Starcarrier, USS Lancet.

Deputy Captain Lin Mu saw the light and said strangely: "What is this?" ”

Xia Xiyan's expression was very strange, she didn't speak, stared at the sphere carefully, and after looking at it for a while, she ordered again: "Enlarge the image, 100 times." ”

The image is constantly zoomed in, revealing more details.

Through that layer of cold light, you can roughly see the delicate structure inside, these structures are incredibly fine, and in the black and gray environment of the nuclear explosion site, this thing looks like a pearl in the dust.

What's the use of this thing?

Why can something survive a violent nuclear explosion?

Why do those shapeshifters become brain-dead people who only take beatings and don't fight back?

These doubts linger in everyone's mind.

Looking at it, Xia Xiyan suddenly issued a series of orders.

"1 group of engineering robots set off, put that thing in the non-metallic cargo hold, and bring it back!"

"1 group, 2 groups of drone mecha warriors, all withdrawn!"

"Turn off battle image sharing!"

After these orders were issued, regardless of the incomprehensible looks of the people around him, Xia Xiyan said: "Deputy Captain Lin, I'll leave it to you first, I have to talk to the governor now." ”

"Yes, Commander." Lin Mu looked inexplicable.

Xia Xiyan walked to the special communication room, and after closing the door, she called up the image just now, and watched it over and over again, the more she looked, the more frightened she became: "Is this cold light a halo of pure energy?" Could this thing be a rhodium engine? ”

Her suspicions were not unfounded, as shapeshifters devour metal and can be ever-changing, mimicking the properties of the objects they devour, and even restoring their functions, as exemplified by the Warhawk Ship.

As far as she knew, the 3 doomsday-level powerhouses of the Red Moon Province died under the attack of the transformation monsters, and their mecha was naturally devoured, so the transformation monsters had a blueprint for imitation.

But there is a problem with this speculation.

'It's hard for shapeshifters to mimic fine structures, and the quantum engine is so complex that transformers can't reproduce them...... Wait, maybe it's not a matter of fine structure, or maybe it's just because the shapeshifters can't withstand quantum effects......"

After thinking about it, Xia Xiyan found that with her shallow knowledge, she couldn't make a conclusion about this matter, so she settled down and dialed Zhang Yuan's secret communication first.

"Dudu~" twice, Zhang Yuan's voice came from the opposite side of the communication: "Yan Yan? ”

Xia Xiyan's heart warmed, and he first passed all the videos of the encounter to Zhang Yuan, and then said, "Hurry up and watch the video." ”

About 2 minutes later, Zhang Yuan's voice sounded: "The last ball is a complete rhodium magnetic engine, but judging from the texture of the energy halo, the quality of the permeable material is not high, even if it is run, the energy conversion rate will not exceed 18%. ”

Xia Xiyan was prepared for this, but when she really heard the answer, she still felt a little frightened: "Why don't those shapeshifters move?" Is it because of this rhodium engine? ”

"There is too little information to deduce. It may be because of the rhodium magnetic engine, or it may be because of the space shock after smuggling through the high-speed channel, well, the communication time is a bit long, let's talk about this first. ”

Seeing that the communication was about to hang up, Xia Xiyan hurriedly said, "Is it useful for the earth?" ”

"It's not much use, you give it to Governor Ye and see what she does."

"Got it."

Xia Xiyan hung up the communication, her mind had settled down, and she dialed the secret communication of the governor of the province again. "Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~" After a few prompts, Ye Liuyan's soft voice came from the opposite side of the communication: "Xiyan, what's the matter?" ”

"Lord Governor, I think you should take a look at this." Xia Xiyan passed on the previous observation image.

The other side of the communication was quiet, and after a full 15 minutes, Ye Liuyan's voice sounded again: "Is the thing encapsulated?" How many people know about this? ”

Xia Xiyan immediately said: "It's already sealed, except for the fleet officers and the two groups of fighters involved in the direct operation, no one knows about the existence of this thing." ”

"You've done a great job. You now immediately send a battleship to send this thing back to the Bear Fortress, remember, be quick! The Governor's voice became a little urgent.

Xia Xiyan listened to this voice, and a strange thought suddenly rose in his heart: "Governor Ye, it seems that you have known about this for a long time?" ’

On the other side, Ye Liuyan said again: "The patrol task is entrusted to your deputy captain, Xiyan, you personally bring things back." Remember, this is a very important ball and there is no room for error. ”

Xia Xiyan didn't have time to think about it, and responded: "Yes, Lord Governor, I will send the things back to the fortress as soon as possible." ”

After turning off the communication, Xia Xiyan immediately arranged a guard war eagle, and after the ball was put into the war eagle, she gave a few words of precaution to the deputy captain Lin Mu, and then she landed on the war eagle and rushed all the way back to the giant bear fortress.

..........

Giant Bear Fortress.

After Ye Liuyan turned off the communication, a touch of red appeared on his fair and smooth cheeks, as if he was drunk.

She kept inhaling and exhaling deeply, pacing back and forth in her office, and it was easy to calm her agitated mind. After settling down, she raised her voice and said to the main control brain: "Luo Hua, you notify the Ninth Lab and let all the engineers get ready!" ”

"Yes, Governor."

