Li Bai knew that in Yang Jia's heart, the illusory game world in the eyes of others was the most important thing to him. Naturally, he wanted to take any good things for himself.
Furthermore, this item couldn't be transported directly from Planet Hope to Earth; it would have to be researched, and conducting this research in the game was far faster and more convenient than in reality. Because in the game, they recruited many specialized talents with bonuses in their respective areas of expertise.
And every achievement will become Yang Jia's foundation, the cornerstone for her to surpass others and dominate the gaming world.
So she naturally would not object to this proposal.
As for Zhuo Tianyang, although Yang Jia had no intention of discussing it with him, he also expressed his approval.
While others might not understand the importance of the gaming world, Zhuo Tianyang knew it all too well. He naturally didn't want this world to be destroyed for no apparent reason. While he didn't know what leverage Yang Jia had, researching communications satellites was certainly a good strategy.
In reality, the more developed a society becomes, the less likely it is to engage in war—or rather, the less likely it is to involve large-scale war. After all, the weapons available are so terrifying, capable of annihilating the earth at a moment's notice. To protect the environment, anyone with even a modicum of foresight would exercise restraint and abide by conventions prohibiting the indiscriminate use of these weapons. Consequently, most wars are confined to small-scale situations.
Regardless of who wins and who loses here, it is of great benefit to the entire gaming world.
Furthermore, the more frequent the exchanges between the two sides and the more aspects involved, the less likely a war will break out, as people will be more willing to choose less damaging means, such as economic wars or wars of public opinion.
Therefore, once the satellite launch is successful, it is foreseeable that it will bring about a huge change to the game world. The existing factions will be reshuffled in a relatively peaceful manner. For those who have been prepared for this change and even have the power to manipulate it, this is of course a rare opportunity.
Although choosing Yang Jia as a partner showed that Zhuo Tianyang and the research institute behind him recognized the two of them, seeing that Yang Jia could seize opportunities so quickly and keenly, and that any small thing could become butterfly wings to her and bring about huge changes, Zhuo Tianyang still couldn't help but feel that he had made the right choice in this partner.
If Yang Jia can't lead them to success, perhaps no one can.
Li Bai said, "You've arrived at the perfect time. Perhaps we can have your fleet bring the satellite back and launch it in space, which will help us gain some experience."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jia and Zhuo Tianyang showed some excitement on their faces.
This long-distance communication project is destined to become one of the greatest inventions in human history.
Although it seemed that Earth only had a few years left to exist, and wasting time, effort, and money on such a project was completely meaningless, in reality, once Earth and Star Hope were established, the benefits would be countless.
Moreover, for the entire universe, this was merely the first test. Since humanity had migrated to Hope and expanded its development to several surrounding stars, the previous pattern had been broken, and from then on, the era would enter the interstellar age.
Human beings will go further and further, and occupy larger and larger territories.
The foundation of all this is built on ultra-long-distance communication engineering. Otherwise, the so-called rule is just a joke.
Why were states often smaller in the Cold War era? Even though the Mongols were able to reach as far as Europe, they simply plundered and fled, unable to rule the region.
There's an ancient Chinese saying, "The mountains are high, the emperor is far away," which perfectly captures the underlying reason. Because of the vast distances and the difficulty of communication, information couldn't be transmitted in a timely manner, making it difficult for the imperial court to respond promptly to specific policies and, naturally, control them.
That is why the imperial court at that time chose to set up remote areas as tributary states, maintaining only nominal occupation while actually allowing the local indigenous people to govern themselves because they could not manage them.
From this perspective, it is not wrong to say that telecommunication is the greatest invention in the entire process of human civilization.
Because its impact is so profound and far-reaching, it is even difficult to estimate it today.
For people living today, being able to witness with their own eyes how this great project was built is certainly a very precious experience.
Li Bai ignored the two people's excitement and turned to walk in another direction.
Yang Jia quickly suppressed his excitement, took a few steps forward to walk alongside her, and asked, "Where are we going next?"
"Let me show you something interesting." Li Bai said with a smile.
