Murong Yan was in a good mood, humming songs with her unique and charming accent, without any image of a secret agent. Li Qingyun curled his lips secretly, thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and his eyes were observing the surrounding roads and signs, but after entering a tunnel, it became more and more difficult.
The deeper you go, it's like entering an underground city.
"Aren't you going to blindfold me? Aren't you afraid that the secret base will be exposed?" Li Qingyun said.
"Even in broad daylight, you can't remember the way. Even if you do come in, there are no special signs, secret entry instructions, and base weapons, and you can enter paradise in minutes." Murong Yan replied.
On the wide road, a military defense checkpoint finally appeared. It was a bit like the secret base in imagination. However, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint just checked their IDs, looked at the members in the car, and used the communicator to ask a few questions.
Released.
After passing this level and passing through a maze-like tunnel area, Li Qingyun saw a huge courtyard. Under the dim light, he could see a sign of the 1509 Research Institute hanging at the door.
There is a wide parking lot in front of the door. There are many military vehicles and two tanks, which seem to be on standby at any time to protect the safety here.
After getting out of the car, Li Qingyun discovered that he could actually see the stars in the sky here? After going around for so long, he actually left the underground again? Returned to the surface?
I took out my cell phone and looked, but there was no signal. I scanned the area with my mind and found that there were a lot of hidden guards around. It seemed that this research institute was very important.
Murong Yan said: "Don't worry, signal shielding is a regular facility. The 1509 Research Institute is an exclusive research institute of our relevant departments and has some cooperation projects with the military. I brought you here because Academician He wants to talk to you, of course.
, you can reveal some information in advance. It’s about the sun stone.”
Li Qingyun didn't want to ask any questions, and he didn't want to know who Academician He was. He was discussing the sun stone in the middle of the night. Was there something wrong with his brain? What was there to discuss? Apart from some characteristics that could be known through experiments, he didn't know anything.
"I have seen the sun stone. But if you talk to me about the sun stone, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Except that it can improve the quality of plants, I don't know anything else. Even what kind of material it is and where it comes from in the universe.
I don't even know. When I went into the mountains, I got a piece by chance. Knowing that Mao'er needed the sun stone for research, I divided it and built a small laboratory for her." Li Qingyun said.
"Don't tell me this. I don't even understand." Murong Yan smiled and said, "Come on, follow me in. Academician He heard that you were coming and has been waiting for you in the laboratory for a long time."
Li Qingyun shrugged and let her lead the way. Since these people didn't believe it, he had a stupid answer. He made them cry stupidly.
At the entrance of the research institute, Li Qingyun looked at Murong Yan curiously. First, he pressed his palm on the light screen, and then a password box popped up. After entering a string of passwords, the heavy door slid open quietly.
Li Qingyun followed him in. Inside was an ordinary large courtyard with a slightly higher wall. However, a martial arts cultivator of the second level or above could easily jump over.
"Don't think about jumping over the wall to get in, or you will die miserably. This is just a peripheral observation area, follow me." Murong Yan said, leading Li Qingyun into a room on the right. Then he passed through a corridor and entered an elevator.
.
The elevator went down for about thirty seconds, and when the elevator door opened, Li Qingyun saw many busy people wearing various work clothes. Some were wearing full-body protective clothing, not even showing their eyes, and were walking around awkwardly. Some were wearing armor-like things.
, creaking into another entrance, with the words "Test Room" written on it.
"They don't sleep?" Li Qingyun was stunned, and it took him a long time to ask such a question.
"They work the night shift." Murong Yan replied matter-of-factly.
"What is being studied here? Why are there so many weird staff?" Li Qingyun asked, pointing to the man who just passed by and was wrapped in armor.
Murong Yan explained: "Single-soldier mechas are not the ones in science fiction movies. They have limited functions, but they are enough to greatly increase the combat effectiveness of an ordinary soldier. Currently, Academician He is studying a new generation of single-soldier mechas that use sun stones as energy sources.
A, there was a little problem in the middle, so I need to ask anyone who knows about Sunstone."
"There are so few sun stones, so what will happen if we actually research them?" Li Qingyun asked disapprovingly.
"It doesn't take too much. Ten super mechas with unlimited energy are enough to change the direction of a small-scale war. We are not working behind closed doors. The research in the United States and Russia has already made major breakthroughs, coupled with the abilities of superpowers
With special abilities, our country's cultivators have fewer and fewer advantages. In several conflicts in special areas, we suffered heavy casualties." Murong Yan explained solemnly.
Li Qingyun said in astonishment: "You said that the Sun Stone has unlimited energy? How is that possible? It will also consume... Well, well, it can also recover slowly under the sun. Within its life span, it can be regarded as unlimited energy.
Bar."
