For Yang Jia, Hope Star is a strange yet familiar place.
It's a bit like leaving a place and returning a few years or even a decade later to find that it's changed a lot, not quite the same as you remembered. But some iconic things remain unchanged.
It is a very interesting process to connect the things in front of you bit by bit with the contents of your memory and piece them together to form a complete picture.
Because his mind was always focused on this, Yang Jia didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
Although Du Qing and Zhuo Tianyang came here for the first time, neither of them was the type to be easily startled. Moreover, many things on Hope Star were reminiscent of Earth's buildings, which were also very familiar and intimate to them. Therefore, they just silently memorized them in their hearts and did not speak.
As for Li Bai, expecting her to explain things was even more impossible. At most, she would simply explain where it was and what the building was used for.
So the journey was particularly silent.
After taking a tour around the base, Li Bai took his men to meet Dean Zhou.
Du Qing and Zhuo Tianyang were in charge of the investigation and communication. Yang Jia also wanted to see what kind of research was being done here and how the progress was, so naturally he had to visit the laboratory and have some discussions.
Virus vaccines are currently what everyone is most concerned about, so naturally they went here first.
The group received a very warm welcome.
The researchers' ideas were not that complicated. The previous virus vaccine was developed by Du Qing and his team. Hope Star had been researching something for many years without any results, but it was solved by a group of young people who had never entered the scientific research system. Naturally, everyone was very curious about her.
As for Yang Jia, although she had been dormant for twenty years and few of her former colleagues remained, recognizing her as a relative was naturally impossible. However, everyone had heard from Dean Zhou that she was also an evolved being. To these people, she was a living research subject, holding greater interest.
So they didn't even have time to greet Du Qing before sending Yang Jia and Li Bai to the laboratory to conduct various tests and samples on them.
The two people who became guinea pigs sat in the laboratory, and they could see helplessness and relief in each other's eyes.
With a successful sample, reversing the experimental process becomes much easier. The more samples, the greater the likelihood of success. In this sense, fate favored them. Regardless of the historical reasons, only these two succeeded in this process, a truly remarkable coincidence.
After the sampling was over, it was time for Du Qing to have an exchange meeting with them. Yang Jia listened in for a while and found that she had really let down the original Yang Jia's talent. It was obviously something that should have been in her major, but she only understood a lot of the content vaguely.
Sure enough, there is still a big difference between me and her.
If she was like this, Li Bai and Zhuo Tianyang would naturally be even worse off. So the three of them slipped out of the conference room midway. While discussing where to go, Yang Jia suddenly thought of the group of researchers who, like him, were sleeping on the moon.
Li Bai took the man to the medical room.
Among dozens of people, except Yang Jia who woke up, everyone else was still sleeping.
"All his physical indicators were returning to normal, and the examinations revealed no problems, but he simply wouldn't wake up. Everyone speculated that it might be because he'd been asleep for too long, making it difficult for his mind to become active again, a bit like the vegetative state of the past. But it's difficult to take effective measures to address this."
Li Bai opened the door to the medical room as she spoke. A burst of elegant piano music began to flow out, and she continued, "So for now, we can only try playing music or something like that, hoping to awaken their consciousness."
This medical room is very large, so everyone dispersed after entering.
Yang Jia had heard Li Bai mention a girl named Yang Jia who was also asleep. So, she went searching with purpose, quickly separating herself from the others. She didn't stop until she found a medical pod labeled "Yang Jia."
This place was very close to a corner, and there were a lot of medicines and machines piled up nearby. Hearing the noise, the person who was sorting things turned around and saw Yang Jia. His eyes widened in surprise, "Yang Jia?!"
Hearing this voice, Yang Jia was also startled and looked over there.
The other person was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, wearing a white coat, her hair tied up with a hat, and a mask hanging from one ear. She looked very familiar. She was stunned for a moment before suddenly finding someone in her memory.
This was Yang Jia's colleague before she fell into a deep sleep. The person in her memory was in her prime, very different from the weathered woman before her, yet their facial features and outlines were the same.
