Chapter 611: Changing Situations
A peaceful night passed like this.
Just like last time, after the Death Star disappeared, an overwhelming purple aura swept over.
Four lines of huge golden characters appeared in the purple air:
"I'm determined to go my own way, not afraid of difficulties. What's the harm in the flash of the Death Star?"
"The magic is all about the waves, and the Dao is transformed into a shell."
"Sitting on the ground, I travel eighty thousand miles a day, surveying the sky and seeing a thousand rivers in the distance."
"I step on the God King and the Immortal Emperor, I want to seal the heavens and sing my own song."
The golden characters flashed by, turned into a warm jade, and flew into a magical power.
The fifth magical power [Tao If You Have Feelings] burst out with a strong light, and the four big characters "Tao If You Have Feelings" turned into pure gold, with a faint white jade light flowing.
Lin Wen was immediately delighted.
The fifth supernatural power [The Tao has feelings] is an important supernatural power after the second supernatural power [The emptiness of fate] and the third supernatural power [Half-fate cultivation of the Tao].
Currently, more than half of the combat power comes from the luck generated by the fifth magical power [Tao is like feeling].
With the strengthening of this magical power, his combat effectiveness will be further enhanced.
Lin Wen looked carefully and found that the description of [Tao Ruo You Qing] didn't seem to have changed. The previous enhancements usually told him that he could get better or a specific type of luck.
But then, Lin Wen's eyes blurred, and a new interface appeared above the magical power.
It reads in order:
Can be exchanged for luck of designated level.
In this turbid world, there are thirty thousand good connections.
In this world, there are ten thousand good connections.
Sea of suffering, three hundred thousand good karmas.
On this side, a million good karmas.
The other side is unknown.
——
On the far right of the interface, there is another line of red text, "Regular exchange, ten thousand good karmas."
Wow.
Lin Wen's eyes widened.
This is just awesome!
He can finally break free from the shackles of bad luck and can freely choose whether to gamble on luck or bet on the bottom line.
In his spare time, he can try his luck.
At the critical moment, you can directly exchange it for powerful luck, thereby achieving a Jedi comeback, which will definitely shock everyone and turn yellow-haired people into green-haired ones.
Not only that, Lin Wen can now directly see the corresponding luck level and the probability of obtaining it.
He immediately turned his attention to his current destiny.
"Fairy Flower Dew", Turbid World Level, acquisition probability 18%.
"Witch's Long Skirt", Sinking level, 52% acquisition probability, a level lower than the Turbid World level, really rubbish.
"Dragon's Roar," Mortal Level, 9% chance of obtaining. Sure enough, this is a powerful stroke of luck.
"Panlong Fruit", sinking level, 52% acquisition probability. Although the quality is not high, its effect is good.
…
Looking all the way through, most of them are about decadence and corruption. There are only a few Red Dust-level beings, no Sea of Bitterness-level beings, and not even a single This Shore-level being that can save Li Longxing.
Lin Wen took a look at the price of this shore-level luck and felt his heart suffocate.
Damn it, saving you is such a loss, Li Longxing, just stay on the golden toilet and I will use one million good karma to pull you up.
When Lin Wen was about to go back after concentrating his thoughts, suddenly another warm jade flew out from the purple air and merged into another magical power.
Is there such a good thing?
Lin Wen widened his eyes. The second Death Star was strengthened twice, right?
Even the setting poem is twice as long as before. If this is the tenth time, wouldn’t it be a long poem?
A chaotic stream of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lin Wen saw the warm jade merge into the fourth magical power [Morning Star of Destiny].
This is the magical power that was strengthened by the Death Star last time.
Fortunately, it was strengthened again, and the "Morning Star of Destiny" became even more golden and shining.
Its effect has also changed. Previously, it randomly strengthened a magical power or spell every week, but now it strengthens a specific magical power or spell, and the strengthening effect is doubled.
In an instant, Lin Wen felt a huge surge of ecstasy rushing into his heart.
