The atmosphere in the conference room was lively.
For a time, everyone happily reported on the matters they were responsible for.
However, when it was the turn of the person in charge of city security, he looked at Lin Yu with some solemnity.
"Speak if you have something to say, don't bear too much burden. Meetings are for solving problems."
"Well, cough, this, in the past few days, the people responsible for Longcheng's safety have reported a situation."
The man glanced at Lin Yu's expression again. The previous discussions had been pleasant, so Lin Yu's mood was quite good.
"Lin Zhongshan has been in close contact with people from several nearby bases recently, those bases that have not agreed to our expansion plan."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's expression immediately soured.
His father was truly a troublemaker, wanting to exploit him for some benefits even before.
After Longcheng was incorporated, he lost his real power and became even more frantic.
"Pay more attention, see who he's been contacting... No, detain him and question him."
Rubbing his temples, Lin Yu, though young, had become much more mature in his thinking due to the training over the past year.
But the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and the immense responsibility weighing on his shoulders was truly heavy.
Therefore, when dealing with Lin Zhongshan's various demands, he had to make even more stringent decisions.
"By the way, everyone present here are also the administrators of Wuming City. There are some things I need to make clear to you first.
We have a research center in the city, and inside it, there's a small European-style building that Brother Lu moved back from outside. Everyone should know about this."
"We know. We all knew about it that day. They said it was for researching alien technology."
"Yes, that small building is indeed for researching alien technology, but the things inside are all made by alien robots."
"Are there really aliens on our Blue Star?"
Although everyone had heard rumors, since the matter had not been officially confirmed, they dared not be certain of its truth.
"Yes, around March last year, some aliens called the Senal people landed on Blue Star in their spacecraft.
However, they have not shown any malice towards humans for the time being. They live in their own areas and rarely go out to disturb human life."
"Is the technological level of aliens this high? Have they really achieved time travel?"
"Yes, if humans can learn this technology, our technology can also develop. Perhaps one day in the future, we can also land and live in space?"
"What a great thought. Maybe there will be such a day."
Lin Yu looked at everyone, a hint of excitement returning to his eyes.
"The team that went to Luocheng last time encountered some problems. Initially, we blocked the news. In fact, those people encountered aliens and were trapped in their space..."
Lin Yu explained the entire incident to those present. Of course, he wasn't entirely clear about some details, so he could only give a general overview.
"Let me show you the alien robots that Brother Lu brought back. These will also be put into use in Wuming City in the future, but the quantity is limited, and not everyone can have one."
As he finished speaking, Lin Yu took out two robots from his storage ring.
"Introduce yourselves."
To everyone's astonishment, the robots began to introduce themselves one by one. Of course, they mostly demonstrated their special functions.
Both robots were equipped with projection devices. Lin Yu had previously asked them to record some images. When these three-dimensional images were projected, they once again shocked everyone present.
"City Lord Lin, with this, our Wuming City has truly ascended to a higher level."
Alien robots were things they had only seen in movies. They never imagined that they would see real ones in their lifetime.
"City Lord Lin, are these things dangerous?"
While some were delighted, more rational individuals also raised a serious question.
These were products of high-tech civilization. Now, they seemed to communicate with humans without any obstacles.
They even autonomously demonstrated some content to everyone, which meant that such robots might develop intelligence and emotions.
This posed a threat to them, as biological organisms.
"Yes, in fact, Brother Lu already has a robot with independent consciousness by his side."
"I think I heard something about City Lord Lu bringing a strange humanoid object onto the city wall for inspection."
"Right? It should be this robot. It's said to move very fast and without the undulations of human walking, but rather a rapid, smooth translation."
"Like this?"
Lin Yu issued a command to the nanny robot. The robot's body lifted off the ground, floating in the room, moving around occasionally.
"How did such a large metal contraption float up? And without any sound?"
Almost everyone present were former or current soldiers. They had some knowledge of military equipment.
Regarding their understanding of robots, they believed they must be inseparable from a metal skeleton.
But the robot just now instantly floated into the air without making a sound.
Its drifting was incredibly smooth. If you put a sheet over it, you could probably film a ghost movie.
"Their technology has truly developed well. If this is applied to all aspects of life, humans can be freed up to do more things."
"Heh, Old Li, you just want to be lazy, don't you?"
"Go away, I'm genuinely happy to have these adorable high-tech products."
"However, I am still very worried. When technological development progresses to a certain stage, will they truly replace us, making me the one who is enslaved?"
The same person who asked the question earlier, he kept frowning as he watched the robots interact with everyone in the room.
"It's hard to say, but what's the use of enslaving us? If they could, I think they would prefer to keep us as pets, or simply eliminate us."
In the room, everyone, who had just been happy to see advanced alien products, fell into silence after hearing Lin Yu's words.
"Alas, let's not dwell on this for now. Our technology hasn't reached that level yet. We're worrying about things that haven't happened."
"Didn't you say City Lord Lu already has one? Is that one very dangerous?"
"That one is already a robot with intelligence. It has an agreement with Brother Lu not to harm humans, and it will help humans develop technology in the days to come."
Although revealing these matters might not eliminate some people's concerns,
The existence of aliens on Blue Star could no longer be changed. As beings of a higher civilization, they stood above humanity.
Besides fostering good relations, humanity currently had no means of resistance.
