I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.
Chapter 73 countdown: 35 days, free electricity.
After disappearing from the streets of the United States, Luo Fei did not go straight home, but returned to his spaceship first.
The Mannen Falcon rested quietly on the open ground next to the Kyoto warehouse. Its silvery-white hull gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and the stern hatch was open, with robots moving in and out methodically, carrying ore.
"Xiao Wan, where did those two hide the stolen treasure? They stole so much stuff, they need somewhere to store it, they can't just carry it with them all the time."
Xiao Wan's voice rang out quickly: "Captain, I have retrieved all possible asset records under the names of the Thousand-Faced Thief couple and found the AIS historical route data of one of their yachts."
"For the past ten years or so, this yacht has traveled to the same coordinates every month—an uninhabited island in the western ocean. The yacht would stay at the coordinates for several days before returning. The location is extremely remote, outside of any commercial shipping routes, and not covered by any country's radar."
On the cockpit's front window, a clear nautical chart of the Western Ocean was projected, with a red dot flashing continuously at the location of a small island.
The island is small, has no official name, is not marked on nautical charts, and doesn't even appear on most maps.
Xiao Wan zoomed in on the image, and the satellite photo immediately showed that the island was covered with lush tropical vegetation, with a small hill in the center of the island.
"This island has no permanent residents, no fresh water or electricity supply, and is hundreds of nautical miles from the nearest inhabited island. There is a hidden cave on the island, which is difficult to spot from the air. I suggest the captain go there in person."
Luo Fei only said one word: "Go".
All the robots froze instantly, and the Eternal Falcon vanished from the open space of the Kyoto warehouse.
The view outside the window changed from the moonlit city to the pitch-black night sky, and then to the azure ocean.
In the afternoon in the Western Ocean, the sun shines directly down, making the sea surface sparkle.
The island is small and lush with greenery.
The spaceship hovered above the island, and Luo Fei jumped out of the hatch, landing in the dense forest on the island.
He walked through the dense forest and found the entrance to the cave.
This is not a natural formation; there are traces of artificial excavation at the entrance, and the rock walls on both sides have been flattened, with chisel marks still remaining on them.
The cave wasn't deep; after walking about ten meters, you reached the end. At the end was a heavy iron door with a combination lock.
Luo Fei ripped off the iron gate, revealing natural light coming in from the outside through dozens of optical fibers.
The light was soft, yet enough to illuminate the entire space.
The cave is very large, with an area of at least 100 square meters, and it is divided into several areas.
On the left are rows of metal shelves against the wall, neatly displaying display cases and trays of various sizes.
To the right are several temperature- and humidity-controlled artifact preservation cabinets with their glass doors tightly closed, containing treasures of various materials.
In the very center of the cave was a long table covered with black velvet, on which rested a crown that shone with a dazzling golden light under the fiber optic cable.
Luo Fei collected all the treasures inside.
These items are not the private collection of the master thief, but national treasures stolen from other countries.
They should be displayed in a museum for everyone to see, not hidden in this dark cave as the private collection of two thieves.
He looked around to make sure he hadn't left anything behind, then turned and walked out of the cave.
He got home close to midnight.
The lights in the yard were still on, casting a warm yellow glow on the leaves of the Spirit Gathering Grass, making the silver veins of the leaves gleam slightly in the night.
Little White was lying in its cat bed under the eaves. Hearing the noise, it raised its head, its icy blue eyes flashing in the darkness. Seeing that it was Luo Fei, it buried its head back down and flicked its tail lightly as a greeting.
Luo Fei entered the house without disturbing his parents, tiptoed upstairs, and returned to his room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, took out his phone, and sent a message: "Xiao Wan, in the second building, reserve one floor specifically for storing cultural relics from other countries."
Xiao Wan replied with a single word: "Okay".
In the days that followed, the second building next to the Xianglong Museum rose from the ground at a visible speed. Construction robots worked day and night to pour concrete, weld, and assemble the structure, its silvery-white dragon-scale facade mirroring that of the first building. The two buildings stood side by side in the eastern district of Longhai City, resembling two giant dragons running side by side, their heads facing east and their tails west, shimmering in the sunlight.
Time passed faster than expected.
With the joint efforts of Luo Fei and the village chief, the Spirit Gathering Grass was planted throughout the entire village in the best locations provided by Xiao Wan.
The village chief made a batch of small wooden signs that read "Special Plant, Do Not Pick" and placed them next to each Spirit Gathering Grass.
He went door-to-door to inform every household in the village, repeatedly reminding them, "This grass was planted by Xiaofei; it can purify the air. I won't allow any child to pull it up."
