Taoyuanxing                                                              

The snow is flying all over the sky, and the flying white is maintained on this vast snow field in the northern polar region for many years. Except for the sound of the wind, everything is silent. After years of construction by the 709th Brigade, the current Beifu Fortress has been expanded more than one times than before. More than ten huge white domes show their beautiful arcs in the snow, like mysterious alien bases, neatly arranged on this snow field, and are decorated with more small dome buildings around and colorful projection lights around the aprons, like special white jade jewelry. Only those bright red flags made with holographic projection technology pass through the blizzard, floating tenaciously on the building, indicating their identity and bringing a hint of passion to this whiteness.

Outside, there is a vast area of ​​ice and snow, and there is almost no animal or plant. When you enter these domes, you feel the strong spring, the birds sing and the fragrance of flowers, the pink and green willows seem to have entered a real paradise. In front of those artistic buildings, the small bridges and flowing water, and the bamboo forests are filled with a natural request.

In addition to civil facilities such as hospitals and schools, there are also botanical gardens, wild safaris and even aquariums and aquariums, which are connected through underground tracks under the snow field. There is also an agricultural dome that specializes in synthetic meat products and uses synthetic sunlight to grow vegetable crops. Under this dome, a unique ecosystem is formed.

In a comfortable environment and strict confidential environment, more than 7,000 soldiers and researchers, including the headquarters of the 709th Brigade, have worked here for a long time. Although the suspension of air warships has made the logistics efficiency here much less efficient, relying on the increasingly perfect construction of the 709th Brigade and the closed independent ecosystem after high-tech investment have also made this place gradually embark on the road of self-sufficiency.

When the new first and second leaders of the autonomous region, Ding Liecheng and Meng Xuegong, inspected here, compared this place to a "sanctuary of the end of the world". Of course, Major General Dong Shulei, commander of the Beifu Fortress Base, also told them that there was indeed this purpose in establishing the Beifu Fortress. After all, there were too many things here beyond people's imagination, and no one knew what would happen tomorrow.

Therefore, just as the magicians of Taoyuan Star began to deploy secretly for their so-called "magic empire", the 709th Brigade, the autonomous region's own "magicians" are carrying out their daily work in an orderly manner here.

The 709th Brigade has many tasks, in addition to combat readiness duty, cooperating with production, serving as a ship girl and a "machine girl" (referring to aircraft that transport important materials or personnel to ensure safety). The main task is scientific research tasks and continuing to study the mysterious universe energy that spreads all over the Taoyuan Star. Over time, more super-civilized objects were sent here for research. Most of them were too much beyond the existing technology and could not understand the usage and had to be temporarily sealed.

At this moment, in one of the domes, Colonel Feng Feifan, the captain of the 709th Brigade Scientific Research Brigade, was sitting in his seat, looking at a paper submitted by Colonel Huang Muwen, deputy chief of staff of the 709th Brigade:

“…The ability of strategically supported special forces depends on its own output rate, and its output power is related to its own training and the adhesion material of the crystal.

According to the previous experience of the 709th Brigade, the initial basic training can only be familiar with one and understand the manipulation of multiple elements. However, with the strengthening of training and the improvement of output rate, generally after about one year, the manipulation of various elements and even some invisible elements can reach a certain level. Although different people have slight differences or have a "biased degree", the overall output power is not much different, which is the limit of these adult special forces.

From the second generation, the people who started training in minors were quite special. When they reached the age of the previous generation of "special forces", their output power was significantly greater than that of them by about 10-20%. At the same time, they could also master a translation technology similar to "reading the opponent's language expression power", which was something that the first generation of special forces could not reach. However, after years of testing, this is also the limit of the second generation of special forces, and it is difficult to make any breakthroughs.

Only in the large crystal stage can the disassembly and reorganize elements. Although almost everyone can do it as a "special force", there are also subtle differences, and the difference in output power affects this difference. However, the application of these large cosmic energy crystals seems to have reached its limit at present.

However, according to Taoyuan Star’s understanding over the years, the use of cosmic energy is not only limited to the manipulation and reorganization of material elements. Judging from the current applications, it should also include a higher level, such as the manipulation of time and space. However, in the existing experiments, no matter what method we try, we cannot have a trace of depth in the barriers of time and space. We can only create special time weapons to use cosmic energy to interfere with events.

