Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

So simply excuse that the cook has done too much and let them sit down and "deal with it".At least not so stiff.

"Ah, Master Taiwei, don't rush to eat," Satellite said hurriedly, "This time we came back from the Weixi Empire, and we all brought some things that might be useful. Among them, I have a small thing that I want to eat." Let the Taiwei take a look."

"Oh?" Qin Ji was full of curiosity about this. Only then did he notice that Satellite had been carrying an exquisite box since he entered the door. When the servants picked up the luggage just now, it was the only box. He kept holding it in his hand from the beginning, "Since you don't even eat, it must be something important, so let me appreciate it."

The satellite nodded, then placed the box on a large table, and then unlocked the box.And inside, there is a strange machine.

The workmanship of that machine was very rough, with various incomprehensible characters and symbols engraved on it, and it was made of metal, and some parts of it seemed to be connected with levers.

Qin Ji looked at this thing, confused.

Although the productivity of this era is much higher than that of ancient times in his world, Qin Ji doesn't think that anyone can come up with something like a steam engine and an internal combustion engine, let alone this machine.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is a machine specially brought back from the Weixi Empire. Although the Weixi Empire is inferior to our army in terms of combat quality, and its tactics and strategic decisions are often rigid, its equipment is impressive. It's amazing."

"This object was originally used on the holy armor of the Holy Knights of the Church. However, the Weixi Empire has weakened the influence of the Holy See in recent years, so this armor has gradually been used by the army."

"And this thing is a very important part of the armor."

Hearing what he said, Qin Ji suddenly became interested.

Finally came into contact with black technology other than Daxia.

Daxia is taking the path of cultivation, and he is cultivating himself.In other words, after cultivating to a certain level, people can completely bring their own body armor.

Just like him, if the spiritual energy is activated in the body, it will be difficult to be broken.

However, Qin Ji also knows that this way is not the norm after all.

Not everyone in Daxia is a cultivator. Although ordinary people can learn the basic way of using aura after systematic study, the army also has the design of the army array to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the formed army (equivalent to adding a group buff ), but this still does not leave the scope of traditional melee combat, throwing, and archery.

It is true that there are also those who know long-range spells like Lingyan and other celestial masters and warlocks, but the learning of spells is much more complicated than conventional exercises, and most of them require extremely strong memory and logical ability, which is why most On the surface, mages seem to be gentle, because learning magic requires you to have a brain with fast enough calculations.

A noble person like him since he was a child can easily receive the best resources to learn some spells, but even a person like Qin Ji only knows a few spells, and it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to learn. Tan.

Many people of insight in Great Xia have been trying to allow ordinary soldiers to use powerful spells, but this idea is still being explored.Now that the satellites have brought this, maybe it will play a big role.

"Have you brought their holy armor?"

he asked eagerly.

However, facing his inquiry, Satellite shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, Mr. Taiwei, I also hoped to pay some price in exchange for a complete set of holy armor. But the people from the Weixi Empire said that they There is nothing we can do about it, because the use of the Holy Armor is still being watched by the Church."

"Is that so..."

The other party's words conveyed two meanings:

First, although the Weixi Empire is now trying to get rid of the church, it has not yet reached the level where it can truly oppose the church.

Second, the technical core of their holy armor is probably not entirely in the machine in front of them, but in the holy armor itself.

Tsk, the evil church, the hindrance to the progress of the world's productive forces!

Qin Ji muttered viciously in his heart.

"However, although we couldn't bring the actual holy armor, I still asked someone to get me a set of the holy armor."

After Satellite said this, Qin Ji's eyes lit up.

"Give me Kangkang!"

Chapter 3 eye-opening

"Look, Lieutenant, this is their holy armor. Here is the arm, and here is the breastplate. This kind of holy armor can be moved to a certain extent under the drive of the machine I brought."

"This kind of holy armor, soldiers can run thousands of miles without excessive energy consumption as long as they put it on, and both its strength and protective performance are far superior to those of our Great Xia armor."

In front of Qin Ji, Satellite pointed out the things on the holy armor model in detail.

"What is their source of motivation?"

Qin Ji asked that very soulful question.

Since it is driven by that machine, the machine brought back by the satellite must be the power core of the whole set of holy armor. Considering that the number of paladins is relatively small and they are elite units, there is a high probability that this set of holy armor is needed Power sources that are relatively expensive or difficult to obtain.

"It is said that the source of its power is a mineral they call magic crystal. I checked it out. This mineral is generally called Lingshi in our Great Xia."

"Spirit stone?!"

Qin Ji understood immediately.

Lingshi, this thing is actually a very common mineral. To put it bluntly, it is a mineral similar to "sediment" in the process of aura circulation in this world.

Unlike the oil in his original world, Lingshi is a renewable resource, and the regeneration speed is not slow, and the stock is also large.

However, the amount of application is still not large now, because Lingshi is very fragile, and secondly, although it stores a large amount of spiritual energy, it is not stable, and it is difficult to find a reliable long-term storage method.

The holy armor uses this thing as power, so there is a high probability that the "spiritual stone" will be used as a source of magic power storage, so that the magic power in it will flow through the pre-designed spells, thereby stimulating fixed spells to feed back to the holy armor .

After all, he also noticed that there are some strange symbols on the model of the Holy Armor, and there are such things on that machine.

