"A glowing left ventricle? A heart? But from your description, it seems to be very big?" Xia Libo immediately became interested when he heard this strange thing.
Seeing him stretching his head with a curious look, Xu Le curled his lips inwardly. He had just said no, but now his body was very honest. This must be Xia Libo.
"Yes, it is very big."
"Not a human heart?"
"I never said it was a human thing."
While the two were talking, Li Wen had already instructed Secretary Liu who was patrolling the area:
"Send some protection here and set this place as a restricted area."
Secretary Liu hesitated for a moment and said:
"But the situation is quite complicated now. Although we have used ancient weapons, the pressure of city defense is still very high. We need to transfer more manpower..."
"I didn't ask you to withdraw personnel from the city defense or the parliament."
"Strike up the parliament? Us?" Secretary Liu pointed at himself. They were just Zion Progressives. They were a department under the parliament. Now the department below was going to command the parliament. Wasn't this a bit too much
"What's wrong? Is there any problem? Didn't you see how much contribution our Zion Progressors have made tonight? Just go and ask for it. If they don't give it to you, tell them not to be ungrateful." Li Wen said as a matter of course.
"So arrogant? This doesn't seem to be in line with our previous style of doing things?"
Secretary Liu said with some guilt that they had always been smooth in their way of doing things, but now they had suddenly become so arrogant that he could not adapt for a while.
“Go ahead, now no one can speak louder than Zion progressives, not even the congressman.”
Looking at Li Wen's arrogant look, Xu Le knew that he was not very comfortable in the parliament before. Although he held an important position, the gap in level was there after all.
After instructing the secretary, Li Wen looked at Xu Le again. He was not a professional, so he still had to seek Xu Le's opinion in this regard.
"What is this heart, who does it belong to, and what is its specific function?"
"That's a long story."
"Since it's a long story, let's make it short." Li Wen waved his hand.
"Does Uncle Li know about the tower?"
"I know. What's wrong?"
"Then Uncle Li, have you ever thought about why the tower can bring almost eternal light and what are its energy conditions?"
How could a Zionite like him know about these things in Lighthouse City? Li Wen shook his head.
"This should be a major secret of the entire lighthouse, right? How could I possibly know it?"
Xu Le was about to speak, but suddenly remembered the taboos regarding forbidden things, and the words on his lips suddenly became hesitant.
Li Wen treated him very well and was reliable. This incident might not be a problem, but if it was, it would very likely put Li Wen in trouble. It was better to be careful.
So Xu Le took out his black stick and stuck it into the ground.
As Xu Le injected ancient sound spiritual energy into the black staff, a layer of darkness covered the three of them.
"Barrier? It feels like something quite advanced." Xia Libo commented.
"Of course I do. This belongs to my elder brother. Only an excellent henchman like me can own it." Xu Le raised his head, showing that he was awesome and his elder brother was also awesome.
Although they were quite curious about who Xu Le's elder brother was, Li Wen and Xia Libo did not ask unless Xu Le explicitly stated it.
"Can you tell me now?" Li Wen glanced at the dark curtain and felt something strange, as if something scary was spying on them.
"The thing below, the owner of this heart, is Lightforged, the son of Ancient Yinduo. His body was torn apart by a powerful being, and his heart was stolen or moved away by some other force and left here.
As for the specific function of this thing, it is probably the same as that thing. It can glow by itself and even generate some ancient sound energy.
But compared to the things in the tower, this thing is much smaller. This one is about this size, and that one is about this size."
As he spoke, Xu Le used his hands to indicate the size.
In fact, he had no idea how big Lightcast's head was. He just estimated the size of Lightcast's head based on Wang Man's description and the size of the half heart under his feet.
Hearing the title "Son of Gu Yinduo", both Xia Libo, the researcher, and Li Wen, the administrative boss, felt a tightness in their hearts.
Moreover, as a coordinator, Li Wen immediately reacted to some things.
"Is this what Gu Yin's descendants are looking for?"
"Although I don't know what their specific purpose is, I think it should be." Xu Le nodded.
