My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Being able to discuss things with a mechanical genius of similar skill level is a pleasure for Screwgoom. Especially since the Creation Engine has Himeko's inspiration for the Star Core modification, it presents a new challenge to the entire modification process.

Ji Yuan and Luo Sigumu discussed for a long time and finally came up with a preliminary idea for the modification.

“I’ll probably need to think about this some more. If I have any new ideas, I’ll discuss them with you, Ji Yuan.” Screw Gumu said, then couldn’t help but add, “When do you have time to go to Screw Star? Take Black Tower’s advice and design a lifelike robot with a catgirl appearance; it could appear on Screw Star.”

"Ahem... I'll go to Screw Star sooner or later. I'll explore the entire universe thoroughly sooner or later."

"Ah."

Ji Yuan then hung up the phone with Luo Sigumu.

After he hung up the phone, Silver Wolf's message came through.

[Silver Wolf: This is the virus I just developed. You evil capitalist, don't contact me again unless it's absolutely necessary.]

Ji Yuan clicked "accept" and then replied with a happy emoji.

Silver Wolf: Hmph!

After she said that, her profile picture turned black.

"How is it? Is everything going smoothly?" Liu Ying asked him with concern at this moment.

"Yes, Silver Wolf's technology is still very reliable. You can continue to rest here, I'll go to the underground city and bring all the robots up."

"Uh-huh."

Chapter 187 Himeko's Lap Pillow, Su Chang in Danger, Xingxiao Attacks [8k]

"Big Brother Ji Yuan, will they be alright?"

Looking at the rows of small robots, each about half a person's height, that had appeared in front of her, Clara asked Ji Yuan, who was standing beside her, with some concern.

As she spoke, her tiny feet, which looked like little ice cream cones on the ground, twisted inwards in worry.

"Don't worry, I'll get rid of all these viruses after this is all over," Ji Yuan reassured Clara.

After offering his comfort, he smiled and asked Clara, "By the way, Clara, do you want me to give you control of those viruses? When we leave, you can become the master of all the machines in the lower city."

“No, I don’t need that. They’re my family, and I don’t want to control them.”

Clara shook her head vigorously, refusing Ji Yuan's suggestion.

She has no interest in being a leader; she just wants to spend more time with her friends.

She's such a well-behaved little girl.

Ji Yuan patted her head.

"Woo..."

Clara let out a sob as her head was being stroked like that.

Swallow's gaze fell on Ji Yuan, his eyes filled with warning. Although he had calculated that his chances of winning against Ji Yuan were zero, he still wouldn't allow Clara to be harmed.

Ji Yuan quickly raised his hand, pretending to be harmless.

He is definitely not a lolicon.

He only likes mature, older women and would never exhibit any lolicon behavior.

Seeing Ji Yuan's actions, Schwarzlo abandoned his plan to attack.

"Clara, we're still facing attacks from the antimatter legion outside, I have to leave now."

Seeing that the robots were obeying his commands, Ji Yuan prepared to leave. Clara followed him step by step and said to Ji Yuan, "Big brother Ji Yuan, I also want to help you on the battlefield outside. I don't want to stay here and wait for your victory in vain."

Hearing Clara say this, Ji Yuan initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he said to Clara, "Okay, you and Schwarz will help the front lines transport supplies and such."

He had been thinking about how to deal with the antimatter legion.

Some have overlooked the consequences after the Antimatter Legion leaves. With the Antimatter Legion gone, the planet Arillow-VI will no longer face major dangers. Simultaneously, the inhabitants of Beloberg will begin to integrate with the rest of the universe. If they are not prepared, significant problems will inevitably arise in their future interactions with other powers in the cosmos.

If it were a company, they could ignore the residents of Belleburg, because after the incident they wouldn't care what the residents thought, they would just throw themselves into the factory and not allow the residents to have any self-awareness.

Ji Yuan was different; he had no interest in ruling the residents here as a local tyrant, much less acting as a babysitter for this civilization. Ultimately, the development of Yalilo-VI would have to be left to the residents themselves. The battle with the antimatter legion allowed the residents of Beloberg to prepare in advance.

Even if we can't go to the front lines, we should at least unite and contribute from the rear.

Clara had no idea that Ji Yuan was thinking so much. Anyway, when she heard Ji Yuan agree that she could participate in the war that would decide the fate of Beloberg, Clara couldn't help but show a happy expression.

……

Ji Yuan led the small robots to the place north of Beloborg where the creation engine was located.

Upon seeing the automatons appear, Xing and March 7 instinctively drew their weapons. Back underground, they had fought these things quite a bit, and they had caused them no shortage of minor troubles.

Ji Yuan quickly stopped the two of them.

“Stars, they’re not here to attack us. These are my helpers.”

