LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 800-809
Chapter 800: Changes!
But now, it did not seem to be far from the truth. They had found a launch site, so was the hypothesis really that hard to accept?
The question remained, what were they doing in space‽
“Let’s move, I need to get to the observatory to see what is happening up there,” Xinghe said suddenly.
Mubai supported this crazy idea of hers. “Okay, let us go now.”
Ee Chen was shocked. “Do you two really think there are people up there?”
“There have to be,” Xinghe said confidently. The plot was going down that path and no one was going to stop it, but…
“Are these energy crystals really enough to send people into space?” Ee Chen asked with open disbelief.
“We will know after we go and find out.” Xinghe opened the door and strode out. She did not like to waste time talking; she was a woman of action. Mubai helped her contact Chui Qian. He briefed him on their idea, and although Chui Qian was shocked, he chose to support them. Perhaps, they might be able to find something.
Furthermore, Chui Qian thought of something. He told Xinghe, a few decades ago, the He Lan family gave birth to a genius; it was he who helped with the satellite design and allowed Country R to send its first satellite into space. That individual had been doing research at the launch base ever since, but after a while, he disappeared without warning. Rumors said that he died.
Chui Qian was certain that this person had plenty to do with the He Lan family’s conspiracy. Therefore, perhaps, they had really done something in space.
After Xinghe heard Chui Qian, she had a sinking feeling in her stomach. She rushed to the observatory. The people at the observatory had been notified of their arrival and immediately led them to space observatory when they arrived.
“We have been observing the space for so many years but there has been nothing out of place. The curiosities we have recorded are all natural. Therefore, if there were any issues, we would have discovered it,” the manager at the observatory told Xinghe’s group. Xinghe looked at the beautiful night sky on screen and did not reply.
Mubai asked the manager, “Have there been no weird occurrences over the past few decades?”
“There should be none, at least there have been none in the ten years that I have worked here.”
“Then how many satellites Country R has launched over the years?” Mubai asked.
“There should be almost a hundred already.”
“Did you keep track of each of them during launch?”
“Yes, but we stopped tracking them after they entered orbit. As you know, there are too many satellites in the sky, it would be hard for us to keep track of all of them.”
“What about the He Lan family’s own satellites? Do you keep an occasional eye on them too?”
“Yes, and there has been nothing weird about them…”
Mubai continued the series of questions but he found nothing. Xinghe and Ee Chen studied the night sky diligently and found nothing as well. Did this mean there was nothing suspicious about the launch site as well?
Impossible because the He Lan family was definitely up to something. Therefore, their satellites must be problematic as well, only they could not figure out what. Just as they were at a loss, Xinghe suddenly realized there were changes with the satellites in space!
Chapter 801: My Name Is He Lan Yuan
About ten manmade satellites were slowly moving to get close to each other, they moved to form a straight line. This change was so curious that other people noted it as well!
Everyone stared at these curious satellites and they were filled with surprise and suspicion.
“What is going on?” Ee Chen asked. The rest of them shook their heads, signifying their confusion.
The observatory’s manager was equally shocked. “What are these satellites doing?”
Satellite movement was a common occurrence, but they were never in such a large scale and with such uniformity. About ten satellites were arranging in a straight line; something was definitely going on.
Mubai narrowed his eyes and said, “Someone is manipulating these satellites.”
“Could it be that person…” Ee Chen said with equal measure suspicion and surprise. He did not specify the identity, but everyone knew who he was talking about. Sam frowned and said, “It has to be him!”
“Is he finally making a move?” Ali asked anxiously. Her question spread anxiety into everyone’s heart. Ever since He Lan Long said the end of the world was coming, they had been worried. A few days of peace calmed them down but now this curious change signified to them that the end of the world was possibly coming after all.
However, what did that have to do with moving the satellites?
Xinghe’s group could not understand why their opponent was doing this. They could only stare closely at the satellites on screen, waiting to see what happened next. However, after the satellites got into a straight line, nothing else happened.
