114: Unlock permissions, what is worth copying in Daxia

Chapter 114: Unlocking Permissions, What is Worth Copying in Da Xia? Surprised, there's a Great Wall in the North too?

“Tell Fan to hurry up and arrange for the system to be fully open-sourced as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuli immediately offered his opinion.

If it were other matters, he wouldn't need to rush the arrangements, but for the ‘os smart phone system’ previously submitted by the ‘Mysterious Organization,’ Zhang Yuli was quite impatient.

The open-sourcing of the system must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

“I know, I’ll go remind Fan right away.”

Zheng Lixing echoed.

He knew the urgency of this matter.

If Da Xia didn't prioritize seizing the smart phone market, Google and Apple would, and even Microsoft was eyeing it covetously.

Therefore, the immediate priority was to quickly arrange for the ‘OS System’ to be open-sourced, so that all smart phones released by domestic manufacturers would be equipped with this system, and at the same time use the integrated phone solution provided by Da Xia, using this as an advantage to quickly seize market share in the smart phone sector.

If they continued to delay, global smart phone manufacturers would all develop phones based on ‘Android’ and ‘WIN’ systems, and by the time other mobile operating systems dominated the market and had a large number of applications and users, it would be too late.

You simply wouldn't be able to convince the vast majority of other software developers to redesign their software for this one OS System.

An operating system without software, no matter how powerful, is like water without a source; it simply cannot make much of a splash.

After discussing this point.

At this moment, Zheng Lixing seemed to recall something and then spoke: “Zhang, if Persia procures Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on a large scale again…”

“It seems our dividends to the ‘Mysterious Organization’ will also increase significantly.”

Among the five billion usd Da Xia previously paid to the ‘Mysterious Organization,’ only one billion usd was for carbon fiber dividends, but the dividends for the Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles had not yet been paid.

“I know, but the exact amount is quite difficult to calculate…”

Zhang Yuli frowned: “Next time we contact them, I’ll discuss it thoroughly with the ‘Mysterious Organization’ to see how best to pay them.”

Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles might have orders coming in at any moment, meaning the dividends would increase a little every day.

Although each individual amount might not be large, the cumulative total would not be a small sum.

Therefore, Da Xia must pay exactly what is due, not a single cent less to the ‘Mysterious Organization’; this is a matter of principle for both sides.

However, it’s impossible to have them collect dividends once a month, right? That would be too troublesome.

It should be like the ‘smart phone’ technology, where all payments are made promptly on January 1st each year, which also makes statistics easier.

“This is the best solution.”

After resolving this matter, Zheng Lixing happily took a sip of tea.

He reached under the table, pulled out a chessboard, glanced at Zhang Yuli, and raised an eyebrow, saying: “Come on, we haven’t played chess in days.”

“Since we have a rare free moment today, let’s play a few more rounds. Last time, it was just an accident that you managed to win a few times.”

Because he had been busy dealing with the ‘Mysterious Organization’s’ visit to Da Xia these days, he was so busy that he barely had time to play chess, let alone the past few days he was in Northwest, where he was so busy he didn't even have time to eat.

Now that he finally had some free time, his chess craving was immediately piqued.

“When have you ever won against me in chess?” Zhang Yuli asked curiously: “I don’t know where you get such a strong addiction.”

“All these years, I haven’t seen your chess skills improve at all…”

To simply describe Zheng Lixing's chess addiction, he's bad, but loves to play, and the worse he is, the more he loves to play.

Looking at his excited expression, Zhang Yuli shook his head: “Later, I’ll read the information in the newspaper first.”

Although people of his rank receive a special document every morning, containing key summarized news and political consultations from home and abroad.

For example, regarding the events in the Middle East, he and Zheng Lixing actually knew about them as soon as they happened.

However, Zhang Yuli was more interested in seeing how terrifyingly controlled these media outlets were, to be able to alter the perceptions of all people worldwide.

‘If it were the same domestically…’ Zhang Yuli’s eyes flashed with solemnity.

What a terrifying method is this? And what a chilling conspiracy.

If they wanted to, they could turn the entire world upside down.

This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen; he must nip it in the bud.

However.

As Zhang Yuli was thinking about this, he suddenly saw Zheng Lixing beside him deep in thought: “Old Zheng, what have you thought of?”

Seeing his hesitant expression, Zhang Yuli knew he had something to say.

“Zhang, I remember we had journalists stationed in Gaza, didn’t we?” Zheng Lixing asked with doubt.

Instantly, Zhang Yuli frantically searched his mind, his brows furrowed into a frown, and finally recalled: “It seems so… And she’s currently the only war correspondent in Gaza worldwide, a girl in her early twenties.”

Speaking of this, his words were full of emotion.

Such a beautiful girl actually went to such a dangerous war-torn area alone; it could only be described as a heroine who rivals men.

“Then I think we should get first-hand information very soon.” Zheng Lixing nodded.

If she was currently safe and sound, Da Xia would soon receive real-time information from her on the battlefield.

But if there was still no message back at this time…

Thinking of this, the two old men's faces simultaneously became solemn, their hearts sinking.

