In the 6266th year of the lunar calendar, Curtis Island

Curtis Island was once a scenic tourist destination with a small country with a population of hundreds of thousands. It was peaceful and wealthy, and could make a lot of money from the tourism industry.

Now it has become one of the habitats of monsters. Only the cement frames of the former buildings are left. Perhaps in a few years, there will be no traces of human life.

Lin Jiang and Cao Ying came to Curtis Island, stood on the highest point of the island, and looked at the entire island.

"The big sand sculpture is still inexperienced and does not understand the routines of the rivers and lakes. The demon queen has been tricked by a lot of information."

"It's okay, the big sand sculpture doesn't know how many secrets it has."

Lin Jiang said lightly. The big sand sculpture was a guest at the demon queen Lin Fanghua for two months before returning. It is estimated that everything the big sand sculpture knows has been tricked.

However, Lin Jiang and his friends originally kept the big sand sculpture as a pet. It doesn't know many secrets. It doesn't matter if the little things in its mind are tricked by the demon queen.

"No wonder you didn't let the little idiot go."

"I didn't think too much about it. I just didn't want to embarrass the little idiot."

"You can't use the moral feelings of the human race to apply to the situation of the demon race, and the little idiot has already chosen you."

"It is precisely because he chose me that I don't want to embarrass it. Well, let's not talk about this. The demon queen is here."

Lin Jiang shook his head. There was not much point in discussing this issue. The little idiot chose Lin Jiang, so Lin Jiang would naturally not embarrass the little idiot. He had to consider his brother.

The demon queen soon appeared, transformed into a human form, and stood in front of Lin Jiang and Cao Ying.

"I'm here. What do you want to say?"

"Fanghua, I came here with sincerity, didn't I? Otherwise, I would have sent a large army to capture you alive for interrogation. Don't be so hostile to me."

"Hehe." "

What did Fengjiu tell you? He said that becoming an immortal was a scam since ancient times. What does he mean?"

"I don't know. Fengjiu didn't tell me."

"Fanghua, if what Fengjiu said is true, then we have common interests. You are at the seventh level, which is equivalent to the human race's He Dao. The next level is to transcend tribulation. After transcending tribulation, it is the Mahayana ascension. It is related to our common interests."

Lin Jiang couldn't help but say. If they became immortals, many people would have to cut off their seven emotions and six desires. The human race to Lin Jiang, the monster race to the monster queen, might not be so important.

"Although you and I are enemies, I agree with what you said. However, I really don't know. That day, I fell from space and entered a place similar to a space gap. Fengjiu just said a few words to me and left."

"Really?"

"This queen disdains to lie,"

the demon queen said coldly. Lin Jiang frowned. Looking at Lin Fanghua, it doesn't seem like she is lying. What should I do?

"Uncle, let me do it. You go play on the side."

Cao Ying saw this and said to Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang nodded and walked aside consciously.

Cao Ying and Lin Fanghua have advantages in chatting. Not only are they both female, but they are also both in the same realm of Hedao cultivation. They will have a lot of common topics.

Lin Jiang strolled aside, looking at the endless sea, and fell into deep thought. If they can't guess Fengjiu's intentions now, then someone has to practice it. Someone really steps into the tribulation period to comprehend, then who should this person be?

Three hours later, the Demon Queen flew away. Lin Jiang walked to Cao Ying and asked, "How was the chat?"

"It was good."

"Did Fanghua provide any useful clues?" "

What Fengjiu said to her was similar to what we said. There was nothing valuable. However, the Demon Queen is Fengjiu's wife and the current king of the demon clan. Fengjiu can sacrifice herself for the demon clan. It can almost be concluded that Fengjiu did not lie and was not bluffing us."

"I would rather Fengjiu lied to us, so that we can do things without hesitation. Now it's like this, I'm uncomfortable with the situation."

"That's right, but it has happened, there's nothing we can do."

"What to do next, I'm at a loss,"

Lin Jiang said. Now it's time to make up his mind again. Lin Jiang didn't dare to make a wrong move, otherwise he might be doomed.

"I have already hinted to the Demon Queen that humans will not exterminate the demons, at least not in the short term. The demons should also stop starting a war and should maintain the current situation and wait for changes in the situation."

"You..."

"This is the best way at the moment. It can be used for both offense and defense, and for both advances and retreats."

"You're right, this is a good idea."

