Song Zining glanced at it and immediately exclaimed: "Void Crystal! So big?"
"Void Crystal?" Qianye recalled that when he first picked up this piece of equipment, it was indeed continuously generating void force inside it.
Song Zining took it over and looked at it. His eyes paused at the gap that had been filled in the prismatic crystal and said, "What is here? Inlay?"
Qianye briefly talked about his experience of finding a small crystal piece in the Castle of Viscount Potu and the whole crystal in the Black Forest.
Song Zining nodded and said: "I'm not sure either. It's best to ask Nangong Xiaoniao to take a look. She is an expert in this field."
Song Zining tidied up the room slightly, erasing some traces that could not be seen by outsiders, then called in his personal attendants and maids, asked them to settle the sleeping little girl, and invited Nangong Xiaoniao to come over.
Although Song Zining and Qianye said to the outside world that Zhu Ji was an orphan picked up from a destroyed human settlement during Qianye's hunting trip. But looking at the eyes of those entourage and maids, Song Zining couldn't help but feel depressed, even if this excuse sounded
It's quite clumsy. Why doesn't anyone guess that this is Qianye's bad deed? What's the matter with the look in Qi Shao's eyes that everyone knows and doesn't need to explain!
Of course Qianye was laughing loudly.
A moment later, Nangong Xiaoniao hurried over and saw a blush on Qianye’s face, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. Without exchanging a few words, she saw what was on the table and immediately exclaimed, “Void Crystal! Still the same.
Excellent!"
Nangong Xiaoniao immediately pounced on it, grabbed the dull crystal, looked at it carefully for a while, and then reluctantly put it down.
"What is this thing used for?" Qianye asked.
"This is the best power source currently available!" Nangong Xiaoniao replied.
After her detailed explanation, Qianye understood that the void crystal was equivalent to a natural node connecting the void. Under the stimulation of the appropriate force array, it could continuously supply the void force and never exhaust. However, this kind of
Materials are not produced in mineral veins or fixed areas. They only appear suddenly under some extreme circumstances. Therefore, they are extremely rare and can be encountered but not sought.
The most important use of void crystals in the empire is to build power furnaces for battleships. A void crystal the size of a little finger is enough to drive a destroyer, and the void crystal obtained by Qianye is incredibly large and can completely drive the empire's highest-level aircraft.
Skyfire' class mothership.
So far, the super battleships of the Empire's floating fleet are very limited, with only a dozen or so. They are so rare, not because they cannot be built, nor because they cannot afford to use them, but because there are not enough void crystals to build a power furnace.
With a void crystal of this size, the empire will have one more battleship. When many noble ladies came to Heiliu City with Wei Potian, Qianye had seen the empire's main battleship, as if the entire city block was lifted out of the ground.
But that ship is not yet at the Skyfire level. If void crystals can be traded, then the rest of the entire battleship combined will not be worth a single void crystal.
However, after Nangong Xiaoniao confirmed it, Qianye felt happy about picking up the treasure, but also felt trouble. This kind of thing is one of the most important strategic materials, it is difficult to handle, and not everyone can have it.
Song Zining and Qianye looked at each other and understood what each other was thinking. Song Zining immediately said: "I will find a way to deal with this thing."
What followed were extremely peaceful days, and the bloody battle of the Iron Curtain continued. From the regular reports sent by Guinsou and the expeditionary force headquarters, we can get a glimpse of the fierceness and bloodshed of the battlefield. However, the recuperating Blackstream City seemed like a safe haven, and the flow of people
Speedy and orderly.
Qianye was still hesitant about going to the Zhao clan. He was not afraid of danger, but instinctively resisted the truth of what happened back then. Song Zining did not persuade him any more, but was making enthusiastic preparations for war, preparing to take advantage of the Iron Curtain.
At the right time, lead the Dark Fire to sweep the Dark Kingdom, at least flatten the adjacent areas of the Black Stream War Zone, and consolidate and expand the results of the westward advance before Qianye.
Zhu Ji, like all human little girls of the same age, started to live a life of eating and sleeping, and there was no abnormality at all. However, the habit of jumping on Song Zining and calling her mother still existed, which made Qi Shao extremely depressed, and
Only when she faced Qianye did she show a slight difference from ordinary children, as if she was fearful and yet obedient.
That afternoon, it was still three or four o'clock, the lead-gray sky overhead remained unchanged, and lights in the city began to light up according to the usual schedule.
Qianye walked on the streets of Heiliu, looking at the city that now belonged to him. In front of him was a construction site spanning two blocks. Thick steam pipes roared to transmit power, pushing huge machinery that was higher than the surrounding floors.
, countless workers are working on the scaffolding.
Whether it is the repair of the city wall or the reconstruction of the neighborhoods, it will not be long before the flow of people from all over the place will fill these simple or luxurious buildings, and the trauma of the Black Current Battle will be forgotten in the local chronicles.
of a page.
This is Eternal Night, a barren and bleak land, but it possesses extremely tenacious vitality.
Qianye stood on a pile of steam pipes crisscrossing like a spider web, looking at the lights that lit up most of the city, then turned his head and looked beyond the city wall to the endless wilderness.
