Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 793: 577 First Conversation2

The doctor furrowed his brow in thought for a mont before looking up at Bai E with a serious expression, "Is Blackwater City currently under your control?"

Bai E was slightly taken aback and slowly shook his head, "Not at the mont."

"When did this happen?"

"Why do you ask?"

"With your current strength, nothing in Blackwater City should proceed without considering your opinion. If they are still not considering it now..." the doctor fixed his gaze tightly on Bai E, "knowing you as I do, I believe Blackwater City is about to undergo a significant change very soon."

Bai E pondered briefly and nodded, "That is sothing I am also waiting for the right opportunity."

What he wanted was not destruction forced solely through violence, but comprehensive support from all aspects.

Even now, though he could pilot a cha to single-handedly decimate a city, sweeping everything before him, he would not choose to do so.

What he wanted was not a broken ruin but a city united in casting off its burdens.

Every person in the city had to abandon their old and outworn ideas and join hands to strive for the future of humanity!

The chance Bai E sought was one with the least possible disturbance and loss.

"Good," the doctor nodded vigorously, "when you take power, Grey Iron City will beco your vassal! Rember, your vassal, not Blackwater City's!"

The doctor was always decisive in his actions.

But the decision to beco a vassal still sowhat surprised Bai E.

Helen, who had just returned, looked at the retreating tall figure of the old man with a gentle smile, "This doctor is actually a very pure technician, he has always been unwilling to engage in that dirty politics, it's just that to get things done he must have absolute strength of his own. I admire him a lot."

"You seem to know him very well... did you know each other before?"

"No," Helen shook her head, "I've only co to know him during our recent collaboration, and he too is for the rise of mankind."

While speaking, Helen's beautiful eyes looked at Bai E with admiration, "I never imagined that the once simple newborn would now have grown to the point where he can eradicate a nest of bugs on his own... You are the most perfect creation I have ever seen."

"?" Bai E didn't say anything, just quietly t Helen's gaze, knowing she had sothing to say.

"The new armants have already started mass production in your small town, I need you to return to the barracks to issue the assessnt for targets suitable for human augntation, I will give you the specifics. So... can you open up and have a real talk with just for once, right up till this mont?"

Bai E's eyes flickered, and he asked softly, "What do you want to ask?"

Helen's eyes were soft and peaceful as she gently parted her lips to ask softly, "Up to today, is everything you've done for yourself, or for humanity?"

The wind blew through Helen's hair, but her gaze remained steadfast on Bai E, waiting for an answer.

"..." Bai E smiled gently, a sight Helen had never seen before.

It was truly moving.

"Simple words are not enough to prove determination," Bai E's eyes were gentle as he looked into Helen's, "let put it this way, I need you to build a starship."

"Planets are too small."

"The universe is still vast."

"Humans shouldn't just cower in a corner of a planet, gasping for survival. Neither bugs nor beastn should beco obstacles to our exploration of the universe."

Bai E looked up at the sky, the stars in the distant horizon were not very noticeable in the daylight, but under the enhancent of Spiritual Energy, they twinkled in Bai E's eyes, "I want to explore the starry sky, to open up more habitats for humanity. This won't be long from now, and only you can help with this."

Helen had never considered such a notion of exploring the stars, such a grand vision made her feel ethereal for a mont. Yet cold logic brought her back to reality, "But even if we at Blackwater City gave it our all, we wouldn't be able to build sothing that massive."

This was not a question of will or technology, it was simply a limitation of resources and production capacity.

Humanity couldn't even get manned ships to leave the solar system during the Golden Age, let alone in the cities amid these chaotic tis.

Those lost technologies, although still recorded, are of no use to the cities struggling to survive in their corners.

"So I need you to retrieve those technologies as soon as possible and begin cultivating talent in the relevant fields. As for resources..." Bai E turned and looked towards the dark silhouette of Blackwater City, "Blackwater City is just the starting point. I will gradually resolve the various global disaster crises and strive to establish a unified Human Alliance. My task is to provide you with an environnt rich in resources, but the burden you must carry... is far more important than the responsibility on my own shoulders!"

For the first ti, the thoughts and aspirations in Bai E's heart were fully revealed in front of soone else.

Helen had thought she had roughly grasped the thoughts of General Bai, but until this mont, she realized she had never kept pace with him.

At a ti when the greatest outdoor crisis of Blackwater City had just been resolved, he had already taken his dreams to the sky.

The universe, the stars...

This is the direction every researcher aspires to for their whole life.

Flying into space is the greatest romance of every researcher's life.

But the harsh reality and its crises often leave people so overwheld that they can only focus on the trivial things in front of them, unable to freely unleash their souls.

But now...

Bai E said he wanted to see it.

He would create a unified human environnt!

He wanted... to take humanity to the cosmic stars!

In that case, what did her previous small concerns amount to?

"I understand." Helen, clearing her mind of all ecstatic thoughts, seed to instantly find a firm and spirited goal, "I will do my utmost. The starship you want... I'll give it to you!"

...

Everything seed to be moving in a positive direction.

With the technical indicators provided by Helen, the entire military camp secretly selected 200 volunteers for body modification, all without Marshal Weslin's knowledge.

In fact, more people passed, but the first batch of modification was so critical that after selecting the best from the best, only 200 were chosen for the first phase of the modification process.

And these 200 people, without exception, were elite soldiers who had undergone genetic optimization.

The surgery was personally perford by the doctor, with many researchers from Blackwater City observing the whole process as learners.

Even though Helen had been completely engrossed in retrieving Golden Age technologies related to starships, she couldn't help but co to the underground laboratory of the military camp, like Bai E, to watch from behind the glass.

"The town has already mass-produced more than three hundred suits of cha. If our modifications here are successful, then we'll have a force to rival the chanical Court." Helen was intimately familiar with all the information she handled, "Although you are very strong, to control such a large city instantly, you also need enough hands."

"Proceed as quickly as possible..." Bai E nodded, his expression solemn.

Ever since that city lord issued the "Pioneering Order," there had already been quite a bit of unrest among the residents in The Lower City.

Those players lurking in The Lower City acted as his eyes, constantly providing him with intelligence from The Lower City.

There, unrest had already begun to brew.