At this moment, applause was suddenly heard from the side channel: "Yes, at least you know that the sun stone is a renewable energy source. Based on this, we can have an in-depth conversation."
Your sister’s in-depth conversation, this is one of the basic characteristics of the sun stone, okay? Anyone who owns the sun stone can know these characteristics by patiently observing it for a few days.
Following the voice, Li Qingyun turned his head and saw an old man with silver hair and age spots on his face, sitting in a special wheelchair, slowly approaching.
Murong Yan had already shouted respectfully: "Academician He, why are you out? We are preparing to go find you."
Academician He smiled and said: "Murong, don't be polite to me, an old man. Just bring me here. Let's go to the showroom to talk. There are many collections there, which will make it easier for me to talk to Mr. Li."
Li Qingyun didn't know Academician He's qualifications. Seeing that Murong Yan respected him so much, he didn't dare to blame him, so he hurriedly said: "You can just call me Xiao Li. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, but I really don't know much about Sunstone.
In front of experts and academicians like you, I really have nothing to show off."
"No, no, no, it's not just about the basic properties of the Sunstone, we also want to make a deal with you." Academician He doesn't need anyone to support him, and he doesn't see him operating a wheelchair. The chair can move faster or slower according to his thoughts.
Either stop or go.
Li Qingyun was curious about everything here. A real old farmer didn't know anything when he came to the city. As for Academician He's suggestion of doing business with him, Li Qingyun felt it was normal, because it took a lot of effort to get him in. If he hadn't taken a liking to him,
If you have something, then there is a ghost.
The so-called showroom should be called an exhibition room. It is a huge room with strange bones, bird feathers, and even scales hanging on the walls. Around the walls, there are glass cabinets about a foot wide, filled with colorful items.
stones, and emit strange energy fluctuations.
"Huh?" Li Qingyun looked at these stones in surprise. Several of them could actually produce extremely exciting fluctuations in the small space. The fluctuations were a bit stronger than when he saw the Sun Stone.
These stones come in red, purple, blue, black, cyan, grey, yellow, orange, transparent... The richness can form a color sample library.
Except for a kind of sapphire and a special kind of jade in the corner, Li Qingyun has never seen other stones, and he doesn't know what kind they belong to. He intuitively thinks they are unusual. But most of the energy fluctuations have nothing to do with spiritual energy.
, are other energy fluctuations that have never been seen before.
After scanning with his spiritual mind, he found a few egg-sized sun stones, but the energy contained in them was extremely weak.
"Most of these stones are meteorites, coming from space. You are also a cultivator, feel the energy fluctuations of these stones and see if you like them?" Academician He saw Li Qingyun's surprise, sat in a wheelchair and followed him.
.
"So what if I see something I like? Well, does the transaction you just mentioned have anything to do with this?" Li Qingyun came to his senses and stared at Academician He and asked.
"Xiao Li, I won't mince words with you. Our country really needs sun stones. This sun stone is not a real substance that fell from the sun. It is only because this kind of meteorite has the lighting properties of the sun that it is called
Sunstone."
"Countless meteorites fall every day around the world. No one is sure what type of meteorite they are until they are found. Judging from the data we have received, more than 98% of the fallen meteorites are some
Cheap ores such as worthless iron ore.”
"Last time when a meteorite fell near Qinglong Town, we thought it was an ordinary meteorite and only sent an ordinary scientific expedition team to investigate. When it was confirmed that it was an extremely precious and rare sun stone, the relevant departments joined forces with the military to
The mountain has been closed. It’s just that it was closed a little late, and a lot of manpower and material resources were spent, and only two palm-sized sun stones were obtained.”
"Later we heard that you had a sun stone and divided it into several pieces to build a sun stone lighting laboratory for your woman to study the mutation of plants. Mao'er also extracted an anti-youth substance from the mutated material, which can
It can delay human aging and even repair aging cells, making people look young again."
"This newly obtained sun stone is too wasteful to be used directly in plant lighting experiments. According to relevant literature, the lifespan of a sun stone is about sixty years, and it can undergo countless recovery processes during the period. But after sixty years
After that, no matter how much time it passes and no matter how much sunlight it is exposed to, it will never be able to recover."
"So, we would like to exchange the half-depleted sunstone for a brand new sunstone, and provide you with other compensation that is acceptable to you. For example, a sufficient number of semi-depleted sunstones, or other meteorites here."
Li Qingyun frowned slightly, not liking the feeling of being watched by the country. Regardless of the tone of the discussion, if you refuse, you will definitely be beaten by the country, and your career will be in a mess until you accept this condition.
However, the conditions put forward by Academician He are not impossible to consider, because he has indeed taken a fancy to a few special meteorites. If they are absorbed by the small space, they can definitely upgrade the small space again and complete the runes on the space stone tablet faster.
