Although they were near the Hope Star, it was already engulfed in war, so it was impossible to land directly.
After all, they had no idea what was happening on Hope. Just rushing over there would be reckless. So, after catching sight of Hope from afar, the spacecraft turned around and headed for a nearby asteroid.
But I didn't expect to encounter warships from the Chinese region here.
This warship can be said to be extremely unlucky. It was originally going to assist the Hope Star Base, but unexpectedly, it was surrounded by a flock of birds as soon as it arrived at the destination and had not done anything.
Although they were able to avoid being completely surrounded thanks to their timely reaction, they were still too close to the birds to use their shipboard weapons. Furthermore, the sheer number of birds meant the warships couldn't fly too fast, as a collision at high speed could cause a serious accident and even damage the ship.
In this case, there is no other way except to escape.
After the warship finally penetrated the atmosphere and left Star Hope, an inspection revealed that many parts were still damaged.
Being forced to flee in disgrace before even entering the battle, and suffering such losses, was naturally unpleasant. Furthermore, Hope Star was too important, and the warships patrolling nearby were meant to protect it, so they couldn't stay away. Therefore, they had been trying to deal with those birds for a while, and now they had finally found some clues.
Bai Ting followed the warship in her airship, witnessing a devastating battle. The birds were routed in one blow, fleeing in all directions. Of course, the warship also lost many small reconnaissance aircraft and weapons.
After resolving the hidden dangers in the air, the spacecraft can land calmly.
The spacecraft had brought supplies, weapons, and a group of reinforcements, but upon arriving at the base, they found themselves seemingly useless. The flocks of birds in the sky had been scattered, and the herds of beasts on the ground, while still threatening, looked severely weakened.
Only after finding out what had happened did Bai Ting finally relax. It seemed Li Bai was fine and doing quite well. At least most of the base was under her control. The Americas region no longer had a say, and the European region naturally wouldn't confront Li Bai at this time.
But from what Bai Ting knew about Li Bai, she didn't seem like the type to draw attention to herself. She didn't know what had happened.
But no matter what, at least their and Yang Jia's previous worries were unnecessary. Li Bai was worthy of being Li Bai, and she didn't need others to worry about her. Even in a desperate situation, there would always be a way to turn things around.
After going through the procedures, Bai Ting went to see Li Bai.
When the two met, Li Bai couldn't help but ask about the game. Just as Yang Jia said, Bai Ting was not a liar, especially in front of Li Bai, and she confessed the truth in no time.
Li Bai was naturally happy to hear that progress had been made in the vaccine development, but she couldn't help but worry that someone was plotting against the Nirvana Guild.
No one had investigated Yang Jia before, but now that they were enemies, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles, Yang Jia's identity could no longer be concealed. Fortunately, Hope Star had finally settled down temporarily. The battle against the beasts was a long-term endeavor, impossible to resolve overnight, freeing her up to attend to other matters.
At that moment, Bai Ting rewrote down the information she had memorized and handed it to Li Bai, and then Li Bai took her to see Dean Zhou Hong.
For the researchers on Planet Hope, having arrived here, no hardship is too great to resist. If there's one thing they're wary of, it's the DIE virus. After all, infection means death, the inability to continue their beloved work. If this infection could offer even a modicum of benefit, it would be a sacrifice for science. Unfortunately, since the virus's emergence, research has been largely unsuccessful.
So when Zhou Hong heard that a virus vaccine had been developed, he was very surprised.
Of course, he knew about the "Reality" project, as a lot of the data was taken from the base. But Zhou Hong still didn't quite believe it would be of much use.
The biggest difference between simulation and real-world environments is that real-world environments are constantly changing, which is difficult to replicate in simulations. After all, you can never predict how reality will develop. Consequently, even if you achieve some results, they likely won't be applied in the real world.
But after looking through the information Li Bai brought out, he had to admit that this experimental report was very rigorous and at least theoretically feasible.
