074 Obsidian's whereabouts

Early in the morning of the second day, when Qiu Ci came out of the room on the second floor, Wang Liang was boxing in the courtyard. After seeing her come out, he beckoned to her: "Xiao Ci, come and fight with me, without my supervision, have you been lazy lately?" ”

"Where's Xiaoxue?" Qiu Ci walked up to him and practiced physical fitness, and asked casually.

"Make the kitchen and make breakfast."

"It's nice that the snow is here, I finally don't have to wake up every morning with bread, cheese and organic milk that haven't changed for thousands of years." Qiu Ji laughed.

Wang Liang felt the same way, nodded and said, "Yes, only in terms of cooking skills, Xiaoxue is not a star and a half stronger than you." At least I'd rather eat bread and cheese that hasn't changed for a thousand years than eat fresh meals that you make. ”

"Grandpa Wang, are you here to block me?" Qiu Ci's mouth twitched, he didn't even punch, and looked at the old man with unhappy eyes.

Wang Liang laughed, and when he heard Qiu Xue calling for dinner, he let go of Qiu Ci and stopped teasing her.

After breakfast, Wang Liang drove Qiu Ci to Professor Leon's residence. Entering the room, seeing that there was no one inside, Qiu Ci went directly down from the elevator to the underground laboratory, and Professor Leon really sat in front of the laboratory table in a daze.

"Mentor." Akiji walked over to him and called softly.

"Hmm" Professor Leon looked up from his deep thought, glanced at her, and continued to stare at the row of mech models on the lab table.

Qiu Ci found a chair to sit on the side, waiting quietly, not disturbing his thoughts anymore.

After a long time, Professor Leon woke up, looked up and saw Qiu Shi, and asked with a surprised face, "Why are you here?" When did it come? ”

Autumn words have long been strange, and every time Professor Leon thinks about a problem, he falls into deep thought. During the time he was in a daze, you just threw him on the ground and stepped on those two feet, and when he came back to his senses, he would only wonder why he was sitting on the ground with two more footprints on his body.

"What kind of problem does the mentor think about so devotedly?"

Professor Leon waved his hand and said, "I'm thinking about some strange things, such as why the demons are inherently much stronger than us humans? They have supernatural abilities, and their physical and mental strength far surpass that of humans, and I have always wanted to explain the strength of the demons from a scientific point of view, but in the end, I found that science cannot explain it at all. ”

Thinking of his own rebirth and the divine war system in his mind, Qiu Ci felt quite agreeable: "It is true that many things cannot be explained by science, and this may be the reason why human beings invented the word 'miracle'." ”

Leon nodded and shook his head, and sighed a little: "Before the invention of the mecha, the battle between the alliance and the demons on land has never been won, and both civilians and soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. In the past, after the demons invaded the alliance planet, they slaughtered all the inhabitants at every turn, and the methods were extremely cruel.

It wasn't until the advent of the mecha that the human race began to reverse the situation, and now the demons are no longer the opponents of the alliance, and the planets that were once occupied by the demons have been taken back by us one by one. Therefore, science is not omnipotent, but without science, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Qiu Zhi listened patiently to him before he asked, "Mentor, do you know the black alloy steel pillars in the Winster Mountains of Ninaxing?" ”

"Are you talking about the Winster Column?"

"It turns out that it's called energy-absorbing pillars, which is a fitting name, but why did the alliance government erect these pillars on the tripolar planet of Nina?" As soon as Qiu Ci heard that Professor Leon really knew, his spirit was shocked, and he immediately asked.

Professor Leon gave her a strange look, "You're from Nina, don't you know the origin of these black alloy steel columns?" ”

Qiu Ci was stunned for a moment, listening to Professor Leon's meaning, as if every Nina knew it, but unfortunately she was a pseudo-Nina, and she had always kept it a secret.

"Should everyone on Nina know?"

Professor Leon was silent for a long time before he sighed: "These energy-absorbing pillars are called the Pillars of Shame by the Nina Star people, all because more than 500 years ago, the demons invaded the alliance on a large scale. The war was so brutal that more than 300 planets were lost, including the planet Nina. ”

More than 500 years ago, the ten kings of the demon clan gathered together to gather all races to declare war on the alliance at the same time. In that war, the Alliance was caught off guard, losing more than 300 habitation stars in just three months, and by the time the Alliance recovered these fallen planets, less than a tenth of the surviving civilians on them remained.

This war was later called the War of Men and Demons, and it was this war that officially brought the mecha to the stage of history. The Alliance army relied on mecha to gradually drive all the demons out of the Pandora system. At this point, the era of mecha is coming, and the war between the demons and humans is at a disadvantage for the first time.

Qiu Ci naturally knew that this war, which lasted for half a century, broke the myth of the invincibility of the demon race, and the endless alliance heroes officially engraved their names in history one by one.

