Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1316 Everything is ready
Yang Bo is starting to build intelligent manufacturing robots in the laboratory!

In theory, as long as there is one intelligent manufacturing robot, and given enough time, energy, and materials, this robot can create a robot army and also a smart factory.

However, the manufacturing of robots faces a problem: a decrease in precision!
Because it's impossible to manufacture a machine with the same precision as itself!

Therefore, Yang Bo needs to manufacture a sufficient number of industrial robots!

Although manufacturing these robots is quite troublesome, Yang Bo can only manufacture one robot a day!

Because Yang Bo directly used the Mechanic mode to create it.

It consumes too much energy!
These robots can then be used to create more robots. The second-generation robots can then be used to build energy engine manufacturing plants, provided that a complete design blueprint is available.

Just hand over the design drawings and materials to these robots, and they will complete the process automatically!
Once these robots are manufactured, Yang Bo will transfer them to a spaceship!
Because warship energy engines involve radioactive materials.

These materials need to be synthesized in a space environment.

Furthermore, robots are more efficient at production in space!
Because of the influence of gravity on the ground!

If robots are to produce large equipment, they will need more auxiliary equipment or more energy.

In space, under microgravity, these robots require very little energy to maintain their movement.

In addition, the manufacturing of energy engines also involves subsequent testing and so on!
These things cannot be done on the planet, because if something goes wrong, the entire planet might be destroyed.

Bart's laboratory is only responsible for manufacturing various robots.

Once the robots are manufactured, we will try to transfer them to other transport ships.

We'll have these robots modify the transport ships then.

Transform the transport ship into an energy engine production plant.

Because warships require too many types and models of energy engines.

The warship's own main power engine and auxiliary engine!

Furthermore, the mechs, fighter jets, missiles, escape pods, communication boats, smart bombs, and various detectors carried by warships all require energy engines.

Yang Bo was not comfortable purchasing energy engines from other people.

"Hehe!" On this day, Yang Bo had just used up most of his energy to create a first-generation robot!

After the first-generation robot was successfully manufactured, Yang Bo directly input the program, and these robots went on to manufacture the second-generation robot.

Yang Bo had just returned to Lee John's warship to recharge when he discovered that his paper published on March Star had been refuted by many people.

There are biological experts, energy experts, and interstellar biological research experts among them!
Many expressed that Yang Bo's paper was completely unfounded.

There is no possibility of an intermediate between carbon-based and silicon-based organisms!

Because these are two different substances!
Yang Bo had anticipated this!
However, Yang Bo did not intend to refute it!
The purpose of creating this academic website was to make myself famous.

Moreover, he himself stated in his paper that it was all a guess.

It's reasonable for others to refute what you've guessed.

Either way, you'll become famous.

Yang Bo also discovered that people were submitting articles to his academic website.

However, the review capabilities of their own academic websites are simply insufficient.

Because academic website editors need to have sufficient knowledge to review these submitted papers!
Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin are not qualified to conduct the review.

However, Yang Bo has no plans to accept these papers at the moment!
According to Yang Bo, these papers are mostly just riding the wave of popularity.

Although my previous papers weren't very good either.

Therefore, Yang Bo has not paid attention to these matters for the time being.

Because Yang Bo's focus was on the pirate alliance's operation.

The Pirate Alliance's attack on the mineral planet of the Federal Central State Consortium.

The main objective is to force Madhya Pradesh to negotiate.

Because even the pirate alliance couldn't take it anymore, the internal conflicts within the pirate alliance became increasingly intense.

The main problem is that the elders of the Pirate Alliance Council are not of one mind!

As mentioned earlier, these elders are mainly from the Alliance and some financial groups within the Empire.

On one hand, they used pirates to attack their competitors.

On the other hand, they buy up the looted items from pirates for 20% of the price and then resell them as genuine products.

I won't even go into how much profit is involved!

However, because these conglomerates have different business scopes, some businesses are very profitable, while others are not.

When the Pirate Alliance was doing well, no one had any objections.

