Chapter 185: Robot Kingdom [Part 1]
This time, their destination was the core planet of Sector G District F, planet G-F100. Its size was moderate, and although it was appointed as the core planet of District F, in reality its planetary habitability didn’t reach Rank A. It was a rank B planet that had poorer conditions.
The owner of planet G-F100 was called Robert Frentz. He was also the person who negotiated the contract with Falvey.
Speaking of the Robert Family; the GAL famous robot family, they actually did not number over a hundred people. They could be said to be the unconventionals of the unconventionals among all the other reputable families in GAL.
Unlike the other families, the Robert Family did not have human servants, bodyguards and so on. Instead, they were replaced with extremely realistic robots who looked so lifelike that many people could not differentiate whether the Robert Family’s robots were real or fake humans even if they were to stand right in front of them. These robots could even fool some scanner as well.
In the past, the Third B Squadron and Sixth B Squadron had only learned about the Robert Family’s robots through the reports in electronic publications. However, what they’d seen today with their own eyes obviously stunned them to a greater degree.
The stars.h.i.+ps parked at the s.p.a.ce station outside the planet, and only a large majority of combat personnel and small minority of logistics personnel were going to set foot on planet G-F100. Shawton had only brought three teams with him, and Cillin’s team was one of them. As compared to Falvey’s disposition of forces, Shawton’s side was a lot more low-key. After all, they were only accompanying the Third Squadron, so they couldn’t possibly grab the limelight for themselves.
After descending from the s.p.a.ceplane, Cillin cast a glance at a flock of birds flying by in the sky.
“These are all robo-birds.” the gray cat didn’t look conflicted just because these birds weren’t carbon lifeforms. In fact, it looked rather happy at the discovery. As a rare specie in the universe, its diet was incredibly diverse. Naturally, it could consume carbon birds, but it could consume robo-birds just the same. It’s not bad to eat something different for a change after all.
“Moderate yourself. The observers would notice if any one of these robo-birds go missing. It’ll be hard to explain things if their disappearances were traced back to you.” Cillin stretched out a finger and poked the gray cat’s head.
“I know, I’m just saying. I’ll pretend that I don’t understand what those robots are talking about.” the gray cat licked its paw, looked up and inhaled deeply, “What a familiar smell.” It was the smell of machines.
The planet’s layout looked almost the same as a rank A planet’s. In fact, it looked prettier than a rank A planet. After all, a robot would not generate as much daily garbage.
There were some people who were raising sheeps on a wide gra.s.sland. The gra.s.s was real gra.s.s, and the goats were real goats, but the same could not be said about the humans raising them. Perhaps they were all robots, but looked almost identical to normal people.
Falvey led the group over a stretch of road on the gra.s.sland before stopping to say, “It should be here; to the left side of the planet.”
Gra.s.slands filled the left and right side of the group. They were s.p.a.cious and empty, and the shepherds from earlier were all gone. They had not encountered anyone else along the way.
“This is the place we’ve agreed upon, so there should be no mistake. Let’s wait.” Shawton said to the Sixth B Squadron members walking towards him.
Since both the commanders had given their word, naturally no one would refute them. They waited obediently at the spot.
Scarlet Wind was obviously excited to see the gra.s.sland. The planet he was on earlier did not have such beautiful gra.s.sland.
A lot of animals liked gra.s.slands. s...o...b..ll and the gray cat were already rolling on the gra.s.slands. Tico’s little rabbit had also been set loose to feed on the gra.s.s. Dough’s body color was identical to the gra.s.sland’s, so it was impossible to see where it was unless one was paying attention.
“Actually, the reason this planet was categorised as rank B was because it had too little resources. However, this planet’s conditions slowly changed under Robert Frentz and his robot kingdom’s influence. After all, there were very, very few people who needed to eat on this planet. Most of the ‘people’ here only needed to absorb solar energy to function.” Shawton explained to the group.
“This was what made the Robert Family astounding. The robot kingdom is still the robot kingdom beneath this gra.s.sland.” Eudy said while looking at the scanner’s panel.
“After this planet was reformed, it became Robert Frentz’s kingdom, whereas Robert Frentz himself was the king of this planet.”
While listening to Shawton and Beaver’s words, Cillin also noticed the activity beneath the gra.s.sland.
The activity underground wasn’t big. In fact, it was almost indistinguishable above the gra.s.sland. However, the reason this gra.s.sland was able to grow so lushly wasn’t only because of the light s.h.i.+elds. The ground itself was infertile, and the nutrients and elements necessary for the growth of all kinds of plants were lacking. That was why the machines beneath the ground had pumped nutrients and elements into this land.
Soil reform from underground was a lot more environmentally friendly than spraying the nutrients and elements directly on the surface, and the utilisation rate would improve by a lot too. This method was also closer to the Robert Family’s ‘realism’ standards, and it looked more natural on the surface.
However, what was reformed was reformed. No matter how lifelike they appeared, they were still reformed. Once the reformation process was stopped, everything would return to what it once was. The Robert Family was a group of people who enjoyed living in their own worlds.
The group didn’t wait for too long when a flying car flew over from afar. It made a beautiful turn once it approached the group, stopped in the air before them and slowly descended to the ground.
A person walked out from inside the car. He looked very fit, and he wore a warm smile on his face. After roughly sweeping a glance across the people on the gra.s.sland, he walked directly towards Falvey.
“Mr. Falvey, I apologize to have kept you and your men waiting for so long. My boss was held up with something, and he could not to clear up the time to come personally. Please accept our apologies.” the person said clearly and walked before Falvey. After saluting in the manner of an aristocrat, he said, “My name is Carl. My boss has ordered to welcome you.”
“Mr. Carl, I am very happy to see you. We have not waited for long either.”
Falvey did not reveal much emotion on his face, and the ‘happiness’ he spoke of did not show at all. Of course, this did not mean that he was angry. Falvey’s expressions were just scarce to begin with.
