"With such a perfect suit of armor, why don't you make more of them? If you sell them to the army, equipping each soldier with one, the combat power of Huaxia's military would definitely rise to a whole new level!" Luo Chao asked curiously.
"Each of them a suit? If the Huaxia government is willing to invest two hundred million Huaxia Coins for every soldier, then it could be done." The short, stout old man said, stroking his beard.
Luo Chao was speechless.
"Luo Chao, let me introduce you. This tall, thin gentleman is Mr. Li, and this other gentleman is Mr. Hu. Don't be fooled by their age of seventy; they are still full of enthusiasm when it comes to science!" Tang Tianyi pointed to the two elderly men and introduced them to Luo Chao.
"Gentlemen, hello, my name is Luo Chao." Luo Chao introduced himself to the two elders, smiling as he took off the Nanobiological Armor.
"No need for formalities, young friend. In fact, your commander, Commander Liu, has been a dear friend of ours for many years, and since you are part of the Dragon Fang Team, we will follow your instructions in the future." Mr. Li said.
"Commander Liu! You know him?" Luo Chao asked, surprised.
Mr. Hu spoke up, "Before joining the Dragon Fang Team, Commander Liu was a scientist responsible for national defense military project research in Huaxia, holding the rank of general."
"Commander Liu is also a scientist?" Luo Chao felt even more puzzled.
"You've surely noticed that the technological level of products here far exceeds that of the outside world, right? Do you know why that is?" Mr. Hu asked.
"Isn't it because Miss Tang is exceptionally talented?" Luo Chao glanced at Tang Tianyi, standing next to him, and said.
The two elders exchanged a glance and then looked at Tang Tianyi beside Luo Chao.
After they looked at each other, Mr. Li spoke, "You're right, young friend Luo Chao. Miss Tang indeed has exceptional talent in scientific research, which is why our military decided to collaborate with her. But besides that, there is another, more crucial reason."
"A more crucial reason? What is it?" Luo Chao eagerly asked.
Suddenly, Mr. Li asked mysteriously, "Young friend Luo Chao, do you believe that there are higher intelligent beings on planets other than Earth?"
Luo Chao was startled by the question, then said, "To my knowledge, about 50 billion extragalactic galaxies have been discovered, and with our Milky Way included, collectively known as the total galaxy—this represents all the cosmic range humanity has encountered thus far."
"And our Milky Way itself has about 200 billion stars, 40 billion of which have planets! With such a vast cosmos, I think the possibility of extraterrestrial life is very high!"
In fact, the cosmos itself is infinite and constantly expanding, so there must be infinitely many extragalactic systems that humans are unaware of.
The number of galaxies in the cosmos is not yet definite—some say over 80 billion, others over 100 billion, some suggest 100 to 200 billion.
In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the northern outer space, estimating about 80 billion galaxies in the cosmos.
Three years later, in October 1998, they observed the southern outer space, estimating 125 billion galaxies in the cosmos. Why such a discrepancy between the two observations?
This is because the observation range of the southern outer space was further than that of the northern outer space.
From this, we can infer that the number of galaxies in the cosmos is certainly more than 125 billion, as the Hubble Space Telescope hasn't seen the edge of the cosmos.
Mr. Li nodded after hearing this.
Fourteen years ago, at that time, Commander Liu was a military scientist in Huaxia, responsible for national defense military project research. Mr. Li and Mr. Hu were his direct researchers, following him for twenty-five years!
One day, they received an order to report to a secret military base in the West Cang region.
They later learned that the military had discovered a massive energy source in a high plateau range somewhere in West Cang. After months of searching and excavation, they finally discovered the energy source three days ago. It turned out to be a black cube with a side length of fifteen centimeters, emitting tremendous energy.
Although it was excavated, none of the scientists present knew what it was or how to use it.
Back then, Commander Liu, along with Mr. Hu and Mr. Li, represented the pinnacle of Huaxia's military technology, so they enthusiastically joined the research on this mysterious cube.
Through research, they discovered the cube had existed on Earth for at least four billion years!
Much longer than the history of humanity!
Then, they used reverse engineering to interpret the cube's structure, and in just two years, they developed many weapons and equipment that surpassed Earth's technological level.
Thus, Huaxia rose to become one of the top superpowers in the world.
At that point, they pondered a question—if God created us, then who created him?
What exactly is the cube?
And where did it come from?
"Later, Commander Liu was transferred to the Dragon Fang Team, and over the next ten years, as we continued to delve into researching the cube, we discovered it seemed to have a peculiar connection with the outside world, but no matter how much we racked our brains or conducted experiments, we still couldn't determine what that connection was!" Mr. Li said.
Then, Mr. Hu continued, "Later, we heard Miss Tang mention your special abilities, so with a mindset of trying, we wanted you to give it a try."
Luo Chao nodded, then slowly extended his hands, chanting in his heart, "Rise for me!"
Suddenly, Mr. Hu, Mr. Li, and Tang Tianyi all felt a sensation of lightness, as if an invisible force was lifting their bodies into the air.
Shortly after, the three were floating two meters off the ground, controlled by Luo Chao's Telekinesis.
"Oh my God, Miss Tang wasn't joking after all!" Mr. Hu exclaimed in midair.
"Now, can you show me that legendary mysterious cube?" Luo Chao said, word by word.
After descending to the third basement level, Luo Chao noticed the security was even tighter on this level.
This time, the metal door had three layers, and it required three people to simultaneously conduct fingerprint and retina scanning to open it.
Then, Mr. Li and Mr. Hu stood on either side of Tang Tianyi, and the three of them input their identity verification information. With a "beep," the heavy door sprang open.
As they walked into the room, the black cube that Luo Chao was expecting floated in a glass case before him.
Indeed, it was floating, with numerous dark red lines on the surface of the black cube, forming patterns without any discernible rules.
At the moment he saw the floating black cube, Luo Chao faintly felt that this black cube must have a profound connection with his Telekinesis!
