Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

175. Chapter 175 Good Guy, Communication Satellite!

Chapter 175: Wow, a communication satellite!

Liu Zimo didn't expect that the Four Pillar Nations would be so generous and directly award him the National Hero Medal, representing the highest honor of the country.

It seems that the deeds of him and his two disciples traveling through half of Xia Country have finally reached the capital city.

Otherwise, with the merits he had previously achieved, a commendation order would have been enough, and he wouldn't have been able to obtain this extremely precious National Hero Medal.

After a simple yet extremely formal ceremony, Liu Zimo received the commendation order and the National Hero Medal from Du Xuebing and Zhao Jiajun.

If he wasn't excited, it would definitely be fake.

As a citizen who grew up in Xia Country since childhood.

Even though he has lived for two lifetimes and has now reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

But when faced with such a national honor and reward, Liu Zimo still felt a surge of emotions.

After all, humans are social animals, and it's difficult to truly transcend and ignore everything.

When he was alone in the past, Liu Zimo couldn't do it.

Now, with his family by his side and his cultivation accomplished, he couldn't do it even more.

Especially when he saw, at the moment he received the National Hero Medal and the commendation order.

His father in the audience was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he even jumped up two meters high on the spot. Liu Zimo felt that everything was worth it.

"Advisor Liu, our mission to Luo has been completed, and we must return to report as soon as possible!"

"Looking forward to meeting you again!"

After the ceremony, Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing were the first to bid farewell to Liu Zimo.

Carrying a life-saving remedy that could save the entire Xia Country, they didn't want to delay for a moment.

They wished they could fly to the capital city immediately and report these good news to General Wu and the Four Pillar Nations!

Liu Zimo understood their feelings, so he didn't stay for long.

He casually took out nearly a hundred kilograms of Earth Vein Spirit Spring from the Eastern Pearl as a gift for them, and then watched them fly away.

After seeing them off, Liu Zimo didn't linger at the Military Affairs Office either.

After chatting politely with Zhi Yuansheng, Zhang Zhenren, and Liang Luohua, he returned to the spiritual energy sanctuary outside the city with his father.

Because just now, he sensed that his younger uncle, Zhao Hongzhang, had awakened from his meditation!

"Uncle, you woke up just in time!"

Returning to the underground cave, seeing Zhao Hongzhang coming out of his room and talking with Liu Zihao in the courtyard, Liu Yi became spirited and walked up to Zhao Hongzhang, holding the commendation order and the National Hero Medal that his eldest son had just given him, and proudly said,

"Come, take a good look and see what this is?"

Zhao Hongzhang turned his head when he heard the sound, and followed his brother-in-law's smiling face to look at his hand.

At the moment he saw the National Hero Medal, a change appeared on Zhao Hongzhang's round face, and he suddenly stood up from his chair.

"National Hero Medal?!"

"Where did it come from?!"

"This shouldn't be, I just came out of seclusion, and the relevant scientific research results haven't been verified yet. Why did the country send me the National Hero Medal in advance?!"

Zhao Hongzhang muttered to himself in confusion, actually mistaking the National Hero Medal as a reward from the country.

"Go away, where do you get such a big face!"

"Just you, still want to get the National Hero Medal? What kind of dream are you having?!"

Liu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes at this unreliable younger uncle.

"Let me tell you, this is my eldest son's!"

"The special envoy who came from the capital city just delivered it today and presented it in front of all the soldiers in the military district. It's so grand!"

"In the future, this will be the heirloom of our Liu family. It must be hung in the most prominent place in our home for future generations to admire!"

Zhao Hongzhang was taken aback and said unexpectedly, "Xiao Mo's?"

"What has this child been doing outside?"

"As far as I know, in order to obtain such a national hero medal, one must have made a great contribution to the country!"

"Xiao Mo is so young, how could he..."

Before Zhao Hongzhang could finish speaking, Liu Yi interrupted him unhappily:

"What are you saying? What are you saying? So what if my son is young? Can't he make a contribution to the country and receive the national hero medal?"

"You, a homebody, what do you know?"

"My son is already at the Divine Communication Realm. Even the holy master of Dalin Temple and the head of Longhu Mountain are no match for my son. He's amazing!"

"As long as my son is willing, what kind of contribution can't he make?"

"The Divine Communication Realm?!"

Zhao Hongzhang's voice suddenly rose, and he turned to Liu Zimo with great excitement:

"Xiao Mo, have you really reached the Divine Communication Realm in martial arts?"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly and modestly said, "I made a breakthrough by chance."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongzhang's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly:

"After reaching the Divine Communication Realm, is it possible to compress spiritual energy, see things on a microscopic level, and travel in space?"