Although the villagers didn't quite understand why this plant, which looked like a weed, couldn't be pulled up, they decided not to touch it since it was planted by Luo Fei.
Soon, November quietly slipped away.
On December 1st, Luo Fei slowly opened his eyes in the bright sunlight.
He summoned the system in his mind.
[Today's divine choice has been triggered.]
The options then appear:
Option A: One ton of molten jujube rice dumplings. Sweet, soft, and glutinous, with a rich jujube aroma.
Option B: One ton of salted egg and pork rice dumplings. Savory and delicious, with an irresistible aroma of meat.
Luo Fei chose B without hesitation.
He is from the South and grew up eating savory rice dumplings.
The salted egg and pork rice dumpling is rich but not greasy, with the glutinous rice absorbing the oil from the meat and the rich aroma of the salted egg yolk.
He put the zongzi in the ring, thinking that the New Year was not far away, and he could distribute them as New Year's gifts then.
He sat up in bed, leaned against the headboard, and glanced at the date on his phone screen—December 1st.
There are 35 days left until the alien fleet arrives on Earth, which is a little over a month.
He recalled the tireless efforts of scientists from various countries during this period.
Those scientists who spend almost every day in spaceships, those engineers who work through the night in laboratories, and those workers who work three shifts in factories.
They weren't working overtime for themselves; they were buying time for all of humanity on Earth.
Three days ago, the headline news in China was a piece of news that stunned everyone.
"China's first controlled nuclear fusion device was successfully connected to the grid and began generating electricity today. The device has an output power of 500 megawatts and can operate continuously for 50 years without the need to change fuel."
"There is no risk of nuclear leakage and no high-level radioactive nuclear waste. This means that China is about to enter an era of free electricity."
In the scene, the container-sized, silver-white device stands quietly in the middle of the factory. There are no chimneys, no cooling towers, and no heavy outer shell of a nuclear reactor. Only a few cables extend from the bottom of the device, connecting to the transformer next to it.
The engineer sat in the control room, lightly tapping his finger on the touchscreen. The device started, and a line of green text appeared on the screen.
"Grid connection successful. Output power: 500 megawatts."
There was no roar, no vibration, and no sense of ceremony. The electricity was generated silently.
In the comments section, some people exclaimed, "This is the power of technology," others said, "How could the technology provided by Luo Fei not be amazing?" Still others were concerned about "whether electricity prices will be reduced," and some even bluntly stated, "It's not a reduction, it's free to use."
Free electricity is not just an empty slogan, but a reality that is about to be realized.
Schools, hospitals, and farms in remote mountainous areas, and people who are reluctant to turn on the heating in the cold winter and the air conditioning in the sweltering summer, will no longer have to be overly frugal with their electricity consumption.
On the same day, another event was also reported in the news.
A veteran who lost his right arm during training appeared on camera; his right arm is a bionic limb.
It is not the kind of cold, stiff mechanical hand that can only perform simple grasping actions, but a bionic limb with skin texture, temperature, and tactile sensation, which can move as flexibly as a real hand.
He slowly raised his right hand, spreading his five fingers, and then closing them one by one.
He picked up a coin from the table, gently pinched it between his thumb and forefinger, and held it up to the camera. The coin reflected the light and remained firmly in place.
"This hand is just like the real thing. I can feel the warmth of the coin, touch its edge, and clearly sense that it's right between my fingers."
His voice was calm as usual, but his eyes were red.
He was not only happy for himself, but also gratified for his comrades who fought alongside him.
As the news was nearing its end, the host announced a new policy.
"All military personnel and police officers disabled in the line of duty are eligible for free bionic limb implantation. This technology is already included in China's medical insurance system, and ordinary citizens can choose to have it installed based on their own needs and financial situation. The cost is far lower than similar products on the international market. For those who are truly in financial difficulty, relevant fees may be reduced or waived after review."
Luo Fei stared at the news, a slight smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.
Those soldiers who sweated on the training ground, those military and police officers who silently stood guard on the border, and those heroes who lost limbs while protecting others can finally regain their limbs.
These are not ordinary prosthetics, but limbs that can truly sense and touch, allowing them to live like normal people.
For the past few days, the options the system has given me every morning have been ordinary, unimportant items.
This includes "a top-of-the-line private jet".
"Overall ownership of the Lushi Twin Towers".
"One thousand sets of silk quilts." and so on.
Luo Fei was getting ready to get up and wash when his phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone, and Director Qin's voice came through the receiver, tinged with barely concealed joy: "Good morning, Xiao Luo. Guess how many particle cannons we've built so far?"
Director Qin's tone was just like that of a child who was eager to share their good grades after getting a test.
