Due to some reasons, the technological development of the empire is very abnormal. Some high technologies, including nuclear weapons, are all in the hands of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Academy of Sciences is completely in the hands of the emperor.

Nine years of compulsory education? There is education but no obligation. Common people have to pay a high price to go to school.

Higher education exists, but only nobles are eligible to study it, and all subjects involving high-tech technology have been emasculated.

For various popular technological products, the people of the empire only knew how to use them, but did not understand the principles at all.

Although the nobles of the empire are relatively better off, they are not much better.

A simple comparison is that under normal circumstances, ordinary civilians in the empire can only reach the level of federal junior high school graduates, while a few wealthy families can reach the level of federal high school students.

Imperial nobles can receive university education, but generally only at the undergraduate level. It is almost impossible to advance to the master's or doctoral level.

Dongguo Cilian, who told this, also explained why it surrendered cleanly.

This guy, like many great nobles in the empire, has long had a disobedient heart.

"Although those damn monkeys are not completely loyal to Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu's surveillance of them and strong control of related resources make it impossible for us to have the opportunity to build our own nuclear weapons."

Dongguo Cilian's tone actually sounded a little aggrieved.

"Emperor Wu even acquiesced to us studying the secrets of the gift, but was unwilling to reveal the slightest information about nuclear weapons. This made us feel desperate, because even with the most powerful gift power, it is impossible to stop nuclear weapons."

That's because nuclear weapons are the source of qi. Without the ability to study nuclear weapons, you will never be able to master the power of qi.

Of course, Ji Xinghe could not tell Dongguo Cilian this known fact. He asked, "Tell me about Qi."

"Qi? Well, you call the power of the gift Qi."

Dongguo Cilian did not delve into the matter of asking Ji Xinghe to give it nuclear weapons. It knew that Ji Xinghe could not make the decision. Many people should have started discussing it by now, so it was not in a hurry.

"Qi can only be obtained through the gift of Emperor Wu, and the gift is generally divided into three levels.

The lowest level of Qi can strengthen the body and make us immune to all diseases. The middle level of Qi can allow us to crack stone monuments. The high level of Qi can be released outside the body.

Under normal circumstances, different levels of gifts will be given based on the level of the title. I have sixty-three sons, but only two of them were named earls. They both received the lowest level of Qi from Emperor Wu in the gift ceremony.

Yinan, who was killed by you, had a son who was made a marquis and received a mid-level gift. Kazerman, who was captured alive by you, also received a mid-level qi. The gift I received at the beginning was also the lowest level.

When I took over my father's dukedom, I received the second gift, which is the highest level of gift.

Do you want to see the true power of Qi?"

Dongguo Cilian is obviously very dissatisfied with its current state and is trying to gain a certain degree of freedom.

While the people in the control room were still discussing, Ji Xinghe had already made a decision.

"Put it down."

The twelve guards wearing individual exoskeleton armor next to them carried out Ji Xinghe's orders without any hesitation, although judging from the command sequence, Ji Xinghe did not have the authority to command them.

The people in the monitoring room also stopped discussing, and their eyes became worried.

When Ji Xinghe and Han Li left the communication interference zone, the contents of the combat recorders on the two mechas were synchronized to the No. 5 base.

So they all knew that when Dongguo Cilian was changing armor in Ji Xinghe, he tried to launch an attack on Ji Xinghe.

In less than two seconds, a distance of thirty meters was directly crossed, and it was in an alien surface environment.

Even if Dongguo Cilian's injuries have not healed at this time, her combat effectiveness should still exceed that of Ji Xinghe.

But Dongguo Cilian, who was put down, could clearly see the current form. It did not attempt any attack and allowed the guards to chain its hands and feet.

The length of the chain is three meters, and it is fixed on the metal wall. It is so thick that even with a mecha, it is difficult to break it in a short time.

Dongguo Cilian, who had regained a certain degree of freedom, stood very steadily, as if her legs had not been broken by Ji Xinghe before. The ability of Qi had been demonstrated.

"May I?"

Dongguo Cilian raised her hands and asked.

Ji Xinghe nodded.

So Dongguo Cilian squatted down and slapped her palm on the ground. An extremely clear palm print instantly appeared on the metal ground.

"This is mid-level Qi. When we circulate Qi in the body, our physical fitness can be comprehensively enhanced. Strength is only one aspect, and speed is also included."

After saying this, Dongguo Cilian's figure seemed to disappear in an instant and stuck to the metal wall.

At a distance of three meters, even though it was locked with a thick iron chain, its speed could still shock everyone except Ji Xinghe.

"The only difference between low-level qi and mid-level qi is the amplification effect. When I first got the low-level qi, I couldn't leave a palm print on the metal, but my body's strength would be about 50% better.

Upgrade, when you reach the middle level, this improvement can more than double."

After a brief introduction, Dongguo Cilian looked at Ji Xinghe and asked in a seductive tone: "Do you want to feel the existence of Qi? As long as our bodies are in contact, I can conduct Qi into your body."

