Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 679
679 Heaven-defying Invention
“Sending yourself to the border of the sea of stars isn’t as cheap as you think.”
This sentence came from the military representative who was in charge of receiving them. He told the leaders of the countries in front of him truthfully.
When they heard this, their faces tensed up.
They knew that the use of the Interstellar Teleportation Gate was not cheap.
However, at this moment, an indescribable uneasiness rose in their hearts.
“As a member of the Planetary Alliance, we are also working hard for the development of Eternal Sun. Can’t we enjoy some special treatment?”
This request came from a confident national leader.
“Haha. Do you know how hard it was to build this space portal? Do you know how much effort our chief engineer, Mr. Wu, spent on this? Do you understand how advanced this technology is?”
The military representative’s series of sharp questions made the other national leaders speechless.
When he revealed the price of a teleportation, gasps of shock rang out throughout the entire venue.
“What?! Each teleportation costs fifty million? And only five people can teleport at a time?!” someone who could not accept the price shouted.
“Haha. Yes, it costs fifty million. If you think it’s expensive, you can take a spaceship and fly to your destination slowly. China isn’t planning on giving you free service…”
This was China’s decision. This attitude stemmed from the betrayal of some countries during the Dark Star incident.
China was no longer polite to these countries.
He would not let those blacklisted people enjoy any of China’s benefits.
This was something that Wu Mo had emphasized.
Helpless, some countries could only bear to pay this fee.
This was so that they could send their top talents to Eternal Sun as soon as possible and avoid the dangers of space travel.
When the time for teleportation arrived, everyone stared at this scene nervously.
They were afraid that something unexpected would happen.
This was because the people they sent over were all top talents in various fields.
For example, top engineers in the construction field, top scientists in the biological science field, and so on.
All of them had gone to Eternal Sun for long-term projects for their own countries.
Their mission was important; there was no room for error.
Then, all of a sudden, the electronic device of the portal started to work.
It was as if a huge black mouth had swallowed them whole.
Only when they saw the people from their own country disappear into the portal.
The leaders of every country were holding their breaths tightly.
However, a few seconds later, the teleportation gate on the other side of the starry sky opened.
Only when the talents walked out did they heave a sigh of relief.
“This teleportation gate is heaven-defying. It’s safe, effective, and fast!”
Everyone sighed.
Thus, everyone forgot about the high cost of the teleportation gate and chose to apply to use it.
However, the Interstellar Teleportation Gate couldn’t serve them endlessly.
There was a ten-hour cooldown time after each teleportation, which caused these countries to start fighting over it.
“Everyone, stop arguing. We can draw lots to determine the order of teleportation.”
At this moment, Wu Mo also arrived at the venue.
Everyone focused their eyes on him.
They all knew that Wu Mo was the one who had designed the Interstellar Teleportation Gate.
Hence, everyone followed Wu Mo’s suggestion and started drawing lots.
The national leaders looked at the results of their lots and hoped that they could be better than others.
When the final draw results were out, there seemed to be a duet of joy and sorrow.
Everyone understood that the dozens of countries had to wait in line for the long twenty hours.
The country behind him could only wait until the end of time.
Therefore, if they could quickly send their country’s elites to their destination, they would be able to send them to their destination.
This was undoubtedly a huge benefit.
At this moment, the Interstellar Teleportation Gate was activated again. Like a magical key, it sent the second batch of talents to that new world.
However, it was worth mentioning that each country could only send five people.
This was also a severe test for the Interstellar Teleportation Gate.
After all, Wu Mo wasn’t sure if he could send five people at the same time.
Their previous experiment had only tested the teleportation of one person.
“What? Why can’t he send five people over?”
When the manager heard Wu Mo’s words, he was so shocked that he was speechless. His heart was filled with regret.
“Oh, my God! I should have made a more careful decision earlier… Is there still time to go back on my word?”
However, there was no turning back. The few of them disappeared through the portal.
A few seconds later, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the other side.
On the screen, they saw the portal in the oasis slowly opening.
Five top-notch talents walked out from inside. Their faces were filled with confusion.
“Haha! We’ve succeeded! There was no mistake. I was almost scared to death!”
The country’s leader patted his chest nervously. He was still uneasy.
Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
Since they had succeeded, it proved that the space teleportation gate was stable and effective. They no longer had to worry about safety.
Then, the portal entered a cooldown period.
However, to everyone’s surprise, China suddenly sent some construction professionals over.
“Wait. What’s going on? Didn’t you say that there was an hour of cooldown? Why did you suddenly send someone over?”
“Yes, it’s only been an hour. It should still be in the cooldown period!”
“Is China lying to us? Is the ten-hour cooldown fake?”
For a moment, everyone’s emotions were roused. They could not accept such a serious lie.
Wu Mo had clearly stated that within the ten hour cooldown time, it was impossible for the interstellar gate to be activated again.
However, only an hour later, the Chinese teleported over.
Wasn’t this treating everyone as fools?
However, Wu Mo responded to everyone’s questions with a tough attitude.
“I’m sorry. The ten-hour cooldown is only applicable to you. In fact, it doesn’t need a cooldown. This is a special passage for us to send people to Eternal Sun!”
What?
This news shocked everyone.
They didn’t expect Wu Mo to say such a thing.
What could they do?
They could only choose not to accept it, quit, or pay the fee and wait for the cooldown. What other choice did they have?
Unless, they had the same spaceship technology as China.
If he could ensure that he reached Eternal Sun safely, he would have to obediently pass through the teleportation gate.
That way, he could minimize the number of accidents, right?
On the other hand, the opening of the teleportation gate allowed a large number of people to arrive on Eternal Sun.
In that instant, Eternal Sun’s development advanced by leaps and bounds.
Right now, Eternal Sun already had ten first-tier cities.
These urban agglomerations had already been connected, but they avoided the treasure areas. The results were obvious.
