After eating and drinking to their hearts’ content, Du Yue put away all the cutlery and rubbish and then looked at He Xing again. He Xing knew what Du Yue was going to ask. “The fourth base is going to start building an underground city. The government has recruited a lot of people to expand the base in the empty area.”
The dust produced by the volcanic eruption drifted everywhere. It was unknown how long it would take for it to completely dissipate. The surface was no longer suitable for human life, so they could only expand underground. Building an underground city was the top priority now.
Although Du Yue understood the intention of the base, she also knew that digging out the underground city with bare hands would be a huge project. Du Yue did not think like this because of the base. She just did not want He Xing to move bricks and dig soil every day.
Du Yue fell into deep thought. After a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and she took out a box from her space. Looking at the box that suddenly appeared on the table, Xia Ju was a little puzzled. “What is this?”
He Xing recognized it at a glance. “The digging robot!”
“That’s right!”
Xia Ju looked at Du Yue and then at He Xing.
“What’s the use of this thing? We’re not rabbits. We don’t need to dig a hole.”
Looking at Xia Ju’s puzzled expression, Du Yue explained, “This isn’t just used to dig rabbit holes. This is a robot that can dig out an entire underground city!
We met an interstellar person before and got this from him. I didn’t expect it to finally come in handy.”
The contractor who was known as the king had dug out a large-scale underground city just by relying on such robots. Using robots to dig holes was not only efficient, but most importantly, He Xing would be able to free his hands. Hearing Du Yue’s explanation, Xia Ju’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Are they really that amazing? Then why don’t we build our own underground city? Wouldn’t we be able to live however we want?”
However, they were trapped underground and could not go anywhere.
Du Yue did not bring out the robot to build an underground city for themselves. Du Yue handed the box to He Xing. “Since you’re so proficient in machinery, why don’t you propose it to the base?”
He Xing instantly understood what she meant. “I suggest that we get a studio to make an identical one.”
“Yes! Do you think this thing is easy to copy?”
He Xing smiled confidently. “It’s not difficult. I can use this opportunity to make requests to the base. For example, when the underground city is built, I want a spacious house with two bedrooms and one living room.”
With two rooms, it would be more convenient for them to move around and rest. They did not have to squeeze into the same room every day. The two of them had been together for a long time, and naturally, they had become more and more tacit. Sometimes, they did not even need to finish their sentences and the other party could guess the second half of the sentences. Moreover, their thoughts were always exactly the same.
Xia Ju’s dark eyes shifted. “Since He Xing can use a robot to exchange for a nice house with the base, I’ll also…”
“Are you going to take out the treatment chamber to exchange for benefits with the base?”
“How did you know?”
“The words ‘I want to use the treatment chamber’ are basically written on your face.”
“So, do you think it’s okay?”
“Of course… not!”
Du Yue was originally worried that Xia Ju would not listen to her advice. She did not expect her to laugh after being rejected. “I knew you wouldn’t give in.” “You guessed it yet you still asked?”
Xia Ju smiled sweetly at Du Yue. “I just want to do something for our little family! Otherwise, I’d be annoying you, eating and drinking every day yet doing nothing!”
Du Yue was speechless, but what she said made sense. Xia Ju told Du Yue and He Xing about her little plan. Not only did Du Yue and He Xing not find her annoying, but they even found her a little cute.
Early the next morning, He Xing left with the rest of the team after breakfast. Last night, He Xing had already taken apart the digging robot and studied it. With the current conditions of the blue planet, it was impossible to replicate the exact same body. Once the body shape was completed, there was no way to change it. However, this did not matter much. The size of the body was not that important. As long as it was functional, it would be fine. Du Yue still had 100% trust in He Xing’s ability. Looking at He Xing’s back, she was not worried at all..
