Chapter 1354 – Nuwa
The Great Xia spaceship itself was a moving castle.
Trestle, meeting room, dining area, dorms, entertainment room, medical rooms, cultivation rooms, storage area, vegetable planting tent, animal husbandry breeding center, and other facilities were all present.
The storage contained all kinds of tools, energy resources, and more.
It was basically self-sufficient.
AIs ran the spaceship. Unless an emergency occurred, it would be unmanned.
The huge gift from Gaia was an AI.
The AI in charge of the Great Xia spaceship had a special history; it was a secondary level AI split from the Gaia mainframe.
Its potential for future development was no less than Gaia itself.
Controlling the spaceship was just one of its basic abilities. Apart from that, it was also connected to Gaia’s network.
Hence, even when the team reached Planet Hope, they could use this AI to log onto Earth Online.
That was amazing!
Before this, the part that worried Ouyang Shuo the most was losing his connection to the game world after arriving on Planet Hope. If that happened, Bing’er would be forced to deal with everything on her own.
That would be a little too tough for her.
Now, things were different. In the future, although Ouyang Shuo would focus his efforts on Planet Hope, he could still log on occasionally to show his face in the imperial capital; that would be enough to warn and scare everyone.
Great Xia’s final problem had totally disappeared.
Ouyang Shuo was eternally grateful about Gaia’s big gift. He would remember it in his heart.
He decided to name this AI Nuwa.
Apart from the aforementioned functions, Nuwa would also be Ouyang Shuo’s greatest assistant in the future. Her importance would even exceed all of the officials.
With her strong storage capacity, calculation ability, and data processing ability, she would easily be able to take over public matters of the base and set up a system similar to Skynet.
This alone could save a lot of resources and labor.
Not only that, but Nuwa could also connect to Gaia’s databases to take Great Xia data and let Ouyang Shuo control the Great Xia Empire from far away.
This AI could accomplish many things; it was impossible to list them all.
…
5th month, 15th day, Arab Empire.
Compared to the determination of Persian Empire, the Arab Empire was worse. The moment the Great Xia Army attacked, the Arab King could not take it, and he surrendered after a week.
The might of Great Xia was actually so terrifying.
A major factor was Ouyang Shuo’s reveal of Nuwa’s presence on the web.
This caused an uproar throughout the world.
Normal players were naturally happy for Ouyang Shuo. At the very least, they could use Nuwa to find out about the frontline base construction status and feel more at ease.
However, to Jack and the other kings, this was a massive nightmare.
“So we did it all for nothing?” Jack was stunned, and his mouth hung agape. He did not expect such a result after all their efforts.
The presence of Nuwa prevented Ouyang Shuo’s journey to Planet Hope from causing any loses to Great Xia.
On the contrary, his expedition helped to greatly gather up military and people’s sentiment, making the overseas people feel closer and more honored to be from Great Xia.
Along the way, the problems that arose from Great Xia’s rapid expansion slowly disappeared.
Great Xia was going to become even stronger.
The part that left Jack feeling uncomfortable was Ouyang Shuo actually establishing an exploration team in such a short time. He had solved the problem of needing two set of teams and had formed a positive connection between the game and real life.
This felt really painful to Jack.
“If I knew that this would happen, I would have taken the gamble myself.” Jack was filled with regret.
Jack’s grandfather had an even deeper worry with regards to all this.
“I have always felt that Gaia was behind all of this. I think we have all been played.” Jack’s grandfather revealed a solemn expression.
Even without mentioning anything else, Nuwa’s presence was unusual.
Even if Jack’s grandfather knew nothing about AIs, he still possessed common sense. Splitting out a top level AI like Nuwa would sure take a lot out of Gaia.
When Gaia revealed the rewards, she did not reveal anything about Nuwa.
“A catastrophe has descended upon the organization.”
The moment Ouyang Shuo successfully built a base on Planet Hope and connected with Gaia on the resource planet, they would basically control the life of mankind.
The power over Planet Hope would totally lie within Ouyang Shuo’s hands.
At that point, the competition in the game world would be pointless. Regardless of how they struggled, it would all end up as a gift to Great Xia.
When Gaia revealed the Planet Hope exploration matter, Silver Hand had a serious internal discussion. They concluded that the success rate was less than 30%.
As a result, they decided to work with Azure Badge to make Ouyang Shuo the scapegoat.
However, Nuwa’s appearance made their calculations no longer persuasive. No one knew if Gaia had prepared any secret weapons for Ouyang Shuo apart from Nuwa.
Proceeding to Planet Hope was not as dangerous as they had thought.
“Dark clouds are towering over us!” The voice of Jack’s grandfather trembled.
This old man had never felt so much fear before.
The issue was that they had no way to resist.
Gaia had already made it clear that they could only arrange one expedition squad, and there were no additional spots. Even if Jack wanted to step out, he did not have the conditions to do so.
As for stopping Ouyang Shuo? That would just be daydreaming.
“Hei, I did not expect to lose to an Ai after scheming for my entire life.” The expression of Jack’s grandfather was extremely ugly.
“Since that’s the case, we cannot continue fighting.” A light appeared in his eyes.
He realized that to Silver Hand and Azure Badge, the only way to turn things around was to work together in the game world and restrict Great Xia.
Only then could they take control of the game world. With that, they would possess the ability to speak on Planet Hope in the future.
Otherwise, their lives would only be controlled by others.
The situation had already become crystal clear. In the game world, the Great Xia Empire’s strength was like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.
In just two months, Great Xia made two Asian haunts, the Persian and Arab empires, surrender. If this situation continued, Great Xia would unify the world.
“If we do not work together, we will lose everything.” The heart of Jack’s grandfather felt really pained.
However, after a few years of fighting one another, not to mention Silver Hand and Azure Badge working together, even Silver Hand itself was a handful of scattered sand internally.
Working together would not be an easy matter.
Not to mention the whole world working together. The European continent was still embroiled in the flames of war, bitterly struggling. The massive interest dispute could not be stopped so easily.
