I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo nearly choked on his anger, barely suppressing the urge to complain, and asked, "Then tell me, which of these technologies can you use directly? Which ones can you actually build?"

Nannan shook her head, her little face full of regret: "I can't make any of them, Nannan doesn't have the raw materials."

Zhou Weiguo's heart sank, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. He sighed inwardly, "That's right, Nannan is just a spatial spirit; she can't just create things out of thin air."

"Brother, are you spacing out?" Nannan tugged at his sleeve. "As long as you give Nannan enough raw materials, Nannan can use her spatial perception at the micrometer level and quark-level recombination to synthesize what you want! It's just a bit slow... If only my precious hen were still here, she could make anything much faster!"

Zhou Weiguo suddenly snapped back to reality. The space upgrade had mentioned the construction and synthesis function, but he'd been so caught up in the news of the Dongfeng-5 that he'd completely forgotten! He immediately roared in his mind, "Hey buddy! Get the hell out here!"

"Host, what's wrong?" the system's voice asked lazily.

"What's going on with Nannan? Didn't you say she was a space spirit? How can she perform quark-level recombination?" Zhou Weiguo asked, full of doubt.

The system slowly explained, "Back then, you had an accident during your transmigration, and there wasn't enough data energy. I had to dismantle the Red Alert main base to patch the vulnerabilities. Nannan is actually the AI ​​of the main base, and your space is now equivalent to the Red Alert space. Do you understand now?"

"Holy crap!" Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up. "Does that mean that as long as she has the raw materials, she can build the Red Alert main base, and even Red Alert weapons?"

"What are you thinking?" The system poured cold water on her idea. "Red Alert units can only be built after the system unlocks them. Besides, she lacks the core industrial mothership, and her synthesis efficiency is ridiculously low right now. Building the Dongfeng-5 with her will take at least ten years. But..."

Zhou Weiguo sensed the hidden meaning in his words and pressed him directly, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me, what's your plan?"

"Simple, hand over all your energy points, and I'll give you two good things, absolutely worth every penny!" The system's voice was enticing.

"Are you fucking obsessed with energy points? I finally managed to save up so many!" Zhou Weiguo exploded. "Why didn't you ever care about my energy points before?"

"What could you possibly do with that little bit of energy before? It couldn't even break through the world barrier!" the system declared confidently. "Your thousand-plus units of energy are barely enough for me for a while. Want some or not?"

"Tell me what you'll get first," Zhou Weiguo asked cautiously.

"I'll use the warehouse's industrial... uh... um, I'll expend a huge amount of energy to build a super Red Alert industrial mothership for you, and I'll also give you a Xia Kingdom mine and a deep-sea hyperspace mining vehicle," the system tempted. "It can build unlocked Red Alert units and steadily earn energy points, what a bargain!"

Zhou Weiguo had some doubts, feeling there was a trap involved, but he was also really envious of the industrial machine tool.

He pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you 1000 points, but just these three things are too much of a loss! You have to unlock the base vehicle, the mine, and the mining vehicle, and the base vehicle has to be the full version!"

"Deal! Anyone who goes back on their word is a coward!" The system readily agreed.

Before Zhou Weiguo could react, a notification sounded in his mind: "Ding! 1059 energy points deducted! Red Alert Base Vehicle, Mine, Deep Sea Chrono Mining Vehicle unlocked!"

Immediately afterward, a sweet scream came from afar: "Wow! Brother! My base vehicle and the giant hen are back! The mine and minecart are back too! Huh? Why did you stop? Keep going! I have so many more treasures!"

Looking into the distance, Zhou Weiguo saw three large buildings and a strange vehicle appear out of thin air as the fog dissipated, and the space had expanded considerably. He instantly realized that these weren't newly built at all; they were things the system had taken away before!

"Damn system! You tricked me again! This wasn't created by consuming energy! You clearly hid it!" Zhou Weiguo was so angry he jumped up and down.

"Calm down, calm down." The system didn't seem to care. "Didn't I expand your space for free? Oh, and just a reminder, deploying Red Alert units requires energy points, and I need to use the hyperspace portal to recover the ore mined by the mining trucks. Charging you half the fee isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"I'll give you a piece of my mind!" Zhou Weiguo cursed, but no matter how much he yelled, the system pretended to be dead and remained silent.

Zhou Weiguo continued cursing until he was exhausted, his throat dry and sore. He then turned to Nannan, who was standing obediently to the side, and asked with a hint of grievance, "Nannan, I was tricked by that damn system. What things were taken from you back then?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then stretched out her chubby fingers and counted them one by one: "There are so many! There are three sub-base vehicles, and lots and lots of basic buildings, lots and lots of super weapons, and countless soldiers, tanks, and warships!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Why did this description sound so familiar? He suddenly realized, damn it! In the pirated Red Alert collection he played before his transmigration, he single-handedly took on seven ruthless enemies on the Arctic Circle map, destroyed three base vehicles, had Red Alert units everywhere, and had accumulated seven figures worth of minerals. Could all of this have originally belonged to him?

"Holy shit! This is all my stuff!" Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but curse. "You damn system, you've screwed me over! You just take away all my Red Alert units, no matter what! This is ridiculous!"

"Host, there's no need to get too excited. Without my intervention, your Red Alert units are nothing more than a bunch of useless game data."

The system's voice was somewhat nonchalant, "Besides, you don't want me to just give you an invincible cheat, do you? Do you want to destroy the world or trigger an apocalyptic scenario? By the way, my friend just sent me a vial of T-virus. If you want to try it, spread it out and I'll restore all your Red Alert units. But I have to warn you, even if you're restored, you'll still be nothing in the face of the apocalypse."

Zhou Weiguo had already come to his senses, but he still wouldn't back down: "You're too ruthless! At least give me something in return!"

The system was silent for a few seconds, as if weighing its options: "Alright. I can waive the commission on non-Red Alert units you manufacture using the Industrial Mothership, such as weapons."

Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up, but he didn't show it. He turned to Nannan and said, "Nannan, help me build a few more mining carts first, and then send them out to mine."

Nannan frowned, looking hesitant: "Brother, it's possible to build mining trucks using industrial mother machines, but it's so slow! Even if we speed up the time flow tenfold, it would still take about a month to build one outside."

Zhou Weiguo then slapped his forehead, realizing he hadn't unlocked the tank factory yet! He asked, "So what can Nannan build now?"

Nannan's eyes lit up: "I can make giant mushrooms! As long as you give me enough energy points, I can make you as many giant mushrooms as you want!"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
