Chapter 148 Secret Weapon Mysterious Military Advisor
After clearing the battlefield, the fleet docked directly at the base that the interstellar pirates had spent a lot of money to build, preparing to rest for two days before continuing their journey.
The defense work during the anchorage rest period was communicated by Melon and several other deputy commanders in charge of defense. Bai finally had some rest time in the nearly one month since the operation began.
For this month, Bai had been working tirelessly, fearing that his negligence would lead to unnecessary casualties. In fact, Bai was even more exhausted than the soldiers fighting the bandits on the battlefield.
While the soldiers could rest after defeating the bandits, Bai had to interrogate the captured bandits to determine the truth of their information. Based on the information he learned from the captured bandits, he would formulate a new plan to suppress the bandits.
In reality, Bai could have been less involved and more willing to delegate authority. However, this joint anti-bandit campaign involved considerable involvement, and with the added burden of a dragging opponent, Bai had to be doubly cautious, fearing a potential setback.
Fortunately, □□'s sea of consciousness has fully recovered, and his mental strength has even slightly improved, otherwise Bai would not have been able to survive.
It was also because of Bai's god-like command ability and energy that surprised the representatives (deputy commanders) of various countries that these countries that had previously had some objections to Bai as the commander-in-chief all shut up.
These nations finally understood that Bai was the undisputed king, both in terms of individual combat prowess and command ability. In this realm, Bai shone brightly.
Bai Hegai was full of vigor and vitality. His upright posture, handsome face and the calm wisdom in his eyes made him look extremely charming, attracting many soldiers from other countries to fall in love with him.
Bai went from being the god of war and the "idol" of the empire to becoming the "idol" of the whole world. Bai didn't feel anything about this, calmly rejecting the soldiers and generals from various countries who showed him kindness, and continued to do what he felt he should do.
Whenever Bai had time, he would secretly go to be alone with Nan Qi, explaining that he had rejected the advances of the soldiers and generals, and that he only recognized Nan Qi in this life, and that Nan Qi was the only heroic lord.
Nan Qi looked at such perfect Bai, and pride and satisfaction filled his heart.
This beautiful, strong and powerful little butterfly belongs to him and belongs to him. No living creature can sever the bond between them.
It was also because Bai would come to Nan Qi whenever he had time, and Nan Qi knew better how hard Bai had worked and how much effort he had put in during this month.
He felt sorry for Bai because he hadn't even had a full night's sleep these days. When he learned that the army would be rested after this operation, he made some of Bai's favorite food in his room, walked to the door of the command room, and waited for Bai to come out.
It turned out that he had come to the right place. He saw attachment and dependence on him in Bai's eyes.
Yes, no matter how powerful and strong Bai was, he was still mortal. He would tire, and he'd even considered giving up these responsibilities, but in the end, he kept going, determined to hold up a firmament for the insects he cared about, even if it meant being the sole pillar.
The moment Bai looked at him, Nan Qi suddenly felt a dull pain mixed with bitterness in his heart.
The pain and bitterness instantly spread throughout his body, forcing Nan Qi to step forward and hold Bai's hand. His voice was so gentle that it was almost ethereal: "Let's go home."
"Go home?" Bai did not break free from Nan Qi's hand. Even though passers-by might see him and guess that Nan Qi was a mistress, he did not want to let go of Nan Qi's hand.
Nan Qi smiled brightly, feeling the strength of Bai Hui's hand, and tightened his grip on Bai's hand before saying, "There are only two of us in our family, so as long as we are together, anywhere can be home."
Nan Qi said softly, "Bai, you are my only anchor in this world. I also hope that I can be that home that makes you feel safe and happy as long as I am by your side, and that can protect you from the wind and rain!"
"Well, home is where you are." Bai nodded affirmatively, "Go home."
*
In the room, the aroma of food drifted out through the crack of the door. Nan Qi placed a bowl of chicken soup in front of Bai:
"Drink some soup first to fill your stomach. I put ginseng in it to replenish your qi and blood. I'll stir-fry two more dishes and we can eat. By the way..."
Nan Qi turned around and said, "I went there when the battlefield was disturbed. I found that the granary of this group of thieves was extremely rich. I found several new edible ingredients. When you interrogate the prisoners of war, please ask them where they robbed them."
"Hmm." Bai blew away the hot air and took a sip of the fragrant chicken soup. He felt that the fatigue of these days was soothed by the delicious food.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Bai stretched himself, supported his chin with his hand and lazily watched Nan Qi cooking with the kitchen utensils and ingredients he brought secretly. He felt that Nan Qi was really charming, but he said it very seriously.
"The teacher has already pried open Jody's mouth, but the Insect King is getting a little impatient and has given Jody an ultimatum."
After Nan Qi captured Qiao Di, they invaded Qiao Di's star brain and contacted the Insect King in Qiao Di's tone every few days to prevent the Insect King from discovering that Qiao Di had failed. At the same time, they also learned from the Insect King his determination to win over Nan Qi.
It’s just that the Insect King was too vigilant, and apart from these, there was nothing else to gain.
Now a month is almost over, and Jodi still hasn't succeeded. The Insect King is already very dissatisfied. During this contact, the Insect King gave Jodi an ultimatum: he must bring Nan Qi back within half a month.
Nan Qi scoffed at this, still cooking. "I overestimated him. A king of a country has such low patience. Has he been in high office for so long that he's forgotten how patient he used to be?"
