Chapter 272: Energy, or Energy
"We're back!"
Returning to Xia Mansion from Earth, Cuizhu couldn't help but shout, the familiar environment actually became a little unfamiliarβcompared to a large number of novelties on the earth.
Her sister Luzhu was much more reserved, and after putting away the things she had brought back from the earth, she hurried out of the study to report to her wife.
Not long after, Xia Shumin met her mother.
"Did you bring your husband's things back to your parents' house again?"
Seeing a large pile of earth goods in the study, Lu Rui said with a smile.
"My daughter can't help it."
Xia Shumin made a sad and sad expression, and covered her face with her sleeves and said: "My mother has lost her status as a princess, and she has worked hard to maintain the family business over the years, but fortunately, her daughter married a good husband to help the family." β
Lu Rui burst out laughing, hurriedly held back again, and stretched out her hand to flick her forehead: "It's all my fault, I gave birth to a sharp tooth, and I married a daughter from the fairy world!" β
ββ¦β¦ Mother. β
Hearing that she was married far away, Xia Shumin accepted her little daughter's appearance, hugged her mother and said, "My daughter is not married far away, just now my daughter was still in Sister Earth's house, and she returned home in less than three breaths." β
Lu Rui sighed slightly in her heart, although this was the case, but after all, she didn't know what the fairy world was like, if her daughter was bullied, she wouldn't be able to go to the fairy world to see it, let alone know her news.
It's not like marrying far away, it's better than marrying far away.
However, when her daughter is older, she still has to get married after all.
"I heard you say that Sister Wan still lives in her house...... Could it be that you are the second room? β
Lu Rui asked her daughter in her arms.
What a second room, to put it nicely, is actually a concubine's room, although Chen Ji is an immortal, but it is not good to listen to.
Xia Shumin's face turned red, and he said, "This, this is not, Sister Wan is neither big nor small...... Childe jokingly said that whoever is big in any world. β
Lu Rui glanced at her: "You are a big man in Zhao Kingdom, but your husband did not come to Zhao Kingdom, you married to the earth, and your sister Wan is from the earth." β
Isn't this just being small all the time?
Xia Shumin was stunned for a while, and after a while, she resigned herself to her fate: "Sister Wan is worthy of being a wife, my daughter didn't understand anything when she went to the earth, it was Sister Wan who took care of me, and she was able to help her son." β
"If she comes to Zhao Country to play, I will take care of her more, the same."
Xia Shumin added.
Lu Rui took her hand and sat down, "Tell me more about what you've done in the past two days?" β
Xia Shumin obediently explained to her mother.
"Your husband bought you a house, and your name is written on the deed?"
"Well, I bought two sets, and Sister Wan also has one! The one I live in is my name. β
"What about the others? The empress you said. β
After listening carefully, Lu Rui pondered for a while.
"Mother?"
Xia Shumin, who doesn't know how to "fight in the palace", wants to hear his mother's analysis.
Lu Rui looked at her with a strange face, "It seems that my stupid girl has indeed found a good husband...... If you marry in the past, you can be regarded as half a big woman, and your son-in-law still spoils you. β
Xia Shumin lowered his head in shame.
Lu Rui twisted her face funny, and said, "You have a house on the earth, and you can marry it after repairing it." When are you going to let him come to propose? β
Xia Shumin blushed and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Lu Rui said with a smile: "Although my future son-in-law is an immortal, he has never read the Four Books and Five Classics, and if you want to get married, you have to write a marriage book for yourself." β
"I'm ......!"
Xia Shumin's face turned red and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, what his mother said made sense.
Childe's ancient writing is not good, and if she wants to give her a letter of appointment and marriage, she has to write it herself!
"I'm looking for a son-in-law to ask for a pen fee!" Xia Shumin muttered.
"It's not enough for you to polish your pen when someone gives you a suite?"
"Mother!!"
Xia Shumin said angrily.
Lu Rui teased again.
After the mother and daughter were happy, she began to get down to business: "During the three days you went to Earth, your cousin also came back and came to the capital with seventeen or eighteen land gods. β
"Coming?!"
Xia Shumin was keenly aware that her mother's words were wrong.
The only one who dared to come to the capital was the emperor.
Now that her cousin has returned to Zhao, it seems that she ......
"How is this good?"
Xia Shumin became worried, afraid that there would be another war.
"Don't worry."
Lu Rui said lightly: "He is now not only the prince, but also the prince recognized by many people in the rivers and lakes, he has a great relationship with your husband, and there are five land fairy realm guards under him, and he himself is the same." β
Xia Shumin's eyes widened and he thought of something.
