Xu Yuan was silent, still speechless.

He understood why the father would leave Xu Xinyao's matter to him to solve.

The father knew very well that although the path that the fourth sister had found was feasible, it was also a dead end.

Because, it's too late.

Today's situation is already on the verge of being launched.

If the imperial court is a word hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then there may still be a slight possibility of this matter, but there is still the existence of the imperial family in the imperial court, and there is the emperor who is about to die.

Li Yaoxuan will not agree.

From the beginning, the father and the emperor set the policy of ending with war, and the two have been working in this direction for decades in power.

Even if the father had told him about the plan, it might have been a one-time unhappy breakup.

When Li Yaoxuan was about to die, if he told him about this plan, he would only feel that it was a betrayal, a complete betrayal.

Because even if all the research materials of Xu Xinyao at this stage are presented to Li Yaoxuan, it is impossible to confirm the feasibility of the Soul Raising Ring, let alone how long it will take for the Soul Raising Ring technology to mature.

Li Yaoxuan can't afford to wait.

After his death, there will be no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion under the helm of Xu Yinhe.

Xu Yinhe's prestige accumulated in the past few decades is too high, and he agreed to this plan, without his Li Yaoxuan's restrictions, in the long process of developing the soul raising ring, everything in the court will be eaten up by him little by little.

Therefore, this matter cannot be told to the prime minister's only ally at this stage.

And there is no solution to this.

Now that the situation is clear, the emperor named Li Yaoxuan wants to do something to maintain the rule of the imperial family before he dies.

Otherwise, he would not have been in such a hurry to destroy the barbarians, let alone attack the Northern Sect in such a hurry.

In the past year or so, it was Emperor Li Yaoxuan who took the lead, and that father just cooperated to follow up.

But Li Yaoxuan's every move these times is a risky move.

If you take one wrong step, you will never recover.

The battle of the barbarians, if it weren't for the supplies he brought through the Sumeru Ring provided in the Qionghua Secret Realm, if it weren't for the information he obtained through the "Cangyuan", under the leadership of the barbarian king Chi Feng, the barbarians would have broken through the northern blockade, a giant fortress between the extremely dark land and the three continents in the north.

The battle to exterminate the Northern Sect is a dangerous lead, if the Sect Alliance does not appease and is unwilling to give up the Northern Sect, then the whole world will be instantly plunged into war.

At this point in time, it is impossible to stop him.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan wanted to tell the fourth sister in front of him about these things, but he swallowed the words again.

Some can't bear it.

The fourth sister struggled to find the right path after all her efforts, but was told that it was a dead end, which was undoubtedly too cruel for her.

Looking at the cautious and hopeful eyes, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and asked softly:

"With the full support of the Gewu Academy, Xin Yao, how long do you think you will be able to make a sample?"

Xu Xinyao's eyes lit up slightly:

"I haven't touched the soul raising ring of Senior Luo, so the time is uncertain."

Xu Yuan pondered a little and continued to ask:

"You just have to give me a rough idea."

When Xu Xinyao heard Xu Yuan's loose words, the sparkle in her eyes dissipated a lot, her hoarse voice returned to stability, and she said quickly:

"It's as short as a year, and as long as it's more than ten years."

"Smack."

Xu Yuan clapped his hands, straightened up, and said in a serious tone:

"It's been too long.

"Regardless of whether it can be successfully made or not, it will take so long for a sample to be in your imagination, so it should not be too much to double the time it takes to reduce the cost to be able to mass produce it, so it will take more than ten years to go back and forth.

"And more importantly, even if it can be mass-produced, the biggest problem is to have the facilities ready for it."

Hearing these words, Xu Xinyao's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

As a top-notch array artist, of course she was also very aware of these things, but she selectively ignored them.

Nowadays, all facilities, all formations, and all appliances are driven by Yuan Qi, and the energy of the Soul Raising Ring comes from the Yin source generated by demons and ghosts.

These are two very different energies, and the interoperability cannot be said to be very poor, only to be said to be none.

Implementing this plan will require a large-scale and cumbersome renovation program.

Transform the large array of the city to draw energy formations, transform the energy supply methods of the appliances, and transform which appliances can be charged with the yin source.

And more importantly, it is also necessary to cultivate a large number of Yin ghosts as a source of energy.

All of this is a long process.

"Alas"

Xu Yuan sighed softly and said in a low voice:

"Xin Yao, all the resources in the Prime Minister's Mansion are preparing for the possible war, and there is no spare time to support this huge project of yours, which is probably the reason why my father rejected you."

Xu Xinyao hung her head weakly, like an injured little beast, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan raised his hand and gently pressed it on the girl's smooth hair, and said softly:

"If your father can't give you, I'll give it to you."

Xu Xinyao stood up suddenly, and her beautiful eyes were very bright:

"Brother, are you willing to help me persuade my father?"