"A heart that can emit light and heat? It's actually a part of the body of the Son of Gu Yinduo. But this kind of thing... Never mind. What is its specific function?"
“Without any auxiliary devices, this heart can already have an impact on the surrounding objects. After a certain period of time, it can even turn the surrounding soil and stones into ancient sound multi-energy crystals.
So I think we could make this a renewable energy core, just like lighthouses do.”
Xu Le's proposal was very bold, and researchers like Xia Libo's eyes lit up when they heard it:
"I think so."
However, Li Wen still hesitated. He could not be as open as Xu Le and Xia Libo. He needed to consider more things, and he was responsible for many of Xu Le's actions.
Xu Le's behavior nowadays is already somewhat inclined towards Gu Yin. If it were just about energy, it would be fine.
But judging from the last conversation, Xu Le’s goal is definitely not as simple as energy, he has more pursuits.
So Li Wen still worries whether Zion will still be so pure one day in the future.
"Will your future ideas change the status of Zion's human race?"
Faced with Li Wen's sudden question, Xu Le was stunned for a moment, and Xia Libo also looked at him curiously. Obviously, he also understood what Li Wen meant.
But who is Xu Le? He has received nine years of compulsory education.
Nine years of compulsory education, how excellent and extensive.
The idea that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth has long been integrated into his blood. The "person" here refers to human beings.
"Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world. We grow, inherit, learn, educate, and develop in order to become a species different from other creatures. This world will be dominated by humans. Do you understand?"
Xu Le's tone was a little arrogant, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that the way he spoke to Li Wen was somewhat disrespectful.
However, Li Wen was not angry after hearing this, although his idea was a bit crazy. Even in the eyes of those people in the Red Moon Temple, it was ridiculous for humans to be the dominant force, because in most people's cognition, the Red Moon was the master of everything.
And Gu Yinduo... that is nothing more than a symbol of evil.
At least from Xu Le's statement, Li Wen didn't hear that Xu Le had any intention of becoming a rapist.
As for whether he will become a dictator, an emperor, or optimize Zion's parliamentary system in the future, it will still be mainly human.
Human-centeredness is worth supporting.
"It's good that you have such an idea. I also think that humans are the masters of this world, not Hongyue or Gu Yinduo."
It was the first time that Xu Le heard Li Wen say something like a team.
"If word of this gets to the Red Moon Temple, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble, Uncle Li."
"It's over, it's over. This is not the first time I've said this. For the sake of Zion's stability, the Red Moon Temple will not do anything to us."
Xu Le was stunned. Could the Red Moon Temple even interfere with an existence of Li Wen's level
"What kind of city is the Red Moon Temple? They send spies to various city-states, maintain the stability of several cities on the surface, and call themselves the Light of Humanity. What exactly do they want to do?"
Li Wen shook his head slightly:
"You'll know once you become a councillor. What you say now is not in compliance with the rules. It won't be long anyway."
"All right."
"Since it is the heart of the son of Gu Yinduo, there is a certain risk. What are you going to make of it? Something like a furnace?" Li Wen asked.
Regarding Li Wen's idea, Xu Le shook his head directly:
"No, the furnace is a production device. It is a device that can continuously generate stable energy for us while clearing out the weirdness. It is the core of Zion's future, but this thing is not. It doesn't even belong to us."
It's not ours? Li Wen looked at Xu Le in confusion.
"What is this heart then?"
“We can regard this half of the heart as energy itself. It is not a device and cannot be used. Over-development may even cause danger. After all, this is the heart of the son of Gu Yinduo, which itself carries great risks.
It will even absorb the surrounding ancient sound energy and pollute the surrounding environment, so I suggest... directly extracting the ancient sound energy of this heart and converting it into soap to provide energy for Zion."
"Just pump it? Wouldn't that be too rough?"
Li Wen originally thought that Xu Le would come up with some high-tech equipment, but now it seems that his approach is a bit rough.
As a researcher, doesn't Xu Le want to get to know the power and secrets of the Son of Ancient Yinduo from a distance? Look at Xia Libo's eager look.
