I will hunt down this world

Li Shun nodded slightly, and asked again:

"Does Mingjing have the signal source you put in?"

"Yes, the light weight and other modules of this equipment have not yet been developed. In order to collect data, the experimental signal source has not yet been recovered. As one of the experimental sites, Mingjing has multiple places to launch, and the signal can basically cover the whole area. In addition to Mingjing, there are also several points in Sangcheng, Xicheng, Yangcheng and Lidu."

Xicheng?

Li Shun's heart skipped a beat.

But this is not the time to think about it, his expression is slightly cold, and there is a dangerous calm in his voice:

"Then...connect me to Mingjing's landmark [Wall of Night Sky], the room on the top floor, right now."

Li Ying keenly sensed the strong emotions hidden by her brother.

"Brother, are you going to..."

"It's time to get it over with, you, me, and... Li Zhao."

Li Shun tapped his fingers lightly on the long table, his eyes were as cold as night and as sharp as a knife.

Chapter 230 II Promise You the Sky and Mooring

Li Ying began to manipulate Pope according to his words, linking the cross-airspace communication channel.

But seeing her put a pair of small hands into the dough-like pop, after some kneading, this small glutinous rice ball suddenly disintegrated into countless gray particles, and then flickered brightly and darkly.

At the beginning, the particle entities could be seen, but soon the particle entities were lost in the air. Li Shun noticed that the girl's eyes had become empty and hopeless, as if she had transcended space and concepts, and cast her gaze to a distant place.

This state didn't last long, after only about half a minute, Li Ying came back to her senses and nodded to Li Shun.

After a while, following the distorted and flickering light and shadow configuration in the space, a lonely figure appeared not far in front of the brother and sister.

The woman in light palace attire sits on the edge of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looks out. The moon-white and bright red teeth are intertwined, making her desolate and lonely temperament like a moon wheel more light and distant.

Her light blue shoulder-length hair is blowing in the wind, and the red string on the tip of the hair is eye-catching, as if dyed with cinnabar. Just one look, it will be burned into the depths of the soul.

The woman seemed to be aware of it, and she turned slightly sideways, revealing a pair of dark blue pupils that were never extinguished, but with a background that was as frosty as ever, and her almost perfect profile.

Empress Li Zhao.

After the separation of the three sons of the Li family in 110, relying on Li Ying's excellent skills, this reunion after a ten-year gap was finally made possible.

"what."

Li Zhao was slightly surprised, and then chuckled:

"It's Ah Shun, rare visitor."

Li Shun looked at Li Zhao's figure, but did not answer.

The reunion after ten years was supposed to be the thing he was most looking forward to in his life.

only...

The youngest sister wandered in Chang'an and was controlled by others and became a marionette. The eldest sister abandoned her family affection and transformed into a ruthless superior. And he himself became a bloody and bloody hunter.

Everything has long been distorted.

The cruel world alienates people's hearts, which is normal. The happy family and peaceful life he pursues may be just a vain illusion.

In such a world, some people can still taste temporary peace, but Li Shun is not so honored. The once ordinary, happy and carefree boyhood, now that I think about it, is probably the last wings and tenderness of his father.

"The use of cross-airspace communication technology with great fanfare is not just for the sake of seeing me. But Ah Shun, wait a minute, I just have something to ask Xiaoying."

With a smile on his face, Li Zhao carefully looked at the lights and shadows of Li Shun and Li Ying who appeared in front of her at the same time, and said with emotion:

"Breaking through the [Xu Tian Boundary] that has bound the hands and feet of Chinese careerists for 30 years, and completing the seamless connection between the earth and the sky regardless of physical distance, the cross-airspace communication technology...is really easy to use, no wonder it is only willing to sell it to Taishan Yes, I can't even exchange the "fallen breeding outfit" unique to the agency, and I'm holding Xiaoying in my hand, that old fox really has the right to look down on the technology on the ground."

After a pause, she asked:

"Xiaoying, what is its core principle?"

"Switch the nature of the psionic energy wave to the Guru state, and establish a co-frequency and co-expansion relationship with... and the virtual world, so as to complete the two-way interaction of sound and image at the same time."

Li Ying started to explain habitually, but suddenly realized halfway through the speech, and glanced at Li Shun hesitantly, seeing that he didn't stop her, she finished speaking.

"Who is Guru?" Li Zhao asked with great interest.

"It's just an ordinary sixth-level researcher. Room zero transformed the wave state of psionic energy through the collision experiment. From 1029 attempts, it found 4 kinds of wave states that are highly compatible with the general boundary of the virtual sky. Named after the name, the Guru state is the one with the highest degree of adaptation."

"I see."

Li Zhao nodded and asked again:

"Since sounds and images can be transmitted in the guru state, and so on, can psychic energy, psionic pulses, etc. also be transmitted?"

