Chapter 27: Observation
Tongwan City, the capital of the Kingdom of Kyushu, four Qu and eight streets, thousands of households, bustling, profitable.
The Privy Council, the Hall of Military Aircraft, a military meeting of the highest level is about to be held.
On the east and west sides of the giant long conference table sat Ji, Yan, Jing, Qing, Xu, Yu, Yang, Liang eight state generals and the Galactic Alliance envoy Xin Yuan Xiaoxing, the chief scientist of the Kyushu Kingdom, a total of ten people, the north and south ends of the conference table were empty of a luxurious throne, and in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall on the north side stood a strange man in the generalissimo's uniform, about fifty years old, he was calmly admiring the scenery outside the window, thoughtfully, this strange man was the regent of the Kyushu Kingdom Hao Lian Aliluo, All of them were waiting for someone.
After a while, a staff officer-like major general officer hurriedly pushed the door in, walked to Hao Lian Aliluo's side and whispered a little, and then quietly exited the door.
Hao Lian Aliluo laughed at himself, walked straight to the luxurious throne on the north side of the table and sat down, waved his hand and said, "Don't wait for King Yong, let's have a meeting now!" Master Zuo, it starts with you. ”
The King of Yong mentioned by Hao Lian Aliluo is his own brother Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a, the supreme administrator and military governor of Yongzhou Province of the Kyushu Kingdom, and the first deputy commander of the military forces of the Kyushu Kingdom and the actual controller of the "Kyushu Legion".
Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a and Hao Lian Ali Luo are the two most capable of the eleven children of Hao Lian Kyushu, the king of the Kyushu Kingdom, and they are also the two most powerful contenders for the throne. Seven years ago, after Hao Lian Kyushu was sick and bedridden, he issued an edict envisaging Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a as King Yong and the first deputy commander, directly commanding the 300,000 elites of the most elite "Kyushu Legion" in the Kyushu Kingdom, and taking charge of military power on behalf of Hao Lian Kyushu; He named Hao Lian Aliluo as the regent and the second deputy commander, and exercised the right to govern the country on behalf of Hao Lian Kyushu in the capital of Tongwancheng, and controlled the 50,000 forbidden troops in the royal city.
In terms of ability, Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a is more comprehensive and stronger, whether it is leading troops to fight wars or governing the country, cultural and martial arts, he is a first-class expert, an all-rounder who is in and out of the phase, belongs to the overlord and the hero, and is domineering; On the other hand, although Hao Lian Aliluo is slightly inferior in ability, he is gentle and humble, kind-hearted, open-minded, and kind to others, belonging to the category of benevolent monarchs and holy lords, and he is a king, and he has won the trust and love of the old king and the people of Limin, and his reputation is not a little higher than that of his brother.
Of course, if you have strong ability, you are a good king, Hao Lian Mu Zhanga is undoubtedly the best candidate, but it is a pity that the title of "good king" is a complex model, and there are too many factors that need to be examined.
As the so-called "both Shengyu and He Shengliang", as Hao Lian Kyushu's condition worsens, his body and bones are not as good as day by day, it can be seen that time is running out, and the competition for the throne is becoming increasingly hot.
Hearing the regent's order, the chief scientist Zuo Shishi stood up from his seat and answered, "Yes, Your Highness!" ”
I saw that Master Zuo picked up a remote control board on the table and pressed it, and a lifting platform rose from the center of the conference table, on which were displayed two blaster guns, four bodyless swords, two-faced beast swallowing shields, two pairs of mountain pattern armor, a stack of ancient animal skins, and an unprecedented stringless bow tire.
Zuo Shishi looked around and said: "Let me introduce myself first, I am the chief military researcher of the Academy of Military Sciences of the Kyushu Kingdom Zuo Shishi, some of the generals here may have seen me, and some may not have seen me, but it doesn't matter, we will have a lot of opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
"As we all know, in June of the 57th year of Taijia, the Qinghe underground city of the Southern Siberian wilderness was discovered, and a large number of ancient weapons were excavated and sold as cultural relics, especially blasters, which appeared as early as early August in the antique street of Tongwan City. The 'Datong Qianzhuang series of robberies' that started in Jizhou in early October gave us our first glimpse of the power of blaster guns. ”
"At the behest of His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Regent, an in-depth study of these ancient weapons flowing into Kyushu from different channels began in late November, and there are some phased discoveries and conclusions. Since the results of these research are related to ancient weapons, I would like to invite the top military commanders of each state to come and observe them today, and by the way, I would like to hear the opinions of the generals. ”
"Next, let me invite Mr. Zhang Xuangen, the thirty-first generation descendant of the Taiji Sect and the national treasure-level master of the inner family, and Mr. Zhang Fengming, the closed disciple of Mr. Zhang Xuangen." Master Zuo applauded, and everyone applauded one after another.