Even war correspondents cannot guarantee any personal safety.

It would even be merciful if they didn't specifically attack journalists and news media.

Just then, suddenly.

The phone on the table rang, and Zhang Yuli picked it up, a smile immediately blooming on his face.

“The war correspondent named Ye Ying has sent back first-hand real-time battlefield information to GNTV and CTV.”

At the same time.

Yumen Pass, within the scenic hotel.

Today was Monday, and also the last day of their visit to the Yumen Pass ruins.

[Current Achievement Points: 20300 points.]

[Current Copy Count: 1 time!] (Refreshes once every Monday.)

Waking up early, Lu Ze lay in bed, looking at the system panel on the light screen, lost in deep thought for a long time.

‘Counting the heavy truck I copied yesterday, I have accumulated 9 copy counts.’

‘That means, I’m only one copy away from unlocking the purple draw, which requires ten.’

‘Should I just copy something once now?’ he thought to himself.

Originally, Lu Ze had planned to wait until he returned to Eagleland before copying another technological item and smoothly unlocking the purple draw.

However, now the copy count had refreshed.

He was only one copy away from unlocking it, and he really couldn't wait any longer.

‘It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be much for me to copy here in Da Xia.’

‘It’s even hard to find technological items with relatively high achievement points,’ Lu Ze ruffled his hair, a bit annoyed.

He tried hard to scour his mind but couldn't think of any technology in Da Xia that he could copy.

Furthermore, what technology could Da Xia itself be lacking within its borders?

And for items like the C-5M transport plane, even if he materialized the real thing, the system wouldn't allow him to copy it repeatedly.

Even the same item cannot be copied a second time.

“Forget it, I’ll copy it if there’s a good opportunity later.”

Lu Ze muttered: “If not, I’ll save the count and wait until I go back to Eagleland to copy good stuff.”

Although he was very interested in unlocking the purple draw, he couldn't just squander his one copy count per week.

He patted his head, letting all those thoughts vanish into thin air.

After a while, Lucy, who had already packed her luggage, walked out of the room: “Lu Ze, are we still staying here until the afternoon?”

According to the original plan, the two would travel in the surrounding cities for a few more days, then return to Lu Ze's hometown for two or three days, and then fly back to Eagleland on Sunday at the tail end of the holiday.

Upon hearing this.

“No, we’ll check out in a bit.” Lu Ze shook his head: “But, do you want to travel to Da Xia’s northernmost region to take a look?”

“I think you’re probably tired of the scenery here in Northwest Province.”

Traveling there was just a secondary excuse; Lu Ze’s main purpose was to choose Da Xia’s northernmost region as the location for this ‘surprise’ gift.

Considering geographical factors and various other reasons, it was also perfectly suitable for placing a super-large transport plane like the C-5M.

Other inland or coastal cities were not very suitable at the moment.

Hearing this.

“Da Xia’s northernmost region?” Lucy asked with some confusion: “What would we see there? It doesn’t seem to have any famous historical sites, and it’s not winter now.”

She blinked, seemingly with big questions in her small head.

Isn't this northern region only fun in winter?

And now it was summer; what could be good to see there this season?

“There are all sorts of extremely delicious and inexpensive foods there.”

Lu Ze tidied Lucy’s slightly messy hair, then continued: “Have you ever had a buffet for one usd?”

“Have you ever tried a meal where you can eat your fill for just 0.5 usd?”

“For just a few usd a day, you can try food from all over the world. Don’t you want to go to such a place?”

“Hiss…” Lucy involuntarily spoke her mind: “I really want to go…”

A buffet for one usd?

You couldn't even buy a bread for that price.

Are all the businesses in Da Xia’s northernmost region charity organizations?

“And haven’t you always said you wanted to see the Great Wall? You can visit the Great Wall right there.”

“The Great Wall??” Lucy’s face was full of suspicion: “Isn’t your Da Xia’s Great Wall for resisting the Jurchens and Khitans? And wasn’t the northernmost region the home of these people in ancient times?”

She looked as if to say, ‘Don’t treat me like I don’t know Da Xia history.’ How could there be something like the Great Wall in Da Xia’s northernmost region?

After all, the Great Wall was built to resist foreign invaders, and in Da Xia’s ancient history, the northernmost region was mostly under the control of foreign tribes.

“Who told you there’s no Great Wall in the north? And the ancient Huns and Xiongnu have nothing to do with today’s northerners.”

Lu Ze, somewhat helplessly, gave Lucy a history lesson about ancient Da Xia.

Compared to Da Xia’s Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li, the situation of the Great Wall of a Thousand Li in the northernmost region was quite the opposite.

The former was built by ancient Da Xia people to prevent foreign invasions, while the latter was built by ancient Goryeo, fearing attacks from Da Xia.

“When we come back to Da Xia for the Spring Festival, let’s go play in Yanjing.”

Lu Ze patted her head and said.

Lucy had told him before that she would come back to Da Xia for more travel during her next vacation.

He picked up her luggage and stepped out the door.

At this moment, as the two were setting off for the North.

An internet conference was also quietly being held.