While they were convening on what to do next, all the TV stations over the world were taken over by a similar signal. All the television screens changed into one identical video. It even took over the giant advertisement billboards, small mobile phones, and laptops. They were showing one identical video…
Everyone over the world who was using the internet or close to a device connected to the internet witnessed this sudden change. No one could react fast enough to this sudden change.
In fact, the first reaction for most was to be attracted to this inhumanely handsome man in a sharp suit that appeared on screen. His looks were so ethereal that they could literally take one’s breath away.
Then, this man smiled graciously and opened his lips to say some really crazy words. His announcement was like a hydrogen bomb that rocked the peaceful human world!
“Ladies and gentlemen, nice to meet you.”
His seductive and magnetic voice began. There was auto translation suited for the video that was broadcasted in different regions of the world. When he started speaking, the people in front of the television stopped their work and stared at him with their jaws open. Even the pedestrians walking on the street stopped in their tracks and raised their heads to watch the billboards.
As if anticipating everyone’s reaction, the man in the video provided a slight smile and continued, “You must be surprised to see me so suddenly, but do not be afraid because I will rule over all of you soon enough. That’s right, you did not hear wrong, I said rule. Now, let me make a simple introduction of myself, my name is He Lan Yuan and I am a scientist. I was the one responsible for designing Country R’s first satellite, and I created many things after that, but I believe none of you about heard of them. But now, I have decided to stop with my modesty and announce to the world the result of my research from the past few decades.”
Chapter 802: Space Fireworks
“So you had better be prepared because I am going to reveal what I have been doing to the world for the past decades.”
On the screen, He Lan Yuan first clapped his hands with a gentleman’s grace. On the giant screen behind him showed the images of the satellites in space. The most conspicuous were the ten satellites that had aligned themselves into a line.
“Do you all see this? These satellites are just part of my invention. I am using these satellites to converse with all of you. However, in ten minutes’ time, all of these satellites will explode, consider it my first gift to all of you. Of course, this is not the only thing I have done. My greatest creation was to spread about five hundred satellites around Earth’s ozone layer. Yes, your ears are not deceiving you, there are about five hundred of them.
“These satellites are not only capable of sending signals, they also contain great explosive power. Each satellite can release energy equivalent to one atomic bomb. Are you shocked hearing this? Are you thinking ‘Is that man planning to destroy the world?'”
He Lan Yuan smiled and continued with ease like he was talking about the weather, “If you are thinking that, then congratulations because you are absolutely right. When these satellites lower themselves to Earth and explode, the world probably will end. However, do not be afraid because if you are willing to swear your loyalty to me and serve me, the world will still be the same.
“Understand that I am a man of great compassion. I will give you all one month to think this over. In one month’s time, I will be back to hear your decision. Remember, all of you only have one month to decide. Resistance is futile because, let me remind you, I can see everything from space. Alright, that is all for today. Next, please enjoy these fireworks in space that I have prepared for you.”
The screen changed to focus on the satellites. Of the ten satellites that had arranged in a line, one of them suddenly started to hurtle towards Earth!
Its speed was incredibly fast, like a meteor flying through space. Everyone was watching the satellite in awe and shock as it exploded in space—
The sparks from the explosion were blinding and the drastically falling satellite was like a shooting star, dragging its flame across the sky. It was beautiful yet creepy.
Thankfully, the flames were extinguished before it reached the ozone layer, but in that time, everyone over the world watching this was so shocked that they forgot to breath. They assumed this satellite’s explosion was going to be as big as an atomic bomb. Thankfully, that was not the case…
However, the nerves of the whole world were strung taut again the next second because the second satellite started falling. Different from the first one, this satellite exploded much earlier and the explosion was much bigger.
Thankfully, it was far from Earth, so the damage was not big. However, these two explosions told everyone one thing, He Lan Yuan had the ability to control the time of explosion, and the magnitude of explosion for each satellite was different.
It was not out of this world to believe one of them could rival the destructive power of an atomic bomb. The explosion of the next satellite confirmed that.
