Chapter 95: Space Program
As soon as it was dawn, Xu Yi received the news that Alex personally sent him to the door.
Heinze died.
According to Alex, Heinze had gathered all his family and friends together at the manor last night, had a great feast, drank a lot, talked a lot, and had a good night, until the first rays of the sun came down, and suddenly fell into Rhea's arms without warning.
"Until the end, the uncle kept a smile on his face. Alex recalls the situation. "When it was almost dawn, he seemed to feel that he was dying, and pulled me aside and said that the luckiest thing in his life was to meet you, the elder. Without you, he would probably have been a grocery store owner for the rest of his life, and he would have been living an ordinary life. And because he met you, he was able to enjoy a life that he never dared to think of before. ”
After a pause, Alex continued, "Uncle asked me to tell you a word at the end. ”
"Say it. Xu Yi looked at the direction of Heinze's private manor with an indifferent expression.
"Uncle told me to just tell him what he said......" Alex coughed lightly, deliberately mimicking Heinze's tone at the time. "Xu Yi, I thought about it carefully, you better treat what I said before as a fart. You've done enough for Bonta City and the Kingdom of Lampari, it's time to take a break, and leave anything else to worry about. ”
Xu Yi stared at Alex: "That's it?"
"That's it. ”
Xu Yi thought about it, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
After that, Alex informed Xu Yi about the process of Heinze's funeral. He also asked if he would like to attend the funeral.
Originally, Alex didn't need to ask this question. It's just that Xu Yi and Heinz left directly after chatting with Heinz last night. made him a little uncertain about Xu Yi's thoughts, so he had to run to ask for clarification himself.
"Of course, Heinze is my old buddy, and how could I not attend his funeral. Xu Yi thought for a while and added, "In addition, I plan to give a speech at the funeral, you can arrange it." ”
Alex was overjoyed when he heard this.
Xu Yi was not only willing to attend the funeral, but was even willing to give a public speech at the funeral, which was tantamount to publicly showing his strong support for the Heinze family. It will be of great benefit to him and the rest of his family.
"Yes, I will grow up. ”
"Also, Heinze's funeral must be done, and I don't want to see anything discordant. Tell your unsuccessful relatives for me, and if any of them dare to make trouble, don't blame me for disciplining them for Heinze. Xu Yi said in a deep voice with a cold face.
Alex was shocked in his heart, knowing very well that this was not only Xu Yi's warning to his relatives and friends, but also to him, so he quickly nodded in response.
Two days later, Xu also made a public appearance at Heinze's funeral. And the news of his speech quickly spread throughout the Sainz continent.
Xu Yi has been away from the Sainz Continent for six years.
He may have returned to Sainz in the past six years, but he has never been seen in public. Now he suddenly appeared in a high-profile manner, which naturally aroused the suspicion of countless people.
Could it be that Xu Yi felt that he was not satisfied because he had already led the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to complete the conquest of the Demon Cloud Continent, so he planned to turn around and return to the Sainz Continent and conquer this continent?
"Don't mention this kind of joke. His Majesty Emperor Candela, who was opposite Xu Yichong, shook his head: "Your Majesty, I came back this time mainly to see the industrial development of the Sainz Continent. Although I have been able to get a lot of relevant information over the years, it is not as good as what I have seen with my own eyes. ”
His Majesty the Emperor Candela put away his smile, pondered for a moment, frowned and asked, "What are you going to do after reading it?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I have a space program, I don't know if Your Majesty is interested?"
"Space program?" His Majesty the Emperor Candela was stunned. "What's that?"
"Specifically, let's no longer limit ourselves to the planet under our feet, but develop into a wider space. The first step is to launch a large number of artificial satellites, so that everyone can have a deeper knowledge and understanding of space. The second step is to launch a manned spacecraft that will allow humans to move freely in and out of space. The third step is ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and continued: "The third step is to be able to fly on Alice and Tedas ......."
"Wait. "His Majesty the Emperor Candela has planned Xu Yi's words. "You say let's fly to Alice and Tedas? That's the moon! How can humans go up there? Is there a place to stay there?"
"Absolutely. Xu also replied in the affirmative. "Both Alice and Tedas are actually the same planet, but much smaller than the planet under our feet. As for going up...... Not long ago, one of the dragons had flown on Alice and returned safely. ”
"Flew Alice?" was shocked even when His Majesty Emperor Candela heard the news.
In the traditional understanding of this world by the people of Sainz, Alice and Tedas only appear at night in the two bright moons in the night sky.
