Good Women Surpass Men
"If I inherit the chieftainship of the Tur tribe ahead of time, will my mother be safe?"
Zhang Xuezhou was used to having Turkalando around, and he didn't regret Turkalando's quiet departure.
Everyone has their own world, and a temporary gathering does not mean eternity.
His life goes on, and it continues to be just as vibrant.
It was only after traversing the world that Zhang Xuezhou received the international communication sent by Turkalando.
"Did you go home to take care of something?"
Zhang Xuezhou was slightly surprised, but quickly replied with a text message.
"But Sister Manqian said she saw me wearing a crown, holding a scepter, and shouting!"
"Yes, you can shout whatever you want, what does this have to do with your mother!"
"My mother has to die for me to inherit the chieftainship... Oh, or I can inherit it even if she doesn't die!"
After exchanging a few words, Turkalando belatedly realized that he had stepped into a huge pit.
But she was still willing to do it.
She preferred to take over as chieftain while Turcorando was still healthy rather than after her mother's death, to avoid the situation she had imagined.
This succession won't be too difficult; if Turcorando is determined to retire, even the elders can't stop him.
The priestess, being the next generation of successors, would undoubtedly be able to pass on her position smoothly.
"Then I congratulate you on taking over as chief of the Tuer tribe," Zhang Xuezhou congratulated you, "And also the twenty-sixth member of the Thousand Islands Alliance!"
"But I never intended to hold these positions!"
"You have no idea how envious I am of you. I've only just secured a lecturer position; reaching your level is incredibly difficult!"
You don't need to comfort me like that!
"This isn't just comforting; that's truly how I feel!"
Looking at Turkalando, who lived a life of wealth and luxury, Zhang Xuezhou felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment.
This is something that even those with status don't want, but he desires it yet cannot obtain it, and can only climb up step by step slowly.
If he succeeds in the succession, Turkalando's status will be almost equivalent to that of a member of the Scarlet Alliance State, giving him a great deal of influence and allowing him to participate in and enjoy the development benefits of the top Thousand Islands Alliance.
"If you were to inherit the chieftainship, how would you arrange things for An Ran?"
"Sister An Ran has returned the crown and scepter to me, and will likely return to Western Capital within ten days!"
"So fast?"
Even though they had considered it in the Thousand Islands Alliance, Zhang Xuezhou and others believed that Ren Anran would be away for at least three to five years.
The fact that Ren Anran was allowed to hand over power so quickly could be attributed either to the influence of the Spiritual Qi of Turcolando, or to the fact that Ren Anran and the others had essentially achieved their goals.
Zhang Xuezhou more towards the latter's assessment.
Zhang Xuezhou was naturally pleased to see this situation.
This means that Ren Yisheng has a chance to get rid of some of his troubles, and Ren Anran's return has also put his mind at ease.
Whether it's Mental Strengthening cultivation or mastering cultivation techniques, Ren Anran could provide him with effective guidance.
Moreover, Ren Anran can communicate with the Emperor through gazing, and Zhang Xuezhou may have similar needs at any time.
After their conversation, Zhang Xuezhou was happy, and Turkalando felt much more at ease, with less anxiety.
"I still wanted to go with you to Qinmeng to catch the ferocious beasts," Turkalando replied sullenly.
"Speaking of this ferocious beast, do you have any readily available communication satellites available for purchase? We want one that doesn't have any backdoors!"
Turkalando casually mentioned something, and suddenly remembered the millipede.
She was about to have a conversation with Zhang Xuezhou when she noticed that Zhang Xuezhou's head suddenly took a sharp turn, leaping from the image of a ferocious beast to that of a communication satellite.
"How could we not leave backdoors?" Tulcarando replied. "Even if our Thousand Islands Alliance were willing to leave no backup means of control, some of our satellite components are purchased from the Aomeijia Alliance, and they might have left backdoors there!"
That's really not clean!
"There's no such thing as absolute cleanliness; it just depends on whether your information is important enough to warrant monitoring. Otherwise, no one will check the information you send."
If you want a completely clean satellite, you have to build it yourself; the consequences of buying everything are hard to control.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't have that many international secrets, but Luo Gaogao was more insistent on this point.
He inquired about the situation, checked the satellite's price with Turkalando, and then communicated with Luo Gaogao.
"We must have a completely independent, controllable communications satellite that operates exclusively in our Scarlet Alliance State's communication frequency band and is protected by a key blockade!"
Luo Gaogao responded to the communication messages quite quickly.
"Do you suspect that someone intercepted your father's communications and then analyzed the research direction he was in, thus forcing him to go abroad for exchange?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
Zhang Xuezhou had met Luo Tianming, Professor Luo Hui, and was also familiar with Luo Gaogao, but he had never met Luo Gaogao's father.
"It's always good to nip problems in the bud," Luo Gaogao replied. "This could be what happened to my father, and it could also happen to you and me in the future!"
"Then we have to be at the right level," Zhang Xuezhou replied.
"I'm not high enough, but you might actually be," Luo Gaogao replied.
"What? I'm enough? What do I have to be enough for!"
"These past few days, everyone in the industry has been talking about your 'beast psychology.' You've got that kind of talent, haven't you been more discreet?" Luo Gao pointed out. "If any foreign countries get wind of your activities, they might target you one day!"
"I was just taking a chance. It was pure luck. Besides, you guys were going to use me as a bet in your fight? This wasn't even with the consent of the person involved."
"Explaining to me is useless. The only correct approach is to stop the rampant spread of information, lock down communication channels, and conduct thorough investigations and blocking of related information. As for anything else, I can't control that!"
Luo Gao was keen to develop the communications industry, and even wanted to create a batch of secret communications satellites to replace the previous communications services of the Scarlet Alliance State.
This goal is a bit too ambitious.
Zhang Xuezhou only thought about the price of a single communications satellite, and then about how at least eighteen satellites would be needed to completely replace the current communications of the Scarlet Alliance State. This made him realize that Luo Gaogao's path was long and arduous.
Moreover, communication satellites cannot simply be launched into the sky; they require corresponding underground support. Otherwise, they will be useless even if launched into the sky.
This also includes the relevant technology, and the Scarlet Alliance State have shortcomings in the field of communication technology, and even have to purchase satellite services from abroad. It will not be easy for them to catch up in the corresponding communication technology.
This is not something that can be done overnight; it may take three, five, or even ten years or more to complete.
And it's impossible for their small circle to just come up with a sum of money and accomplish the whole thing.
As Zhang Xuezhou was deep in thought, his communication device flashed. An ID named "Good Woman Beats Man" was asking to add him as a friend through "The Second Generation's Backyard".
This made him look through the other person's profile before adding them as a friend.
"Hey bro, wanna have a chat?"
Good Girl Wins Over Man sent a message, and Zhang Xuezhou casually replied, "Okay."
To Zhang Xuezhou's surprise, the other party subsequently went silent, and the contact's avatar went dark.
He was slightly surprised but didn't pay much attention.
But just an hour later, three extremely robust women and Luo Gaogao were already standing outside the North Rehe Research Institute.
The other person said they wanted to talk, and they really meant it – they wanted to meet up and talk.
Clearly, after adding him to their contacts, these people immediately began searching for and locating him.
