The Great Xia warship itself was a moving castle.
It had a pier, conference room, dining hall, dormitory, recreation room, medical room, training room, warehouse, vegetable planting greenhouse, livestock breeding center, and other facilities.
In the warehouse, there were all kinds of tools, energy, and other resources.
It was basically self-sufficient.
The starship was operated by artificial intelligence. Unless there was an emergency, it was usually unmanned.
The gift from Gaia was the artificial intelligence.
The artificial intelligence in charge of operating the Great Xia warship was not ordinary. It was a secondary artificial intelligence separated from the Gaia mainframe.
Its future development potential was not inferior to Gaia itself.
Controlling the starship was only one of the most basic abilities of the artificial intelligence. Apart from that, it could also achieve a long-distance network connection with Gaia.
This also meant that even if the pioneering team arrived on Hope Planet, they could continue to log into "Earth Onle" through this artificial intelligence.
That was impressive!
Previously, Ouyang Shuo was most worried about losing contact with the game world after arriving on Hope Planet and being forced to let Bing'er face all the challenges alone.
That would be too difficult for Bing'er.
Things were different now. In the future, although Ouyang Shuo would mainly focus on pioneering on Hope Planet, he only needed to log into the game occasionally and show his face in the capital, and it would be enough to intimidate the small fry.
The last hidden danger of Great Xia had disappeared.
Ouyang Shuo was extremely grateful for Gaia's gift and kept it in mind.
This artificial intelligence was named "Nüwa" by Ouyang Shuo.
In addition to the above functions, Nüwa would be Ouyang Shuo's most capable assistant in the future. Her importance was even greater than that of the ministers.
With Nüwa's powerful storage, calculation, and data processing abilities, she could easily take over the public affairs of the forward operating base and recreate a Skynet system similar to Earth's.
Just this alone could save a lot of manpower and resources.
Not only that, Nüwa could also connect to Gaia's database and extract Great Xia's data at any time. She could then make a report for Ouyang Shuo to remotely control the operations of the Great Xia Empire.
There were all sorts of things like this.
…
15th of May, Arab Empire.
Compared to the strong Persian Empire, the Arab Empire's performance was even worse. Once the Great Xia army was deployed, the Arab King could not withstand it and surrendered in less than a week.
The might of Great Xia was actually so terrifying.
One of the important reasons was that Ouyang Shuo announced the existence of Nüwa on the official website.
This time, the whole world was in an uproar.
The ordinary players were naturally happy for Ouyang Shuo. At the very least, they could still keep abreast of the construction situation of the forward operating base through Nuwa, which was more or less a form of comfort.
But for Jack and the other kings, it was a huge nightmare.
"What? Did we work for nothing?" Jack was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that this would be the result after all this planning.
With Nuwa's existence, Great Xia wouldn't suffer any losses if Ouyang Shuo went to the Hope Planet.
On the contrary, Ouyang Shuo's expedition had greatly rallied the morale of the army and the people of the Grand Xia Dynasty, and it allowed the commoners to walk closer to the center of the Imperial Court, causing them to feel honored.
All along, Great Xia's rapid expansion had brought about a huge hidden danger, but it was gradually disappearing.
Great Xia was bound to become even more powerful.
What made Jack feel even worse was that Ouyang Shuo had established an exploration team in such a short time and easily solved the problem of "two teams", forming a positive interaction between reality and the game.
This hurt Jack.
"If I had known this would happen, I might as well have taken the risk myself," Jack said in annoyance.
Regarding this, Grandpa Jack had a deeper worry.
"I have a feeling that Gaia is behind this. I'm afraid we've all been fooled." Grandpa Jack's face revealed a rare solemn expression.
Not to mention anything else, Nuwa's existence was very unusual.
Even if Grandpa Jack didn't understand artificial intelligence, he knew common sense. Separating a top-notch artificial intelligence like Nuwa would definitely be a huge loss to Gaia.
When announcing the expedition list, Gaia didn't mention that there would be an additional reward like Nuwa.
"I'm afraid a huge disaster has already befallen the organization."
Once Ouyang Shuo succeeded in establishing a forward operating base on the Hope Planet and joined forces with Gaia, who was leading the development of resource planets, it was equivalent to dictating the fate of the entire human race.
The leadership of the Hope Planet would be completely in Ouyang Shuo's hands.
In that case, the competition in the game world would become meaningless. No matter how much they struggled, it would ultimately be a gift to Great Xia.
Back then, when Gaia announced the exploration of the Hope Planet, the Silver Hand had conducted a detailed discussion and concluded that the success rate was less than 30%.
It was precisely because of this that they decided to join forces with the Azure Badge and push Ouyang Shuo out as a scapegoat.
However, Nuwa's appearance made the Silver Hand's argument no longer convincing. Who knew what other secret weapons Gaia had prepared for Ouyang Shuo other than Nuwa?
The expedition to the Hope Planet did not seem that dangerous.
"Dark clouds looming over us!" Grandpa Jack's voice trembled.
There had never been a moment when this old man felt so terrified.
The problem was that they could no longer resist.
Gaia had already stated clearly that the expedition fleet could only be arranged once. There were no extra quotas. Even if Jack wanted to step forward now, he did not have the conditions.
As for obstructing Ouyang Shuo's expedition? That was even more of a daydream.
"Heh, I really didn't expect that I would be tricked by an artificial intelligence after scheming my entire life." Grandpa Jack's expression was extremely ugly.
"If that's the case, we can't continue fighting." A light flashed in Grandpa Jack's eyes.
…
In fact, Grandpa Jack's speculations were mostly his own imagination.
First, other than Nuwa, Gaia did not prepare any secret weapons for Ouyang Shuo. There were no secret weapons to begin with.
Not to mention the extra care, even exchanging for supplies and materializing were done in a business-like manner.
In order to gather the expedition team and supplies, Ouyang Shuo had basically exchanged all of his personal Achievement Points. One had to know that it was more than 100 million Achievement Points.
Gaia was still the impartial Gaia.
At the same time, it also meant that the risk of the expedition to the Hope Planet was basically equivalent to the Silver Hand's argument.
Ouyang Shuo's expedition this time was to create a miracle.
Second, it was not that the Silver Hand did not have the opportunity to establish a base on the Hope Planet in the future.
According to the exchange rules set by Gaia between the forward operating base and the Mother Planet, once enough supplies were gathered, Gaia would throw out a new pioneering quota.
After all, the more forward operating bases there were, the higher the chances of human survival.
When it came to protecting the interests of humanity, Gaia would never be biased, nor would it be ambiguous.
To put it bluntly, wanting to destroy the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge was Ouyang Shuo's private matter and had nothing to do with Gaia. The battle for the future dominance of the Hope Planet was also an internal matter of humanity and had nothing to do with Gaia.
Compared to this, Gaia was more concerned about how to turn the Resource Planet into a planet suitable for the homo sapiens to live on, so as to prepare for the future separation of the two major populations.
Therefore, Grandpa Jack's worries were unnecessary. It could be considered as "worrying over nothing"!
The side effect was probably that after the Arab King came to a similar conclusion as Grandpa Jack, he no longer resisted fearlessly and chose to surrender.
