Since there was nothing to do staying on Earth, Yang Jia decided to take this opportunity to go to Hope Star.
Although her memories contained countless details about this place, and she could even say she knew more about Hope than anyone else on Earth, memories were only memories, and there always felt like a layer of separation. Furthermore, Hope had undergone many changes recently, and the situation was drastically different. Going there in person would give her a more accurate understanding of it, and thus help her prepare for the next move.
Of course, the biggest reason might be that Li Bai was there.
Ever since Li Fang intervened and removed Li Bai from the game, the two had been spending less and less time together, and even when they did meet, it was always a quickie. Their last time on the moon was the longest they had ever spent together, but Yang Jia's health was precarious at the time, so naturally, there wasn't much romantic potential.
Therefore, there is such an opportunity now that I can take care of my personal affairs while on a business trip, and I naturally cannot miss it.
Yang Jia's current position meant she couldn't just improvise an idea. After all, she was now involved with, or even followed by, quite a few people. She had to be responsible for herself and Li Bai, but even more so for these people.
So after making the decision, Yang Jia first settled everything, and then called people together to hold an emergency meeting.
When they heard that Yang Jia was going to Hope Star, no one immediately objected. Because both sides urgently needed to communicate. Although this ancient method of sending people there was incredibly inefficient, there was no other way.
Even though a few of them suspected that Yang Jia was abusing his power for personal gain, they were wise enough to pretend they knew nothing.
This young couple is already miserable enough, there is really no need to dwell on such a small issue.
Not to mention that Yang Jia didn't act rashly. Instead, he made this suggestion after he had everything arranged, and even invited everyone to discuss it. So in the end, this proposal was passed unanimously.
As for how Yang Jia, who seemingly had no background, would go to Hope Star, he would have to rely on the help of the Bai and Xuan families. By the way, since Tianyang Research Institute had already arranged for many people to participate in the vaccine research, Yang Jia planned to bring Du Qing with him this time.
Both sides are researching vaccines, so it’s not a bad thing for them to communicate with each other. Perhaps this collision will produce results?
In fact, Yang Jia also wanted to bring one or two computer experts with him to solve the problem of long-distance communication as soon as possible.
Zhang Zitao would have been a good choice, but his research wasn't in that area, so it wouldn't have been helpful for him to go. Besides, he had just exchanged ideas with the computer scientists at Tianyang Research Institute and seemed to have gained something, so he was immersed in his research.
Among the computer experts from the lower classes in Tianyang Research Institute, there are several who are proficient in this field, but before Yang Jia could even speak, Zhuo Tianyang rejected this proposal.
The government was worried that the various diseases carried by the lower-class humans would affect Hope Star, so it decided to abandon them. Although this approach was inhumane, the consideration was not unreasonable.
Hope Star is the retreat for all mankind and must not be lost.
In the past, if they had this opportunity, they would have naturally tried to seize it. But now that they know vaccines can completely eliminate the impact of these diseases, they are willing to wait a little longer.
Besides, if there are too many people with mixed backgrounds, it will be difficult to arrange them.
So in the end, there were only two people who followed Yang Jia, one was Du Qing, and the other was——
Yang Jia glared at Zhuo Tianyang. "You're neither a researcher nor a liaison. Why are you following me?"
"Let's go and see what the hope of humanity on Earth is like." Zhuo Tianyang said, "I've brought so many people to join you. I have to let everyone know what kind of place we're going to be like, right? That way, everyone can give their all and cooperate sincerely."
After he said this, Yang Jia understood. Zhuo Tianyang actually existed as a mascot. Bringing him to Hope Star represented Yang Jia's sincerity and also stabilized the hearts of the people in Tianyang Research Institute.
Empty words are not enough. Yang Jia said that if he could be responsible for their future, he must take some concrete actions.
It was neither easy nor difficult to squeeze these three people into the accompanying team. Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie did not refuse to help, but they made a request that surprised Yang Jia, "We want to go too."
Their previous collaboration had been discussed with Yang Jia, so a chance to meet Li Bai would be the best. Furthermore, as representatives of the younger generation and carefully cultivated successors, they were shouldering increasing responsibilities, so there was no harm in going to Hope Star in advance to learn about the situation there.