Suddenly his heart moved and he lowered his head. On a section of the street, among the crowds of people rubbing shoulders, a young man stopped and looked up.
When Qianye saw that familiar face, he suddenly felt a little dazed. The Tianxuan Spring Hunt, which was a continent away, seemed to be just yesterday, but also seemed to be as far away as a century.
The man floated up in the sky and walked step by step in front of Qianye. His light-colored short hair was blown by the wind and kept hitting his handsome face. He smiled and said: "Qianye, long time no see."
Qianye was silent for a while and then said: "Second Young Master Zhao."
Compared with the Tianxuan Spring Hunt, Zhao Junhong's temperament has changed a lot. His flamboyant arrogance has been completely restrained under his calm eyebrows. He is wearing an ordinary samurai uniform, and the silver-wing fantasy on his back is completely covered by a hooded cloak. Except for
Apart from his tall and elegant figure, at first glance, he looked no different from the warriors coming and going.
Zhao Junhong also looked Qianye up and down, and said with a smile: "The time for our fight has passed, but it seems that I am getting worse and worse than you."
Qianye's tense body relaxed slightly, revealing a slight smile, "Second Young Master, if you are interested, I can accompany you."
Zhao Junhong's dark, deep and purple eyes suddenly lit up, and he was eager to try, and then he said regretfully: "Originally, the bloody battle at the Iron Curtain was a great opportunity. You and I can fight side by side, so we can compete. Unfortunately, Yuying is waiting for you in the West Continent.
, she had already promised to come here, and if you don’t go, she will come and arrest you personally.”
"Yu Ying? Is her injury healed?"
"Not yet. If she gets better, how can she stay at home honestly?" Zhao Junhong paused and said gently: "The fourth brother is now leading the Zhao clan's bloody battles and cannot escape, so I will accompany you.
Xilu."
Qianye was silent again.
"Isn't it windy up there?" A voice sounded nearby, and at the same time there was a soft babbling child's voice. Song Zining stood on the street below, looking at the two people with a smile, Zhu Ji was like a koala.
Hands and feet were hung tightly on his right arm.
On the way to the Dark Fire Base, Qianye learned that Zhao Junhong came alone without any followers. The situation in the Zhao family was tense on the battlefield of the bloody battle. Zhao Junhong concealed his identity and came alone because he did not want to cause trouble and alarm others.
In addition, it turned out that Zhao Yuying was not in the Zhao Mansion in West Ji City, but had arrived at the Zhao family's aerospace transfer base on the edge of the West Continent. Qianye knew in his heart that Zhao Yuying had interrupted the healing process and came specifically to pick him up.
If the delay continues, she might really come to Yong Ye and personally capture him and take him to the Zhao Clan.
Some things cannot be avoided after all.
After Qianye returned to Anhuo's residence, he started to pack his luggage. In fact, he didn't have much to bring. Zhao Junhong wanted to hide his presence, so he stayed in Qianye's room, and the two of them didn't talk much.
, in fact, they are carefully avoiding a topic.
After Qianye wiped the twin flowers, he suddenly said: "The Fourth Young Master Zhao said that he has a crystal lock piece left by my mother in his hand."
"Jundu told your father about you when he returned to the Zhao Clan this time to be promoted to war general. Therefore, when you go back this time, your father will be there, and the things he wants to give you will also be with him."
The father mentioned by Zhao Junhong is naturally Duke Chengen Zhao Weihuang, who is also Qianye's father.
Qianye fell silent again.
Zhao Junhong said softly: "Back then, my eldest brother and my third brother were already in school, and only Jundu was in the family, so he was particularly close to you. Maybe you don't remember... He didn't witness that incident.
But it still had a great impact on him, and he has been confused all these years."
"However, the inside story of that matter is very complicated. We have tried hard for many years and still can't know the whole story. Now, most of the people involved in it are no longer here. I'll let my father tell you the details, but maybe he can tell you.
Very limited.”
"Why?" Qianye finally said.
"Because when it happened, my father was still fighting the rebels thousands of miles away. By the time he heard the news and rushed back, it was already too late."
Hearing this, Qianye felt inexplicably relaxed, and the room fell silent again. After a while, Qianye's voice finally sounded: "If you can, let's leave tomorrow."
The trip was scheduled for the early morning of the next day. Not many people in An Huo knew that Qianye was going to travel far, and Nangong Xiaoniao was one of them. She took Qianye all the way to the door of the aerospace boat, and hesitated many times until she floated
The door of the boat was closed, but I couldn't say what I wanted to say.
The engine roared, and the aerostat with traces of time took off into the sky and flew into the vast sky. Nangong Xiaoniao stood there until the aerostat completely disappeared, then slowly turned around and left. On her still childish face
I don’t know when a lot of sadness climbed up.
As soon as Qianye left, Song Zining sent someone to invite Nangong Xiaoniao to the study.
"Sit down." This time Song Zining looked friendly and no longer as cold as before.
"I can just stand." Nangong Xiaoniao was very cold. Apparently, the last time Song Zining persuaded her to leave Qianye was not so easy to forget.