"Theoretically, yes." Li Ying nodded.

"It seems that Chang'an is already researching space-based weapons, and maybe they are about to produce finished products." Li Zhao showed a playful look.

Li Shun frowned tightly, he didn't think Li Zhao would even chat nonsense at this point, she obviously meant something.

What is she going to say?

"Don't rush to ask, listen to me first."

Li Zhao saw Li Shun's intention and pointed to his lips.

"About three years ago, after Shenzi Mingkong devoted himself to the development of Tianli's general assembly project, the council secretly launched more than 10 new armament projects. 'Technology has come a long way so far."

"By collecting and analyzing the existing data samples of the mighty power of the throne, after a series of operations such as refining and weakening part of the power, it is transplanted to trained soldiers so that they can manipulate this pseudo power to a certain extent. This kind of battle The unit is [Void Spirit].”

"The principle is a bit similar to Nandou's [Battle Array], except that Nandou uses the mysterious 'heart net', while Chang'an uses the 'human reproductive equipment' they are good at."

"It's just that ordinary people can't bear the great power of the king. It takes a lot of resources to cultivate a Void Warrior capable of carrying great power. Every Void Warrior is a precious consumable, so this technology has become useless. , Although the council has also mastered a group of ethereals, it has not been able to expand the scale and form an institutional system."

"However, this stalemate was broken more than a year ago. The council has secretly transformed all the members of one of the three major battalions of the Royal Warriors into ethereal fighters, called [Ethereal Combat Group], and the name is only It was circulated at the highest level in Chang'an."

"...Sister, these seem to have nothing to do with me, why did you mention me?" Li Ying asked puzzled.

Li Zhao's remarks started with Li Ying, but she was completely unclear about the latter.

Li Zhao shook his head and said:

"During the interview with the great sage three years ago, in the technical list of optional transactions, I saw something called [Tianyu Exploration Clothing], Xiaoying, that is also your achievement, right?"

"Well, the establishment of the project is for the 'Tianyu Exploration Team' to develop strong tolerance equipment that can overcome negative conditions such as harsh air pressure, wind resistance, and temperature outside the virtual sky. The finished product of the clothing has increased by more than 60% on the basis of the set goal performance, and can be equipped with floating engines for short-to-medium-distance flight.”

Li Ying is very familiar with Chang'an's cutting-edge project research and development in the past seven years, because she has led a large part of it, and the other part has been indirectly influenced by her.

Li Zhao said lightly:

"Essentially, this is a study of materials. The conditions of the sky outside Xutian's boundary are so bad that even the throne cannot survive for a long time. If there is a material that can withstand such extreme conditions, then it will naturally be able to resist Other things, like...reduced royal power."

"Void spirit battle suit." Li Shun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, it can be called that."

Li Zhao looked at Li Shun with interest:

"Ah Shun really knows a lot. Speaking of which, I heard from Ah Su that you are quite powerful in Chang'an. I am a little envious. The imperial party wants to get some information in Chang'an, but it is difficult."

Li Shun didn't intend to answer.

Apart from not wanting to pay attention to the tentative meaning in Li Zhao's words, in fact he didn't know what the Void Spirit battle suit was. He still heard this word from the dying Prajna tonight.

But combined with Li Zhao's description, it is completely possible to use this term to nest.

One thing is certain, Prajna was on the verge of death at that time, in order to save his life, he kept emphasizing the value of Ming Kong, and he even confided all the information about the Three Corpse Gods. Everything he says is true.

"Of course, I don't have any definite information about what's going on inside, but it's a coincidence?"

Li Zhao sneered lightly, and said:

"Looking back and looking at this communication device, its essence is actually the research on the transmission medium of spiritual waves, that is...the cornerstone of space-based weapons. With this kind of spiritual waves, all that is left is to increase the power That's all."

"The subtlety of the human heart is here. As long as the angle of thinking is changed a little, the technology originally used to support the construction of people's livelihood can be easily distorted to the side of war and killing."

"The council mass-produces ethereal battle suits to create an organic killing machine. The purpose is self-evident. Once the space-based weapons are cast, Chang'an, which is conceptually isolated from China and cannot be locked, can attack everything on the ground with impunity. Launch a devastating blow."

Li Ying's face suddenly faded and became pale.

Li Shun clearly felt the frail figure beside him who had just calmed down not long ago, trembling uncontrollably again.

Li Zhao's meaning was already obvious.

Li Shun knew that although the council headed by the great sage did control Li Ying, they could not actually force her to carry out research and development.

On the one hand, once science and technology research and development lacks initiative, efficiency will inevitably decrease, which will lead to results that are not as good as expected or even have mistakes. Especially talented developers like Li Ying are in great need of subjective initiative.

