August 8, 2026, Lingjiang City, World Expo Pavilion

As the new speaker of the Silla Parliament, who has only taken office in recent days, Kang Yuansheng has a feverish plan to visit the Eastern Union in order to win the support of the Eastern Union and consolidate his unstable position in Silla.

The World Expo was a great opportunity, so he quickly hit it off with OUCC and became the first foreign speaker to appear in Lingjiang City to participate in the World Expo.

Donglian also attached great importance to this, not only did the Supreme Speaker personally receive him, but also specially arranged for Zhou Xinming, the minister of the Dongling Group, to be Jiang Yuansheng's guide and take him to visit the content and various technologies inside.

Unlike the previous World Expos held in the territory of the Oriental Union, this time the World Expo in Lingjiang is strictly speaking, the specifications are different in all aspects, and the time for bidding and approval is too fast, not to mention the content of its exhibition, which is unprecedented.

Even this time the World Expo was not even planned to be held for the so-called closing ceremony, and only one opening ceremony was prepared, so in essence, it was not a World Expo at all, but just borrowed the name of the World Expo and put on a skin.

To put it in layman's terms, although this exhibition is called the World Expo to the outside world, in fact, whether it is the internal layout or process of the building, or the various psionic technologies inside, it has nothing to do with the World Expo.

Since it's just that, it's understandable to let people in in advance, so as the speaker of the foreign parliament, Jiang Yuansheng had already planned to enter the pavilion to see the contents before the opening ceremony of the Lingjiang World Expo.

Of course, according to the plan, they will attend the opening ceremony, but that will be later, and Jiang Yuansheng and the speakers of several other countries will finish reading the content before.

The reason for this arrangement is also easy to understand, mainly to reduce the pressure on security, after all, although the current group of "audiences" are cultivators, the people who want to kill them in this era may also be cultivators, so caution in the era of aura recovery is the most important.

"Speaker Jiang, on behalf of the Eastern Union government and the Supreme Council of the Eastern Union, I welcome your arrival, as your country that has always been our ally and brotherly country, I and the Dongling Group also hope that Speaker Jiang can have a pleasant experience in the territory of the Eastern Union........" Zhou Xinming greeted him and said with a smile as soon as he met.

Although the two of them don't have much offline contact, plus the language is also different, they are all leaders of their own country's extraordinary departments, and they are also comrades-in-arms who have pit the Cohen people together, traded elixirs, and then dug spirit crystal mines.

Not to mention the common language between cultivators, so even if the official affairs are removed, the two of them can be regarded as friends in personal relations.

Therefore, Zhou Xinming didn't use too many official words, but casually said a few words of welcome, and chatted with Jiang Yuansheng about cultivation.

"Representative Zhou is polite, this time it hasn't been long since we last met in Hutou Mountain, I didn't expect Representative Zhou's cultivation to be strengthened again, just between gestures are not ordinary, recently I feel a bottleneck, and the spiritual vein under the dantian seems to be stuck."

"Speaker Jiang, I heard that you are about to break through the 3rd order, how can this be called a bottleneck? Isn't my cultivation regressing? Zhou Xinming smiled.

"That's not good, my little cultivation is definitely not comparable to Representative Zhou, just subduing the demon beast in the Tianshun Commercial Center is not something I can think about, to put it mildly, if I face that kind of situation, I will definitely fall into it."

In fact, Jiang Yuansheng's sentence was not polite, but a true truth, after all, even Wang Shaodong was trapped in Tianshun Commercial Center at that time.

Although Jiang Yuansheng did not know Zhou Xinming's specific strength, because of the previous military cooperation between the two countries, Jiang Yuansheng and Wang Shaodong had a relationship, and at that time he knew that his cultivation was not as high as Wang Shaodong.

So since even Wang Shaodong, who is higher in cultivation than himself, can't even do it, let alone himself? Not to mention Zhou Xinming, who was able to go in and kill the demon beast and rescue Wang Shaodong.

Put yourself in your shoes, if there is a person like Liu Jiahui or a fantasy monster in Silla, any special forces and cultivators are useless, and it is estimated that the only solution is to mobilize artillery troops to bomb the place where they are located.

