Chapter 391: It's Time
Zhang Hao quietly withdrew his gaze overlooking the starry sky.
Today, the interstellar high-speed transportation equipment, which is being tested to the limit, finally has a problem. Well, the word 'finally' is used.
Many people think that it is best if the test is not damaged. But that's a quality check. Testing is to do the worst, to test the limits of technology.
After a long period of operation, the structure responsible for opening the subspace and bearing the space pressure and energy transmission pressure has deteriorated, and the space gate has fluctuated, but with the excellent technical support, the researchers still guide the unmanned spacecraft to return safely, and then part of the structural parts of the space gate will break, the energy path will be broken, and the space gate will be closed.
As the space-time portal closed, ten more unmanned spacecraft rushed into subspace from the other end. This time it was deliberately arranged, to test the security of the subspace, etc.
In order to avoid possible changes, these ships that rushed into subspace were set to self-destruct. As soon as an external force turns on, or an unknown life enters the ship, the ship self-destructs.
Even the technical designers of the Ocean Group and the Blue Star Group have considered the 'electromagnetic life' of science fiction - a life that only has an electromagnetic wave structure, or other similar life.
Since the establishment of the Ocean Group and science, the cultivators of this starry sky have never returned on the road of science fiction.
In addition to extreme testing, equipment is now tested for war damage – what should and should be done if attacked.
In the face of this kind of technology that needs to borrow from the subspace, everyone dare not be sloppy in the slightest.
Zhang Hao just paid attention to the on-site test, and then continued to be busy with other things. At present, Zhang Hao has two things to care about.
The first is the Gate of the World. It's been nearly a year since the last war, and the Celestial Demon World seems to be honest. But everyone speculates that this is just gathering strength and waiting for the next attack.
However, the Blue Star Group also uses the latest space technology to tightly seal the vicinity of the world's gates.
In the past year, everyone has tested each other, and there are actually a lot of small battles, but in the past year, because of the progress of the Blue Star Group's technology, the Heavenly Demon World has hit a wall many times. But anyone can feel that a big war could break out at any time.
Of course, this 'anytime' also has to be calculated according to interstellar time - maybe tomorrow, maybe more than ten years from now. It is possible even for hundreds of years.
Everyone speculated that the demon saint Yongji last time would take at least a hundred years to initially cultivate. But it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't start a war before you cultivate it. Not to mention that huge Heavenly Demon World.
For this reason, the Blue Star Group is also constantly trying to invade the Heavenly Demon World - it was the Heavenly Demon World invasion before, and now it is the Blue Star Group invasion, and the fighting, infiltration, assassination, etc. between the two sides near the World Gate are almost non-stop.
The Blue Star Group needs to obtain materials and other materials from the Heavenly Demon World, and the Heavenly Demon World also likes to gnaw on the flesh and blood of cultivators.
It's a pity that the Blue Star Group has made technological progress recently, mecha are getting more and more powerful, and many exploratory wars are drones, robots, etc. In the face of these steel bumps, the heavenly demons' angry teeth itched, and they were still helpless.
The legion of the Blue Star Group has also rushed into the Heavenly Demon World many times, using the stars of the Heavenly Demon World to set up formations, although the power is very weak because of the lack of aura, it has already aroused the vigilance of the Heavenly Demon World. And the legions of the Blue Star Group also used this method to trap and kill many legions of the Heavenly Demon World.
However, in the battle in the past year, everyone has a tacit understanding, and the cultivation level is only limited to the level of the peak of the Heavenly Immortals, or it is created by the Blue Star Group.
Every time a heavenly demon above the king level appears in the demon world, there will be masters on the side of the Blue Star Group who will hunt by unscrupulous means. If the Heavenly Demon World does not appear, then the masters of the Blue Star Group will stand by and watch.
After coming and going, such a state is formed. The Heavenly Demon World seems to be happy to do the same, and everyone is still testing and learning from each other.
The recently captured Heavenly Demon captives had already found slight traces of cultivation—traces of refining and refining qi. The Heavenly Demon World was actually studying the cultivation method.
Of course, the Blue Star Group is not worried about the Heavenly Demon World's 'complete transformation of cultivation', the Heavenly Demon World has no aura, and if you want to change your cultivation methods, you basically don't have to think about it.
But what if they touch the bypass, what about refining their own exercises with reference to the modifiers? This possibility is not already there, but is happening!
Facing the extremely difficult Zhou Tian Great World, the Heavenly Demon World is learning everything about the Zhou Tian World, especially cultivation and science and technology.
