"Great whirlpool?" In Qianye's impression, everything about the empire seemed to be a distant memory. The impression left by the maelstrom was only the decisive battle of the Unfallable City that day. All subsequent accidents originated from this moment.
However, Qianye still remembered that the entrance of the maelstrom was not in a neutral place, and the opening time was quite limited. It was precisely in order to compete for the place to enter the maelstrom that the younger generation of the empire and the eternal night fought in the city of the unfallen. But it has been a long time now, logically speaking, the entrance of the maelstrom has been closed long ago, waiting for the next opening. How did it suddenly become the source of war in the neutral land
Song Zining knew that Qianye was confused, so he drew the distribution map of the continents and neutral lands on the paper, and then slowly spun, saying: "You know, the world we live in is not static, but constantly rotating. "
This is common sense in the world, Qianye had learned it when he was in Huangquan training camp, but he didn't understand it very well.
Zi Ning continued: "What kind of world the Great Whirlpool is, so far there is no conclusion. I only know that it is very different from our world, so there are many rare resources produced. There are only two passages that can go to the Great Whirlpool. One that appears and disappears from time to time is the one where we compete with Yong Ye for the quota. The other one is in a neutral place, but it cannot be used at all."
He rotated the map of the continental distribution once, and continued to explain: "When the whole world rotates once, the first passage of the vortex may appear. Although it is not absolute, the probability will be much higher. And this one in the neutral land The passage was unusable in the past, and only a few people managed to get out of it, but they couldn't explain why they were able to come out. Basically, there is no return to the passage, so no matter whether it is the empire or the eternal night, it is considered that this passage is not good. exist."
After a pause, Song Zining's expression turned solemn, and he said, "But when I arrived at the neutral place, I felt that the surge of force here was a bit unconventional. After calculating this period of time, I feel that the tide of force is rare in a century. coming soon."
As Song Zining said, he scribbled down a large number of formulas on the paper as proof.
Qianye was ignorant of what he heard, and he couldn't understand the big formula numbers. These knowledge are too profound, not to mention studying, even if they just listen, few people can understand it. It is no wonder that throughout the ages, there have been very few people who are proficient in deriving the secrets of heaven. It turns out that there is such a difficult and obscure knowledge to be practiced behind the scenes. It is conceivable how many people have both cultivation talent and intelligence, and can combine the two. It's no wonder that people who are good at deriving the secrets of heaven are often good at military strategy. Even if they are not alone, they are also the military advisors and staff of the big shots.
Song Zining knew that Qianye didn't understand, so he briefly explained the force tide. That is, every hundreds of years, the force of the whole world will go through a cycle from high to low, and then from low to high, just like the tide of the sea. Why this situation happened, regardless of the empire's eternal night, there are many disputes, and there is no conclusion.
The empire was established for a short period of time, and it has not experienced a few force tides since its founding, so it is difficult to study due to the lack of data. Although the Eternal Night side has a long history, because most of the major races only rely on instinct and blood power, they are not as systematic and systematic as the Empire in exploring the world.
According to Lin Xitang's deduction, the reason for the generation of the force tide, or because the whole world is revolving around an unknown target, one rotation is a complete force tide.
This assertion was so shocking that few people in the empire believed it. The strong have already started the process of exploring the void, but after flying over the marginal continent, they are faced with an endless void, not to mention endless, there is not even a place to settle in the middle. And whether there is still a place to stand in the vast darkness ahead, no one can tell, even the Supreme Eternal Night Sacred Mountain can't see through this endless darkness.
The stars in the night sky seem so close, but in fact they are so far away, so far away that it is heart-palpitating and desperate.
The imperial court didn't care much about Lin Xitang's hypothesis. In the eyes of both the emperor and the ministers, this is just a guess. Even if it is true, it is not as important as Lin Shuai's record against the rebels in the Westland. What's more, the empire and Yongye have been fighting for years, and many battles are related to the fate of the country. If the empire dies, it is to prove that the ground under our feet is round, so what's the use
For Qianye, what Song Zining said was too difficult and obscure, even more incomprehensible than the inheritance of the long river of blood. In contrast, it may be much easier to kill a Marquis.
Song Zining didn't expect Qianye to be able to understand it. After roughly explaining the principle of force tides, he returned to the topic.
It is currently the trough period of the tide of force, and it will not be long before the force of the void will usher in the most peaceful period in hundreds of years. During this period, the force storm in the channel leading to the maelstrom will also become much calmer, at least it will no longer be in a state where it was absolutely impossible to pass through alive. If this is the case, then there will be a stable passage leading to the maelstrom.
