The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

(The following paragraphs are best enjoyed with the music from Iron Man 1 when Tony Stark appears.)

"♫Deng...Deng deng deng! Deng deng..."

Inside the swaying armored jeep, upbeat dance music blared through the cabin.

Zhou Tak, dressed in a purple suit, held a glass of iced orange juice in his hand and slowly took a sip as the car swayed.

He wore a pair of stylish orange-red sunglasses and sported a sexy mustache and a mane.

In the co-pilot's seat, the soldier wearing a single-soldier exoskeleton glanced back excitedly, but seeing Zhou Tak looking at him, he quickly sat up straight.

"Soldier, I bet you're thinking, 'Oh, the great God of Liberty, the brightest star scientist on all of Mars, is sitting right behind me. I should take a picture with him and get his autograph, but how do I even ask?'"

The soldier in the co-pilot blushed as he spoke.

"You, you truly are the most intelligent man in all of humanity, seeing right through my thoughts. So, may I..."

"No, the autograph and photo opportunity are only available to female fans."

As he spoke, he gently tucked the hand of a soldier sitting next to him back into his pocket.

"If you take photos of me secretly, I will sue you for violating my portrait rights."

An awkward atmosphere filled the car.

Until Zhou Tak finished drinking the orange juice.

"If there's a perfect glass of chilled orange soda in this car, then taking a photo with it is also an option."

Inside the jeep, cheers and shouts of joy filled the air.

The convoy sped across the rusty red Martian soil, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.

Looking up, the Martian sky was surprisingly blue.

This indicates that there is an atmosphere in the sky scattering sunlight, and there is also a high probability that an ozone layer exists.

Ahead of the convoy, on the horizon, a steel jungle appeared.

This is a Martian city where all building materials are various metals.

There is a lot of vegetation around and inside the city, forming well-distributed green belts, windbreaks, and sand-prevention forests.

Along the way, looking to both sides of the road, you can see large areas of dense man-made forests.

In some places, you can vaguely see huge glass domes covering an area, simulating some of Earth's ecosystems, such as oceans, grasslands, and farmlands.

Just as Zhou Tak was mingling with the soldiers in the vehicle, his watch beeped.

"Feed? Don't speak, let me guess. This should be your seventh call. My AI assistant judged that what you want to say must be very urgent, so it didn't block the seventh call, right? Tell me, is it the seventh time?"

A helpless voice came from the other end of the watch phone.

"Yes."

"It seems that the logic for this needs to be optimized. It should wait until you make seventy calls before choosing not to block you."

"Stop playing around, my great scientist Zhou! The entire Martian population is waiting for you to announce the application of 'Destiny Child,' why are you still on your way?"

"I went to the Lightning Army's assembly line and gave them a bunch of useful advice that will last a lifetime. Their commander was very grateful to me and treated me to a night out in Skywater last night."

Now, he's sending a whole convoy of armored soldiers to take me to the venue.

Go investigate him later; I suspect he's embezzled funds—the funds are excessively abundant.

The soldiers riding in the same vehicle as Zhou Tak were shocked.

Zhou Tuk also reminded them, "Don't tell Commander Lightning that I exposed him, thank you."

The soldiers had complex expressions.

"Hurry up, I can only give you one more Mars hour."

"You've worked hard. I can give you my governing ideas and a bunch of useful advice later. I also have a good understanding of the humanities."

"Alright... Oh right, I heard from the Storm Army's First Military Hospital that Yue Sheng has woken up. Once you're done here today, go and see him."

Zhou Tak, who was playing with the chilled orange juice, visibly stopped what he was doing.

A faint hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Then he said to the driver, "Please ask your commander to allocate more embezzled funds. You still need to take me to Yue Sheng's place tonight."

The driver gave an awkward laugh, "This is normal expense, normal..."

Three hours later, Zhou Tak arrived at the podium of the highest-level scientific exhibition conference on Mars.

Facing tens of thousands of scientists and scientific professionals in the audience, he adjusted his sunglasses and spoke with composure and great personal charm.

"A thousand years ago, we came to Mars to explore new territories. At that time, the elder Ji Kaiwu proposed the theory of the 'Three Origin Components'."

He believes that there are three types of particles in the universe with extremely special physical properties. They can actively exhibit certain unique characteristics without reacting with other particles to form atoms, molecules, etc.

Through our subsequent research and searching, the existence of homons and energies has been confirmed, and they are being widely used in our efforts to terraform Mars and build armies.

Hengzi ensures that our machines, no matter how large they are, can be firmly coupled together.

Energons provide us with a portable and powerful energy source.

Today, I will demonstrate to you the existence of a third particle and its applications, both past and future.

Its emergence will enable us to achieve our goal of returning to Earth in this generation!

An animated symbol appeared on the big screen, followed by two words: "Destiny Child!"

Below the words "命子" (Ming Zi), there is a line of text that briefly introduces "命子".

—Let great lives no longer be fragile!

……

Moon.

On the grayish-white lunar surface, a fighter jet transformed from a GD series mech was slowly gliding across the lunar surface.

Not far away, you can see many large, charred craters, as if some kind of explosion had just occurred not long ago.

Leon sat alone in the cockpit of the fighter jet, in intelligent driving mode, holding a square transparent screen in his hand.

He was watching a live stream from Mars where Zhou Tak announced the use of "Mingzi" technology.

However, because of the distance, what he saw was basically a slideshow.

"Damn it, are the communications departments just sitting around doing nothing? Why aren't they maintaining the quantum communication line between Mars and the Moon? They can't just keep maintaining the military lines and ignore the civilian ones!"

Civilian use is of course not a concern.

Because there are no "civilians" on the moon at all.

Leon dared not use the military lines because he was currently on duty, and if he were caught secretly watching the live broadcast while on duty, he would be punished.

In the battle of Glory City, he gained nothing and even had Miss Butterfly take Yue Sheng back to Mars.

The Starfleet leader was very dissatisfied with Leon, the frontline vanguard, and demoted him three ranks, sentencing him to patrol the moon.

Originally, with the battle raging on the moon, he might have had a chance to earn some military merits and be promoted back while patrolling the moon.

However, due to the invasion of the Abyss, the allied forces withdrew to Earth and later proposed peace talks.

This resulted in only the Celestials and Dark Star People remaining on the lunar battlefield.

Before the peace negotiations on Blue Star ended, the Celestials also adopted a policy of withdrawing their troops, not wanting to fight to the death with the Dark Star people, which would ultimately benefit Blue Star.

However, even though they weren't fighting, the Dark Star people still had a breach on the moon and were continuously sending Dark Star life forms over.

Therefore, the celestial beings left some people here to patrol and monitor the actions of the Dark Star people.

"Warning: Dark energy detected ahead. Please be careful!"