Lu Rui said again: "After he returned to the capital, he disobeyed the decree and hung all the spirit grass in your husband's name, and he should come to Yongkang County soon." β
"Why didn't my cousin come directly to Yongkang County?" Xia Shumin blurted out.
If you want to swallow the spirit grass alone, you can come to Yongkang County, and the emperor can't do anything about him, and now no one dares to make trouble in Yongkang County.
Lu Rui smiled: "He came directly, how do the civil and military officials know?" And how do you speak for him? β
Xia Shumin was thoughtful.
She, the prince's cousin, wanted to take advantage of this protest, not only to demonstrate to his father, but also to make hundreds of civil and military officials stand in line.
In the past, her cousin would have died a few times ago.
But now, with the power of the immortals and the power of the land immortals, Lu Huai's cousin has already been full-fledged, and he can ascend the throne after only one "Qingjun side......
"Just listen to that."
Lu Rui said with a smile, "You are not the empress, or the empress, the affairs of the capital will not implicate us, at most your father will benefit from it, and we will move back to the capital after becoming the prime minister." β
Xia Shumin has lived in the capital for a few years and is very familiar with it.
"Yes~~"
She answered.
Although she likes to live in Momijishan, if her father returns to the capital to be an official, she will also support her father with her mother.
Be patient.
With the strength of the land immortals, as well as the reputation of the prince among the people of the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that her emperor's uncle is the prince's cousin who can't win.
β¦β¦
Chen Ji learned about Zhao Guo from the little lady at night.
The warriors of the Zhao Kingdom have broken through the realm of grandmasters and reached the realm of land immortals, and the martial arts of the warriors have gradually evolved into the way of seeking immortals.
I am afraid that there will be martial immortals with a lifespan of hundreds of years in the future, and at that time, if the secular dynasty is still like this, it will not be able to suppress them at all.
If Lu Huai can be called the emperor, he can use his name to suppress those people in the rivers and lakes, so that the rivers and lakes of the court will not be chaotic.
And after seeing another world, I think that even if Lu Huai ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will not dare to bring the army to Yongkang County like last time.
Just wait for the results of the capital to come out.
The next day.
After Chen Ji and Zhou Wan had breakfast, they packed some more and prepared to take them to the second floor.
"I went?"
Chen Ji said goodbye to her.
"Well, go ahead. I'm going to work too. Zhou Wan, who was wearing professional clothes and a pair of high heels under her feet, looked taller and taller, nodded at him.
"Kiss one?"
Chen Ji leaned his face over, Zhou Wan pursed her lips, imprinted her own lip print on his cheek, her eyes were slightly shy, and pushed him down: "Satisfied, right?" Let's go, Da Zhou is already waiting for you! β
"Haha, okay, let's go!"
Chen Ji said goodbye to her with satisfaction, walked up the stairs, and watched Zhou Wan turn around and leave, before entering his room with breakfast.
Subsequently, he traveled to the apocalyptic world.
"You're here~!"
Another Zhou Wan, who was much plumper and had a more gentle personality, happily threw herself into his arms and hugged him.
"Well, I'm here, just said goodbye to 'Zhou Wan', and I'll come to see you right away."
Chen Ji said with a smile, hugged her waist, and sat on the sofa in the dormitory with her.
"What do you say 'Zhou Wan'?"
The woman leaning on him asked with a smile.
She is also Zhou Wan.
Four years older than the other Zhou Wan.
And she and Chen Ji were the first to meet.
In addition, she and Chen Ji have also ...... Become a real couple.
She didn't envy that Zhou Wan.
"She didn't say anything, she kissed me."
Chen Ji said with a smile.
"Then I'll kiss you too...... Does she kiss the left cheek or the right cheek? β
"It's all kissed."
"Hmm, really?"
Chen Ji was intimate with her for a while, and soon woke up the black cat girl who was sleeping on the bed, she rubbed her eyes, and when she saw that it was Chen Ji, she ran over on all fours with a cheer.
Same as cats!
"No clothes on?"
Chen Ji couldn't cry or laugh, so he hurriedly pressed Xiao Ke and gave her a ball of light to calm her down.
"That's good."
Zhou Wan leaned on his shoulder, held his hand tightly, and looked at Xiao Ke's carefree appearance with a smile: "In the past two days, I have been shopping with you for a long time in my dreams, and I have also bought a house and watched TV...... It feels like I'm with you too. β
Chen Ji hugged her and didn't say anything, he could feel Zhou Wan's mood at the moment.
Now she can leave this apocalyptic world and go to Earth to live with him, never to return.
Moreover, her family has died in the apocalypse, and her friends are only casual friends.
