148. Energy weapons

"Why do you seem to have changed all of a sudden......" Li Mengdie looked at Zhao Li's high-spirited face, as if something had changed, but she couldn't see it for the time being, and she was very surprised: "I can't say it." What happened? ”

"Isn't that bad?" Zhao Li didn't answer, but asked Li Mengdie instead.

"That's good." Li Mengdie looked at Zhao Li, stepped forward and gently leaned on his chest, buried her head in his chest, and could hear his heartbeat: "You have not been normal since you came back, I am so worried, it is good now." After listening to Zhao Li's heartbeat for a while, Li Mengdie asked again: "Is it because of those municipal axe officials?" ”

"I'll let them die." Zhao Li smiled: "What does it have to do with me, I just arrived and had an accident, I didn't know in advance, I can't count it on my head." ”

"In the future, for whatever reason, don't do that kind of stupid thing again, okay?" Li Mengdie still hugged Zhao Li tightly, as if she was afraid that he would grow wings and fly now.

"Don't worry!" Zhao Li also wrapped his arms around him, gently hugged Li Mengdie, hugged him, and felt the coolness and softness on Li Mengdie's body: "I just made a breakthrough in your advanced foundation laying technique, but there is no way to determine whether the cultivation direction is right or not, and I will tell you when I am sure." ”

"Are you tampering with your cultivation methods?" Li Mengdie suddenly broke out of Zhao Li's arms: "You, you're crazy!" Do you know how dangerous tampering with the exercises is? ”

Zhao Li didn't expect Li Mengdie to have such a violent reaction, and he was a little at a loss: "What's the matter, it's just a foundation laying exercise, don't make such a fuss, right?" ”

But the anxiety on Li Mengdie's face was even more intense, as if she was about to cry: "How can this be? Is there something on your body that doesn't feel right? Tell me, I'll consult with our instructor! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and stroked and patted Zhao Li's body, as if to determine whether Zhao Li was injured.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhao Li grabbed Li Mengdie's wandering hands, pulled them in front of him, and slowly put them on his face, letting Li Mengdie's hands caress his face. Bowing his head slightly, he looked at the delicate anxious face that was close at hand: "It's just a test, nothing serious." ”

"Are you really okay?" Li Mengdie looked up at Zhao Li's eyes with a small face: "Don't lie to me." ”

"Is there anything I can talk to you like that?" Zhao Li laughed more and more easily: "It's really fine." ”

After confirming that Zhao Li didn't seem to be lying, Li Mengdie relaxed: "There was a student in our same period, who also wanted to modify the practice during the foundation laying period, but there was a problem, and his body was directly paralyzed and unable to move. The instructors of the academy tried their best to get him back, and finally had to drop out. ”

There has been such a thing before, no wonder Li Mengdie is in such a hurry. Zhao Li was also slightly shocked in his heart, there were such serious consequences for modifying the exercises. But then he was immediately relieved, when he first entered the academy, he hadn't even completed the foundation, and it was of course dangerous to want to tamper with the exercises. I completely forgot that my basic fitness technique also changed when I laid the foundation.

"Okay!" Zhao Li could only give a guarantee against his will, comforting Li Mengdie: "I will never try it in the future, don't worry!" While speaking, I couldn't help but think about when to use the upper dantian.

During the meal, the soldiers did not have any special feelings when they saw Zhao Li. On the contrary, it was Yelin and Sanders who stared at Zhao Li for a long time, and that kind of gaze staring at something new made Zhao Li very uncomfortable. Stared back fiercely: "What's the matter, do I have anything to look at?" ”

"Today's you, a little different." Sanders said, and the night presence next to him also nodded.

When Sanders spoke, his eyes were still staring at Zhao Li without blinking, and he felt it for a long time before he spoke again: "It seems to be more calm, but it is also more aggressive, which is a strange feeling." ”

Calm and aggressive, but two relatively contradictory feelings, Zhao Li pouted when he heard this, shook his head, and ignored Sanders, a guy who was full of nonsense. But strangely, even the night presence next to him agrees with Sanders and keeps nodding.

