After the first batch of evolutionary vaccines were transported from Hope Star to the Moon, Bai Shu led people to pick them up.
Li Bai also wanted to send her own people, but it was no longer a secret who was around her and Yang Jia, so in order not to attract other people's attention and for safety reasons, she had no choice but to make such arrangements.
Anyway, after the vaccines were delivered, it was time to confront their allies. This was Hope Star's biggest bargaining chip, and what they wanted most. By handing over the actual vaccine, they finally had the confidence.
One major difference between the real world and the gaming world is that the materials needed to make vaccines are finite and not infinitely renewable like in the game. Furthermore, transporting them from Planet Hope to Earth is extremely expensive.
Therefore, there is a very cruel fact that not all of the 20 billion people on the planet have access to vaccination.
This is also one of the reasons why the two billion people at the bottom were abandoned by default in the past. After all, when resources are limited, they will only be distributed according to priority, and humans living at the bottom of society always have the lowest priority.
But now, the people who control the resources have changed, and the situation will naturally change accordingly.
These two billion people will definitely have priority in getting vaccinated, and naturally other people will lose this opportunity.
In this case, I believe that the various forces that have received the news will not be stupid enough to leak the news, providing opportunities for others while increasing competitors for themselves.
The showdown meeting takes place within the game.
After obtaining the highest system authority from Yang Jia, he could monitor any place in the game. This place actually became the safest and was perfect for discussing those matters that were inconvenient to disclose.
Sitting here are not only people from the Bai, Xuan and Ma families in the Chinese region, but also several families in the European and American regions, as well as representatives from Zhuo Tianyang's research institute. These are all their allies and the backbone of the next series of actions.
"The evolutionary vaccine has been successfully developed. I'm sure everyone already knows this news," Yang Jia said. "I called you all here today to share another piece of good news. The first batch of vaccines has arrived on Earth. I believe some of you may still have questions about the existence of the evolutionary vaccine and its effectiveness, so this first batch of vaccines will be distributed evenly."
She glanced at everyone as she spoke. "You can give it to your subordinates, or take it apart for research, as long as you don't leak the information. But I don't think anyone would be willing to give up such an opportunity. Not to mention that the current materials are not enough to produce 20 billion vaccines. Even if it were possible, it would take a very long time, and we can't wait."
Seeing that everyone had a stern look on their faces, obviously having heard what he said, Yang Jia looked at Li Bai.
"The first batch of evolution vaccines has a total of 10,000 doses." Li Bai stood up and announced the number. "Everyone here happens to be representatives of the ten factions, and each faction will receive 1,000 doses. But this time, the vaccines will be distributed evenly, so I hope everyone has an idea of the number."
No one stood up to ask how future vaccines would be distributed. It's obvious that it would be based on various merits.
Before migrating to Star Hope, they must unify the Earth into one voice, even if it means starting a war!
No one would admit that this was a process of survival of the fittest, a process of population reduction. Since resources were already scarce, those who disagreed with them were naturally eliminated.
The general trend of history has always been extremely cruel.
In the silence, Du Qing stood up and said, "In order to allow everyone to adapt to the changes brought about by the vaccine as quickly as possible, I suggest that after selecting those who will receive the vaccine, let them experience it in the game first, and then receive the vaccine in real life."
There are so many players in the game, and the quality is mixed, making it difficult to distinguish whether they are just tampering. Therefore, we haven't promoted the Evolution Vaccine on a large scale. Instead, we plan to promote it in parallel with the real world, gradually. This is also a way to let everyone experience it before the official registration, so that they can be mentally prepared.
Naturally, no one would object to this proposal, as there were many who harbored doubts. As leaders, they would inevitably be among the first to be vaccinated, but trust in the vaccine had yet to be established. It would be ideal if they could experience it in-game first.
Some people even thought about going to find Du Qing after the meeting and trying it out themselves.
"The second batch of vaccines is expected to arrive in the amount of one million doses next month," Li Bai continued. "Next, let's discuss the action plan for this month."