However, since the same large crystal can vary depending on the user, is it because our human body's output power is limited that we cannot break through?

According to past experience, a magician's energy generated by a crystal can be increased as the output power increases. So if we use other means to increase our output rate by another level, can we use this crystal to break through the barriers of time and space? I personally think this is a study worth trying..."

A crisp knock on the door came from outside. Before Feng Feifan could respond, Colonel Huang Muwen pushed the door and walked in, throwing a report in front of Feng Feifan with a proud look on his face:

"Our General Staff has done the preliminary work of your Science and Technology Brigade in advance. Let's take a look. It may completely change the strength of our 709th Brigade, or find a way to open the gantry."

"Is this a new discovery from your General Staff?" Feng Feifan said calmly, picked up the report in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This is a preliminary research report on the kind of drugs that Zhao Hualei and others obtained from Hei Street that can increase output power.

"...The main ingredients of the medicine have been studied and analyzed in advance, and a basic understanding of most of its ingredients and the effect of use has also been made. However, the main ingredients that come from a mysterious plant in Feilong Valley and a strange-looking seaweed on Dingyuan Island. The latter was once used as a decoration by locals because of its special shape and some shimmer. The only thing we can understand about these two plants is that it has a certain radiation, which is probably grown in the special environment of Feilong Valley and Dingyuan Island for a long time.

The unique attributes given. However, these two herbs are very toxic. According to our research on the relevant information of Dragon Hunter, ordinary people will definitely die if they eat it. However, according to other information, some magicians used this drug to improve their abilities. We visited some witnesses and the Luka Magister Guild to confirm this. At the same time, after our relevant research, we found that the toxicity of this herb produced in the Feilong Valley can be reduced. If combined with other suitable materials, it may be able to increase the output rate of our personnel..."

Huang Muwen cooperated to put the two small bottles on Feng Feifan's table: "This is the dragon vein grass, this is the sea light grass, the kind of Feilong Valley herb with radiation and the aquatic plants in the Dingyuan Island waters. But don't worry, the radiation is not enough to directly affect the human body, but I think these radiation has caused special mutations in these two plants."

"So!" Feng Feifan put down the report: "What do you need our Science and Technology Brigade to do?"

"What are you doing? Of course, I'm doing research?" Huang Muwen said excitedly: "You should have read my paper. If we can improve the output rate and break the barriers of time and space, we might be able to break through the barrier of the gantry."

"There is no way to study!" Feng Feifan sighed: "You know that the target of these drugs is not ordinary people, but special groups like us. If you want to finally determine that they are safe and reliable, it is far from enough to use computer models to simulate or mouse experiments. No matter how much we invest or how much resources we consume, we can't escape the human experiments if we continue to study. But this human experiment cannot be done by just finding some drug testing volunteers. It must be a 'special group' and there must be a considerable number of 'special groups'. But now there are only a few hundred special groups in the entire 709th Brigade, each of which is a treasure. How can we experiment with this drug? Even those who have left the 709th Brigade are the national reserve troops and cannot be moved easily."

"I volunteer to try this kind of experiment!" Huang Muwen said gritting his teeth: "This may be the key to us opening the dragon gate. Even if it cannot be opened, it may be a necessary means for us to save Comrade Fang Xinyue. Xiao Fang has been waiting for more than 10 years."

Feng Feifan stood up and put the report and two bottles of samples back into Huang Muwen's hand with regret: "You and I can decide whether you can be a volunteer. Even if you give up, the superiors will not agree. Besides, even if you are alone, even if you die, it is definitely not enough. There are more people who are brave enough to sacrifice."

"Or you apply to try it. If anyone of them agrees, it's all about opening the dragon gate again!" Huang Muwen said unwillingly.

"There is no such thing, ten thousand is impossible. Think about it, if you fail to study this thing, it will cost the people and the money. If it succeeds, then all of us, the abilities of "special forces" can reach the point of manipulating time and space. Then this is no longer ordinary people, but the existence of transcends social mechanisms. What consequences and effects will it bring? Before humans evolved stronger powers, this is a bit too exaggerated, so even if you need to study it, it is too early and not the time. Besides, you currently have no substantial evidence to prove that this study has a direct connection with opening the gantry, but if you want to invest, it will be great."

