Chapter 385: Confession (Part 3)

Lin Wen took the phone and took a look at it, then he remembered that this was the phone that the national pillar Li Yongsheng had given him.

There is only one number on it, which is the number of the first princess.

The default number on the phone that Qin Luoshuang gave him was also hers, and Lin Wen had become accustomed to taking it out and dialing it directly.

Unexpectedly, I took the wrong number and dialed it to the princess.

Lin Wen and Li Linyue had only met once. He had heard many rumors about her and often used her as a shield, but this was the first time he heard her voice and spoke to her.

The princess' voice was light and sweet, and even after being transcribed electromagnetically, it remained unchanged. However, Lin Wen did not pay attention to it and directly opened his seven orifices of the heart.

Heart: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

…

Before shutting off the Seven Apertures Heart, the last words Lin Wen heard were: "Remember this, if it happens again, I will definitely punish you."

"It's very heavy."

Then the phone was hung up.

Heart, what have you done?

The Seven-Aperture Heart remained silent and did not answer, because Lin Wen had already turned it off.

beep--

"Hello."

This time it was finally Qin Luoshuang's voice.

"Hey, I've beaten your dad to pieces."

"...Can you speak properly?"

"The Qin Group suffered a crushing defeat, and the Tiancangjing Plain has been taken over by me."

"Great." A voice on the other end of the line let out a deep breath. "I was actually prepared for your defeat... but I didn't expect you to disappoint me. How did you manage to win?"

"Well... the Dragon Group returned from the Black Sea. They drove the Empire's newest weapon, the Gundam F91, to support the battle and achieve victory. Actually, they were almost defeated. Yu Bozheng and the others were no match for the Qin Group."

"...Can you explain what the Gundam F91 is?"

"It's a big fireball that can continuously erupt small fireballs."

“…”

Qin Luoshuang obviously couldn't imagine the image described by Lin Wen.

"Lin Wen, how many cards do you have left? Can you tell me? That way I can coordinate our forces and formulate a war plan."

Lin Wen scratched his head. It was not that he was unwilling to say it, but his fighting ability fluctuated greatly. It all depended on how much of his soul was left and whether he had good luck.

It also depends on the situation present and the spells used to determine what kind of weapons the empire has invented.

It is impossible to invent the Empire's new weapons before the battle, otherwise a group of enemies would appear here today. Qin Luoshuang said: "Oh, I'm in a bit of trouble. You can use a Winter Wind-41 to blow them up."

Or: "Hurry up and drive the Gundam to stop the enemy on the western front. Victory is at hand."

But at that time, Lin Wen had no soul, no luck, or could not get away. Wouldn't that be a loss of opportunity?

So Lin Wen basically writes things on the fly and never tells them in advance.

But what excuse now?

While Lin Wen was deep in thought, Qin Luoshuang spoke on the phone.

"...Forget it. I didn't expect you still don't trust me now."

Her voice was slightly deep, and contained some deep disappointment.

not good.

Lin Wen was keenly aware that he and Feng Chu had a crisis of trust.

But he really didn't know how to explain it.

If she told him everything, although he wouldn't care much, it would greatly and seriously affect her way of thinking as a second-generation mother.

After all, this is still the physical world, and only he can cultivate immortality.

Fairy Qin is just a compliment.

Lin Wen couldn't be sure whether good and evil would cross the line, but he knew that if he resigned as county governor, it would take at least a year to get rid of the connection.

In other words, if he didn't want the bad karma to come back to him, he had to at least ensure that Changshan County would be safe within one year after his reincarnation.

Qin Luoshuang cannot be contaminated by him.

Lin Wen must be a pioneer of science, and all his methods are scientific methods.

Science is the primary productive force. This is the creed of Changshan County. We must never engage in anything superstitious.

So, we must find a solution now.

The Seven-Aperture Heart won't work. Qin Luoshuang is already immune to it, and opening it rashly will only add to her disgust.

Then... I can only ask for guidance from the [immortal].

