Of course, it would be even better if someone signed up.
If they could find the code to alter human genes and build an army of superhumans, they would be even more confident in fighting the apocalypse.
The press conference ended, and everyone left reluctantly, still wanting more.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan cleaned up the dishes and returned them to the cafeteria before taking their two children home.
After returning home, the first thing the couple did was to "brainwash" An'an and Nuan'nuan. After making the two children promise not to mention Li Sikai and the space in front of outsiders, the couple gave them some fruit to eat.
In the capital city, after the press conference ended and the cameras had just been turned off, Li Sikai lost his balance and fainted.
Li Zongmengguan was shocked, and the bigwigs present also looked frightened.
"What... what happened?"
"Get him to the hospital quickly!"
The group hurriedly took Li Sikai to the medical department. The staff member who went into the space to film, barely able to contain his excitement, witnessed a scene that made his eyes widen in horror.
He had been inside the space and knew its importance to humanity. If something happened to Li Sikai, it would be a major blow to humanity.
But he wasn't qualified to keep up; he was just a junior reporter who had been called in by his superiors to do the reporting.
He sighed deeply and could only help the guards clean up the mess. He was then reminded that he absolutely mustn't tell anyone about what had happened today.
The young reporter nodded, indicating that he understood the seriousness of the matter.
Li Sikai was taken to the hospital, where tests revealed no problems with his bodily functions. The doctors and nurses were also baffled as to why he had fallen into a coma.
Upon hearing this, General Li had a vague suspicion in his mind. He composed himself and told everyone to go back to their work, while he would stay at the hospital.
The bigwigs were somewhat uneasy, but seeing the expression on General Manager Li's face, they knew he wouldn't joke about his nephew's life, so they nodded and left.
The league has a lot to do; they can't just sit here doing nothing.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Sikai's family came and went, but only General Li stayed here the whole time and hardly slept.
Qiu Man felt sorry for him and advised him to go and rest.
But General Li refused, and he said regretfully, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let him do that mission."
Even though he knew that Li Sikai had become the hope of Qinghua Kingdom, he selfishly did not want his nephew to suffer the same fate.
Qiu Man opened his mouth, but finally sighed. What could he say? Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to reconcile.
Li Zongmengguan was so immersed in grief that he didn't notice Li Sikai's fingers twitch.
It was Li Sikai who woke up and called out in a hoarse voice, "Uncle." Only then did General Li come to his senses and look at him with incredibly gentle eyes.
"You're awake. Are you alright?" Chief Li's voice was choked with emotion.
Li Sikai nodded: "It's nothing, just a side effect of the space upgrade."
He could actually hear the noises outside, but he just couldn't wake up.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright," said General Li.
Li Sikai felt that his body, which had been lying down for three days, was not stiff, so he sat up, looked around, and asked, "Is this a hospital?"
"Well, what else could it be? Didn't you realize you fainted and scared us all?"
Li Sikai smiled sheepishly: "I didn't know the space upgrade would be like this. I just lack experience. I'll be fine next time."
Li Zongmengguan glared at him, about to say, "You want a next time?" when he realized that this was something he had to go through.
He was filled with deep remorse: "Xiao Kai, it's all my fault."
Li Sikai shook his head: "Please don't say that, I did all of this willingly."
Even if it weren't him, someone else would have. But if the space equipment fell into someone else's hands, not only would he be worried, but the entire Li family would be on guard. It's better this way; although their family holds high positions and great power, they all have the heart to serve the country and its people.
General Li patted him on the shoulder: "Go see a doctor for a check-up. If everything's fine, you can be discharged. Your uncles and elders have been worried sick for days."
"Okay, sure," Li Sikai replied with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiu Man went to call the doctor. After the doctor examined them and confirmed that they could be discharged, the group packed their bags and returned to the office building.
When Mao Mengguan saw the lively and energetic Li Sikai, he forcefully held back the tears that were about to well up in his eyes.
"Xiao Kai, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, Uncle Mao, I'm fine. It's just that the space upgrade caused some aftereffects."
"Upgraded? That's wonderful! Xiao Kai, you're truly a lucky star for our Qinghua Kingdom! How's the space after the upgrade? Is it bigger?"
Li Sikai used his consciousness to check and nodded: "It's much bigger than before, it's a thousand acres."
"A thousand acres of farmland, that's really amazing! Based on a yield of about two thousand catties per acre, plus one harvest per month, the space's monthly output is two million catties of grain."
That's 24 million catties of grain a year. Assuming an adult male eats one catty of grain a day, the space could support at least 67,000, nearly 70,000 people.
Although it's not a lot, it will relieve a lot of pressure on the guard team. Plus, with later upgrades, its future potential is immeasurable.
Li Sikai smiled and said, "You can double the population."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I'm currently planting mostly mutated seeds in my space. They mature much faster, taking about half a month to harvest. This space upgrade has also improved the grain varieties. As long as the faith points are sufficient, they can mature in about ten days."
Mao Mengguan stared wide-eyed, as if asking if it was true.
Li Sikai nodded: "I'm not kidding you."
"What if these seeds were taken outside?"
Li Sikai smiled helplessly: "It's still the same as before, just a bit fuller and tastes a bit better. In the space, with the support of spatial power and faith points, it can grow so fast."
"Oh, I see!" Mao Mengguan said with some regret, but he was a man who knew how to be content.
General Li looked towards the conference room and, seeing that everyone had arrived, said to Li Sikai, "Take us in and have a look."
Li Sikai nodded and collected everyone into his spatial dimension. The powerful figures, seeing the land area significantly larger than before, were all moved to tears.
"This is wonderful. This is our last haven. We must protect it well."
"Look, isn't the extra black soil so fertile? I really want to stay here and farm!"
“Sure, as long as you arrange the work properly, General Li will definitely be able to fulfill your wish.”
"Hey, I was just saying, just kidding. But this place really is nice, a true paradise."
Li Sikai noticed that all the previously immature grains had ripened, and the trees that had just been harvested were bearing fruit again.
Even in the middle of the land, a winding stream has appeared. It seems this is a perk of the space upgrade.
Several guards ran over, excitedly reporting their discovery to the leaders.
General Li nodded and asked with a smile, "Have you been alright these past two days?"
