Gorgeous magical artifacts can be found everywhere here, from traffic management to urban defense...... The power of magic technology has penetrated into all aspects of this country, and it is closely linked to the fate of this country.

This is the Kingdom of Blackstone, a kingdom half the size of the Holy Empire. However, because of its abundant mining resources, complete industrial system, and superb magic technology, it has been named "the country of forging" and "magic empire".

Although they are far inferior to other countries in terms of fighting spirit and magic, just relying on these magic technology can also allow them to sit firmly on one side and establish a country.

In particular, their magic guide armored force can compete with the main force of the Abyss! It is also comparable to the Arbitrator Army of the Holy Empire.

After getting off the airship, look at everything around you.

"Whew. Chen Mo exhaled lightly and said, "It's been a long time since I've been here." ”

At this time, they were located in Kennessel, the capital of the Blackstone Kingdom.

"yes. Etiah nodded in agreement.

Because the last time they were here, it was five or six years ago.

At that time, Chen Mo came here to deal with some affairs and purchase some materials by the way. Etia is here to repair and upgrade their team's flying machines so that they can use them on the continent of Arika.

Time has passed, and now, the two are back again.

"This place has changed a lot. Etiah couldn't help but sigh.

Because the last time they came, the products of these magic technology were a little dull when they were running, but now they have become much more flexible.

At least not now......

Can you imagine that a robot, in order to take a given route, but suddenly there is an obstacle on this route, and it has been there, stunned, and often makes passers-by laugh.

Later, I heard them explain that when the robot entered the map, the old one was recorded, which is why it caused so much farce. Chen Mo said.

However, only those in the research department of the Blackstone Kingdom know what happened.

At this time, not far away, a man in a fancy costume and glasses walked towards Chen Mo and Etiya.

"I don't know if the two masters are far away! The contemptible Hagrid, who is currently the head of the research team of Group A of the Blackstone Kingdom Research Institute, has met Master Chen Mo. The man saluted towards Chen Mo.

"You're welcome. Chen Mo waved his hand.

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart, this person from the Blackstone Kingdom Research Institute came over so quickly?

"You're here just to greet me. Chen Mo said.

Hagrid smiled slightly and said, "The moment Your Excellency entered the imperial capital of the Blackstone Kingdom, our dean received news and sent me to greet you, inviting you to the research institute to catch up with our dean. ”

"Reminiscence?" Chen Mo's eyes rolled, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said, "That's okay." I'm old friends with your dean. ”

"Thank you for your cooperation. Hagrid politely saluted Chen Mo: "Then please come with me." ”

"Good. Chen Mo also nodded, and followed Hagrid with Etia to a luxurious airship.

"Please. Hagrid saluted again.

After Chen Mo and the others got on the airship, Hagrid followed.

After walking into the interior of the airship, seeing the layout inside the airship, Chen Mo couldn't help but say: "It seems that your research institute has made a lot of progress in the past few years." ”

"A small improvement, not enough to worry about. Hagrid replied modestly.

However, from his expression, you can still see the little pride in his heart.

At this moment, inside the airship, a familiar electronic sound suddenly sounded.

[Please fasten your seat belts, the airship is about to start departing, the destination, the headquarters of the National Research Institute ......]

Then, a sudden force came down, which proved that the airship had been activated, and the whole process lasted forty-five seconds.

At this time, the pressure was lifted, and the electronic sound sounded again.

【The target has arrived......】

Listening to this voice, Chen Mo was surprised again.

"I didn't expect it to be quite fast. But I remember that the fastest airship on the market now takes two or three minutes, right?"

"Indeed, it should have been. Hagrid pushed his glasses and said, "But just two years ago, we opened an exclusive acceleration tunnel that more than doubles the speed of the airship." ”

"Acceleration channel? Chen Mo nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for this idea.

"But ......"

At this time, Hagrid spoke again: "However, this passage is a lot of money in terms of cost and maintenance, so this thing can only be used in the interior of the national capital, and now it is only the palace and here." ”

"Oh? That's a pity. Chen Mo sighed slightly.

Then, led by Hagrid, he left the airship.

In front of me, there is a building that looks like it looks like from the outside

"Come with me, two. Hagrid led the way, and Chen Mo and Etia also passed through all the security areas smoothly and came to the inside of the research institute.

Different from the magnificence seen by the outside world, on the inside, there is only practicality and simplicity.

"It seems that you haven't lost your original intention. Chen Mo said.

"Hehe, let the adults laugh. Hagrid replied again.

In the interior of the research institute, there are six floors above ground and four floors underground, a total of ten floors, each with at least five levels.

And in the corridor, there is also a group of tireless magic robots patrolling.

Everywhere, there are dense mechanisms, and once triggered, the flesh and mortals will definitely die.

And now, what they are going to is the fourth basement floor, which is the core part of the research institute - longan!

That's where the entire research institute is supplied, and its security is even stronger, except for the group of strengthened defense systems, which are guarded by the dean himself, and in terms of authority, at least only the research director can pass.

In this way, it also greatly reduces the possibility of spies infiltrating. At least since the establishment of Longyan, I have not heard of any spies in this place.