Isn't this making me invincible?
In peacetime, I choose to build magical powers or spells, and in wartime, I choose combat magical powers or spells. Combined with the effect of the ninth magical power [Not Dispersing the Red Dust], I feel like I can now pin the immortals, gods, and Taoist ancestors to the ground.
Hahaha.
The eternal god of Death Star!
It is the best choice for me.
Lin Wen laughed so hard that his mouth was crooked. He could hardly walk and almost jumped back.
——
This battle brought great benefits to Changshan County.
Qin Luoshuang collected sixteen colonial primarchs from the battlefield. Changshan County now has a total of eighty-one primarchs, plus nearly two hundred royal guards. In the field of special warfare, it is already the largest among all forces except the Supreme Council.
He also obtained all the metals of the killer.
These are rare items. They were once unique colonial metals. Although they have now become rotten and riddled with holes, they are still of great research value.
Qin Luoshuang preserved them properly for research.
Perhaps, in the future we can discover the secret of metal colonization suits from them.
In addition, there is a 43-ton mass of nuclear fuel with a very low abundance of only about 1% to 3%, and more than half of it has participated in nuclear reactions.
It can be used as nuclear fuel rods for nuclear power plants.
The Changshan County Nuclear Power Plant only has one-fifth of its nuclear fuel left. With this batch of nuclear fuel, it can operate for at least another year.
It can be said to be a timely rain in the snow.
Lin Wen was a little happy, but also a little sad.
Qin Gang is so sensible and always donates the nuclear fuel that Changshan County is in short supply of free of charge, which makes it a bit difficult for him to live.
We have to find a way to return Fengchu's kindness in raising him.
After that night of life and death, his relationship with Qin Luoshuang has made a huge breakthrough.
When Lin Wen mentioned words like father, dad, and fake dad now, she no longer got angry. She would just roll her eyes at him occasionally, and sometimes when she got impatient she would say, "Dad, dad, father, is that enough? Stop it."
Lin Wen was very happy. It seemed that there was hope for a super perfect reincarnation that combined three deaths into one.
But Li Linyue seemed to have misunderstood something and always asked him to practice more. If it was Qin, she could accept it.
Lin Wen couldn't understand her train of thought, so one day he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that? Don't you mind this... uh, this of your husband?"
Li Linyue answered as a matter of course: "My first time must be perfect. My husband has no experience, so how can he give me a perfect experience? If it weren't for Qin, I would let you practice with my maid Ling, but she seems very reluctant."
Lin Wen looked at her speechlessly. He really wanted to tell her now, I won’t marry you, your best friend is so pretty, I’m fascinated by her.
But his lips trembled, and Lin Wen still couldn't say such a crazy thing. He just raised Li Linyue's big robot to a higher level in his heart.
I hope this can make up for her hurt heart in the future.
——
For most people in Changshan County, that night was just an ordinary night.
The only thing that was unusual was the strange fireworks that bloomed in the night sky west of Changshan County.
But this is just an insignificant matter. It quickly melts away in the endless daily life, leaving only a little bit of after-dinner talk, like the stains left after melting ice and snow, which soon evaporate without a trace in the sun.
However, it had a profound impact on the empire.
First of all, all the scientists in the Qin Group changed their direction, abandoned the useless old theories and embraced the new theories.
A group of scientists represented by Mr. Zhang provided a detailed report to Qin Gang, the leader of the Qin Group, claiming that the first test of the new nuclear bomb was an incomplete success.
Its nuclear reaction was incomplete and intermittent, but it was indeed the first bomb in human history that released the energy within an atom.
Mr. Li’s scientific approach is correct, but it has several flaws. As long as these flaws are improved, the real nuclear bomb will be completed.
The power of a real nuclear bomb deduced according to the latest theory is so great that it is beyond imagination and it is entirely possible to cause a crushing blow to conventional weapons.
After reading it, Qin Gang felt a little regretful.
