"Immediately set up a scientific research team to conduct an in-depth study of this gemstone. Also, tell them that they must do a good job of secrecy and pay attention to safety!" The old man at the head muttered for a moment before speaking again.

"Yes, Chairman Long!" Liu Lao replied in a deep voice.

"Let's talk about it. Huaxia No. 1 pointed to the big screen in front of him and said, "According to what Xiao Ye and Xia Xiaozi said, this small valley is indeed a special place. Moreover, the inside of the trial tower seems to be extremely vast, and from the current point of view, it cannot be used by our country at all. However, the heavenly and earthly treasures in the trial tower are very rich, the demon beast meat is also delicious, and the power stones are even more precious......"

Looking at the picture projected on the big screen, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chorus in their hearts. Rolling mountain peaks, towering ancient trees, and giant beasts like small hills...... Obviously, in this trial tower, it is far more terrifying than the secret realm small world in the depths of Shennongjia, thousands of times!

As for the 10,000 trialists with different identities on the trial tablet, these bigwigs can accept it somewhat in their hearts. After all, so far, human beings on Earth have successfully visited many relics of extraterrestrial life civilizations, so what if there are still some civilizations in the infinite depths of the universe?

"This magical little valley is different from the secret world. Old Man Li drooped his eyelids and glanced around everyone's faces, and said, "According to Xia Xiaozi, this magical little valley exists specifically for those who cultivate. Moreover, this time I only occasionally encountered the plane where the earth is located, but no one can say when this independent space entity will once again disappear and disappear into the endless depths of time and space. ”

As soon as these words came out.

Someone finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and turned to scold angrily: "Damn! I said Lao Li, can you say something that everyone can understand? I will believe in the independent space individual for the time being, but what is the meaning of encounter, plane, and what time and space are messy, you can explain it to everyone clearly." ”

"Lao Chen, you are a dog, these are not what Lao Tzu said, they were all said to me by the kid surnamed Xia, I know the plane space of a bird!" Old Man Li blushed and had a thick neck, stood up and pointed at Old Man Chen and yelled, then turned to the sleepy Ye Shanhe behind him and said, "Xiao Ye, you come and tell them what kind of mess this is." ”

"Yes, chief!" Ye Shanhe stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice.

In such an enlarged meeting, Hayama River is not qualified to enter at all. Even if he is occasionally allowed to make an exception, he can only squat in a corner and act as an observer, so that's it.

"The Haoran brothers once said that the universe is an infinitely folded diversified and multi-dimensional space. ”

Ye Shanhe said word by word: "Moreover, this space is changing all the time, and it is not static. Like the conference room we are in, you can always lay a rug, set a table, frame a calligraphy or painting on the wall, and at the same time, you can remove a stool, remove a window cloth, and pry open a floor tile at any time...... If each layer of space is regarded as a plane, they may intersect with each other or parallel lines when they follow certain rules. Like carpets and floor tiles, carpets and chandeliers on the ceiling. ”

"Now, the small valley, an independent spatial entity, suddenly jumps out of the dimensional space and intersects with the space where our earth is located, so it is a chance and creation for us. That is, one day in the future it will disappear again, but that will be years later. Therefore, we only need to pay attention to the moment, how to effectively develop and utilize the resources in this dimensional space is the most important!" After speaking, Ye Shanhe saluted to all the bigwigs present, and then squatted in the corner again and pretended to be corpses.

"Xiao Ye is right!"

Kong Lao Er took over the topic and said: "The top priority is how to rationally exploit the resources in this dimensional space to optimize and build our existing social civilization, which is the most important thing. It's just that the big guy in this trial tower should be called a demon beast. The demon beasts in this are not something our warriors can deal with at all. As we all know, our ninth game has developed quite well over the years, and the various report cards submitted are obvious to all, but even Xiaoye and them can't easily deal with these big guys at present......"

"yes!"

"That's a real problem!"

"Ahem......"

At this time, Old Man Liu spoke: "If our scientists can successfully convert this energy stone into a new energy source that can be used, then our next demand can be said to be a huge amount! Moreover, according to what Xiao Ye said before, the higher the tower layer, the stronger the corresponding demon beast strength, and the higher the grade of the energy stone obtained, the more important it will be for our future development and application." ”

Old man Liu's words caused a burst of echoes.