It can be seen how unfathomable the Dongtian blessed land of the Eastern Union is, no matter whether it is a demon beast or a cultivator, they are stronger than themselves, the number one master of Silla, and as for the Silla cultivation realm, they can't compare with the other party.

Of course, this also made Jiang Yuansheng feel nervous, because as the most powerful cultivator in Silla, it means that if a similar situation occurs in Silla in the future, especially in the city, then he will definitely have to go to the front line to deal with it in person like Zhou Xinming.

And he doesn't have Zhou Xinming's strength and self-confidence now, and he is a little afraid that something like Liu Jiahui or a fantasy monster will suddenly appear in Silla one day.

"Speaker Jiang exalted me too much, and the battle in Tianshun Commercial Center was also very dangerous, and I still took advantage of the opponent's light enemy at that time, otherwise it would still be tricky!"

"Representative Zhou, you are too modest, now that the aura is revived so fiercely, I am also worried that this kind of thing will happen in Silla that day, and I still need Representative Zhou's guidance........."

The two of them chatted all the way, and walked all the way into the magnificent cultural hall in front of them, which was the Lingjiang World Expo Pavilion.

This cultural center is the second largest in Lingjiang City, and the Supreme Council originally planned to hold the event in another place, but that place was too close to the Tianshun Commercial Center, and after the Liu Jiahui incident, OUCC immediately switched to another cultural center to prepare for the World Expo.

After all, it is not easy for thousands of people to fall into the illusion, although it did not cause much loss under Zhou Xinmingde's organization, but it is still an extremely serious malignant incident, so the risk of letting unrelated people enter it cannot be taken.

In fact, from the far point of the Tianshun Commercial Center, the surrounding residential and civil buildings within a radius of several miles have been moved, and anyone who wants to enter this special aura control area, even low-level civil servants, needs to be reviewed and approved.

At this moment, because Jiang Yuansheng came, the surrounding area of this exhibition hall has long been blocked by the military police, dozens of military green infantry fighting vehicles are lying on the street, and the soldiers on it are holding the vehicle-mounted light machine guns tightly, and their eyes are vigilantly looking at the surrounding situation.

Even in the empty hall, there were docents and cleaners and other idle people, only the sturdy bodyguards who stood in the corner and whispered with headsets.

"What you see now is the spirit crystal explosive that my country has recently researched." When he walked to the first booth, Zhou Xinming pointed to a small piece of crystal in the explosion-proof glass cabinet and showed it to Jiang Yuansheng next to him.

Although Zhou Xinming's task is to guide Jiang Yuansheng to visit, this sentence was not said by Zhou Xinming, or even by humans, but by a soft female voice from above, which is a new generation of artificial intelligence in the exhibition hall.

Because the artificial intelligence of the exhibition hall has the ability to cooperate with the surrounding monitoring, it will automatically introduce the contents of the exhibits when it detects that a visitor is approaching.

At the same time, next to the explosion-proof glass cabinet, it is also intimately equipped with holographic images and electronic screens for introduction, with holographic videos and artificial intelligence explanations, Jiang Yuansheng quickly understood what the little crystal inside was.

It's an incredibly powerful, high-energy material that has an energy density of more than 40 times that of TNT when it can release energy instantaneously.

It is equivalent to a kind of sub-nuclear explosive, after all, let alone a 40-fold gap, even if it is a 4-fold gap, its researchers are enough to make a prize with a gold content no less than the Nobel Prize.

After all, you must know that Nobel was born in explosives, and this super explosive, like yellow explosives, is an invention that is enough to subvert modern warfare, and it has a decisive effect in conventional warfare.

And in fact, this effect has already been revealed, at present, the cultivators of the Eastern Alliance military are basically equipped with psionic rifles, and these psionic rifles are not only made of high-value spiritual crystal materials, but the bullets inside are made of spiritual crystal explosives as propellants.

Including the psionic rifle that Zhou Xinming destroyed Liu Jiahui before, the bullets used in it were also fired with spirit crystal explosives, so it can be said that the little crystal in the display case was the hero who killed Liu Jiahui.

"Representative Zhou, this explosive is too strong." Jiang Yuansheng swallowed his saliva and said, he could already imagine that one person could rely on such a small piece of things to blow up the homogeneous armor of the tank.

