Chapter 27 Unlocking the Space of Chinese National Destiny
Chapter 27 Unlocking the Space of Chinese National Destiny
At this moment, the number of viewers in Cheng Xiyang's live broadcast room has soared to nearly two billion.
This also directly set a record for the largest number of viewers in a single live stream in human history. Although the official live stream had more viewers before, that was the result of multiple platforms combined.
To improve the viewing experience, Douyin platform even launched a hot update with a "live stream clone" feature, similar to how online games partition content, dividing the same large live stream into several smaller live streams to reduce server load.
It is because of this feature that viewers are able to barely see what the comments in the live stream are actually saying.
"Shit, it actually succeeded?"
"Unbelievable, incredible, this is a miracle."
"Haha, Lao Yi is awesome! The male protagonist in the live stream is my roommate!"
"Holy crap, these contribution and computing power rewards are absolutely insane!"
"I'm a little envious. The key question is, how did he know the Type 002 aircraft carrier was off the west coast of the United States?"
"Dude, you guys go into the game without even looking at your phones? American news has been reporting on this for two days now, the Black House has even issued a condemnation, and you guys know absolutely nothing?"
"...Damn it! I wasn't paying attention, I missed a golden opportunity, ah! My heart aches so much."
"Don't be so dramatic. Even if you knew, what could you do? Would you be piloting the CJ-6 trainer? Or landing it on an aircraft carrier?"
"Huh? Then I'll learn it now, and I can do it this way next time I play the game, right?"
Just as the viewers in the live stream were discussing excitedly, frustrated, jealous, or angry, suddenly all the players, whether in real life or in the game, heard the same voice in their minds!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to Chinese player Wang Zhenyi for triggering and completing the National Fortune Challenge!"
"China unlocks its 'national destiny space'."
"All Chinese players can pay computing power to enter this space."
"Within this space, players can engage in a variety of functions such as joint training, joint research, combat simulation, remote conferencing, and leisure and entertainment."
"The computing power paid by players belongs to the official Chinese government."
"Foreign players must obtain official permission from the Chinese government to enter."
"Player-to-player contribution points and computing power trading system launched; nation-to-nation contribution points and computing power trading system launched!"
At that moment, everyone was stunned!
"Special Crab Gift!"
"National destiny space?"
"A venue where joint training and research can be conducted?"
In the Oval Office of the Black House, the President watched the live broadcast and heard the staff's report, a look of surprise on his face.
As the supreme leader, considering various factors, he naturally cannot participate in the game at the moment.
"Fuck, why is it only China that has unlocked the national destiny space?"
"Why haven't we unlocked it?"
"Why is that?!"
Faced with the president's displeased questioning, the staff member hesitated and said:
"Sir, judging from the broadcast description..."
"For a nation to unlock its destiny, its citizens need to trigger and complete the challenges that define its national destiny."
"Just like the live stream you just saw."
"This young Chinese man returned to the aircraft carrier with the intelligence data and Zerg samples he had collected."
"The advisors speculate that his actions could alter the course of the subsequent Zerg war."
"He may have demonstrated his courage and wisdom during the live stream."
"In short, he completed the challenge."
The president was initially only slightly displeased, but after hearing the staff's explanation, he became furious.
"Then why aren't our players triggering and completing the challenge?"
"Are our players just too stupid?"
"Do they lack courage and wisdom?"
Faced with the president's reprimand, the staff member lowered his head and remained silent.
Then, the president turned his attention back to the Secretary of War, Haigris.
"Hegris, please explain."
"Why are our troops performing so poorly in the game?!"
"If Chinese players can achieve such feats, why are our troops doing nothing?"
"I remember you telling me that yourself before the game started."
"The Zerg are nothing. As long as we have prior intelligence and are prepared, we can wipe them out with minimal effort!"
"But what about now? Nevada has completely fallen!"
"Even major cities like New York and Washington were bombed by Zerg parasitic forces."
"Please tell me, why is that?"
Under the president's sharp gaze, Hercules hesitated before explaining:
"In fact, it's all because of David Walker."
"After entering the game, our staff attempted to communicate with the official team to explain the current situation."
"But because of the rebel problem, the authorities didn't trust us at the time."
"This wasted a lot of time, which ultimately caused us to lose the initiative again when the Zerg broke out."
"As you saw in the live broadcast, David Walker also tried to report the news."
"But in the end, he failed and was arrested."
Hercules offered a seemingly reasonable explanation. The Grand President took a deep breath and stopped arguing about the matter, instead issuing an order to everyone present.
"I don't want to repeat the past."
"We must deliver a stunning performance that will amaze the world before the end of this game, just like that young Chinese man."
"Then unlock the space of national destiny."
"I'm sure you all understand how important this is."
"Go get to work!"
Upon hearing the president's words, everyone present immediately spoke in unison:
"yes!"
Just as the Black Palace was in a state of chaos.
Wang Zhenyi finally stood on the deck of the 002 aircraft carrier.
Two people stood before him: the fleet's commander-in-chief and the battle group's chief of staff.
"Hello, Comrade Wang Zhenyi!"
"Well done, you didn't disgrace China."
"Moreover, the Zerg corpses you brought back are of great significance to us."
The fleet commander was a square-faced, stocky leader. He extended his hand to shake hands with Wang Zhenyi while smiling and saying this.
Wang Zhenyi took a deep breath and said seriously:
"You flatter me, sir."
"I think every Chinese person will think of their motherland when they see the Zerg outbreak."
"They will definitely make the same decision as me."
"Try your best to bring the intelligence back."
"Well said!" The commander's face was full of appreciation, and he shook the hand he was holding vigorously.
"No wonder they are students trained in military industry."
"That's a very high level of awareness!"
The commander then changed the subject, turning to the person beside him and explaining:
"Chief of Staff Sun has already spoken to me about other issues, such as games and saving the future."
"He's a player, just like you."
"The officials of our two timelines have reached an agreement to do everything in their power to deal with the Zerg's apocalyptic crisis."
"If you have any thoughts or opinions, please feel free to share them."
"You came back alive from the front lines of the Zerg outbreak at Nellis Air Force Base. I think you have a deeper understanding of many things, which may be helpful for our next operation."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenyi quickly stood at attention and said:
"Yes, sir."
Then the commander-in-chief smiled and said to Chief of Staff Sun:
"Old Sun, you're in charge of receiving guests."
"I'm going back to the command center. Contact me anytime if there are any problems."
The officer of medium build, wearing glasses, and named Chief of Staff Sun smiled and nodded.
After the commander-in-chief left, he actually took a deep breath and saluted:
"Comrade Wang Zhenyi."
"On behalf of the nation across 26 years, I thank you."
"The nation's destiny is extremely important!"
"You're also a researcher, so you definitely understand this better than I do."
Seeing his formal demeanor, Wang Zhenyi was about to say something when he was interrupted. He smiled, patted Wang Zhenyi on the shoulder, and then looked at Cheng Xiyang behind him, saying:
"You two must be tired after flying for so long."
"Come on, I'll find you a bed to rest. You can log off and go back to reality to recharge and check the news or something."
"The whole world is talking about you two right now."
Led by Chief of Staff Sun, the two were led to an officer's duty room, a cramped space of less than three square meters containing a bunk bed.
Lying on the lower bunk, Wang Zhenyi returned to the space of war.
On the screen, the development progress of the cased bullet rifle has reached 21%!
