Truth be told, Hao Ren had the ability to make life easier for the Zorm people on this planet. While he could not really solve all the living needs of 1.6 billion people, at least he could urgently build more material factories and send more autonomous robots. But this was not a smart approach.
Any civilization needed to be self-reliant, especially Zorm, which had just woken up from the virtual paradise and was about to face a long period of recovery. They must learn to face the challenges of nature in the early stages. And it was not that they could not survive now. The factory system on this planet had provided enough initial supplies for the Zorm people. All they had to do was to create further living conditions with their own hands. In this case, there was no need for Hao Ren to intervene. That was the standard for an inspector to judge: appropriate help, not total confinement. For a race, as long as they were not facing extinction, challenges were not terrible. It was terrible to sit back and relax.
Hao Ren walked around the new town, and many things here were novel and interesting to him.
After the Zorm people woke up, they found that the social reconstruction plans they had set up before had fallen through. Their planet was completely destroyed, and the global communication system and political order were paralyzed. They had set up a lot of material warehouses on their home planet, but now they had to seek resources from nature. They had also thought about how to form a temporary governing council after waking up, but the council was useless in the current situation. So after a short discussion, they formed a new social order. They were now temporarily implementing a loose city-state system. Each settlement was an autonomous area, and they relied on the mind channel of Zorm, the First Born to maintain minimal contact with each other. They prioritized social reconstruction. At least at this stage of poverty, these Zorm people had no hidden danger of power struggles and wealth disputes. There were signs of unity and resource sharing everywhere in this new town. Whether it was industrial production houses or man-made huts, they were handed over to the city committee and distributed equally to every citizen in need. Everyone immediately registered their profession and skills after being born in the blood pool, regardless of their previous status, they were assigned to work. Food and clothing and other supplies were basically obtained from the ration point, so there was no distribution problem. But their management committee had also begun to discuss how to ensure fair distribution after the town could produce these supplies on its own, at least to ensure that it was distributed according to need. This was a wonderful state of communism — a fair society maintained under certain conditions for a certain period of time.
Hao Ren did not know how long this state could last, but at least at this stage, it was necessary.
But they could not stay here for too long, because soon they received a notification from CARS: the information recorded by Muru had been analyzed. CARS and the drone cluster had jointly determined a coordinate in the universe, and the signal of the other guardian should be coming from that place. Now that the navigation star map had been sent to the MDT, Hao Ren felt that they should depart as soon as possible.
"We should go," Hao Ren said goodbye to Ulyanov. "I came here on the way. I'm relieved to see that you guys are doing well. I have an emergency contact channel in Zorm and Muru. I'll deal with it if there's a problem. "
"I hope this channel will never be used," Ulyanov said sincerely. Then his eyes fell on the holographic projection in the air next to him. Strictly speaking, it was Nolan. "Are you coming with us?"
"Of course," Nolan nodded matter-of-factly. "What else?"
Ulyanov curled his finger and touched his nose. Finally, he could not help but ask the question that he had been wanting to ask before. "So you are now with Hao Ren? I remember that my last dream was with you. I thought you would be 'born' around here … By the way, where are you now? "
He did not know the real situation of Nolan. He thought that the latter had returned to the real world through the blood pool like other humans.
The expression on Nolan's face was a little awkward for a moment, but it quickly turned into relief. She smiled and waved at Ulyanov. "I've changed my job. If there's a chance, we might meet again in the future. You'll be surprised to see my real body."
Ulyanov did not think much of it. He nodded happily and left. He still had a lot of things to do: he had to complete the 'learning' task of the Social Adaptation Department in a few days, and then learn how to use the resources and tools of this world from several 'masters' who had been awake for a long time. Next, he planned to help the town build a hydraulic machine, or become a construction worker … In this place where everything was waiting to be done, no one was idle.
The others had returned to CARS. Muru had returned earlier than them and had been waiting in the central control hall for a long time.
As soon as Hao Ren appeared, he asked the mainframe of the space station, "Have you finished analyzing the coordinates? How far is it from here? Is there any response from the other party? "
The mainframe of the space station replied in an emotionless voice, "The signal source is 12.6 billion light-years away from the local area. There is an unknown spatial phenomenon. The target is not responding. "
Hao Ren patted the MDT and said, "Go get the spaceship ready. Let's go and see what's going on."
At this time, Muru suddenly said, "I'll go with you."
Hao Ren did not think much and nodded. But Y 'zaks quickly reminded him, "You can go with us, but your size … Our spaceship is the standard version."
As the tallest man among Hao Ren's tenants, Y 'zaks was very sensitive to height. He had basically bumped his head against every door frame in the house. Of course, the first thing that came to his mind was Muru's size.
Muru thought it was a problem. Although the Petrachelys was very spacious due to the installation of the space expansion module, it was not prepared for a ten-meter-tall giant. Once Muru went in, he could not go anywhere but the garage.
Muru was very open-minded. "It's okay. I can squat."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He really did not know what else to say, so he just nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. You can stay in the garage. When I have time, I'll fix your spaceship. It'll be more convenient for you to work. "
Lily poked Hao Ren's arm and said, "His spaceship was blown up by you and only the cockpit is left. How are you going to fix it?"
Hao Ren thought about it and agreed. It was reasonable for others to say that the wheel was broken and change the tire, but he only had one tire left … So, he had to change the spaceship.
"We'll talk about it later." Hao Ren forced a smile and brushed off the topic. He turned around and prepared to board the spaceship with everyone.
Soon, the Petrachelys left CARS and flew toward the vast space where the signal came from.
More than ten billion light-years was not a problem for the spaceship. In hyperspace, it only took an hour or so. While the spaceship was sailing, Hao Ren called up the navigation map to compare the information of the destination. Then he found that the direction of the spaceship overlapped with the direction of the drone cluster.
On the star map, the activity range of the drone cluster was marked in a striking blue, and his destination was at the border of the blue range.
"Huh?" Hao Ren was puzzled. "This place is in the drone's cruising range? Didn't you notice it before? "
"That's the strange part." The MDT also noticed it. "The drone cluster extended their detection range to that location a week ago, but they didn't find anything at that time. There was not even any celestial body there. But now, the nearest drone has gone there to confirm that there is indeed a celestial system there. "
"Popped out of nowhere?" Hao Ren blinked. "Not sure when it popped out?"
"The drone cluster does not monitor the border area 24 hours a day. Because there are not enough drones in the border area, they patrol there once every three days. When the drone nest in the rear produces enough drones, they build a 'regular patrol area' and continue to expand outward. This is a phased approach," the MDT first explained how the drone cluster advanced in the border area. "So they can't find the celestial body that suddenly appeared at the border in time. It's impossible for a celestial system to suddenly appear out of nowhere!"
Hao Ren scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Well, that is to say, we can't be sure when the Solenne Gateway appeared, but at least we can be sure that it appeared out of nowhere in the last three days."
