Chapter 437: The Command Ship Can Finally Move_1

Analysis of the debris at the site of the little black room indicates that the enemy's industrial level is clearly not much different from that of humanity.

The little black room could have been a scout robot or a search robot, but it was definitely something the enemy left behind to monitor this White Planet.

Betrand breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully the little black room was discovered in time and forced to self-destruct, or else the enemy would have definitely found our tracks."

Jiang Yu, however, was not so optimistic, "Can anyone be sure that there is only one little black room? Perhaps our movements have been exposed long ago."

Recently, with Hao Ying's movements causing such a stir, and humanity currently lacking the capability to manufacture surveillance satellites on this White Planet, it is impossible to globally monitor, let alone determine the number and location of other little black rooms.

Everyone was somewhat worried, and the conference room fell silent as a result.

Having thought it over, Jiang Yu then commanded, "Assume the worst-case scenario and deal with it, Cao Yang will take people to search for a new hiding place and any possible other little black rooms tomorrow!"

"Betrand is responsible for contacting the Solar System, and keeping a close watch on the movements of the enemy fleet."

Jiang Yu saw the gloomy faces of those in attendance and raised his voice, "Cheer up everyone! Before the appearance of the little black room, the Silicon Star People were our enemies.

"After the appearance of the little black room, the Silicon Star People are still our enemies!

"We shall not change our stance because of the appearance of this little gadget!

"We've come through great trials and tribulations, are we really going to be scared by a few scout robots?"

The crowd snapped back to reality, right, they had survived under the threat of the enemy's powerful fleet, what big waves could a tiny little black room stir up?

Jiang Yu then said to Hao Ying and Xing Yuanbin, "Continue with your work, if the enemy turns back, we will have plenty of time to hide."

He let out a long breath, somewhat tiredly saying, "Additionally, all officers and soldiers on the command ship be ready to abandon ship at any moment."

This truly was a measure of last resort. If the Silicon Star People received the information from the little black room and made a surprise comeback, the command ship would be nothing but a sitting duck, and this time there's almost no way to deceive the enemy again.

Then Jiang Yu also addressed Jonathan from the power group, "Before I issue the order to abandon ship, the power group must do everything possible to repair the nuclear engine.

"That will be all, meeting adjourned!"

What followed was an unsettling wait—the nightmarish enemy could return at any time.

The soldiers on the command ship suffered from insomnia to varying degrees and became much more irritable, leading to numerous instances of arguments and fights.

Aboard the civilian ships, the common people who heard this news lived in constant trepidation, many crowded in the captain's room waiting for news, but they didn't even know what news they were waiting for.

Jiang Yu was truly fed up with these days of waiting for the enemy's judgment; he swore that he would never again find himself in such a passive position!

Fortunately, the backbone of the crew like Cao Yang and Hao Ying held strong, preventing major chaos.

So, with hearts in their throats, half a month passed. Logically, the enemy should have already received the information sent by the little black room and had ample time to respond.

However, based on intelligence gathered by the Solar System on the enemy fleet's movements, not a single warship of the enemy had turned back.

Jiang Yu then announced to everyone, "The enemies won't come back! They are intent on broadcasting to the universe after leaving the New Continent Star System far behind.

"This is our last chance! We must be capable of interstellar travel before the Dark Forest Strike arrives!"

Actually, no one dares say whether the enemy will return, but if they do, it will take at least over a month. As Jiang Yu said before, they have plenty of time to hide.

If they continue to panic, it will definitely affect the efficiency of construction, so Jiang Yu simply made such a determination!

In the following week and a half, two pieces of good news diluted everyone's anxiety.

The first good news was that Cao Yang had found a new hiding place, a huge cave on land, even more concealed than their current location.

Moreover, Cao Yang didn't find a second Stealth Module; hopefully, there was only that one.

The second good news came from the power group. Group leader Jonathan, who had sulked for months, finally showed a hint of a smile.

With the parts from the civilian ships, there was tremendous progress in repairing the power system of the Command Ship, and the nuclear engine could finally operate at low power.

In such a state, the Command Ship could only perform low-altitude flights and could not enter space, but for Jiang Yu, this was already enough.

A few days later, with a huge and abnormal roar, the nuclear engine of the Command Ship was restarted.

The officers and soldiers on the Command Ship boiled with excitement. The warship could fly again; they no longer had to be trapped in this ice cave, nor did they have to abandon the ship.

After these special few months, the officers and soldiers developed special feelings for the Command Ship. If they truly had to abandon it, most of them would be very reluctant.

After more than two months, the temperature on the Command Ship finally rose to around ten degrees Celsius, and nobody was woken up from sleep by the cold anymore.

With sufficient energy, the mechanical arms on the outside of the Command Ship now had enough power to reconnect the various parts that had been detached.

After all this, the Command Ship flew to the surface to rendezvous with the civilian ships and headed together to the island where the base was being built.

Meanwhile, the enemy still hadn't sent any ships back. It could now be confirmed that the enemy indeed had no intention of returning.

Even Jiang Yu, who never believed in fate, felt his luck was unusually good. If the enemy had returned at that moment, Jiang Yu and the others would have had no choice but to hide and continue to be at the mercy of others.

However, this also indicated the enemy's determination to broadcast in space. Once they reached a safe distance, they would surely begin a broadcast in space, using the Dark Forest Strike to destroy the New Continent Star System.

Jiang Yu straightforwardly asked Cao Yang to also help Hao Ying, gathering all their forces to develop industrial capabilities as quickly as possible.

After more than a day of travel, the Command Ship and most of the civilian ships finally reached the island of the construction base.

Stepping onto the island with blue soil, Jiang Yu immediately used the name of The East's snow goddess to christen the White Planet.

From then on, this planet was known as Blue Maiden Star.

The island where the base was being built came to be known as Base Island.

Most of Base Island's surface was also covered in snow and ice.

In a world where everything was a snowy plain, Base Island was different, consisting of several white mountains that formed a simple mountain range.

This "unexpected protrusion" stood out strikingly against the white wasteland.

Xing Yuanbin detected a large quantity of metallic minerals here, and there was also a sizeable plain suitable for building a space farm and residential area.

But still, it was all a vast expanse of white, utterly lifeless, as if constantly reminding people of the harsh winter of Blue Maiden Star.
