Chapter 792: Chapter 752: Sword Points Towards Arica!
As the Cloud Dream event ca to an end, many night owl self-dia and video uploaders imdiately updated their posts and even uploaded videos summarizing the astonishing heat miracle created by Cloud Dream in just a week’s ti.
Particularly, posts that listed the number of countries where Cloud Dream beca popular were especially sought after.
But Lincoln didn’t care about those reports.
Cloud Dream’s real harvest was not those hollow reputations, but the soaring popularity of old gas, with heat and sales rebounding, and even console orders receiving a strong boost.
Not to ntion the real, unimaginable harvest that only Lincoln and Xiaong knew about – the [Consciousness Chip] technology.
…
Monday morning, Lincoln woke up at ho.
Before going to work, he planned to call Lorin to order so chip manufacturing equipnt to enrich his laboratory.
Although he couldn’t use these things at his current level.
But chip manufacturing is a cutting-edge industry after all, and the related equipnt might not be easy to procure, and the more cutting-edge and advanced the production equipnt, the harder it is to procure.
It is very likely that they have already been booked before they are produced.
So it’s important to order early.
But before he even finished dialing, his mobile phone rang first –
Henry’s call.
“Lincoln, I have good news! The rocket matter has been settled!” Henry’s voice sounded quite excited.
“Rocket? What rocket?” Lincoln was baffled.
He had been thinking about “Chang’an” and Consciousness Chip lately, and everything else had been swept into a corner, so he suddenly didn’t respond.
Henry was speechless at once: “If you don’t like , you can say it earlier… now I’ve been busy for so long, and I’ve communicated with many departnts, and now you’ve forgotten?”
“Well, I just didn’t respond for a mont…” Lincoln hurriedly explained, “I rember now, I rember, rocket… manned rocket, right?”
After regaining his senses, Lincoln beca excited again: “You said it’s all settled, does that an I can go to space?!”
“Let think, there seems to be a launch mission on New Year’s Day! So is it the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow, I can go to space?! Aweso, old Henry!”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Henry hurriedly shouted to stop, preventing Lincoln from continuing to daydream.
“What are you thinking? You haven’t even trained, and you want to go straight to the rocket?”
“Isn’t it launching the day after tomorrow?” Lincoln was full of confidence, “I won’t go to work for these two days. I’ll use all the ti for training! Don’t worry, I learn things very quickly!”
“It’s not possible even if you learn fast…” Henry said helplessly, “The launch plan cannot be changed at will, if you want to go to space, you must wait for the schedule.”
“Schedule ah…” Lincoln was a bit discouraged, “How long will it take?”
“Half a year.”
“So long?!”
“Yes, the construction of a brand-new rocket and manned cabin with five tis the standard safety check process can ensure your safety.”
“…” Lincoln fell silent.
In half a year’s ti, the yellow flower dish would have beco cold.
He decided to try again: “If I sponsor two more rockets, can you let go up first?”
“It’s not about how much sponsorship.” Henry decisively refused, “It involves aerospace safety…”
“What about three launches?” Lincoln interrupted Henry’s lengthy speech.
On the other side of the phone, Henry fell silent.
But Lincoln didn’t wait: “Four launches!”
“Stop!” Henry couldn’t hold it anymore.
According to the current production cost of Daxia rockets, a fully equipped rocket with fuel costs around 800 million.
Though Lincoln casually added light strokes to his mouth, the money he was willing to shell out had exceeded 3 Billion in just a few words!
What a shocking move!
But Lincoln still didn’t stop: “No, four is not auspicious, five launches it is.”
“Enough, enough!” Henry didn’t know what to say anymore.
He ended his psychological struggle in three seconds and left Lincoln a ssage: “Wait for my news!”
As soon as the call ended, Lincoln calmly called Lorin.
He won’t spend all his money in this lifeti, just a few rockets, no pressure at all.
Not to ntion that the money didn’t co from his own pocket.
Collecting sensory data is for enriching Cloud Dream’s sensory database, so it should be included in the public expenditure – Cloud Dream is tax-free, but his personal inco is not.
After the call was connected, Lincoln explained his needs to Lorin.
Upon hearing that Lincoln needed cutting-edge chip manufacturing equipnt, Lorin was both shocked and delighted.
Before this, Lincoln had never failed in anything he had set out to do!
If it had been during the early days of Mirage, he might have worried that Lincoln was dabbling in different fields, wasting both money and energy.
However, after witnessing Lincoln’s success ti and ti again, even the most ardent believer in science couldn’t help but develop a blind faith in him.
Even though this is the current world tripartite, with Daxia, Europe, and Arica vying for supremacy and desperately competing in the field of microchips, trying to seize the first-mover advantage.
Lorin still had inexplicable confidence!
If Lincoln could really make a breakthrough, he would undoubtedly beco a national hero!
Though, in truth, he already was.
The military application of virtual reality technology, of course, remained unspoken.
Technological applications such as “All-True Combat Exercise,” “Brain-Controlled Land Combat Robot,” “Synesthetic Training,” “Cutting-Edge Skill Upload,” etc., all based on Lincoln’s technology, were top-secret.
Instead of being open during peaceti, they would never be declassified even in the event of a war.
For many years to co, Lincoln would not be given any honors in the fields of national defense or military.
However, the deploynt efficiency of the “Focus Headband” continued to grow, and the coverage area continued to expand. Related information was no longer a secret.
The day of full disclosure to society was already close at hand.
Even just with the “Focus Headband”‘s contribution to education and scientific research, Lincoln would be hailed as a national hero.
Otherwise, he would not be so indulgent, allowing him to have his way and fulfilling his whimsical requests as much as possible.
“If he could make a breakthrough in chip technology as well…”
Lorin dared not imagine what level of rarity Lincoln would beco then.
Could he start selling tickets to his house?
Send his wife!
“Lincoln is 22 years old, not young anymore with such monstrous genes. We can’t let them be lost. We must find him a wife!”
“It can’t be an ordinary wife, she must be highly intelligent!”
While Lorrin’s mind was filled with these “inappropriate” thoughts, he imdiately began making phone calls to help Lincoln purchase the equipnt.
With his help, it was much faster than buying on the market, and there was no need to worry about availability.

That night, players who hadn’t fully recovered from the New Year’s activities were ignited with a new passion –
The roster for the second “Peak War” has been officially announced.
Players from all countries were rubbing shoulders with excitent.
Naturally, there was no need to ntion the Daxia players; their sole goal was to beco the champion!
German players, after acquiring the Berlin Server Centre, had filled their last gap. They were determined to redeem their reputation in this “Peak War!”
British players staged a “preliminary round of the Peak War” in their own country.
Four regions, four teams battling in several matches, with the final winner decided on Christmas Eve –
In the end, it was the team from the most populous region of England, with the highest number of players, that claid the final victory.
Thus, the “Peak War” was represented by England’s players on behalf of the United Kingdom.
However, their confidence was sowhat lacking.
They were not fools, and they knew full well that their participating team was weaker than the previous one…
But they still had to fight tooth and nail.
At the sa ti, new forces also erged: Brazilian and xican player numbers had grown exponentially, enough to compete in the “Peak War” as countries.
By the way, Arica, due to the rapid growth of dostic players and xico’s “special network channels” continuously strengthening, also sowhat benefited, improving their network conditions.
So, they were also confident this ti, aiming for the top three!
And the Middle East regional players’ Grand Alliance was once again established, with their swords pointed at-
Arica!