On the other hand, although the longitude and latitude behind it are not clear, the name of Emperor Ji on the head of "Ming Kong" still has a certain deterrent effect on Chang'an.

Even though the three generations of maharajas have passed away for many years, there are still some strong supporters in the world, including Guangmogong Wei Qiongqi. Although it is not enough to separate them, if these people unite under a political symbol like "Ming Kong", , it may form a threatening energy.

Under such circumstances, in order not to make enemies everywhere, Chang An could only bind himself. He could neither threaten Li Ying's personal safety, nor force her to change her will. Keeping her in Chang'an was already at the limit. They even Her personal liberty and material conditions must be ensured.

Of course, the great sage didn't cause trouble for himself, he had his own way to drive Li Ying to create value for him.

In addition to long-term psychological pressure, gradually destroying Li Ying's psychological defenses, and achieving domestication with terror, his other method is deception.

In the 7 years since Li Ying came to Chang'an, Chang'an has ushered in another period of rapid development. The scale of urban development has doubled, and the degree of intelligence has increased rapidly. aisle...

And yet... it's a deception.

For careerists, peace has never been an end, but a means to extract benefits from the people and prepare for war.

The council headed by the great sage disassembled and converted the difficult problems of the war reserve technology, put on the clothes of the people's livelihood, and handed it over to Li Ying for development. Before Li Ying didn't realize it, her achievements had been quietly used to arm Their weapons of war have become the minions of ambition.

Li Shun can even think of the rhetoric of great sages, such as "Your efforts are building blocks for Chang'an", "Chang'an's glory is created by you", "Chang'an's tomorrow is in your hands", etc. The high-ranking person can come to these without blinking.

Induced by words and tricks, Li Ying, who was already helpless, finally threw himself into the carefully woven trap.

"A Shun, have you seen that, I am far more ambitious than I am in this world."

Li Zhao said with a smile, but his eyes gradually darkened:

"I've already set the stage for you, Ah Shun, next, it's up to you to take care of Qi Taiyi, an old fox with two heads."

She looked at Li Shun with deep eyes, with a bright green light, as if she was expecting something.

But Li Shun didn't realize it.

"Qi Taiyi?" He asked doubtfully.

Li Zhao's eyes became subtle.

After listening to her words, Li Shun's expression was still calm, which was not what she expected.

"Yes, great sage, Qi Taiyi."

Li Zhao didn't show any hesitation, and continued:

"The core of the Sanyuan faction that presides over the governing council is the three brothers of the Qi clan—[Taibai] Qi Taiyi sits in the Ziwei center, [Chen Xing] Qi Tianyi leads the Taiwei Corps, and [Suixing] Qi Diyi is in charge of Tianshi management. .The power of the star field official house belongs to the four major families, which is not centralized enough, so these three people are the de facto highest power holders in Chang'an at present."

"Sangyuan Qi is an old aristocrat called Shenzhou Wenzong together with Changyuan Wei who was born in Bailuyuan Wei. As early as the Twelve Kingdoms in the old calendar, he was the Zaifu family. Later, he was punished by the three generations of Ming Ming's hot hands because of political disputes. Became a victim on his way to become emperor, only a small sect escaped."

"Father has a discerning eye. He chose to absorb this small Qi clan into Chang'an. With the help of the Qi clan's excellent political ability, he quickly established and perfected the political system in Chang'an. Then he invited Wei Lao to ascend to the sky. Since then, the two major literary sects have gathered to open a school. In the prosperous age, Chang'an will soon usher in the first peak period of development."

Li Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and his voice was quiet:

"It's just that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Unlike the high-spirited old Wei, the Qi family can be described as ambitious."

"They pretended to be obedient in front of their father. After their father abdicated, the Qi family, who controlled the important political system, revealed their true colors. They secretly controlled the power in Chang'an, emptied the sage organization, and later established a council to liquidate the sage families. From then on, Chang'an There is no organization of sages anymore, only the so-called 'Great Sage' in name."

"...Father?"

At this moment, Li Ying finally couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes:

"Sister, what are you talking about? What father?"

"Father is the father of our family, Li Yao, he is the leader of the sage organization that created this city, the second generation of great sage Sun."

Li Zhao firmly revealed this astonishing secret.

"Silly girl, otherwise, do you think that after your father passed away, why did you go to Guangmoye to become Ming Kong, and why did you go to Chang'an, a place where you are bound but also given the strictest protection? Don't you think Is everything too coincidental?"

She let out a laugh, and raised her plain hand lightly, as if she wanted to touch Li Ying's forehead through the void.

"There are not so many coincidences and accidents in the world, especially for us. For you, for me, and for your brother, many things are destined."

For some reason, upon hearing these words, Li Ying felt shuddering as she watched the night wind blowing the black hair on the sideburns of the beautiful woman in front of her.
