Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1419: Final Chapter Salute the New Era!

Chapter 1419: Final Chapter Salute the New Era!

If Lincoln had announced the establishment of [Stars] Company and immediately claimed he was going to build a Spaceship,

most people would have merely praised him for his ambition.

But now, having completed the engine test in front of everyone—even just a test at 50% efficiency—no one doubted his ability to build one anymore.

Some even began to suspect: had he already secretly built one without telling everyone?

However, Lincoln’s next words dispelled this possibility:

“Currently, it remains on the drawing board.”

“But the greatest challenge—the engine—has been overcome.

So, we are fully confident that we can build it in reality!”

“For this purpose, I need to introduce two core designers of the Spaceship.”

Mavis and Dr.

Dark Star appeared on the deck simultaneously.

Lincoln first ruffled Mavis’s pink head: “This is Mavis, who is already well familiar to you all, so I won’t say too much.”

Dark Star, who has recently joined us.

Today is the first time meeting everyone.

Just get an impression for now, and you will get to know him better over time.”

“Of course, if you want to get to know him faster, it’s not impossible.”

“This leads me to what I’m about to discuss—”

“If among those watching the press conference, there is someone with experience in the field of aerospace engineering and interested in building a Spaceship…”

“Then, welcome to join [Stars]!”

“After the press conference, I will release the company’s email address.

We welcome talents from around the globe to come for consultations and exchanges.”

Upon hearing these words, engineers worldwide in the aerospace field were deeply stirred.

Especially those who had previously visited Daxia, conversed with Lincoln in seminars, and participated in discussions about “building a flying aircraft carrier”.

They were somewhat bewildered looking at the Spaceship.

It was simply that the design of the Spaceship before them bore almost no relation to the one discussed on-site at the time!

Just what had everyone discussed back then?

Of course, no one could have imagined at the time that Lincoln would bring out such an unimaginable engine!

With this gadget, strength could make bricks fly; not to speak of the current design of the Spaceship, even a square iron box could be forcibly pushed into space!

The many problems they had needed to consider before were nothing in front of this invincible engine!

But if you asked them if they were disappointed?

No!

Not at all disappointed!

They were thrilled to death!

Many had even figured out how to write their job application letters.

They still had Lincoln’s digital card.

As soon as the press conference ended, they would make a phone call!

Though hibernation and digital life were tempting, after all, they still had several years to hesitate.

But the Spaceship,…

That was something laid out in front of them!

Once missed, it might not be so easy to join later!

Lincoln was unaware of their feelings, so to aggressively poach global talent, he continued to unveil other plans of [Stars] Company—

“After completing the Spaceship, [Stars] Company’s next project will be: [Moon Base].”

“We will build new types of Spaceships, capable of deploying self-unfolding bases and intelligent robots to the surface of the Moon.”

“If necessary, one can also remotely intervene, and take over the robots with brain-control to solve any unexpected issues.”

As Lincoln spoke, an image of a chest being deployed to the Moon, digging holes, reinforcing, and unfolding gradually appeared beside him.

Some robots also appeared on the screen, sometimes behaving in a very human-like manner by scratching their heads.

“For this, we will also need to launch some communication satellites to help relay signals.”

“Believe me, this is not difficult at all.”

The screen zoomed out, and between the Earth-Moon system, various communication satellite nodes were marked out, even naming the communication chain: Magpie Bridge.

“Once the Moon base construction is complete, we can officially start Moon colonization, establishing permanent settlements.”

“This is our first step [toward the stars].”

Lincoln’s straightforward words, coupled with clear visual demonstrations, instantly filled the audiences with longing.

But what he was about to talk about was just the beginning:

“With acquired experience, we will immediately start the second project: [Mars Colonization].”

“Following the same process, we will do it again on Mars!”

Another perspective opened up on the other side of Lincoln—

It was a scene of spaceships heading towards Mars to build a base.

“In addition, [Stars] will cooperate with Daxia Aerospace Academy to launch another plan at the same time—”

“[Lagrange Point Permanent Space Station Project]!”

“We will establish a permanent living space at the Earth-Moon system Lagrange point.”

“This is a city in space, a bastion for humanity’s move toward the Universe!”

Another image unfolded, this time showing the construction process of the space city.

This space city differed considerably from the space city in the Spirit Realm—it wasn’t shaped like a dumbbell but more like a slowly rotating wheel.

“Finally, [Stars] will also work with [Titan Manufacturing] to collaborate in the development of large space mechs designed for use in space operations.”

“I have named it: [Kuafu Project]!”

A series of mechs emerged from thin air, exhibiting various designs but sharing one common feature—

They could fly!

