Chapter 241: Military Mode

"What technology?"

Both Elena and Gael had intense curiosity in their eyes.

"This is..."

"Sir, the crazy woman is calling. Do you want to answer?"

When Zeke was about to say the name, suddenly Jarvis' voice came out.

Every time they heard Jarvis say that the crazy woman was calling, Elena and Gael couldn't help laughing.

"I just got the energy extraction device of the Cosmic Cube. She called so soon? What a coincidence."

Zeke raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, during your retreat, His Majesty the King made a total of 182 calls, an average of 26 calls per day. It's not a coincidence!"

Jarvis quipped.

"That crazy old lady is so busy but calls me 26 times a day. She is really persevering!"

Zeke said, "Go on. I also want to hear why she is looking for me."

The call is connected.

"Oh? It got through?"

Grace's voice came from the other end, and she seemed surprised by the phone call.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Zeke said casually, "If it's about sales in the second world, then I don't need to say more. This level is just a basic operation for me. So it's not worth mentioning."

Don't think that Zeke is always in the laboratory, but every day when he is free, he will ask Jarvis to pull up the data and look at the second world's various statistics.

As Zeke expected, when the second world came out, it immediately detonated the enthusiasm of people around the globe. And the sales of the fulldive virtual helmets reached 2 billion within a week!

The second world has more than 1 billion active online people every day, and the number of people online at the same time is as high as 800 million.

Such an excessive number of players will naturally bring in huge revenue. Z Cinema plus the second world, with Zeke's current financial resources, he can easily buy any country, even Country A.

"Speaking of which, congratulations! The revenue of the Second World has once again hit a new high, and the elders, ministers, and nobles can't stop laughing."

Grace said coldly and calmly, "Because of your outstanding performance, the kingdom's financial income has increased by at least ten times this year, so after discussing with the elders and ministers these days, I issued a series of new policies to benefit the kingdom and the people. As a result, the citizens are rejoicing now and praising your great achievements everywhere!"

"Small idea, so that the citizens don't have to be so ostentatious, just help me build a statue!"

Zeke smiled.

"The project to erect the statue is already in progress."

Grace said, "The central square of the Royal Capital is where you held your first press conference. It is planned to erect a statue of you about 88 meters in height at that time, which fits your businessman image!"

"Haha! That's quite good!"

Zeke laughed.

The symbolic meaning is extraordinary in the royal capital's central square. So far, no king has ever erected a statue. Zeke is the first for the Phoenix Kingdom.

What's more, Zeke's first press conference was in the capital city's central square. There are too many meanings here, which is very much in line with his wishes.

Hearing Zeke's hearty laughter from the other end, Grace's beautiful mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a shallow smile.

"You are happy, but don't forget what you said at the celebration banquet before."

Grace continued.

"What was said at the celebration party?"

Zeke thought for a while, "Oh! You are talking about opening military exercises in the second world."

"The commanders of the major military academies in the kingdom have deliberately studied your second world. They think that the 'military drill mode' you casually said at the celebration banquet is very feasible, so I kept calling you and want to let them go as soon as possible. Then, Phoenix soldiers can use the second world to conduct a near-real war exercise."

"The commanders have said that they hope that the virtuality of the military exercise can be adjusted to 100% so that all details can be perfectly presented, and the soldiers can feel what a real war looks like!"

"You wouldn't regret it, right?"

When Grace said this, she shifted her gaze to the landline phone next to her while she was processing the documents.

At the celebration banquet, someone once asked about more application modes in the second world, and Zeke mentioned the military exercise mode then.

As the saying goes, it is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. This is not only secretly remembered by the leaders of other countries, but also all the commanders of the Phoenix Kingdom are looking forward to it!

As soon as the fulldive virtual helmets went on sale, they couldn't wait to buy a batch and come back and experience the second world. Experiments have shown that people with the best psychological quality in the army, who can reach 99% virtual degree, saw the scene as almost the same as reality.

If it reaches 100% virtual degree, what is the difference between everything and real war?

Blood, death, fire, bullet holes, pain... An intense cruel scene is placed in front of all the soldiers, making them truly feel the tragic war!

"Of course, it's fine!"

"It's just to create an extra military exercise mode and cancel the detection of the helmet's automatic matching virtual degree. It's not a big problem!"

"If I remember correctly, the total number of soldiers currently active in the kingdom is 800,000, right? So for the people's willingness to build a statue for me, I'll give them the 800,000 fulldive virtual helmets!"

Zeke was incredibly proud.

As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold can't buy you happiness!

Zeke was delighted to learn that the kingdom's people took the initiative to help him erect a statue. Of course, don't look at this as a big project, but at least it shows their attitude towards him.

"Okay! That's what you said!"

Grace just smiled.

Eight hundred thousand fulldive virtual helmets, calculated at 6,666 Eso each, is 5.3 billion Phoenix coins. Such a large amount of money can be used to invest in the development projects of many organizations.

"By the way, I have a new thing here. I think the military will be very interested."

"I know, that's why you can't be reached for a few days. You must be doing research again! Come on, what did you do this time?"

Grace said.

"Don't worry now. I will go to Phoenix's First Military Academy with the helmets later and let the commander and the others wait and see."

Zeke grinned.