Could it be that this is the change of the two dantians at the same time? Zhao Li didn't know, but he didn't want Li Mengdie to worry, so he stared at Sanders fiercely, signaled him to shut up, and then silently began to eat.

Zhao Li knew that if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, so although he has been thinking about the third dantian, he did not put it into practice, but began to slowly master the feeling of two true qi at the same time.

The name of Madman Zhao has spread throughout the entire Golden Five Star City, and the incident of that day finally ended with Wen Tianming being put on trial. In court, for the first time, the judges received the support of everyone in black and white, and solemnly and solemnly sentenced Wen Tianming to life imprisonment. And his arrested henchmen were also sentenced to prison terms ranging from five years to life imprisonment for more or less crimes.

During the public trial, Wen Tianming never said a word. There was neither a rebuttal nor a confession. However, the evidence is overwhelming, and there is no room for turning around the charge of armed drug trafficking. The moment he heard the verdict, Wen Tianming suddenly fell down in the courtroom, his whole body convulsed, foaming at the mouth, and let out a burst of indistinct moans. After struggling for a moment, he didn't even have time to wait for the ambulance to arrive, and ended his life in agony.

People with gold five stars more or less know a little bit about the characteristics of drugs, and they also know the symptoms of drug abuse. In Wen Tianming's case, without the need for forensic autopsy, everyone can conclude that a typical drug addiction is too big, and then it is suddenly stimulated by a verdict, which will lead to sudden cardiac arrest and death.

This kind of addiction can only be caused by long-term and high-dose drug use. Originally, some people wondered if the military had done something, but the military had only detained Wen Tianming for a month, and no matter how much he injected him with drugs, he would not be able to achieve this addiction.

In the end, it came to the conclusion that this Wen Tianming not only sold drugs by himself, but also took drugs, and finally ended up with such a fate. Harming others and harming oneself is a lesson from the past. It is said that after Wen Tianming's death, almost all the sellers involved in drug trafficking in the Golden Five Star area with a certain share, including the people of the Tiger and the Black Dragon Society, began to consciously abide by a rule, drug traffickers will never touch drugs themselves. As for those who rely on drug trafficking to raise drugs, they are just petty fights, and no one cares.

The matter of the black prison also came to an end with Wen Tianming's death due to drug addiction. And Zhao Li's name as a resolute Zhao madman has also become famous throughout the region. Even the Tigers and the Black Dragon Society had received a warning from above that they were not allowed to bang anyone in the barracks.

After this incident, everyone can see that in fact, Zhao Li is very easy to get along with, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and I have never seen him take the initiative to fight drugs. The Black Dragon Society and the Tiger are both armed drug traffickers, but Zhao Li never takes the initiative to provoke. Of course, there are two forces that should not be underestimated, but the key is that they did not provoke Zhao Li. This rule, everyone tacitly abides by it, and no one will be okay to mess with this short-term Zhao madman.

The Acting Parliament was also successfully convened. As Kang Hongyuan expected, at the conference, others almost deliberately approached Kang Hongyuan and pulled relations, and directly unanimously approved Kang Hongyuan's position as acting speaker. However, Zhao Li thought about it, this is probably also to give Zhao Li his own face, after all, no matter what, Kang Hongyuan has only one person, although he is known as the nominal speaker, but he has no henchmen in the various key departments below.

As for how Kang Hongyuan maneuvered among these people, it depended on Kang Hongyuan's own means. What Zhao Li is worried about is that next, whether James's industry can proceed normally is the key.

However, the news from James surprised Zhao Li at the same time, and at the same time, there was also an urge to ask what industry they were in from James and Yelin.

I just got the news that because the planet has been reduced to a war zone, ordinary civilian transport ships can't pass through it at all. No one would be stupid enough to cross the rebel blockade to the edge planet.

However, what surprised Zhao Li was here. According to James's news, the financier who invested in them, the big investor, actually paid privately, raised the price to ten times, and directly hired nearly forty supply ships, as well as two frigates, and transport ships loaded with a large number of equipment ordered by James, together to form a huge fleet, with full energy and fuel supplies, directly bypassing the traveling planet and heading towards the edge planet.

