77: Dreamy Love Seraphim

Speeches like this were continuously performed in countries surrounding Dragon Country, comparable to a contest of surrender.

The general meaning was: We are good friends with Dragon Country, and we fully support everything Dragon Country does. We will provide money if needed and effort if needed; it would be even better if they could let us join in.

[Glory Canyon] A match in the Valiant Bronze tier.

The ten players tacitly remained in the fountain, none leaving the high ground, turning the ranked match into a chat room.

[Nursery]: Bros, have you seen the news? Those guys next door were acting all passive-aggressive a while ago, but these past two days it's turned straight into a surrender contest. It feels amazing!

[Garden Gunner]: Hahahaha, I'm watching the news right now. It's making this old lady die of laughter.

[Power of the Small Sword]: I just sent my cousin off to the conscription office. The scene there was absolutely explosive.

[Kindergarten Robber]: What kind of super project are they building in Xijiang? My dad's entire construction company project department was dragged over there to do manual labor.

[Cannot Heal Anymore]: My second uncle drives a heavy truck, and he said Xijiang is building roads on a massive scale.

[Elementary School Hand]: This scale is terrifying. Could it be that we're really going to fight aliens? After all, Dragon Country's current strength can completely crush everything.

... Xijiang. Starport core area.

A group of Dragon Country's top aerospace scientists, escorted by a security team, successfully arrived at the construction base for the space elevator.

Although they had seen the specific data long ago, this feeling was completely different from truly standing before it and witnessing it firsthand.

The massive base stood like a small mountain, its metallic exterior walls reflecting the sunlight and filled with a sense of the future.

Among the team, Old Man Wang, hailed as the Father of Dragon Country Aerospace, felt profoundly shocked.

The base was largely complete, with only the most crucial levitation device yet to be activated.

Around the construction site, various strange and wonderful machines were operating rapidly, all of them unmanned.

“From a physics perspective, building the space elevator on the equator is the most appropriate location.”

“Because the centrifugal force generated by the Earth's rotation can counteract gravity to the greatest extent, allowing the elevator cable to maintain relative verticality and stability.”

“If we choose to build the space elevator in Xijiang, the assistance provided is very limited, and it will instead become extremely difficult.”

Beside him, an elderly man with graying temples and wearing a white lab coat agreed.

“Yes, this is completely thankless work. Although it is a good thing that such a strategic resource can be established within our borders, we must also consider realistic factors.”

As soon as this statement was made, discussions broke out.

“Exactly. To complete this, it requires extra energy for correction, and a supercomputer must be installed in the space module to calculate the rotation frequency of the Blue Star in real-time.”

“The cable side is fine, though. The strength and toughness of the carbon nanotube t-4 can completely handle the load.”

At this moment, a cartoon ghost pattern appeared on a small electronic screen near the base.

Several beams of light intersected and flashed, forming a three-dimensional holographic projection.

[We are using an adaptive dynamic balancing system]

[The intelligent platform located in synchronous orbit is equipped with a propulsion system that can perform real-time position adjustments, fully offsetting the orbital inclination issues caused by latitude]

[The cable uses an active damping design, and tens of thousands of control nodes, managed by the intelligent platform, can effectively suppress oscillation]

Old Man Wang said, “Although this is theoretically feasible, making it truly operational requires extremely powerful computing power and massive energy support.”

The light shifted, forming a virtual projection of the flint Generation Two module.

[flint Generation Two Nuclear Energy Module]

[The maximum instantaneous output power is equivalent to the annual total of ten large power plants, which is completely sufficient to support the operation of the intelligent platform]

The cartoon ghost blinked its eyes and continued speaking.

[I am fully responsible for the computing power aspect]

Hearing this, Old Man Wang fell into deep thought.

He hadn't expected Xinghai to have even produced the second generation of flint.

Energy, materials, and computing power were all up to standard. Thus, the completion of the space elevator was no longer a problem.

“I see. We were simply being provincial.”

At that moment, someone leaned close to Old Man Wang's ear and whispered a few words.

Only then did Old Man Wang realize that the higher-ups had told them to come and assist Xinghai in completing the construction of the space elevator.

But given the current situation, it seemed they couldn't help at all; instead, they could learn a lot of knowledge that surpassed the current era on Xinghai's construction site.

The higher-ups must have intended for us to come here as a study group, right?

Old Man Wang sighed, letting out a wry laugh.

“Stop spacing out. Our purpose for being here is to learn from the future.”

Starry Sky Station, second-floor balcony.

He Ming leaned against the railing, his gaze directed toward the location of the space elevator base.

Starlight seemed to flicker in his eyes.

Although separated by more than a hundred kilometers, he could clearly see every action of the group of scientists near the base.

He could even clearly see the wrinkles on Old Man Wang's face and the hot sweat continuously seeping from his forehead.

This was the complete transformation brought about after his life index surpassed forty thousand points.

Of course, this also required coordinating with the special divine ability [Clairvoyance].

“jarvis, what are the current Life Indexes of Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Zhifei?”

“Sir, Bai Xiaofei's life index is: 5746.”

“Zhang Zhifei's life index is: 5123.”

He Ming withdrew his gaze and turned to walk downstairs.

“That's enough. Take them to see their prizes.”

“Understood, Sir.”

In the next room.

Zhang Zhifei finished his cultivation. Feeling the surging power within him, what he was thinking about was finally being able to pilot a mecha in star sea knight: enlightenment and utterly destroy the Hai Star fleet.

At that moment, his wristband emitted several beams of light, which intersected to form a virtual projection of Baize.

“Congratulations, you have successfully passed all the adaptability tests.”

Zhang Zhifei's eyes instantly became extremely bright, and the image of his dream mecha, the seraph—painted dark black and equipped with eight-winged thrusters—appeared in his mind.

He forcefully swung his fist, and the resulting gust of wind rustled the pages of the novel [Rebirth of the Ace Pilot] on his desk.

Although the nearly isolated cultivation during this period was very tough, requiring him to endure the pain of medicinal baths every day, it was all worth it. He was finally going to get the seraph.

“star sea knight, launch!”

“Where is my virtual helmet? You can give it back to me now, right!”

Baize: “Please proceed immediately to the main hall for assembly. The vehicle heading to the core hangar is already waiting at the entrance.”

Zhang Zhifei was slightly confused. Hadn't he completed all the tests already?

What exactly was the core hangar?

Carrying his confusion, he went downstairs.

At the entrance, Bai Xiaofei and He Ming were already seated in the vehicle.

Zhang Zhifei jogged to the car and sat down next to He Ming.

“Mingshen, do you know where we are going?”