This was a significant shock to Zhou Hong, a veteran who had been here since the beginning of the development of Hope Star and single-handedly built the base. However, those at the forefront of science are often the fastest to adopt new ideas. Or rather, new ideas originate from the hands of these people. Even though the subject was different and he didn't understand it, he didn't blindly doubt it. Instead, he immediately called in people and began verifying the experiment.
Like Zhou Hong, other researchers who saw the report were filled with admiration. They didn't know where it came from, but they all felt that the various assumptions within it were very reasonable. And since it was Zhou Hong who came up with it, they naturally had no doubts and immediately began the empirical phase.
Although the entire experimental process was very long, the initial steps had been proven feasible, and everyone in the Greater China Research Institute was excited.
This thing was first developed in the Chinese region, which put it ahead of the other two regions.
As the ancients aptly said: Science knows no borders, but scientists do have nationalities. Even on the distant planet of Hope, where the majority of the population is engaged in scientific research, the conflict between the three districts has not diminished, but rather intensified. Because this competition is beneficial, everyone is eager to devote themselves to research, striving to surpass the other two districts, so the higher-ups have no intention of interfering.
Even if they moved to a new planet, the three regions wouldn't suddenly become like one family. On the contrary, since it was a brand new planet, how much territory they could occupy, how much resources they would have, who would get to choose the best location first... all of these needed to be discussed again.
Just talking nonsense wouldn't produce any results, so naturally, we had to compete elsewhere. Fighting back and forth would be unfriendly, and given Earth's previous experience, no one wanted to engage in a fight on Hope. At this point, a literary duel was necessary.
Let’s see who has done more in-depth research on the Hope Star!
The DIE virus vaccine is a magic weapon that can defeat the enemy at a critical moment. Producing this achievement will instantly double the influence of the Chinese region. Under the current circumstances, it can be said that once the vaccine is produced, the Chinese region can temporarily control the entire base!
Others might not have considered this so profoundly, but Zhou Hong was different. After all, he was also a semi-administrative position, so over time, he naturally thought more about these twists and turns than others.
So at this moment, he immediately realized that Li Bai's purpose in taking out this information at this time was probably not simple.
While it would be great for the Chinese region to monopolize Hope Star, everyone knew it was impossible. The current balance was tacitly agreed upon by all three parties. Therefore, Zhou Hong disagreed with Li Bai's approach. After thinking about this, he immediately summoned Li Bai for a personal lecture.
He certainly didn't know that Li Bai had already planned to break away from the three-district divide and was using Hope Star as a fulcrum to leverage all of this. He painstakingly analyzed the situation before asking, "Does Earth know about the vaccine?"
Logically, this vaccine should be reported to Earth immediately, and after the three regions have reached a balance and compromise, it should be sent to Planet Hope. That way, political considerations won't concern them, and they can focus on research.
But judging from Li Bai's appearance, he couldn't even wait for the war to end, so he probably didn't go through this procedure.
"There is no one infected with the virus on Earth, so this thing must be sent immediately to where it is needed." Li Bai said without hesitation.
Clearly, she wasn't unaware of the process. But this statement, prioritizing human life, was undeniable. After all, every researcher's life was precious, especially one who had spent time on Hope Star.
Zhou Hong was so angry that he laughed, "Your temper is really just like your mother's."
His casual words surprised Li Bai, "You know my mother?"
Zhou Hong couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "She didn't tell you?"
Li Bai's eyes flashed, and she said vaguely, "My mother had an accident when she gave birth to me." From Zhou Hong's words, she guessed that the other party did not know her life experience, so he was deliberately vague.
As expected, Zhou Hong wasn't surprised. Although medical advances had minimized the risks of childbirth, accidents did happen. So, he was only slightly distracted, then sighed, "Your mother was my student."
There is such a connection!
Li Bai was surprised and curious, wondering what had happened. After all, a researcher on Hope Star had suddenly left, returned to Earth, and married someone as powerful as Li Fang. Finally, she died in an illegal secret research project, which made people suspicious.