Chapter 803: The End of the World
The explosions of the next few satellites were all of differing magnitudes, but every one of them showcased He Lan Yuan’s seriousness and scariness!
Every time a satellite exploded, everyone’s heart would skip a beat. However, there was a comforting thought in everyone’s mind. Many people presumed the satellites could not get into Earth completely unscathed. This was because Earth was protected by a layer of ozone. The satellite would create friction in space, and when it entered the atmosphere, the high heat would cause the satellite to explode. When it reached Earth’s sky, the flames would have been put out. Therefore, it was impossible for the satellites to explode after it entered the Earth’s atmosphere!
However, when the last satellite hurtled towards Earth and did not combust as it fell through the ozone layer as many assumed it would, the entire world fell silent!
No one dared to think He Lan Yuan was kidding. He could really make the satellites explode after they entered Earth’s atmosphere. The material he used to create the satellite could withstand the heat from re-entry as the satellite fell through the ozone layer!
As the space fireworks drew to a close, the whole world was in a riot, no, pandemonium!
People were wailing openly, fearful of the end of the world. Some were cheering because this gave them the opportunity to unleash their inner demons. There was nothing holding them back anymore.
Many took up arms to fight He Lan Yuan to the bitter end for the sake of their country and home!
Some even committed suicide instead of waiting for the end of the world to come…
However, the majority indulged in their desires, desires that was put on the backburner due to the reason called life. Those that maintained their calm were few and far in between. Xinghe’s group was one of them.
When they saw the space fireworks that He Lan Yuan prepared, they were shocked. They did not realize the threat was so big. He Lan Yuan’s actions and threat were way bigger than they had expected. How could such a mad person even exist in the world?
“Xinghe, what are we to do now?” The normally fearless SamWolf also started to have hints of fear in their voices. Of course, they subconsciously turned to Xinghe for help. Xinghe was also at a loss and she turned to Mubai for guidance. The latter said slowly, “Let’s get to the president’s house for now and find out more about He Lan Yuan.”
“You are right, let’s go now!” Xinghe finally recovered from her shock. At that time, they needed to find out everything they could on He Lan Yuan; maybe they could understand the reason for his misanthropy from his history.
Coincidentally, Chui Qian wanted to see them. He Bin also left He Lan Villa at first notice and rushed towards the president’s house. He was not dumb, he prepared to leave when the stations were taken over. If he was one second later, he would not have been able to leave because not long after he left, many came to He Lan Villa to demand for an explanation.
It was obvious that He Lan Yuan was related to the He Lan family, so the first response of the angry mod was to swarm He Lan Villa to demand justice. However, after they barged into He Lan Villa, they only found the predisposed He Lan Chang who lay helplessly in his bed.
No one could have thought He Lan Qi had already left for the president’s house…
==============================================================================================================================================
Chapter 804: There Is Still a Chance
It took Xinghe’s group quite some time to reach president’s house. They were held back by the madness that was happening along the way. Mass fisticuffs and muggings were happening in broad daylight. Many people had lost their minds and morality; law had lost all its meaning. Before He Lan Yuan destroyed the world, humanity was going to destroy themselves first.
Thankfully, the country had sent out their best law enforcement officers to maintain safety and order. If the whole country fell into anarchy, then, the world would truly be lost.
Chui Qian knew the severity of the situation outside. The numerous phones in his office couldn’t stop ringing. He left his secretary to field the calls and rushed to meet with Xinghe’s group. When he saw them, Chui Qian demanded angrily from He Lan Qi, “What is going on now‽ What have your He Lan family been up to? Also, hadn’t that He Lan Yuan died, so who was that person in the video?”
He Bin could not give an answer, so he shrugged and said, “I have no clue.”
“How can you not know? You are probably the only person in this world that should know what is really happening!”
“He is not He Lan Qi,” Xinghe said calmly.
Chui Qian was surprised. “What did you say?”
“He is not He Lan Qi, so he cannot give you the answer you want, he really does not know anything. I will tell you everything in detail later, but now we are here because we want to ask you about He Lan Yuan.”
