Chapter 827: Chapter 786: Wanna Fight? Boss Lin
Of course, Lincoln understood what Henry meant.
Time was tight, and training would be tough, so he shouldn’t cause any trouble and just fly obediently. It would be best for everyone involved.
But he couldn’t simply do that.
Lincoln had already deeply realized how troublesome it was to go to space.
But because it was troublesome, he wanted to cherish this rare opportunity and gain as much sensory data as possible.
And the “spacewalk” was very critical, as it was related to the virtual world’s universe navigation plan; Lincoln had to prepare early.
If it weren’t for Daxia’s space station’s ongoing expansion and busyness, Lincoln would insist on going there for a tour.
But once the space station was completed and could accommodate more people, he would definitely find a way to go there.
Considering his current contributions to Daxia, it shouldn’t be a problem as long as he had enough money.
It had already been 20 days since the [Digital Reserve Team] was assembled, and their enthusiasm for work was high.
Apart from the previous New Year’s activities, where they performed three songs consecutively at Night City’s [Circular Concert Hall] and gained considerable attention, they had focused all their energy on the design of the space elevator.
During this period, their team had expanded from an initial 5-person group to 12 people, including professionals in design, visual effects, motion effects, popular science, sci-fi, and so on.
Among these talents, 4 of them had joined the team through external exchange and seeking guidance.
The space elevator design proposal, after five iterations, had finally reached a point where Lincoln was satisfied.
A week ago, Lincoln added 8 more people to their team, forming a 20-person group that officially commenced the construction of the space elevator.
However, to this day, the team members were still unaware of where the space elevator they were building would be used.
They were even more clueless that Lincoln was planning to dismantle their team on the day the sky elevator was completed, just like he did with the casual game development team.
The sci-fi game development team would undergo a similar process of nurturing, refining, maturing, and ultimately becoming independent.
In this process, capable people would naturally stand out and become the backbone and leaders of new teams.
Considering Cloud Dream’s extraordinary project development speed, this process would also be relatively fast.
So as a boss, Lincoln had to provide support and could not lag behind. Sensory data related to space had to be prepared as soon as possible.
On this trip to the aerospace center, he not only had to complete all the training but also touch all the aerospace equipment!
Useful or not, he would touch first and decide later!
He even intended to personally experience training equipment that he wouldn’t need, just to have richer sensory data.
Given this rare opportunity for a “spacewalk,” he couldn’t possibly let it pass.
As for Henry, it was a bit of a headache: “This aerospace mission doesn’t seem to have a spacewalk scheduled…”
“Really?” Lincoln didn’t hesitate at all and immediately replied, “What if I sponsor another rocket launch, will this task be added then? If that’s not enough…”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Henry quickly interrupted him, “Don’t add any more!”
“It’s just that it’s quite troublesome, so don’t make it seem like I’m extorting you… Our unit doesn’t research rockets. I’ll go and do the communication for you now.”
As he spoke, Henry regretted for the umpteenth time that he shouldn’t have asked Lincoln that question in the first place!
Lincoln, of course, had no idea of Henry’s regret and promptly thanked him: “Thank you! It’s such a hassle! I’ll treat you to dinner later, and you can pick the place.”
“No need, since we both don’t like socializing over meals.”
Henry already had a good understanding of Lincoln’s personality, so he didn’t play any tricks with his words.
“Shall I help you find a wife then?” Lincoln still wanted to thank Henry.
“??” Henry was shocked, “Does Cloud Dream have the technology in that area?”
“Haha, Cloud Dream doesn’t have it, but I do.”
——Actually, it’s Mavis who has it.
Every day, Mavis, who has high-intensity gossip sessions and vast server resources, does hold countless eligible single men and women resources and couple matching algorithms.
Although this algorithm is a byproduct of the gossip, it’s used to determine who’s online and who’s more rotten and outrageous.
But by using this algorithm in combination with Mavis’s [Beauty Scoring Algorithm] and Cloud Dream’s [Worldview Selection Algorithm] used during recruitment, Mavis can easily help people find their perfect match online.
Lincoln explains this to Henry.
However, unfortunately, as soon as Henry found out that this was based on public internet data for real people rather than “creating a perfect virtual wife” for him, he immediately declined:
“Thanks, but no need. Remember to be at the Aerospace Center at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Yue Pengju knows the way.”
This effectively ended Lincoln’s attempt to pressure Henry into getting married.
After hanging up the phone, Lincoln continued to push the development of “Chang’an”.
The good news is: Most of the difficulties encountered by the development teams have been resolved.
Working intently for half a month, Lincoln not only greatly pushed the progress, but employees also completely understood his demands, which reduced the number of times they needed to consult with him.
In fact, many project teams have completed their work, and after Lincoln’s inspection, they began to help other groups with more complicated tasks.
Progress was moving at lightning speed every day, and the release of the first chapter before the New Year was no longer in doubt.

Busy for the whole afternoon, Lincoln completed the inspection of the horse racing system and successfully managed to leave work at exactly five o’clock.
He’s not slacking off; he has to study the technical information on consciousness chips in the evening. If he doesn’t rest in between, he won’t be able to learn anything.
Recently, he’s been working so hard that even he finds it a bit unusual.
Mavis, feeling sorry for him, doesn’t pester him to play after he finishes studying each day, but instead gives him massages to help relax his tense nerves.
But right now, it’s commuting hours, and it’s the perfect time to indulge in some fun together!
With a full face of gossip and enjoyment, Mavis shares interesting news and gossip with Lincoln from the back seat.
After the overseas server centers were successively put into operation, her gossip range was no longer limited to the Daxia region.
She now aims to gossip about the entire globe!
Lincoln had no doubt that if he let Mavis start her own online newspaper, she could create a globally popular tabloid in just a month, even without any external help.
However, Lincoln did not do this, and instead opened a securities account for Mavis with his name and deposited 5 million as startup capital for her to play with.
——He’s never lacked money, and Mavis naturally wouldn’t either. Opening a securities account was purely out of curiosity, to see what she could achieve with it.
At this moment, Mavis was telling Lincoln a scandalous gossip: A woman in France got pregnant, but she wasn’t sure who the father was, so she called up her six lovers, trying to make them live together and raise the child.
But the six lovers disagreed.
In the end, they decided to roll the dice to determine who would be the child’s father…
“And then?” asked Lincoln curiously, “Who rolled the dice?”
Mavis was about to reveal the answer, but she suddenly turned her head and looked out the window, then changed the subject: “Master~ Something funny has happened!”
“?” Lincoln’s eyes were filled with question marks, “What’s so funny? Wait, what about the result of the dice roll?”
“Forget about the dice roll for now, Master, you should check out the Wild Island announcement. You’ve been dragged into it too.”
“Wild Island? “Iron Fist”?” Lincoln was confused, “What’s it got to do with me?”
“The Iron Fist Exhibition Match!” Mavis said, her face full of anticipation.
