    Helena then remarked, “By the way, Mr. Wade, the Nordic royal family has a holiday residence in Ling’en. It was constructed by my grandmother’s father during her childhood. This spot is renowned for its stunning views of the aurora, and the surrounding area spans several kilometers, all belonging to the royal family. You can enjoyplete privacy, and the property has been well-preserved over the years. If it suits you, you could take Miss Lin there to stay. The house is impably clean, and if it gets chilly, you can simply light the firece.”


    Charlie was surprised to learn that the Nordic royal family had a holiday home right in the town he was visiting. This revtion seemed like a perfect solution, prompting him to respond, “I’ll check with Suman to see what she thinks.”


    Helena nodded and said, “Please hold on for a moment, Mr. Wade. I’ll arrange for someone to retrieve the key. You can discuss it with Miss Lin during your journey. If she’s interested, you both can head over right away.”


    Finding Helena’s suggestion quite reasonable, Charlie agreed without hesitation. Helena swiftly instructed the butler to fetch a set of keys. The butler informed him that the holiday home Helena mentioned was actually a manor situated on a hill outside Lingen. The entire hill and the substantial surroundingnd were owned by the Nordic royal family. In earlier years, the royal family had more power and faced a more favorable economic climate, resulting in lowernd prices in northern Europe. To ensure his daughter could witness the aurora, the old emperor purchased thend and constructed a Nordic-style holiday vi.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This holiday vi held many cherished childhood memories for the old queen. Despite the Nordic royal family’s decline inter decades, they have consistently maintained the vi, and Helena fondly recalled visiting it with her family during her youth.


    Charlie took the key, and along with Lin Wan’er (ni), they packed a few essentials and departed from the pce. The data center was conveniently located in the north of Osu City, where An Kaifeng, Li Yalin, and Trent were already present, so they headed there.


    Upon arrival, Charlie greeted everyone and instructed them to reach out to Helena for minor issues while contacting him for more significant matters.


    Just before leaving, Trent approached Charlie with a request. “Mr. Wade, I need to discuss something with you,” he said.


    “What’s on your mind, brother?” Charlie inquired.


    Trent exined, “Over the past couple of days, I’ve reviewed the software, hardware, and database of Skyline. I discovered that since Musk’s SpaceX began itsmercial satelliteunch services, Skyline has consistently entrusted their remote sensing satellites to them. They have been one of SpaceX’s earliest and most loyal clients, maintaining a close partnership. I’d like to ask if you could reach out to Skyline and have them register Wanlong Hall’smunication satellite under their name. This would leverage the strong rtionship Skyline has with Musk’s SpaceX, allowing us to have our satelliteunched into orbit.”


    Trent continued, “Launching satellites is a highly regted field with stringent requirements. There are thousands ofpanies capable of building various satellites, but only about ten provideunch services to third parties. Thesepanies have stringent qualifications, and without a suitable partner, Wanlong Hall may have to find a new shellpany and re-establish rtionships with firms like SpaceX, which would be far less convenient than being directly associated with Skyline.”


    After considering his exnation, Charlie nodded and replied, “This shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll reach out to the responsible parties. Do you have any other requests, brother?”


    Trent took a moment to think and said, “If theunch process can be streamlined, I want to increase our satellite count to over 30. Today’smunication satellites are small and rtively affordable. For instance, SpaceX’s Starlink satellites only cost a few hundred thousand dors each. In the long run, Starlink ns to deploy over 10,000 satellites, if not more. However, to address Wanlong Hall’s globalmunication and inte ess needs, a few dozen low-Earth satellites would suffice.”<fn3a81> The source of th?s content is fι?dnοvel</fn3a81>


    Charlie nodded in agreement. “Since acquiring data from Skyline, my expectations for the satellite project have indeed grown. If we can achieve our objectives,unching dozens of satellites—if not 10,000 in the future—shouldn’t be an issue. Brother, proceed with this n. If you need funding, I’ll provide it; if you need personnel, I’ll cover those costs, and you can recruit as needed. If you require connections, I’ll assist with that too. Let’s aim tounch our satellite next year.”


    Trent’s excitement was palpable. “If we can expedite theunch process, our satellite could enter orbit by the first quarter of next year. The technology involved inmunication satellites isn’t overlyplex. It’s akin to purchasing and assemblingputer hardware, with the supply chain capable of addressing those needs. The real challenges lie in theunch, postunch operations, and software integration. Those areas are my expertise, and I’m confident in my ability to manage them effectively. Additionally, I’ve reached out to some former ssmates in the U.S. who are currently facingyoffs and sry reductions. I’ve gauged their interest, and they’re willing to start anew if thepensation and benefits are appropriate. Once we’re closer to a solid n, I aim to build a research and development team in the U.S. to develop ourmunication system and handle the subsequent tasks after the satellite is operational.”


    Recognizing that Trent hadid out aprehensive n, Charlie encouraged him, “Brother, go ahead with these initiatives. I can establish a venture capital fund in the U.S. whenever needed. Once you’re ready, you can set up a startup, and I’ll invest in the angel round. This would allow you to gather your former colleagues and work together.”


    Trent quickly interjected, “Mr. Wade, my financial history hasn’t been great. The FBI and tax authorities can verify this. Shortly after I left the U.S., I received an unexpected angel investment, which could raise suspicions. My old colleagues might question it. How about establishing a satellitemunication division within Skyline? I could lead that division. This way, it not only avoids raising any eyebrows from outsiders, but my former colleagues won’t question it either, and importantly, SpaceX won’t have any doubts!”
