Niu Dazhuang asked curiously, "Are our people still engaged in scientific and technological research and development? How many new gadgets and high-tech things are there that we don't know about? Can you tell us about them?"
Yan Bo gave Niu Dazhuang a look, letting him figure it out himself. Niu Dazhuang understood immediately and said with some disappointment, "It seems it's not possible."
Seeing that he had become sensible again, Yan Bo comforted him: "Try to live another ten or twenty years. When the world situation changes again, you should be able to know everything you want to know."
Niu Dazhuang felt it was pointless: "There might be new secrets going on by then. Forget it, I'd better live in the present. These things are not my concern anyway."
Yan Bo smiled, glanced at Li Ke who was standing quietly to the side, and continued to move his hands, making a few more adjustments on the control panel.
Yan Bo's teammate, who had been standing silently at the back, saw Yan Bo's actions, walked up, took out a microcomputer slightly larger than his palm from his pocket, placed it in his hand, and began operating it with one hand.
It really was a miniature computer. Li Ke and Niu Dazhuang's eyes were drawn to the thing in the man's hand. The computer was unfolded, and the base was covered with a keyboard of tiny letters and symbols.
Li Ke was wondering how to operate such a tiny ant button when the other person's fingers were as thick as a normal man's.
Then they saw the other party pull out a thin stylus from the hinge. Li Ke and Niu Dazhuang were both silent for a moment, it seemed that they had been limited just now.
With this small pen, his teammate was typing rapidly on the keyboard. Li Ke could only watch as his hands were creating afterimages. He didn't know if he didn't want them to see or if he really needed to be that fast.
At this speed, and with the astronomical codes on the screen, even if they saw them clearly, they wouldn't understand what they meant.
After the operation was completed, Yan Bo's teammate nodded and said, "Video communication is now possible."
Yan Bo said somewhat apologetically, "The conditions and equipment are basic, so it took a little longer than usual. I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Li Ke said expressionlessly, "Let's begin."
Yan Bo said, "We're already in contact, and we'll be able to connect via video call soon."
Although Li Ke appeared outwardly calm, he was still somewhat shaken inside. After the apocalypse, communications were destroyed. Although they were later repaired, they had always relied mainly on radio communication.
Video communication seems to have become obsolete, and since they are still at sea, the microcomputer was placed next to the large screen in the communications room, with the displays on the two screens synchronized.
After a three-second display, a man who looked to be in his thirties appeared on the screen. His features, like his military uniform, were very upright, giving people a sense of trustworthiness and reliability.
Behind this man stood another man, Qiu Feng, the other base commander of the Qiushan Base.
Before they could even greet each other after seeing each other's condition, Qiu Feng and Niu Dazhuang excitedly left the crowd and stood in front of the screen, sharing a tearful reunion.
"Dazhuang, you're still alive! That's wonderful!" Qiu Feng's expression was restrained, but the excitement and joy in his eyes were unparalleled.
Niu Dazhuang was equally happy: "I'm still alive, and not only am I alive, but Brother Li Jia is alive too. Brother, what are you doing out here? We can handle everything outside, you just need to stay home and take care of things."
Xia Ji, Li Ke, Yan Bo, and his teammates: "..."
They are clearly two perfectly normal men, so why do they suddenly give off a strong sense of being married to a married woman?
Fortunately, the two men were well aware of the situation and quickly gave up their seats. Xia Ji looked at the people opposite him and said, "Hello, Commander Li. I am Xia Ji, and also the commander-in-chief of this sea operation. I know that Commander Li also plans to go to sea. The sea area has changed drastically. Without rich sailing experience, no matter what your identity or ability, you may not return. We have learned about Commander Li's situation and know that he is very capable, so we hope that we can cooperate to achieve our common goals."
Niu Dazhuang and the others left, leaving only Li Ke and Xia Ji on either side of the screen. Li Ke then slowly spoke, "Tell me what you all know about me?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ji composed himself before speaking, "We have already met your mother and know a lot about your background. We also know that you were missing for a long time after you and your mother separated."
Seeing that Xia Ji had stopped talking, Li Ke asked in return, "That's all?"
Xia Ji smiled slightly: "Of course, that's not all. We also know that after you left the Chen family, you set up an animal shelter and even acquired an animal food processing plant for it. You handed all these things over to professional managers. Before the tsunami hit, you went to N City, where you have properties that you bought and renovated in advance. These are the things that are on the surface."
In other areas, we discovered that in Country M, a large sum of money was lost by a gambling syndicate, and you were implicated in this. Later, a shopping maniac appeared overseas. Although you were very cautious, we still managed to find some border locations and times where you were seen. Putting these together, it seems you two are closely connected. Also, in City N, after you left, we received a leather bag containing information that proved very helpful.
Although many things remain unconfirmed, Chief Li, as far as I know, the number of small animals you sheltered was enormous, approaching one million. However, your shelter closed before the disaster, and the animals have completely disappeared. And the source of supplies for the Qiushan base you are currently supporting is also a mystery.
