Chapter 516: Refusal
When he disciplined Yue Fei, who was not Yue Yunfei, Niu Gao had a lot of contact with the Four Evils of the Central Plains, in order to help Yue Fei be lazy, the Four Evils racked their brains, and in terms of strength, they were not much weaker than Niu Gao at that time, and after repeated calculations and countercalculations, he gradually figured out the general characteristics of the four people. He was not surprised that Hu Zhenbei would change from a dead house that was afraid of women to what he is now.
Fortunately, being made such a fuss by Hu Zhenbei, Li Qingzhao suddenly felt that his majesty was lost, and he accelerated the efficiency of the investigation, and gave them a clean slate after a while, but it was dark after this round, so they stayed in the fortress temporarily.
"Are you all right?" Hu Zhenbei, who had been punished, came back to look for them, and there was no difference from their appearance, Chen Duyun and Ma Niancai quickly forgot about the previous incident and thanked him.
"No thanks, Brother Niu is Yue Fei's teacher, I naturally believe in him and you, then again, do you want to visit the research institute?"
Everyone shook their heads again and again, and they all saw that Hu Zhenbei seemed to be deliberately looking for a reason to be punished.
Fortunately, Hu Zhenbei didn't plan to continue to be unserious, and instead talked to a few people, but most of the officers didn't seem to look down on people like him, and they asked to retire after a while, and finally only Chen Duyun, Ma Niancai, and Niu Gao were left to talk to him.
Although the four of them were not very pleasant, the overall atmosphere was not bad.
"By the way, how is your research going?"
Chen Duyun didn't want to go to the research institute to disturb, but it didn't mean that he didn't care, Xinlan re-increased his support for the research institute in order to deal with the enemies who might be in the universe.
"Well, it's going well. When it came to the details of the institute, Hu Zhenbei was a little secretive, too, even if a layman entered it, he couldn't see the truth, but if he said it in organized words, it was possible to leak secrets.
"Would you like to go in and take a look at the institute?"
If it weren't for Hu Zhenbei who spoke first, the other three would have thought that he had mentioned it again, and after being stunned for half a second, Chen Duyun realized that this was a calm female voice.
Li Qingzhao, who was dressed in a red robe, walked over, and to be honest, she was dressed more like a model on a fashion show than a female general. But magic is such a wonderful thing, people can "please" the elements by shouting the name of the move, singing or dancing, etc., to enhance the effect of spellcasting, and at the same time to distinguish their own personality or style, and also to improve their magical ability.
A person like Niu Gao is definitely covered with armor to be handy, but Chen Duyun can't do it, although it is an acquired problem, but if he doesn't wear a white robe, he will make frequent mistakes.
And the development of magic to this day, it is no longer the era of relying on armor materials to defend, even if it is a light and fluttering layer of gauze, engraved with nano-sized inscriptions, and blessed blessings and defensive magic, the use of it is not much worse than the "armor man", and it is better in flexibility. Therefore, Li Qingzhao's dress just makes people feel a little hot and excessive, and does not question the suitability of clothes in battle.
"I don't know what General Li meant by this?" Chen Duyun subconsciously used a more formal tone, because he found that Li Qingzhao, who proposed it, did not have a joking expression, but was full of impatience.
"A message from the imperial court. Li Qingzhao reluctantly explained, "It was said that General Chen Duyun was allowed to visit the institute...... His Royal Highness Xinlan and His Royal Highness Liu Tian jointly signed it. ”
Chen Duyun didn't know how to answer for a while, it was not surprising that Liu Tian would approve him to enter the research institute, because Liu Tian had always trained him with the attitude of "I want to see how much storm you can make", but Xinlan's words, Chen Duyun subconsciously thought of the explanation of "I don't worry about him".
It's no wonder that Chen Duyun has been trying to be recognized by Xinlan instead of being protected. However, Chen Duyun quickly banished this almost negative thought from his mind and nodded.
"Okay, please ask General Li to lead the way. ”
This is a good opportunity. Chen Duyun told himself that he left Xinlan's side in order to break out of the world alone, so that he could do something for her with his own strength, but he didn't want to become unable to understand Xinlan's grand strategy because of independence, so all he could do now was to use everything.
"Please abide by the confidentiality agreement. Li Qingzhao sent him a more concise guideline to read.
"And rightfully so. ”
……
It was only Chen Duyun who approved, so the other officers stayed in the fortress, and surprisingly Li Qingzhao was also alone, and when I asked, I found out that the other officers in the fortress also did not have the authority to enter the research institute, and Li Qingzhao never opened the convenient door to satisfy the curiosity of some subordinates, and it was precisely because of her strict self-discipline that she won the respect of the army.
The same is true in the research institute, but Hu Zhenbei's explanation is that Li Qingzhao is also the deputy director of the research institute and has to respect her.
"She shouldn't interfere with the research, right?" Hearing Hu Zhenbei's slight dissatisfaction, Chen Duyun asked.
