Chapter 244: Chapter 241 South Heavenly Gate Plan
Data transfer took a full three days.
As Wang Chixi reported the news, several meetings, both large and small, were convened above.
One by one, relevant experts were mobilized and arrived at this astronomical observatory accompanied by the secret service.
When this somewhat amateurish, even rough data packet transmission was completed, the relevant experts immediately gathered around and began flipping through the pages of information.
Although Gu Jinlai’s approach to achieving the nuclear fusion engine was somewhat akin to cutting corners,
he himself hailed from Blue Star and simplified the materials further with an approach of Qingguang, making the information quite accessible and easy to understand.
Although in many places, it was so simplified that it was roughly covered up with the phrase "you know," but...
Experts are experts after all.
They still found some aspects nebulous.
By the second day, they had already deciphered some insights.
By the third day, all the experts had become excited, dedicating twenty-four hours around the clock to studying and understanding this information.
After forty-eight hours of continuous research with hardly any rest by the experts, Wang Chixi and Qiu Yuyu finally received an accurate answer.
It’s true!
This data is real!
Genuinely credible!
And they could certainly use this data to advance the nuclear fusion engine...
even to realize the related technologies of controlled nuclear fusion ahead of schedule.
...
"So, can we confirm that the ’Qian Star person’ is indeed an alien?"
Xie Yusheng murmured to himself.
He received this news ten days after the data transfer was completed.
Following the confirmation of the data related to the nuclear fusion engine, the observatory’s confidentiality level, defense level, and even the organizational level, had all risen several notches.
Not only had it revived the bustling scene from a few months ago, but the number of personnel had also increased threefold compared to that time.
The level of responsibility had been elevated again.
It had transitioned from Wang Chixi and Qiu Yuyu to Zhao Heshan, who held a higher position and more authority.
In addition, a special research team was established to study the Fighting Machine Xuan Nu, Cheng Ying Mecha, and Qingluan Mother Ship.
Lan Yuntian, a titan of the aerospace industry, was in charge.
In front of this industry giant, not to mention Professor Du of Professor Du Dongyuan, whom Xie Yusheng had known before, even Fu Yunshan had to assist.
The team consisted of hundreds, yet the core members were only nine.
Among these nine...
was Xie Yusheng.
Like now, a council of nine was in session.
"So, Xiao Yu, regarding the control system of the Cheng Ying Mecha, what were you thinking at the time? How did you plan to realize it?"
At this moment, an elderly man was asking.
He was an expert in the field of artificial intelligence, Bai Xiangyang.
"Yes, with the current artificial intelligence technology to control such a large mecha, the possibility does not exceed one percent. What method did you plan to use to achieve it? Or, what method do you think the ’Qian Star person’ might use to operate the Cheng Ying Mecha?"
Lan Yuntian also inquired.
His expression remained stern despite Xie Yusheng being an ordinary person.
"My idea at the time..."
Xie Yusheng listened to the two asking and racked his brains to think.
Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles, the epoch-making sci-fi game he wanted to create with all his might.
The numerous imaginative ideas in this game existed only in fantasy before.
But now...
The top scientists of the nation were by his side, continuously discussing the feasibility of realizing this fantasy with him.
Just the thought was exhilarating.
While a meeting was taking place here, another room also hosted discussions with equally serious expressions among fourteen main responsible persons.
"Currently, the data related to the nuclear fusion engine has been passed to our ’Sun’s Light’ group for the second round of verification. According to the news from there, this validation is highly likely to pass smoothly..."
The speaker was Wang Chixi. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"So, now only the most crucial question remains."
Zhao Heshan turned his gaze towards Qiu Yuyu, "Your group has been researching the ’Qian Star person’ for several months now. Now, I need you to give a preliminary conclusion, whether he is a real alien or part of a mysterious organization on our Blue Star with deeply hidden and special technology."
His words also made the gazes of a dozen people in the meeting room simultaneously fall on Qiu Yuyu.
"I believe it’s the former."
Qiu Yuyu took a deep breath, stood up, and spoke, "In terms of technology, although our Central Earth Kingdom is a bit behind those top nations, the difference is not huge. I don’t believe any mysterious organization could possess such technology..."
While he was speaking, he began to distribute the information.
"This is the data we’ve collected, especially the second point, where experts unanimously agreed after verification that this nuclear fusion engine was definitely not produced using any technology we are familiar with," he said.
Qiu Yuyu emphatically said, "It must have been manufactured in a different way, then presented to us in a way we can understand, so much so that many aspects of it cannot be fully explained by our current technology. We can only make do with using it for now..."
