Chapter 22: Robots Can Also Create

  Li Yang happily said: "Hehe, it's okay. What's with those workers?"

  "These workers are absolutely not ordinary people herding sheep!"

  "Don't tell me it's yours, I'll collapse if you say that!"

  "Haha, you little brat can go collapse now. To a certain extent, the 860 workers in the factory are indeed my creations."

  "I'm speechless! Can you still have children?"

  "I'm the greatest spaceship in the universe, isn't it a big deal to create these robots? However, don't get me wrong, they're just machines I made after studying Earth's energy systems and scientific technology. They're completely different from the robots made on planet Gilliston. They can't transform, use electricity as power, and with supercapacitor storage technology, one charge can last for two years of autonomous operation. They look like humans, are ten times stronger than humans, and apart from being able to communicate with us telepathically, they're just machines."

  "Ah, so that's how it is! I was thinking these people were all like you and the mining ship, defying the heavens!"

  "It's impossible. The planet of Gilis Town also took 5,000 years to exhaust the entire planet's resources and energy to create me and the mining ship."

  "If you can create robots, why didn't you create one for me to exchange for money when I couldn't afford the 600 yuan rent? Even if it couldn't be exchanged for money, sending them to construction sites as laborers would still earn a lot of wages!" Li Yang exclaimed.

  "You didn't ask me if I could build a robot back then?" Xīng Nǎo said with a hint of grievance.

  Dizzy, blaming himself for not asking, Li Yang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

  Now I have so much money that I can't spend it all, and I don't need these robots to work hard to earn money at all. It's the same whether they're here or not.

  "Ah, I see! Haha, thank you so much, Flying Disc little brother!"

  "You little scamp, if you want to repay my kindness, just dig up more diamonds for me in the future."

  "By the way, Flying Saucer little brother, why did you build my factory in this desolate mountain where birds don't even lay eggs? Wouldn't it be better to build it in the southeastern suburbs?"

  "You're silly, the land in the suburbs of Dongnan City all have owners, and suddenly a factory appears out of nowhere, wouldn't that scare people to death?"

  This place isn't great, but I've checked it out and there's no human activity within a hundred miles. Building the factory here won't surprise anyone too much. I even had a 100-kilometer-long gravel road specially built to connect the mountain to the outside world. As for how to explain the sudden appearance of this wide stone road in the mountains, that's up to you to figure out.

  I found that there is a large iron ore mine here, and a small coal mine. Two hundred meters underground, not far away, there is also a gold mine with rich reserves. This can explain why you can produce special steel and gold. Now, even if your group company sends professional personnel to inspect, they won't be able to find any flaws.

  "Now the only thing lacking is a permit to mine and build factories in this place, which belongs to the barren land of the Taihang Mountains. Your group company should be able to get these documents for you, shouldn't it?"

  After Lei Yang understood the whole story, he completely put his mind at ease. The almost almighty flying saucer shocked him again.

  "Huh......where is this?" Liu Xia finally woke up.

  The bed in the back of the car was very comfortable, she had just fallen asleep beautifully, but the police's professional habit made her not continue to sleep soundly, and her body woke up automatically as soon as it recovered a little.

  "Officer Liu, aren't you supposed to inspect my factory? We've arrived!" Lei Yang now had a sense of confidence, and his words came out straight and strong.

  "Really? Let me take a look!" Liu Xia jumped up and took one glance, indeed it was a huge factory!

  "Please, Comrade Policeman, come and take a look with me?" Li Yang opened the car door and made a welcoming gesture.

  Liu Xia followed Li Yang into this factory that appeared in the depths of the mountain, and couldn't help but be stunned.

  Although she found that there were obviously fewer workers in this factory, and their eyes were dull and only knew how to work, she couldn't deny that it was a modernized metal smelting factory.

  After seeing the huge steel furnaces and the iron ore, coal mines and gold mines that went deep underground, Liu Xia felt extremely shocked. Until now, she finally believed that she had misunderstood Li Yang, and he really did have the ability to smelt steel and gold.

  Liu Xia took out a small camera and took some photos while following Li Yang, who spent an hour in the factory before feeling satisfied.

  On her way back, she was like a different person, smiling and apologizing profusely to Li Yang for disturbing his studies.

  She originally thought Li Yang was a scammer, but after really seeing that he was a successful entrepreneur, she felt very guilty.

  "Li Yang, I'm really sorry. It seems that you are indeed a great entrepreneur and I misunderstood the whole thing. But earlier when I asked you about your factory, why did you avoid eye contact and didn't have any confidence?" Liu Xia asked softly.

  At this time, they were already driving back. Hearing her ask like that, Li Yang shook his head and sighed: "Isn't it because Officer Liu is as beautiful as a flower, making me infatuated and forget myself?"

  "Nonsense! Li Yang, answer me properly."