"Okay, let's wait until you come over to reveal it."

Grace was not in a hurry. She knew that Zeke liked to be mysterious and knew very well that nothing he invented was of ordinary quality. But, since Zeke said he wanted to show it in front of the marshal, let him be!

Later, Grace mentioned some confidential issues about the kingdom and asked Zeke to make suggestions.

After all, Zeke is also the second elder of the Phoenix Kingdom. So he should know these things and have the right to make decisions. And she also wants to hear what interesting suggestions he will say.

However, Zeke was obviously not interested in these major affairs of the kingdom, and after two or three words, he just found a reason to hang up the phone.

"This Zeke..."

Grace shook her head.

Ordinary high-ranking people, after having power, like to point the kingdom in various ways, point fingers, highlight their status, and have the right to speak. Grace is allowing Zeke to lead the kingdom, but he is too lazy.

"Zeke, you are the most important person I have ever seen that acts like this."

"I know of the title of the second elder of the kingdom. Your power is second only to the king and the first elder... but you are not enthusiastic about power at all!"

Elena shook her head and sighed, "It would be great if my father could be like you and not take the position seriously."

"Political intrigue is boring. The pond is too small."

Zeke said casually, "And I have always believed in the saying that in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless!"

"Even if you are as smart as Zhuge Liang, if you encounter tanks and cannons, you have to kneel."

"So, instead of wasting time on that pale and powerless thing, it's better to use it to improve my strength."

Zeke's goal is very clear.

What king, the second elder, these titles are only incidental to him in the process of improving his strength.

What's more, no matter how much you fight in politics, you will at most show off your power in a small place like the Phoenix Kingdom. Once you go abroad, you will be a lot smaller.

Look at Zeke again. Concentrate on his technology, with Iron Man, super soldiers, microbots, warp drives, controllable nuclear fusion hydrogen bombs, etc.

Even if Zeke does not insist, his status will naturally rise. The world leaders even came to show their favor to him!

"Jarvis, repeat the experiment and build a batch of energy extraction devices."

"The 'Cube Energy Body' can also be extracted and stored."

"Also, the F8 plan starts construction! One supergiant, two giants, three large, and 100 small."

"Can it be done in an hour?"

Zeke said.

"Sir, it will only take 42 minutes!"

Jarvis replied.

"Okay, then 42 minutes!"

Zeke nodded, "Gael, get dressed up. We'll set off in 42 minutes and head to Phoenix's First Military Academy."

"Project F8? Is this your new technology? Take me to see it too, okay?"

Elena's eyes widened.

Zeke glanced at Elena.

How can he not know that Elena's current identity is also the daughter of Prime Minister North. Therefore, it is inappropriate for her to enter the secret place of the military academy. But what makes Zeke admire her is that through Jarvis' monitoring of Elena's call records, almost every call from North revealed that he wanted Elena to tell him about the information obtained by her, but Elena refused all.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Zeke allows Elena to stay by his side all the time.

"Okay, then prepare yourself and come with me!"

Zeke nodded in agreement.

"Yes!"

Elena's face suddenly burst into a bright smile.

She is an intelligent person. How could she not know her identity is different?

But it is precisely because of this that Zeke is willing to let her follow, which shows that Zeke trusts her.

...

40 minutes later.

Phoenix Tree, on the edge of the swimming pool roof.

"Master!"

Gael wore a beautiful long white dress, put on a little makeup, walked out of the room shyly, and pulled her hair around her ears.

"My Gael is the best!"

Zeke praised with a smile.

"What about me?"

Elena walked out from behind Gael, her already beautiful face, with the embellishment of a fiery red and exquisite long dress, and her long golden wavy hair spilled wantonly. She put on a pose to show her gorgeous figure to the fullest.

"Not bad!"

Zeke said this, but he had to admit in his heart that Elena was a rare beauty in the world. A little dressing up is enough to make people's eyes shine, even if he is used to seeing beautiful women.

"Whee!"

Elena caught Zeke's shining eyes and felt a little proud in her heart.

"Are we wearing steel suits?"

Elena asked.

"No, we have new mobility tools today."

Zeke raised his wrist, "Jarvis, if you're ready, let them start to come and meet us."

"Last 30 seconds, sir!"

Jarvis replied.

"Jarvis, tell us what means of transportation it is? Did Zeke send a helicopter here?"

Elena asked with interest.

After a few months of getting along, Elena and Jarvis became very familiar with each other. Knowing that Jarvis is an almighty artificial intelligence housekeeper, Zeke's many troublesome things are done by him.

"Princess Elena, please wait for 30 seconds."

Jarvis's humanity also remains mysterious.

Thirty seconds is just small talk time.

Just when Elena was still inquiring with Jarvis about the new technology, suddenly, there was a whistling sound from under the roof.

"Zeke, Gael, did you hear it? Something seems to be approaching. I heard the sound of an engine, and it was a lot of engines!"

"Just...below! To the bottom of the rooftop!"

Speaking of which, Elena was about to walk to the edge and look down.

But before reaching the edge, a vast black shadow suddenly rose from the bottom and stayed on the rooftop's edge.

Elena's beautiful eyes stared at the thing that came suddenly.

"This is... a flying saucer?!"
