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

A thousand years ago, Earth was in turmoil, and some people fled to Mars to settle down.

After a thousand years of development, the surface environment of Mars has now been modified to be similar to that of Earth.

But Earth's ecosystem is irreplaceable.

Humans in space have discovered that some ecosystems cannot be artificially recreated on a large scale on the surface of Mars.

So they created an ecosystem, allowing certain ecosystems to develop within closed environments, exchanging only air and water resources with the larger environment.

Therefore, on the way from Stormwind to Lightning City where Zhou Tuk is located, Song Gua often sees some huge domed, transparent, hemispherical buildings.

Like greenhouses, they nurture many small ecosystems that mimic Earth's ecological environment.

Yue Sheng gave Song Gua a brief introduction to the current configuration of Mars.

First, there are the five earliest developed cities, which are now the largest inhabited cities on Mars.

Lightning, storm, Hou Tu (earth), heavenly water, falling clouds.

Besides these five major cities, there are also many small villages scattered across Mars.

They call it a "village" simply because the population living there is very small, perhaps only a few dozen or even a dozen households.

But they are not the same as a "village," even though the technology used in villages is just as advanced.

With the help of public, unmanned anti-gravity cruisers, the people in these villages can reach any city on Mars within a day.

It's worth mentioning that most of the public transportation and similar public facilities on Mars are free to use.

During his journey, Song Gua also saw unmanned cruise vehicles traveling, or rather flying, at different altitudes.

"Hey, Captain Yue, why are you still driving this kind of gasoline car? Why don't you drive an anti-gravity car? Those cars are obviously faster."

Yue Sheng said awkwardly.

"My current assets on Mars are only enough to buy a gasoline-powered car; anti-gravity cars are very expensive."

Moreover, anti-gravity systems are used for military purposes and require regular inspections, so private cars generally do not use anti-gravity systems.

If you really need to go to a far place, or if you're in a hurry, just call a cruiser.

Yue Sheng took Song Gua to see Zhou Tak, which was naturally not something urgent.

Drive slowly on the road, and you can also take Song Gua to learn about the current situation on Mars.

Yue Sheng continued his introduction.

Besides large cities and small villages, Mars also has research centers.

Those hemispherical "greenhouses" can be regarded as a kind of scientific research center.

The science city, developed around the research center, is mainly used for scientists and their families to live in.

These science cities are all named after their research centers.

The inhabitants of Mars place great importance on science, which is fundamental to their survival in this environment. As a result, scientific research is prevalent, and research centers can be found everywhere on Mars.

"Your father, Zhou Tuk, has his own research center, Tuk Science City. Although it has only been ten years, it is already very prosperous and is almost becoming a satellite city of Lightning City."

While driving in Yuesheng.

Song Gua seized the opportunity and quietly swapped positions, retrieving the clones that had already scattered across various parts of Mars.

There are indeed small drones tracking and monitoring these roaming bandits.

However, in the face of Magnet Brother's abilities, no matter how small these machines were, they had nowhere to hide, and Song Gua casually threw them into the stinking ditch.

The staff members staring at numerous screens in the monitoring room must be feeling extremely frustrated right now.

After they found all the "malfunctioning machines" and got them working again, not a single bandit could be found.

"Where have all the bandits gone?"

"I don't know, it seems we've lost them!"

"Fifty thousand bandits! Lost them all? How is that possible!"

"So many outsiders, their whereabouts unknown, pose a great risk."

"Report this to your superiors."

They naturally had to report it.

However, their final reply was certainly not to be taken too seriously.

With Miss Butterfly as a guarantor, the higher-ups of the Celestials won't be too suspicious of the bandits, because that's just how bandits are.

This is what Song Gua believes.

In fact, Miss Butterfly did provide a guarantee.

But Miss Butterfly's rank wasn't that high.

The more important reason is the man that Song Gua is going to see now.

"laugh……"

The SUV drove into Tucker Science City.

The towering metal buildings embody the technological achievements of the people in the sky.

Song Gua observed that some buildings on Mars automatically transformed into barriers to block the sandstorms, and through some strangely shaped fans, they could quickly gather the sand and dust, and then discharge it through pipes.

The city also features suspended car tracks and flight paths marked by beams of light.

And countless robots of all shapes and sizes, some providing services, some performing labor, are everywhere, in large numbers, more than the city's population.

"These robots look very intelligent. There are so many of them, yet they don't act chaotically. Each one does its own job, and they even know how to give directions, greet people, and help elderly ladies cross the street?"

Yue Sheng laughed.

"Of course, the technology of the celestial beings has already developed to this level, and AI has already broken through many bottlenecks."

"However, I still feel a bit clumsy, kind of adorably silly."

"This is intentional. The celestial beings have developed a ninth-generation AI that is virtually identical to human thinking, but it is not allowed to be used. They are only allowed to use the sixth-generation AI, which can communicate with humans but cannot think independently."

"To prevent an omnipotent crisis?"

"Yes, that's what Tucker said."

If there were a group of machines that thought like humans, then it would be no different from having an extra group of people.

Outsiders don't know what kind of lifestyle they want, what kind of social system they want, or what kind of wealth distribution they want.

To avoid such potential problems, they must be treated as 'machines,' not 'humans.'

There are no traffic lights on the roads here.

When pedestrians want to cross the road, the two parts of the overpass will quickly extend from both sides of the road and merge in the middle of the road.

Once no one is crossing, the overpass will retract on its own.

So Yue Sheng kept the accelerator pressed to the floor the whole way, and arrived at his destination in just a few hours.

"Alright, your father is right here."

The vehicle stopped in front of a luxurious silver villa.

The villa has no walls, but it has a huge lawn that surrounds it.

At first glance, I thought I had arrived at the grassland.

Scattered throughout this "grassland" are some buildings, including wooden villas for living and metal structure laboratories for scientific research.

On the edge of the "Grassland", many teams of robots equipped with weapons were patrolling. When they spotted a vehicle parked nearby, one team of robots immediately turned red and quickly moved towards it.

Patrol robot: "Identity verification—"

Yue Sheng got off the bus.

Patrol robot: "Yue Sheng, commander of the First Regiment of the Returning Army, lieutenant colonel, and friend of Mr. Zhou Tak, the most handsome scientist in the universe, may proceed. Alert lifted!"