It turns out that Mr. Li is a real great scientist. I actually thought he was a liar. I really misjudged him.
Maybe it's just like he said, science should tolerate trial and error.
I should have given him more time.
But this emotion quickly dissipated. The leader's heart had to be as solid as a rock and could not be shaken in the slightest.
Mr. Li has been poached by Changshan County. There is no point in regretting it. He can only continue along this path.
Changshan County does not have nuclear materials, so even if Mr. Li goes there, he will be powerless and will not be able to build a nuclear bomb.
Suddenly, Qin Gang had another epiphany.
No wonder Changshan County allowed Mr. Li to give a public speech.
They just want to muddy the waters. Although Changshan County doesn't have it, she can make others have it and then restrain the Qin Group.
She is worthy of being my daughter.
Qin Gang smiled.
But unfortunately, this is ultimately a futile struggle.
Let me crush your ridiculous dreams with my absolute strength. After all, this world is ruled by the strong.
You are a proud swan. No matter how you disguise yourself, you cannot fit in with the group of wild ducks.
Although he thought so, there were always some shadows and some difficult to explain doubts in Qin Gang's heart.
He deliberately ignored this point and stubbornly believed that Qin Xiao was controlling everything behind the scenes, just to prove to her father that she was right.
Just like children who have reached their rebellious stage.
"This test explosion is equivalent to declaring that I am ahead of everyone else on the road to nuclear weapons."
Qin Gang turned his thoughts to complex and cold considerations of interests, avoiding thinking about those issues.
"This is a semi-public breakup. The Great Elder and all the factions within the empire will definitely target me. I need to speed up my plans. A successful test explosion isn't necessarily a good thing..."
Qin Gang fell into a long silence.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in from the window, filling the entire office with golden light.
Qin Gang raised his head and looked at the setting sun sinking into the sea of blood in the distance.
Is this the end of the Qin Group, or a new beginning?
——
This incident had an even greater impact in the empire.
The development of nuclear weapons is an open secret among the upper echelons of the empire.
Most people consider unleashing the power within the atom to be a scientific fantasy, impossible to accomplish in our lifetime.
Therefore, the only ones actually conducting research and development are the Qin Group and the Supreme Council.
But after the successful test explosion of the Qin Group's new nuclear bomb, everyone suddenly realized that the release of atomic energy was just around the corner without them realizing it.
Although the Qin Group tried its best to keep it secret, all parties quickly determined through various clues that this was a new type of nuclear bomb.
It is based on Mr. Li's theoretical deduction that nuclear weapons are produced.
Although it is not perfect, it has taken that step.
So, all of a sudden, the nuclear physics profession throughout the empire began to shift.
Mr. Li went from being a self-sufficient scholar to the most sought-after nuclear physicist in the empire.
The No. 100 Institute receives more invitations than snowflakes every day, and there are also endless attempts to secretly contact Mr. Li to poach his talents.
Changshan County, which had always been generous, suddenly tightened its control at this time, not allowing Mr. Li to set foot outside Changshan County, nor allowing anyone to visit the No. 100 Research Institute.
While all parties in the empire accused Changshan County of being too stingy, irresponsible, and hindering the future development of mankind, they also had no doubts about the new route of nuclear weapons.
They have invested huge efforts and are conducting research along Mr. Li's path.
Among them, the Imperial Nuclear Weapons Research Institute was the most active. It resolutely abandoned the old theory that it had studied for nine years and embraced the new theory earlier than anyone else.
All of Mr. Li’s past speeches have been collected for experts and scholars to study.
They interpreted any contradictions or completely untenable statements they found in it as smokescreens released by Changshan County to Mr. Li.
Once this idea was put forward, the scientists who could not accept Mr. Li's theory suddenly became enlightened and began to frantically search for possible gold in the shit pit.
They even argued endlessly, getting red in the face, over which theories were true and which were smokescreens.