"Helpers? They listen to you? How did you do that?" Seeing that these automatons really didn't attack the people around them, Xing stopped and asked curiously.

Ji Yuan explained, "I found someone to help me develop a virus, and then used this virus to control these automated soldiers."

"what?"

March 7th looked completely bewildered.

At this moment, Su Chang, who had also come over to look at the Creation Engine, patted March 7 on the shoulder.

"It's okay, don't dwell on it if you don't understand. You only didn't understand it once or twice. I follow him around every day, and I'm always confused, but I've gotten through it, haven't I?"

Seeing Su Chang's instructive expression, Ji Yuan glared at her fiercely.

You've become proud of yourself, haven't you?

Su Chang stuck out her tongue and quietly hid behind Jing Liu.

Ji Yuan gave her another look.

After this is all over, I will teach you your academic subjects properly.

Su Chang panicked instantly.

There was no time to deal with Su Chang's problem right now. After threatening his younger sister, Ji Yuan began modifying the Creation Engine again.

This also serves to prevent others from wasting their time here.

"Alright, Bronya, the arrangement of the defense line still needs to be discussed with you and the company's employees."

"Ah."

Bronya nodded, then went with Cocolia and Seele to set up the defenses. The others also left one after another, leaving only Himemoto and Himeko, who were there to set up the Creation Engine.

Walter Young himself wanted to stay, but his extensive experience in setting up defenses against the antimatter legion made it unwise to waste time here.

He quietly pulled Ji Yuan aside and then said in as calm a tone as possible that if the creation engine lacked someone to operate it, he could come and help.

Ji Yuan found it amusing to see Walter's expression, but outwardly nodded in agreement.

After everyone left, Ji Yuan took out his computer, sat on a rock, and began programming the virus to make the small robots move.

Himeko then walked over, moved closer to Himeko, bent down and brushed aside Himeko's red hair, looking at Himeko's computer screen with great interest.

The mature woman brushed aside her hair, revealing her exquisite face, which was incredibly alluring. Ji Yuan also caught a whiff of her natural fragrance, and his face involuntarily flushed crimson.

I also felt a bit hot.

Ji Yuan quickly said to Ji Zi, "Sister Ji Zi, why don't you also input your modification ideas into my programming of the virus? That way, it will save a lot of effort as well."

"Okay."

Himeko was also very interested in this.

Then she began to execute the improved commands on the computer.

Himeko is far less skilled in computer programming than Ginrou, Himemoto, and Screw Gum, but she's not a complete novice. With Himemoto's guidance, she can write down whatever she wants to modify.

Ji Yuan and Ji Zi carried out their orders.

During the modification process, Ji Yuan made a slight adjustment. He instructed the automated mechs to tamper with the creation engines.

Seeing this, Himeko glanced at Himemoto. Himemoto, in turn, gave her a meaningful look.

Himeko couldn't help but smile, secretly anticipating how powerful the inventions Ji Yuan would make.

As night fell, Ji Yuan and Ji Zi became overseers, supervising the actions of the automated soldiers.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Himeko, holding a cup of coffee, crossed her legs, revealing her smooth and delicate calves to Himemoto.

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare," Ji Yuan quickly denied.

Himeko smiled and said, "Don't worry, I bought this cup when I came out of Belleburg, and I just heated it up. I didn't brew it myself."

Hearing this, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his coffee to drink.

Hmm, it's quite bitter, but it's definitely refreshing.

Ji Yuan felt his drowsiness disappear almost instantly.

Looking up at the sky, I found it was a hazy gray.

"We should be looking at the beautiful starry sky in the snowfield at this time, but now it's all blocked by the antimatter legion."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but complain.

"Yes, this is the perfect time to appreciate the starry sky, but the antimatter legion has ruined my mood."

Himeko completely agreed with this.

She watched quietly as Ji Yuan cursed the antimatter legion for a while, and even planned to reduce Xing Xiao to an atomic state, and couldn't help but smile.

Ji Zi said to Ji Yuan, "Alright, instead of talking about those things, let's talk about something happy. Ji Yuan, I haven't been to the Luo Fu Immortal Ship and the Yao Qing Immortal Ship yet. Could you tell me about what it's like there?"

Upon hearing Himeko's words, Ji Yuan also stopped cursing the antimatter legion.

Sitting next to Himeko, he began to tell her about his interesting experiences on the Celestial Ship Alliance. As they chatted, after Ji Yuan had finished telling Himeko everything he could about the Celestial Ship, Himeko also shared her hometown and the local customs and sights she had encountered along the way on the Starry Sky Train.

Ji Yuan listened with great longing.

He said to Himeko, "When I have time in the future, I will definitely travel all over the world."
