() "Professor, why don't we go back and study again?" Xie Ning looked worriedly at the busy scholars in front of him, but walked to Academician Qian who was concentrating on calculating something, and asked softly.
Since that night, for two consecutive nights and one day, they didn't sleep a wink.
Scholars are indeed the most fanatical creatures among human beings. When they saw the ring that seemed to be a giant door, they seemed to see a treasure. Although they were completely confused about its manufacturing technology, they also developed it through human beings' own magic technology.
A lot of results have been achieved - at least, they have somewhat understood the energy nature contained in this ring. As expected, a huge amount of space magic energy is stored in it!
At this time, the scholars with slow steps but high spirits were working silently. However, at the most critical moment of studying its effects, they actually refused to take even half a step.
After talking too much, they even lost their temper - What's wrong with you? What should I do if you interrupt my train of thought? Where can I go but for research? How many times have we said that it takes time to strengthen the magic field, but we are still safe!
Your Highness, would you please stand aside quietly? It’s really nothing to cause trouble!
…
Facing the scholars who had to shun even the emperor, Xie Ning had no choice but to stand aside with a small hotpot in his arms.
However, his worry became more and more intense - even though he had tried his best to protect the quality of life of the scholars, he even risked violating the camping regulations and ordered the magic warriors to go out to hunt the most dangerous ones.
The nutritious and rare monsters are only for replenishing the bodies of scholars.
However, this is only a drop in the bucket. Looking at the faces of the scholars getting thinner day by day, the young general is very worried.
Moreover, there was always a nagging and lingering feeling in his heart... that a disaster was about to come.
…
Academician Qian hurriedly listed down the formulas on the draft, but turned to look at Xie Ning helplessly: "Your Highness, it was you who wanted to study it at first, but now the research has really made a breakthrough, and it is you who want to go back first
.You also know that science needs inspiration most, and once inspiration comes, it needs to be used immediately."
"If we go back now, we don't have to worry about whether our inspiration will be interrupted. We have to go back in the middle. What if we research something and have to refer to that giant door? Will we turn back then?"
"Also, if time is really not tight, don't worry. Please believe in science, okay? If the magic field does not reach a certain intensity, the space will not be so fragile, and if the space does not reach a certain degree of vulnerability, the channel cannot be opened. This
This is the conclusion we have reached after careful demonstration."
"So what do you have to worry about? The magic field has always been under our close surveillance - unless there is something big abnormality in the magic field upstairs, which we cannot detect. But can the magic field have abnormalities? Then
But there is a magic field on the entire planet! What is the difference between this and people wondering if they will be killed by a meteorite falling from the sky one day?"
Academician Qian reluctantly showed his hands to Xie Ning.
…
"Besides, it's not easy to find such a good place, and I can take advantage of this time to recuperate for a few patients. It really doesn't matter to us researchers. Didn't we often risk our lives like this in the laboratory before? You'd better pay more attention
The next few patients, haven’t you noticed that Mr. Yuan is already like this? If you take him on a quick march, it will be fine during the day, but if you sleep at night... he will be tortured to death."
Xie Ning looked at Elder Yuan and others who were lying on the hospital bed outside the crowd but still refused to rest and were talking tremblingly. He sighed quietly.
"Okay, then just one more day, can one more day be okay? Mr. Yuan and the others, every night I arrange for a few big demons to sleep under them - this way there should be no problem? Academician, I really
I think we can’t delay it any longer. At least, we have to go back to the Far North Fortress first.”
He said with a bitter look on his face: "Is it okay to have one more day?"
"Okay, just one day." Academician Qian nodded, but started busy on the paper again.
Xie Ning looked at the scholars, a hint of respect flashed in his eyes, but he sighed again and walked towards Yang Linkai and Xiao Ledong, who were talking in a low voice.
…
"How's it going? Did you hit a wall?" Xiao Ledong winked at Xie Ning and said.
Xie Ning smiled bitterly and said nothing, but he saw that Yang Linkai had a strange smile on his face: "I say, Xie Ning, you are still young and have never seen big scenes. I think back then, as a peerless genius, I also brought my
The regiment encountered several star-level demon battles from the Demon General Group of the Merchant Alliance in the southwest, but I was not afraid of danger, so why not bring my regiment back without losing a single hair?"
"And you are still a little green after all... A few days ago, there was an old barbarian from the Star Demon War, and we easily killed him - were you frightened by him?"
"Don't come here." Xie Ning rolled his eyes at him: "That bastard was killed not by us, but by me, okay? I was scared by him? I'm just afraid -"
Xie Ning was talking proudly, but suddenly he seemed to think of something! His expression changed drastically!