Yang Jia didn't expect to see an acquaintance here. He subconsciously turned his head to look in Zhuo Tianyang's direction, raised his hand and made a "hush" gesture, then walked around to the other person and whispered, "Are you Tang Min?"
"It's me." Tang Min stared at Yang Jia without blinking, "Why are you..."
Li Bai had only mentioned the news of Yang Jia's awakening to Dean Zhou and hadn't made it public. While this matter was of great significance, Yang Jia's special status on Earth made it best not to disclose it publicly for the time being. It was no wonder Tang Min was so surprised.
"It's a long story," Yang Jia said. "To put it simply, I'm currently carrying out a very special mission and cannot reveal my identity, so no one knows I've woken up yet."
"Ah...that's right." Tang Jing nodded in realization. On Hope Star, there were many special experiments that even needed to be kept secret, so she didn't ask any further questions.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
After a pause, Tang Min whispered again, "I'm the only one left from the group that came with me."
There was an indescribable melancholy in his tone.
She paused, then added, "Anyway, I'm very happy to see you again."
After learning that a vaccine had been developed and the people on the moon had been evacuated, she had taken the initiative to apply for the job of caretaking. Every day, seeing these people sleeping, with no idea when they would wake up, Tang Min had her doubts in her heart—could they really wake up? But now, with Yang Jia's precedent, she suddenly felt a sense of confidence.
No matter what, as long as we are alive, there is always hope, isn't it?
To put it bluntly, when we first chose to come to Hope Star, everyone had the awareness of dedicating themselves to science, but now it's just a matter of seeing whoever survives is the best.
"I'm happy too." Yang Jia smiled at her.
Yes, although she always felt that she was not the same person as that Yang Jia - or it was precisely because she felt that she was another person that there were still people who remembered her and knew her. Everything about that Yang Jia was still clear and real, and had not been obliterated by the passage of time.
For Yang Jia, this is the only way to remember that person.
The two exchanged a few more words. Seeing Li Bai coming over, Yang Jia whispered, "Take good care of them. I believe everyone will wake up one day."
Seeing Tang Min nod, she stood up and strode towards Li Bai.
Li Bai must have seen her talking to Tang Min, but he didn't ask any more questions. The two turned around and met up with Zhuo Tianyang and left.
Afterwards they went to the building where the Sky Eye system was located.
This building is the tallest in the entire base - probably because there is a lot of land on Hope Star and there is no need to save it, and everyone is disgusted by the buildings on Earth that are so tall that the ground is almost invisible, so there are few buildings in the Hope Star base that are higher than six stories.
The Sky Eye Building is twelve stories high. On the top floor is a huge signal transceiver, and below are the offices and residences for the project staff.
As for the artificial communication satellite that is about to be launched into the sky, it is not here, but is placed outside the base. It will be carried by a large spacecraft and launched after reaching the designated area, and pushed into a specific orbit. The specific process requires a series of debugging and is very complicated.
Because they had no experts on board this time, they could only take a tour and take away some information, which they would then send back to Earth to begin research and construction. Although the process was tedious, this project was extremely necessary. Once successful, the Earth's landscape would be completely changed.
It's a very huge bargaining chip for them and what they're going to do next.
After coming out of the building, Yang Jia said, "Actually, relevant research can also be conducted in the game."
A game world designed based on reality is also a planet. Launching a communications satellite and establishing a comprehensive communications system would be equally significant, as it would be an independent communications system outside of the game system.
Moreover, there are also three zones in the game. If the connection can be established before the system opens the regional channel, the benefits will naturally be huge.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces. This principle is the same whether in reality or in games.
It is conceivable that in the future, the Nirvana Guild will have the Earth's top researchers in its left hand and the various achievements on Hope Star in its right hand. It is no longer a dream to crush all the major forces in the game!
Compared with fighting to the death, this peaceful solution is obviously more in line with Yang Jia's wishes.
She remembered what Zhuo Tianyang had said: the purpose of the game world's existence was to be destroyed. So she suspected that if a large-scale war really broke out, the system would likely intervene and push everyone to destroy the world together.
This was the system's usual approach, following the trend. The previous division of power and the virus outbreak all confirmed this.
So, she simply extinguished this momentum!