Seeing his uncle so excited, his eyes even shining, Liu Zimo quickly guessed that the questions his uncle asked must be related to his research during seclusion. So he answered seriously:

"Compressing spiritual energy and seeing things on a microscopic level are not a problem, I can easily do it."

"But as for space travel, I have never tried it before, so I don't know if it's possible!"

In theory, after reaching the Divine Communication Realm, the physical functions are thousands of times stronger than those of ordinary people. Even if thrown into space without air or gravity, one should be able to survive for a while.

However, now, due to the arrival of the calamity, all electronic devices on Earth have become useless, and large rockets and spacecraft can no longer be operated normally.

If you want to go to space, you can only rely on your own physical strength to fly out of the Earth.

But is that possible?

Moreover, who would think of flying alone into outer space without any assistance? Isn't that seeking death?

"Turtle, though long-lived!"

Liu Zimo suddenly called out to the old turtle sleeping next to the spiritual spring.

Swish!

The old turtle turned into a stream of light and appeared on Liu Zimo's left shoulder like lightning.

"Master, did you call me?"

Liu Zimo raised his hand and gently patted the turtle's head, then looked at Zhao Hongzhang and said:

"Uncle, although I haven't tried flying alone into outer space, this old turtle should have tried it!"

"If you need any help, feel free to talk to it!"

Zhao Hongzhang looked at the little turtle perched on Liu Zimo's left shoulder with surprise and said:

"A talking turtle with self-awareness, quite interesting!"

"This is the ancient spiritual beast that Haozi mentioned earlier, right?"

"If there's time in the future, I can try to study it!"

The turtle, being stared at by Zhao Hongzhang, felt a little uneasy. It didn't like the look in the fat man's eyes, as if he wanted to dissect it.

Although there was no killing intent, this kind of gaze was really creepy!

If this person wasn't the master's uncle, if anyone dared to stare at it with such ill intentions, it would have probably slapped them away long ago.

"Little one, are you sure you can fly to outer space?"

Zhao Hongzhang ignored the dissatisfaction in the turtle's heart and directly asked it.

The turtle weakly nodded and said, "I should be able to. I remember flying out with that old Taoist before!"

"But there are too many galaxies in outer space, and the directions are difficult to discern. Moreover, the spiritual energy is chaotic and unsuitable for cultivation and long-distance travel. So after circling around the Earth once, I came back!"

He actually went to outer space?!

Zhao Hongzhang instantly became interested and asked, "What about now? Can you break free from the Earth's gravity and fly directly to outer space?"

"You don't need to fly too far. Just staying on the surface of the Earth for a moment is enough!"

The turtle nodded slowly and honestly answered under its owner's gaze, "If you don't fly too far, there shouldn't be any major problems!"

"But, outer space is really not a good place to go. If you don't have any protection below the Divine Realm, you will die instantly once you leave the atmosphere!"

Hearing the implied meaning behind the turtle's words, Zhao Hongzhang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, no one wants to go to outer space with you. I just want you to deliver a satellite to the surface of the Earth's space!"

A satellite?

Liu Zimo's mind trembled slightly and he interjected, "Little uncle, did your research succeed?!"

"It's almost there!" Zhao Hongzhang said, "The theoretical deduction is basically complete. Now we just need to create the corresponding physical object based on the theory, and it will be completely successful!"

"So, I want to create a communication satellite powered by spiritual energy first, to solve the communication problem on Earth!"

Wow!

Liu Zimo couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

He didn't expect his little uncle to start playing such a big game as soon as he woke up!

You should know that in the previous life's federal government, they only managed to achieve simple wireless communication, using modified radios to transmit information to each other.

But they never thought or were able to manufacture a spiritual energy satellite and send it into space!

Of course.

From his little uncle's question just now, Liu Zimo could also guess.

The previous federal government might not have been incapable of manufacturing a spiritual energy communication satellite, but they lacked the ability to send it into outer space.

After all, even in the thirty years of the apocalypse, the human federal government did not restore technology to the point where they could manufacture large rockets and spacecraft.

"Little uncle, I'm afraid it's not that easy to make this communication satellite, right?"

Liu Zimo asked Zhao Hongzhang softly.

"It's not that difficult!"

Zhao Hongzhang casually replied, "It sounds fancy to call it a satellite, but it's just a wireless communication relay station. To put it more plainly, it's a big antenna!"

