Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“This object, called ‘Green Soft Crystal’, is a very common crystal stone that can be burned with spiritual energy at 525 degrees and has great stability, often used in defensive and stabilizer arrays. ”

"Because it's stable enough and has excellent integration properties," said Li Yao, "it can be used when refining many magic treasures. Basically all refiners will carry one or two pieces with them. ”

Choi Lingfeng looked at Li Yao unknowingly.

“But I bought this' Green Soft Crystal 'not from the Firefly, but from the Dragon Snake Star, where it's not called this name, it's called' Bimang Crystal ’. ”

Li Yao seriously said, "Do you understand me, Speaker? In the Republic of the Stars, it's called 'Green Soft Crystal’, in the Federation of Stars and Glows, it's called ‘Bimante', but to me, I don't care what its name is, I only care if it's the kind of material I want, if it has the properties and effects I need! ”

“Whether it's called 'Green Soft Crystal' or ‘Bimante Crystal', its nature doesn't change a bit, its permeability is around 79%, its ignition point is still 525 degrees, its hardness, brittleness, fusion and action… it's all the same! ”

“So when I need to do an experiment, and I'm going to use this material, what exactly is its name and what does it matter? ”

“Conversely, the Starlight Federation also has a material called 'Green Soft Crystal’, which is quite different from what we call 'Green Soft Crystal', from nature to effect. Can I, like their name, use Starlight Federation's 'Green Soft Crystal’ for extremely dangerous experiments? ”

Choi Lingfeng slipped into deep thought.

“I don't usually have much contact with politics, I don't really understand what you were arguing about, and those things are too vague for me. ”

Li Yao thought about it for a long time and continued, “But if you really want me to make a choice, I don't think it makes sense that Captain Tang hasn't tried it. ”

“The Republic of the Stars and the Sea is of course a great nation, and we have countless proud histories and crying heroes, and even during the past millennium, the circle between us and the Empire has been a mysterious, turbulent legend, a miracle! ”

“So if we can ‘inject’ these proud histories, so many crying heroes and the miracles of the past millennium, into the Federation of Starlight, so that the Federation of Starlight can fully inherit the spirit and philosophy of the Republic of the Starlight, so that the people of the Federation of Starlight can think of our history as their history, and our heroes as their heroes, and our miracles as their miracles, wouldn't it be more important to do so than simply change its name? As long as the nature is the same, it doesn't matter if it's called" green soft crystal "or" Bimang crystal "! ”

“If it doesn't matter...”

Choi Lingfeng frowned, “Why can't you insist on calling it 'Green Soft Crystal'? ”

“This, because...”

Li Yaofei blinked quickly, “Because the Federation of Xingyao retains its original name, there is a greater practical benefit than renaming the Republic of the Star Sea! ”

“Oh?”

Choi Lingfeng had only considered “Professor Rhodes” as the object of the conversation, but I didn't think he could really say one, “What ‘practical benefits’?" ”

“Speaker, look, the media on the Firefly are now analyzing the upcoming war, and even I, a person who cares less about the country, can often hear a word. ”

"But I found that everyone's discussion of the situation was limited to how to deal with the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the Black Wind Fleet, as if defeating the Black Wind Fleet would be all the more auspicious. ”

“But I don't think that's right. The Black Wind Fleet is just an expeditionary army of the Empire. The Real Human Empire has stolen hundreds of great thousands of worlds from our star and sea republics, not to mention hundreds of thousands of starships, not to mention high-ranking Brothers! ”

“Even if we really beat the Black Wind Fleet, but as long as the Real Human Empire thinks we are a big enough threat to destroy us at all costs, we can send another 'White Wind Fleet’, ‘Yellow Wind Fleet’, ‘Purple Wind Fleet', Red Orange Red Green Green Blue Purple, a wave of Expeditionary Army rotation, how powerful our 'spirit' can be, only for the part of the Real Human Empire, right? ”

“Exactly. ”

Choi Lingfeng thought deeply, “Keep talking. ”

“The only reason the Real Human Empire did not do its utmost to sweep the star seaside is because they were caught up in the middle of the star sea by the Covenant Alliance. ”

"In the eyes of the Empire, competing with the Alliance for hegemony in the heart of the Star Sea is the most important thing, and sweeping away the ‘barbaric little country' on the edge of the Star Sea is nothing but a small thing - so we can get a chance to breathe and develop in secret. ”