"No, but she'll fix staff violations, including lazy attitudes. ”
Chen Duyun didn't comment on this, he also knew a little about Hu Zhenbei, he also knew that this person was incompatible with Li Qingzhao in nature, but he also noticed that when Hu Zhenbei said these words, his eyes were more reminiscing than resentful, indicating that he had experienced a certain degree of rebirth after returning to the research institute.
The whispering of the two did not attract Li Qingzhao's attention, thinking that she was also used to Hu Zhenbei gossiping behind her back, and after dutifully introducing the forbidden area and precautions to Chen Duyun, she handed over the task of leading the way to visit Hu Zhenbei.
"It's night, and although some people are working overtime, it's not as busy as during the day, so I don't know what you're going to see?"
"I just want to know about your progress, and it doesn't matter if you visit or not. Chen Duyun said bluntly.
The construction of the institute is very standard, and the research room of Xiangyue College is not much different, that is, it is bigger, and some facilities are more complete.
"Now that you've got real power to get here, I can reveal some of the information to you. After hesitating for a while, Hu Zhenbei also changed his attitude at the beginning.
To put it simply, this is indeed a research institute for space tools, and the magic of mushroom bombs is nothing more than a rumor. As for the research and development of space tools, they have been going on all along, and even if the previous policy is maintained, they will be able to achieve results within the year, and now, they will probably be able to produce results in a month or two after the official start of the war with Gumeng.
"Meaning, you hope that our Northern Army can buy you more time?"
Hu Zhenbei was a little embarrassed, he went around in a big circle to vaguely express this request, but after all, he was just a technical nerd, and his kung fu in these roundabouts was extremely poor, so that Chen Duyun could easily see it.
But he still had the courage to admit it, and immediately informed Chen Duyun of the more detailed situation.
"We really don't believe that the Northern Lands will not fall, but we can't develop a complete orbital launcher and transfer it in the shortest possible time, so the result of our unanimous discussions is that we hope that the Northern Army will focus on the defense near Taiyuan. ”
This was an extremely selfish proposal, and the institute did not report the matter to the imperial court, so it had to be conveyed to Pharmacist Li through Chen Duyun in this way, hoping that he could make a decision based on the overall situation.
"He will definitely not agree, and besides, your research results are really important enough to affect the battle situation?" Chen Duyun is also a skeptic, and even Hu Zhenbei has told him the research goal of "orbital launcher", he can't judge the importance of it.
"Of course it's very important! Don't be blinded by the sayings that circulated in the West in the past, such as 'working the people and wasting money' and 'wasting taxpayers' money', with the development of magic technology to this day, the 'wall of heaven' that hinders us from flying to the universe is no longer an insurmountable danger, and how much of a blow can be dealt to the ground by mastering air supremacy, it is impossible for you, who are also of the seventh order, not to be clear. The universe of the Celestial Sphere World may be a cage, but if we stand higher, we will naturally be able to grasp more, we are already far behind Attila, the king of the universe, and if we don't catch up, it will be too late!"
The words "with a stinger on the cage" that the Roman Empire and Seuss said after their failed space race are referring to the "wall of heaven" that did not appear during the period of the United States and the United States.
Maybe it's Gaia's sanctions, maybe it's preventing humanity from polluting the universe...... In the sky after breaking through the atmosphere, there was an invisible barrier, which made the seventh-order masters who were enough to fly into space crash into the stars, and even the eighth-order powerhouses, after tearing through that barrier and flying for a while, would fall due to exhaustion.
In the end, it was Seuss who did his best to create the imperial spaceship "Xixi No. 1", driven by solid materials and magic hundreds of times that of an eighth-order powerhouse, that finally broke through that barrier, flew into the universe, and won the competition. Upon the ship's return, Seuss quickly abandoned the plan to drag down the country's economy, and neither country ever spoke of space activities.
However, after all, that was hundreds of years ago, and now that Rome has become Maro and Souss has become a vassal state of Gumon, how can magic technology stand still.
"But can you really prove that Attila's title of 'King of the Universe' isn't boasting?" asked Chen.
Hu Zhenbei definitely can't answer, Chen Duyun knows very well, because Xinlan doesn't have an answer either, this is just like how many millions of soldiers were often "claimed" during the Three Kingdoms period, it is entirely possible that it is a title that exaggerates the facts.
"It seems that His Royal Highness Xinlan didn't tell you the truth. ”
Hu Zhenbei suddenly came up with such a sentence.
"What do you mean?" Chen Duyun felt a little unhappy, but when he looked at the top-secret data displayed by Hu Zhenbei, he fell silent in an instant.
"This ...... How is that possible!"
"I don't know, His Highness Xinlan got the information from the countries that were at war with Gumeng, but if it's true, we don't have time. ”
Chen Duyun took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality and released the alpha dog at the same time, and after some calculations, he looked at Hu Zhenbei, who was full of anticipation.
"Sorry, I still can't say yes. ”