Chui Qian laughed bitterly. “You came to ask me?”
Xinghe nodded slightly.
Chui Qian chuckled self-deprecatingly. “I had hoped you would tell me more about He Lan Yuan and you came to ask me? All this while, I knew that the He Lan family harbored enormous intention, I thought their aim was to swallow this country, but it turns out they want to rule the whole world! If I had known this would happen, I would not have gone after them. If their experiments were allowed to continue undisturbed then this He Lan Yuan would not have appeared and the world would still be safe! If the world is going to end, it is all my fault!” He Lan Yuan’s appearance seemed to have created a lot of pressure for Chui Qian. His mental state was incredibly unstable, and his words were very much unlike his own.
Xinghe took a step forward and said, “Mr. President, I understand your anxiety, but this is not your fault, without you intervening, they would have made the whole world their enemy, if anything, you have done a good thing by drawing them out.”
“A good thing?” Chui Qian lashed out at her. “What kind of good thing is this‽”
Mubai stepped in front of Xinghe and said coldly, “Is this not better than them coming out after everything is ready?”
Chui Qian took a silent step back as what they said percolated through his mind. Xinghe continued, “It is because of the He Lan family’s downfall that He Lan Yuan was forced to show himself. He cannot allow the He Lan family to fall because he would lose his loyal servants. This is why he has to make himself known, even though I am sure their preparations have not reached their final stage. Even though we are not sure what kind of plan they are preparing for, the fact that it has not reached fruition is good news for us. At least we still have an opportunity to fight back. If he appeared after everything was set into motion, then we really would be sitting ducks.”
Chui Qian frowned and said after a long thought, “You have a point, but how exactly are we going to fight back?”
=========================================================================================================================================
Chapter 805: He Lan Family’s Genius
He Lan Yuan had prepared so completely that they had no opportunity to strike back. Five hundred satellites hung threateningly in space. If they were ordered to fall from space and explode, the world would definitely be ruined.
They had no chance to fight back because their every move was being observed by He Lan Yuan. If they did anything to anger him, they might usher in the rapture. Xinghe shook her head. “Temporarily, I do not know yet, but we still have one month to figure out a solution to deal with him.”
“That is easier said than done. Unless we can destroy all the satellites in the sky, there is nothing we can do to touch him,” Chui Qian said seriously.
“Then, we will figure out a way to destroy them,” Xinghe said with determination. Chui Qian, Mubai, and the rest were startled. It was indeed the solution that was needed but how would one go about doing it?
However, this was not Xinghe’s responsibility but the whole world’s, so she did not have to come up with the solution on her own. Chui Qian soon contacted the world leaders to have a discussion. Every country sent their representative to attend the meeting by the United Nations. The clock was ticking.
They were formed a special psychology unit to analyze He Lan Yuan’s motives. They analyzed everything about He Lan Yuan from his head to his toe. None of his details was left untouched, this included his date of birth, his age, his personality, and his look.
The conclusion was… the man who appeared on screen that day was not He Lan Yuan. According to his date of birth, He Lan Yuan was supposed to be seventy. He could not have been the young, handsome man they saw on screen.
Weirdly enough, no one knew what He Lan Yuan looked like. They could not find any pictures of him, and the ones who knew him personally were all dead. Even members of the He Lan family could not say for sure what he looked like.
According to He Lan Long, the first time they had video call with He Lan Yuan, that was how he looked like and his look had never change over the years. Therefore, they were certain that was He Lan Yuan, the He Lan family’s genius. It was because of him that the He Lan family could rise through the ranks so fast to become the richest in Country R.
They found that He Lan Yuan’s influence was observable throughout the years. The orphanage and launch site were all his ideas. All the satellites launched from that base were created by He Lan Yuan. In any case, from the way He Lan Long and his men talked about He Lan Yuan, everyone came to the same conclusion: He Lan Yuan was undeniably a genius.
Several decades ago, his super genius allowed him to create a spaceship and he alone took it and migrated into space. Then, he settled on a planet and was never to be seen in person again. His orders to the He Lan family always came through video.
