The eighth year of the Republic of China, May 5, 1919.

A kilometer away, the military fortress of Versailles, the town tomb beast factory.

In the morning, the Qin father and son met Baron Wolfe. This White Russian nobleman with a Germanic face, yesterday he talked through the vent of the secret room, and saw that real people were very different from what he imagined.

Franz von Wolf thanked Qin Beiyang for his kindness, and the two chatted in German. The self-proclaimed representative of Admiral Kolchak spoke of distant Russia, which would have been defeated if he had not been able to attend the Paris Peace Conference and gain the support of the Entente.

"But are you a victor or a defeated nation?"

This question made Baron Wolf ponder for a long time: "On the way from Siberia to Paris, passing the headland of the Golden Horn, I looked at the splendid dome of Hagia Sophia, like a huge tomb standing on a hill. There are British and French warships anchored in the bay, just as China is called the "sick man of East Asia" and Turkey is the "sick man of Eurasia", the only difference between it and China is that in the war that has just ended, you are the victorious country, and they are the defeated country. As for the price of defeat, it is that the land will be dismembered and the nation will perish. ”

"Then your answer is ......"

"Russia is defeated! Utterly defeated! ”

Qin Beiyang sighed: "But is China a victorious country or a defeated country?" If Japan gets Qingdao, I'm afraid we will also be completely defeated. ”

"Don't talk about that!" The baron took out the picture in his wallet: "This is my wife and children, her name is Katya, and the child's name is Konstantin, they did not escape from Petrograd with me, and their whereabouts are now unknown." ”

The woman in the photo is beautiful, although it is black and white, but blonde hair can be seen from the shade of color. She held a boy of three or four years old, dressed in a small sailor suit, and at first glance it was a noble house.

"Mr. Baron, I believe they are still alive."

"Thank you!"

Soon, Qin Beiyang saw the two tomb beasts in the factory.

One is a four-winged angel, who just returned from the Louvre yesterday after being captured by Qin Beiyang. Despite the fact that the tank was hit and exploded, the main structure was intact. As long as the heart of the Tomb Beast remains, no matter how its form changes, it will live forever in the world.

The other, the Ten Horns and Seven Heads, was even more damaged. Karl Holstein has completed the drawings for the retrofit. Qin Beiyang hurriedly glanced at it, three hundred and sixty degrees of three-dimensional lines without dead ends, a brand-new ten-cornered seven-headed tomb beast, like the resurrected An Lushan, the beast that crawled out of the underground palace, jumped in his heart.

However, they decided to preemptively repair the Four-Winged Tomb Beast, and it was clear that the French valued flying in the sky more.

The doctor developed a repair plan. Qin Beiyang said some mechanical terms in German to accurately judge the problem of parts. At Kyoto No. 3 High School, he often went to the library to borrow specialized books. Holstein praised him and said that after the mission was completed, he would write a letter recommending him to study in the mechanical department of a German university. Qin Beiyang thought to himself, you are, Dr. Holstein was ruined in Europe long ago, and the recommendation letter is a fart.

Walking into an enclosed room, there is a huge machine with an extremely strong current. The Doctor told Nine to walk over to the machine, which alertly ducked behind its owner. Qin Beiyang hurriedly asked what this thing was? Holstein replied: "Roentgen rays." ”

"German physicist Röntgen?"

"Also known as X-rays." "X-rays are streams of particles produced by the transition of electrons between energy levels with very different energies, electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between ultraviolet and γ rays, first discovered by Roentgenium, which can penetrate many substances, including the human body, wood and even steel, and can also sensitize photographic negatives." ”

"You want to X-ray the inner workings of the Nine Colors?" Qin Beiyang hugged his nine-colored red mane, "I heard that X-rays are harmful to the human body, and unless there is a real disease, it is not advisable to take more photos." ”

"X-rays are not only medical, but also used for industrial flaw detection. It is said that in the Louvre Museum, archaeologists take X-rays of ancient Egyptian mummies to understand the internal structure of the mummies. Gravemons are not living creatures, and X-rays do no damage. ”

"You think it's a mummy?"

"Beiyang, I also want to know, what kind of tomb beast is your nine colors?" This time, even Lao Qin sided with the doctor, "Why is it different from all the other tomb beasts?" You see, whether it's ten horns and seven heads or four-winged angels, they all have to be mechanized by us. But your nine colors can automatically return to the state in the dungeon. ”

Qin Beiyang looked at the nine-colored eyes - open the secret of this young unicorn town tomb beast, maybe he can also open the secret of Li Longqi, the little prince of the Tang Dynasty!

He whispered to the nine-colored ear: "Don't be afraid! You and I live and die together! ”

The cub stared, unable to refuse its master's command.

Everyone retreated to the outside of the small room, and Nine Colors came to the X-ray machine tremblingly. Dr. Holstein turned on the electricity, and the room made a strange noise. Qin Beiyang felt that his heart was pinched, and he didn't know if the ray power was too strong? Or are you too sensitive?

The Doctor took nine shots of Nine Colors in a row, from various angles and various parts, without missing any details, and this was also the first X-ray of the Tomb Beast in history.

Qin Beiyang brought out the nine colors and carefully checked it to see if it was uncomfortable. Except for a slight nervousness, it seems that everything is business as usual. Holstein hung X-rays on nine light boxes and looked at them like a doctor looking at a patient's internal organs. Qin Beiyang and his father put their heads together, and Jiuse was also curious to see what the inside of his body looked like?

"Oh God!"

Dr. Holstein, who did not believe in God, could not help but cry out in the name of God. The interior of the nine colors in the X-ray image does not have the various gears and mechanisms common to tomb beasts, but looks like a real animal, with dozens of ribs, a pair of lung lobes, a stomach pouch, a crooked intestine, and a long vertebrae......

It's not made by craftsmen, it's a natural life!

"There is living tissue inside the Nine Colors!" Dr. Holstein went from horror to frowning, and came to the tentative conclusion that "it's a mysterious creature that lives inside a bronze shell. ”

The X-rays also showed sexual organs, apparently immature, proving that it was a young animal, equivalent to an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

"Yes, it's a male." Qin Beiyang's lips were trembling, "Nine colors are living beasts? ”

He pointed to the last X-ray - the grave beast had two hearts!

I've never seen anything like it, one with a large heart and one with a small heart, side by side in the chest.

Qin Customs saw it: "The big heart, judging from the shape of the folds on the surface, is the spirit stone of the tomb beast. ”

"So, Nine Colors is both a living animal and a tomb beast. Because it has both the heart of a living body and the spirit stone that provides power for thousands of years. ”

"It also has the soul of the tomb owner, as well as the artificial shell of the tomb beast, and some artificial organs."

Lao Qin found that in the throat of the nine colors, the X-ray showed an ignition device - the invisible glass fireball that killed people was sprayed from here.

"And its antlers, which are usually hidden in the head, are mostly real lifeforms, so they can be retracted freely, and they become larger than the entire tomb beast when fighting."

The doctor looked back at the nine colors and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" ”

"Wait, look, what's here?"

Qin Beiyang was still sharp-eyed, and found that in the seventh X-ray, he shot down the nine-colored back from top to bottom, and found that on both sides of the vertebrae, close to the neck, there were two layers of folded shadows.

"It's ......"

"Wings!"

Lao Qin gave an authoritative answer to the hereditary royal craftsmen.