When he came here, even Hagrid didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and reminded again: "Both, please follow me." ”

"Hmm. Chen Mo and Etiya also nodded cooperatively.

After going down to the second underground floor and coming to the third floor, you can clearly feel that the energy density in the space has become larger, and the concentration is at least five times that on the ground.

If you don't guess wrong, all this must have a lot to do with that "dragon's eye".

It's just that this breath is quite familiar, and it seems to be right...... Chen Mo said secretly, and at the same time, his heart was already happy.

This trip will not be in vain.

"It's here. Hagrid began.

At this moment, the metal door in front of them slowly opened.

Inside, there is a huge test bench, on which magic runes are suspended, and it seems to be a kind of bondage field.

"Lord Dean, Lord Chen Mo has arrived. Hagrid walked up to an old man in a white robe and reported softly.

At this time, the "dean-sama" was immersed in his own research and could not react for a while.

Knowing that Hagrid reported again, there was no movement.

"Ahh

"There. Hagrid pointed over.

The old man looked in the direction Hagrid was pointing.

Sure enough, in that direction, the person I had been looking forward to day and night finally came.

He trotted over, grabbed Chen Mo's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Long time no see!

"Long time no see. Chen Mo also responded with a smile.

"Mr. Chen Mo, where have you been in the past few years, I have sent people to invite you several times, but I can't find you. ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled, and then said, "I have traveled to other continents in the past few years. ”

Etia subconsciously glanced at Chen Mo, and understood that Chen Mo was talking nonsense again.

"What a pleasure to travel? The old man laughed.

"Hahaha, there's nothing to do. Chen Mo replied: "However, this time, I don't know why my old friend invited me over?"

"Huh. The old man seemed a little embarrassed: "You may not know what our research institute has done in the past few years. If you see it, you'll be amazed, hahaha!"

Then, he led Chen Mo to the console, pointed to the things in the experimental table, and said, "Look, what is this?"

Chen Mo looked at it and found that in the test bench, there was a huge engine, which was spherical and composed of several rings.

And inside the ring, there is a purple energy body, which is constantly emanating towards the outside world.

"This is ......" Feeling the breath of this engine, Chen Mo's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Old guy, you are not ambitious." ”

"Hahaha. Looking at Chen Mo's reaction, the old man stroked his beard and smiled: "If you don't have ambition, where will you make progress." ”

At this time, the one in front of them was a super engine, an engine that was enough to drive a small battle fortress, and with this thing, the status of the Black Stone Kingdom would inevitably rise again.

At this time, Chen Mo suddenly said: "However, if you develop this thing, won't you give me a little patent fee?"

"Huh?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is this patent fee?"

"It's ......" Chen Mo smiled slyly: "With my technology, I naturally have to pay a certain price, don't think I can't see it, isn't this a copy of my portable engine." ”

"Haha, this ......" the old man smiled awkwardly.

Originally, I was going to show off in front of Chen Mo, but I didn't expect that someone would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

In fact, this kind of thing also exists in their country, but it is not called any patent fee, but "magic technology royalty", which is generally based on 01% of the cost of the invented item, and if there is subsequent mass production, it is necessary to pay 0.1% of the total production price......

Wait! The old man suddenly seemed to think of something, and said slowly: "You don't have that technology, right? Without registration, even if you have this technology, it can only be called an opposition technology, and even if you use it, you don't have to pay any compensation! You, you're too young!"

"Huh?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, good guy, do you still want to play chess?

However, since Chen Mo dared to mention this, he was naturally prepared, so he said: "Too young, are you talking about me? How do you know that I didn't register?"

"What?!" the old man was suddenly startled, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"You can check it now, if you guess correctly, it's on your magic recorder, but it's recorded. Chen Mo continued.

Hearing this, the old man's face changed again and again, and he hurriedly ran to the experimental table and turned on the transmitter.

And then...... Then he ran back with a black face.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile in his heart.

You're still tender, old fellow.

"When?" asked the old man unwillingly.

"When?" Chen Mo sneered: "Of course it was five years ago." Your excited little eyes at that time were so obvious that I backhanded the technology that was revealed that day, especially the technology of this engine. ”

At that time, Chen Mo wanted to take advantage of this time to keep a back hand, maybe he could get some pocket money to spend, but he didn't expect that he would use it at this time.

"Five years ago?" the old man couldn't help but look at the engine on the test bench, and for a moment he wanted to cry without tears.

Looking at Chen Mo again, he remembered that this guy in front of him was a real old guy older than him!

"What's going on, how is your thing's fake?" At this time, Chen Mo finally showed his demonic smile.

Little guy, I call you a few times a day, old guy, do you really think that you have eaten a few more years than labor and management?

"This ......," the old man suddenly sweated profusely.

"But ......" At this time, Chen Mo suddenly changed his words.

"But what?!" asked the old man anxiously.

"With just one transaction, not only will this money be gone, but I can also point you to give you a level up. Chen Mo said.

"Okay!" the old man agreed directly, and he didn't care what it was, as long as it wasn't money!