Now those pirate groups are demanding compensation. Although the Pirate Alliance Council has agreed to compensate, the amount of compensation has not yet been agreed upon.

Furthermore, how should the amount of compensation be apportioned?

Some people are demanding that the cost be shared equally, since the decision was made by everyone!
Some people demanded that the proceeds be divided according to the proportion of the stolen goods sold by everyone.

If the Pirate Alliance Council couldn't even reach a consensus, it was even less likely that they could reach any substantial agreement with other pirate ships.

In addition, the pirate groups supported by the elders of the Pirate Alliance Council also suffered heavy losses!
In other words, they are the black gloves of these conglomerates!
If the mineral planets of the Federal Madhya Pradesh Consortium are attacked, the Madhya Pradesh Consortium will be the first to be directly affected.

Additionally, it affects the resupply of warships in Madhya Pradesh!

Because if these mineral planets are destroyed, Madhya Pradesh will have to buy materials from outside!
The price of materials purchased from outside sources will definitely increase.

At that time, the conglomerate's income will be affected, and the price of imported materials will be high!
This affects the final planned number of warships and the speed at which they are built!

This will buy more time for the pirate alliance, as they also need to replenish their warships!
This time it's targeting all the conglomerates in Madhya Pradesh!
There are a total of fifty-four mineral stars belonging to all the consortia in the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh.

Including those currently in use and those that have been sealed!
During the mining process, some mineral-bearing planets are sealed off!
For example, fluctuations in material prices!

Because the environment of mineral planets varies, mining costs can be greatly affected.

Because the cost of mining some newly discovered mineral planets will be lower than that of the original ones!

The cost of mining mineral planets mainly depends on variations in temperature range, gravity, and mineral content.

For example, some mineral planets contain dozens of materials.

Therefore, the cost of these mineral planets is very low.

As for temperature ranges, mining costs are relatively low on planets closer to their stars because they can directly utilize the star's energy!
Moreover, planets with greater temperature differences place higher demands on the performance of mining robots and equipment.

The pirate alliance only dispatched thirteen pirate crews this time!
And these thirteen pirate groups were given free rein to plan their attack routes.

Because the pirate alliance couldn't confirm whether there were any spies within its ranks, they decided to use this method!

They simply devised a basic plan for the pirate crew.

In other words, these pirate groups could freely combine in twos or threes when they attacked.

Joint attacks are also possible, which means simultaneously striking all mineral planets in the same region.

The pirate alliance's approach does indeed prevent internal intelligence from being leaked!

However, what the pirate alliance didn't know was that Yang Bo not only had an inside agent within the pirate group.

Moreover, many pirate ships use warships with backdoors.

The number of warships of the four pirate groups that cooperated with Yang Bo did not increase much.

These pirate groups sold all of their original warships.

The original warships were export models of the Empire, and their performance was 20 percent lower than that of the Federation's regular warships.

These four pirate groups are now using warships from the Federation's regular army.

After these pirate groups sold their warships, they were transferred to other pirate groups.

When these pirate groups fought alongside John Lee, John Lee was granted temporary supervisory authority over these warships!

It was around that time that Yang Bo installed some backdoors on these warships!
Of course, when the warship is sailing silently, Yang Bo cannot obtain the enemy's position!
However, these warships make plans before they sail silently.

In other words, everyone agrees on where to meet!

Moreover, warships themselves have internal defense systems!

An internal defense system can capture conversations of specific individuals.

For example, if someone on the warship addresses the commander as "commander," the internal defense system can lock onto the commander's voice!

The next time the leader speaks, the internal defense system will block the leader's voice from entering!

Then it will detect sensitive words in the internal defense audio!

Even if the pirate crew discovered that their internal defense system was eavesdropping, they wouldn't have any suspicions.

Because the internal defense systems of a warship are meant to function.

Yang Bo can use his photoelectric superpowers to directly generate backdoor programs within the warship's intelligent system!
This bypasses the warship's security protection system.

Because other hackers who want to implant backdoor programs need to receive the software from his official website for installation.

Yang Bo can program directly within the intelligent system.

This is equivalent to someone inside a warship programming the ship using its internal equipment.