The cost of this trip, according to the tenfold increase in freight plus the price of energy and supplies, and the high insurance of all the crew and ships, is said to be a hundred times the value of the equipment itself.

Zhao Li is not a businessman, but he also understands that investment must be rewarded. Such an obvious thing, if James's estate is not worth it, rich people are not necessarily fools, and it is not appropriate to take money.

"James, Night, I think you can now announce what you plan to produce?" Zhao Li sat opposite James, and watched James come to the two of them with Kang Hongyuan.

It was another meeting of the small group, and everyone was present except for Kristine.

"If you don't ask, I'll say it too." At this moment, James is completely like a corporate executive, and he has nothing to do with the fierce flight expert before. The transformation of temperament is very magical, but under his disguise, Zhao Li can still feel the bloody evil aura that came out of the army.

Everyone is sitting in danger, this is related to the fate of everyone, Kang Hongyuan has already keenly guessed something before, and decisively linked his political future to him, even at the expense of a place like the edge planet. If what James came up with is not worth it, then everything he has done before is useless. Zhao Li doesn't care, but Kang Hongyuan's political future can only end at the edge planet.

At this moment, Zhao Li could even keenly feel that Kang Hongyuan, an old man, actually exuded an aura that was not inferior to a master. It was his gaffe under the excitement, but it was only for a moment, and Kang Hongyuan controlled himself.

This kind of perseverance to control himself was even amazed by Zhao Li. Kang Hongyuan is indeed just an ordinary person who has practiced some folk fitness exercises, but he has been in a high position for a long time in the past, but he is not inferior to a master. Christin's soul-snatching hook, Zhao Li saw it, and he was a little dodgy, but the old man Kang Hong did not change in the slightest. It seems that whether you are a master or not, there are some things that can be cultivated.

"When I was on a mission, I was ...... at night The doctor worked together once. James finally spoke, and everyone fell silent, listening carefully, lest a word be missed.

"The location of that mission was in this area. The content of the mission was ......" James began to gush on.

However, Zhao Li didn't want to know too much about their past, which was not only the protection of himself, but also the protection of them, so he decisively stopped James's words: "Talk about the point, your industry." ”

This move made Kang Hongyuan, who was next to him, glance at Zhao Li and nodded slightly.

"Simply put, what we found can be used to produce an additive." Sure enough, James didn't continue, he was a soldier and knew some sensitive surnames.

"We all know that, too." Zhao Li was a little dissatisfied, James said this last time, but this time there is no change.

"This additive can be used in the energy storage batteries of various warships and energy weapons." James smiled and continued: "Of course, it can also be used in civilian batteries, but civilian batteries are all products that are a generation lower than those used by the military, and what I said is not fruitful." ”

If James said that it can only be used on civilian products, everyone will be surprised, and now this is what everyone takes for granted.

"Utility!" Li Mengdie spoke less, but seemed to be interested in this additive. It's just that in front of outsiders, she has always spoken less, and this time is no exception.

"This additive can complexate with some of the substances in the high-energy batteries currently in use to become a completely new substance." This time it was the night that spoke, and the question of the professional surname was explained by him.

"Utility!" Li Mengdie urged again in a cold voice.

Yelin looked at Li Mengdie, then at Zhao Li, and smiled slightly, as if he was laughing at Zhao Li for having such a girlfriend, it must be very uncomfortable. He didn't know what Li Mengdie looked like in front of Zhao Li.

"To put it simply, it can increase the storage of high-energy batteries by at least hundreds of times, and it can control the instantaneous output. Although it is not particularly useful for use on warships, it can only reduce the volume of energy storage equipment a little, but when used in energy weapons, it can remove the bottleneck that currently plagues energy weapons. Without any further hesitation, Ye Lin said directly: "The high-energy stable storage and high-power output of energy directly refer to the energy source of the energy weapon. ”

"The energy source of the energy weapon?" Hearing this, the minds of everyone present were all hot.

149. Reserves

At present, the standard weapons used by the military are still gunpowder weapons. After so many years of development, gunpowder weapons have reached the point of reaching the pinnacle, and there is almost no possibility of expanding their power.

