On this day, the Grand Patriarch convened a meeting of the three patriarchs, and invited the technical counselor Suni to participate.

At the meeting, the servant said: "For a long time, our north has lagged behind the south in terms of technological progress, which has caused us to lose the pastures of the river bends. ”

Donghuo Patriarch Gu Na: "Yes, the great patriarch, on the surface, although the southerners are only borrowing the land of the river bend, we all know in our hearts that it is just giving us a face, in fact, it is to seize the land of the river bend;

In addition, they sent troops across the river without our permission, which is obviously too much deception. ”

Sihohela said loudly: "Great Patriarch, we must develop our science and technology as soon as possible, especially in military technology, and we must spare no effort to develop rapidly, otherwise, the south will continue to encroach on our Hebei pastures." ”

"I also know," said the servant, "that the Gusi people will not be satisfied when they get the land of the river, and their eyes will always be fixed on our entire Hebei pasture, and sooner or later they will stir up trouble again, which is why I have asked the two of you to come and discuss." ”

Hela turned her head, "Suni, tell me what you think." ”

Suni stood up and bowed, "Patriarchs, thank you for allowing me to attend such an important meeting; I have two immature opinions, please-"

The servant interrupted Suni, "Suni, don't be so polite, if you have something to say, say it happily." ”

Suni nodded: "Okay, then I'll be blunt; On our own, we will not be able to defeat the South. First, the population of our north is too small to have enough soldiers; Secondly, we are too backward in conventional weapons to fight the South, and we cannot use thermonuclear weapons. ”

Hela nodded frequently, "Suni hit the nail on the head, the entire Hall clan has a population of no more than one million; The southern Gusi people have a population of tens of millions, which is indeed a huge gap. ”

Guna also lamented, "In the last conflict, we not only lost hundreds of warships, but also thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, which is really sad." ”

"What countermeasures do you have for the problem of the source of soldiers, Suni?" The servant humbly asked.

Suni bowed and said, "Great Patriarch, I have been to Sirius, although the people of Sirius live a difficult life, they are all brave and good at fighting, they are all natural warriors, and they can recruit some to fight for us. ”

Hela: "That's great, in the earliest days, we were Sirius, so we're distant relatives. ”

The servant nodded, "Recruit some Sirius, I think you can consider it." ”

Guna asked again: "Suni, what about the technology, how can we improve, you must also have a good way." ”

Suni leaned over again and said: "Technically, I also have some ideas, we must bypass thermonuclear weapons and make some new attempts." ”

The servant nodded, "Thermonuclear weapons must be put aside, they can't be used." ”

"Combined with our current technical conditions, I can design a completely new weapon, the magnesium cannon; This type of shell mainly uses magnesium metal, but uses two gases, oxygen and neon;

Oxygen is all around us, but magnesium and neon we have to go to Sirius to get it, and I know where to find it. ”

The servant was overjoyed, took Suni's hand and said, "That's really a double win, let's go to Sirius, we can recruit warriors, and we can also get new materials. ”

Hela also said happily: "With these two things, we will definitely be able to defeat the south and retake the land of the bends." ”

The servant looked at the two patriarchs, "Then let's do it, let's go to Sirius, let Suni be specifically responsible, and we will fully cooperate with all the materials and equipment needed." ”

Sirius was far away, and it would take at least two years to make the round trip, so it took a lot of time to prepare the supplies needed for the road.

Suni specially asked the patriarch to arrange a hundred tons of beef jerky for the Sirius people as a meeting gift; The favorite thing for Sirians is not gold and silver coins, but delicious food

Of course, in addition to beef, there are also some special foods from the pasture.

When everything was ready, Suni set off with five starships, including two frigates and three transports; There were 600 soldiers on board the frigate, which was managed by the commander of the fleet, Guya.

Sirius, located southwest of the constellation Orion, is the brightest star in the night sky to the south.

It is a well-known binary star system; Sirius A is the bright blue-white star that can be seen, and Sirius B is a white dwarf.

Sirius B has a planet called Balan, where Sirius people live.

In one corner of the Sirius binary system, there is also a smaller white dwarf called Sirius N, which is a dying white dwarf star that has little heat in its core, so it neither emits light nor heats up, making it difficult to observe.

Although Sirius N is often overlooked, it has the metals magnesium and neon that Suni is looking for.

After eleven months of travel, Sirius finally arrived, and Suni's starship landed steadily on the planet Balan, stopping next to a cave.

The weather was bad on this day, it happened to be windy, the sky was full of red dust, and the ground was also flying sand and rocks.

After the wind passed, Suni and his party came down from the starship.

There were already dozens of people looking at the entrance of the cave, and one of them, an elderly man, stepped forward to greet them.

"My name is Batu, I'm the chief here, welcome to Balan!"

Suni returned the salute and followed Batu into the cave, where there was a low table in the middle of the cave with a worn blanket around it, and everyone sat around the table.

Although there were a few torches lit on the walls around them, the light was still dim, so the chief Batu had a few candles brought and placed on the table, so that everyone could see each other's faces.

Suni carefully observed the dozen or so locals in the cave, and the Sirius people still retained some of the physical features of the ancients, and could faintly see the shadows of wolves, their eyes were tilted to the sides, their ears were pointed, they had a prominent chin, and even the two canine teeth were a little pointed.

They are also tall, all over two meters, with a strong muscle, in fact, not only that, millions of years of evolution, so that their bones also contain a lot of metal components, which are difficult to break.

After sitting for a while, everyone felt chills on their bodies, the Sirius people were used to it, and they only surrounded the animal skins, but Suni and the others shivered.

Batu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to build a bonfire in the cave to keep everyone warm.

Batu said: "The cold star is in the sky, it is a cold moon, and Mars will be back in the next week." ”

Suni stood up and looked at the simple furnishings of the cave, where there were animal skins, bows and arrows, and some wood-carved faces and totems on the walls, many of which were related to the image of wolves.

Batu also stood up, "We have lived like this since ancient times, the conditions on Balan are harsh, there is a lack of food, and we usually hunt some prey to make ends meet, but our people here are naturally warlike, and everyone is the best warrior. ”

Suni nodded yes, and explained his purpose was to recruit a group of samurai.

Batu arranged for someone to gather a dozen samurai living nearby, wait outside the cave, and then pull Suni and the others to watch outside the cave.