Xu Yuan looked away and said in a low voice:

"I've said it all, it's impossible for my father to agree, even if I try to persuade it."

The girl's delicate little face froze in surprise, pursed her lips, and said carefully:

"Keke Xinyao remembers that you don't have any money now"

"Dah."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and struck the girl on the head with a knife.

Xu Xinyao was in pain, took half a step back, covered her head, stared at him and waited for Xu Yuan's next words.

Xu Yuan snorted lightly, glanced at the direction of the door, and then directly controlled the black soul in the sea of knowledge to envelop the entire chamber.

Suddenly, the wing room, which was originally illuminated by the inscription lamp, was instantly shrouded in a black mist that could not be penetrated by the soul.

The next word, he needs to be cut off from everything.

Even the father couldn't tell me.

And by this change, Xu Xinyao, who fell into the darkness, subconsciously exclaimed:

"Ahh

"This is my spell." Xu Yuan comforted softly.

Hearing the voice, Xu Xinyao subconsciously followed the sound and pulled the corner of the man's clothes in front of him in the dark:

"Why?"

"Don't be afraid."

Xu Yuan did not answer this question, and said softly:

"I'll stay until my father returns home, I'll go and ask him to deploy three Formation Pattern Masters on the Armor and two Armor Refiners for you, as for the researchers below the Armor level, you should have your own connections in the Gewu Academy, is this kind of manpower allocation okay?"

Xu Xinyao hesitated slightly when she heard this.

The first-level array masters and refiners are all treasures of the Xiangfu, and each of them is so knowledgeable that they can almost lead the research of a project.

Although it is still a little insufficient for the entire huge project, this should be the limit of what the third brother can do.

Thinking in her heart, Xu Xinyao nodded slightly, and then realized that it was dark here, and the third brother might not be able to see it, and was about to speak, when he heard the other party's words:

"If that's enough, it's money and supplies."

That's right, this is the third brother's spell, he can definitely see it.

Xu Xinyao thought in her heart and asked:

"Third brother, your money has been taken away by Lou Ji"

"Money is just a number, don't pay too much attention to it."

“.” Xu Xinyao.

"Okay, okay."

Xu Yuan sighed and continued to whisper: "I know you may think that without the help of my father, I have no financial resources, but in fact, I have other channels. ”

Xu Xinyao's eyes blinked, and she asked in a low voice, "Blackmail?" ”

“.” Xu Yuan.

Truth be told, he had that thought.

But not blackmail, but borrowing.

Li Yunqing is quite rich, and he will not refuse his loan from this friend of life and death.

Moreover, after a detailed conversation with the prince the night before, he knew that the other party might be going to Dongying's side, and with the other party's temperament, revealing his identity should be considered an acceptable range.

However, being looked at by his sister with this kind of eyes, Xu Yuan was still a little unhappy in his heart.

It's as if he knows how to extort money from others.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan raised his hand and pulled the girl's soft face, making it blush:

"Don't care where my money comes from, I'll give it to you anyway, is it enough to provide millions of taels of funds for preparation in the initial stage?"

"Not enough." Xu Xinyao didn't want to reply directly.

"A million taels is not enough?!" Xu Yuan was stunned.

Converted into the currency of the previous life, a million lines of silver are a huge amount of 1.5 billion, and even the preliminary preparations are not enough.

Xu Xinyao's face was slightly red, and she explained in a soft voice:

"The peephole needs to be repaired, and the cost of the formation pattern master can be saved with me, but even if the purchase of various materials and the repair of the site are purchased at an internal price like Grandpa Huahong, a million patterns of silver are really not enough."

Gewuin and Cheonan Chamber of Commerce are two completely separate institutions under the Prime Minister's Office.

If there is a direct order from the father, the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce can provide all kinds of materials for free, but if it is private, it needs to be purchased with money.

Engaging in scientific research is really burning money, oh no, it's burning source crystals.

With a sigh in his heart, Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and asked:

"And how much silver do you need?"

"Probably. Five million taels. Xu Xinyao couldn't see Xu Yuan's expression, so she had to cautiously probe: "If it doesn't work, three million taels should barely be enough." ”

"Five million taels. You're a gold-eater. ”

Xu Yuan raised his hand and pinched the fourth sister's face hard: "I know, you wait, I'll find a way." ”

Xu Xinyao was in pain, but her beautiful eyes were full of smiles in the dark:

"Uh-huh."

After answering, Xu Xinyao suddenly remembered something, became a little hesitant again, and said in a low voice:

"Brother, without my father's order, Senior Luo shouldn't have handed over the soul ring to me for research."

Xu Yuan was directly happy when he heard this:

"You go and call him tomorrow, I haven't seen that old friend for a long time, and I still miss him a little."
