I Found A Planet

Haierfa Base of Operations.

“Master, in the recent Science Lab, the number of players in the North Merica region has increased abnormally. The number of players in the region has suddenly increased from less than a thousand people a week ago to 10,000 all of a sudden. Many players are of a very high standard. They’re likely top scientists.” Alice reported a special situation.

“Oh—” Chen Jin was slightly stunned, but he immediately smiled. “Are they playing hide and seek with me? Their mouths say no, but their bodies are honest.”

Alice said, “Master, do you want to take measures to close all abnormal accounts and prohibit them from logging in?”

All the accounts from the North Merican region were managed by her. She thought about how Merica had repeatedly locked horns with Master and made preparations to ban all those accounts. When it came to any forces that opposed Master, Alice had plenty of ways to make the other party feel regret.

“It’s not necessary to ban their accounts.” Chen Jin shook his head. “We need more talents to join the game.

“But do close the function of extracting scientific results into reality in the North Merican region. Players in that region cannot extract the research results in the game for application in reality. They can only withdraw their points. Haha, I’m not that generous.

“Unless Merica revokes the blockade and sanctions, acknowledges their mistakes, and expresses their sincere apologies, the function of extracting scientific results into reality will remain unavailable.”

It was a hard-liner. Chen Jin’s attitude was very unyielding. There was only one purpose, one result that he wanted to pursue—for Merica to bow their heads. He wanted the warmongers of Merica to bow their heads.

He wanted them to express the cooperative attitude that they should have had, stop dirtying Z nation’s image and slandering the Z people, speak politely, act in a reasonable way, and keep their promises! Only with this could it be possible for the two sides to cooperate in-depth.

If they couldn’t do this, then forget it. Let them see who was the one who couldn’t afford this loss.

“Okay, Master.” Alice immediately shut down the function of extracting scientific results into reality in the entire North Merican region, as ordered.

…

Very quickly, less than two hours later, Robert Simon received a call from a student. “Professor, we were discovered by Xing Hai Technologies. They took restrictive actions, and now the button to extract scientific results in the game has disappeared; we can’t extract the technology in the game.

“All we can get from this game now is the accumulation of points and some theoretical knowledge. The real technical information and the specific technical implementation steps cannot be extracted.

“They’ve closed a door, and it was the most important one.” The tone of the student on the phone was helpless and despondent.

Robert Simon wasn’t surprised. “As long as those short-sighted and stupid politicians are still in power, Xing Hai Technologies will always be closed to us. In the culture of the Z people, this is called ‘an eye for an eye.’ Don’t expect the Z people to be as stupid as our politicians. They know how to fight.”

Moreover, it wasn’t just in the country of Merica where the function of extracting scientific results into reality had been closed.

Two neighboring countries of Merica, Cadana and Mexico, had also been implicated. They were innocents who had served as collateral damage. The function of extracting scientific results into reality had been made unavailable in their countries, too… With Merica’s die-hard little brother, Cadana, as an example, it showed that Xing Hai Technologies would rather hurt the innocent than leave a loophole for Merica to exploit.

Cadana’s government was immediately scolded by their scientific community. “We are an independent country. Why do we have to follow behind Merica’s *ss?”

Mexican netizens complained that Xing Hai Technologies was too overbearing. They sighed. “Why are we being punished too? Why is heaven so far away, but Merica so close to us?”

At the same time, the scientific community of Merica insisted on preparing a joint letter again untiringly. Many scientists had also voiced their opinions on various media platforms to clarify the necessity of cooperating with Xing Hai Technologies and criticize the ignorance of the theory of technical theft.

But the characteristic of the internet was this—”I believe only what I believe, and see only what I want to see.” Hence, there were feew netizens who were willing to listen to the opinions of the scientists from Merica and even fewer who could accept these opinions.

“Loyal advice jars the ears, but actions based on the advice will be beneficial to the listener.” But this wasn’t necessarily the case on the internet. Loyal advice was hard to accept on the internet, and it was even more impossible to make people take action based on advice.

Moreover, with the mad manipulation by hard-line politicians who pushed for the technical theft theory, those politicians had attained a higher public support rate. They became more popular amongst the people. Therefore, they were even more reluctant to change their previous stances. Instead, they would continue to strengthen and hard-line their attitudes, even if they knew that they were idiots in their hearts.

Therefore, rather than saying that the Merican politicians sucked, it was better to say that the people of Merica sucked. The type and quality of a flower were based on the soil it grew from. The “flowers” that were selected via election would cause the soil to worsen… This was a vicious circle.

For those politicians, the public opinion support rate was their number one concern! As for other things, who cared?

…

It was now August. The atmosphere of the entire earth began to become somewhat agitated. On the one hand, it was because of the hot weather in the northern hemisphere. On the other hand, it was because of this one thing that had attracted the attention of many national media outlets.

Just last July, Xing Hai Technologies had made a decision to go international and reached a strategic partnership with two countries.

After calculating the time, one realized that it had been a whole year since then. This was the promise Xing Hai Technologies had made last year: a few suitable countries would be selected every year and strategic partnerships would be formed… That meant that a new group of bootlickers would be recruited every year. Logically speaking, the second batch would be recruited in July and August of that year.

Various countries were also eagerly awaiting. They wanted to make it into the quota set for the number of partnership countries each year.

Diplomats from several countries who were stationed in Z nation were determined to win a place for their country. Their countries even issued a military order—if the diplomats couldn’t obtain a place on the quota, they would be shipped back to their home countries.

Many heads of state also took to their mobile phones and logged into their personal social media accounts. They had gotten their secretaries who were graced with literary talent to prepare hundreds of comments praising Z nation or denouncing Merica in advance. The literary quality of each comment was extraordinarily touching.

When the time came that they needed to publish a comment, they could post it on their account immediately. It was guaranteed to get them a high score. It could be said that countries who were eager to get a partnership with Xing Hai Technologies had let go of their concerns and prepared everything!

The Little Star learning machine, the Virtual Factory, and the Work Assistant: these three core products from Xing Hai Technologies made them so envious that all countries yearned for them. They could even be called the “three major engines” of a powerful country. If one could get these three engines, his or her country would have the hope of rapid advancement on all fronts.

Not too many examples needed to be given. This was the extent of advancement and development that the current Z nation had achieved. All the heads of state became stunned and lost for words when they visited Z nation… In just a few years, the Z nation had changed so much that they thought they had arrived on another planet.

“Z nation has already become stronger than Merica” became their consensus.

The first country to cooperate with Xing Hai Technologies, the UK, had experienced an average GDP growth rate of five percent in the past four quarters and recorded its highest growth in more than 30 years… This old empire seemed to have been rejuvenated.

So… there was no need to hesitate or wait any longer. If one didn’t hurry to seize the opportunity, one would fall behind and meet a terrible fate! However, Chen Jin wasn’t in a hurry to announce the second round of partnership plans.

He pushed his schedule back a little to pay attention to the latest results of an exam, the national senior high school and college entry examination held in mid-to-late August each year!
