Seeing Wang Zheng nod in agreement to the Elemental Beetle, which meant he had accepted Yunnan's goodwill, Xu Zhihong breathed a sigh of relief.
He learned from the research institute of the Chuncheng Military Region that the progress of the experiment on the Sacred Beetle Spirit Crystal in the capital was not ideal, and guessed that the government would soon come looking for Wang Zheng.
That's why he came to Jingnan ahead of time, before the New Year was even over.
Although Yunnan won't be able to properly celebrate the Spring Festival this year either.
But his main purpose in coming here was to facilitate cooperation with Wang Zheng on the development of this "spiritual grenade".
He had no choice but to come. People in Yunnan aren't stupid. Everything else can be delayed, but if this so-called "spiritual energy grenade" really produces results, then this strange beast will be nothing but a fart in the future.
If the people in Beijing get there first and develop the results, then Yunnan will have no choice but to keep submitting applications and waiting for approval.
If it really comes to that, then it would be better to just come to Jingnan and directly ask Wang Zheng for cooperation, even if in the end you can only get a small share.
That's better than getting nothing at all.
How much productivity does one person have? Nobody can guarantee that. Rather than pitifully waiting for the capital to assign them a job, it's better to get it done in one go and build a good relationship with Wang Zheng beforehand.
Others may not know, but Old Xu had personally witnessed the terror of those black flames.
Will such special abilities emerge again in the vast population of China in the future? Xu Zhihong couldn't guarantee it, but even if they could, Yunnan at least doesn't have them right now.
That's a matter for the future. Right now, this incredible benefit is practically handed to me. If I don't even know how to take a bite, I might as well give up being a military leader and go back home to farm.
Moreover, he had already figured it out: Wang Zheng treated Chu Tianxing from Jingnan like his own grandfather, and he also learned from the Jingnan Military Region that Wang Zheng had no intention of leaving Jingnan to develop in the capital.
That means that even if this spirit energy grenade is to be developed in the future, it must be developed in southern Beijing.
Even if the capital wants a share of the pie, they'll have to send people to Jingnan to cooperate. There's no way around it; this kid is the only one with that kind of fire ability right now.
He had heard that, in addition to the Yunnan-Yunnan Military Region, even the capital city had received the scarabs sent by Yunnan.
Most of the experts in fire, lightning, and even other elemental types have tried using that little bug, and none of them have found it reliable.
It's not that no one has succeeded; I've heard that several grandmasters have personally tried and successfully changed the form of the spiritual energy crystal. However, the power...
It would be disrespectful to the title of Grandmaster to say it out loud.
As for how Xu Zhihong learned of this news, wasn't the capital waiting for Yunnan to send the mature scarabs? Such a big operation couldn't be kept secret.
...
If Wang Zheng knew that these research institutes were planning to abandon their own independent experiments, he would definitely be even more disdainful.
Not to mention how many awakened beings have enough spiritual power to allow the scarabs to absorb enough elements to reach their limit and thus change their spiritual energy crystal structure.
Even if it were possible, its power would be greatly reduced.
Even a fool would know that the power of a candle flame is not the same as that of a regular fire element. The answer is obvious.
Even if they can successfully put it into practice, and there is no need to suppress it for easy preservation, the power is still there. After all, it is just a low-grade third-rank spiritual energy crystal. How much power do you expect it to unleash?
Instead of wasting so much spiritual energy going in such a big circle, wouldn't it be better to just throw a fireball at them?
The reason why Wang Zheng's "spiritual energy grenade" is so powerful is because it contains candle flames.
The spirit crystal in his hand does not rely on the burst of spiritual energy within the crystal to cause damage, so even with only a small amount of spiritual energy as a medium, it can still cause sufficient damage.
After all, the terrifyingly high temperature that can burn anything and the indestructible burning properties are the most important factors that make the "spiritual energy grenade" so powerful.
This is precisely why Wang Zheng completely disregarded the fact that the country was abandoning him to conduct research on his own, because it simply had no practical application.
Unless they can find a second elemental ability with special effects.
However, so far, among all the awakened individuals that Wang Zheng has met, it seems that only he and Chu Tianxing have such abilities.
Old Man Chu's white lightning was due to the effect of Kang Jinlong, which imbued it with the murderous aura of metal, making it much more powerful than ordinary lightning strikes, and the injuries sustained were not easily healed.
Even so, if he were to suppress his attacks to the point where he could only unleash the spiritual energy contained within the third-grade spirit crystal, he could at most injure a fourth-grade beast.
Compared to the power of the candle flame, this is nothing; they are incomparable.
As for the others, Wang Zheng believes that with the national population base here, there will definitely be similar awakened individuals.
However, Wang Zheng certainly didn't believe that there could be anything more powerful than his Candle Flame.
After all, this [Nine Yin Candlelight] is the fire essence of the ancient god Zhulong. If it can be surpassed by ordinary elements, then the name of this ancient god is truly meaningless.
At this point, regardless of the research results in the capital, Wang Zheng no longer intended to worry about it. In any case, he wouldn't lose anything whether it succeeded or failed, so he decided to wait until the government personnel arrived before making any decisions.
In any case, Wang Zheng only hoped that the gentlemen from the capital would be more considerate. He had no other requests; he would be satisfied as long as he could get something useful for the old man's injuries.