Or a cultivator with an anti-tank gun, or even a small pistol, can easily penetrate thick fortifications.

"The strength of this explosive is mainly due to the fact that when the spirit crystal structure is destroyed, it will produce a chain reaction of internal spiritual energy, relying on these spiritual power and surrounding spiritual power to increase the speed of gas expansion."

"It's essentially the same principle as traditional explosives, but it's much more powerful, and of course it comes at a cost, that is, the cost is much higher than ordinary explosives."

"After all, spirit crystals are still extremely expensive strategic materials, whether it is to supply the energy of runes, refining pills or runes, we need to use this valuable material, so we don't have the ability to produce spirit crystal explosives on a large scale for the time being, and we haven't put it into practical use yet."

"To put it in layman's terms, this is still an experimental-grade material, but it is theoretically powerful, and it has no practical value for the time being, and all the arrangements are follow-up plans."

However, although artificial intelligence says so, in fact, the spirit crystal explosives have long been put into practical use, not to mention the spirit energy rifles in the Eastern Coalition Army, and even some cultivators of Yier have also obtained some spirit crystal explosives, and even now the military has planned to design missiles and shells with spirit crystal explosive warheads.

After all, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, the news revealed is always a generation later than the actual one, not to mention that this is the content to face the public, and the news in it can be obtained with hands and networks, so it is naturally impossible to put the latest secrets here for everyone to see.

Of course, Jiang Yuansheng knew the details inside, so he just smiled meaningfully, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Xinming in front of him.

"Hmm....... At present, our plan is to use spirit crystal explosives as solid fuel for rockets and missiles, although we mainly used liquid fuel before, but spirit crystal explosives not only have a high energy density, but also can be comparable to nuclear fuel by increasing the concentration. ”

"Now our new generation of Shenzhou 17 manned spacecraft plans to use a high concentration of spirit crystal explosives as rocket propellant, according to supercomputing calculations, the carrying capacity can be increased by 3-5 times and the range can be increased under the same fuel."

"The same is true of the fuel for missiles; after using this new type of solid-state fuel, we can greatly increase the range and flight speed of missiles, and establish a missile strike network covering the whole world, and it is basically impossible to intercept such high-speed missiles with the existing anti-missile technology."

"Not only that, Representative Zhou, the energy density of this spirit crystal explosive is so high, it seems that it is also suitable as a detonating charge for hydrogen bombs, and it can completely replace the atomic bomb to detonate hydrogen bombs." Jiang Yuansheng said meaningfully, it can be said that he understands everything.

"Hmm....... What Deputy Jiang said is indeed true, but at present we have no such plans, because after all, modern times are a peaceful society, and China will not take military action against other countries on its own initiative, so there is no need to do so. "Zhou Xinming is serious.

“....... This is roughly the case with spirit crystal explosives, and although it seems to be a very destructive weapon, we still hope to use it as much as possible in the field of peace, such as space exploration, which is beneficial to all mankind. ”

"If spirit crystal explosives are suitable for use as a solid fuel, we plan to launch manned landings on the Moon and Mars in the next few years, both for traditional scientific research and sample investigations, and on the other hand to observe the psionic density of other planets."

"Meaning, do you suspect that not only our world, but also other astral bodies will have a revival of aura?" Hearing this, Jiang Yuansheng was puzzled, after all, he had always felt that the revival of aura was just a unique situation on earth.

In other words, in the modern society where space technology has been in a downturn for a long time and everyone's enthusiasm for space exploration has decreased, few people will look up at the stars like the Cold War anymore, so everyone will not think that the revival of aura has something to do with the extraterrestrial world at first.

"This is actually a kind of speculation and illusion on our part, after all, the geocentric theory has been overturned centuries ago, I believe that Speaker Jiang, you don't think that we are the center of the universe, and the entire universe was created by God to serve as a foil for the earth, right?"

"Then naturally I won't think like this, not to mention the vast and boundless universe, there are trillions of solid planets in the Milky Way alone, and the only special thing about the earth among so many planets is that it is suitable for life to survive and give birth to life." Jiang Yuansheng responded.