“Assuming we beat the Black Wind Fleet now in the name of the 'Starlight Federation', and the news reaches the Empire's capital, Tianjing, perhaps the Empire will still see us as a stronger 'barbaric little nation', when dealing with us, it will weigh the advantages and disadvantages, calculate the losses, unlikely to draw out the elite power of confrontation with the Alliance to usurp us, even after calculating the cost of expedition and occupation too high, and possibly having to lose, will come up with thoughts of negotiation, takeover, solicitation, etc., huh? ”

“There has never been a central dynasty in history that could wipe out all the barbaric little nations around it, and the real human empire is no exception. ”

“But if we were to crush the Black Wind Fleet in the name of the 'Republic of the Stars and Seas', that would be two things altogether. ”

“For the Real Human Empire, the Starling Sea Republic is a 'forward dynasty', and the process of stealing 'forward dynasty' power is not very glorious. We will always be a prick in the throat of the Empire, like a prick in the throat! ”

“The discovery of an unknown barbaric small country by the stars and perhaps tolerated by the empire; the discovery of a ‘forward dynasty' resurgence and the ability to destroy an elite fleet of empires is an unbearable threat that is shaking the ‘home' of the true human empire! ”

“At that time, the Real Human Empire will surely send at all costs... what I just said, 'Red, Orange, Red, Green, Green, Blue, Purple’, a constant expeditionary army to destroy ‘the remnants of the previous dynasty'! ”

“To sum up, I mean, the name 'Starlight Federation’ is quite low-key. ‘Starsea Republic' is too high-profile. We are so weak now, we really don't need to care about these fictitious names. It's only right to survive first! ”

Choi Lingfeng stared at Li Yao. His eyes were particularly deep. He wondered whether Li Yao's words had been heard or whether he was thinking about other issues. He suddenly said: "I didn't expect that Professor Rhode was not only a brilliant refiner, but he also had such a strategic vision. ”

Li Yao: “Well, I usually watch some media political commentary after the refiner, as a way of relaxing and brain gymnastics. ”

Choi Lingfeng: "… Really? ”

Li Yao glanced at the indifferent big dog bear bodyguard on both sides, just wondering how to deal with it. The vacuum piping car trembled slightly and seemed to slip to the exit.

“Speaker, we're here. ”

Cheng Xuansou stepped out of the car and gently opened the door from the outside. The four bodyguards clamped Choi Lingfeng and Li Yao out of the car.

But it's not like "Battle Castle One," it's an abandoned station with dim lights, rusty spots and empty spaces.

I don't know where the rusty wind comes from, which makes this place feel a little haunted.

“Psst! Psst! ”

Behind Li Yao and Choi Lingfeng, all four big dog bear bodyguards silently summoned the armor and turned it into a four-headed steel beast.

Cheng Xuanxin's three crystalline eyes on his left face were red as if to drip blood. The head of the secret police drew a large-calibre miniature arrow burst gun from the waist, staring at Choi Lingfeng without expression.

Everything goes without saying.

Choi Lingfeng gauged the surrounding environment, slightly trembling. Understood, his face faintly said: “Aren't you Cheng Xuanzhen? ”

“No.”

The head of the security guard lowered his head to regulate the frequency of the crystalline turbulence of the target gun, fading away, “I am Cheng Xuanxin, not impersonated. ”

“It's impossible. Anyone on the Firefly could be a fairy fixer, but you can't! ”

Choi Lingfeng was bombarded like an Imperial Fleet shell, and the entire population was devoured by invisible flames. "Your father was the biggest hero of the Firefly for a thousand years. He led us through a blockade hundreds of times the size of the Imperial Army. Without his final and mighty sacrifice, we would never have made it to this day! ”

“You're his daughter. How could you be a fairy fixer? How could you surrender to the Empire? ”

Cheng Xuansou smiled and laughed like a starship shell in the dark stars: “That man is not my father, he is just my sperm provider. It was not until two hundred and seventy-eight years after his death that you extracted the sperm he had stored in the depths of the starships and gave birth to me - him and me, in no way. ”

“Why?”

Choi Lingfeng said, “Do you want to do this? ”

“You made us do it. ”

Cheng Xuansu said, “We didn't intend to kill you, you are a pretty good arrow shield, you can stabilize the situation on the Firefly as much as possible before the arrival of the Black Wind Fleet, and let you go out to control the Starlight Federation. It's weird that your suspicion is too serious, and you have come up with a random choice of a refiner to check the 'polygraph', and we... Professor Rhodes, the professionalism is so high that we really see the breakthrough - we have no choice but to do this. ”

Choi Lingfeng raised his voice: “I'm asking you why you betrayed your father, betrayed the glory of the Starling Sea Republic, and relied on the Empire of the Real Humanity! ”