"Okay!" Huang Muwen was angry, but did not take away the information, but placed it on the table again: "Stay here to save a file. Maybe many years later, when the time is ripe and our cloning technology is mature, we can use clones for drug testing. Then, let's start again."

Feng Feifan nodded and put the file into his safe...

At the same time                                                             �

In the newly built basement, Ye Ying was handing over a box of dragon vein grass and sea light grass to the new president Reohard, who took it timidly, with hesitation in his eyes.

"Other herbs are common. You can find a way to buy them yourself. Only these two things are special. I have got them all for you. The medicines that Constantine has cultivated with her own sacrifice must be continuously improved until she finds a suitable formula and the best ratio so that you can increase your output rate." Ye Ying said seriously.

"I know this is a necessary means to improve our abilities, but using those who have quit the guild in the past to conduct experiments, let them take medicine without knowing it, and then observe the reaction. Isn't this too cruel? After all, they are our companions," Leohard said with a guilty look on his face.

"Those who are not firm in will and who will withdraw after a little threat will not only not become the pillars of the future empire, but will also be a hidden danger to us sooner or later. Is this a waste utilization? I originally wanted this medicine to fall into the hands of the 709th Brigade, let them develop results, and then find a way to get the finished product or formula through my wife. But I didn't expect that so many days have passed. Judging from the collection of dragon vein grass, they have no relevant research at all, so we can only do it ourselves. And without making such sacrifices, I will let me go.

With their output power reaching the limit, all we can do is magic performance. Just a group of juggling artists cannot become real users." Ye Ying reminded: "Remember, if we want to build our own magic empire, the biggest resistance is not the empire, not the lion empire, but China. They know more clearly the consequences of a pure magic empire than other countries and have extremely strong power. If we do not prepare to fight with them first, then we are doomed to fail."

"But...human experiments are the biggest taboos for mages!" Reohard turned his head guiltily.

"Everything is for victory. After victory, no one will care about your means. All taboos can be discarded now. In addition to drug tests, you even have to conduct spiritual experiments that control other magicians, as well as experiments that resurrection the dead. You must try all the taboo experiments in the previous records, and be sure to find ways to improve the overall strength of the magician. I don't believe that as descendants of a level 4 civilization and a god-level civilization, we only have some abilities for performance."

Reohard nodded, placed the two boxes aside, and took another password reference form.

"This is the password table I edited. In the future, you will use the password you use when you contact each other on public communication stations. There is also a copy in Luca. Just follow this and just say it. Remember, this password will be changed every six months, and I will find a way to give you a new one."

"Is it really necessary to contact the guilds of the Free Trade Zone in this code?"

"Of course, the guilds in the Free Trade Zone have been targeted by the Ministry of Security. It is only a matter of time before they target this place. Be extra careful about everything. This password table must be memorized, and it should not be difficult to memorize it in imperial language. After memorizing it, it will be destroyed immediately. It must not fall into the hands of others, nor can others know it. In addition, when contacting the Luka Free Trade Zone Guild, you must keep it more frequent and irregular for a period of time. Don't talk too much secret content at a time, nor do you use code words throughout the whole process. You must know that the communication services provided to you are monitored throughout the process, and using too many code words will be discovered."

Reohard nodded. As a person who was recruited by the Jinyiwei after the 709th Brigade layoffs, he himself received some spy training.

"There is another point, don't rush to achieve success, even if it's a drug test, you have to do it bit by bit. Although Scabrou City State is not a civilized place, it's not a big deal to die a few people, but after all, it's adjacent to China, and those from the Ministry of Security will pay attention sooner or later." Ye Ying patted his shoulder and pressed hard:

"This is not something that can be solved in a few days. We must be prepared for a protracted war. Now we must keep a low profile and conduct our tests secretly. Even those from the Security Department cannot be vigilant for a long time. I will need more time to instigate my wife, and at the same time find the weaknesses of the Feilong Valley base and find the things hidden there. If they are really there like legends, we must hold on, remember that victory belongs to us in the end, and keep telling your companions and reminding them that the longer we prepare, the greater the chance of victory."