"That's right! Don't you remember! Something's not right?!"
He said loudly, even alarming the scholars not far away, who all cast unkind eyes over him.
Academician Qian also looked at him, but sighed helplessly, put down his work and walked over.
…
"What's wrong?"
Yang Linkai asked strangely, but saw that Xie Ning was already mumbling as if he was in a daze.
"You didn't mention him and I forgot about him. Once you did, looking back, that day was really strange..."
"You think, why did he tell us the secret of why he lived so long so frankly? Just to show respect to me as a descendant of Master Zhi? I'm afraid what he wanted to express most was to kill me...that secret
, why would he tell us frankly as enemies?”
"If it were you and you were about to die, would you still be in the mood to gossip with the enemy? If you had already had the will to die, would you reveal some secrets to the enemy that they don't know?"
Xie Ning asked in a low voice.
…
"Yes..." Xiao Ledong was also thoughtful: "Do you still remember that at that time, Xie Ning asked him two questions, and it seemed that... he only answered one?"
He suddenly looked at Xie Ning, his expression became excited: "You asked him why he appeared there? He didn't seem to answer at all! Moreover, it is the deepest place, and there is no place to eat, drink or live.
...He should be staying in the forest! Why would he suddenly appear there?"
"I find it strange what you said. He seemed to throw out the so-called holy water of life, but it made us unknowingly not investigate why he didn't answer another question..."
Yang Linkai also touched his chin.
"Something weird!"
…
The two of them came to the conclusion in unison and looked at Xie Ning, only to see that Xie Ning's expression had changed drastically!
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned livid!
"Sure enough, no matter how stupid the barbarians are, they will become successful if they live a long time! That bastard threw out an incredible secret, I'm afraid, just to cover up another bigger secret!"
He said through gritted teeth!
Yang Xiao and Yang Xiao were immediately surprised, but saw that Xie Ning ignored them after finishing speaking.
He raised his head and looked around nervously, and found Academician Qian walking towards him angrily.
He stepped over in one step, but before Academician Qian's accusing words could be uttered, he said repeatedly: "Academician, please use your knowledge and wisdom to think carefully, and be sure to give me a scientific answer! If,
If we want to build a passage to an alien plane, do we need to send people to locate it first? If we don’t need to send someone, then does it cost less to locate it in the past? Or is it the same consumption? "
He asked in a loud voice.
Everyone in the place was startled by Xie Ning's gaffe. The scholars also put down their work and gathered around in anger or surprise.
…
"I don't know if positioning is needed, but the consumption... This is obvious. If you have positioning, you will omit searching and errors, and you will be familiar with the road. Naturally, the consumption will be much smaller - otherwise, there will be violent space turbulence between the two planes.
It’s enough for people to endure.”
Academician Qian looked at Xie Ning and said inexplicably. She was about to say something, but she saw that Xie Ning's face was pale!
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you..." she asked doubtfully.
"We... were all deceived by that damn bastard! I should have known, even the barbarians are stupid and brainless people in our impression! But how could that bastard have no idea after living for so many years!
I should really cut him into pieces!"
Xie Ning said with a ferocious face.
"You mean, he just came here? The barbarian invasion has really started?" Academician Qian was shocked and lost his temper.
…
"No, he is indeed a remnant of the First World War, otherwise he would not be so weak. But do you think, why did he tell us about the Holy Water of Life? Is it just to shock us with some explosive news before his death? No, he is
In order to use a minor secret to cover up another extremely important secret that cannot be lost!"
"If he doesn't tell us about the Holy Water of Life, then everyone will have to think about the barbarian invasion! But if he tells us the secret of the Holy Water of Life, it will dispel our doubts! And there are ten out of ten things he needs to cover up, which are probably the truth.
It’s the barbarians who are about to invade!”
"It is very likely that he has a more important mission - to provide accurate spatial positioning for the barbarians to invade again through some unknown method! Otherwise, you think, as an abandoned son, why can he get a hearing
The extremely precious holy water of life? Is it just to compensate for his sacrifice for the race? Then why give it to him, a mortal person who may never come back? Wouldn’t it be better to give it to his family?”
"This is illogical! The only logical explanation is that the barbarians need someone to stay here and stay alive for a long time - just to facilitate their next invasion!"
"And the reason why he appeared at the giant gate and showed up to kill people has been reasonably explained! He rushed to locate it! Moreover, he has... provided a location for the barbarians to invade again! He even
Maybe he had already made up what he would say if he was discovered, so he dared to show up and kill someone!"
"The barbarian invasion again...maybe is coming! Or it's already coming!"
Xie Ning spat out the entire paragraph with great difficulty.
