455: Team building three years later

Three years after the Initial World.

Santorinoya Hotel.

The spacious lobby was now set with several huge round tables.

Liu Yan, Jacob, Wang Yuhao, Kai Silva, and others, along with several acting executives from Asara, were sitting together at one table.

Jacob took a light sip of red wine and looked at Wang Yuhao with a smile.

"Coming out for team building today, does it interfere with your work?"

Before Wang Yuhao could answer, Kai Silva waved his hand.

"Work, my ass. You know perfectly well what the situation is like now."

"With the three letters GTI just sitting there, does anyone dare to commit crimes? Does any country dare to stir up trouble?"

Wang Yuhao also chimed in from the side:

"Since as early as last year, we've basically had no work."

"Those few times the year before last, relying on the airdrop of the ten thousand gold tear crown, we completely intimidated all the restless countries."

"After all, with our tripartite cooperation, to be honest, wanting to unify this world is just a matter of a single sentence."

Hearing this, Jacob laughed twice and then sighed with emotion:

"Looking back now, the decision of tripartite cooperation really changed a lot of things."

"Relying on the coordination between GTI and Asara, the entire world's technology is now experiencing an explosion."

"The Tidal Prison is no longer necessary, and Asara is now one of the top major powers."

"As for GTI, it goes without saying; the weight of these three letters is already engraved in everyone's heart."

After Jacob finished speaking, many people nodded in sincere agreement.

If this place used to be inseparable from war,

then now, even if one wanted a war to break out, it would be impossible.

After all, no country is stupid enough to think about challenging the combined forces of Hafke, GTI, and Asara on its own.

Resources, technology, combat proficiency.

The three combined, growing exponentially at the same time.

It can be said that even without Liu Yan's help now,

the combined strength of the three parties is enough to take on all the countries in the world.

"Every gathering basically comes with good news. Tell us, what's the good news this time?"

"What have you developed again?"

Liu Yan, sitting nearby, took a bite of a chocolate bun and asked Jacob casually.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others also cast expectant gazes toward Jacob.

Jacob smiled a bit embarrassedly.

"Hmm, this time it's a bit different."

"We've solved a few key technical difficulties."

"I'm so happy, I couldn't help but want to tell everyone in advance."

"Even if I tell you, you might not understand. After all, when Dr. Romisius told me about it, my head was spinning too."

"But the general idea is."

"In the next few years, perhaps we can achieve..."

Jacob deliberately drew out the sound.

This really whetted everyone's appetite.

Even Liu Yan stopped chewing.

Seeing that Jacob was dragging it out, Liu Yan finally couldn't suppress his curiosity:

"Hurry up and say it. Why are you dragging it out so much? Did you spray delay spray on your mouth?"

Jacob rolled his eyes, feeling extremely speechless.

"No, it's been three years. Can't you be a bit more mature when you speak?"

"You're at least the key figure who brought about the tripartite cooperation."

"Everyone supports you in their hearts."

"But what kind of things come out of your mouth every day? Do you know how many employees from Hafke and Asara have picked up your way of speaking?"

Mai Xiaowen hurriedly raised her hand at this moment. After standing up, she pointed directly at the cheerful Geheros nearby.

"Yes, and him too!"

"Liu Yan wasn't like this at all when he first arrived. Ever since he came into contact with Geheros, I don't know how he ended up like this."

"I remember when Geheros left GTI, he wasn't like this either!"

"Now there are many newcomers in GTI, and Wang Yuhao..." Speaking of this, Mai Xiaowen felt a bit embarrassed to continue, and then sat back down.

"Anyway, they just say those things every day."

"Things like 'tubes'..." Mai Xiaowen's voice was like a mosquito's.

But everyone present heard it clearly.

"I also learned it from Liu Yan." Geheros drank some water, his face not turning red and his heart not beating faster.

"Not a serious bone in your body, every single day." Golden Luna glanced at Kai Silva with annoyance.

"Wait, what? What does this have to do with me? Who mentioned me, or did I say something?" Kai Silva looked aggrieved and confused.

"Isn't that talking about Mighty Dragon?"

Kai Silva looked at Wang Yuhao.

The latter was chattering away to Mai Xiaowen about something.

But looking at his manner, and knowing his hometown, Kai Silva knew that Wang Yuhao was apologizing there.

Although everyone looked like they were arguing, in reality, they were all laughing.

Seeing this, Jacob couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Alright, let him be. He won't be able to change this way of speaking anytime soon."

"I originally wanted to push him to the forefront, but I think it's better to let him stay in the shadows."

"Otherwise, if he becomes a public figure and suddenly blurts out something weird, it'll be posted online for the rest of his life."

Jacob took a sip of the plain water nearby and cleared his throat.

"Ahem—"

"What I'm about to say next, you might find hard to understand."

"In the next few years."

"We can achieve the following types of technology one after another."

"Note, it's several types, not just one."

"First, world transition technology."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped what they were doing; even the act of chewing involuntarily stopped.

A second later, several swallowing sounds were heard.

Roy widened his eyes and looked at Jacob in disbelief.

"Old man, what are you talking about? World... transition?"

Jacob nodded with a smile.

"Yes, that's right."

"In the vast universe, it's not just our world that exists."

"It might not even be in the same galaxy."

"They are very far from us, so far that there will be a discrepancy in time."

"For example, suppose you take a spaceship to get there. Even if it only takes a few years, when you return to us, you will find that decades or even centuries have passed here."

As Jacob spoke, he saw the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, and then he showed an apologetic expression.

"Sorry everyone, I won't go into these complex details."

"In the future, we will be able to discover and travel to other worlds without being affected by this time discrepancy."

"Therefore, it's called transition."

It took everyone a long time to barely digest this information.

"Does that mean... an upgrade to the entire civilization level?"

An acting Asara executive asked, unable to believe it.

Jacob gave him a thumbs up.

"Exactly right."

"Besides that, there are also the following technologies that will achieve breakthroughs in the next few years."

"Biological cloning and consciousness uploading."

"By collecting information, we can completely clone someone exactly like us."

"Then upload the consciousness to the cloud for backup, so even if we die, we can use this to resurrect."

After saying this, Jacob's brows furrowed slightly.

"However, there is a problem, and Dr. Romisius hasn't given me an accurate answer yet."

"That is, at that time, would we still be 'us'?"

"The doctor's answer is that people are composed of memories."

This time, surprise appeared on everyone's faces, along with deep thought.

Liu Yan was about to speak, but Jacob raised his hand to interrupt him first:

"I know what you're going to say, don't worry."

"In these three years, don't you know me well enough?"

"Before I'm sure of the stability of this experiment, I won't open up access permissions."

Hearing this, Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During the rest of the meal, Jacob hardly ate anything.

It was almost as if while everyone else was eating, Jacob was chattering away on the side about various future developments.

It was so shocking that everyone couldn't fully comprehend it.

Everyone only knew one thing.

That is, this world is already completely different from before.

A new era is about to arrive.

And Liu Yan now roughly guessed the trigger method for that glass ball, which is the tear of the ocean.

Although he doesn't know its ability yet.

The reason he could know the trigger method,

is because in these three years,

no one around him has died.

And the tear of the ocean has never had the slightest change.
