Although Yang Jia felt that the current position was a bit too embarrassing and desperately hoped that Li Bai would let her go first and let her tidy herself up, when Li Bai heard this, not only did he not loosen his grip, but he held her even tighter.
Then he whispered in her ear, "Why, you want to talk to me about business again?"
Yang Jia's face was already red, and now it was so hot that she could almost fry an egg in it.
That's right, she had indeed been overestimating herself and "provoking" Li Bai, asking him if he wanted to talk to her about serious matters at this time, but she really didn't expect that Li Bai would react like this.
You have to know that before today, the most intimate contact between them was just a kiss, and there was no deeper progress.
So she thought it would be the same today.
"I...ah!" Yang Jia wanted to make a few more excuses, but Li Bai suddenly opened the interface on the back of her shirt, so her entire back was exposed to the air, and then she was pressed against the door panel. The cold temperature of the metal pricked her and she couldn't help but scream.
Because this change was so sudden, the next moment, Yang Jia struggled reflexively and pushed Li Bai out.
This struggle and push fully demonstrated the results of her training over this period of time, and she actually pushed Li Bai out.
It wasn't that Yang Jia had trained to the point where she could crush Li Bai, but... Li Bai hadn't yet reached her evolutionary state, and Yang Jia had clearly let her control her completely, so she hadn't anticipated her sudden move. Unexpectedly, she broke free.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Jia left the dangerous area of the door and entered the room without even having time to button up his clothes again.
But here comes the problem.
It's easy to imagine that the accommodations on Resource Star wouldn't be very good. Even with Li Bai's current high status, she was only allocated a single room. It had all the necessary necessities, but it was just the size of a typical room. Most importantly, there were no tables, chairs, or sofas for meetings; only a bed.
So when Yang Jia walked in, the feeling of being a sheep in a tiger's mouth became even more obvious.
Yang Jia thought for a moment, but instead of going over to sit down, he stood in the middle of the room and turned to Li Bai and said seriously, "I think it's a good idea to talk business first."
Li Bai curled the corners of her lips, obviously in a good mood. She didn't come over, but leaned against the door and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Yang Jia was stunned for a moment. She had naturally thought of many topics to discuss with Li Bai when she arrived, but now her mind was almost blank, and she couldn't remember anything. After a moment, she found her voice again. "How do you plan to accommodate these new people?"
"I don't need to get involved in their resettlement," Li Bai said. "They can choose their own location, and the army will protect their safety. The base only needs to provide material support."
Hearing this, Yang Jia couldn't help but frown slightly, "Then you're not worried?"
In the past, there was only one base on the planet, so naturally everything belonged to them. But now that there are so many people, it's natural for them to divide up the territory and take possession of more things.
In a society, the means of production are the most fundamental and crucial. Only by possessing sufficient resources can one have a say. Hope Star is now like a vast treasure trove, waiting to be claimed. Those who first divide up the territory will naturally gain the upper hand.
When Li Bai heard this, he laughed, stood up straight and walked towards Yang Jia.
Yang Jia suddenly had a bad feeling and wanted to take a few steps back, but then he realized that there was a bed behind him, so he could only stand where he was and try to maintain his momentum.
Li Bai ignored her thorny state and walked over to her. She pulled her a few steps, and they fell onto the bed. Then she stretched out her arms and hugged her, then spoke, "What's there to worry about? Occupying resources is important, but how they are used is more important."
"Ah..." When she said this, Yang Jia immediately understood.
As the times change, although material resources are still important, other things have become more important and are also something that must be fought for.
The ancients said that science and technology are the primary productive forces.
It is also said that talent is the foundation of everything.
Humanity's development at this point is completely different from the initial days when people ate raw meat and drank blood, expanding their territory to survive. Even if they migrate to Planet Hope, they will do so after getting to know the planet well and then move there calmly.
This is the original intention of establishing the Hope Star Base.
What resources exist on this planet? Which resources correspond to what on Earth? How can they be used? These are all the subjects of the base's research. The base also represents the highest level of scientific research on Planet Hope. This advantage will remain unmatched for at least a few decades.
Therefore, if you only occupy the land and resources but have no idea how to use them, you will only tragically become a provider of raw materials, selling raw materials at low prices and purchasing finished products at high prices.
Since he has control over such a lifeline, what does Li Bai have to worry about?
"Any other questions?" Li Bai asked.
