Chapter 70

None of the above actually matters. What matters is that the drones developed by the Right Hand are essentially military weapons. What does it intend to use them for? To deal with the components?

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s question, the Right Hand flatly rejected it: "No... It’s very difficult to use them to deal with other components."

"Then, why..."

Chen Yang didn’t believe that the Right Hand would do something useless.

"I’ve already said before, it’s for a test."

"A test? What kind of test?"

Chen Yang was even more confused by this explanation.

"A test for the cruise intelligent robots."

The Right Hand took the ice water Chen Yang handed over, drank it all in one go, threw the bottle away, and picked up a tool: "To be honest, I’ve been drifting in space as a parasitic organism for a long time. I’ve seen many races and civilizations, and although there’s inevitable self-destruction, no race can compare to Earth’s humans."

"Humans seem to be born to destroy each other. The hatred for their own kind can last for thousands of years without letting up. A small Earth is divided into over two hundred countries."

The Right Hand’s tone carried a hint of disdain as it spoke.

"Given the current level of human technology and industry, you can be considered to have entered the initial stage of interstellar development, ranking as a medium-level civilization among many. However, the narrow-mindedness and hatred of the human race can easily destroy all of this."

The Right Hand suddenly looked at Chen Yang: "Host, you might not even know if you’ll see the sun after a night’s sleep."

Chen Yang was chilled to the bone by these words and awkwardly laughed: "Commander Luosi, you’re exaggerating. Since the Cold War didn’t lead to a nuclear war, it’s even less likely to happen in this peaceful era."

"I’m talking about the high probability. Your human civilization is actually on the brink of destruction."

The Right Hand waved its tentacles and concluded: "Earth is too dangerous. Even if I recover all the components, I might still be destroyed by your human stupidity before completing my plan."

"On the brink of destruction? Commander Luosi, that’s not a funny joke at all."

Chen Yang still thought the Right Hand was worrying unnecessarily. Human history has developed for thousands of years; how could it be so easily destroyed?

"Host, you still need to learn. Do you think I would lie to you like a human?"

The Right Hand tapped on the tablet, and several possibilities for the destruction of human civilization appeared.

First, due to China’s rise, a third world war will inevitably break out over resource issues, leading to the destruction of Earth’s humans.

Second, the eruption of the Yellowstone Park volcano in the United States will alter the global ecosystem, leading to the destruction of humans.

Third, the sudden reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles will cause the Earth’s magnetic field to disappear temporarily, exposing humans to high-energy cosmic radiation, leading to their destruction.

Fourth, the impact of an asteroid, leading to the destruction of humans.

There were a few more, but Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh. How could the Right Hand believe such street literature-like prophecies?

For so long, Chen Yang finally felt intellectually superior to the Right Hand.

"Haha, Commander Luosi, these things aren’t credible. They’re just made up by people who can’t make a living."

Chen Yang kindly warned the Right Hand not to be deceived.

He had read these prophecies when he was in elementary school and was almost scared to wet his pants, worrying about the world’s destruction every day. Those days of deep deception were unbearable to recall...

"Do you think these are jokes?"

The Right Hand hit Chen Yang’s head with its tentacle, "Idiot, the destruction of a civilized race due to geological changes on their home planet or asteroid impacts is not uncommon in the universe."

"Commander Luosi, but the probability is so low."

Chen Yang was at a loss: "Even for the most likely war, given the current situation of various countries, at most a small-scale local war will break out. A full-scale war or nuclear war is impossible."

"Even the smallest probability still exists. I don’t want to be destroyed by your human stupidity."

The Right Hand fell silent for a moment, "It’s time to tell you part of the truth."

"Do you remember when I first told you that I needed the full power supply of the Three Gorges Dam?"

Chen Yang was taken aback and recalled: "Commander Luosi, are you talking about that black sphere? Does it need such a large amount of electricity?"

"No, it’s not this thing... Although it also requires a large amount of electricity, it’s not that exaggerated."

The Right Hand negated Chen Yang’s guess.

"I said my final plan requires the full power supply of the Three Gorges Dam for a year to provide energy to an item."

"That item needs a huge amount of energy to activate. In human terms, it’s..."

"The Stargate."

The four words from the Right Hand’s mouth made Chen Yang’s face change slightly.

The Stargate is a concept from human science fiction movies, a device that can use a wormhole to instantly transport matter to the other side of the universe. It’s something that only exists in movies, not in reality.

But the Right Hand is an extraterrestrial being that never jokes. Chen Yang had to believe that this was indeed a real thing.

So, this is no simple matter.

What is the Stargate? If this thing really appears in the world, it will immediately cause a global shock and even change the current international political situation in a short time.

"When I and the three components came to Earth, each carried an item. You’ve already seen the first two. The third item is Tiskur, which has the same function as what humans call the Stargate. As long as there’s sufficient energy supply, opening Tiskur will create a wormhole tunnel between universes..."

Chen Yang suddenly understood. No wonder the Right Hand initially said it needed the energy of the Three Gorges Dam. So, after this wormhole tunnel is opened, the Right Hand can return home?

"I promised you that you would see other cosmic civilizations. As long as Tiskur is opened, you can realize this dream."

"However, opening Tiskur is not a simple task. First, we need the financial resources to build the Three Gorges Dam. Second, because the opening time of Tiskur is long and has a significant impact, it will certainly attract human attention. Therefore, having the power to act without interference from any country is very important."

The Right Hand pointed to the disassembled spacecraft: "So, I’m constantly testing and establishing a completely obedient robot army. After all, humans are not a very obedient race."

So, this was the Right Hand’s plan. If, as it said, opening Tiskur would attract human attention, then no amount of wealth could prevent interference from countries and regional organizations. Only real military power could effectively resist greed.

But talking about these things now is too far ahead.

What Chen Yang truly cared about was the wealth that could rival a nation and the immortality promised by the Right Hand.

The two could cooperate: Chen Yang would help the Right Hand activate Tiskur, and the Right Hand would help Chen Yang achieve immortality. It would be a win-win situation.

There was one thing Chen Yang was still concerned about.

"Commander Luosi, you mentioned three items. What is the fourth one?"

Since the Stargate, a powerful weapon, had appeared, the fourth item must also be extraordinary.

Chen Yang had to think this way.

The magnetic field binder could become a powerful tool for the industrial foundation, even changing human industry from the bottom up.

And the Stargate, needless to say, has such great value that it could drive every country to madness.

So, apart from that small sphere of unknown use, the fourth item must also be significant.

Unfortunately, the Right Hand avoided the topic: "You don’t need to know now. Go do your job, host."

Well, how long has this extraterrestrial been on Earth? It’s already learned to create suspense like a human, picking up all the bad habits and none of the good ones.

Chen Yang was indignant. (PS: Today, I saw a reader comment saying this is a very stupid book. I was stunned for a long time and felt a bit sad, sigh.)