I saw an old man with fairy bones, white hair and white eyebrows, dressed in yellow robes, and an old man with a sturdy body, a gray beard, and wearing a purple robe, walked out of the side hall, saluted the regent and everyone one after another, and then stood silently aside.
Master Zuo operated the remote control panel again, let the lifting platform move to a position within his reach, and then picked up a blaster from the lifting platform, "Before, everyone only knew that this blaster can kill people without bullets, but they didn't understand the principle, we have done a lot of investigation and experiments, and found some interesting patterns. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Shishi took the blaster gun and walked to the west end near the glass curtain wall and stood still, raising his gun to aim at the glass curtain wall, "This glass curtain wall is made of reinforced bulletproof glass, which can resist the direct bombardment of the 500 mm large-caliber chemical energy cannon, now I will shoot at it." ”
The left division held the gun in both hands, broke the flintlock device, and pulled the trigger several times without any movement.
"I've tried to pull the trigger, but I can't pull it, which means I can't trigger the blaster," Zuo Shishi looked around, "May I ask all the generals here, who also wants to come up and test the gun?" ”
All the people in the seat raised their hands.
"It seems that the generals are still very enthusiastic about trying, very good," Zuo Shishi smiled, "Then let's start with General Yang Zhaoye of Jizhou here!" ”
Yang Zhaoye of Jizhou quickly came up, took over the blaster from the left division, and began to try, but to no avail; Then came up Yanzhou Sima Long, but to no avail; A moment later, including the Galactic Alliance's envoy Xin Yuan Xiaoxing, they all tried one by one, but no one was able to pull the blaster.
"Now I'll hand over the gun to Mr. Zhang Xuangen." Zuo Shishi was still smiling, and motioned for Zhang Xuangen to step forward to test the gun.
Zhang Xuangen walked over and took the blaster handed by the left master, and also aimed the gun at the glass curtain wall on the west side with both hands, with a little luck, the vitality of his body surged and put it out at the palms of both hands, and then he pulled the trigger.
Unlike Zuo Shishi, after Zhang Xuangen pulled the trigger of the blaster, the blaster became like a transparent crystal material, and was lit by the mysterious light blue light that constantly gathered in the position of the gun's chamber, and the exquisite dark lines all over the gun's body were fully revealed, and at this moment, Zhang Xuangen's whole body was also shrouded in a faint mist.
"Whew!"
A bright light blue energy bullet shot out from the blaster, hitting the glass curtain wall with a "boom", but failed to break it, leaving only a clearly visible white bullet mark on it, and the light blue light at the barrel of the gun disappeared, and the blaster returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
"Oops!"
"Awesome!"
"W-That's not true, is it?"
The state generals present were all amazed and moved.
"Very good, thank you Mr. Zhang Xuangen!" Master Zuo waved his hand to signal that Zhang Xuangen was okay, and stepped forward to take back the blaster from his hand, "I almost forgot to tell everyone here that Teacher Zhang Xuangen is one hundred and forty years old this year, and he is a practitioner of Tai Chi Channeling and Guwu 'Tai Chi Boxing', and he has been practicing Tai Chi Guiding Technique and 'Tai Chi Boxing' for one hundred and twenty years, and his cultivation is said to have entered." Refining and refining the Qi realm, the ancient martial arts cultivators who have reached this stage can release the vitality on their bodies, and everyone has also witnessed that layer of mist with their own eyes just now, and now it can be determined that Teacher Zhang Xuangen can shoot the blaster gun. ”
"Praise!" Zhang Xuangen bowed modestly, and then walked back to his original position and stood still.
"Next, please ask Mr. Zhang Fengming to come forward and test the gun!" Master Zuo said, "Teacher Zhang Fengming is ninety-five years old this year, and the practice time of Tai Chi Channeling and 'Tai Chi Boxing' is second only to Teacher Zhang Xuangen. ”
Zuo Shishi said, handed the blaster gun to Zhang Fengming, Zhang Fengming took the blaster gun, pointed the gun at the glass curtain wall with his right hand, and broke the flintlock device, although he also ran the vitality of his body, but there was no layer of mist that Zhang Xuangen had just shrouded his body, and then he tried to shoot, but like Zuo Shishi, no matter how hard he exerted, he failed to pull the trigger of the blaster gun.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Fengming returned the gun to the left division, and then returned to the original position.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang Fengming!" Zuo Shishi took the blaster and said: "In addition to Yongzhou, we have done a survey in eight states across the country, and the number of people participating in the investigation is more than one million, and the people who can trigger this blaster are only ninety-two, which can be described as one in ten thousand, and these ninety-two people have two common characteristics: first, these people are either senior qi practitioners such as Teacher Zhang Xuangen, or pure martial artists who have practiced martial arts for many years and can control qi, we are collectively referred to as 'ancient martial arts practitioners' for the time being; Ancient martial arts practitioners' can condense the vitality into essence and release it to the body. ”