Therefore, the warship's safety systems did not react at all!

As for sending signals, they were also disguised.

Because warships communicate with the outside world during their normal voyages!
The pirate captain needs to contact the base, and the pirates in the pirate crew also need various entertainment facilities.

Because being a pirate crew member is quite boring while on a mission.

Furthermore, Yang Bo was not trying to stop their actions this time.

Instead, they planned to ambush and kill these guys on the way after their operation was successful!

Yang Bo's target this time is the Raptors Pirates!
The Fierce Dragon Pirates are relatively low-profile within the entire pirate alliance, but they are very powerful. On the surface, they only have one B-class warship, but in reality, they have three, six C-class warships, and more than twenty D-class warships. They have five bases and a total of more than 300,000 people.

The Dragon Pirates only use one B-class warship on each mission, so the outside world believes that they only have one B-class warship. But even so, the Dragon Pirates are ranked among the top ten in the entire pirate crew!
The Dragon Pirates purchased a Class D warship from the Greyhound Pirates, and Yang Bo learned about the Dragon Pirates' background through this Class I warship.

The Raptor Pirates have close ties with the Empire!
Therefore, Yang Bo guessed that the Fierce Dragon Pirates were probably supported by some force within the Empire.

Then, we will further analyze some of the actions of the Raptors Pirates!
Yang Bo suspects that the Fierce Dragon Pirates are supported by another Grand Duke of the Empire.

This is because the Grand Duke's biggest rival in the family succession battle more than two hundred years ago was someone who encountered pirates during interstellar travel and was subsequently kidnapped by them.

It's important to know that the struggle for the Grand Duke's heir is extremely fierce.

Because becoming a Grand Duke is like rising to the top in one step!
If I don't become a Grand Duke, then the rest of my life will be wasted!

Of course, there is another possibility: the original heir came to the pirate crew in this way and became the next person in charge of the family controlling the pirate crew.

Yang Bo's target this time is a base of the Raptors Pirates.

After the attack, the Raptors pirate crew will most likely return to his base.

Yang Bo lay in ambush on the only road leading to this base.

Yang Bo's spaceship is also sailing silently!
After discussing the matter, the dozens of pirate groups began a silent voyage, converging on one place from all directions.

The Federal State of Madhya had no idea that the pirate alliance was about to launch such a large-scale offensive.

It took Yang Bo twenty days to reach the designated location.

In those twenty days, Yang Bo manufactured twenty first-generation robots, and then these robots built more than one hundred second-generation robots!

The reason there are so few of them is that these people need to build some manufacturing equipment first!
Robots are also manufactured using manufacturing equipment!
Yang Bo implanted various programs into these robots, enabling them to manufacture all sorts of devices!
At this time, the pirate crew had not yet reached the designated location, because they needed to take a detour.

The pirate alliance has also spent a huge amount of money this time, keeping an eye on all the warships of the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh!
They're also keeping an eye on John Lee's fleet; one of John Lee's B-class warships has gone missing!

During this time, Yang Bo took another stroll around the Second World.

Then Yang Bo appeared in front of Catherine again!

Yang Bo's private laboratory for creating robots is not located on the island where Catherine lives!
"Master!!" Since Catherine practiced the secret technique last time, her physique has changed significantly recently.

Of course, Catherine knew that this was because Bart had helped her last time.

Because it's impossible to fill all the nodes at once, and then perform a second filling!

"How do you feel?" Yang Bo felt that Catherine seemed prettier and more attractive than before.

"It feels great!"

"This secret technique must be the most advanced one within the Red Earl's inner circle."

"And I've been thinking about a lot of things lately!"

“I seem to remember that I also have parents, but I have very few memories of them now!” Catherine said, her face looking rather pale.

Although she doesn't have a complete memory, from some fragmented memories, Catherine discovers that she may have been deceived or robbed.

In other words, he originally had a happy family, and then joined the Red Earl organization for some reason.

"Let's talk about it after you regain your memory!" Yang Bo knew how unscrupulous the Red Earl and his ilk were.