To dominate the whole world, the He Lan family was willing to bend to his every will. He Lan Yuan’s personal attraction and incredible talent created a cult centered around him. Those with hatred for the human world in their heart bought into the ideals he was selling easily. They treated him as their spiritual center. They were like putty in his hands.
Furthermore, He Lan Yuan actually had the capability to ruin the whole world, so their loyalty was unblemished. As time passed, their admiration towards him deified him in their mind and he became a God-like figure in their cultish religion.
The admiring, bordering on worshiping, undertone when they talked about He Lan Yuan could not be missed.
Chapter 806: Busy World
He Lan Yuan was like their God, an incomparable God. If He Lan Yuan demanded them to give up their lives as sacrifice, they would probably follow obediently. Xinghe’s group felt chilled witnessing the blind faith He Lan Long and his people had in He Lan Yuan. It was not a good thing to realize He Lan Yuan had such charisma.
This was because there were many like He Lan Long in the world. If all of them started worshipping He Lan Yuan, then the world was destined to be over. Therefore, many countries decided to not reveal any information on He Lan Yuan.
However, the public’s speculation on He Lan Yuan had not ceased. Even though there was not much information about him released to the public, there were pro-He Lan Yuan groups forming. Their purpose was to surrender to He Lan Yuan and serve him loyally.
In conclusion, He Lan Yuan’s appearance had thrown the whole world into chaos. Perhaps this peaceful world would welcome an unpredictable anarchy. Would the results be good or bad? No one could tell, at least for now….
…
A few days had passed. Ever since He Lan Yuan had announced himself, there was a big change every day. There were changes in people’s daily life as well. However, none of the changes was good.
Factories, schools, and businesses… all stopped functioning. There were few to no vehicles on the street and there were even less pedestrians. Almost everyone chose to spend their last month with their families.
The homeless and the criminals roamed the street, making a jaunt outside something extremely dangerous.
The internet thus became the most crowded place. Every day, numerous people posted methods trying to contact He Lan Yuan or to save themselves. Others opened message boards for pro-He Lan Yuan people to congregate and to swear their loyalty to him.
However, the scariest thing was that within only half a day of creation, millions of people registered and wanted to become He Lan Yuan’s followers. Even though the message board was shut down immediately and the organizers taken into custody, the data was chilling. This was only within Country R; other countries might have more people who were willing to show their loyalty to He Lan Yuan.
If these people were allowed to gather together, then the consequences would be unimaginably bad. Therefore, the United Nations were in meetings almost daily, analyzing various data, discussing ways to overcome this particular crisis. Every country was busy every day, however, most of these efforts would be pointless because no matter how hard they racked their brain, it would be impossible to remove all those satellites from space without alerting He Lan Yuan of their intention.
The time limit was reaching its end. If there were no solution, then they would have no choice but to surrender. They did not harbor any optimism that He Lan Yuan’s tyranny would be a fine time.
However, it seemed like something destined and no one was able to change it. With passing time, more and more people started to feel the clutches of despair…
Even some of the country leaders started to give up.
However, Xinghe’s group who stayed at the launch base did not give up. Ever since the video, every country sent their best computer experts to hack these computers. Hopefully, they could find some useful information on them.
However, none of the experts could make any progress on the computers. The supercomputers in the control room were interconnected.
==============================================================================================================================================
Chapter 807: Her Only Conviction
Hacking two supercomputers would trigger the self-destruct sequence and wipe out all the information. If you hacked the computers at the same time, it would also trigger the self-destruct sequence.
In conclusion, the trigger equipped in the supercomputers was insane. They were extremely trigger-happy. Only by providing the honest password could the computers be opened safely. The group of experts were powerless before such a crazy defense system.
They all suspected it was designed by He Lan Yuan. If his genius had reached such a level, then it was not hard to imagine the kind of crazy invention he would have invented. Unfortunately, his genius was utilized for the purpose of evil, if it was used for good, humanity would have benefited greatly.