The delicious carrots are already hanging in front of us, so the next step is to get everyone moving forward. This month's performance will determine the amount of vaccine allocated next month. You get what you pay for, it's fair.
Everyone was very proactive, offering suggestions and ideas, and quickly came up with a rough plan of action. Since it wasn't time for a full-scale outbreak yet, the actions were limited to three major areas, each independently but subtly interconnected, in preparation for a larger operation.
Li Bai handed everyone a copy of the action plan and then adjourned the meeting, telling them to prepare on their own. For a moment, even the atmosphere within the game became tense and solemn.
Zhuo Tianyang was the last one to leave, along with Du Qing.
Yang Jia knew he was going to ask Du Qing about the vaccine. After all, most of the people working under the institute had issues, and they might react differently to the vaccine than others. This kind of reaction might not be reflected in the game experience, so they naturally needed to be prepared.
Li Bai packed up his things, walked over to her, followed her gaze, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering..." Yang Jia took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Li Bai, how many people do you think will be able to successfully leave Earth and go to Hope Planet in the end?"
"Less than half." Li Bai gave this answer without hesitation. It was obvious that she had already thought about this question a long time ago.
So at this moment, she gently patted Yang Jia's shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it. Even without us, they would still fight and people would still die. Every great change is built on countless bones."
"Besides, there are already numerous conflicts between the three districts, and within each district itself," Li Bai said. "A separate political system among the three districts isn't necessarily a good thing. The only reason they've been able to maintain this balance for five hundred years is because they're concerned about the existence of Earth. So, once the day arrives when it's clear there's no need to worry anymore, these pent-up conflicts will erupt, and the scene will be unprecedentedly intense and brutal. This is inevitable, regardless of who's driving it."
"I know." Yang Jia nodded and suddenly laughed. "Everyone wants to be the final winner, and we are no exception. And standing from the perspective of a winner, pretending to be compassionate is also ridiculous."
"Don't say that..." Li Bai stopped her.
Yang Jia turned around and looked at her. "We're not good people, are we? Otherwise, even if there were sacrifices, we should be the ones rushing to the front, instead of driving the tiger to devour the wolf like we are doing now."
"It would be boring if you had to say this kind of thing out loud." Someone suddenly spoke from behind.
Yang Jia turned around and saw Qin Yan had walked over to them. He had obviously heard what she and Li Bai had said before, so he smiled and said, "People and things in this world can't be judged simply by good or bad. Ultimately, it's just a matter of different perspectives."
That's right... Yang Jia nodded. "You have a point. To those who might have been sacrificed but got a chance because of us, we are good. But to those who could have left smoothly but lost their chance because of us, we are a great evil. If you insist on considering it from the enemy's perspective, that's not kindness, but naivety."
Qin Yan shrugged. "From this perspective, the five million people who were sent to Star Hope early on were the luckiest. But when they left, many people didn't think so. Recruitment was based on voluntary registration, so you see, everything was your own choice."
After he finished speaking, regardless of Yang Jia's reaction, he said directly, "There aren't many of us in the Qin family, so I just want 50 vaccines. Forget it this time, a thousand vaccines wouldn't be enough to go around. It would be best if you give them all to me next time, okay?"
"Of course." Yang Jia nodded and added, "I guess there are many people who think the same as you. Please inform them and ask them to go to Du Qing to register and come in order."
In the chaos that follows, the stronger you are, the higher the chance of survival. The Nirvana Guild doesn't have many core members, and there aren't even people like her and Li Bai who can split up, so they can definitely take care of the families of some members.
After all, most of them are researchers rather than combatants, so their worries must be resolved.
If possible, Yang Jia felt that sending everyone to Hope Star in advance would be a good option. However, there were some ongoing projects, so it might take some time.
After Qin Yan left, Li Bai suddenly said, "You are not."
"What?" Yang Jia was a little confused.
But Li Bai did not explain.
She continued with the previous topic. She considered things from the perspective of the majority rather than just herself. This wasn't naive; she just wasn't used to paving her own path to success at the expense of others.
Yang Jia's personality was destined to make him unable to become a hero.
So she would do these things for Yang Jia.