"Luo Hua, is Zhang Yuan back?"

"We're on our way home, and we'll be at the Giant Bear Fort in about three hours."

"How did he perform on this mission?"

"The process is incomplete due to the lack of effective monitoring of the New Blue Castle, but from the known details, Zhang Yuan has completely eliminated the Wild Ghost, and the damage caused to the New Blue Castle is also within the acceptable range, and it has not affected the normal operation of the New Blue Castle. At the same time, he also makes the inhabitants of New Blue Castle even more intimidating to your force. ”

Ye Liuyan was overjoyed: "Oh, is it? That's pretty good. ”

She was originally worried that Zhang Yuan was too young and lacked knowledge, which would lead to a big mistake. To do this, she is ready to sacrifice the new Blue Castle. In other words, in her expectations, the new Blue Castle is for Zhang Yuan to practice, even if Zhang Yuan uses the interstellar main gun to bomb the entire New Blue Castle, she will only scold a few words at most.

Now, Zhang Yuan has performed flawlessly, showing that he has the potential to be in charge of his own affairs, which has completely exceeded her expectations. What's even better is that this Zhang Yuan is from a civilian background, has no foundation at all, and is extremely easy to control.

Such a person, as long as she is cultivated a little, will soon grow into a pillar figure who supports her career.

When she meets a good talent, she is naturally overjoyed.

"God help me Heyue, God help me Ye family, let me get such a genius, haha." Ye Liuyan laughed heartily.

Two hours later, the War Eagle, which Xia Xiyan personally controlled, was the first to return to the Giant Bear Fortress.

Ye Liuyan received the news as soon as possible, under her order, the whole operation was very low-key, the war eagle entered the port, and after the transport spacecraft took over the mysterious sphere, it went straight to Bi Mercury and sent things to the ninth laboratory 10 kilometers deep under Bi Mercury.

About half an hour later, the experimental report of Li Xianda, the experimental leader of the Ninth Laboratory, was transmitted to the main control brain Luo Hua, and Luo Hua immediately reported it to Ye Liuyan.

Ye Liuyan suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Luohua, read the report to me, don't report those boring data, just tell me, whether that thing is useful or not!" ”

"Yes, Governor." Luo Hua first projected the image of the 'sphere' into the air: "Governor, according to experimental analysis, this is an inefficient rhodium magnetic engine, and the energy conversion rate is only about 17%. ”

Ye Liuyan was taken aback: "So inefficient? Why is this happening? Did those guys lie to me? ”

"No, Governor. You take a closer look at this engine. ”

Ye Liuyan waved his hand: "I don't understand this, you can introduce it." ”

"Yes. The rhodium magnetic engine is divided into two parts, one part is the rhodium magnetic core, and its main material is the permeable material, the quality of the permeable material directly affects the energy conversion efficiency of the rhodium magnetic engine, and this is the biggest shortcoming of the rhodium magnetic engine, in which the permeability of the permeable material is very low. ”

Ye Liuyan understood: "If you replace it with Fei Leng Jade, how much can the efficiency be improved?" ”

"30.5%, on the same level as the Imperial Red Devil engine."

"Ha~" Ye Liuyan clapped his hands and laughed: "Yes, yes, this is exactly what I need." You send an order to Li Xianda and tell him to immediately design a new rhodium magnetic engine according to the structure of the rhodium magnetic engine, and minimize the rhodium magnetic engine and increase the power limit. As for the permeable material, I have my own way. ”

"Understood, Governor."

A second later, Luo Hua reported again: "Your request has been communicated, and Li Xianda replied that the sample structure is very clear, there is no bottleneck in replication, and after about 3 working days, you can get a usable engine as long as you take the magnetic permeability material." ”

Ye Liuyan laughed: "This Li Xianda, I like his temper." ”

After laughing, she said to Luo Hua: "This matter can't be hidden all the time, you remember, when our doomsday-level mecha is ready, you will issue a notice to the entire empire, and the whole process of our obtaining rhodium magnetic engine technology will be made public." It is especially important that you let the provincial governors know that if they support us, we will provide them with an unlimited amount of rhodium engines! ”

This was done in order to conceal the existence of a dark paradise.

In the starlit land, the dark paradise is the source of terror, although she secretly cooperates with them, but this matter cannot be known, otherwise it will cause everyone to panic, which is what she does not want to see, so she took great pains to make such a big show.

As for the destruction of the Red Moon Province...... The Wang family of the Red Moon Province has always been the sworn enemy of the Ye family, and the geographical location of the Red Moon Province is stuck in the key passage from the Heyue Province to the Aum Empire. If the Wang family is not removed, her cooperation with the Dark Heaven is very likely to be exposed. Without the Wang family, the future development of Heyue will also be greatly restricted.

Hundreds of millions of ordinary residents of Red Moon Province...... can only blame them for being born in the wrong place and following the wrong master.

"Do you understand, Rowie?"

"Yes, Governor!"

"When Zhang Yuan comes back, report it to me immediately." Ye Liuyan finally said, saying this, her eyes burned with raging flames.

"The Chu family, the Crimson Empire, blackmailed my Ye family for 1800 years, it's time to end all this!"