The No. 1 leader frowned and was silent, his fingers tapped lightly on the conference table, and after a few seconds, he suddenly looked up at Ye Shanhe, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ye, call Xiao Li of the Intelligence Department for me immediately, I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes, chief!" Ye Shanhe hurriedly replied.

The call was quickly connected.

"I said Lao Ye, what kind of wind is blowing today, why did you suddenly remember to call me?" On the other end of the phone, there was a burst of Li Youjiang's ridicule.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to be with the chiefs!" Ye Shanhe was slightly stunned, and then said: "Brother Li, the chiefs have something important to ask, I will press the speakerphone now, you can talk to the chief directly." ”

"Huh?" At this moment, Li Youjiang's heart seemed to have thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, hello leaders!

The No. 1 leader coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Li, I'm Long Dingshan! You have been running the intelligence department for so many years, I want to know how many ancient martial arts masters have reached the Heavenly Rank in our land of Huaxia so far, and how many Ancient Martial Arts masters have surpassed the Heavenly Rank? I want the exact number!"

"Yes, Chairman Dragon!"

On the other end of the phone, Li Youjiang said without thinking: "Up to now, within the scope of our Huaxia Kingdom, in addition to the three super hidden forces of Xuanyuan Gate, Demon Gate and Ten Thousand Demon Palace, there are a total of twenty-seven Heavenly Rank Ancient Martial Arts Masters, and there are zero Ancient Martial Arts Masters who exceed the Heavenly Rank. According to the judgment of our intelligence department, Xia Haoran and his girlfriend Li Mengyao at least have a strength far beyond that of a heaven-level ancient martial artist, but the two of them are not ancient martial arts cultivators!"

"Well, I already know about it!

No. 1 nodded at Ye Shanhe, motioned for the other party to hang up the phone, and then said: "Over there in Qinghai Lake, although the little monkey has arranged a spirit array to make hidden measures, our monitoring work must be further strengthened and must not be slackened; ”

"Yes, Chairman Long (chief)!" said everyone in unison.

"Then dismiss the meeting!"

……

Night.

Xia Haoran took out the Little Worm, took Li Mengyao, Leng Yi and others, turned into a streamer, and flew towards space.

As he said to Yu Shan before, the journey of the future beauty group is in the endless sea of stars, not on the earth with a crowded population and limited resources.

The construction of an interstellar transport spaceship that can carry people, interspersed with the construction of an asteroid exploration spacecraft, an interstellar vehicle, and the development of asteroid traction engine technology is undoubtedly a very large plan. It's just that this seemingly huge plan is only a part of Xia Haoran's entire plan. Whether it was for the growth of the Leng Yi Eight Brothers, or for the repair of the space battleship, Xia Haoran urgently needed a large number of scarce precious ore raw materials.

As everyone knows.

In the history of human development, whether it is from the great geographical discoveries to the gold rush in the United States, the thirst for scarce resources has driven human beings to continue to explore and explore. When the earth's known resources are gradually depleted, in order to meet the continuous development of scientific and technological civilization, human beings have to look to the depths of the ocean and the sea of stars.

Merely.

Compared with the endless cosmic starry sky, the earth's marine resources are limited after all. Moreover, the pollution and damage caused by excessive development will undoubtedly make the earth's environment even worse. Getting out of the earth and preparing for tentative space mining is also becoming a hot topic. You must know that whether it is the world's number one power, or the civil forces from all over the world, they are now beginning to set their sights on this promising industry.

However, with the current scientific and technological civilization of mankind, it is not yet possible to effectively explore space beyond the solar system. In the solar system, there are a large number of remnants of the formation of the solar system or the debris of the destruction of the planets. Some research departments estimate that there are about 1 million asteroids in the solar system with a diameter of more than one kilometer, but the vast majority of these asteroids are too far away from Earth to be mined.

And!

If you want to transport back a kilogram of mineral resources from space, with the level of science and technology of today's human beings, it is undoubtedly like ascending to the sky!

Therefore, even though many people are paying close attention to this aspect now, the economic efficiency is extremely low due to technological limitations. It is not a thing that can be achieved in a short period of time if you want to truly go out of the earth and into space, and realize the great dream of space mining operations.

However, for Xia Haoran, none of this is a problem.

Just like what he said to Leng Yi before, as long as he wants, he can go to the Earth's near-Earth planets at any time to explore the rich resources and minerals there. It's just that, in full view of everyone, Xia Haoran had no choice but to settle for the next best, and the huge plan he threw out at this time was purely to cover up his space mining career.
