Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

Upon reading this, and considering that the novel was published in 2007, Zhou Weirong felt utterly drained and sat back down in his seat.

A look of disbelief on one's face suggests a profound sense of hopelessness about the world.

So, what exactly is their world like?

How can I trust what you say?

Zhou Zhezhi didn't believe it so easily, and instead questioned Fang Jing with sharp eyes.

Fang Jing remained completely unafraid and met the old man's gaze.

Everything he said was true.

In fact, before he said those words, he anticipated that any normal person would question them, so he prepared a response.

Fang Jing spoke in a low voice, staring intently into Zhou Zhe's increasingly authoritative eyes:

"In the 1980s, China received a strange prophecy, the timeframe of which was 2044..."

Chapter 26: Batteries Transferred to Civilian Use, Electric Vehicles Make a Comeback

"!"

Upon hearing Fang Jing's first sentence, Zhou Zhe's eyes widened in astonishment.

This is China's top secret.

In the 1980s, specifically in 1987, the 710th Research Institute of Aerospace received a message with the content "2044" from an unknown source.

Many secret scholars at the time racked their brains but still couldn't figure it out.

What exactly does "2044" refer to?

Because it could never be deciphered, this information eventually became top secret.

Institute 710 has also undergone several renovations.

It's worth mentioning that Institute 710—does that name sound familiar?

That's right, the place that the Wandering Earth has transformed into, the one specifically used to communicate with Fang Jing, is the former Institute 710!

"Very good, I believe you now."

Seeing that Fang Jing had revealed the secret in just one sentence, Zhou Zhezhi completely believed it.

"What do we need in exchange for specific information about 'The Wandering Earth'?"

Zhou Zhe paused for a moment, calming his unease and astonishment, and looked into Fang Jing's eyes.

"The instructions from above are to hand it over directly to you."

Fang Jing smiled slightly and made a gesture as if to take something out of his pocket.

"Eh!"

Zhou Zhe waved his hand, shook his head, took a deep breath, and calmly looked at Fang Jingdao:

"We are still in the stage of building strategic mutual trust, so this information is extremely important and meaningful to us."

"How about this? Saying 'exchange' is too formal. We can provide you with technical support for now."

It's a fact that the technology in Fang Jing's world is not as advanced as theirs.

In order to build a good relationship, Zhou Zhezhi decided to take the initiative.

What technology do you currently need?

Fang Jing was pleasantly surprised to hear Zhou Zhezhi's words.

After clearing his throat and exchanging a few polite words, Fang Jing finally stated his request:

"What we need right now is AI-related technology; in addition, we need your help to digest the open-source Class C technology materials."

"Okay, I will arrange it."

Zhou Zhe nodded slightly.

This request isn't too unreasonable; at least it doesn't require access to Class B technical information.

Both sides maintained a very consistent understanding!

"By the way, there is one more piece of information I would like you to verify: was there a meteorite with a blue tail flame flying over China yesterday?"

Fang Jing did not forget Zhu Lao's experiment and immediately added to it.

"Rong'er, go to the information office and ask."

Zhou Zhezhi handed the task over to Zhou Weirong.

Zhou Weirong immediately accepted the order and left the room.

"Hehe, Xiao Fang, it's a pleasure to work with you."

With the business concluded, Zhou Zhezhi's face broke into a kind smile. He extended his right hand and asked in a gentle manner, "Give me a heads-up, is the movie's ending the same as the novel's?"

"Pleasant to work with."

Fang Jing shook hands with Old Zhou, smiled, and replied, "The movie isn't over yet, but the novel has some major issues. You'll understand once you read it."

"Ah."

Zhou Zhe nodded upon hearing this and quietly began reading "The Wandering Earth".

To Fang Jing, this seemed utterly bizarre.

In the movie, Zhou Zhezhi is reading the novel *The Wandering Earth*.

Spoiler alert!

However, Fang Jing dared not treat this world as a movie world.

From his interactions with them, Zhou Zhezhi and Zhou Weirong appeared to be living, breathing people.

Old Zhou really did take a look.

The original novel of The Wandering Earth was very short.

He finished reading it in no time.

After reading it, Zhou Zhezhi fell into a long sigh.

"Although they have encountered many setbacks, at least they have started their journey."

"That's right, at least humanity still has a future."

Fang Jing added a sentence, which was meant to comfort Zhou Zhezhi.

Zhou Zhe nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

There was silence.

He was clearly processing what he had just seen.

After a while, Zhou Weirong returned.

"How about it?"

Fang Jing was somewhat expectant.

"No, I checked with astronomical observation platforms across the country, and there were no meteorites that met the criteria yesterday."

Zhou Weirong shook his head.

"Okay, thank you."

Fang Jing was somewhat disappointed, but the chances of success were slim to begin with, so he didn't care too much.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's begin the transaction."

Zhou Zhe took the USB drive that Zhou Weirong suddenly handed him, smiled slightly, and reminded him, "Since you know about the 710 Institute, I can only remind you to avoid it."

"We have been accessing it while the internet is offline, so please rest assured."

Fang Jing nodded upon hearing this and vanished instantly.

The next moment, he appeared with a book in his hand.

The Wandering Earth Setting Collection!

"I'll go and finish my work now, I won't disturb your reading any longer."

Fang Jing smiled slightly, exchanged the USB drive with Zhou Zhe, and then disappeared from the spot again.

mission completed!

……

Wandering around the earth world.

Zhou Zhezhi finished reading the "Wandering Earth Setting Collection" in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

He murmured:

"So, you were born from Institute 710."