However, although Mr. Li became very popular, his public radio station in Empire and his column "Into Science" were closed.
Mr. Li could only give science programs in Changshan County in a depressed mood.
He didn't care at all about the praise from the outside world and the spies' attempts to win him over.
Mr. Li knew very well that if he continued to stay in Changshan County, he could still shine.
Once you are bewitched and lose yourself in the flattery and praise, and escape from Changshan County, that will be the beginning of disaster.
Falling from the altar and becoming disgraced is the least of your worries, but ruining someone else's fortune and leaving them without a burial place is really not fun.
Therefore, the louder the outside voices, the clearer Mr. Li's mind became. He firmly positioned himself as a worker in popularizing science, a guide who taught the public to yearn for science, and a disguiser who covered up County Mayor Lin's black technology. He never overstepped the boundaries in his identity.
Such behavior further strengthened his image as a great scientist.
As a result, Mr. Li, as a benchmark of science, was firmly engraved in the minds of Changshan County, the Empire, and even Qin Gang, the Great Elder and others.
The Great Elder even began to re-examine Lin Wen and carefully study everyone around him.
——Perhaps there are some hidden geniuses gathered around him.
In contrast, the death of Cheng Wei, the imperial elder, which would have definitely been the biggest news, did not cause any waves.
Lin Yabo was heartbroken and furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Cheng Wei was killed in a covert attack and even his body could not be found.
If you look into it carefully, it was Cheng Wei who violated the law first.
——In the empire, using forbidden special forces to attack and kill other officials is a taboo crime.
Even in the past, when things got mad, it was hard to say who was right.
And now, there is not even a splash.
The Supreme Council has become a monolithic entity, with the Grand Elder excluding the elders and taking direct charge of all affairs.
The privileges of the imperial elders were stripped away by Li Longxing. Apart from their own inherent power, it was no longer possible for them to interfere in the affairs of the empire.
The empire has been divided in essence, and only appears to be united on the surface.
But if this continues, the Great Elder will gradually erode the divisive forces and devour them all silently.
Lin Yabo repeatedly hinted to the Supreme Council that it was Changshan County that killed Cheng Wei, in order to arouse the vigilance of the Great Elder.
But the Great Elder remained indifferent, as if he had not heard anything.
Lin Yabo had no choice but to accept Cheng Wei's remaining power and property with tears.
And accelerate the Zerg plan to prepare for their future counterattack.
Time is running out. Qin Gang's successful nuclear bomb test cast a shadow on everyone's heart. Lin Yabo did not dare to guarantee that the insect army could withstand the nuclear bomb and flatten the elite troops of the Qin Group.
Not only Lin Yabo, everyone thought so.
All parties are stepping up preparations, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly tense.
This tension has already been transmitted to some extent, and some people have started hoarding supplies in various places.
In the world, major powers have also stepped up their efforts to cultivate agents within the empire, giving them stronger support, and even preparing to take action themselves.
——No one is willing to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They are ready to bite off a big piece of fat from the empire.
To this end, at this stage they even liberalized many trade methods. The empire's external sea and land transportation were restored, and the long-lost Bay Canal was put into operation. The empire's economy continued to improve and prosper.
They even allowed the imperial elder Ren Zhengqing to wantonly slaughter and plunder the weak Northern Alliance and extend his claws to the surrounding small countries.
No one spoke out. The powerful countries that once claimed to be just seemed to have become blind and turned a blind eye to Ren Zhengqing's atrocities, leaving the small countries that had endured filth and massacres and expected the world's justice and assistance extremely disappointed.
After all, it is easier to slaughter pigs when they are fattened.
As for your little bit of interests, who cares?
In this world.
Everyone is looking out for his own interests.
Cheng Wei's death was soon forgotten. Even his loyal old butler found a new job and forgot about his once powerful old master.
Even Lin Yabo no longer missed this old ally after annexing his inheritance.
Cheng Wei's death is like dust and dirt.