Lin Jiang thought about it carefully. This was a good idea. It was impossible to cooperate openly with the demons. The public opinion would not agree, and there was no trust between the two sides. Lin Jiang was also unwilling to exterminate the demons. He was worried about what Feng Jiu would say.

········

Back in Harbor City, Lin Jiang stepped up the arrangements for the development of Penglai Island. China naturally accounted for the majority. Several large consortiums under Lin Jiang's name had already set out. They recruited a large number of immortal cultivators and took countless mosses to Penglai Island to spread seeds everywhere and clean up the monsters.

The nuclear radiation in a small part of Penglai Island is relatively low. Mortals may still be affected, but there is no problem for immortal cultivators. They can be developed step by step. After arranging

things, Lin Jiang went to see Cao Wang again and said to him directly, "I will give you a long-term task to find alien civilizations, or to find new planets suitable for survival."

"Ancestor Lin, hasn't this been established for a long time?"

"Yes, now that it is brought up again, I will increase investment and you will be responsible for this matter. I will give you any resources you want, and I will also give you funds if you want."

"That's no problem,"

Cao Wang said. With funds and policies, what is there to be afraid of? Just do it.

"How long do you think it will take

to get out of the solar system?" "It's not difficult to get out of the solar system. The current second-generation space carrier can do it. The third generation that is still under development can go back and forth. But it is too difficult to find a suitable planet for habitation outside the solar system. The habitable planets observed by current science are all theoretical. The nearest one is about eight light-years away. Does Ancestor Lin know what eight light-years means?"

"Eight years at the speed of light, I know."

"Yes, under standard atmospheric pressure, the speed of light is 882,353 times the speed of sound. The design speed limit of the third-generation space carrier is Mach 350. At this speed, a distance of eight light-years will take more than 10,000 years to fly. Even if the gravity of celestial bodies is utilized, it will not be less than 10,000 years. It may not be enough even if we use up all our energy."

"What about the concept of black holes and space jumps?"

"The mass of a black hole is too large. When passing through a black hole, the space carrier will be squeezed into a piece of paper. The energy required for space jumps now is not cost-effective. Jumping a distance of 10,000 kilometers consumes more energy than flying a distance of 10,000 kilometers. It still won't work."

"On the basis of the original, I will allocate you another 300 billion Chinese yuan every year, and you will be responsible for this matter."

Lin Jiang immediately decided to increase the investment figure. It was too slow, and the scientific development was too slow. It had to be accelerated.

"Ancestor Lin, in this way, the investment in this project will exceed one trillion yuan every year, which will have a great impact. Is this really okay?"

"People should have some goals. I already find it boring to do this on this planet. In the next stage, I plan to play with the universe and space."

Lin Jiang said lightly. The next war with the demon clan will be at a low intensity, and the military expenditure will be reduced a lot in the future. Lin Jiang decided to invest all the expenditure in this area into the space project.

There are some things that Lin Jiang has not figured out yet, but Lin Jiang has already thought of a solution. Feng Jiu said that becoming an immortal is a scam since ancient times. Whether it is the immortals or the heavens, as long as they leave this planet, there may be a solution, so Lin Jiang will invest heavily.

"Ancestor Lin has great ambitions. If that's the case, I will risk my life to accompany you. I will probably be able to break through to the Return to Void realm in another twenty years. After that, I will have thousands of years of extra lifespan. I will then play with Ancestor Lin."

Cao Wang immediately expressed that cultivating immortals no longer interested him much. He was not as interested in scientific research as he was in cultivation. He was more interested in increasing his lifespan after a breakthrough in cultivation, because this would give him more time to do academic research.

"Okay, I won't treat you unfairly. After returning to the Void realm, I can't guarantee that you can break through to the Hedao realm, but there are still some good things in my spiritual medicine garden. It will be no problem to add another thousand or eight hundred years of lifespan to you. In addition, I will satisfy you with any material enjoyment you want,"

Lin Jiang said. Cao Wang had also eaten treasures that extended his lifespan when he was cultivating immortals, but Lin Jiang had something better.

"Material enjoyment is too vulgar and low-level. It's better for me to learn more about other fields. I want to become your apprentice to several other technology giants."

"You can choose. I will personally show up. You will be the first vice president of the Psychic Energy Research Institute. No other project will have a higher priority than you. How about it?"

"Thank you, Ancestor Lin."

"Do your job well."

Lin Jiang nodded. He left when the conversation was almost over. He didn't go to other places in the Psychic Energy Research Institute because Lin Jiang had no money to invest in them. Now he wanted to bet heavily on space technology.
