As he watched the massive "fireworks" bloom in Earth's orbit, Liu Rui'an, who had instantly appeared at Tower 49, had a rather sour expression.

There was no way around it; according to the original plan, Liu Rui'an intended to subdue the alien AI, Tiet, using both force and system infiltration.

This way, not only would he obtain Tiet, the command center, but also the technology tree of the alien civilization.

However, the alien AI, Tiet, turned out to be quite stubborn.

Upon realizing that its drone army couldn't inflict any damage on a certain individual and that its intelligent core was gradually being eroded by the infiltrating program, it chose to self-destruct as it saw itself about to be subdued by a mysterious and powerful entity.

If Liu Rui'an hadn't recently obtained the ability of mental transmission and also used the "Steel Body" gene, he would have likely been in a very dire situation, if not dead, due to the intense explosion.

"Whatever, self-destruction or not, the main goal of this穿越 (穿越 means '穿越' in Chinese, which can be translated as 'crossing over' or 'traveling to another world') has already been achieved."

After muttering to himself, Liu Rui'an quickly made his way to the control center of Tower 49.

"Starling, how is the control of the hydroelectric platform, drones, and other towers coming along?" Without paying attention to the busy intelligent robots, Liu Rui'an plopped down in a chair and asked.

Using the holographic projection device provided earlier, Starling projected a holographic image in front of its master and reported:

"All data from the first sequence hydroelectric platform has been obtained. We have eighty percent of the drone data, and zero data from the other towers."

Liu Rui'an wasn't particularly disappointed with this result. After all, from the moment he revealed his "true form" to the self-destruction of the alien AI, the entire process took less than five minutes.

In such a short time, managing to control the hydroelectric platform, which is the most crucial goal of this穿越 (crossing over), was already a significant achievement.

As for the drones and other towers, though it would be troublesome not to control them, it would merely take some time for Liu Rui'an.

"OK, deploy the satellites we brought, and our drones. Conduct a comprehensive scan of the entire Earth to search for all survivors and towers."

"Also, conduct a thorough analysis of the rogue drones and develop new models as soon as possible."

"By the way, don't forget about the opening work for this planet. Start according to the previous plan as soon as possible."

Following Liu Rui'an's orders, Starling immediately established contact with the 49th Tower, which serves as the command center, and the valley base.

Soon, the Punisher-class frigate took off, and within about an hour, the strategic satellites they brought were already in Earth's orbit.

At the same time, a large number of improved U** spy drones from the "Elysium" dimension were released in groups.

The original U** spy drones had a diameter of 1.1 meters, a height of 25 centimeters, and a maximum cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour.

Equipped with four sets of nano-plasma pulse vector propulsion units, these drones had a range of about 2,000 kilometers.

After the modifications, the drones' size increased by less than 20%, but their cruising speed, range, and detection capabilities were at least ten times stronger than the original version.

To deal with special situations, two small electromagnetic railguns were even installed, giving the drones, which were originally only for reconnaissance, some offensive capabilities.

With these drones and the strategic satellites in Earth's orbit, a large area centered around Tower 49 was quickly "plowed."

While finding the base of the resistance, they also discovered the 52nd clone, Jack Harper, who, in the original plot, sacrificed the 49th clone to achieve victory.

However, Liu Rui'an's attention was not on these trivial matters.

Since the relevant plans had already been made by Starling before the穿越 (crossing over), even if the alien AI ultimately chose self-destruction, it wouldn't cause much trouble.

After roughly inquiring about the subsequent matters, Liu Rui'an directly teleported to a hydroelectric platform within the patrol area of Tower 49.

Thanks to the fully automatic control system used by the alien AI on the hydroelectric platforms, under Starling's control, these platforms resumed their normal operations after a brief strike.

After spending some time transporting personnel and supplies from the valley base, Liu Rui'an quickly arrived at the warehouse on the hydroelectric platform.

Seeing that the warehouse's inventory was not particularly large, but each triangular prism container was filled with a purple-red liquid, Liu Rui'an's previously gloomy mood improved significantly.

Fuel cells were one of the main goals of Liu Rui'an's crossing over.

Although the technological content of these fuel cells was not as advanced as the new elements obtained from Tony Stark, they had the advantage of being mass-produced and using common raw materials.

