"It's that Aiden." Qianye nodded.
Song Zining collected the Illusion Realm, and solemnly said: "Before I came to the neutral land, I heard that Aiden's ranking in the family has risen sharply with his achievements, and he is now regarded as one of the contenders for the next Patriarch. Such a genius will definitely not come to the neutral land alone, so we are likely to face the mobile troops of the Abyss of Darkness next."
Qianye nodded. After fighting with Aiden for so long, he naturally knows the potential and difficulties of this opponent all too well.
Song Zining mused, "However, if the mobile troops of the Abyss of Darkness come to the neutral ground, their combat power will be greatly reduced if they don't expect it. Maybe they won't be so difficult to deal with."
Having said that, he immediately shook his head, "No, Abyss of Darkness participated in the battle that Yong Ye almost captured the neutral land last time, and he knew something about the neutral land. This time, he must be prepared Come on, most of the equipment has been specially adjusted, and the combat power is limited, so we can't take it lightly."
Qianye nodded. There have been countless small battles in the past. As long as there are demons involved, it will be difficult to fight.
Song Zining closed the folding fan, and thought deeply: "But at this time, Aiden is not going to the whirlpool, what is he doing here? Could it be that there is something wrong with the whirlpool?"
Qianye knew nothing about the situation of the Great Whirlpool, and asked, "Has the Great Whirlpool opened?"
Song Zining nodded, "Well, the channel has been opened. But generally speaking, the channel in the early stage is not stable, and it points to the edge. So in the past, some geniuses with high self-esteem did not enter in the early stage, but waited until the channel pointed to the deep vortex. Re-enter from time to time, give up the harvest in the edge area, and concentrate on obtaining the resources in the inner edge area. In addition, the production of secret resource areas discovered by some families will also be transported out during this period, and a strong team is required to escort them."
Qianye also felt a little strange. Although Aiden's strength is outstanding, if he is one of the few geniuses in the two camps, he is still not qualified. His growth is more dependent on his own unremitting efforts and tenacious will, rather than amazing talent. It is indeed strange that he came to the neutral land at this time.
After contemplating for a while, Song Zining seemed to have made up his mind, and said solemnly: "In the next period of time, there may be something big going on in the East China Sea. What we have to do is to shrink the defense line, clean up the area around Nanqing and Tingchao City first, and clear the area around the city. Fight out all the forces with different intentions to ensure that the resources of Guanlan City can be used by me. In addition, after the area is safe, I will transport all six engines and four main guns from Ningyuan Heavy Industry's inventory and install them on the Hall of Valor. But they are all good things that were originally planned to be used on the latest batch of destroyers of the empire."
"Your Ningyuan Heavy Industry has developed to this extent?" Qianye was quite surprised. Being able to build the main gun and main engine is one step away from building a complete battleship. After all, these are the most critical and difficult parts. According to common sense, not to mention that Ningyuan Heavy Industry has only developed for a few years, even if it is given 30 years, it will be difficult to achieve its current achievements.
Song Zining smiled and said, "I helped a big man with something, these are a little sweetness for me."
Qianye is speechless, this "little sweetness" has already reached 20% of the empire's overall shipbuilding technology. Not to mention ordinary big shots, even the emperor of the empire would have to spend some effort to get them out.
However, Qianye never asked Song Zining what he didn't want to talk about in detail. He spread out the map, confirmed several hostile forces that needed to be cleaned up, and then made a plan for the next step.
After the plan was made, Qianye took out the suitcase containing rare metals from Anduya's mysterious space and placed it in the courtyard. This suitcase was extremely heavy, Qianye laid a layer of force in advance to support it, and then carefully put down the suitcase. If it is placed directly on the ground, it may sink into the ground immediately.
Song Zining opened the suitcase, first inspected the metal ingots, then flicked the metal support structure inside the box, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, there are a lot of black gold components. Although the amount is less than expected, it is enough. These Ugin, it’s enough for us to fully use it for three years. Haha, the guy who sold it must have never imagined that we already have the empire’s first-class shipbuilding technology in our hands, and the utilization efficiency of Ugin has been greatly improved.”
"Look at what this is. I've never seen such an engine before." As he spoke, Qianye released the engine again.
Song Zining was also taken aback when he saw this thing that looked like a big iron bucket covered in thin tubes. This is different from the various engines he is familiar with. Song Zining looked around it up and down, and said with a wry smile, "After all, I'm not a craftsman, I just got a general idea. I'm afraid I'll be able to understand this thing after the chief craftsman from Ningyuan Heavy Industry comes."
Qianye said: "It's really not that simple. I sensed the breath of the giant void beast on it."
"Giant Void Beast? That doesn't make sense." Song Zining checked again. He even reached into the opening of the engine and touched it carefully, but he couldn't find any trace of the Void Beast.