Of course, the most famous of them is not these dazzling but short-lived heroes, but the rabbit colonel Hilal, known as the rabbit master, and the thirteenth generation grandson of the direct descendants of the god of war Silva thousands of years ago. Because Colonel Hilal, the rabbit master, is the only legendary figure who must live in every battle, he not only lives alone, but all the soldiers under him can live, and there are no less.

Professor Leon continued, "The Black Pillar of Energy Absorption was not made by the Alliance, it was something left over from the Demon Race. Back then, the demons used this thing to form a group of black pillars, which were used to defend against the alliance's energy guns and energy cannons. When recovering Nina Star, the demons were about to take away the black energy-absorbing pillar left on Nina Star, but they were quietly intercepted by Colonel Hilal.

These black energy-absorbing pillars are also the only steel pillars left by the demons, and the surviving Nena people named these black pillars the Pillar of Shame to commemorate the hundreds of millions of compatriots who died, and also to remind the people of Nina not to forget the history of humiliation. ”

"The demons were able to make hard alloy steel pillars that can absorb energy 500 years ago? How is this possible? Qiu Ci never thought that the alloy steel pillar fused with obsidian elements was not a product of the Alliance, but was made by a demon clan with low technology that was not worth mentioning, which shocked her incomparably.

Professor Leon shook his silver hair, and his dark brown eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom: "This should be something that the Dikal Empire secretly made for the demons, and the demons at that time did not have the ability to make alloy steel pillars." None of this is important, the important thing is that the alloy steel column contains a strange substance, which can absorb energy significantly, and the demons rely on these strange alloy pillars to fight against the alliance's energy cannon, and the alliance will be caught off guard at the beginning and defeated so quickly. ”

"What is this substance?" Qiu Ci stared at him and asked eagerly.

"The demons call this substance obsidian, and the production is very small, only found in the Trojan gravel belt in the Ravel system. At that time, the top scientific researchers of the alliance studied for three years before discovering the substance contained in the black pillar, and sent tens of thousands of spies to infiltrate the demons, and it took a hundred years to find out these clues. ”

Professor Leon didn't understand why she was suddenly interested in the energy-absorbing column, and after telling her what she knew, he wondered, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Qiu Ci was like a frosted eggplant at this time, and she couldn't lift her spirits, she had expected that obsidian was not such an ordinary thing, but she would never have imagined that obsidian was so precious. If obsidian was only found in the Trojan Gravel Belt in the Ravel system, the task would be too difficult, and she wondered if she could really do it in three months.

Qiu Ci wanted to cry without tears, and said to Professor Leon in disgust: "I just think that if a little obsidian is added to the mecha's armor material, the mecha's ability to defend against energy cannon attacks will be greatly improved. ”

Professor Leon smiled: "Of course, it's a pity that obsidian is too precious, and the origin is in the nebula belt in the middle of the Ravel Galaxy, where demons gather, and humans will definitely die if they enter." At the beginning, the alliance never stopped sending mech teams to carry out mining missions, but no one survived, and then completely gave up. ”

"Can I buy it for the demons?" Qiu Zhi asked without giving up.

Professor Leon's white head shook like a wave drum, and he denied it in a loud voice: "As far as I know, this obsidian is the key energy source for the advanced demon race, and the number is very small, and only the high-level and above demons can use a small amount when they advance. Do you think they'll sell it to us? ”

When Autumn Ci walked out of Professor Leon's underground laboratory, his mood was mixed, and he was happy that he finally knew the origin of obsidian, and he no longer had to be confused about the direction; The worry was that the difficulty of obtaining obsidian was too great, and the big one made her almost despair.

Worried, she drove back to the garden villa, and Qiu Ji locked herself in her room, she had to sneak into the Ravel system to get enough obsidian in the past three months, which was nothing to retreat, and she couldn't bargain.

Qiu Ci thought about it for a long time, and understood that this mission of infiltrating the demon clan to steal obsidian was something she could not accomplish alone, and she had to obtain the support of the alliance government. Not to mention anything else, how to get to the Ravel system alone stumped her, and she didn't have a starmap of the route to the Ravel system.

In order to gain the absolute support of the coalition government, she needs to have enough say to influence the decisions of the upper echelons of the alliance. Professor Leon had this ability, but it was clear in his words that the military had tried to steal obsidian many times, all of which ended in failure, and finally had to give up this senseless sacrifice.

If he wants to start the plan to steal obsidian again, Akishi must give a reasonable explanation and explanation, which is precisely the secret of Akiji. And she should at least have a well-developed plan of action for infiltration, what is the success rate, what kind of cooperation is needed, what are the personnel and weapon configurations, and how to get out after succeeding......

None of these words have been thought out yet, and rashly proposing to restart the plan to steal obsidian will only make Professor Leon suspicious and think that she is messing around.

"Hey, it's time to find some partners." Qiu Ci sighed abruptly.
