“When I’m out working, I have internet access and I always download a lot of things,” Scarface said, not forgetting his job. “I have a lot of the latest movies here; I can send them to you if you need them.”
Ruan Mingchu nodded casually. "Have you considered connecting this place to the internet?"
“Of course,” Scarface said. “On the first day we arrived, some people wanted to connect to the internet, but the radiation here is so bad that the signal can’t get through at all.”
Moreover, it is precisely because there is no signal here that they have been able to stay here peacefully for so many years; otherwise, simply providing tribute to the space patrol team would not suffice.
Ruan Mingchu asked, "What about the intranet?"
It should be relatively simple to build a network suitable for planet G1 without connecting to the outside world.
Scarface choked up and said honestly, "I've never thought about it in that direction, and we don't have any talent in that area here."
Ruan Mingchu: ...
Indeed, one cannot place too much hope in these reckless brutes who only know how to fight and kill.
"Give the order that everyone who thinks they know a bit about internet technology should be in the main conference room by 2:30 this afternoon."
Scarface replied crisply, "Okay!"
After Scarface left, Ruan Mingchu got up to find Mu Yu and Jin Baobei. Mu Yu selected two hundred elites for individual training, while Jin Baobei, for some reason, followed Mu Yu every day.
Mu Yu and his group were in a small area outside the accommodation area.
When Nguyen Minh first arrived, everyone applauded and cheered.
Upon closer inspection, Mu Yu was aware of their close-quarters combat, easily taking on ten opponents single-handedly.
Ruan Mingchu stood quietly to the side, watching. This was the person he liked, exceptionally outstanding and dazzling.
As soon as Ruan Mingchu arrived, Mu Yu saw him and quickly ended the instruction session, walking briskly towards Ruan Mingchu.
It's the kind of person who doesn't seem to be in a big hurry or in a rush, but their speed is actually quite fast.
"Why did you come here?" Mu Yu asked.
As Ruan Mingchu reached out to tidy up the stray hairs on his forehead, she replied, "I came to see you and also to ask Jin Baobei something."
Mu Yu understood that the priorities should be reversed, but he was still very happy that Ruan Mingchu said that.
“Your hair is covering your eyes, it needs to be cut,” Ruan Mingchu said.
Mu Yu looked up at Ruan Mingchu and blurted out, "You'll cut my hair?"
“Okay,” Ruan Mingchu made a peace sign, “but I have to practice first, otherwise it would be my fault if I cut your head into pieces.”
Mu Yu hummed in agreement; he always used this one word to express all his thoughts.
Ruan Mingchu pondered for a moment. How should he put it that Mu Yu had expressed his true thoughts?
Jinbaobei also heard Ruan Mingchu say that he was coming to ask him something, so she was all prepared and waiting for him to come and ask. But he just sat there chatting with Mu Yu for ages.
That's outrageous!
"Cough cough!" Jinbaobei coughed twice loudly to make her presence known.
Instead of attracting Ruan Mingchu's attention, Tu Aotian rolled over, and Jin Baobei quickly shut up and stroked his fur.
Mu Yu ended the chat first: "There's still some stuff to say, I'll go now."
Ruan Mingchu: "Go."
Mu Yu walked over slowly.
They come as fast as they come, and leave as slowly as they come.
Ruan Mingchu walked towards Gymboree, but before he could even speak, he received a cold snort.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "What are you humming about?"
Gymboree rolled her eyes and remained silent.
“Alright,” Ruan Mingchu squatted down to be at the same level as Jinbaobei, “How much do you know about intelligent networks?”
Gymboree: "I've dabbled in most things, but I can't say I'm an expert."
He's just being modest, waiting for Ruan Mingchu to flatter him so he can show off his absolute strength.
After Ruan Mingchu said "Oh", he said, "It's okay, just knowing is enough, you don't need to be an expert."
Gymboree: I'm so angry!
Despite her anger, when Ruan Mingchu invited Jin Baobei to teach classes for the future technical staff, Jin Baobei reluctantly agreed out of consideration for Tu Aotian and Men Hao.
Actually, when Jinbaobei saw Mu Yu teaching others to fight and being praised by them, he was envious. How could someone as good as him not be praised?
At 2:30 p.m., when Ruan Mingchu and Jin Baobei arrived at the conference room, there were already nine people sitting inside.
Out of tens of thousands of people, only nine had some technical knowledge, which shows how low the cultural level of space pirates was.
In fact, talent in this area is scarce throughout the empire. Everyone is pursuing individual combat ability, and only those who are really not good at combat will turn to other things.
Despite the large number of researchers, their proportion of the total population is actually only 0.0001%, or nine zeros.
After exchanging a few words with them, Ruan Mingchu handed over the main event to Gymboree.