After carefully explaining it, Ye Ying carefully left the guild and walked on the road back to Xichuan City.

A carriage passed by him, and a group of people in magician robes were sitting on the carriage, running towards the guild, talking and laughing, as if they were planning to come here to welcome their new life.

Seeing their backs leaving, Ye Ying showed disdain - a group of medicinal test materials. As for Rodick and Reohard, all of them were just his pawns, a stepping stone to achieve his dominance in his heart.

The personal computer suddenly sounded in contact, and a bust of a person immediately appeared in front of him, showing a calm smile:

"Old Ye, how about it? Nishikawa City is comfortable."

"It's okay, how are you doing there? Business is booming. Lao Li!" Ye Ying also replied with a strange expression.

"With the government orders, it's better than anything else, my company will be bigger immediately, but it's quite difficult. First, it was military to civilians, but now it's civilians to military. How about it? Do you want to resign and work with me? Give you a vice president or something."

"No, my job is pretty good. By the way, how about what I mentioned before?"

On the screen, Li Renlou, CEO of Qigong Group, showed a serious expression, as if he was unwilling and a little regretful, and then he took a toy model of the latest unmanned combat robot from the side.

"I got what you want. Fortunately, we also obtained the exclusive production rights of this toy while we received the military order. This toy has just been on the market and the limited edition has not been released yet. But I promise you will receive it. And it is the most exquisite one of the limited editions. All joints can move, and you can even use your personal computer to operate remotely. But you know how much risk I took."

"I know, thank you!"

"But you are so old, your child is almost born, do you still want this kind of toy? You are over the age to play with toys."

"This is a lifelong hobby and cannot be changed!" Ye Ying said seriously.

"What about what I need?" Li Renlou also said seriously.

"There are probably nearly a hundred pieces of raw stones in Feilong Valley. I will send them to you after I collect them. Remember to keep them this time and don't lose them. Don't find them when you use them in the future."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it."

The two of them pretended to greet each other, and Ye Ying glanced at Li Renlou and said:

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

The two of them closed the communication at the same time and began to feel a little nervous - because both of them knew very well that the other party was already the last member of Operation Proxima.

Ye Ying closed her communication, took a long breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and relaxed her mood a little.

However, the next second, a black dot in the air raised his heart to his throat again - the bird-like object that locals might not have noticed, but he was most familiar with it. It was a drone used by the security department for surveillance.

The Ministry of Security noticed it so quickly? Or the 2028 unit? Ye Ying's cold sweat suddenly flowed down, and a sense of despair rose in his heart. He began to doubt whether he could succeed and whether the magic power he imagined could defeat the Chinese army with the backing of modern scientific forces? This is just his wishful thinking. And he may not be able to reach that step. Now he is really walking on thin ice. The Ministry of Security and the 2028 unit are not easy to mess with. Every time he takes a wrong step, the current autonomous region can trample him to death like an ant.

When he recalled his wife, Yu Xinning, who is now pregnant with Liujia, was a little unbearable. He also had his future children, and he would be in such a dangerous and desperate situation as soon as he was born.

A voice sounded in Ye Ying's mind, I don't know which time it was.

"Give up, give up everything you do, give up your ideals, and be a cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs and Trade, how good and how easy it is to go on like this?"

Temptation is really too tempting. Ye Ying looked at himself now, the top leader of the Xichuan Foreign Trade Department, his work has been recognized by everyone, his income and treatment is very high, and he has a happy family, and he will soon have his own descendants. Why bother with the so-called magic empire and fight against the powerful power of the autonomous region? This is simply to use his small body to fill a bottomless black hole.

Ye Ying walked to a corner that the drone could not see, raised his hand, and looked at the watch with the cosmic energy crystals hidden. He turned around and looked at the no one around, secretly using the lifting power to lift a stone beside him. The stone immediately "flyed" into Ye Ying's hand in an incredible way.

"If I were an ordinary person, I might not have worked so hard!" Ye Ying smiled bitterly, then threw down the stone, and walked towards Nishikawa City with great strides...
Chapter completed!