Lin Wen glanced at his dwindling soul and decided to use [Lin Wen's special sentence structure] to ask questions to reduce consumption.

If I say, "I'll show you my front side too," will that resolve the trust crisis between me and Feng Chu?

Consumption: 5% (actual consumption after halving)

Answer:

【no】

Grass.

Try again.

If I say, "Let's formally apply for a paternity certificate and household registration," will that resolve the trust crisis between Fengchu and me?

Cost: 5%

Answer:

【no】

Can I get a refund?

If I say, "I'll hand over the Dragon Group to your command," will that resolve the trust crisis between me and Feng Chu?

Cost: 5%

Damn, if you keep saying no, I'm going to go over and kick the balls of the guy who invented this spell.

【OK】

Lin Wen smiled. Sure enough, the emperor's words still carried weight.

Before the topic expired, Lin Wen immediately said, "I'll hand over the entire Dragon Group to you when we get back."

Qin Luoshuang sounded very surprised. Lin Wen had almost delegated all of his real power, and the Dragon Group was the last armed force he held.

If he handed over the Dragon Group, he would be left alone.

"Lin Wen, you...you don't have to be like this. I just hope you can be a little more frank. Every time you make up an excuse, it sounds fake, you know? It's like you're just trying to fool me..."

"That's all right."

Lin Wen said dignifiedly, "I leave it to you when I say so. No one in the world trusts you more than I do. No matter what you do in the future, you must remember that there is someone behind you who trusts you unconditionally."

Qin Luoshuang was slightly moved and said softly, "Lin Wen, I, I actually..."

Lin Wen smiled and said, "The relationship between father and daughter is actually very normal..."

I knew it!

Qin Luoshuang was furious.

But she really couldn't learn Lin Wen's tricks, so she could only express her anger by hanging up the phone.

Lin Wen didn't care, as long as there was no gap between them.

Once the Tiancangjing Plain is opened up, we can continue to advance.

Next, they will enter Chuanluo County, quickly complete the sweep of the demons, eliminate all the remnants of Shizhou, and join forces with the resistance to attack the enemies in Chuanluo County.

It had nothing to do with him until he met the regular army of Qin Group again.

After fighting in Shizhou for so long, Lin Wen decided to go back, count the harvest, prepare for the next plan, and inspect the preparations for the Nasdaq Grain Exchange.

There are only two days left for this week's settlement, so I'll do a quick reorganization of my internal affairs to see if I can make any improvements.

There were actually fewer good fortunes last week, which made Lin Wen very unhappy.

——

Qin Group.

The large conference room was silent. All the generals, confidants, and experts gathered together. The projection on the wall was showing the scene of the huge fireball ravaging the battlefield.

Even though this was the fifth time it was played, everyone was still watching intently.

Until finally the fireball broke into the position, destroyed one-third of the cannons, and then turned into countless bursts of flames and disappeared on the screen.

Due to accuracy issues, they could not clearly see the subtle human-shaped shadow left behind after the fireball disappeared.

The projector went dark, leaving only a blank screen.

Wang Zijun asked, "Mr. Fei, tell me, what kind of new weapon is this?"

Fermi frowned. "It's a bit like ball lightning, but its behavior is so regular, especially its ability to withstand direct bombardment. I find it hard to understand how an object in the form of pure energy can achieve this."

Another expert asked, "What if the flame is just its external form, and there is something substantial inside?"

Fermi shook his head slightly. "That's even harder to understand. Unless they have a completely new material that's both extremely hard and has a very high melting point, and they also have to master nuclear fusion technology to provide energy."

"Nuclear fusion?" someone asked, "Does it have anything to do with our nuclear weapons?"

"We are fission." An expert replied.

"Is there a difference? Whose power is greater?"

Cao Daman, who was using a communicator to make his presence known, shouted, "It must be our power that's greater. How powerful is it when they're split apart? When we gather together, it doesn't sound that powerful."

Fermi shook his head. "Fusion should be much more powerful, but it will take at least fifty years before we can harness the energy produced in this way."