He continuously described and shared his theories.
After a good fifteen minutes, he finally concluded, "Therefore, I have every reason to believe that this ’Qian Star person’ has a different form of civilization and technological system behind them, such as anti-gravity technology, spiritual power technology, etc., and he is only considering our capacity to understand, presenting his transformed technology to us in this seemingly crude and popular way—so, I believe that this ’Qian Star person’ is indeed a real alien."
"A whole new system of civilization..."
"I have also received many similar messages, and it really is as if the other party has taken a finished product and reversed engineered it, then expressed it in a way we can understand, so we can comprehend it."
"So, are you saying that some of the flaws and even the rough patches we perceive are not because the other party cannot understand or fully grasp, but rather because their method of implementation is different from ours?"
The heads of various departments in the meeting room exchanged ideas.
"Yes,"
Qiu Yuyu said, "To give a simple analogy, if we need to construct a facility, we would need to use excavators, bulldozers, etc. But what if the other party is immensely strong, able to lift dozens of tons of boulders by themselves? Then, naturally, they wouldn’t need excavators or similar equipment, and they wouldn’t elaborate much, but what to them might be negligible details appear to us filled with holes and defects."
Speaking, he solemnly said, "We must not view this data through our perspective and mode of understanding but should treat the deficiencies in the data through the eyes of a higher civilization form of life."
Qiu Yuyu then sat down, ending his report.
Immediately, the people in the meeting room resumed their discussion.
After a while, as the voices gradually subsided, Zhao Heshan spoke slowly, "It’s been ten days now, and the higher-ups are still waiting for our final conclusion to decide on the final grade of this department. Let’s proceed to the final vote now, how many people believe that this ’Qian Star person’ is indeed an alien? Please vote."
Qiu Yuyu was the first to give an "approved" decision.
Exchanging glances, the people who were discussing ultimately...
Out of the fourteen people in the meeting room, beside Zhao Heshan, twelve gave a positive answer.
"Li Xingzhou?"
Zhao Shanhe looked at the only middle-aged man who had not yet made a decision.
He, after a moment of thought, said, "The reason we are so passionate about ’aliens’ is because of that projection hovering over the skies of Blue Star, which tells us that there are other civilizations besides Blue Star, and many who initially did not believe in ’aliens’ have thus changed their views."
Li Xingzhou continued, albeit with some strain, "But according to our observations, that world is an Immortal World, yet this ’Qian Star person’ seems to come from a world of technology, so I think we should carefully investigate, not rush to elevate privileges to the top level, to avoid getting involved in a meticulously crafted scam, wasting manpower and resources."
"Scam, if someone could produce feasible nuclear fusion technology just for scamming, I wouldn’t mind being tricked,"
Qiu Yuyu said.
Li Xingzhou did not speak further.
He was just expressing his own view.
"Immortal World... Technological World..."
Zhao Shanhe’s gaze swept over everyone, "So, thirteen approved, I will relay this information to the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King."
Clearly, he too agreed with Qiu Yuyu’s statement.
The meeting ended.
The news quickly reached the capital of the kingdom.
After a fierce discussion in the capital, the next day...
A new organization called "South Heavenly Gate Project" was established under the name of Xie Yusheng’s game "Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles," taking full charge of the project.
The establishment of the organization was very secretive.
Yet the power of this project team was frighteningly high, requiring unconditional cooperation from all subordinate departments, and they could investigate nearly all databases. In critical moments, they could even mobilize the surrounding guard forces for operations.
All individuals selected into this department, even those responsible for small projects, saw rapid promotion.
For example, Xie Yusheng, directly promoted from a position equivalent to a Vice Town Mayor at level 10, was raised to level 8.
This level, if posted locally, was already equivalent to the status of a County Master, not a deputy.
Of course, reaching this level of position did not mean he was truly capable of commanding a county by himself; there was still a significant difference.
The first agenda of this newly formed project team was to discuss the export of technologies related to laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons.
Information had to be provided.
The key was...
How to provide it.
To what extent.
Would it be a weakened version...
Or would they simply use the game data from "Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles" to provide an enhanced theoretical version?
...
Gu Jinlai on Blue Star was unaware of these discussions.
During this time, all his energy was focused on the devils in Tianhe and Mu State.
He had already raised the Heavenly Master Torch, but still, the devils from both sides remained indifferent, which obviously was not a good sign.
He couldn’t help but be more vigilant.
...
While he was on guard against the devils of Tianhe and Mu State, a survivor from Dragon Sparrow Manor reached the Yellow Heaven Dao Sect.