Seawater, which covers 71% of Earth's surface, is the raw material needed to produce fuel cells.

"Starling, quickly inventory all the fuel cells. Once we have enough for use, stop the hydroelectric platforms." Liu Rui'an, playing with a fuel cell in his hand, instructed.

"As you command, my master." Starling, who immediately executed the order, replied.

Although the inventory of fuel cells in the hydroelectric platform was not large, for Liu Rui'an, having enough was sufficient.

After all, this world's Earth had been almost completely destroyed by the alien AI, Tiet. Instead of continuing to exploit it, it would be more valuable to rebuild the Earth.

After inspecting the fuel cells, Liu Rui'an picked up the energy weapon he had brought from the tower.

This high-energy weapon used by the protagonist, Jack Harper, may not look impressive, but its actual value is quite high.

Liu Rui'an already had energy weapon technology, whether it was the repulsor cannon and mini-laser emitter from Tony Stark or the energy weapon technology from the Kryptonian battle cruiser, which were all quite good.

However, the advantage of this energy weapon lies in its miniaturization and compatibility with the technology of the hydroelectric platforms, fuel cells, and even the towers.

"Feels pretty good." After finding a place to thoroughly test the energy rifle and energy pistol, Liu Rui'an couldn't help but praise them.

Although he had long since transcended the need to use weapons in combat, as a true man, his fondness for weapons remained.

Unfortunately, the power of these two weapons was too weak in Liu Rui'an's eyes, not even as powerful as the electromagnetic railguns on the Punisher-class frigate.

After enjoying the energy rifle and energy pistol, Liu Rui'an, who knew he still had to stay in this almost destroyed world for about twenty more days, was clear that he could only act as a "courier" and wouldn't be much help otherwise.

After confirming that the relevant work was proceeding smoothly under Starling's control and spending two days touring the Earth of this world, Liu Rui'an set off on a journey to Mercury with the Punisher-class frigate.

Liu Rui'an's positioning of the "Oblivion" world was simple.

Despite the world being almost completely destroyed by the alien AI, from a value perspective, it was actually higher than the previous dimensions he had crossed over to.

The reason was that this world was almost destroyed, and the number of human survivors was pitifully small, making it more valuable to Liu Rui'an.

In the previous worlds, although he had made arrangements similar to "branch bases," completely controlling them was still not easy, even with his current strength.

However, "Oblivion" was different. Although the place was in poor condition, it had the advantage of having almost no people left.

By relocating the survivors to other dimensions, Liu Rui'an could completely control this world's Earth.

Even though rebuilding the Earth would require a lot of effort and time, it would be like reformatting a USB drive or rebuilding an old building; he could plan it as he wished.

Even the moon, which had been destroyed by the alien AI, was not without value. The moon itself has considerable mineral resources.

For example, the astronauts discovered a new substance, helium-3, in the moon rock samples they collected.

This substance can participate in nuclear fusion reactions with deuterium, releasing a large amount of energy.

Although it is not as common as seawater, it has an astonishing reserve.

Since the moon had already been destroyed by the alien AI, there was no need to consider the negative impact on the moon when mining.

Of course, Liu Rui'an didn't plan to mine the entire moon.

The part of the moon that remained relatively intact could be used to build a true "Moon Palace" after some planning.

However, these matters were not Liu Rui'an's concern. With Starling in control of the overall situation and the two bases that had already taken shape, all planning was just a matter of time.

As for the survivors still on Earth, whether they were ignorant clones or those struggling for survival under the drones' guns, Liu Rui'an, though not cold-blooded enough to use them all as experimental subjects, couldn't spend too much time on them.

Whether they were clones or real survivors, once discovered, they would all be "invited" to the base for resettlement.

When the time came, Liu Rui'an would take them back to Earth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Of course, Liu Rui'an didn't plan to leave these potential informants in his world but would find an opportunity to send them to suitable dimensions.

Specifically, which dimension they would be sent to would depend on their cooperation.

If they cooperated, they could be sent to relatively safe dimensions like "Never Let Me Go," "Lucy," or "Tron: Legacy."

If they didn't cooperate, well... they would be directly thrown into "Resident Evil" to fend for themselves.
