Chapter 260: A Stroke of Cinnabar Decides the Destiny
Cost--1000 star coins!
What are we fighting for? It’s consumption, it’s supplies, it’s supply chain!
A 50,000 peak light energy cannon or spider bullet would cost at least 100,000!
You're going to give me 1,000 star coins now?!
What kind of scene would it be if this thing was used to blast the Zerg!
Think about it another way, if it falls into the hands of other countries...
There's an even more terrifying problem: it took less than a month from the military placing the order to the goods arriving...
The output is simply terrifying! It’s terrifying when you think about it!
"This month, the institute has invested a lot of energy in research, but has not found the right method."
"It's really just a piece of paper with some words on it. There's no hidden energy device."
"We have reason to suspect that this thing is based on a completely new energy system."
“!!!!”
The equipment is more complex and the attack is stronger, which can be said to be a quantitative change.
But the brand-new energy system is a real qualitative change.
The bosses were silent for a long, long time.
"Go on."
"In the data of the ancient Earth, a square inch of yellow paper contains the universe, and a stroke of cinnabar determines the fate of the world."
"Talismans originated from Taoism and are one of the five arts of geomancy, medicine, fortune-telling, physiognomy, and divination..."
????
"Wait, what kind of subject is this?"
The more the bosses listened, the more mysterious it became. They never thought they would hear these things in such an important meeting.
"This is not science, it's metaphysics."
“…”
It sounds outrageous, but that's the conclusion.
When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how implausible, is the truth.
"Including the Spirit Purifying Liquid. We're beginning to suspect that it's more than just a product of science."
Cole, the equipment department and the research institute team were all very confident, and their serious expressions clearly told everyone present that they were not joking.
"Seriously?"
"We found some high-frequency energy in the Purifying Liquid. Initially, we thought it was just a more potent version of the Purifying Liquid, but after multiple experiments, we discovered that the principles behind the two seem to be completely different..."
"The same energy is also present in the talisman paper..."
Actually, Cole has some clues.
For example - Xue Lingling.
But fortunately, the other party’s prescription has similar logic to pharmacy.
Simply put, it is a mix of pharmacy and alchemy.
Otherwise, she would be the prime suspect.
For example, the beast taming technique...
All the mystery seemed to surround the people from the 18th Military Academy.
"Any other evidence?"
"There's no evidence, but there are some directions."
"Okay, check it out first. If another energy system really has appeared in the Federation, it will definitely not be a trivial matter."
Even if this force appears to be friendly at present, the federal top leaders should have a clear understanding of it and be prepared to deal with it.
"Master, what do you think of my design?"
Shi An's eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at the drawings on the screen, which had the same style but different designs.
"The style is very Xuanqingzong!"
Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of the Red River, there is Zhangwei Mountain. There lives a red deity with a human face and a snake body.
"Fire mecha, Zhu Jiuyin, Zhu Long!
"Xihe, the sun god representing light; Zixiao, the thunder god; Fuxi, Jumang, the wood god; Qingnv, Xuanming, the ice god; Feilian, the wind god..."
"There's always one of the Gods series mechas that suits you!"
There is also Shi An’s simple humanoid mecha, Nuwa.
"Mine too?!"
Gu Zhanting has only been here for two months, and Sun Qianyu has even considered him.
He stared at the Xihe with burning eyes.
"We have everything. Now we have enough money and materials. We just need one more thing!"
"You want Zerg materials?"
"Yes, bugs have the strongest hardness, corrosion resistance, and durability."
"Where can I find Zerg materials?"
"Some underground channels can buy a small amount, but with so many mechas, it's not enough."
"What about the no-man's land or... the occupied area?"
Everyone looked at Gu Han.
“…”
"Are you serious?"
Li Yuanbo looked at the other person's expression, which didn't look like he was joking at all.
The Federation has thirteen occupied areas, which contain a large number of Zerg nests, some of which are even still active.
But why not just clean it up?
Do you think the federal government doesn't want to?
No, it’s impossible to clean it up completely.
The occupied area is already on a channel with frequent jumps. After one wave is defeated, another wave comes.
There may still be many survivors and stationed soldiers inside, so it is impossible to destroy a planet directly.
The final solution is to close the jump point and temporarily isolate the thirteen occupied areas.
Wait until the federation has the ability, and then defeat them one by one.
As a result, many years passed while we waited.
The Zerg can't get out and the reinforcements can't get in, so the survivors inside can only leave it to fate.
This is not only a source of worry for Gu Han, but also a painful memory for the entire federation.
The thirteen pearls that once shone brightly in the interstellar space now appear dim on the federal map.
"I don't agree!"
This was the first time that Li Yuanbo firmly opposed Gu Han's opinion.
"That's an occupied area. It's been so many years. Do you know how many Zerg there are? There might not be a single one left alive! Even the Federation dares not act rashly even with its assembled forces. There are only 15 of us..."
At the beginning, he was extremely emotional and planned to fight hard and make direct criticism at the risk of his life.
But halfway through the words, the voice became smaller and smaller.
Yes, these people are practicing Taoism!
"Master, is this okay?"
Before Shi An could say anything, Su Ziang rushed to speak.
"Sure, why not? We've fought the Zerg before."
There are thousands of them, so it is easy for Master to clean them up by himself.
Although the queen was injured, it seems that even at her peak strength, she would not pose any threat.
To gain experience, you need to make it a little more difficult.
"Huh? When did it happen?"
"Sphinx..."
"Shit, that's you guys?"
"Yes, I was just building my foundation then, so it's not a big problem now."
Li Yuanbo looked at the group of people who were ready to fight.
Even the new cook and nephew looked excited.
I can’t stop it, I really can’t stop it.
"Really want to go?"
"go!"
"Then let's get ready. Junior brother, you pick the place."
"good."
Gu Han spent several days preparing to find the target planet.
"Selene, the smallest of the thirteen occupied territories of the Federation!"
He pointed to a gray-blue planet on the Federation border on the screen and said.
The first time he heard the name, Li Yuanbo was stunned.
"Why don't we check out the uninhabited areas first? There are suspected traces of Zerg in all 27 uninhabited areas. Why don't we go and practice first?!"
After much deliberation, I ended up with a hell of a game!
Selene! The first occupied area of the Federation.
The Zerg invaded the first planet of the Federation and fought tens of thousands of battles of varying sizes over the decades.
Countless loyal souls are buried here, it is a veritable death planet!
"It's pointless if it's suspected. If it's not, it's a wasted trip."
Gu Han continued.
"Selene is about half the size of 9527, but its location is extremely crucial. It's like a hole in the entire Federation map, located at the intersection of various channels and the Outer Realm. It has a very dense number of jump points, and therefore, it was the first planet invaded and conquered by the Zerg."
"The military spent a lot of effort and finally closed more than a dozen surrounding jump points and sealed off Selene."
"In the last battle, we lost three regiments..."