However, in the same way, the means of defense are constantly being updated, and they are gradually catching up with the development of offensive forces. The high-tech bulletproof vest on Zhao Li is proof of this. Moreover, when dealing with screw nail missiles, it has been successfully proven that it can effectively protect itself.

Gunpowder weapons were in such an awkward period. Although there have been some powerful energy weapons, such as the particle cannon and small laser cannon that Zhao Li once used, due to the problem of energy, it has not been able to develop on a large scale, let alone equip the whole army.

The bottleneck of the energy problem lies in two aspects. First of all, energy weapons require a stable energy output, and they also require extremely high instantaneous output power. In addition, it also needs to support the needs of mobility, so it is currently the most widely used, that is, on warships. There are very few individual soldiers who use them. Even if there is, it needs to be recharged after only a limited number of launches due to energy issues.

Small laser cannons and particle cannons have such disadvantages. After Zhao Li found out, he didn't dare to use it many times. Suddenly hearing that what James and Yelin were producing was actually the key substance that could break this calm, Deng was shocked and gasped.

"Is it reliable? Tested? "Zhao Li's first question is the feasible surname.

"Reliable, proven by my own experiments." Nightfall replied aside. As a senior scientific researcher, his words are more credible in the minds of everyone.

"This kind of thing, I mean this additive, is it a unique business?" Kang Hongyuan is more concerned about another problem. As soon as he said this, everyone's attention was focused on James and Nightcome.

"At the moment, we haven't found this kind of ore anywhere else." James must have done his homework before, and the question above couldn't be more familiar: "What we need is the by-product of the mining of the mineral deposits here, and all the land that produces this raw ore has been bought by me, notarized, reported to the federal government, and completely private property." ”

"In addition, there is only one method of mining that has been discovered so far. It can only be carried out by biological mining, and in any other way, as long as the temperature is slightly higher than a few tens of degrees, this substance will be transformed into another stable allotrope, but it has no function as an additive. Ye Lin took over: "As an additive as a raw material, the storage and production conditions are extremely demanding, so in a few years, you can not worry about being cracked by others and produce for the time being, but after a few years, I don't know if there will be such an advantage." ”

"In other words, it's an absolutely unique business in a short period of time." Kang Hongyuan knocked his hand excitedly and confirmed it again. In the face of such a big piece of good news, he was as calm as Kang Hongyuan, and he also showed a trace of excitement, not to mention others.

"I think so." After all, he is a scientific researcher, and he will not say too much to say, and he will answer such a thing at night.

"Yay!" Kang Hongyuan stretched out his hands, clenched his fists and shouted: "That's it." Even if someone could copy it, it would be at least a few years later. Some money and status, as long as there are a few years, it is enough. ”

"If the plant is built on schedule, what about the output? How much demand can it meet? Kang Hongyuan eagerly asked another question in this regard.

"The yield can be regulated, depending on the size of the plant and the concentration of cultures." Yelin and James seem to have a clear division of labor, he is responsible for production, and James is responsible for raw material supply, sales and other aspects, this question is answered by Yelin: "Moreover, this is only an additive, but it can be added less than one percent in the production process of the original high-energy battery, and the amount used is very small." ”

"Okay." Kang Hongyuan may have made some decisions: "You don't have enough manpower here for raw material mining and construction, I can help you recruit from Golden Five Star City." Not only can it speed up production, but it also has the advantage that if a large number of people participate, whether it is a political axe or an underground armed force, they may not dare to move him easily. ”

It's a good idea, and it's similar to the human shield in some of the wars of the day. It is worthy of engaging in politics, and in an instant he came up with a way to increase production capacity and add a layer of insurance. Anyway, since it is a unique business, no matter how high the cost is, it can be passed on to the buyer.

No wonder the financier can make such a big deal to directly build a fleet just so that the equipment of a transport ship can arrive in time, and he must have such an idea.