At present, the Heavenly Demon World has learned some scientific ideas and primary techniques, and uses these to improve their combat skills, etc.
The Blue Star Group is accumulating strength, and the other party is also accumulating strength, and no one is stupid. In the military competition, it is like walking a tightrope on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. But we still need to continue to walk the tightrope, at least Bluestar Group still needs time!
Fortunately, the last time the demon saint suffered too many losses, not to mention that he almost lost his life, his heavenly king-level demon (Da Luo Jin Xian) lost 11, and the overall military force suffered serious losses, and he did not dare to act rashly in a short period of time.
After Zhang Hao completely sorted out the situation here at the gate of the world, he began to arrange the second thing, which was the trade war.
The trade war has officially begun, and all kinds of related work, especially the division of interests of all parties, need Zhang Hao's concern. More important is the beginning of the trade war.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, although Zhang Hao must adjust according to the reactions of the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire.
In fact, Zhang Hao should have been on the front line, but for various reasons, Zhang Hao had to stay in the rear.
Even if a super communication system has been set up now, it will take a month for the signal to travel from the Blue Star Group to the western borders of the Minghui Empire and the Great Xia Empire.
If you wait for the pill trade to be implemented within the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire, I am afraid that it will take more than two months for the signal to come and go - there is no ultra-high-speed communication technology in the Tianshui Empire.
Fortunately, the trade war is not a war, and the timeliness is less urgent, and the temporary transaction can be regarded as a benefit to the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire - fishing always requires bait. Besides, the Bluestar Group does not mean that there is no one except Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao is more about macro control, and it really involves the details, and he still has to be specifically responsible.
In addition, Zhang Hao was waiting for Zhang Yinghao - Zhang Yinghao sent a message to Zhang Hao, saying that Prince Rui had given Zhang Hao the wealth of the empire, and Zhang Hao was curious about what it was.
Zhang Yinghao used Da Luo Jinxian's means to advance; according to the speed of Da Luo Jin Xian, after Zhang Hao received the information, it was estimated that it would be enough to wait for another month or so. I don't know exactly what it is.
It is impossible to say that Zhang Hao is not curious, and it will definitely not be a lie if Zhang Yinghao can personally say that it is the wealth of an empire, or that Prince Rui personally gave it.
However, Zhang Hao also guessed: Prince Rui sent it, not the Emperor of the Minghui Empire, so this 'wealth' must have nothing to do with the country, noble titles, etc.
Zhang Hao and this Prince Rui have not been in direct contact, but Bai Ye and Huang Wentian have been in contact, and there is indirect cooperation between Zhang Hao and Prince Rui. So Zhang Hao still knows a little about Prince Rui.
Since Prince Rui has given himself such a 'wealth', it must be useful! It is certainly not a blank check or something, or like a dragon's horn, which can only be seen but cannot be used.
In addition, considering the current situation of the Ocean Group, there are really good things that cannot be kept.
Is it difficult, what did Prince Rui send?
Unique exercises?
A promise?
Or is it a special elixir?
Or what kind of slave - there are interstellar means of refining masters into slaves and the like.
Zhang Hao was thoughtful, and his heart was full of expectations.
Calculating the time, Zhang Yinghao will arrive in more than 20 days, and Zhang Hao can't help but be a little excited.
............
It is said that when Zhang Hao's heart was excited, far away here in the Red River Empire, the three princes were also very excited.
After more than a month of arrangement, everything is ready to go.
Just three minutes ago, he finally gave the order: Shoot!
When it is interrupted, it will be disturbed, especially ...... Coup!
Yes, the three princes planned a coup d'état, and it only took a little more than a month before and after, to be exact, from the finalization of the plan to the final execution, it only took about ten days.
Coup d'état, the most afraid of long nights and dreams. If you want to do it, you can't reflect it, and others can't react!
We can't make a coup d'état known to everyone, because even if it succeeds, it will bring great damage. The three princes carried out a coup d'état, ostensibly to seize power, but the ultimate goal was to strengthen the country, so it was of course better to achieve the goal with the least loss.
However, it is said that in the Red River Empire and the royal control area, there is a planet called 'Hongmen', which is also a gold cave, which is the largest gold cave in the Red River Empire. Of course, this is also a fallen world!
To what extent has it degenerated here? The Red River Empire has been divided into three, but here the sons and daughters of the high-level of the three parties can still hook up their shoulders.