Li Wen glanced at Xia Libo, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself:
“There’s a huge gap between real researchers and fake researchers.”
"We should strike hard against Gu Yinduo's weirdness and not give them any chance, especially against high-level guys like Gu Yinduo's son. We should do this even more."
When Xu Le said this, he also glanced at the black stick secretly. He said this, his elder brother shouldn't know, right
Then they discussed some details, and the people called by Secretary Liu began to clean up the dirt and rubble.
"Okay, you can get it out now."
Xu Le nodded, and began to use the rotten roots of the ancient black tree to slowly carry out half of the heart.
About ten minutes later, a sparkling left ventricle appeared in front of everyone.
"Stay away, everyone. This thing is extremely contaminating. I don't know how to explain it, but it's best to prepare some isolation equipment."
As soon as Xu Le finished speaking, a series of whistling sounds appeared in his ears.
This time it was no longer the Red Moon that was howling, but various ancient creatures. Their voices seemed to come from a very far distance.
Xu Le looked at Li Wen, Xia Libo and others in surprise and suspicion, and found that they were also looking around.
It was clear that he was not the only one who heard this sound.
"Did you all hear that, too?"
"I heard a weird cry."
Xu Le looked at Ai Li and Wang Shu who had returned, and got the same result.
"This voice..."
At this time, Secretary Liu hurried over, and without avoiding Xu Le and the others, he said directly:
"Minister, according to the report from the city defense area, the monsters in the black tide have stopped moving, and they are making strange roars."
"It has stopped. What about the quantity?"
"The number doesn't seem to be decreasing, and there is a trend of backlog."
Xu Le felt something was wrong when he heard this. The formation of the black tide must be related to the son of Gu Yinduo, but he didn't know what the specific relationship was.
"If the black tide does not recede, or even if there is a backlog of strange things, then let the city defense department prepare the space-based artillery. The backlog of strange things cannot be defended by infrastructure alone."
Secretary Liu glanced at Li Wen, then at Xu Le, and finally nodded.
"yes!"
The strange howling continued for a long time, and then it broke out even more violently.
However, the power of the space-based cannon is not something that the Kuroshio can currently contend with.
In the Black Tide, the most powerful cluster of monsters is only level 5, and there is only one type of them, the giant. The level 5 flesh-and-blood walls can no longer withstand the advancement of technological weapons.
When all the airships fired their space-based cannons at the same time, all the strangeness became a string of numbers before dawn.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, annihilation!
When the first rays of light in the morning illuminated the sky, all the strangeness receded like the tide.
After a brief silence, the city defense personnel immediately cheered.
This was the most glorious victory since the Black Tide gradually grew stronger, with the least number of soldiers sacrificed and the greatest results achieved, which was unprecedented.
For the first time, the people of Zion witnessed the power of ancient sound multi-tech weapons, and truly realized the changes brought about by ancient sound multi-tech weapons.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the broadcast in the city defense area began to sound.
“The energy in this black tide was developed and created by Dr. Xu Le of the Zion Progressive-Bright Soap Factory. Let us thank Dr. Xu Le for his contribution to the entire Zion.
Guyin Multi-Tech Core, your power is beyond your imagination."
When this broadcast came on, Xu Le was so embarrassed that he almost buried his head in the mud.
He looked at Li Wen:
"Was this arranged by Uncle Li?"
Li Wen shook his head:
"No, it was done by old Moen. He loves advertising the most."
"Well, prepare to transport the Lightforged Heart."
Since there is no way to resist, I can only accept it.
…
Night ends and dawn begins.
After Xu Le and the others left, two old people, a man and a woman, appeared above the dug out heart.
The old man asked:
"Just let them take the Lightforged Left Ventricle away? This shouldn't meet the requirements of the Temple, right?"
The old woman waved her hand indifferently, took a bite of pickled cucumber, drank a few sips of wine and said:
"This completely meets the requirements of the Temple. They are also Zion people, and the Lightforged Heart has not left Zion. They even want to extract the energy of the Lightforged Heart. Isn't this great? Hehehehehe..."
