Although there were some unexpected events, the opening of the three-zone channel is an inevitable trend and will happen sooner or later.

Furthermore, Yang Jia was the first to sense this change, which wasn't a bad thing for them. At least they could prepare and respond in advance, so they wouldn't be caught off guard.

Furthermore, while this would reduce their advantage in satellite launches, it still existed. How they capitalized on this advantage would also determine their attitude and position in future interactions with the other two districts.

If you can take the initiative, it will naturally be of great benefit.

Therefore, Yang Jia and Li Bai didn't let this state of panic last too long. Those thoughts and worries could be left for later. During the party affairs, they had to seize time and make arrangements for the next thing.

"Logically speaking, the merger of the three districts is a big deal. After all, the system is a system and has its own rules to follow. And in its usual style, it should issue tasks." Yang Jia was the first to raise his own questions.

After all, the three districts were separated by endless mountains and oceans, unlike two cities, separated by a transparent barrier that would allow for immediate travel once the barrier disappeared. These three districts had never been connected before, so the impact of this connection shouldn't be small.

What Yang Jia got was more of a revelation than accurate news. In fact, this thing has not happened yet, or even if it has happened, it still needs an opportunity for it to officially appear.

But now, the back of her card was blank, and there was no task that would appear before every key change.

Li Bai took the ID card from Yang Jia, rubbed it for a moment, and said, "Either there is no mission this time, or—this mission is too big for you to do alone, and you don't need to do it alone."

"What do you mean?" Yang Jia was a little confused.

But Li Bai did not explain, because she didn't know what form this would take. After all, there was no precedent to refer to.

"If you can't figure it out, forget it," Yang Jia said finally. "We just need to know that this is the general trend and be prepared before it happens. Fortunately, the Chinese region has been barely held together. Even if the other two regions want to intervene, it won't be that easy."

This reminded Li Bai, "You're right, maybe we should go over there and get involved."

The real world is bustling right now, and the top management will not focus on this game.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the role it can play has been achieved and there is no need to care about it as much as before.

Especially the other two regions, they fell behind step by step, and all the momentum gathered in the Chinese region. They were just following along to make up the numbers, and their investment in the game was destined not to be as large as that of the Chinese region.

Therefore, it is very easy to add sand into it.

This proposal was approved by Yang Jia. Li Bai and Zhuo Tianyang immediately exited the game to make specific arrangements. Their connections were all in real life, and communication with the other two zones in the game wasn't working, so this was the only option for the time being.

As for Yang Jia, he led the rest of the people to continue preparing for the upcoming changes.

I don’t know what will happen exactly, but it’s always a good idea to stockpile so much supplies and prepare for war.

In addition, various research projects cannot stop and need to continue. Who knows when one of them will be useful?

There was indeed not much time left for them, because one day later, Yang Jia received a piece of news that was completely beyond his expectations.

——Someone salvaged a person from another district on the beach.

No one died; they were simply unconscious from drowning. What washed ashore with them was clearly shipwreckage. Based on the scene, it seems someone from one of the other two districts had been out at sea in a boat when a storm swept them to the shore of the Chinese district.

No matter how big the storm was, it was impossible to drive the ship directly from the European and American regions to the Chinese region. In other words, the ship was originally going to the Chinese region, but encountered a storm nearby, and eventually the ship was destroyed and the people sank. Fortunately, they did not die in the belly of the fish, but were blown ashore.

Although the probability of this happening is so low that it can be almost ignored, it is certainly possible under the operation of the system.

Yes, Yan Jia had already guessed that this should be the system's way of "opening up the three-zone channel."

Even if the system is to do things, it must abide by the Basic Law. It is impossible to suddenly eliminate all the obstacles between the three districts. The only thing people on both sides can do is to travel through mountains and rivers to find a way out.

This stupid method was completely beyond Yang Jia's expectations, but it was also reasonable.

Therefore, even the people sent out were not players, but NPCs. Those who discovered these people on the beach were also NPCs, not players. If Yang Jia hadn't already instructed us to pay attention to unusual situations in various places, the news might not have been transmitted so quickly.