Yang Jia's brows twitched slightly. Given Li Bai's personality, why would he say "fun"? What could they be going to see?
The three of them walked forward for a distance, then turned into another building. But this time, they weren't going upstairs, but downstairs. The place they were going to was actually underground!
Although underground, it wasn't dim. The overhead lights illuminated the entire staircase, making it seem like daylight. At the end of the staircase, a heavy-looking metal door blocked the way. Li Bai approached the door, scanned his personal computer against the electronic eye, and then leaned forward to verify it with his iris. The door slid open silently with a click, revealing the room that had been blocked off.
It is not accurate to call it a room, it is more like a hall.
The hall's ceiling was incredibly high, illuminated by the bright lights, without a single shadow. It was completely empty, appearing quite spacious. In the center of this vast hall sat two enormous objects. Covered with silver-gray cloth, it was impossible to tell what they were.
But when Li Bai walked straight forward and pulled open one of the sheets, the thing blocked underneath immediately caught the eyes of Yang Jia and Zhuo Tianyang. The two of them gasped and stood there in shock.
Although Li Bai didn't say a word, they all recognized the thing in front of them.
In the terms of science fiction, its name is - mecha.
While the two were stunned, Li Bai pulled away the other piece of cloth.
Two huge mechas, each as tall as three people, stood there quietly. One was silver-white in appearance, and the other was completely black. The colors formed a strong contrast, but the shapes were exactly the same.
"This is humanity's first step into the interstellar universe, and it's also the foundation for conquering the vast sea of stars." Li Bai walked back and whispered, "If immigration will bring a huge baptism to all of humanity, then its existence is a subversion of the old form of combat."
Yang Jia tried hard to suppress his surging emotions.
Even though she had never been fond of war and force, she couldn't help but be shocked and impacted when she saw this thing for the first time.
Just as Li Bai said, they are a subversion of the way humans fight.
But after coming to her senses, Yang Jia immediately saw something in the two machines. She turned around and asked Li Bai, "Is this armor made for Evolvers?"
"That's right." But it was not Li Bai who answered this question.
Yang Jia turned her head and saw Zhou Hong standing at the door without her knowing when, looking at her with complicated eyes, but soon he turned his attention to the two mechas.
Li Bai curled up the corners of his lips, revealing a very pleasant smile, and said to Yang Jia, "I made a bet with Dean Zhou that you can definitely see through the mystery at a glance. But he doesn't quite believe it." As a result, Yang Jia revealed it right away.
In fact, it is not surprising that Yang Jia could guess it. Based on her experience of reading many books, this kind of big guy must have very high requirements for the driver.
In the history of the Earth, when space was first explored, even astronauts had to undergo rigorous scrutiny and then receive various trainings before they were qualified.
Although the requirements for passengers on spacecraft have been greatly reduced with the development of technology, and basically any healthy human can withstand it, mechas are used in space combat, so the requirements for users are naturally higher.
Ordinary humans simply couldn't control this thing, otherwise it would have been used by the military long ago. So there was only one explanation left, that it was specially built for a certain type of person.
Of course, such a large project could not be completed within a few months. It must have been prepared a long time ago.
At that time, among all of Earth's humankind, the only one so special that a suit of armor was specifically crafted for her was undoubtedly Li Bai. Clearly, there were more than just those who realized humanity was about to enter the interstellar age. Those with foresight had already begun preparing for this.
But if it is something prepared for Li Bai, just one will be enough.
Even if they were just keeping a spare, there was no need to make them two different colors. There was only one possibility: they were a pair.
Li Bai's special ability has been proven to be the ability to evolve. Currently, there are only two people on the entire earth who possess this ability, namely her and Li Bai.
In this way, Yang Jia could naturally make a guess.
In fact, the correct statement is "This is armor made for us", but Yang Jia is not such an arrogant person, so of course he would not say it so bluntly. With a little euphemism, it became "made for evolvers."
At this moment, Li Bai looked at Yang Jia and asked, "Do you want to try it?"
