The soldiers watched Jason with deep admiration. The northern princes, too, regarded him with newfound respect. Jason stood atop the city wall, basking in the cheers of the crowd. Suddenly, the time and space gate in his mind vibrated, and a new capability began to emerge.
Jason quickly focused his consciousness and received information from the space-time gate. The news astonished him.
The time-space portal informed him that because he had killed the Night King and eliminated the ghoul threat to that world, the portal's ability had been strengthened. In the future, Jason could now control the time-space portal and transport humans to shuttle between the two worlds.
Being able to travel with other people between the two worlds was a new ability that both surprised and delighted Jason.
However, now was not the time to explore this ability. Jason instructed the soldiers to begin clearing the battlefield. They were to collect the remains of the ghouls piled up beneath the city walls and burn them using gasoline.
This grim task alone kept tens of thousands of soldiers busy for several days. Finally, every last corpse and all the remains were thoroughly burned. As for the Night King and the White Walkers, they had been shredded by the bombs and reduced to ash.
The person most shocked by the battle was Stannis Baratheon. Witnessing the terrifying roar that echoed from the trap circle outside the city, and the raging sea of fire, he couldn't comprehend such god-like power.
Stannis didn't have to wonder for long; Davos Seaworth soon brought him the news.
"What? Was all this caused by a weapon called a 'Bomb' that Lord Jason brought?" Stannis was shocked that such a terrifying explosion could be created by a man-made 'bomb'.
Davos's face was grim. "Your Majesty, it is true. All the soldiers can testify that they planted those dreadful weapons called 'bombs,' which seem to possess the power of the gods."
Stannis turned pale upon hearing this. He slumped into his chair. He had been planning to force the North's surrender and use their troops to fight in the South, but that thought was gone now.
While dealing with the aftermath of the war, Jason arranged to bring a large amount of wine and meat from the modern world, ready to celebrate the victory.
In the modern base, the advisory panel and expert group were ecstatic when Jason informed them that he had gained the ability to carry humans back and forth between the two worlds.
Compared to relying on cameras to film various materials about the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, the chance to enter that strange Otherworld and experience it firsthand, just like Jason, was something no one could refuse.
"The leaders have approved our decision to send personnel into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. Now we must determine the candidates for the first batch to be sent over!" Professor Wang's face showed exhaustion, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Excellent! I'm applying to be in the first batch to go. To be honest, I'm very interested in that fantasy world and its magic!" An expert surnamed Liu from the advisory group was the first to sign up.
"Me too! I want to go as well!" Professor Wu, who specializes in materials, was full of anticipation. "Jason brought the Dragonglass material to us last time, which led to a massive breakthrough in the battery energy industry. Perhaps there is much more to discover in that Otherworld!"
"Our map surveying and mapping team will definitely be in the first batch to enter. In order to develop plans for A Song of Ice and Fire, we will certainly need detailed topographical maps," Professor Zhang stated with a smile.
"Yes, that's undeniable. To develop various mineral resources in that world, railways and roads must be built, and detailed maps will be a major necessity!" another expert agreed.
"Since roads need to be built, our construction team is indispensable. Therefore, our engineering corps must also be among the first to enter!" The military representative, who had been sitting quietly, spoke up suddenly.
Everyone considered this and agreed that the Major General's point was sound. Compared to the construction teams from civilian companies like Railway and Construction Group, the military's engineering corps would naturally be more reliable. The government did not want the secrets of A Song of Ice and Fire to be exposed too early, preferring to maintain secrecy for as long as possible.
The representative from the Aerospace Group quickly spoke up, feeling a sense of urgency. "If we want to complete the survey of A Song of Ice and Fire as quickly as possible, our rocket satellites must be launched first. Therefore, our Aerospace Group must also be included in the first group."
Everyone agreed with this point. The importance of satellites was self-evident. With telemetry, communication, and reconnaissance satellites, the general situation of A Song of Ice and Fire could be quickly grasped.
Experts were also highly curious about the long summers and long nights of Westeros. They were eager to understand how the planet of A Song of Ice and Fire operated to sustain seasons lasting for several years. This peculiar seasonal phenomenon made astronomical research professors incredibly keen.
"Launching rocket satellites is necessary, but building a space city is no small project. I'm afraid that won't be constructed immediately," Professor Zhang commented thoughtfully.
"That doesn't matter," the Aerospace representative insisted. "When the time comes, we'll just have the engineering corps send more soldiers to handle the construction at the launch site. The rocket and satellite will be manufactured here in the modern world, and then Jason will transport them to A Song of Ice and Fire. That will save a significant amount of time." The Aerospace Group was unwilling to miss such an opportunity.
With the development of Western companies like Elon Musk's Space Exploration, the Aerospace Group's satellite launch business had lost a lot of market share. This had made the group quite unhappy, but they had been unable to compete and could only watch Musk profit. Now that they had the chance to develop business toward an Otherworld, the Aerospace Group was determined to get involved.
"Hey, all kinds of construction need electricity. That world is still in the Middle Ages and lacks any power facilities. We need to build power plants and hydroelectric stations first!" The representative from the electrical power grid group interjected, noting that they were unavoidable.
Not to be outdone, the representative of the nuclear power group countered, "Hydroelectric power plants and thermal power plants need carefully chosen locations and consume a lot of coal. Our nuclear power plant is far more convenient! Our seventh-generation nuclear power plant is safe and can provide sufficient power for the early development of the Otherworld."
The head of the electricity company nodded to the nuclear power group's representative. "Well, building a nuclear power plant in advance is indeed a good idea. As long as safety is ensured, construction is faster than both thermal power plants and hydroelectric plants."
The Navy representative also spoke up. "Speaking of transportation, what is more advantageous than sea transport? According to Jason, Daenerys Targaryen has landed the Unsullied and Dothraki armies on Dragonstone Island and is preparing to attack King's Landing."
