385: Do you believe in science?

“How is this possible?”

Upon hearing George’s words, He Yan’s face instantly filled with surprise.

At the same time, he was also very confused as to why he would think that way.

Taking ordinary soldiers in the restricted zone as an example, normally, for ordinary difficulty, they wear Level 1 to Level 2 helmets and armor; for confidential difficulty, it’s Level 2 to Level 3; and for top-secret difficulty, it’s Level 3 to Level 4.

As for the equipment of the map BOSS, it is two levels higher than that of ordinary soldiers: Level 4 armor for ordinary difficulty, Level 5 armor for confidential difficulty, and potentially Level 6 armor for top-secret difficulty.

Regardless of the map, this is basically an ironclad rule within the restricted zone, and there has never been an error.

It was also for this reason that He Yan immediately expressed doubt about George’s conjecture without a second thought.

“With all due respect, General Examiner, the soldiers in this Endless Night Dam should be wearing the same level of equipment as soldiers in top-secret difficulty, meaning ordinary soldiers start with a Level 3 set and go up to a Level 4 set. This is a rule of the restricted zone; there shouldn’t be any other situation.”

“I beg to differ.”

George smiled faintly, then asked,

“Examiner He, do you believe in science?”

Upon hearing this question, He Yan’s eyebrows immediately twitched.

Why did this George suddenly ask about this?

From the mainstream thought of Blue Star, people certainly believe in science. Even regarding the appearance of the restricted zone, people hope to explain it using science.

After all, people know that the world connected by the restricted zone is still a technology-dominated world, not like fantasy novels with magic and various strange races.

Moreover, the technology in the world on the other side of the restricted zone is even much more advanced than Blue Star. Since even another world places such importance on science, as a member of Blue Star, He Yan naturally also believes in science.

“I believe in science.”

He Yan replied.

“Then you should know that science is developed based on empiricism, which means it is the summary and generalization of all objective phenomena that occur. This is called science.”

“I understand that.”

“Then do you think that the rule you just mentioned, ‘in a top-secret difficulty restricted zone, ordinary soldiers should wear a Level 3 or Level 4 set,’ does it belong to science?”

George still asked with a faint smile and a calm tone.

And upon hearing this, He Yan finally understood what he wanted to express.

“Are you suggesting that this rule might be broken?”

Although He Yan had already admitted that people’s experience and summaries of the restricted zone were science, he also deeply understood that no matter what kind of science, it was not always correct.

Just like the history of development from the geocentric model to the heliocentric model, or the challenge of quantum mechanics to classical mechanics, as people continuously explore the unknown, the laws and definitions of science are always in a trend of being broken, reshaped, broken again, and reshaped again.

And the main point George wanted to convey after asking so many questions was one sentence.

That is, whether the appearance of this Endless Night Dam would break some of the existing perceptions people had about the rules of the restricted zone.

Noticing the change in his eyes, George also knew that he had more or less figured it out, so he smiled and continued to speak.

“Examiner He, you are a smart man, but it seems you don’t think certain rules will be broken. How about we make a bet?”

“Bet on what?”

“Let’s bet on the ownership of Xiao Yun’s squad.”

George smiled faintly, saying it half-jokingly.

“If you lose, Xiao Yun’s squad will belong to our Lighthouse Country. If you win, you can pick any team from our Lighthouse Country.”

“This kind of issue cannot be used for a bet. As long as Xiao Yun and his team are Dragon Country operatives, they will always belong to our Dragon Country GTI.”

Upon hearing this bet, He Yan immediately waved his hand without a second thought, stating righteously.

He Yan knew that in countries like the Lighthouse Country, where capital reigns supreme, GTI Professional Teams are bought and sold like commodities.

Every squad that achieves results in the restricted zone often has the backing of a large company, and their actions represent the company behind them, just like football teams, where not only players can be traded, but entire teams can be bought and sold.

However, in Dragon Country, this tradition has never existed.

All professional teams belong to the Dragon Country GTI Official, and where they operate, local support is provided.

Moreover, considering Xiao Yun’s current potential, he is very likely to be a world record-breaking existence. Even if the strongest team in the Lighthouse Country, which is also the strongest team in the world, were to be exchanged, it would be hard to say who would profit and who would lose.

“Hahaha, I was just joking with you.”

George laughed heartily, not feeling awkward about being rejected, or perhaps he knew from the beginning that he would be rejected.

“Then how about this, let’s change to a more reasonable bet. If you lose, after Xiao Yun and his team finish their test, let them also register a separate data set with the GTI in Lighthouse Country. Then they can also come to Lighthouse Country for activities.”

George said calmly, but He Yan, upon hearing this, was utterly shocked.

Good heavens, this foreigner has really studied Dragon Country culture thoroughly!

Isn’t this what that Zhou Shuren said: if you want someone to install a window, you say you want to tear down the roof, and then they will agree to install a window.

“Your initial goal was actually this, wasn’t it?”