Then you will be shocked.

Ji Xinghe looked at Dongguo Cilian coldly, making Dongguo Cilian laugh awkwardly.

Wang Wei's voice suddenly sounded: "Can the highest level of gift allow us humans to have the power of Qi?"

Dongguo Cilian heard this question, but did not answer. She still looked at Ji Xinghe with an awkward smile.

Ji Xinghe said coldly: "Say."

"OK."

Dongguo Cilian's plan to divorce was very obvious, and she replied: "No, because I don't have the highest level of gifts. In addition to the three gifts I just mentioned, there are indeed the highest level of gifts, which can only be obtained by the emperor."

Gift power, only by receiving this kind of gift can we be gifted. As for you, I am not sure whether your body can withstand the power of Qi."

I don’t know how many people sighed at this moment.

Dongguo Cilian added: "However, we have established that the Qi I possess can be used to heal humans. If the wounded at your base are brave enough, you can come over and let me prove it."

Wang Wei became excited again: "Lao Ji?"

Ji Xinghe pondered slightly and nodded.

So Wang Wei immediately started arranging relevant personnel. There were many wounded people at Base No. 5, and there were also many who were not afraid of death.

Before the wounded arrived, Ji Xinghe looked at Dongguo Cilian and asked, "Can the qi you have obtained grow, other than being gifted again?"

"Of course." Dongguo Cilian replied: "This is just like exercising the body. After gaining the power of qi, as long as our body can continue to become stronger, the qi in our body will also be strengthened. The strengthening of qi can also

Let our bodies become stronger. So generally, the strongest person in each family is the one with the highest title."

This explains why the empire's noble mechas were previously driven by nobles with titles to participate in battles. Their stronger physical fitness, reaction speed, etc. allowed them to fully utilize the performance advantages of the mechas and also be able to

Withstand higher loads in mech combat.

Just like mechas of the same level, Ji Xinghe is definitely more capable of fighting than Han Li and others when driving.

Ji Xinghe continued to ask: "How long will it take for the earl to grow to the level of a duke?"

Dongguo Cilian pondered for a moment before answering.

"It depends on the specific situation. There is a confirmed fact that the stronger the Qi the father has, the higher the adaptability of the children to Qi. If a son born to a nobleman without Qi gets the lowest level of Qi,

Qi, it would take about fifty years to reach the level you mentioned.

When I was an earl, it would take about forty years for the son I gave birth to to reach the level you mentioned. But the son I give birth to now only takes about thirty years.

If they are members of the royal family, it usually only takes about ten years, so the most powerful people in the empire must be the members of the royal family. When you meet them in the future, you should pay more attention. Because the Qi they get at the beginning can only be achieved by Dukes.

Got the energy, they are far stronger than us.

For example, Aida Kang, if it is a disarming battle, he can slap me to death with one slap. Of course, he can also slap you to death with one slap, maybe not with a slap, but with just one finger."

Ji Xinghe just frowned slightly, but someone next to him couldn't help it anymore.

Second lieutenant translator Liu Yingzi said angrily: "The Aida Kang you mentioned does not dare to fight with our General Ji Xinghe. Its Prince A was captured by our General Ji Xinghe."

Dongguo Cilian was stunned, only then did she learn the news.

Then he laughed again: "That is armor-piercing warfare. Aida Kang may indeed be afraid, but what he is afraid of is not your General Ji Xinghe, but your nuclear weapons. If it is certain that you will not use nuclear weapons, no matter what

Whether it's armor-piercing combat or armor-removing combat, in a one-on-one battle, your General Ji Xinghe is no match for him."

Liu Yingzi wanted to argue, but Ji Xinghe raised his hand to stop him.

"Tell me about the specific classification methods and levels of qi, and what are the basis for judgment."

Dongguo Cilian shook his head: "There is no such thing as what you said, because there are too few people with qi. The entire empire can only count two thousand, and most of them are members of the royal family. Some of the secrets of qi have always been kept secret, and there is lack of sufficient reference.

, we can’t separate them even if we want to.”

Ji Xinghe understood, and asked again: "How long has Bell Rossi been angry? How many years have you been angry? How many years has Aida Kang been angry? Is the one who was killed by Li Yuanba your prince before?"

Dongguo Cilian frowned and replied: "Belrosi became a Duke less than five years ago, I became a Duke thirty years ago, and Aida Kang gained the power of Qi for about sixty years. Yes, Li Yuanba killed the crown prince at that time.

"

"How many years did it take for it to become a prince?"

"Thirty-two years."

"Is there a prince stronger than Aida Kang?"

"Yes." Dongguo Cilian replied: "The Sifang King, the East King, the West King, the South King, the North King, the four younger brothers of Emperor Wu II, the current Emperor Wu III and the four uncles of Aida Kang are the four uncles of our empire.

The most powerful and the four kings with the largest back cover area."