Because NPCs are the objects that the system can truly control. As for players, it can only take advantage of the situation and push them in the direction it wants through tasks and other means.

At this point, there was no need to speculate; Yang Jia naturally gathered everyone for a meeting. Not only were members of the Nirvana Guild present, but key members from other guilds were also present. Although Yang Jia had now connected all the maps, she had not demanded that the guilds disband, so everyone continued to operate as they had before.

Except for the Dawn Guild.

Of course, Yang Jia wouldn't reveal everything he knew about the system. He simply mentioned the impending merger of the three districts. Bai Shu couldn't help but frown slightly. "Discovering a sunken ship and drowned people at this time should be a hint from the system, right? What we need to do next is build a ship and sail out to find another piece of land on the other side of the sea?"

"The latest news, I haven't had time to report yet." Bai Ting said, "The people who were washed up have woken up. They are from the Americas."

Even when Lei Ming sat down, his back was still straight. Upon hearing this, he said, "So, the way to get here from Europe might not be by sea?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but look to the north.

Although there was no map before them, everyone present knew that crossing the mountains north of the Chinese region would lead to the European region. This was something they had been taught since childhood, and it could be considered basic common sense.

If people from the European region did not come from the sea, they could only cross mountains and rivers and travel by land.

It's hard to say which one is more dangerous, but taking the mountain road will undoubtedly take longer. So now the people in the Americas have arrived, but the people in the Europeans are still on their way?

"The other two districts have already done this, so of course we have to act quickly," Bai Ting said. "But we don't have any experience in shipbuilding. As for the north, it's impossible to get there without building a road, right?"

Zhuo Tianyang suddenly laughed at this moment.

He had been lazily leaning back in his chair, but when he saw everyone's attention was focused on him, he reluctantly sat up straight. But it was only for a moment. He leaned forward again, resting his left elbow on the table, his palm supporting his face. He smiled and let everyone look at him for a while before saying, "I say, we are not really savages who have walked out of primitive ignorance. Why do we have to follow in other people's footsteps?"

"you mean?"

"Building ships and roads is too troublesome. Can't we build airplanes?" Zhuo Tianyang said naturally, "Although we haven't done this before, we have already conducted research in this area. Besides, airplanes are many times faster than ships and cars."

"That's right!" Xuan Zijie, who had been with Zhuo Tianyang before, couldn't help but slam his hand on the table. "With the technological level of the real world as support, we don't need to follow the path of human technological development. We can just go straight to the most advanced one."

Perhaps it's because I've been in the game for so long and have become accustomed to the level of technology in the game, so I subconsciously choose a more primitive method. But the system doesn't specify which method to use, right?

Yang Jia took a quick look and saw that everyone else also had a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces, so he knew that this proposal should have been supported by everyone.

Indeed, compared to building ships and roads, building airplanes is much more acceptable.

Not to mention the sheer size of the game world, there's always a need for developing this type of transportation. Just the efficiency of airplanes is far superior to other forms of transportation. Furthermore, in addition to civilian passenger aircraft, military aircraft like reconnaissance and bombers can also be developed, thus deterring the enemy from all three fronts: land, sea, and air.

With the cooperation of monitoring satellites, aircraft are the real killer weapons.

"That's it," Yang Jia agreed. "All guilds should gather their researchers in this area and send them to Phoenix City. We'll work hard to achieve results as soon as possible. Qin Yan, you coordinate this matter and keep track of the progress."

Qin Yan gave an unexpected answer, "Actually, we already have a plane. I was just busy with the satellite, so I didn't have time to tell you. The plane has just been built and has been test-flown outside the city. It's still being adjusted. Although this first-generation plane probably can't fly over mountains and oceans, it should be able to improve on this basis very quickly."

Yang Jia was once again thankful that he had lit up the technology tree early on and recruited countless researchers, including those who were dedicated to their work. At times like this, he could often get some small surprises from them.

The author has something to say: Zhuo Tianyang: "We can build airplanes!"

Everyone: Congratulations, blind student, you have discovered the highlight.