"Good luck. I'll pick you up at 5:30. As for what to teach them and how to teach them, that's up to you. I'm just setting up an intranet."
Gymboree gestured for him to leave.
After Ruan Mingchu left, Jin Baobei sat in her specially elevated seat and glanced at the nine people present.
They all seemed quite unconvinced by him. Jinbaobei smiled slightly, thinking, "That's what makes it interesting."
They look down on him now, but they'll praise him to the skies later.
While envisioning the future, Gymboree began checking their skill levels.
The slow pace of data processing led to thoughts of the internet, and the internet led to thoughts of space pirates' defenses.
Ruan Mingchu summoned the former leaders of the Star Pirate Gang and asked them how they usually defended themselves.
Scarface was the first to speak up: "There are patrol teams on duty every day, so we definitely won't wait until someone comes to our doorstep to find out."
He spoke first, and others also actively participated.
Most of the time, they send out patrol teams to patrol, and at most they set up some traps outside the base. Cameras that don't connect to the internet are only used occasionally.
Ruan Mingchu asked, "If a warship were to loiter near G1 with ill intentions, is there any way to detect it?"
Scarface said that such a thing usually doesn't happen.
The next second, the earth shook violently.
Everyone crowded to the window to look out, and a mushroom cloud rose up in the distance.
The C2 space missile features a distinctive mushroom cloud with a thin handle and a large umbrella-shaped spray pattern.
Scarface: The slap in the face came so fast that I was caught off guard.
Ruan Mingchu straightened the corners of his lips.
Scarface quickly tried to salvage the situation: "Our warships are right below, let's go and kill him now!"
Ruan Mingchu nodded.
This warship is not the one from Liu Huo, but a new warship that another regiment just bought, which reportedly cost half of the regiment's savings of more than ten years.
As soon as they left G1, the warship's network function was automatically restored, and Scarface had someone send a message to the other side to inquire about the situation.
If he couldn't afford to offend her, he would have to advise Ruan Mingchu to swallow his anger, for as long as he was alive, he could always find a way to fight another day.
Why did he say before that no one would usually attack G1? It's because G1 is the worst and most trashy star, and normally no one would bother with it.
The other end granted their call request.
Good heavens, the patrol team has come to collect the offerings.
There had never been a case of firing cannons like this before. After talking to them, Scarface learned that it was just because the warship had just been equipped with C2 shells and they were itching to try them out.
Who wouldn't be angry after hearing that?
Especially for the space pirate groups whose original base was near that location, if they were still there, they might not even be able to save their lives!
Scarface was also very angry, but they were no match for the police and dared not confront the patrol team head-on.
Just as he was about to tell them to wait a moment, as the offerings still needed to be delivered, Scarface heard his newly recognized elder brother casually say, "Leave them here."
Scarface was on the verge of tears: "It's easy to keep them here, but we can't afford to mess with the people behind them."
Ruan Mingchu's face was ashen, and the aura he exuded startled Scarface.
"There's nothing you can't afford to offend, or do you intend to disobey?"
Even if the forces behind the patrol team come looking for him, that's a matter for the future. If he admits he wants to disobey, he'll lose his life right now. Scarface hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I'll have someone attack right away."
Since he'd already thoroughly offended them anyway, he might as well have some fun now. Having been oppressed by the patrol team for over a decade, Scarface had never considered fighting back. His seniors had all told him that he couldn't possibly go against the government; he couldn't win.
The patrol team clearly hadn't expected these scoundrels to dare to resist. They were completely unprepared, and the warships they brought were no match for them either. Before long, they were all captured.
The captain threatened, "You all just wait, I'll grind you to dust, or I'm not a Li!"
Ruan Mingchu smiled and said, "I'll be waiting."
"Throw them into the dungeon."
The dungeons of space pirates are no fun places.
Ruan Mingchu returned to G1 Star and was annoyed by the patrol team that was eating public food but doing nothing. He decided to have dinner with Mu Yu to calm down a bit.
Gymboree excitedly rushed into the office, clutching the LCD screen: "I'm connected to the internet! I'm so amazing, praise me, praise me!"
Since discovering that they don't get compliments unless they say it directly, Gymboree has become much more direct in everything they do.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, who were having lunch, put down their chopsticks and, to give face, showered Jinbaobei with compliments.
Gymboree placed the screen on the table and used a small box to test the signal. "Although I'm not sure which network it's connected to, we've made significant progress."
He particularly emphasized the word "significant".
The screen crackled a few times before an image appeared.
"Huh?" Jinbaobei asked in confusion, "Why do so many of the people here look like you?"
Even Ruan Mingchu himself felt that the person on the screen looked exactly like him, and the white and gold military uniform was also the style he liked to wear on important occasions.
Soon the sound came from the screen.
