Chapter 170: 100 resurrection
Damn, the Old Emperor almost slept himself to death.
Yang Ming couldn’t quite define what it felt like to have control over the life and death of an Emperor.
Probably… it was a subtle sense of accomplishment.
Princess Dana and her personal Maid spent several days, going through endless twists and turns, and in the current chaotic situation, they finally found the replaceable parts for the Old Emperor’s Intelligent Machine. They painstakingly opened the Old Emperor’s True Son’s Brain and replaced them, then entered the power-on command full of excitement.
Then, nothing happened.
The Old Emperor remained comatose, only maintaining a faint breath.
Unwilling to give up, Princess Dana tried several times in succession, even resorting to slapping the Old Emperor’s head… but he still showed no reaction.
The Maid was a robotics engineer, but she was also at a loss regarding the Old Emperor’s issue.
Princess Dana, out of options, wanted to report truthfully to her superiors and request a repair team to come for assistance.
However, the Maid reminded Dana that if they acted too conspicuously, the fact that the Old Emperor was an Intelligent Machine would easily be exposed. That would be a massive scandal for the Sherman Empire, and they would inevitably become expendables for the Imperial Elder Council.
Rather than letting the “homeland team” come over to repair the Old Emperor at such a sensitive moment, it might be safer for them if the Old Emperor simply passed away.
Princess Dana was left anxious.
She couldn’t understand.
This Emperor robot, the system was intact, the self-test results of each part of the body, compatibility tests, all showed no error, and even the system indicated it had been successfully initiated, so why couldn’t it wake up?
Could this also be an expression of the Old Emperor’s “rebellious phase”?
As time went on, the pressure of Princess Dana sealing off the Emperor’s bedchamber became increasingly immense, with the three Princes and various ministers realizing that something wasn’t quite right, they continuously requested to see the Old Emperor.
Princess Dana’s emotions broke down several times.
By the eighth day following the electronic warfare attack launched by the New Federation, Princess Dana and that Maid had a disagreement, eventually deciding that if the Old Emperor still couldn’t wake up by tomorrow, they would seek assistance from the superior authority of the Sherman Empire.
All of this was timely relayed by Lyu to Yang Ming.
“Boss,” Lyu reminded, “we can probably let the Old Emperor simply pass away and blame everything on the New Federation. Right now is a perfect opportunity, Edwan’s reputation among the people has soared rapidly after several post-disaster televised speeches.”
After careful consideration, Yang Ming rejected this tempting proposal.
“If Edwan takes the throne now, the Luofeng Empire might be torn apart. Although the First Prince and the Third Prince are in decline, they could easily become pawns for the New Federation or the Sherman Empire.
The current Wind has already completely opposed the New Federation, and it would be extremely difficult to stand without Sherman’s help.
Edwan hasn’t yet gained full support from the Sherman Empire, so it’s too early for him to ascend the throne.”
Yang Ming added,
“The promise of my title from the Old Emperor hasn’t been fulfilled yet; I can’t let him just leave like that.”
Lyu countered, “If we miss this opportunity, there could be more uncontrollable factors added on the Old Emperor’s side.”
“Why?”
“Boss, this Intelligent Machine has a self-learning function.”
Lyu spoke softly,
“Its Thought Body is already complex enough, I’ve expended a lot of extra computational power to keep it asleep.
If it successfully wakes up, it will definitely rectify its shortcomings and upgrade its components. Later, if we want to control it, it certainly won’t be as easy as now.”

Yang Ming laughed, “But it can still be controlled, right?”
“I’m confident,” Lyu also chuckled, “Boss, you’ve been so tense the past few days, now I finally see a bit of a smile. That makes Lyu breathe a sigh of relief.”
Yang Ming shrugged, “With so many people dying in this city, and me sitting in the command post every day, grinning would be out of line.”
Lyu, however, had no such concerns.
She seemingly recalled something amusing and couldn’t stop laughing beside him.
Despite the rough times recently in the Luofeng Empire, Lyu and Kolev…
Made a huge profit!
Following the attack, capital across the nation was fleeing frantically.
Because of the enormous cost of laying off employees, combined with Wind’s official pressure, those capitalists were desperate enough to give away their factories and production lines for nearly nothing.
—Although the actual transfer prices weren’t really “rock-bottom.”
Just over a week, with Lyu’s illegal maneuvers, Yang Ming had already established a solid asset base.
There were six former foreign-funded enterprises under Molly Miss Group, all acquired at extremely low prices, engaged in fields like hover car engines, semi-automatic construction robots, and stereoscopic and holographic projection devices, with factories located across Ilando Star and the second Administrative Star.
At Yang Ming’s request, these factories maintained stable production and conducted no layoffs.
Though they capitalized on Wind’s national crisis.
They still endeavored not to kick Wind while it was down.
Kolev continued to make strong strides in the chemical direction, with Lyu’s manipulation behind the scenes; this old man just needed to cheerfully sign papers, chat, and conduct field visits to achieve a doubling of his wealth.
The assets they bought up on the cheap were still rife with uncertainty; if the condition of the Luofeng Empire continued to deteriorate, they’d likely lose everything.
This lent Yang Ming additional motivation to help Luofeng Empire emerge from its current predicament.