Anyway, as long as the first batch of products bypasses the war zone and enters the Federation in the same way, such a function, even if there is a high cost, the Federation army will definitely eat it. Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth flow of transportation routes, they will do everything to open up the transportation lines of the traveling planets. This will not only ensure a significant reduction in costs, but also accelerate the conversion of the Federal Army's gunpowder weapons into energy weapons more quickly.

Individual energy weapons, as far as simple thermal weapons are concerned, as early as the 21st century, there have been the kind of thermal radiation expulsion vehicles used for large-scale dispersal. This kind of dispersal weapon, which only brings a burning sensation to the human skin, does not hurt people, but only allows people to actively avoid it and achieve the purpose of dispersal.

However, by altering some of these parts, heat energy can be injected directly into the human body. And depending on the power output, different degrees of damage are achieved. It is conceivable that suddenly somewhere in the body, the temperature of the direct body fluids reaches hundreds of degrees Celsius, what kind of lethality is this?

Moreover, this weapon does not use bullets, only uses an energy cartridge, which is the so-called high-energy battery, simple, no recoil, no mechanical friction, simple maintenance, almost no wear and tear, and most importantly, is not affected by gravity, the most direct straight line attack, simple to use, easy to use, whether it is lethality and other aspects, it is a grade higher than gunpowder weapons.

If the federal military can be equipped with this kind of weapon, then the advantage over the rebels will be further increased, and victory is not impossible.

Once the federal government axe and the army began to place orders, the profits were no longer described as gold fighting, they were simply legal robberies in disguise, and even to put it mildly, it was another nominal money printing factory.

Zhao Li looked at James and Yelin again, not to mention that in order to save his life, just the huge profit in it, if it was Zhao Li, it might not be easy to hand it over to others. It seems that at this time, Zhao Li also has an understanding of the two.

It's just that, along with the huge profits, there are also huge risks.

First of all, this is wartime, and not far from a planet, which is the war zone. Judging by the situation, it was the rebels who had the upper hand. Once the rebels know that the key to all energy weapons is on this marginal planet that is not seen in ordinary times, it is conceivable that the rebels will definitely seize it at any cost. And it is almost impossible to keep the rebels unaware. They can even understand the military deployment on the front line, let alone a political axe supplier.

Moreover, not to mention the rebels, it is the surrounding underground forces, knowing that there is such a way to make money that is easier than drug trafficking and smuggling terrorist activities, and it is also a reasonable and legal way, will they covet it? The answer is almost yes! Once production begins and becomes famous, it becomes a bloody piece of fresh meat, attracting a large group of hungry sharks with blue and green eyes to snatch it up.

In addition to these forces that cannot be controlled by the political axe, the old chaebol consortia within the scope of the federal political axe will never sit idly by and watch such a gold mine be controlled by a few people, and they will use all methods, overtly and covertly conspiring with the spies, spies, agents, sabotage and theft, and other means to steal the production secrets in it. Even if they can't steal it, they will never allow James and Yelin to eat alone, and they will definitely use various ways to set up obstacles, raise the entry threshold, and so on to restrict James's development.

Of course, James has a rich and big money owner, and I don't know if this money owner is equally powerful and can help solve these problems. But even if these can be solved, there are still greater forces behind.

Will the federal political axe, the military, these two forces with absolutely legitimate robbery rights, allow the pulse of such an important military industry to be in private hands? If they want to do it, even if the entire population of the entire edge planet is combined, it will never be able to stop it.

After the excitement, Zhao Li fell into this series of crisis response thinking. The same idea is Kang Hongyuan.

"This is a key material for the military, and it should be handed over to the military to operate!" Suddenly, there was discordant noise in the small group. Li Mengdie's cold words appeared in everyone's ears.

Everyone seemed to be stunned, and then, all eyes were focused on Zhao Li. This feels very strange, it is obviously what Li Mengdie said, but everyone looks at Zhao Li, and they seem to be wondering, why Li Mengdie still has a different voice from Zhao Li. Hasn't Zhao Li solved Li Mengdie yet? Especially Sanders, this guy's gaze has an inexplicable ambiguity, which makes Zhao Lizhi want to smoke him.