Four plans, four videos, surrounding Lincoln.

In conclusion, Lincoln stated:

“Join Stars!”

“Journey with us out of the cradle and into the Universe!”

This speech not only ignited the passion of all aerospace workers but also sparked a universal yearning among countless netizens for the stars!

With the grand blue flames jetting from the ground to the Karman line as evidence, everything Lincoln said is no longer a castle in the air.

All of it can be realized.

As long as there are enough people to join him, to support him.

Above the airship, the sounds of joy were thunderous.

In the live broadcast room, the screen was filled with comments exclaiming, [Walk out of the cradle, step towards the universe].

In cities, on streets, in thousands of households, cheers erupted.

At this moment, it seemed as if the entire world pulsed with excitement for this event.

Lincoln fell silent, basking in the glory of the moment with a smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he dismissed all the screens around him.

“The formal part is all said and done,” he announced.

“But as is customary, we usually conclude a press conference with an uplifting note.”

“So, if you don’t mind, let’s talk a little more about public topics, like the future of the world…”

By Lincoln’s side, Camille Victoria, Mavis, and Dr.

Darkstar, one by one, exited the stage, leaving the entire deck space to Lincoln.

Lincoln, with a smile, looked at the players on the airship and through the lens at the global audience that might well be twenty to thirty billion strong.

“First off, I’d like to bring up something many people might have inadvertently overlooked—”

“The name of the engine we just tested.”

“[Positron Reactor Engine].”

He paused briefly, giving everyone a few seconds to think before he continued:

“As the name suggests, the [Positron Reaction Furnace] came first, followed by the engine.”

Lincoln raised his hand, and a small blue core enveloped in a strong magnetic containment field appeared in his grasp.

“This reactor is not only useful for building engines but can also serve as the power core for mechs.”

The image of the small Crimson Storm appeared; Lincoln inserted the blue core into the Crimson Storm’s chest cavity, and instantly, blue lines spread out from the chest in all directions!

In the end, blue flames burst forth from the eyes of the Crimson Storm!

“It goes without saying that it can also be used for power generation.”

Another blue energy core materialized, and countless thin blue lines grew from it, continuously spreading and forming, outlining the silhouette of a city.

It was as if viewing a city from the perspective of electricity.

“To drive cars.”

Blue flames lit up in the engine compartments of various cars.

“Or…

for anything traditional energy sources can do.”

More scenes unfolded one by one.

Everyone watching couldn’t help but follow Lincoln’s descriptions, indulging in the world-changing impact of this new energy source.

And Lincoln’s speech went on:

“Once, nuclear fusion was regarded as the answer to energy, and infinite energy, the answer to all societal problems.”

“Now, the [Positron Reaction Furnace] offers a response, a stronger, better answer.”

“What are the most pressing global issues we face today?”

“Hunger and poverty?”

“Infinite energy can level mountains, fill valleys, drain swamps, divert rivers, turn wastelands into fertile fields, and make impassable barriers traversable.”

“Shortage of water resources?”

“As long as energy is affordable enough, seawater can be easily desalinated.”

“…”

The press conference had reached a level of attention unprecedented in human history.

The global focus was here, listening to Lincoln talk about this earth-shattering, paradigm-shifting enterprise.

“There are innumerable problems in the world, and I am ignorant of most of them.”

“But I believe many people are striving to improve this world.”

“I also believe that the advancement of technology and the development of civilization can provide a strong impetus for this improvement.”

“Just as with the Spirit Realm, so is with the Positron Reaction Furnace.”

“A realm of infinite possibilities, a vast universe, endless energy, and…

countless hearts longing for a better world, are all laid out before us!”

“All the conditions are in place, a better new era is within our grasp!”

The audiences of the press conference have been stirred time and again, but listening to Lincoln’s speech now, feeling his optimism and confidence, they couldn’t help but imagine that bright and wonderful new era with him.

And their hearts fluttered with excitement.

It was at this moment that Lincoln suddenly raised his hand and picked up a glass of alcohol.

At the same time, within the Spirit Realm, a glass of alcohol—beverages for the underage—materially appeared in front of all adult users.

The audience was somewhat surprised, but they still raised their glasses.

Then they heard Lincoln’s toast:

“To the new era!”

He lifted his glass and drained it in one gulp.

The players, already emotionally charged by his speech, whether they drank alcohol or not, swept up in the moment, raised their glasses and drank heartily!

“So!

The press conference concludes here!”

“All games showcased during the press conference are now available in the Spirit Realm!”

“I wish you all a pleasant gaming experience!”