"As long as you understand its working principle, it's not as difficult to manufacture as you imagine!"

"Of course, the premise is that we need enough manpower to help!"

"Especially for some extremely precise spiritual energy chips, they require abilities like spiritual energy compression and microscopic vision, which ordinary martial artists and ability users would find extremely difficult to do."

"In fact, if it weren't for hearing that my great nephew has already reached the Divine Realm, I would probably only be able to work on short-distance wireless communication between cities and wouldn't think of going to space with a satellite!"

"But now, since we have this condition, why not go big?"

"If we can create a super communication satellite that supports global communication, the human race on Earth will have a channel to communicate and connect with each other, and they won't be fighting and isolated like before."

Liu Zimo nodded slightly.

If global communication could really be restored, it would be an absolute joy and blessing for all the survivors on Earth.

Perhaps the federal government could be established earlier because of this!

"Great!" Liu Zimo exclaimed loudly, "Uncle, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it with confidence. I will fully support you!"

"In the meantime, I'll temporarily entrust this old turtle to you, Uncle, until the communication satellite is built."

"Feel free to use it however you want, don't hesitate. Make sure to build this communication satellite in the shortest possible time!"

Saying that, Liu Zimo lifted the turtle's shell and placed it directly on Zhao Hongzhang's shoulder.

Seeing the turtle's unwilling and despondent expression, Liu Zimo couldn't help but sternly warn it.

"If you do a good job, there will be rewards. You can choose between the Earth Vein Spirit Spring and the meat of a thousand-legged centipede!"

"But if you can't do it well, or intentionally cause trouble and hinder my plans, don't blame me for killing the turtle and using its blood to make the Turtle Blood Pill or stewing turtle soup!"

Rewards?!

The turtle's eyes suddenly lit up, and it eagerly said:

"Deal! After the task is completed, I want a thousand jin of Earth Vein Spirit Spring and ten thousand jin of thousand-legged centipede meat!"

Instead of getting angry, Liu Zimo looked at the little turtle with disdain and said:

"Is that all you're capable of?"

"What? Do I look like someone who is petty?"

"After the task is completed, if you perform well and Uncle is very satisfied with you, I will give you three thousand jin of Earth Vein Spirit Spring and thirty thousand jin of thousand-legged centipede meat, so you can have your fill!"

Swish!

The turtle's drooping head suddenly stood upright, becoming extremely spirited.

"Master, rest assured, I guarantee that I can complete the task!"

"Your Uncle is my Uncle, and your Uncle's matters are my matters!"

"From now on, I will definitely listen to Uncle's instructions and serve Uncle comfortably!"

Sure enough, under great rewards, there is great motivation.

The turtle's enthusiasm was immediately aroused.

Not only did it become extremely spirited, but it also flattered Uncle eagerly and attentively.

"Master, I want it too!"

At this moment, Jiao Linglong, who had been paying attention to the commotion, quickly rushed over upon hearing about the three thousand jin of Earth Vein Spirit Spring and thirty thousand jin of thousand-legged centipede meat.

"What a turtle can do, I can do as well, and I can do it even better!"

Hearing this, the turtle couldn't help but roll its eyes.

This snake is indeed not a good person, blatantly trying to take advantage!

If it had known this, it wouldn't have kindly persuaded this girl to acknowledge Liu Zimo as her master.

"You?"

Liu Zimo glanced at Jiao Linglong and seemed to think of something. He nodded gently and said:

"Alright, although your cultivation is insufficient, you excel in various formations!"

"When building the communication satellite, find a way to carve defensive and stealth formations on the satellite, ensuring that it won't be detected by foreign monsters while orbiting the Earth in space!"

"After it's done, you will also receive three thousand jin of Earth Vein Spirit Spring and thirty thousand jin of thousand-legged centipede meat!"

Since they were all working for him, Liu Zimo didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache about giving away these resources.

In fact, if he didn't need to save some resources for backup and was also worried that giving too many rewards at once would make these spirit pets become spoiled or develop resentment, Liu Zimo could directly push the turtle's longevity and Jiao Linglong's cultivation strength back to their peak in ancient times.

"Yes, Master!"

Jiao Linglong immediately nodded happily, full of joy.

Three thousand jin of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, enough for it to directly break through the fetal breath stage and advance all the way to the peak of Manifestation Saint!

And the thirty thousand jin of thousand-legged centipede meat, a great tonic that can greatly nourish its qi and blood and physical body. After completely devouring and refining it, it will definitely take its overall strength to the next level!