Qin Gang knocked on the table. "We'll discuss the technical issues later. Right now, we just need to know two things: first, where did it come from? Second, how do we deal with it?"

"I can answer the second question."

Chief military weapons expert Fermi stood up as expected.

He rewound the projector and froze the image at the moment when the fireball was first captured.

"It's actually very simple. Anyone can see that its primary energy source is fire, and all of its attacks are also fire. It's highly resistant to strong physical attacks and isn't very afraid of explosions. But we can attack it with missiles that crash into liquid nitrogen or dry ice. It's slow and extremely hot, so using infrared guidance is very easy. Once it hits, its energy will be greatly reduced."

Fermi paused and continued, "Actually, I suggest that the same approach be applied to the 'Empire' interceptor missile. Remove the expensive combat components and use cheaper liquid nitrogen and dry ice instead. All guidance should be thermal. After special adjustments, it can intercept the DF-31, while also significantly reducing costs."

Qin Gang nodded: "How long will the modification take?"

Fermi said, "Three days."

"Then avoid the battle for three days. After three days, gather all the vassal troops and go to war with Changshan County."

"Yes." All the generals answered in unison.

Qin Gang asked again, "Zijun, can you guess where it came from? I don't think it's something the Imperial sect would have."

Prince Jun was silent for a moment, then said, "Lin Wen has so many strange weapons. Changshan County's technology is simply unbelievable. I suggest that we submit all the intelligence we've collected to the Supreme Council for investigation."

There was a sound of gasps in the venue.

"The Chief of Staff is really good at this."

"This is to alienate the relationship between the Supreme Council and the Imperial Faction."

Prince Jun stopped the meaningless flattery and said, "It's not certain yet. The Great Elder's thoughts are hard to guess, and I'm not sure either."

Qin Gang nodded: "Let's do it."

"yes."

"Also, we're about to conduct our first nuclear weapon test. Have you chosen a location?"

Everyone's expressions turned serious and they looked at Fermi.

Fermi hesitated for a moment and said, "There are several alternative locations, but we haven't decided yet."

"We need to hurry, otherwise our plans will be out of sync."

"yes."

"Tang Guodao, how is the Supreme Military Headquarters doing now?"

A bald middle-aged man bowed and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the military believes we are still separating uranium."

"What about the Supreme Council?"

"The information we gave the Great Elder is that we are still experimenting with the bomb's structure. The people in the Supreme Council are blinded by our large weapons factory and are unaware of our true progress."

"Very good, everything will be as quick as possible."

Qin Gang stood up from his seat. The fiery red sunset shone in through the window, illuminating his serious face and straight military uniform as if they were on fire.

"When the New Qin Empire was established, you were all founding fathers."

"Yes, Commander!"

Only Cao Damang shouted from the communicator: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

——

Shizhou Governor's Office.

Ever since Zhang Shuangcheng rejected the United Group's request, he has actually been sidelined, and now it is Song Ziyuan who actually performs the duties of governor.

However, Zhang Shuangcheng also has another power - the command of local troops.

Since he was a military commander in his early years, he enjoyed great prestige in the local army of Shizhou.

For the sake of political stability, those people did not dare to take away his command for the time being.

Even though the command power has basically been divided among Li Xueyou and his men from the southwest region.

Zhang Shuangcheng was in a very depressed mood. He knew that when the real governor of Shizhou was decided, he would no longer have a place in Shizhou.

Maybe it's time to go back home.

No longer care about the dirty and complicated political affairs, choose a quiet piece of land, where no one will disturb you, and live a peaceful and indifferent life every day with your wife and children, facing the rising sun and watching the sunset.

Maybe, that's not bad.

Until he received a communication from the First Princess.

"……good."

After struggling for a long time, Zhang Shuangcheng gritted his teeth and agreed.

Even though it was dangerous, even though it was a complete gamble, he decided to do it.

This is for Shizhou, for himself, and for everyone.