Although relatively calm, the force storm still exists. But the value of a passable passage is needless to say. For this channel, Yongye and the empire can start a new war. And this war will inevitably involve many forces in the neutral land, making it extremely chaotic.
Not long after coming to the neutral ground, Song Zining recruited Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan. On the one hand, it was to help Qianye, and on the other hand, it was to lay the groundwork in advance. If the passage is true, then in the battle with Yongye China took the lead. This is also the reason why Song Zining, uncharacteristically, did not take root in Beilu and develop silently, but chose to base himself in Nanqing City, the place of the Four Wars.
After Qianye listened silently, he said after a while, "Do you think I'm still fit to fight for the empire?"
"You can't stand on Yongye's side, can you?" Song Zining laughed.
Qianye stood silent, and Song Zining's smile became more and more forced, and finally he stopped laughing and let out a long sigh.
Qianye finally said, "Why not? Just now, you should have felt that my blood energy has far surpassed the original force of dawn. By the standards of the blood clan, I am already a Marquis. Now it is getting harder and harder for me to control my blood energy." Development, maybe one day, the blood energy will completely overwhelm the dawn force, and I will be a blood race at that time."
"anything else?"
Qianye hesitated, and said: "Also, if...she returns to Yongye in the end, and I want to go there, I will go too."
"Do you know?"
"of course."
"Forget it." Song Zining was unceremonious, patted Qianye's shoulder, and said, "Is it really a good thing that she returned to Yongye? You should know this better than me."
"Empire..." Qianye smiled wryly and shook his head.
"I understand that you don't want to fight for an empire like this."
Qianye let out a long breath and said, "Indeed."
"Me too, but there's nothing I can do. When it comes to war, how can we sit idly by?" Song Zining also smiled wryly.
"This will only allow the current empire to continue, does it really make sense?"
"Whether it makes sense or not is a matter for the future, but we can only talk about it now. If we don't fight this war, can we still hide from it? We all hid in a neutral place."
Seeing that Qianye was still depressed, Song Zining laughed and said, "Anyway, we have to fight if we fight, and we have to fight if we don't fight. Who made this passage appear in a neutral place?"
Qianye snorted, and said, "I'm not interested, at worst, go to Beilu to hide."
"Really don't want to fight? In the maelstrom there are lotuses in the sea!" Song Zining smiled treacherously.
"..." Qianye only hummed heavily to express his dissatisfaction.
When Qianye pushed the door away, Ji Tianqing's voice sounded from the side, "Are you so sure?"
The eldest lady had been hiding in the room all along, and with her ability, it was natural for Qianye to be unaware.
Song Zining sighed softly, and said, "Don't look at him saying that, when the fight really starts, he knows that we are also on the battlefield, so he will naturally come."
"It's not us, it's you." Ji Tianqing said.
"No, it's us. Even if it's just you, he will come."
There seemed to be something flashing in Ji Tianqing's eyes, and suddenly she patted Song Zining on the shoulder hard, almost knocking him to the floor, and said, "Next time when you do something bad, make your voice louder, lest this lady can't hear you hard!"
After all, before Song Zining could stand still, she had disappeared from the spot.
Song Zining gasped in pain, managed to stand still, snorted, and said to himself, "Damn girl, with such a heavy hand, do you think I can't see what's on your mind?"
The following January was uneventful.
Despite the seemingly peaceful situation, there are also many unusual things. In Nanqing City, the flow of people and goods increased suddenly, and the streets that were already congested now often became blocked. While cursing the congested traffic, people rejoice at the increasingly heavy wallets.
With the continuous influx of material resources into the city, the construction speed of various workshops has been greatly increased, and new workshops are completed almost every day. For merchants, time is gold. Once the workshop is completed, one day will be lost if it is vacant, so almost every business firm is recruiting craftsmen on a large scale to prepare for the soon-to-be-completed workshop.
The industrial system of Nanqing City has already taken shape. Here, almost a whole floating battleship can be built. As long as they are not so stupid, they will see the huge business opportunities ahead, so they will increase their investment again. New inputs mean more people and more supplies, speeding up the cycle even more.
As massive amounts of wealth gather in Nanqingcheng, how to ensure the safety of these wealth has become an important issue. In the face of real gold coins, neither Guanlan nor Tingchaocheng's forces became important anymore, and even Zhang Tianwang's deterrence was imperceptibly diluted a lot. When Song Zining proposed to expand the army to prepare for war and build fortress turrets, all the business houses strongly supported them and contributed money and efforts one after another. They didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Song Zining's plan. In their view, the more troops the better, even if the size of the troops has already threatened Tingchao and Guanlan City.