"..." Yang Jia vaguely felt that he might be a parent who was taking a group of children on an outing. One wanted to go, and that wanted to go, and in the end, they were followed by a long group of people.
She tried to dismiss the image of a mother hen leading a string of chicks from her mind and said seriously, "You two can go, but you can't bring anyone else."
After they agreed, she began to wonder. The Bai and Xuan families didn't need to go through her if they wanted to send someone there. Yang Jia even felt that they couldn't have no one on Hope Star. Their request to follow her was just a gesture.
But honestly, she had originally planned to go alone, but now, with this, she had gained some momentum. At least it seemed like she wasn't fighting alone on Earth. And bringing these allies to Li Bai for his review was a good thing, too.
While they were discussing this, the dispute over the escort had also reached its conclusion.
As Yang Jia expected, they still tried to smooth things over. Each company sent a team, and then each of the three districts sent one person to take charge.
The three-way division has lasted too long. Any regime that exists for too long will gradually decay, with the distinctions between the upper and lower classes becoming increasingly clear, and the upward path completely closed. The people at the bottom struggle to survive, their needs unmet, while the upper class still feels that their position is as secure as ever.
Amidst an otherwise favorable situation, the hidden crisis has become increasingly apparent.
Change is inevitable.
In fact, Yang Jia is still a little confused. He doesn’t know how he became a reformer.
Initially, she just wanted to play around in the game and carve out a path for herself. Later, she fell in love with Li Bai, hoping to help him break free from the Li family's control. However, to do this, she needed to establish her own power, so she took one step at a time, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already in this situation.
This situation is exactly what the old saying goes: heroes are made by the times.
After a series of arrangements, Yang Jia and Du Qing became Bai Shu's followers, while Zhuo Tianyang followed Xuan Zijie. Their duties were to lead the escort forces sent by the two families. While they wouldn't be needed for such a minor matter, no one had ruled against them. The elders, under the guise of training, didn't object.
So on that day, Yang Jia and Du Qing followed Bai Shu and boarded the spaceship.
Five million people are not many compared to the Earth's population, but the spaceships they are riding on form a fairly large fleet. The escort ships carrying the troops fly at the edge, monitoring the surrounding situation at any time.
Yang Jia's spaceship was located at the rear, and looking forward, she could see the magnificent fleet. As she stood at the window admiring this rare spectacle, she heard Bai Shu ask behind her, "How will Li Bai accommodate these five million people?"
"Why does Li Bai need to be in charge of the resettlement?" Yang Jia turned around and glanced at her, saying meaningfully, "She was only temporarily in charge of the troops stationed on Hope Star under that situation. With so many more people and troops this time, I'm sure Earth has already considered everything. It's not her turn to have a say."
Bai Shu nodded thoughtfully, not asking any further questions. While she had heard about Yang Jia's recent activities, she hadn't been aware of the Tianyang Research Institute, and naturally, she had no idea that she already had two billion backup forces. So, hearing that Li Bai hadn't even considered targeting those five million men was both surprising and somewhat bewildering.
But some questions can be asked, and some cannot. Such doubts can only be kept in mind and answered in the future.
But Yang Jia's tone was full of confidence. At that moment, Bai Shu's thoughts coincided with Zhuo Tianyang's: perhaps there were forces behind Yang Jia that she was unaware of.
After the initial excitement, Yang Jia began spending more time in the training room. The last time she fought Zhuo Tianyang, she realized she had strength but wasn't able to fully utilize it. So, she trained even harder.
The time spent in training passed quickly. One day, when Yang Jia came out of the training room, he was stopped by Bai Shu outside the door. Only then did he realize that Hope Star was about to arrive.
Somehow, Yang Jia suddenly felt a little homesick.
For both her and Li Bai, Hope Star is a very special place. One could even say that tracing back to the source, the entire story originated from Hope Star.
This story contains both tribulations and opportunities, and it's difficult to judge the gains and losses. But regardless, Yang Jia should be grateful for the existence of Hope Star and this story, because it gave her a new lease on life and allowed her to meet Li Bai. This alone outweighs all the pain and suffering she endured.
When the planet appeared before her eyes and grew larger and larger as it got closer, until she could clearly see everything on it, it was natural for her heart not to be moved.
Hope Star...Who gave it this name?
It's just right.
