In a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere, Zhang Yuan ended the meeting with Chu Muping.

When Chu Muping's virtual image disappeared, he turned his head to look at Chu Mulian beside him.

At this time, where did the Sixth Imperial Lady still have the original aura on her body, in front of him, she was silent, cautious, and tried her best to shrink her sense of existence, as if she was a little rabbit who had lost her master.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yuan picked up the wine glass, poured a glass for himself and Chu Mulian, and then took a sip of the wine glass.

Chu Mulian kept her head down, her thick long hair hanging down, sliding down from the side of her slender neck, and finally hanging down on her chest.

To be honest, the bloodline of the royal Chu family is really excellent. In terms of beauty, Zhang Yuan has seen too many beauties, Yu Linglong and Lu Meng are unforgettable at first sight, but in terms of exquisite appearance, no one can compare with Chu Mulian.

This royal princess is like a finely carved white jade statue, and without pretentiousness, she naturally shows a noble and elegant temperament.

Zhang Yuan put the wine glass on the table, and suddenly said, "Your eldest brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to be the prince." ”

Chu Mulian paused slightly, and then said: "The future situation is unpredictable, didn't the governor just say the same?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly: "It's okay if you can't become an emperor." Once he takes that position, and stands on the side of the interests of the empire, then he and I become mortal enemies. ”

I don't know why, after hearing this, Chu Mulian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, her eyes were red, and a tear fell down, she reached out and wiped it, and she was already a little choked: "When I was a child, my eldest brother was very good to me, taking me everywhere in the starry sky, I used to naively think that our brother and sister could be close for a lifetime, I didn't expect that I would become a tool in his hands." I didn't expect that I could only watch him go to a dead end. ”

Deep down, she knew that what Zhang Yuan said was right.

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, he listened, this ice and snow smart imperial princess's vision was much sharper than Chu Muping's, if she had been by Chu Muping's side, he would not have been able to get such a big benefit from Chu Muping.

For the price of just two trillion star shields, you can get the highest technology in the empire, where can you find such a good thing?

The tears in Chu Mulian's eyes couldn't stop overflowing, she didn't wipe them, so a drop of tears flowed down her red cheeks like pearls, dripping to the ground, and shattered.

"The eldest brother is just a middle-aged person, and the biggest advantage of his personality is that he is cautious, and it is enough to do small things, but it is far from enough to achieve big things. The father saw this clearly, and only then did he dare to make him the commander of the gray guard. Now, in order to compete for the position of the prince, he is plotting with the tiger but he doesn't know it, and I can only watch him go to destruction step by step, which makes me feel embarrassed! ”

Zhang Yuan took a sip of wine: "I'm not a tiger. ”

Chu Mulian turned her head to look at Zhang Yuan, she pursed her lips tightly, there seemed to be a decisive look in her eyes, and after a few minutes, she suddenly said: "Governor, you said before that Heyue would become the back road of the eldest brother, is it true or false?" ”

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Her Royal Highness the princess can't judge?" ”

Chu Mulian let out a long sigh: "What you said is true. However, once the eldest brother loses the battle for the throne and comes to Heyue, he will immediately become your puppet. You will fight for unification under the banner of the Imperial Prince. In this way, Hayue has at least some legitimacy in name. ”

"I can't hide anything from the princess. Speaking of which, I wish your eldest brother had persisted a little longer, so that I would have more time to prepare. ”

As he was talking, Zhang Yuan's communication suddenly rang, he looked at the communication and chose to connect it.

'Di~' There was a soft sound, and a holographic figure appeared in the air in front of Zhang Yuan's table, this person was very short, just over one meter and in his early sixties, and his face was ugly, it was Li Xianda.

When he appeared, his face was excited, as if he had some good news to tell Zhang Yuan, but he soon saw Chu Mulian on the side, and his face immediately showed hesitation, as if he was concerned about her existence.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Li Qing, just say it, the princess won't talk nonsense when she hears it." ”

Li Xianda had no worries, he moved his hand, and a light blue ball appeared, the diameter of this ball was about ten centimeters, the surface was very smooth, and if you looked closely, it seemed to be a little translucent, and the internal lines seemed to be changing every moment, which was very peculiar.

As soon as Chu Mulian saw this orb, he let out a low exclamation: "Chaos Bronze!" ”

Li Xianda's face showed a look of pride: "Lord Governor, this is a standard unit of Chaos Bronze Crystal. We tested its properties, especially low-temperature resistance and structural strength, which were at least 50% higher than we needed. This material can fully meet the needs of the core components of the 'Nebula Heart' engine. In fact, the usable Nebula Heart has already been assembled, and we are currently testing its performance, and in just a month, we will have a full-fledged and reliable dark energy engine. ”

A hint of joy finally appeared on Zhang Yuan's face, which had been as calm as water, and he asked, "What do you estimate the maximum output of Chaos Bronze?" ”

Li Xianda had already prepared, and immediately said: "Lord Governor, judging from the operation of the quark furnace, it can stably produce 375 tons of Chaos Bronze per day. These materials can create at least 15 Nebula Hearts, of course, we are still fully researching the core components such as the 9D gyroscope in the quark furnace, and from the current progress, we will definitely be able to produce our own quark furnace in half a year. When the time comes, the production of Chaos Bronze will immediately be greatly increased! ”

"That's really good news."

Zhang Yuan listened refreshedly, this Li Xianda is really a big mechanical genius, with him, Heyue's scientific and technological level is advancing day by day.