Yang Jia hadn't fully recovered from his shock yet, the matter was still spinning in his mind, and he could only shake his head blankly.
Li Bai rolled over on the bed, holding the person. The two immediately changed positions, with Yang Jia now pinned down by Li Bai. Then Li Bai said, "Now it's my turn to ask, what's going on with Zhuo Tianyang?"
As he asked, he slid his fingers down along the seam of the fabric and opened Yang Jia's clothes again.
Yang Jia hadn't realized what Li Bai meant by this question, so he said, "This question is a bit difficult to answer. Basically, Zhuo Tianyang's parents founded the Tianyang Research Institute, which specifically serves the lower-class humans. They already have control over the vast majority of them. They know the government won't let these people come to Hope Star, and they know you're there, so they want to cooperate with us."
"What else?"
"That's all..." Li Bai's hands were messing around on her body, making it hard for Yang Jia to concentrate. After all, this was her beloved whom she had met after a long separation. Although she had always felt unprepared for close contact, now that it had come to this, how could she still focus on business?
You know, from the very beginning, she had evil intentions towards Li Bai!
Li Bai did not ask any more questions. She kissed her again, not giving Yang Jia a chance to speak. At the same time, she deftly stripped off Yang Jia's clothes completely with her hands, exposing her in front of her.
Yang Jia also reciprocated the gesture and reached out to tear Li Bai's clothes.
Soon, there were no obstacles between them. Their bodies pressed tightly together, kissing and caressing, each movement filled with longing for each other.
Although they had made this choice themselves from the beginning, and they understood intellectually that this temporary separation was for a better reunion in the future, emotionally, both of them were fed up with this seemingly endless separation.
So I have to do something to vent all these complicated emotions.
They say a short separation is better than a new marriage, let alone they separated before they even had a wedding?
When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, the two men leaned against each other and talked. Yang Jia then told Li Bai what had happened after he traveled from the moon to the earth. In the middle, Li Bai added about the situation on Hope Star, and they finally understood what had happened during this period.
Then Yang Jia couldn't help but say, "Although no one knows how long the Earth can survive, it would be best to try to establish communication between the two sides. If we have such an advantage, perhaps our research progress will be faster."
"Great minds think alike," Li Bai said, taking out his personal terminal and opening a document for Yang Jia to read. "In fact, a project on Hope Star has already been established. Over the years, many difficulties have been overcome, and there is already some progress. Due to the long distance, it will probably take several transfers. The current plan is to launch five to eight communication satellites to connect the entire line, and then both sides will use Sky Eye to send and receive signals."
Of course, this is not without its challenges. After all, the distance is so great that ensuring accurate and timely transmission of information without being disturbed by the various environments in the universe is a problem that currently remains unsolved.
The topic quickly turned to the virus vaccine, which they are currently most concerned about.
Knowing that Yang Jia brought Du Qing here for this purpose, Li Bai said, "Send her to Hope Star tomorrow."
During this period, both sides have made some progress in their research, and perhaps exchanging ideas will help broaden their horizons. Even if there's only a slight chance of success, we can't give up.
As for Bai Shu and Xuan Zijie, Li Bai suggested they wait and see. They represented their families, and while their arrival at Hope Star was certainly a collaboration with Li Bai and Yang Jia, it also served as an opportunity for further development. Given that, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them hit a wall first, to prevent anyone from harboring second thoughts about the collaboration.
As for Zhuo Tianyang, Li Bai's impression of him was still stuck in the past. However, through Yang Jia's description, she could roughly judge his purpose. In fact, if Zhuo Tianyang was looking for her to cooperate, Li Bai would be very happy to have such a partner. Because Zhuo Tianyang's bargaining chips were indeed what she needed.
But who asked Zhuo Tianyang to contact Yang Jia first?
Li Bai had a good memory and still remembered Zhuo Tianyang's unusual interest in Yang Jia. Of course, there was no need to be nice to a love rival.
Yang Jia had not realized what she meant in this regard before, and only now did he realize it belatedly.
While she found it funny, she couldn't help but feel a little mischievous. "By the way, I just remembered that there is one more thing." She turned her head and looked at Li Baidao seriously.
Seeing her serious expression, Li Bai straightened his attitude and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Jia's eyes curved up, and his tone was filled with an unconcealable smile, "Call me Auntie and let me hear it?"