Even Zhao Li didn't expect that Li Mengdie would say such a thing. Looking at everyone's gaze, Zhao Li couldn't help but have a headache: "Let's take a break for a while." As he spoke, he got up and pulled Li Mengdie. Li Mengdie didn't say anything obediently, got up and followed Zhao Li out of the conference room, and went directly to Zhao Li's office.

"Die!" Zhao Li shouted, but he didn't know what to say, and when he was hesitating, Li Mengdie had already spoken: "Zhao Li, I know, you want to persuade me to give up that idea." ”

"Ah Die, I'm ......" Although Li Mengdie knew what he wanted to say, Zhao Li still felt that it was good to not know what to say, so he only said one more word and stopped here.

"Zhao Li, this is dangerous." Li Mengdie approached Zhao Li and stretched out her hands to hold Zhao Li's hands: "This kind of key material for the military industry is never allowed to be in the hands of private individuals. Once you don't master it well, everyone will be doomed. Li Mengdie said that the speed was slow, and it seemed that she wanted Zhao Li to think about it.

"I know." Zhao Li instantly understood that this was Li Mengdie's reluctance to involve Zhao Li in danger, not because she still adhered to that kind of selfless thought: "Ah Die, at this time, we can't quit." ”

This is a fact, not to mention that Kang Hongyuan has gambled on his political life, James and Yelin are also betting on everything, even if Zhao Li wants to quit, there is no way back. He knew Kang Hongyuan's surname very well, even if James and Yelin might let him go, Kang Hongyuan would never let his efforts be burned. He had ten thousand ways to pull Zhao Li back onto his battleship. Instead of doing that kind of face-tearing thing, it's better not to do it in the first place.

Kill Kang Hongyuan? James and Nightly Presence didn't do it, it was their arm of the political axe. In terms of force, Zhao Li can deter Kang Hongyuan, and in terms of strength, Zhao Li's current manpower can also restrain James's men. But on the other hand, Ye Lin alone can make the entire Jin Wuxing pull up the funeral, and Kang Hongyuan can also use various methods to counter Zhao Li.

It seems that the small clique of several of them is now a group that restricts each other, but has the same goal. Perhaps, this bond of interest is the strongest. In the past, the so-called life-saving grace, in the face of this situation, it was impossible to resist at all, at most, it was just to let them leave Zhao Li's surname.

Li Mengdie is not a fool, since she joined Zhao Li's small group, she has roughly known the energy of these people. At this time, he didn't insist anymore, but just hugged Zhao Li gently: "You have to give me a guarantee, if these things are in danger of your life, you must quit." ”

"Silly boy!" Zhao Li hugged Li Mengdie, gently stroked her hair, said with a wry smile, and hugged Li Mengdie tightly.

When she appeared in the conference room again, Li Mengdie had stopped talking. Several guys all looked at Zhao Li with a stubborn look, as if it was an achievement for him to be able to solve Li Mengdie in such a short time.

"We just had a brief discussion." Seeing Zhao Li and Li Mengdie sitting down, Kang Hongyuan opened his mouth and introduced: "In order to avoid possible troubles in the future, and for the safety of all of us, it is necessary to prepare a preparatory plan. ”

"What prepares?" This is a major matter related to everyone's safety, and of course Zhao Li is very concerned. Li Mengdie pricked up her ears even more, she didn't agree only from the perspective of Zhao Li's safety, never because of anything else.

"It's very simple, we will tell the political axe and the military that we have a detailed set of instructions on the rebel side, if the political axe intervenes, immediately destroy the factory in front of us, and then let the reserve personnel guide the rebel production. Of course, the political axe also has to come forward to help us solve the problems of those conglomerates and chaebols. Kang Hongyuan talked eloquently, this is a measure for the surface.

"Who's going to be this backup?" This is also a solution, at least the federal axe and the military will never allow or want the rebels to have such weapons. Maybe it will work out if it's been well arranged.

"Whoever it is, it needs the trust of everyone, and that's a necessary condition. I think there's only one person here who can make us all believe. Kang Hongyuan looked around, and several other people also nodded, and then turned to Zhao Li's side: "Who is this person, don't we need to say more?" ”

(To be continued)