Well, Li Xianda's current mental strength is already in the upper stage of the apocalypse, and he has to find a way to make him break through to the god of war level, and at that time, this guy will definitely give him a bigger surprise.

Thinking so, he said, "Very well, you keep trying." What are the needs in the laboratory, what talents are needed, tell me immediately. I will do everything in my power to be satisfied. In addition, I will allocate 500 million Star Shield's personal funds, which you can freely distribute. ”

The reward of 500 million star shields, as well as the huge authority, are enough to show that Zhang Yuan attaches great importance to him, but these are not what Li Xianda really wants, he rubbed his hands, and a somewhat obscene smile appeared on his ugly face: "Lord Governor, I personally don't have any need for these rewards. I just want to ask, when will we start building our own forge? ”

To his extent, the greatest pursuit in life is not money and beauty, but to create the most high-end machinery, and today's universe, which makes every engineer dream of it, is to build a furnace of magnetic conductive materials.

If the God of War-level mecha is the crown of the interstellar industry, then the God of War engine is the most precious pearl in the crown, and the Creation Furnace is the artifact that polishes this pearl!

This is the dream of every talented engineer, and it is also the biggest challenge.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yuan didn't react, Chu Mulian on the side was startled, and her chair made a soft sound, which attracted the attention of the two.

Chu Mulian had a look of surprise on her face, and when she saw the two of them looking over, she said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I can't react a little." ”

Li Xianda only had construction machinery, he didn't think much about it, turned his head and continued to look at Zhang Yuan eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and promised: "When our first usable Nebula Battleship is built, and we can hunt the Black Scale Desolate Dragon in the Nebula, then I will pay you to build a furnace." ”

Li Xianda's eyes lit up suddenly: "Is this true?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, Governor, that this furnace is a bottomless pit. I know that the Federation has also launched one, and it is said that more than 20 trillion star shields have been burned, and Mao has not seen a single one so far. ”

Zhang Yuan laughed: "That's because they don't have talent." I'm sure if you do this, it's going to be a lot faster than it is now. Moreover, my words must count, as long as the Nebula battleship is mature, I will definitely allocate money and fully support it! ”

Li Xianda was satisfied: "That's no problem." Wait, I'll be sure to build a Nebula battleship that satisfies you as soon as possible! ”

With that, he hurried away.

As soon as he left, Chu Mulian looked at Zhang Yuan fiercely: "Nebula Battleship? Federation? Zhang Yuan, who are you? What exactly are you trying to do? Why can't I understand your words? ”

Zhang Yuan laughed, if it was half a year ago, he would definitely hide the Earth Federation very well, but now, after his large blood transfusion, the power of the Earth Federation has been greatly improved, and the Dark Shura Kingdom no longer has a crushing advantage.

The strength accumulated by Heyue has also reached the point where he can compete with the Crimson Empire, and he himself has also broken through to the realm of divine transformation, even in the face of the imperial god of war Wang Qianyuan, he is confident that he will draw with the battle, or even win.

What's more, after this period of integration, Heyue has been completely controlled by him, so at this time, he has no scruples about revealing his identity.

As for Chu Mulian, he let her know these secrets, and naturally there were considerations.

He looked at the six princesses of the empire seriously: "Your Highness, you are a genius, you have amazing talents. I appreciate it very much, and I used to be afraid of it. ”

Chu Mulian looked puzzled, not knowing what Zhang Yuan wanted to do.

Zhang Yuan continued: "If this continues, there will be a war between Heyue and the empire. However, with Heyue's current strength, there is still no advantage over the Empire, and we need more advanced technology....... You know the core secrets of the Empire very well, so I need your help. ”

Chu Mulian was taken aback: "What did you say?" You're going to make me betray my family? ”

This is simply ridiculous!

Zhang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Then do you want to be your eldest brother's tool for the rest of your life, until you lose your use value, and sink in the corner of Blue Mercury for the rest of your life, until you rot in obscurity?" ”

"I ......" Chu Mulian subconsciously wanted to refute, but then, the experience of following her eldest brother to travel through the sea of stars when she was young flew through her mind like a movie.

If it were me, I wouldn't be so stupid. ’

If I do, I'll do it better." ’

'God, how could a man make such a low-level mistake. ’

'Why doesn't my eldest brother listen to me, why can't he see clearly?' ’

This is the most thought she has along the way, many things, she can see through at a glance, but those who do things are stupidly like a blind person, stupidly spinning around there without knowing it, and she wants to replace her.

Especially her eldest brother Chu Muping, to be honest, if she wasn't his own sister and had a deep relationship, she would really laugh at her.

No way, this is the absolute crushing of IQ.

The only pity is that she has always been too young to be taken seriously, and when she finally grew up, she was pledged by her eldest brother to Bi Mercury as a person, became a prisoner, and had no ideas.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sneak back to the Empire?" Chu Mulian asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Is there a place for you in the empire?" You have wisdom, but you have no strength, no power, no prestige, the eldest prince and the second prince are also outstanding people, and if you go there, it is not much better than being a hostage with me. ”

In the end, Zhang Yuan said: "If you agree, if your eldest brother is in danger one day, I will personally rescue him!" ”

Chu Mulian pursed her lips, all kinds of thoughts swirled fiercely in her mind, and after more than ten minutes, she let out a long breath: "I can't serve you as the sixth princess of the empire. ”

"It's okay to change your identity, what I need is your wisdom, not your identity."

Hearing this, Chu Mulian's big eyes lit up slightly, and then, she stood up, walked in front of Zhang Yuan, and gave a military salute: "Lord Governor, I am willing to serve you!" ”