"Maybe it's not that he can't tolerate it, it's that I provoked him." Bai Zainan blinked when Nan Qi looked back at him, with an innocent look on his face, "You can't blame me, I didn't expect these thieves to be so..."
Bai carefully uttered a word: "Weak."
They are clearly well-equipped, have a large number of people, and appear to have undergone rigorous training, but they are unexpectedly weak.
Bai was so weak that he always felt that it was a conspiracy of the other party, trying to lure him deeper and catch them all in one fell swoop.
But it turned out not to be the case. These thieves were simply too fragile and vulnerable, and maybe they were just a little unlucky, as one of their warships even malfunctioned.
They won several battles inexplicably, which led to their extremely fast suppression of bandits and frequent reports of victory. Wouldn't the Insect King be angry?
However, there was more than just this one thing that made the Insect King angry.
During this period, another thing happened that made the Insect King furious. Sli and Slang had been following Bai for so many days, and from time to time one of them was sent out to follow the mobile forces to participate in the bandit suppression battle. Finally, they were discovered by some scheming insects, and the news was passed back to the central star and reached the ears of the Insect King.
The Insect King exploded immediately and scolded the scientists and researchers of the Imperial Research Institute, demanding that they must find out how the bombs on the two test subjects were removed and why the test subjects without the promote02 potion were still alive.
If it weren't for the fact that these insects in the research institute were still useful, and this matter couldn't be made public, the Insect King would probably have killed all these researchers in a fit of rage.
The above is what Marshal Ai You told Bai.
Ai You smiled and said, "Those useless people at the research institute still wanted to make a fuss about Sli and Slang's identities to bring them back, but unfortunately they have already lost the opportunity. Sli and Slang are already legal citizens of the empire, and they are also military women who have made frequent contributions in suppressing bandits."
Then, the Insect King was furious when he learned about this. Not only did he cut the funding for the Imperial Research Institute, he also demoted the director Conrad Green and forced him to step down from his position.
So, it's no wonder the Insect Emperor lost his temper. The successive defeats had made the Insect Emperor, who had been the most powerful figure in the empire for years, feel provoked, and he was anxious.
Bai Dao: "Ever since Sli and Slang's identities were 'exposed', I've noticed that those guys have been acting more frequently, and they're still thinking I don't know."
Bai's voice grew colder as he spoke. "These traitors are truly disgusting. If they weren't still useful and could 'pass' some information I wanted to the Insect Emperor, I would have dealt with them long ago."
Nan Qi placed the freshly cooked sweet potato in front of Bai and stroked his hair. "Don't be angry, eat first. This dish won't taste good when it's cold. While you're eating, tell me what useful information the teacher got from Qiao Di."
Bai looked at the sweet-smelling dish in front of him, picked up a piece tentatively, and was slightly surprised when he found that he could pull out long threads before putting it in his mouth.
As soon as he took a bite, he felt the unique soft texture of sweet potato after the crispy shell was crushed. Then the crispy burnt shell touched the tip of his tongue. The sweet taste of the melted sugar exploded in his mouth. Bai squinted his eyes happily before he slowly spoke.
"Teacher pried the truth out of him about his physical relationship with the Insect Emperor, and also learned that the Insect Emperor has a secret military advisor behind him. The Insect Emperor seems to trust this advisor quite a bit, but this advisor doesn't seem to pay much attention to him and doesn't always give him advice. I've asked Teacher to investigate."
"Military advisor? It's interesting that he doesn't always give advice." Nan Qi smiled. "It seems that the military advisor doesn't like to pay attention to him recently, so he has become irritable and brainless."
white:"……"
Nan Qi: "Go on, is there anything else?"
"Yes," Bai nodded. "Remember the Seven-Colored Stone? Didn't we previously speculate that the Seven-Colored Stone must be found deep within the mines that produce high-grade crystal stones? It's true. The Insect King fully understands the uses of the Seven-Colored Stone, so he's not afraid of the mine running out. After all, with the Seven-Colored Stone, the energy mine can be regenerated."
"However, he mentioned that the energy within the Seven-Colored Stone will run out. A ten-kilogram Seven-Colored Stone can produce approximately ten thousand kilograms of intermediate energy crystals and fifty thousand kilograms of low-level energy crystals. If you want to extend the lifespan of the Seven-Colored Stone, you need to replenish its energy with high-level energy crystals."
"Now that you mention it, I have an idea." Nan Qi touched his chin, "Do you think these energy crystals are all associated minerals with the seven-colored stones? Do you remember where the associated minerals of the black crystals came from?"
"I remember that after we obtained the Colorful Stone, we used it to illuminate the low-level Black Crystal. The purity of the Black Crystal increased, and accompanying minerals were produced..." Bai suddenly paused, his eyes widening. "Are you saying that the energy crystal is actually formed from the impurities inside the Colorful Stone? That's too exaggerated."
Nan Qi: "It's just a guess. The question of how high-level crystals and colorful stones complement each other has not been solved yet, so my guess is not valid. But I do have another question."
Bai Zheng opened his Star Brain to record Nan Qi's conjecture. When he heard Nan Qi had a question, he looked up at him and asked, "What's the question?"
Nan Qi pondered for a moment and said, "You said the Insect Emperor has so many colorful stones in his private vault. He also knows the uses of the colorful stones, so he must know that the colorful stones are a polymer of radioactive energy. So, has he used the colorful stones to create something we don't know about, such as a secret weapon?"