Unhinged geniuses like him were extremely dangerous. Individuals like him would appear only a handful of times in history, either they would be one of the greats that propelled humanity forward or madmen that wrought heavy chaos to the world.
Therefore, if he was allowed to rule over the world, Earth would not be spared.
Honestly, in spite of the anger and disappointment, many wanted to see him in person. Even the experts had the intention to learn from him. However, He Lan Yuan was destined to be their enemy, the world’s enemy, in fact, one of the world’s greatest enemies in history.
They could not handle a system that he designed, much less him in person. After a long period of hard work, the experts left with heavy disappointment because they still could not hack through the system. No one wanted to continue wasting time there, they decided to channel their energy towards other efforts. The majority had chosen to give up on the He Lan family’s launch base.
The only exception was Xinghe’s group…
Xinghe spent her every waking hour trying to undo the mad systems. It had reached almost a point of obsession for her. After a few days of such actions, she had visibly lost weight.
Mubai and the rest took turn to ask her to take a rest, but their advice landed on deaf ears. No one could stop her once she had decided on her goal. The goal that she had given herself was to hack through these systems, to uncover all the information available on He Lan Yuan. This was her only conviction, the responsibility that she had shouldered.
However, Mubai and the rest could not understand why she was being so stubborn. Even though Mubai supported every one of her decision, she was actively harming her health which was where he drew the line.
Mubai, who finally lost his patience barged into the control room, grabbed Xinghe’s wrist and half-dragged her out of the room.
“What are you doing?” Xinghe, who was shocked by all the sudden movement, asked with a frown.
The man did not answer but the strength in his arm that held onto her wrist and the icy profile openly radiated his displeasure. Xinghe’s pupils darted around the hallway and she seemed to have understood something because she stopped struggling and allowed herself to be dragged away.
As she expected, Mubai pulled her to her room. On the table in the middle of the room was a scrumptious meal. He seated her before the table and ordered seriously, “You will have your meal, and then you will rest after that. Do not do anything else and you are not allowed to leave this room tonight, do you understand?”
Xinghe lifted her head to look at him. When she opened her lips to say something, Mubai directly glared at her.
==============================================================================================================================================
Chapter 808: No Bravery
“No excuses, you have to listen to my orders, you have no choice!”
Xinghe was startled. This was the first time Mubai had ever spoken to her in such a forceful and almost emotionless manner. However, Xinghe was not mad because she understood he was only looking out for her.
Mubai sat down beside her and shoved the food onto her plate with an angry expression. However, it did not take long for him to soften his tone and said, “Enjoy your meal. The world might be ending but your health is still the most important.”
Xinghe could not help but laugh. “Who still cares about health when the world is ending?”
“I do care.” Mubai looked into her eyes with his shiny black eyes. “Even if the world is ending, I will protect you and make sure that you live, so your health is always important to me.”
“No one can protect me because He Lan Yuan will definitely kill me.” Because it was Xinghe who had ruined the He Lan family.
Mubai’s lips curved into an unamused smile and said darkly, “Let’s see him try! He Lan Yuan does not even have the guts to face us personally; he is only brave enough to shout his threats from space. He has to be here to pose a threat to you, and remember, as long as I am alive, no one, not even that He Lan Yuan, will be able to harm you.”
There was a sudden glint in Xinghe’s eyes. “What did you just say?”
Mubai repeated firmly, “Nothing will happen to you, as long as I am alive, no one, not even that He Lan Yuan, will be able to harm you.”
“No, not that.” Xinghe shook her head, she looked at him and said, “You said, He Lan Yuan does not even have the guts to face us personally, he is only brave enough to shout his threats from space.”
Mubai did not understand why she would focus on that but he nodded. “That’s right, he does not have the balls to come down to Earth because if he did, then he wouldn’t be able to return with his life. Unless he wants to die together with the whole world, I don’t see him threatening this world anymore.”
“You are absolutely right!” Xinghe suddenly grabbed his arm and there was apparent excitement in her eyes.
Mubai was taken aback because Xinghe was rarely that emotional.