In particular, some nobles in the royal control area are basically stepping on two boats, and they even regard the 'Hongmen' as a semi-public, springboard for external contact.
This time, the third prince personally invited the 'representatives' of all parties to come. Among them, there are two princes, four princes, and the rest of the princes, and there are even major nobles and so on.
The third prince bought some of the flesh and blood of the Heavenly King-level Heavenly Demon from the Ocean Group, which was not much, that is, ten tons, but it was just enough for the entire high-level of the Red River Empire to taste it. The flesh and blood of such a heavenly demon, even if it is not alchemized, just swallowing it has unimaginable benefits.
In addition, there are about 1,500 grams of powder left behind from cutting dragon horns. Although it is powder, it is also the powder of the Demon Saint Dragon Horn! I don't know how many people's eyes are red.
Don't think that if the Ocean Group can receive two backbones of more than 2,000 kilometers, you will feel that the dragon horns of the quasi-saint are worthless.
Using these flesh and blood, plus some king-level Heavenly Demons' flesh and blood, as well as a large number of Heavenly Demon's Demon Pills (Heavenly Beads), and a large number of medicinal materials unique to the Heavenly Demon World, etc., an auction was held, and the entire Red and Empire was invited.
In addition, the three princes also took out some good things, and gathered a lot of treasures through auctions.
This auction claimed that the total value of all the auction items exceeded one-tenth of the Red River Empire's financial revenue, and it was also named the first auction of the Red River Empire.
Because it is located in the area controlled by the royal family, almost all the nobles came, and everyone regarded this place as a 'friendship exchange'.
The dance music from the Tianyuan Star civilization has a bright and lively rhythm, and the short videos played on the big screen are wonderful.
Except for the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince and the emperor, except for a few officials and generals on duty, they are basically all there.
At this time, the second butler of the third prince, 'Qu Menchong', who suddenly appeared in the public eye recently, is warmly greeting everyone.
In the midst of the staggering, Qu Menchong suddenly raised his hand and looked at his watch, then walked to the stage and shouted to everyone: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet, the time is up, the time will be soon!"
"What time is it?" the second prince drank some wine and walked a little fluttering.
Qu Menchong said loudly: "The fleet transporting the auction items has arrived, and the Three Princes' Palace personally escorted it. The auction is about to start, are you ready?"
"Haha, that's no need to say!" cheers rang out one after another.
Qu Menchong said loudly: "Then, let's count down together." 60 seconds to go!"
As he spoke, Qu Menchong switched the content on the screen, and the words countdown appeared, and in the pattern behind the screen, the images of the Demon Saint and the Heavenly King-level Heavenly Demon began to appear.
The atmosphere got a peak for a while.
"Qu Menchong!" a sweet voice of surprise floated up.
Qu Menchong turned his head and saw Qilian Liyun dressed in jewelry. It's just that although Qilian Liyun was dressed in pearls at this time, she couldn't hide the kitsch atmosphere from her bones.
Qi Lian Liyun shook off a half-aged monk beside him and rushed towards Qu Menchong in surprise.
However, at this time, Qu Menchong just glanced at the other party coldly, turned his head and said to the security guards around him and the auction hall: "Why do you let everyone in?"
The security guard immediately stepped forward and pushed the screaming Qi Lian Liyun out with a spell.
The countdown is still on the big screen.
A smile reappeared on Qu Menchong's face: "Okay, a little episode, let's continue to wait for the miracle......!" 21 seconds, 20 seconds......"
But just when there were ten seconds left, someone suddenly spoke: "I feel uneasy in my heart. What about you?"
"As soon as you say it, so do I, how can there be a countdown to the auction. How does it feel like ...... Death?"
"There are so many of us. And Qu Menchong is also there. ”
"Hey, yes, think about it too much......"
People have a herd mentality. Seeing that there were so many people around, coupled with the enthusiastic dance music in the venue, everyone was relieved again.
There were two seconds left.
Qu Menchong waved his hand: "It's time, everyone, goodbye!"
Before the words fell, Qu Menchong's figure flashed and disappeared suddenly.
All:......
Everyone was really shocked this time. Nima, didn't you say that the third prince personally escorted it? Didn't you say that the auction items were about to arrive? Why did you leave?
You're back!
But there were already people who reacted quickly and activated the immediate teleportation talisman seal on their body, but they only saw the talisman seal burning, and there was no movement.
"The surrounding space is sealed!" someone screamed.
Panic, exploded in an instant!