  "Haha, Officer Liu, let me put it this way, the special steel produced by my factory uses a new type of technology, which is a business secret and also the core secret of our company. When you asked about it, I naturally got nervous."

  Liu Xia nodded and said: "Oh, I see. It was my fault this time. Now I formally apologize to you!"

  "Is apologizing enough? My time is very valuable, do you know how much money I've lost because of the trouble you've caused me? I'll go back and complain to your director, let him compensate for my economic losses!" Lei Yang said half-jokingly.

  "Are you saying I should file a complaint with the municipal bureau director?" Liu Xia's eyes suddenly had a hint of a smile.

  "Of course, our Nanfeng Group has a good relationship with your Municipal Bureau, are you scared? Just wait to be stripped of your police uniform!"

  "Heh heh, go ahead and complain to him then. I'll just tell my dad that you kidnapped me and tried to take liberties with me. Who do you think he'll believe?"

  "I'm lodging a complaint with the director, what's it got to do with your dad?...... Wait a minute, are you saying that your dad is the city bureau director?"

  "Haha, you're clever! How about it, are you going to sue me?"

  "You're something else! You and your daughter must be thick as thieves. I'd be surprised if I could win a lawsuit against you. Forget it, let's just go somewhere cooler to have some fun."

  "Don't get angry either, helping the police solve cases is a duty that every citizen should fulfill."

  "I've been defeated by you. Even if I have a lot of wealth and property, in front of your great police force, I'm still just a commoner, and it's only right that I should be oppressed by you."

  "Fine words, how did they change flavor when they reached your mouth? Have I ever oppressed you?"

  "How could I not be hurt? The day before yesterday, someone knocked me down and trampled on me."

  "You rascal, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Are you itching for a fight? Watch it or I'll have you arrested right now!"

  Li Yang's face was flushed with a smile, and he obediently stretched out his hands, but Liu Xia didn't grab him, instead she slapped his smelly hand to the side.

  She opened the armrest box beside her and took out the large gold brick.

  "Li Yang, can you tell me why you, who are younger than me, have built such a large factory and accumulated so much wealth? Just this one gold bar alone is probably more than many people could earn in several lifetimes."

  "What's wrong with you? Are you also going to follow me and learn from me? Kneel down and kowtow a few times before we talk."

  "Knock your big head! I'm just curious, who needs your stinky money!"

  Two people bickered all the way, took a bus speeding along, and didn't feel lonely at all.

  Back in Dongnan City, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Li Yang dropped off Police Flower Liu Xia at her motorcycle and then rushed to the hospital.

  Upon arriving at the hospital, Lei Tianjun's bedside was piled high with a large quantity of fruit, including grapes, bananas, and apples. On the floor, there was also a huge flower basket with a card that read: "Ling Nan, CEO of Nanfeng Group, visiting on behalf of all employees to show respect to our group's family member, Old Master Lei Tianjun." Ling Nan's grand gesture made Lei Yang feel a bit embarrassed.

  He is a shareholder of Nanfeng Group and now he doesn't even know which direction the gate of his company faces, but he has received such meticulous care that it makes him feel a bit ashamed.

  The caregiver hired by the company for his father was called Xiaoyang, a diligent middle-aged woman. She helped Lí Tiān Jūn with meals and cleaning, allowing Wáng Fāng to be freed from her duties. Two days passed, although Lí Tiān Jūn's condition remained unchanged, but Wáng Fāng had a rare smile on her face.

  As soon as Li Yang entered the ward and greeted his father, he was pulled aside by Wang Fang. Wang Fang asked in a low voice, "Child, Officer Liu called to say that she wants you to assist her with a case, what kind of case is it?"

  Liyang Xin said what kind of case she could have, obviously this little girl relied on her having a public security bureau director father, and was meddling in other people's business.

  But he dared to think so, but did not dare to say it to his mother. He gave Wang Fang a smile and said: "Mom, nothing else, Officer Liu just asked me how the fat landlord beat up my dad, don't worry about it."

  Wang Fang finally felt at ease, and she said to Li Yang: "Yangzi, you've only been working at Nanfeng Group for one day, and they're already paying your salary and arranging for your father's hospitalization. You must work hard and follow their lead from now on!

  No, studying is more important. Whatever you're doing now, stop it and hurry back to school to review your lessons. If you can't get into college, I'm afraid Nanfeng Group will fire you!

  I don't know if the leaders of Nanfeng Group are out of their minds, how could they hire a high school student like you as an advisor?

  The president of Nanfeng Group also said that you can rest assured to go to school, the group will pay you a monthly salary, 5,000 yuan per month!

  I used to follow the song and dance troupe, suffering from wind and sun, just earning a thousand or two. You young man don't have to do anything and can earn five thousand yuan, it's really unfair!

  "Right, they said they already gave you a salary of 5,000 yuan for the month, but you only handed over 2,000 to me. Where's the other 3,000? Hurry up and hand it over! You're holding onto so much money, aren't you afraid of wasting it?"