He stood up and pondered: "It seems that the only way to know the truth is to disassemble it. It's better to wait for the master craftsman to come over and let him do it, so as not to damage the structure of this engine. I originally thought, This is a mechanism used by our opponents to assassinate us, but if we use the wreckage of the Void Behemoth, the loss outweighs the gain.”
Qianye agreed. Any part of the void behemoth is priceless, let alone this kind of part that still has the breath of life and is still alive. It can be said that the value of such a remains is comparable to a brand new large engine. Paying such a price to harm others is probably not harm, but a gift.
Song Zining arranged a force circle around the engine to isolate the breath, and said, "We'll find out when the master craftsman comes over tomorrow. No matter what it is, we have nothing to lose, and we didn't spend any money anyway."
Qianye snorted and said, "What I lost was my reputation."
Song Zining laughed, "The day you get out of the empire, you won't have any reputation at all. Anyway, reputation is worthless in a neutral place."
Qianye shrugged, Song Zining's words were true. This matter was originally a trap. The other party arranged for Aiden to ambush and kill him. They thought they could kill Qianye in Guanlan City, but they didn't expect Qianye's own strength to advance by leaps and bounds, even faster than Aiden. In addition, Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan Two big killers were hidden on the side, but Aiden was injured and fled away, and all the bait was swept away by Qianye.
Qianye has no burden at all to rob things from the opposing camp.
Qianye left the suitcase and engine behind, and went back to practice on his own. Although the battle with Aiden was only a brief moment, there are still enough things to digest slowly.
At noon on the second day, a soft ringtone woke Qianye up from his practice.
"Qianye, come and have a look, this thing is a bit weird."
Qianye restrained his force, got up and put on his clothes, and came to the courtyard where Song Zining lived. In the small courtyard, several craftsmen in white robes were busy around the engine. Most of the original engine had been disassembled, and the large and small parts were neatly arranged in different categories. A special person shall mark the mark, and make a corresponding mark on the drawing.
At this moment, the external parts of the mysterious engine have been removed in sevens and eighties, exposing the inner wall. An old man with white hair tapped on the inner wall lightly, listened to the sound carefully, raised his head after a while and said, "Seventh Young Master, this inner wall is not simple, if the old man is not blind, then the performance of this strange metal may not be as good as that of the young master." How different is the recipe that I got. And it seems that it should have some other characteristics, so we need to wait for the experimental workshop to be built before we can analyze it in depth.”
Song Zining saluted and said, "This is Lao Hu."
In addition to the master craftsmen from Ningyuan Heavy Industry, Li Kuanglan was standing in a corner, staring at the scene carefully, while Ji Tianqing was leaning against a tree, looking at the sky boredly, wondering what she was thinking. The presence of the two was also to prevent accidents. Like the vampires, demons are also rich in killers.
The chief master craftsman tapped on the inner wall gradually, and suddenly stopped at the head, and then tapped repeatedly, with varying degrees of strength. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the echo.
This is a special method, which uses the difference in the size and nature of the knocking force to detect the interior of the object according to the echo. Mastered to the depths, you don't need a lot of profound force, you can also explore the internal situation of large components.
Qianye closed his eyes and moved his ears slightly, trying to catch the echo vibration. Gradually, a picture gradually became clear, and the inner wall of the engine slowly appeared in my mind. But listening to it, Qianye frowned, feeling that the inner head is very strange, the thickness is far thicker than the tail exit, but the inner part is very loose and not very tight. And its density seems to be slowly changing.
Qianye's perception was extremely keen, and he knew that this couldn't be an illusion. The density in the front part of the inner wall was indeed changing.
The master craftsman obviously also noticed the abnormality here, checked it repeatedly for a long time, and finally found an imperceptible slit. After rubbing along this slit, I found that it was originally a cover plate, but after a long time, the outer wall was covered by a backlog of putty, which made it look like a whole.
There is no mechanism or locking device on this cover, so I don't know where to start to open it. The master craftsman inspected it for a long time before sighing: "This kind of craftsmanship is really admirable. This engine was a product hundreds of years ago, at least. It is amazing that it can have such precision back then. If the old man’s expectations are correct, this cover should not have any locking device, it should be installed entirely by precision, and fixed by the natural suction. As for opening, it should be like this.”
As he said that, the master craftsman put his hand on the cover, operated the original force, stuck the cover firmly, and lifted it vigorously.
But the cover didn't budge.
The master craftsman's old face was flushed, and he used the force several times in a row, exerting all his strength, but the cover plate did not move, as if it was firmly nailed on.
He had no choice but to give up, and said: "This old man's strength is really low, you have to hire another expert to open it. The secret of this engine should be hidden under this cover."
Song Zining looked around for a week, and finally saluted Ji Tianqing, and said with a smile: "Please help me, Miss."
Ji Tianqing chuckled and said, "No problem, I just like you who are polite."
