172: Potential to become a capitalist (Thanks to Aikan Xiao

“I only know a little,” Lin Yang said humbly, waving his hand as he looked at Zhao Zizhen's surprised expression.

“Only a little?” Zhao Zizhen didn't believe him at all, smiling, “Lin's products are always excellent. Now, those guys in the mech research group are probably going to be overjoyed.”

“Dean Zhao, if you have nothing else, I'll go back and prepare,” Lin Yang said with a smile.

“No, nothing else,” Zhao Zizhen waved his hands repeatedly, but as Lin Yang reached the door, he seemed to remember something and quickly added, “Oh, right, Lin, there’s one more thing I almost forgot to tell you. Old Yuan asked me to inform you that the plant seeds you improved for them have been successfully cultivated. The modified genes are perfect and perfectly suited to our current local ecological environment.”

“The plant seedlings are growing vigorously and very well. They should be ready for outdoor natural growth trials in a few days. He said he’s very grateful to you. If he hadn’t been so busy these past few days, he would have come to tell you himself.”

“Oh, oh, it's good that they're growing well,” Lin Yang replied.

The plant seed genes were modified with the help of the Ecological Base's Robots. It would be a miracle if they weren't growing well.

Then he returned to his apartment, but he wasn't in a hurry to work on the mech immediately.

Instead, he contacted Butler One, asking it to inform all Western countries that from now on, all monitoring satellites on the moon would be blocked. To continue receiving live broadcast access, they would have to pay with resources.

Butler One's mechanical eye flickered, emitting a blue light: “Commander, I have a question.”

“Go ahead,” Lin Yang said.

“Commander, if we charge, there will be a problem. Only one country on Blue Star needs to pay, and other countries can avoid paying and directly watch from the paying country's live broadcast room.”

Butler One's tone carried a hint of concern: “And the Tiangong Base is currently unable to control Blue Star's network, which would expose some of the Tiangong Base's weaknesses and also lead to Blue Star people questioning our technology, or even mocking you. This is a huge loophole.”

“Uh…” Lin Yang was immediately stunned.

He had temporarily decided to charge earlier but hadn't considered this issue.

Butler One's concerns were not without reason.

Currently, in the eyes of the Blue Star people, the Tiangong Base and he are both incredibly powerful.

If they did something with such a huge loophole, it would indeed cause people in Western countries to question them, which would be detrimental.

“Then, Butler One, do you have any good solutions?” Lin Yang asked in response.

“Apologies, Commander, if we are to charge by region, this kind of problem is almost unavoidable. There will always be a large number of small accounts visiting, making it difficult to ban them all.”

Butler One bowed apologetically.

“Oh… then I'll think of a solution first and contact you later.”

Lin Yang cut off his communication with Butler One and instead asked the system.

However, the system's answer was similar to Butler One's; it was impossible to completely avoid other countries using small accounts to watch live broadcasts.

Unless they monitored in real-time and banned each one they found.

But there was another problem: it also couldn't prevent other countries from directly sending people to reside in already-paid countries and broadcasting directly from there.

“Oh…” Lin Yang frowned slightly, deep in thought.

From Butler One's and the system's answers, it seemed that regional paid live broadcasting was a bit unrealistic.

Because there were too many exploitable loopholes that couldn't be avoided at the source.

However, Lin Yang quickly thought of a solution.

Since regional charging had too many loopholes that would allow other countries to take advantage, why not just implement a total charge!

Of course, it wasn't about making all countries on Blue Star pay resources simultaneously to get live broadcast access.

Instead, he would simply create an official Moon live broadcast room, accessible only to paying users.

And this payment would only be in resources.

In other words, this paid live broadcast room would only be open to the official governments of major countries.

Countries that wanted to watch the Tiangong Base live broadcast, after paying resources, could obtain one spot to enter the live broadcast room.

One country could only have one account with access to the live broadcast room.

Although it was a bit overbearing, his original intention was to harvest resources from Western countries and prevent them from free-riding on the Tiangong Base's technology.

If they wanted to watch, they had to abide by his rules.

As for the general public… Lin Yang instantly had an idea.

He would simply create two live broadcast rooms: one open to the official governments of major countries, where they could watch relatively core areas and technology demonstrations of the Tiangong Base after paying.

Then, he would open a regular live broadcast room showing the external situation of the Tiangong Base.

The corresponding countries could then pay a small additional fee to purchase viewing access for their citizens' IPs to watch the regular live broadcast.

The external live broadcast room would only show some basic information about the Tiangong Base's exterior, so there would be no need to worry about other countries' citizens going to already-paid countries to watch the live broadcast.

As for the advanced live broadcast room targeting the official governments of major countries, they could occasionally be shown advanced technology, completely separate from the content broadcast in the regular live broadcast room.

One would broadcast the internal areas of the Tiangong Base, and the other would broadcast the external areas of the Tiangong Base.

If official personnel from major countries wanted to continue observing the Tiangong Base's advanced technology, they could only enter the advanced content live broadcast room to see some of the Tiangong Base's technological achievements.

And in the outer areas, no technology-related visuals would be displayed, including Robots, which would no longer appear at will.

This way, he could charge twice and also subtly create a sense of competition among other countries.

Imagine, if one country purchased access to the Tiangong Base's external live broadcast room for its citizens.

If other countries didn't buy it, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction.

After all, not everyone can always go abroad to other countries to watch live broadcasts.

In the long run, almost every country would definitely purchase viewing access for the regular live broadcast room for its citizens.

Earning two sets of money, wouldn't that be wonderful!

At this point, Lin Yang suddenly felt that he himself seemed to have the potential to become a capitalist.

He was simply too good at harvesting resources!

No sooner said than done!

He directly contacted Butler One and explained his idea.

Butler One's mechanical eyes flickered again, and it said with a hint of admiration:

“Great Commander, your wisdom fills me with admiration. I will now go and convey your will to all countries on Blue Star!”

“…” Lin Yang was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time he had heard flattery from Butler One.

Could Robots actually flatter people?

This was too ridiculous.

And immediately after, as Butler One conveyed the message, the entire Blue Star instantly erupted.

Special thanks to Mr. Huang, an older brother who loves reading novels, for his generous reward of nearly 20,000 coins. Xiao Hu is truly flattered and apologizes for the expense. Xiao Hu wishes you all the best, a happy family, good luck every year, and prosperity at all times. I wish you immense wealth and bow to you!

Thank you to Brother Xueli for the reward. Brother, you've also spent a lot. I wish you constant good fortune and immense wealth, and I bow to you!

To all the older brothers and sisters who support my reading, I bow to you all!
