Chapter 249 Live Broadcast
After dinner, Li Chenglong told everyone to get some rest since there was a match the next day. Yunlan lay on the sofa with her head on Li Chenglong's lap and asked, "Who do you think will be in the top 8? Let's see if our answers are the same."
Li Chenglong thought for a moment and said, "I feel that for the top eight, it would be you, Li Xue, Ding Hai, Shangguan Jingyun, Xu Chu, Jiang Xiaohui, You Hao, and Yan Song. Of course, the premise is that tomorrow's draw will not allow these masters to meet in advance, otherwise the list will definitely not be like this." Yun Lan nodded and said, "That's basically the same as what I think. If I can use weapons, I'm not afraid of anyone."
Li Chenglong said, "Shangguan Jingyun also has her own bound weapon that she can summon. As for other ability users with bound weapons, the only one I've seen is Zhao Rui. However, his axe was brought back from the trial with me, so I guessed that ability users generally don't have bound weapons."
Yunlan smiled and said, "I remember when we came back from the Trial Grounds, Zhao Liying also got a bound weapon, and Han Xiaoling got 100 cubic meters of storage space. It's a pity that the Trial Grounds only allow people below level 6 to enter, otherwise I would have gone in and tried it out too." Li Chenglong said, "Even if we wanted to go in, it's too late. Miss Erica took that scroll with her when she left. She said she needed it, so I gave it to her."
Yunlan changed the subject: "By the way, did you agree to what Yang Liu mentioned to you at dinner today?" Li Chenglong said: "I agree, but there's nothing I can do. I still need to ask for instructions, but I feel that the commander will agree."
During dinner, Yang Liu suggested broadcasting the later matches live. Since they were all within the Crystal Network's communication range, they could broadcast them to all the people of Dawn City and the soldiers of the Dawn Army via Dawn City TV, allowing them to see the performances of the contestants and also learn about the spirit of soldiers from other bases. Li Chenglong readily agreed and immediately submitted a report. Sure enough, at 8 PM that evening, General Chen Guoqiang sent someone to find Li Chenglong and summoned him.
Upon arriving at the office, General Chen Guoqiang smiled and said, "I've read the report you submitted, and I approve your application. But don't thank me yet. I just learned that the coverage radius of your Shuguang City's Crystal Network is now a staggering 1200km. Keep in mind that the Anxi base is only 960 kilometers away from Shuguang City. Given such a long coverage range and the Crystal Network's stability, could you perhaps help restore communications for our other war zones and integrate those bases within its coverage area into your Crystal Network?"
Li Chenglong said somewhat awkwardly, "Currently, we have two communication methods. One is the Crystal Phone, which has now been upgraded to the second generation. To apply for a Crystal Phone, you need a Dawn City ID card or a temporary ID card. However, the temporary ID card can only be applied for in person, and it is only valid for six months. After it expires, you have to re-register or reactivate it through the Crystal Phone network. Activation will extend the usage time by another six months. General Sun Tianlong, General Xu Limin, and others are currently using Crystal Phones."
He continued, "The second method is through the Crystal Communicator, which is similar to our walkie-talkie. To use it normally, you need a Crystal Communicator vehicle as a base station. However, the Crystal Communicator does not require an ID card for verification, but the signal is not as good as the second-generation Crystal mobile phone, and the coverage range is only 80km. Currently, our communication vehicles have reached a considerable scale in the Eastern Theater Command, and the other three bases each have at least a dozen vehicles."
Finally, Li Chenglong said, "We will also have Crystal Satellite and Crystal Satellite Phone in the future, which are said to be able to achieve barrier-free global communication, but these are things for a long time to come."
Chen Guoqiang nodded: "Even using the second type of crystal communicator and communication vehicle would be much better than the current communication. The zombies have now learned to interfere with our troops' communications. In the last battle, the communication problems caused heavy losses to our troops. I need to order a batch of crystal communicators and communication vehicles from you first. Price is not a problem, after all, the communication problem is becoming more and more serious and urgently needs to be solved."
After a moment's thought, Li Chenglong said, "Alright, then, Commander, you can have someone print out the order details and all the required items. After the exchange competition, we can start production and ship it to you." Chen Guoqiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone sort it out in the next few days to see what's urgently needed. But don't ask for too much; our Central and Western Theater Commands are quite poor." Li Chenglong scratched his head, "That's for sure. It will all be a little bit higher than cost price, so don't worry."
The two chatted for a while longer before Li Chenglong took his leave. Upon returning, he immediately found Yang Liu and told her that the commander had approved the live broadcast, and the special forces soldiers could retrieve the broadcasting equipment from Han Xiaoling the next day and connect to the Crystal Network for the broadcast. However, this broadcasting equipment couldn't be connected to the Crystal Network without assistance; it required the Crystal Communication Vehicle's help and permission from the Central Computer Office.
To save time, Yang Liu immediately conducted tests and trials with the special forces members. Only after confirming there were no problems did she feel relieved enough to go to sleep. Li Chenglong informed Sun Tianlong, Xu Limin, and Sun Qingpeng about the live broadcast, asking if they wanted to broadcast it themselves. If so, the central computer in Shuguang City would transmit the live signal to their three bases via the Crystal Network, allowing them to receive and rebroadcast the signal. The leaders of the three bases agreed, deciding to conduct the 16-to-8 video broadcast from their respective bases the following day.
The next morning, before 8 a.m., even before the competition started, the stadium stands were already packed. The leaders arrived at the podium amidst applause. Then came the tense draw ceremony, conducted by Dai Xiaoqiang, Commander of the Central Theater Command. Each draw was read aloud by the host. Meanwhile, the special forces had already driven their communications vehicle to the front of the stands, connected to various live-streaming equipment, and were already broadcasting the draw ceremony live.
戴肖强将军开始抽签，第一组为10级三系异能者丁海对战9级力量系异能者叶凯，第二组为9级风系异能者聂小倩对战8级觉醒者韩晓玲。第三组为9级力量土系双重异能者尤浩对战8级木系异能者杨柳，第四组为9级火系水系异能者姜晓慧对战9级觉醒者上官静云。
剩下的四组为8级风系异能者上官风对战9级觉醒者云岚，9级觉醒者李雪对战9级水系冰系双重异能者王海阳，9级木系水系土系三重异能者严嵩对战9级速度型异能者石飞鸿，最后一组是9级火系速度型双重异能者方华对战10级雷系木系双重异能者许褚。
When the draw results came out, some people were happy and some were sad. Yang Liu said somewhat dejectedly, "I didn't expect to be facing You Hao. This time, I really have to stop here." Li Chenglong comforted her, "Don't say that. You have already done very well to stand out from so many superhumans and make it to the top 16."
However, Li Chenglong also believes that the top 8 can basically be seen from the match schedule, but there should still be a few exciting matches among these 8 games.