Because of their remoteness, people are full of all kinds of fantasies about Alice and Tedas, but they never imagined that one day, humans would be able to climb on Easley and Tedas in person.
It is also because of the astronomical science popularization done by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in these years that people have a better understanding of the sky overhead, knowing that their feet are not a flat land, but a huge ball, knowing that there is a more vast space beyond the sky overhead, knowing that the stars seen at night whether it is the sun or night are actually just huge fireballs, and knowing that Alice and Tedas are only two planets......
But no one ever thought they would fly into space and experience for themselves beyond the sky, let alone on the moon.
"Yes. The dragon's flesh* body is far more powerful than us humans and other races, so she can fly directly into space, and even fly directly to Alice. But we humans and other races cannot. You have to borrow the power of machinery. Xu also explained.
That is to say...... You are talking about this space program. So let's start developing something that can fly into space? This ...... Is it difficult?" said His Majesty the Emperor Candela, suspiciously.
"It's really hard. Xu was blunt. "But it's not impossible. We now have the capability to launch artificial satellites. This means that you have the qualifications to go into space. Now that we have dragons to help us collect data on all aspects of space, it will be even more conducive to our early entry into space. ”
"Hmm......" His Majesty Emperor Candela thought for a while, spread his hands, and asked, "President Xu, it's not that I don't believe what you say, but please tell me, is there any benefit for me or our Candela Empire to participate in your so-called space program?"
Xu Yi smiled and took out a picture from his arms. Placed in front of His Majesty the Emperor Candela.
His Majesty the Emperor Candela picked up this picture suspiciously, only glanced at it, and immediately his face sank.
"President Xu, what do you mean by that? ”
This image depicts a valley that looks inconspicuous on the surface, but His Majesty the Emperor Candela can tell at a glance that it is clearly the location of a military magical machinery research base set up by the Candela Empire in the Eastern Province.
This base is top secret in the Candela Empire, how did Xu Yi know about it?
"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that someone has leaked secrets, if you take a closer look at this picture, do you find any problems?"
His Majesty the Emperor Candela looked at the picture in wonder. After a while, I realized that the angle of this picture is strange.
It stands to reason. If you are depicting a valley, you should either observe it from a distant height or depict it from above.
The angle chosen in this picture is directly above, but it seems to be so close that the valley is depicted very clearly, and even the leaves of a tree on a nearby hill can be seen clearly.
That's a little weird.
The valley looked unmistakable on the surface, but it was so heavily defended that it was impossible for anyone else or any flying machine to appear so close overhead and not react.
"How is this done?" asked His Majesty the Emperor Candela in a deep voice.
Xu also pointed upward.
"Your Majesty, if I say that it was captured by an artificial satellite launched by our Chamber of Commerce, would you believe it?"
His Majesty the Emperor Candela glanced up at the sky above him and snorted coldly.
"Ridiculous! Your Chamber of Commerce's artificial satellite is located in space, and according to the data released by your Chamber of Commerce, it is more than 100 kilometers above the ground, how can it be possible to photograph things on the ground?
Xu Yi smiled and said nothing.
His Majesty Emperor Candela stared at Xu Yi for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and slowed down the expression on his face.
Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have done countless shocking and unbelievable things, breaking the common sense of the people on the Sainz continent countless times, even if His Majesty the Emperor Candela thinks that what he is saying now is ridiculous, he still feels that there is a great possibility in his heart.
What's more, Xu Yi didn't need to lie to him about this matter at all.
"President Xu, your satellites can't just see this valley, right?"
"Of course. Xu also unceremoniously admitted.
"So...... Is there a way to keep you from seeing it?"
"Of course, there is. Xu Yi paused and added an explanation. "If you Candela Empire also have the ability to launch artificial satellites into space, and have the ability to record the situation on the ground from the sky in high definition, you will naturally know how to guard against being seen. That's pretty straightforward, isn't it?"
His Majesty the Emperor Candela's breathing became a little heavier.
Xu Yi's words are simply equivalent to a threat.
But he couldn't disbelieve it, and he couldn't disobey it.
If any part of the Candela Empire can be watched by the Sputnik of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then what secrets are there?
Seeing the rapid change in the expression on His Majesty Emperor Candela's face, the smile on Xu Yi's face became stronger and stronger.
He knew that His Majesty Emperor Candela had actually wavered in his heart, and he would agree sooner or later.
So...... After taking out the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, which country should be targeted next? )
