda.

Otherwise, the administrative efficiency was too slow. He couldn’t keep exploiting Xenos like this.

Xu Sili took note of this. He left the palace with Si Sheng and headed towards Roland’s original border.

Looking down from above, the ground in Roland had undergone tremendous changes.

In the wilderness that was once densely populated by interstellar beasts, these beasts were rarely seen now. Instead, there were neat farmlands and orchards.

These farmlands were connected between the major cities. Various large agricultural machinery were working in the fields. In addition to planting, animal husbandry had also developed on the coastal plains.

Elemental cannons were set up in every corner. Once a flying interstellar beast was detected approaching, they would automatically launch an attack.

Once the wings were broken and they were hunted continuously, the number of flying interstellar beasts decreased significantly. The desire to survive made these strange beasts no longer visit Roland’s territory. Only one or two could be seen occasionally.

The rest spread to areas outside the Roland Empire. For a time, the airspace of the Roland Empire was unprecedentedly calm.

In the past, they could always see groups of interstellar beasts flying by. Now, these huge creatures that blocked out the sun and the sky rarely appeared within visible range.

Such changes were mentioned again and again by the people of Roland. People gradually gathered up their courage to leave the main cities that sheltered them and migrate to surrounding areas.

After leaving Orchid Moon City in the far west, one could see houses rising from the ground.

These houses were of various shapes and styles, including Chinese gardens, European castles and modern villas and high-rise buildings.

Of course, most of them were very small houses.

These houses of different styles combined together were unexpectedly harmonious and full of a magical feeling.

Seeing such a main city, Xu Sili suddenly felt that it was a good idea to allow players to play freely without any unified planning.

In any case, the thing the Roland Empire had the most of was land. Just let them build it.

After leaving the airspace of the City of the Braves, he could still see a few houses far away from the city, scattered everywhere. It was obviously Roland’s construction style.

It should’ve been built when the interstellar beasts were being cleared out, and looked quite new.

However, based on the speed at which players exchanged land, Xu Sili felt that these houses would probably be incorporated into the City of the Braves soon.

They flew all the way. Even though the shadow leopard was very fast, it still took them a day and a night to finally reach Roland’s original border.

Xu Sili and Si Sheng arrived and happened to see Roland’s army, which was about to continue exploring.