It can be said that Zhou Wan can go to his world with Chen Ji and get rid of the life of living underground.
But.
She couldn't be so ruthless.
If she was just an ordinary person, then she could have just left.
But she and Chen Ji are both people who can bring great changes to this world, she is gone, and the world can no longer get Chen Ji's help, maybe she is only away for ten days and half a month, but the end has passed more than ten years.
"I'm sorry."
Zhou Wan apologized for her sudden sadness.
I was too happy in my dreams, but when I opened my eyes, I was alone.
If it weren't for Chen Ji chatting with her every day, she would definitely be even more sad.
"Fool."
Chen Ji comforted her and said: "When you want to go to Earth, just tell me, you can do it at any time!" β
"Hmm."
Zhou Wan knew what he meant, and with him as a solid backing, she quickly cheered up and began to get down to business.
About the underground doomsday base, about the Dark Doomsday Society.
Chen Ji thought for a moment, pulled her up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Doomsday Base to have a look!" β
The two went out together, and Xiao Ke turned into a kitten lying on his shoulder and continued to sleep.
Chen Ji's appearance surprised many people, but everyone was in a hurry to do things.
Taking the elevator down to the Doomsday Base, Chen Ji saw a more depressed scene than a month ago (Doomsday World Time).
After losing the endless source of energy from the Life Crystal, the lights in the Doom Base were turned off even more.
Most areas of the city are dim, and there is only sufficient light in schools, cafeterias, research institutes, etc.
People's expressions were very serious, and even a little pessimistic, and after seeing Chen Ji and Zhou Wan appear, some hope was ignited.
"Energy is crucial."
Zhou Wan said softly: "No matter how powerful our abilities become, they still can't replace coal, oil, water and other energy sources, let alone the sun. β
It was only after the sun went out that everyone really realized its importance.
"How's the fusion research going?"
Chen Ji asked her.
Only nuclear fusion can wean humanity off its dependence on energy.
Coal will run out, oil will run out, and if humanity wants to develop, it must achieve controlled nuclear fusion!
"We're moving the fusion lab to the intersection of the four realms."
"Why?"
"Not for convenience."
Zhou Wan embarrassedly explained: "In fact, the existence of the intersection of the four realms is strictly kept secret, because we are afraid that people will want to move to that world after they find out. β
"You can move there."
Chen Ji said affirmatively: "That world is ownerless, and anyone can live." β
"Yes, it is possible to live, but the uncertainty is too great. The world is too small, the first generation is not stable, the possible changes are too big, and so on. We now regard the intersection of the four realms as the last peach blossom source for mankind, and if it is the most dangerous, we will let everyone escape there together. β
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Chen Ji agreed with the plan.
Indeed, it is not yet time to give up on this world.
The two of them circled around the Doom base, then took the hovertrain and went up to the surface.
Chen Ji saw the abnormality of the sun at first sight.
It expanded a lot, and a dark red glow took up a large area of the sky.
"It's been very unstable lately."
Zhou Wan looked at the sun and whispered, "But even so, there are still many people who have moved out of the Doomsday Base and come to live on the ground. β
With a lack of energy, the underground is too oppressive.
Chen Ji and her got in a car and came to the community where her home is located.
"Under the cover of living on the ground, the leaders designated my community as a settlement!"
Zhou Wan turned her head and smiled at him.
"A gathering place?"
It was a settlement three years ago, and now it has its name again.
The community has been renovated, and at least 3,000 people live nearby, and of course, Zhou Wan's house is closely guarded.
Chen Ji and her don't need to be authenticated, they only need to light up the light cluster on the guards to enter it - no one can imitate his ability, and Zhou Wan's spatial ability is the same.
"Chen Ji, are you here?"
Wei Hong of the research institute was busy directing people, moving a lot of equipment into Zhou Wan's house, putting it in the basement of the villa, and then sending it to the intersection of the four realms through the spatial rift.
Chen Ji didn't stay long, and he and Zhou Wan entered the rift again.
It still appeared at her house, but when she got to the ground, the sky had turned blue, and the sun was shining warmly on the earth.
The intersection of the four realms has been freed from the infection of evil gods and has become full of vitality.
The grass on the ground is pulling out its buds, and everything is so beautiful.
"I wish my planet could be like this again."
Zhou Wan said softly.
"Yes!"
Chen Ji said affirmatively.
He's going to have to figure out a way to get fusion out and rekindle the sun.
According to the changes in the intersection of the four realms and the Divine Grace Continent, once the sun appeared, it could immediately purify the diffuse black aura, far stronger than his light and heat ability.