How should I put it, it's no wonder that this machine is rough in appearance. I'm afraid that even the person in charge of developing it in the Weixi Empire doesn't have a deep understanding of it, and most of this machine is still used as a consumable.

Since it is a consumable that has not been studied in depth, it must be made as long as it can be used.

Qin Ji didn't intend to use spirit stones to make guns or anything like that. It was a little more difficult to make, and spirit stones themselves were not very controllable—since they were part of the world's aura cycle, they could be used in appropriate conditions. Before the emergence of preservation methods, the degree of aura dissipation was very high.

As a reserve, it needs to be carried on the body. This effect may not be good, and it may be common for bombs to go off and so on.

"Although the Holy Armor you brought back is very important, in my opinion, this machine is the most important." Qin Ji said.

He is telling the truth. He is not optimistic about the so-called Holy Armor. It is not that the Holy Armor is not strong, but that its production cost is high, and the probability of battery life is not too high. Stable minerals are used as the power source, so it is conceivable that its battery life will not be stable).

What he is really optimistic about is the transformation machine that can use spirit stones as power.

This thing is a good thing. Although it can't be realized now, you can try it in the future.

"I will consider finding someone to study this thing in the future, but for now, let's eat the food in front of us first." Qin Ji withdrew his thoughts.

It's a bit unrealistic to do this now, because there are no talents and no technical foundation, and the main research direction of Daxia is not here. The schools are still mainly based on spells and exercises, and a lot of research on aura is also in Dazheng. use.In an environment where talents and technologies are not available in this field, it is too early to study this.

"Oh, by the way," he suddenly thought of a question, "Did His Majesty call you here?"

"Yes. We met with His Majesty first, and then came to Taiwei, after all, we haven't seen her since His Majesty ascended the throne, so we should see her when we come back this time."

"Well, well done," Qin Ji nodded, "What did His Majesty say when he asked you to come over?"

Facing Qin Ji's question, Weixing truthfully told everything.

However, when he said that Xia Yuxiao asked them to visit the Taiwei, and then they resigned, Qin Ji patted himself on the head speechlessly.

These idiots...

"No, Your Majesty told you to come to see me, and you just agreed to come down?"

"Ah, otherwise? This is what His Majesty said..."

"I said Weixing, you seem to be a little older than me, right? Why don't you think about it? You should be polite to His Majesty..." Qin Ji felt very helpless towards his subordinate, "Your Majesty told you to come, so you will come. If you are a little narrow-minded, you will probably hold grudges."

"What's the point of revenge?"

Satellites are indeed the best of these officers.But his ability to handle affairs is basically only reflected in generals. If he was really put in the court, he would barely pass.

The emperor saw you, exchanged some pleasantries, and then asked you to meet the Taiwei. You immediately agreed to come down without saying a word, turned around and went to see the Taiwei... This operation, the small-minded emperor might just do it. Want to:

Oh, you guys just left so simply, are you in a hurry to see the Taiwei?

At least you have to have a few words with the emperor?If people tell you to leave, you will really leave. Why are these young officers so honest?

Qin Ji sighed, but there was no way, who let them be promoted by themselves, their abilities are outstanding, but it is also because of this reason, after all, age is there, and most of them are not Qin Ji, who has been immersed since childhood. How can an old fritter in this kind of officialdom guarantee the level of officialdom?

"The next time you encounter this situation, you should tell your majesty: I haven't seen you with your majesty for a long time, but I see you today, and I will answer all your majesty's questions. By the way, don't always be brought to me. You are really stupid to jump in, you pull it."

Qin Ji could only teach him this way.

"Yes, I understand."

Satellite said humbly.

Seeing how humble his subordinate was, Qin Ji felt relieved.

He was really afraid that the future fresh blood of the empire would be killed because they couldn't play with those old men.

He can keep this group of people, but what if they are out of his protection?Now those old guys in the empire, not one or two want to kill them.

"Lingyan, don't look at me anymore, let's eat together, you haven't eaten yet."

Qin Ji beckoned, Lingyan hesitated for a moment, then sat obediently beside him.

However, everyone present looked at Qin Ji and Lingyan as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone's gaze made Qin Ji a little uncomfortable.

Ah no, eat, why not eat?

Chapter 4 Misunderstanding

Lingyan didn't understand what these people were looking at her.

She looked down at her clothes, she was wearing them normally, although it was not the delicate clothes she usually wears when she travels, but a looser home-style skirt, but at least there was nothing wrong with it.And they didn't show their flesh or anything. Why are they always looking at themselves when they have nothing to do?

"That, Lord Taiwei..."

"what happened?"

Qin Ji picked up the warm milk beside him, took a sip, and asked.

His eyes happened to meet the satellite, and he saw the expression of the satellite.

Afterwards, Qin Ji pondered for a moment and understood something: "Lingyan, you go and tell the butler that there is no wine at this banquet, and ask him to bring good wine to entertain everyone."

"Yes, sir."

Lingyan obeyed Qin Ji's orders almost unconditionally. Even though she knew that her young master was trying to distract her, she still carried out his orders happily.

Seeing Lingyan get up and leave, Qin Ji looked at everyone present, and then smiled:

"I don't know what happened to you today? Why are you staring at me?"

"Master Taiwei..." Satellite looked at the colleagues around him with some embarrassment, and then mustered up his courage.