Xinghe laughed excitedly. “He does not dare come down here because he is afraid of death, or else why would he have wasted so years arranging his crazy plan? He will not allow any danger to come to himself because his ambitions are still unfulfilled.”
Mubai was confused. “And? What is your point?”
“If he does not come down, then how is he going to rule this world? He is going to play God from space, what is the fun in that?”
Comprehension dawned for Mubai. “Indeed, if he does not come down, how is he going to rule this world?”
“Furthermore, he should be in his old age by now. If he really did become the ruler, how many years longer can he sit on the throne?” Xinghe posed another question.
Mubai was startled, then said with hesitation, “You mean…”
Xinghe nodded. “Yes, he needs the memory cells.”
Now Mubai understood what she was hinting at, “He does not dare to come down means that he still does not know the research on memory cell has already completed?”
“Perhaps, but maybe he knows the full story. He still might have no use for something that has a 6-months expiry date.”
“If the research remains unsuccessful then he cannot rule the world.”
“That is probably why he did not make any move even though his plans had been in motion for decades.”
There was still one thing puzzling Mubai. “Regardless, if he stays in space, we cannot do anything to him as well. He can still threaten to destroy the whole world.”
“But at least we have a ray of hope. He cannot rule this world forever because he will die, and when he does, the world will return to its peaceful state.”
Chapter 809: Base Up There
Mubai could not help but laugh. “That is an optimistic way of looking at things. What if he does live for another decade? One decade is more than enough time to shape the world to his liking.”
Xinghe nodded but continued with confidence, “But he might die any moment too. If we can figure out a way to kill him then that would be best.”
“But that is impossible.”
He was in space and they were on Earth. Furthermore, he was monitoring their every movement from space, so it was hard to come up with a secret assassination mission. However, if they were in the same location as he was physically, then all these concerns would be non-issues.
“Where do you think He Lan Yuan is? Could he be on the moon?” Xinghe asked meaningfully. This question had been discussed many times by the United Nations.
Mubai nodded. “The possibility of that is high.”
This was because man had landed on the moon before and not on any other planet, but it was another thing to find out which part of the moon He Lan Yuan was hiding at. He had escaped notice for so many years, so it was possible that he had built himself a comfortable base on the moon.
Xinghe said with conviction, “He must have built a base on the moon and it is probably built using the energy crystals.”
“It has to be because the satellites are built with those as well.”
The satellites that had fallen to Earth were quickly taken in to be researched, and they were indeed constructed using the energy crystals. The energy crystals had an extremely high melting point and thus would not combust easily. However, they were also incredibly malleable, making them the perfect metallic substance.
From the beginning, they did not think the crystals came from Earth. Now they were certain, the things definitely did not come from Earth. They were probably a mineral from the moon.
He Lan Yuan had landed on the moon several decades ago and it must be then that he discovered these minerals. The perfection of these minerals birthed within him the rest of his plan. In other words, without these energy crystals, he would not have come up with such a sinister plan.
The objects made using the energy crystals were extremely light and they could provide an inordinate amount of heat energy. Therefore, it was very likely that these were the fuel for the spaceship found at the He Lan family’s base. They had used the spaceship to send many capable seeds into space to be He Lan Yuan’s slaves.
Xinghe lifted her eyes into the sky and said, “Those several hundred satellites do not seem like they were launched from Earth.”
Mubai followed the direction of her eyes and also looked up. “I think so too. Launching so many satellites would have notified the countries.”
“Therefore, he has a base on some planet and he is not lacking in human resources.” Perhaps her mother and Ee Chen’s father were up there with him. The orphans from the orphanage must have been taken to space after they grew up.
If there were people around him, it meant that they had a chance to get to him. There had to be people who harbored resentment towards He Lan Yuan. If they could contact that person and cooperate with them, then they could bring down He Lan Yuan.
The more Xinghe thought about it, the more excited she got. She told Mubai confidently, “We have to hack through these systems, only by hacking through them that we can gain contact with the people around He Lan Yuan.”
Mubai was speechless.
