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

Zhou Weiguo quickly waved his hand: "Elder Long, you flatter me. Elder Qin is just being genuine; we get along very well. However, the cave space is limited, and I doubt the missile boat can fit. I'll definitely let you both have a proper look next time."

More than half an hour later, Zhou Weiguo drove the two elderly people out of the tunnel.

Along the way, Old Qin marveled at the wonders of space and kept talking about it.

Upon exiting the tunnel, a group of fully armed soldiers were seen guarding the entrance shelter.

After giving some more instructions, the group drove back.

"What? You're going abroad?" Tian Zao looked at Zhou Weiguo with wide, almond-shaped eyes, her expression full of surprise.

Even Natasha, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and stared intently at him with piercing eyes.

Zhou Weiguo nodded solemnly with a determined expression: "That's right, I'm going out for a bit; there are some things to take care of. But don't worry, I should be back soon."

Tian Zao looked reluctant to part, clutching his arm tightly as if he would disappear if she let go: "Honey, can you take me with you? I don't want to leave you." Her voice was soft and sweet, full of coquettishness.

Zhou Weiguo gently patted Tian Zao's fair face and said with a warm smile, "I'm going on a mission, not just sightseeing. It would be dangerous for you to come with me. Stay home and be good. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Tian Zao pouted, looking unhappy, and turned her face away with a soft hum.

Zhou Weiguo turned to Natasha, his smile gentle: "So, do you want to stay in Beijing, or come with me on a trip?"

To his surprise, Natasha frowned and stared at him with a troubled expression.

This unusual reaction aroused Zhou Weiguo's suspicion. After all, Natasha would never have hesitated like this before. He had told her long ago that he would send her to Hong Kong in two years.

After thinking for a long time, Natasha finally spoke: "Young master, is it dangerous for you to go out like this? If so, I will go with you."

Seeing her like this, Zhou Weiguo felt increasingly strange, and his expression turned serious: "Natasha, has something happened?"

Natasha smiled broadly, gently stroking her belly before giving a meaningful smile.

Zhou Weiguo's heart skipped a beat. He suppressed his surging emotions and pretended to be nonchalant: "What's wrong? Did you eat too much?"

Natasha rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Yes, my little master fed me too much, and now I can't eat for a long time."

Zhou Weiguo then confirmed his suspicions and excitedly stepped forward to hug Natasha, his tone tinged with reproach: "How many months? Why didn't you say so sooner? You were so crazy yesterday."

"It's been two months. I only confirmed it during a checkup during the day." Natasha's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"You silly girl, shouldn't you women have already sensed this?" Zhou Weiguo said, feeling both sorry for her and helpless.

At this moment, Tian Zao also realized what was happening and hugged Natasha with a face full of surprise: "Natasha, you have a baby? Wow, that's amazing! I'm going to be a stepmother, honey, I'm going to be a stepmother!"

Seeing the two of them so excited, Zhou Weiguo was about to make a few teasing remarks when he noticed that Tian Zao was staring straight at him.

Before he could react, Tian Zao pounced on him, shouting, "I want a baby too! I want a baby too!"

The atmosphere in the room instantly became romantic. Perhaps it was because of the impending brief separation, or perhaps it was out of a desire to protect Natasha, but Tian Zao was unusually proactive today.

After all that commotion, she collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep. In the end, thanks to Natasha's help, the two of them were able to get some rest.

Zhou Weiguo was lying on a cargo ship bound for Hong Kong when a sudden system notification made him sit up abruptly. He locked the door to his private room and slipped into the virtual space.

As the fog cleared, two newly unlocked buildings came into view. Zhou Weiguo was taken aback and quickly asked, "Hey buddy, what's going on? What new features are included after the upgrade?"

"Host, after the upgrade, all units unlocked for the first time will automatically extract entities. Subsequent production will require energy points to perform either full extraction or random extraction."

"What's the use of the newly unlocked barracks and spy satellites?"

"Host, the barracks can directly mass-produce various clones, and only requires one-tenth of the fully extracted energy points, but it can only produce unlocked units."

What units can my barracks produce right now?

"Please select the option yourself on the main control interface."

As soon as he finished speaking, an electronic interface automatically popped up in Zhou Weiguo's mind. It was about 80% similar to the Red Alert game he had played in his previous life, but with a more futuristic feel. Opening the character interface, he was surprised to find options such as crossbowmen, spies, engineers, war dogs, Zhang Wei, Leng Feng, Bond, and Natasha. However, Natasha's option was black, indicating that only one hero unit could be produced at a time.

"Host, unlocking hero units will automatically unlock regular units. The first creation of a hero-level Red Alert unit is free. Reviving a hero-level Red Alert unit requires 500 energy points. Apart from the free units, only one more hero-level Red Alert unit can be created, which requires 1000 energy points. You can choose for yourself."

Zhou Weiguo asked in confusion, "Then why is my Natasha black? If I create another one, will it still be the same Natasha?"

"Host, your deep-sea mining vehicle has only been out for a few days. Let's check how many energy points you have. New hero units will not be the same as existing units."

After checking, Zhou Weiguo discovered he only had 600+ energy points in total, no wonder he couldn't create Natasha. He continued to ask, "Do ordinary units have an identity?"

"Only hero units come with an identity upon completion. Ordinary units are mass-produced at low cost in barracks, and their identities must be assigned by the host. By the way, spy satellites are weakened in space and can currently only detect a 1-kilometer radius around the host. They have global communication capabilities and come with 10 communicators initially. The host can use them inside buildings or communicate with each other using the communicators. Each communicator requires 10 energy points to manufacture inside the base vehicle."

"Can I build all these Red Alert units outside the base?"

"Yes, host, but don't even think about it in the short term. With only a few hundred energy points right now, you should try to earn more energy points first. Besides, there's a rather demanding requirement for building externally."

Mockingly from the system, Zhou Weiguo was a little annoyed. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Hey buddy, you said that unlocking for the first time would automatically reward you with a free hero unit. My Natasha and Dog were randomly generated. You're not trying to pocket my energy points, are you?"
